Chapter: Caught in his armsEthan’s POV.The room went dead silent after the call dropped.Aria stood speechless, hands pressed to her mouth as she gasped for air.Andrea didn’t just watch his mother trying to humiliate her… he had planned everything and his mother was to execute it.Moria was still pinned to the ground by some men in black suits.Sweat and chills snaked all over her body as if she had seen a ghost.Ethan hadn’t breathed a word… his eyes didn’t leave Moria for a second.The air in the room became too thin to contain what Moria and Andrea’s assistant had just spilled on the phone.If Moria has known that she was just a chess piece in this game of power…? What would’ve been the outcome?Her mind drifted to how she had laughed earlier and grinned her teeth as she confessed what she has been up to over the years.Aria forcefully dragged her feet toward where Moria was held.She went over her knees… on a shoulder level with Moria.Her eyes locked in her… cold and unreadable.Ethan didn’t try to stop

Chapter: Tricks on youAria’s POV.“Who the hell are you…! Let me go!” Aria’s voice was low and faint… it could barely be heard.She blindfoldedly stretched her hand, searching through the air to grab something.But to no avail… the men were muscular than they looked.“You’re such a tough bitch…” one of them spat, pulling her forward.Aria’s heart pumped so hard… it slammed her rib cage.“Hahaha… she’s pretty too,” another said as they pushed her into a white van and drove off.******“You sure have lots of nerves…” Ethan said as he watched them from afar, gaze icy.Ethan had planned to give Aria a surprise that evening after work…He drove behind as soon as she stepped out of the company.If he wasn’t interrupted by some business call, he would have caught up with her.Ethan watched as the whole scene unfold, yet didn’t make a move.He just stood there… jaws clenched, eyes promising danger.Ethan pulled his phone and dialled for his assistant, Marco.“I want you to track down every white van in this city…

Chapter: The devil you don’t know.Third person’s POV.Aria didn’t just smirk at the message Lucia had sent earlier… she had muttered words in an expression Ethan had never seen before. Her hands pushed the shopping cart slowly, she almost bumped into a shelf.Ethan quickly reached his hands forward and grabbed the cart handle.“Are you… okay?” He asked, eyes never leaving hers. Aria’s legs jolted backward… as if she felt a sharp pain in them.His voice snapped her back to reality… she let out a deep breath.“I’m okay… maybe my body needs some rest… I can’t believe I lost it…” she whispered.Ethan didn’t push further… he had just experienced how her lips had curled a few seconds ago… how her eyes had darkened, lips spitting venom.She had quietly locked her phone and pretended as if something hadn't cracked inside of her. Aria’s expression went too calm… unlike her, she would bang a door, bend her head in tears… clutched her hands on her chest.“So this is who you really are…?” She murmured softly.Ethan stood stunn

Chapter: Moves in the shadows.Third person’s POV.Evening in the hospital had always been chaotic as doctors and nurses ran around treating and monitoring patients.It had always been like this since the end of time… but not in Joey’s ward.The temperature in the room seemed quieter than it should.Joey sat on his bed… holding a file and tablet on his hands.The expression on his face says otherwise… it was unreadable.His hands stiffened around the files as he read through them.“I should’ve seen this coming…” he whispered. His assistant, Vincent sat on the couch across from him, legs crossed.“The company is almost at the verge of bankruptcy… something needs to be done, fast…” Vincent said.Joey kept silent… he didn’t say anything… not when his head looked like it was smashed on a rock… His breath hitched… all his years of labor and suffering was going down the drain… and he happened to be the reason why…If he hadn’t let the snake into the house, maybe things wouldn’t have gone downhill.“How’s the board resp

Chapter: You went too extremeAria’s POV.The living room was cold… too cold for the storm rumbling in Aria’s head.She sat like her life would be over soon, as if she was waiting for death or something else…The confession she had received from the very doctor who took care of her mother’s health years back, had her bones chilling.Aria never saw that coming… Everything seemed easy at first, it seemed harmless, but it never was.She thought Gwen was just a greedy, selfish, and arrogant person who would do anything for power and wealth.But she was wrong all along… Gwen was the green snake in sheep’s clothing.She wasn’t just a snake, she had fangs… she was more than a home wrecker… she was the reason Aria had stayed motherless for years.Aria pressed her hands to her chest, struggling to breathe as the words kept replaying in her head.“Your mother didn’t just die from heartbreak…” the doctor said.His words dropped slowly… like a bombshell.He couldn’t lift his face to hers… he wouldn’t dare.“She was killed.”T

Chapter: Bitter, truth, and acceptance.Aria’s POV. The Rossi company still boomed with noises and rumors all over the city.Andrea hadn’t been able to get his company back to its normal standard since the video was released on the internet.All his plans to get access to Luca and Laura, thinking it would help him win Aria back into his control failed.The board still threatened to give his seat to someone else if he doesn’t make things right before the end of the year.“You have till the end of the year to restore the company to its standard… or we’ll have someone capable replace you.”Andrea hadn’t winked an eye since then… he didn’t want someone else to take over what he had spent years building.And not when his family members were like wolves in a cage waiting for the right time to attack. “The sales aren’t steady yet… we have to pull in our best, sir.” A worker said.Andrea stood beside his chair, hands pressed on his ceramic table.His jaw clenched hard, eyes sharp. “Is this the best you’ve got!? Uhh?” He pushed a
