After Divorce, I became the untouchable Tycoon's sweetheart. Chapter Sixty-Eight
Lydia's POV.“Hey, sunshine.”I slowly roused from my sleep, my eyes fluttering open at the sound of Aaron's voice. I'd been sleeping a lot lately, courtesy of the pills I'd had to take since I returned from the hospital.The smell of fried eggs and sausage hit my nose instantly and pulled me completely up to consciousness.Aaron had a tray of breakfast in his hands, an awfully small apron hanging down his neck as he flashed me a boyish grin.“What's happening?” I asked in surprise.“Breakfast in bed. I figured I'd treat you since it's your first day back at work after a while,” he explained.“You cooked?” I asked, genuinely surprised. “Aaron Knight can cook. Okay.”“Geez. I'm not that much of a terrible person, am I? Besides, you'd have to actually try it to tell whether or not I can cook. So, come on. Be my judge,” he smiled.Aaron waited patiently for me to sit up in bed before placing the tray gently on my legs. He unconsciously danced from one foot to the other as he watched me i

Donald's POV.I drove back home, my vision mostly clouded by anger. “Hey, Papi,” Nora roared as I walked into the bedroom. I ignored her and went over to the bathroom. My head felt so hot I could almost imagine it exploding on my neck. I slipped out of my clothes and stepped into the shower. Moments later, I heard Nora's footsteps as she walked into the bathroom and climbed into the shower behind me. She put her arms around me and began working her hands down towards my body.“Now's not the time,” I snapped and hit the shower off before climbing out.She stood rooted in surprise. “Okay. Rude. Why are you acting funny now?” She walked after me into the bedroom.I snapped my head in her direction, my eyes going red with rage. “Funny?” I echoed, my voice low and poisonous as I slowly closed the gap between us. “You find this funny? Have you even seen the bloody news? Do you know what's happening all over the internet?”“We'll forgive me for holding myself up in here and trying to look

Lydia's POV.“The press is ready for you, sir,” George informed Aaron who'd been pacing the room for unknown reasons. We were in his large office at the Apex high-rise office building. The place felt as large as nearly half a football field, but was drab and lifeless, covered with glass, except for the glass floor-to -ceiling windows.Aaron turned around to look at the man but he didn't acknowledge his words right away.“How's the interview going on KLOG NEWS?” Aaron asked him instead.“Reviews and comments are all over the place. The legal team is putting out everything we've got against them, sir. It'll be pointless to fight back,” George answered.“Good. As it should be,” Aaron nodded. Ever since the warehouse incident, I'd seen a side to him I'd never really noticed. He'd become more protective, vengeful to Donald for hurting me. He turned around to face me. “Are you good? Look, you don't have to do this if you're not feeling up to it.” His voice held some genuine concern as he l

Lydia's POV.I opened my eyes and the hours had run away, leaving me at the mouth of evening. Streaks of the fading light of the evening sun traveled into the room through the gaps in the window blinds in a mix of oranges and pinks and purples. Perhaps the colours were so vivid because of the medicine I'd taken. My legs felt wobbly as I dragged them down from the bed. I didn't feel as much pain as I had before taking the medicine. I scanned the room for any signs of Aaron but kept bumping into the echoes of my own thoughts. I was alone.I pushed myself off the bed and walked over to the bathroom. I let the hot water from the shower seep into my skin, traveling down my body like a soothing balm. I shut my eyes for a little too long, because images of the abduction started flashing through my head like motion pictures seemingly modified to become more grotesque.I shuddered despite the heat of the water and hit the faucet off.I walked out to find Aaron sitting on a high stool by the k

Lydia's POV The air outside the warehouse was cold. The sky had gone a darker shade of blue and the wind was slowly kicking up. It was going to rain. Somewhere in the clouds I could see the first signs of the moon announcing the arrival of the evening. I tried to distract myself from everything that'd just happened to me. But it was growing even more increasingly difficult with every passing second.Aaron had draped his jacket over my shoulders at some point and helped me into a reclining position in the passenger seat of his car. He stood just by the open passenger door, his frame blocking the light of the evening sun. His expression was a tight mask of both fury and relief.I stayed silent for a long time even after everything had died down. I felt completely empty of every bit of strength. My eyes felt like sacks of rice, heavy with every blink. The left side of my face throbbed with a hot, rhythmic ache where Donald's hand had made contact with my cheek. My arm and leg screamed w

Aaron's POV “George?” I glanced at my phone screen briefly before returning my eyes back to the road. I’d had to inform my chief of security about the development. If I was heading into a ticking time bomb it only made sense that I'd go with enough ammunition. Calling the police was out of the question because I didn't want to give them any reason to put my name on their records with a statement. That'd blow my cover instantly.“I'm sending you an address. I want you to head there with the team immediately. Lydia's in danger,” I instructed and ended the call. I plugged in the coordinates of Lydia's position into the GPS and floored the gas as soon as a map came up on the screen. I was in a race against time. I'd had to call Clara on my way out of the house and once I learned Lydia had been gone for nearly three hours, a pot of dread began boiling over in my stomach.“I hope I'm not too late,” I whispered through my teeth. I gripped the wheels so hard my knuckles grew a sick shade of

(Lydia's POV)“Fine…”He rubbed the back of his neck once, and for the first time since I'd met him, Aaron looked genuinely uncomfortable."The first time we met at the Apex event," he started, "I wanted your number badly. But with everything going on around you that night —your ex-husband, the sec

(Lydia's POV)Clara’s voice was still ringing with excitement on the phone. “What? You didn’t apply? How is that possible, ma’am?”I stared at the email, reading it over and over again as if the words would suddenly change.“I don’t know, Clara,” I whispered, still in shock. “This has to be a mista

(Lydia's POV)I don’t remember how I got to the bedroom door, only that my feet carried me there against the pain settling deep in my chest.Something inside me already knew what I might walk into, but still I opened it.Because no matter how fragile my place in this marriage had become, that room

(Lydia's POV)I stood behind the staircase like a ghost in my own home, watching my husband carry another woman in his arms as if she were made of glass.He was taking her to the hospital again for the fourth time in a week... All for an injury she inflicted on herself just to spite me.I could nev
