Chapter: Chapter FiveSomething Is Changing Dave drove away from the restaurant only after Aria and Kelvin left. But the whole drive home was not a peaceful one.“Could he be the reason why she comes home late? What made her change so much?” He tightened his grip on the steering wheel, struggling to figure it out.But why did it bother him? The question followed him into the mansion."Brother, you're home. Should I ask the kitchen to serve you?" Lilly asked."I'm not hungry." He walked upstairs without another word."What happened to him?" Her gaze followed him upstairs. The next morning, Aria was already leaving when Dave came downstairs."Good morning." Aria greeted him without giving him a look, but she noticed something was off in his voice."Morning."Before Dave could say another word, she picked up her bag."I'll be leaving now." Dave looked at the clock."You leave this early every day?" Aria looked surprised by the question. He had never asked or been concerned about her whereabouts."I have wor

Chapter: Chapter FourThe Distance Between ThemAria quickly bent down, picked up the file, and left the office before Dave saw her.“Give this file to your boss,” Aria handed the file to Dave's assistant, her hands trembling. “But, ma’ma.” Before the assistant could finish her sentence, Aria had already reached the exit door.“I shouldn’t have come in the first place.” Those words constantly echo in her thoughts.Dave's eyes still fixed on the door, he felt that someone was standing there. He quickly recovers and untangles himself from Bella’s hug. “I’m sorry, I'm really sorry.” Bella immediately stepped away from Dave and adjusted her dress. A satisfying smile appeared on her lipsAria did not return home immediately after leaving Liam Group.She walked aimlessly through the street. The scene she saw in that office refused to leave her mind. “Bella had only stumbled, and Dave acted out of humanity, nothing else.” Aria was lost in her thoughts, her hands clutching tightly to her bag, but for a brief mom

Chapter: Chapter ThreeThe Place That Belongs To HerThe atmosphere became intense for Aria and Dave. His gaze moved straight to Aria; for a second, their eyes met, but Aria quickly looked away.Bella noticed the way Dave looked at Aria; she clutched her finger tightly, causing her palms to turn red, "It's been a while, Dave." She leaned closer, her breath brushing against his ear.“Yeah,” he stepped back.Bella seemed surprised by his cold reaction. Lilly also looked confused by her brother's behavior towards Bella; she tried stepping in, but her mother held her hands to stop.Aria kept quiet the whole time, but she couldn't stop the tiny hope that appeared on her face.“Maybe Bella's return didn't matter to him anymore.” She quickly pushed the thought of it away because she was not ready to go through it again.Dinner ended later than usual. Lilly and Bella talked endlessly about old memories.Dave barely participated in the conversation. His focus was on his food or his phone. But his eyes didn't go u

Chapter: Chapter TwoThe Woman From His PastAn hour later, Aria arrived at AVELON Group. The moment she stepped into her own world and space, she felt herself breathe easier; this was the only place she could be her real self.Kelvin was already waiting inside the conference room. He looked up in surprise when he saw her."Why did you come early?" looking at his wristwatch.“I didn't want to stay home.” Aria forced a smile.His expression softened immediately. He immediately noticed she was not in her best mood.Aria spent the rest of the morning inside her office trying to focus on work.Unfortunately, her mind refused to listen. That name kept repeating in her head.She hated herself for allowing it to affect her this much. It had been two years. But the mention of Bella was enough to shake the little confidence she had built. Maybe because a part of her is still strapped in the secret hallway in college with the echoes of those unforgettable promises Bella and Dave made to each other, which she was

Chapter: Chapter oneThe Wife He Neglected Aria checked the time again: eleven o'clock.The food on the dining table had already gone cold; the candles she had carefully arranged with intentionality were burning lower and lower with every passing minute. Still, she waited.“Maybe he didn’t see my message, or maybe there was an emergency meeting; probably he was on his way home,” she blinked repeatedly, “trying to stop tears from falling.”She lowered her eyes and stared at the small anniversary gift beside her plate.Two years!Two years of being Mrs Liam, lived under the same roof, had conversations that never lasted for five minutes. And yet, it felt as though she was still a stranger in his life.The sound of footsteps pulled her out of her thoughts.Lilly walked into the dining room, all dressed up as though she was going to a party as always. Her eyes immediately landed on Aria and the dishes lying cold on the dining table. A mocking smile appeared on her face."You are still waiting?"Aria pretende
