ARIELLA

Before I could finish, he kissed me. Harder this time. Hungrier.

He kissed me like he was trying to shut me up. Like he couldn’t handle the words but still needed to feel them through me, in me. It wasn’t gentle anymore. It wasn’t about comfort.

It was desperate. Like we were both confused and hurting and searching for answers we didn’t know how to ask for.

But somehow, even through the chaos, we found each other again. Right there. Right in that kiss.

Before I could make up my mind about what I was going to do, Asher jerked me against him again and claimed my mouth in a fierce kiss that made me gasp, then tense. His tongue slipped between my lips, and without wanting to, I opened up for him, parted my lips, and wrestled his tongue with mine. My hands found their way into his hair, tugging, raking, wanting him closer and at the same time wanting to shove him away. Asher gripped my butt and hoisted me up. My legs wound themselves around his waist, but our lips never parted. My

    ARIELLAHe shifted a little, tightening his arm around me until I was tucked perfectly against him. Then he said quietly, “You know, it’s not that I don’t want you.”I smiled faintly against his chest. “I know.”“It’s just… I need to do this right,” he continued, his fingers tracing lazy circles on my shoulder. “We’ve both been through too much to rush into something just because it feels good in the moment.”I lifted my head a little, just enough to see his face. “You think it would ruin what we have?”“No,” he said, his gaze steady. “I think it would make me forget what I’m trying to protect. I want you to trust that this—” he brushed his thumb across my cheek “—isn’t temporary. That when I finally make love to you, it won’t be about trying to forget or to prove something. It’ll be because everything else is finally right.”My throat tightened, and I didn’t know what to say. I just nodded, my fingers curling into his shirt.“I get it,” I whispered. “You don’t have to explain. I und

    ARIELLALuca nodded slowly. Maria slipped beside me, pressing a handkerchief into my palm.“Here,” she said.I dabbed my eyes.“Don’t worry, the makeup’s waterproof,” Maria added with a little smile. “You can cry all you want.”That actually made me laugh, a small shaky laugh that broke the tension for a second. But thinking about my dad still hurts. He should have been here.Then Luca said, “Your mom was still mad at you. Asher didn’t know whether to bring her or not. In the end, he decided not to. But if you change your mind, I have a plane ready to bring her here.”I thought about my mother, about how she’d always been against me and Asher, how she always found something to nag about. I didn’t want her to ruin such a beautiful day.“Maybe it’s just better she continues thinking I’m dead,” I said quietly. “Maybe a few weeks, a few months, a few years later, I’ll change my mind. But for now, I just want to be happy.”I told myself the only thing I truly regretted was my dad. I never

    ARIELLAMy heart pounded. “Asher…”“Don’t say no,” he said gently, his thumb tracing the corner of my mouth. “You said you always dreamed we’d have a home, the three of us. This, this is how we start it. No more waiting. No more running. Just us.”I covered my mouth, laughing and crying at the same time. “You’re serious?”“Dead serious,” he murmured. “You could say I’ve been planning this since the day I found you again. You’ve said yes to me a thousand times without words. I just need you to say it once out loud.”I looked at him, at the man who’d been through fire and still held me like I was made of something worth saving. And suddenly, there was no doubt left in me.“Yes,” I said softly. “Let’s get married tonight.”His smile broke wide this time, unguarded and real. He pulled me in, kissed my forehead, and whispered,“Then it’s settled. Tonight, you become my wife.”The moment the word yes left my mouth, Asher was already moving. He pulled out his phone, started firing off comman

    ARIELLA“I’m sorry. I know how much you loved Dominic,” I say, taking his hand.“It’s fine,” he says. “.... I know it's not fine, but it’s not like there’s anything I can do.”“Yeah, I know,” I murmur, “but I can see it still hurts you, and it pains me to see you like this, to watch you go through this. I want you to know that I wasn’t close to Dominic. I didn’t know him. But if you ever need someone to talk to, I’m here.”“Thanks,” he says quietly. His thumb brushes over my knuckles.“The only thing that I keep thinking about…” His voice falters, then steadies. “I loved him enough to have let him be with Dinara....even forever, if he had chosen to. Even if he had wanted to be with her and start q family, maybe I could have found a way for the two of them to be together, if it was real. But he knew Dinara was playing him. I gave him a chance to save himself…”I hold his hand tighter. “If there’s any part of you that feels guilty for his actions, I just want you to know that he was an

    ARIELLAI should have known the moment the plane began to descend, the ocean below was too familiar, the curve of the coastline too.The island.The same island Asher had taken me to before.The one where he had built that sprawling, luxurious hotel that rose out of the cliffs like a secret only the sea could keep.And just like last time, it was breathtaking. As we drove up the long, winding path toward the hotel, the salty breeze swept through the open windows, and I caught myself staring out, lost in the beauty of my surroundings.“You still remember this place?” Asher asked, glancing at me as the car slowed near the entrance.“Yeah,” I said softly, smiling faintly. “But I thought it was already taking in guests.... It looks deserted.”He smirked. “No, it’s not deserted. I just reserved it for a few days while we’re here.”“A few days?” I turned to him, surprised.He groaned lightly. “Ah, I ruined the surprise, didn’t I?”“What surprise?” I asked, laughing.“Well,” he said, his voi
