Is this destiny?

Chapter 1941 - Blanc Store In Fairfield (1)

~ Fairfield ~

Black Ducati Dark Icon approached the mall building downtown Fairfield with a purr that attracted the attention of many people who were walking on the street that early afternoon.

As the deep sound of the powerful engine died, all the males in the vicinity were ogling at the majestic motorcycle, while females were staring shamelessly at the young man who removed his motorcycle helmet and ran his fingers through his inky hair to tame those mischievous strands that made girls weak in the knees.

His black leather boots, dark blue jeans, and a black leather jacket over a white t-shirt were unable to hide his impressive physique and almost no one noticed that there was a female on the motorcycle with him as well, in matching clothes.

Sarah removed her helmet and glanced around while exhaling helplessly. Somehow, she felt invisible.

"What will I do with you?", Sarah asked Aiden with a frown. He looked at her questionably, and she clarified: "I forgot the bug spray to chase all these flies away. Why are you so handsome?"

Aiden chuckled and helped Sarah to get off the motorcycle.

This Ducati Dark Icon is the same one Aiden won when he placed the largest bet that there is a baby boy in Sarah's belly. His baby boy.

Aiden gave Sarah a super-smooth ride so that they can enjoy his new toy together while ensuring her safety. This was Logan's first motorcycle ride!

Aiden hugged Sarah around her waist and noticed a number of females looking their way. He took a deep breath and shouted: "This is my wife! I love her very much and none of you compares to her, so get lost!"

Sarah's eyes nearly bulged out from surprise. It was a warm Sunday afternoon, and the street was packed, yet he was yelling like a madman.

"What are you doing?", she whispered in urgency.

"Chasing them away.", Aiden said with a smirk. 

Sarah was not sure how to respond to this. Aiden was always unpredictable, but with time passing, his behavior is getting more extreme. She shook her head and stifled a laugh. It's better like this than to give any woman a chance to get closer.

With that, Sarah and Aiden entered the mall.

Why are they here?

They arrived in Fairfield on the previous night and spent a steamy night in Aiden's two-bedroom apartment which is full of memories. Sarah woke up refreshed with a smile on her face which widened when she inhaled the familiar scent of pastries. She knew that Aiden woke up early and went to the bakery down the street so that he can surprise her with fresh breakfast, and that made her morning super-special.

After breakfast and some lazing on the sofa in the living room, Sarah and Aiden decided to come for a late lunch to this mall for several reasons.

First, they wanted to have lunch in the Greek restaurant which they frequented during their days at the University.

Second, Sarah loves walking through this mall where they did their first Christmas shopping together. During their walk, Aiden would remember every little detail from that shopping experience… how he figured out that she loves Greek symbols, and that she told him about presents for couples, and that they waited for the case for Jeff's tablet to be customized, yet Jeff never used it… and they ended that day in Aiden's apartment, wrapping presents, drinking tea and… hugging (for the first time). Sarah always admired how Aiden could remember every little detail and he told her (more than once) that he is unable to forget anything that is related to her because it's important. 

And the third (and the most practical) reason for them coming to this mall is that two months ago, Blanc flagship store opened in this mall, and as owners, Sarah and Aiden wanted to personally check it out.

Aiden also hopes that something shiny will catch Sarah's eye so that he can buy it for her. He found out that he will be the father to the boy Sarah is carrying in her belly, yet he didn't buy her anything to commemorate the occasion. Something shiny will be just right, and he is ready to pay attention to Sarah's reactions while she checks out the offerings Blanc has. He will buy whatever makes her smile.

Since its establishment, three years ago, Blanc became a luxury brand of jewelry, and it has a number of flagship stores located in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, Dallas, New York, and Miami, and they are planning to expand to Europe and Asia as well.

Thanks to a total of twenty-two mines and three processing facilities that Sarah and Aiden own under the name Blanc, they are able to get their hands on precious stones and rare materials which their team of jewelry designers transforms into masterpieces. Felix is the main designer, and everything needs his approval before it's added to the offering under the Blanc brand.

Felix also provided his guidance to several kids from the Cliffside Villa who became master craftsmen, and they manage other designers.

Bas, Dezy, Nico, Harini, and Chione created a number of signature models that are popular, and they are earning a percentage of the profits for each piece sold (if they created it).

Blanc jewelry is not only made out of high-quality materials, sparkly, and nice to look at, but it has hidden mechanisms and functionalities that attract customers regardless of the cost.

Opening a flagship store in a small town like Fairfield is not a wise business decision, but both Sarah and Aiden wanted to leave their mark in the place where it all began for them. For Sarah and Aiden, Fairfield will always carry the excitement and innocence of their first interactions as their love for each other sprouted and grew around them into an unbreakable bond that will last for eternity.

Sarah and Aiden decided to check out their store first, then have lunch, and last, to stroll through the mall. It will provide light exercise to help with digestion. After that is done, they will take another ride on Ducati Dark Icon before retreating to their two-bedroom abode to end the day with pizza and movies while snuggling next to each other on the sofa. Their Sunday is planned perfectly.

The two of them went straight to the second floor of the mall, where their Blanc store is located.

They held each other and stopped at the entrance to admire the eye-catchy logo that was above the main door. The glass display wall exposed exquisite jewelry that sparkled under the strategically placed spotlights which enhanced the visual appeal of perfectly polished pieces.

Everything about the Blanc store was planned immaculately, from the layout to lighting, materials, and staff, and just one glance at it is enough to understand that this is a high-end store.

Every time they opened a store, Sarah and Aiden were present, but because of the kidnapping mess, they couldn't come here. Michael and Oni made a brief visit to this store after it opened, but it was not the same as if the true owners came, so... here they are.
