Chapter: Chapter EightAlexander’s POVI had just returned to the penthouse and it felt too quiet, the kind of silence that precedes a storm. I had spent the last hour on the phone with three different legal teams, but my mind was in the room down the hall. I needed to apologize.I had let my cold, analytical nature build a wall between us when she needed a shield. I had treated her like a person of interest in a corporate fraud case instead of the woman I wanted to protect."Aria?" I called out, pushing open the guest room door.The bed was made, the silk sheets pulled tight. The gold jewelry I’d given her sat on the nightstand, shimmering under the lamp like a mocking reminder of everything I could buy but couldn't keep. Her phone was gone. The casual clothes she’d arrived in were gone.A cold dread, sharper than any market crash, settled in my gut. I stormed into the foyer. "Joe! Where is she?"Joe looked up from the security monitors, his face pale. "Sir, she... she took the service elevator ten minutes

Chapter: Chapter SevenAlexander’s POV The silence in the study was a living thing, heavy and cold. I didn’t look at Aria, not yet. I kept my eyes on my son."Pregnant?" I repeated, my voice like a low-frequency hum. I finally turned my gaze to the tablet on the desk."The Hayes heir," Ethan sneered, leaning against the doorframe. "Or did you think your 'sweetheart' was the only one capable of continuing the legacy? She used us, Dad. She used me to get to you, and she used Harper to get rid of me. It’s a clean sweep."I felt a soft intake of breath beside me. Aria. She looked small, her skin the color of ash. "Alexander, I... I never asked her to go there. I didn't know she was pregnant. I didn't even know she was in love with him.""Of course you'd say that," Ethan spat.I held up a single hand. The room fell silent instantly. It was a power I’d spent thirty years perfecting, the ability to command a room with a gesture."Ethan," I said, my voice dangerously calm. "You came into my home to deliver a messa

Chapter: Chapter SixAria’s POV My phone kept buzzing, I had spent the last two hours watching my reputation be dismantled by people who didn't even know my middle name.The "Gold Digger" hashtags were trending higher than the actual news."Aria, stop it." My mother’s voice was sharp as she walked into the living room, but her eyes were full of a fear she couldn't hide.She pulled the curtain back just a fraction of an inch. "They’re multiplying. There are three news vans out there now. They’re blocking the neighbor’s driveway.""They think I'm the reason Alexander is losing his empire, Mom," I said, my voice cracking. I held up the screen, showing the official statement from EF Perfumes. "They dropped Hayes Glamour. Millions of dollars, just gone. Because of a weekend in a suite with me."My mother sat beside me, her face hardening. "Aria, a man like that doesn't lose an empire over a perfume bottle. But he can lose his peace. Is this what you wanted? To be the woman the whole of New York wants to stone

Chapter: Chapter FiveAria’s Pov. I walked to to my desk, forcing my self to focus on work and ignore the call but my phone buzzed again in my hand.The same Unknown number.I stared at the screen, my chest already tight, my instincts screaming that whatever waited on the other end would not be kind. I’d been trying to focus on my computer screen, pretending emails still mattered, pretending my name wasn’t being dragged across the internet in real time.I swiped to answer.“Hello?”A sharp breath came through the line, heavy, angry.“So you finally decided to pick up.”My heart sank.“Ethan…”“How could you?” he snapped. “How could you actually do this, Aria?”I closed my eyes, my fingers tightening around the phone. “Ethan, I—”“No, don’t,” he cut in harshly. “Don’t even try to explain this. Do you have any idea what you’ve done? It’s everywhere. Instagram, blogs, group chats, business pages. You and my father. Together.”My throat felt dry. “I didn’t plan for any of this to come out like this.”“That’s

Chapter: Chapter Four Alexander’s POV.The tension in the room was suffocating, thick enough to cut through with a knife.I stood frozen near the fireplace, my gaze flicking between Aria and Ethan. The look on her face told me everything before a word was spoken, shock, guilt, confusion. Ethan’s jaw was tight, his eyes locked on her like he’d just seen a ghost.“You two know each other?” I finally asked, my voice calm but carrying.Ethan’s laugh came out dry. “Yeah, we know each other.”Aria’s throat bobbed as she swallowed hard. “I… I have to go.” She grabbed her purse, her voice trembling but polite. “I’m sorry, Mr. Alexander, I didn’t mean for this to be awkward.”“Aria” I started, but she was already walking toward the door. Her heels clicked sharply against the marble, each sound echoing like a countdown.The door closed softly, leaving behind an unbearable silence. I stared at it for a long moment before turning to my son.“What’s going on here, Ethan?” I asked, keeping my tone even, though my chest

Chapter: Chapter ThreeAria’s POV. I woke up to the sound of my phone vibrating softly against the nightstand. For a brief second, I didn’t want to move, my body felt so light, as if I had slept on clouds. But then I turned, still half tangled in my bedsheets, then I saw his name glowing across my screen.“Mr Alexander.”A small smile crept across my lips before I even opened the message.“Good morning Aria, I hope you slept as beautifully as you looked last night.”Just reading it sent those foolish flutters dancing in my stomach again. My heart betrayed me instantly beating faster than I wanted it to. I lay there, staring at his message, the memory of last night kept replaying in soft flashes: his laugh, the glint in his eyes when he smiled, the way he had listened to me as if every word I said mattered. It had been so long since someone looked at me like that, even while I was dating Ethan.I pressed the phone against my chest and sighed, smiling at nothing in particular. Maybe, just maybe, something go
