ChristinaThe sand rushed up fast.By the time our feet touched the ground, my hands were still knotted in Hunter’s shirt. I didn’t remember reaching for him. I only knew he hadn’t let go once—not when the wind screamed, not when my knees shook, not even when the harness slackened.His arms stayed tight around me, like he was afraid I’d vanish the second the ropes came off.I stepped away the moment I could breathe again.Mom and Uncle Carter were already walking toward us.“Hunter… Chris?” Mom’s brows pulled together. “You two went together?”Hunter opened his mouth.Yes, Auntie,” he started, stepping closer to her.“Mom,” I cut in quickly. My heart was still racing. “I got scared of the height. Hunter just… helped me calm down.”The words tasted wrong.But I said them anyway.I told myself I was protecting the peace.The truth was simpler—I was afraid of what Hunter would do if I didn’t.Mom’s face softened. “Oh. That’s good, then.”Relief loosened something in my chest.Then her g

HunterI signaled the helper.He hesitated, then released the rope.I couldn’t see Chris’s face, but I felt it—the sharp flinch in her body. The way her breath stuttered under my hands.She was shocked. So was Alina.Chris never saw it coming.She never knew I decided the moment I left the dining table.I would be the one flying with her. Not that bastard.“But you should go with Alina,” she said quickly. “Why are you here with me?”Alina was still close enough to see us. Her eyes were wide. Helpless.“I broke off the engagement. She was never more than a friend” I said low. “You and I go together.” I tightened the straps and looked straight at Chris.Even though she was not cooperating much. I still made her wear the suit.“I won’t let another woman into my life. And I won’t let you go with another man.”I gestured to the instructor.He nodded. “Run.”Chris didn’t move.She planted her feet like the ground itself was holding her back.“I’m not going with you.” She shook her head hard

HunterWe gathered at the dining table for lunch.Chris sat beside Asher, laughing at something he said.My stomach twisted so hard I couldn’t even look at my plate. Every giggle cut into me like a blade.“Hunter… you’re not eating.” Melania gestured at my plate.I forced a smile. It felt fake.My appetite died the moment I saw Chris leaning toward Asher. My heart shattered every time her shoulder brushed his.How could I eat when everything was falling apart? This is not what I planned.Chris didn’t look at me once. I didn’t exist for her. She focused on her food and on him.Dad wiped his mouth and let out a happy sigh. “Somebody pinch me,” he said. His eyes moved between all four of us. “This feels wonderful, doesn’t it?”Melania nodded. “It does.”Wonderful.He had no idea what hell I was sitting in.He was thinking exactly what I feared.A future where Asher and Chris belonged together.A future where I wasn’t part of her story at all.Over my dead body.Chris would marry me. Not

ChristinaAlina’s eyes darted between us. She took the opportunity and stood from her seat.Jumping across the water, she moved to Hunter’s jet ski.“Hunter, wait,” She climbed behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist.Hunter’s brows drew together. He clearly didn’t like Alina sitting behind him.“Alina!” he shouted over the engine. “What are you doing here?”He sounded annoyed, but I didn’t care.I climbed behind Asher.Hunter’s gaze locked on my hands as they circled Asher’s waist.His jaw tightened when my chest brushed Asher’s back.Rage rolled off him.Hunter’s gaze burned at my hands which wrapped around Asher’s waist.“No, Chris,” he called out. His voice rising. “You came with me. You can’t leave with him.”My eyes flicked toward Alina. She had her arms locked around his neck.Holding him like she owned him.Another lie.He’d said he broke up with her. Now she was pressed against him like nothing had changed.I didn’t say a word. Just patted Asher’s shoulder. “Let’s go

Christina“Hunter…” I shouted. But I couldn't even see any movement in the water. We came so far that I could hardly see any other waterjet around.“Hunter.. Stop fucking joking..” My scream tore through the air. He vanished beneath the waves.Panic gripped me. Even if I didn’t love him, I couldn’t stand the thought of him drowning.My blood ran cold.I didn’t want him to die.I clenched my fist, my nails digging my palm. What if he really drowned himself.Lately, I had seen him doing the things he never did. I had no other option than jumping into the sea.I dove in after him, cutting through the cold water. “Hunter! Hunter!”Moments later, he burst from the surface. He laughed loudly.My blood boiled to see him laughing.“You said you hate me. Then what was that? You were scared as hell.”“I hate you even more,” I gritted out. “You are the worst person I have ever seen.”His hands framed my face. Forehead pressed against mine. “Why won’t you accept it, Chris? You still love me. You

ChristinaHis smirk grew. “She told me to have Alina get some stuff. But I broke my engagement. So I got it myself. For you.”There was a satisfactory grin on his face that I was wearing something he bought.but wait.. he broke his engagement? Is that true? Why was I even caring?I waved my hand. “Fuck off.” I wanted to rip the clothes off immediately.“I am not going to wear it..” I said and turned away. He gripped my elbow and pulled me.“Why? Because I bought this?” His hands moved over the cups of my bra and my body shivered.“Don’t you always like me buying your bra and thongs? You even asked me to wear you with my hands.”He said, his fingers rolled around my nipples.Before I could even respond to him, my nipples hardened.Fuck.They stood straight inside my bra. Wild rosebuds behind the thin fabric of the bra were tightened.I was scared. Too scared.My hands pressed against his chest and I shoved him away.“You are irritating me, Hunter..” I shouted.My hands folded my hands

“Bye, baby…” Aria waved to Annika, who waved back with a bright smile. Aria dropped Annika to her school and headed for her office. Annika walked back to her classroom and attended her class. When the mid-school bell rang, Annika rushed out of her class excitedly. Holding her tiffin bag in her hand, she didn’t care if she fell in her way.She wasn’t alone—Hope came running out of his classroom too.“Hope!” Annika shouted, spotting him.“Annie!” Hope called back, his face lighting up.The two hugged tightly, as if they hadn’t seen each other in years. They pulled out their tiffins and sat outside together, sharing their food and chatting happily.“Annie, what’s your plan? How are we going to bring Aria Auntie and Dad back together?” Hope asked Annika, his voice brimming with curiosity.The tense atmosphere at home had made it clear to both kids that something was deeply wrong between Aria and Theodore. They both were small but they had clear ideas about everything.After meeting at t

“You can’t take Annika anywhere. Especially not to him. She’s my daughter. I’m her father,” Theodore said, his voice firm but laced with a selfish undertone.He couldn’t bear the thought of Aria going to George Kingston. He knew what kind of man George was—a predator filled with lust who had ruined countless women’s lives. Theodore had seen it firsthand.Even after catching her, he didn't want to see her life ruined by that dirty man.“Annika is my daughter too, Theo. No one knows her better than I do. I will keep her safe no matter what.” Aria retorted. She couldn’t even imagine living without Annika. If there was one person who mattered most in her life, it was her daughter. “Wasn’t one man’s love enough for you?” Theodore asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm. Obviously it was something else, Theodore was much better than George in everything. Looks, money, power. “Is there something that I couldn’t give what your body wanted?”Aria’s brows shot up. She had seen him in the bar’

“Maybe you and Daddy forgot,” Annika said, her voice heavy with disappointment.Outside, children stood holding balloons, looking as if they’d just returned from the amusement park. Aria realised Annika just remembered it now.“Sorry, darling,” Aria said, immediately pulling Annika into a tight hug. “I promise I’ll take you to the amusement park tomorrow. We will have so much fun.”Aria made the promise, and Annika’s face lit up with joy.“Promise, Mommy?” Annika asked, her eyes wide with hope.Aria nodded firmly. A week had passed since Aria left the mansion. Theodore had thrown himself into his case, or rather, he wanted to stay busy—anything to escape the painful memories of Aria.He could never have imagined, even in his worst nightmares, that Aria would leave him the way she did. She vanished like an air. Her traces left nowhere around him.He parked his car at the mansion’s entrance and stepped inside.Despite his reluctance, he had to return. Aria’s presence may have vanished

Theodore opened the cupboard and froze, shocked.Aria’s wardrobe was completely empty. Her clothes, her makeup, even her guitar—everything was gone. But there was something inside the little drawer. He opened it. He was stunned when he saw the greeting cards, and gifts that he gave her on valentines day every year. Even the jewelry he brought her. Everything was there, intact.“Where did she go?” Theodore asked, his voice trembling. His heart breaks to see her taking away every trace of her from his life.Amanda, realizing Theodore was clueless about Aria’s whereabouts, seized the moment. She could tell from his disheveled state that he’d been heavily drunk last night. Theodore probably remembers nothing from last evening.“Where else? With her boyfriend. She left with that man we caught her sleeping with,” Amanda said coldly.She was lying without hesitation, her confidence so convincing that Theodore couldn’t help but believe it was the truth.“Did Aria say this?” Theodore asked,

She felt a little weird, because she knew what it was. Her mother used to stand like this to lure the men entering the secret room. Probably a man would pick one of the call girls and use that room for a night.Aria, clutching the memory chip tightly, rushed toward the private room. The door was already ajar.As she reached the doorway, she froze. Her hands gripped her black skirt tightly. The sight before her was enough to shake her entire world.Theodore stood there, shirtless, with a call girl kneeling in front of him. Her face closer to his hips. . Aria’s heart stopped. Even though she couldn’t see her face. She knew what that girl was doingIt looked like the girl was giving Theodore a blowjob, his hand gripping her head.His belt, which she had gifted him once, was already unbuckled and lying on the floor. His shirt was thrown on the corner.The secret room was strictly used for sex inside bars. Aria was not a small baby who couldn’t get it. The noise from the bar drowned out

Theodore stormed into the private room and pushed the girl onto the bed. His fingers fumbled as he started unbuttoning his shirt, rage coursing through him. His mind was stuck on a loop, replaying the same agonizing moment like a broken record—Aria with George Kingston, the most painful sight he’d ever witnessed.He wasn’t even looking at the girl on the bed. The only image appeared to his eyes was Aria's face.“Mr. Windsor…” the girl purred in a seductive tone, her voice dripping with intent. Her hands slid over his chest.Theodore’s nostrils flared, his anger boiling over.“If you can do this, why can’t I? You betrayed me, Aria. I’ll do the same… If it’s so easy for you.. For me too..” he muttered bitterly, his words slurring with alcohol and pain.He ripped open his shirt, the buttons coming undone in one swift motion.His chiseled six-pack abs gleamed under the dim red lights, his lean, muscular body radiating a raw, dangerous allure, tinged with the sharp scent of alcohol.Theod
