Luca POV

I hear her door before I see it. The soft click of the lock. Like she’s sealing herself in.

10:12am Victoria walked out of the master with that smile. 10:47am and I still haven’t moved from the kitchen. The coffee is cold. My hands are shaking.

I can’t keep doing this. Not after what she just did. Not after Aria saw her clothes on the floor.

I walk down the hall. Stop in front of Aria’s door. The wood is between us. It feels like a wall and a weapon at the same time.

“Aria.” My voice c

    Aria POVI don’t sleep.I sit on the floor until 4am with my hair tie in my hand. Mine. Even if it smells like her perfume now. At 5am I shower until the water goes cold. At 6am I braid my hair without it. At 6:55am I hear footsteps in the hall.7:02am. There’s a knock. Soft. Then the door opens before I can say anything.Victoria.She’s already dressed. Cream dress. Hair curled. Makeup perfect. Like she slept eight hours and woke up to win. She’s holding a mug. Two mugs.“Morning,” she says. Sweet. Too sweet. “I made coffee. Thought we could start the day right. You know, for the press.”I don’t move from my bed. “I’m not drinking coffee with you.”She smiles and sets both mugs on my desk anyway. “You don’t have to. It’s just… Luca asked me to check on you. He’s worried you didn’t sleep.”He didn’t ask.He was in the living room all night. I heard him.I stay quiet.She walks around my room like she owns it. Touches the frame on my desk. My mom. Moves it half an inch to the left. “Yo

    Aria POVI told myself I wasn’t going to go in there. I told myself a hundred times on the walk down the hall. Don’t look. Don’t stop. Don’t do this to yourself.But the door was open. And the light was on. And that black hair tie was sitting on the nightstand like a dare.11:14pm. The house is quiet. Victoria went upstairs an hour ago. Luca is in the living room. I heard the TV. Low. He’s not sleeping.I shouldn’t be here. This is their room now. That’s what she said. _Our room._My hand shakes when I push the door wider.It smells different. Her perfume. Heavy. Sweet. Overpowering my mom’s candles. Overpowering everything. The bed is made. Too neat. Hospital corners. Like no one’s slept in it yet. Like they’re waiting for the first night to mean something.I don’t look at the bed. I look at the nightstand.It’s there. Black. Elastic. Frayed on one end. _Mine._Not his. Mine.The one I used for my braids.The one Luca found on my bathroom counter the day I left Few days ago The one

    Aria POVThe table is too long. That’s the first thing I notice. Eight chairs. Only three of us. And the space between us feels like miles.7:30pm. Dinner. Victoria set it herself. Candles. White plates. Wine I didn’t ask for. She’s at the head of the table. Of course she is. Cream dress. Hair perfect. Like this is a photoshoot and not a war.Luca is on her right. He hasn’t looked at me once. His jaw is tight. His hand is in a fist under the table. I bet he still has the hair tie in it. I’m across from him. At the other end. Like I’m a guest in my own house.“Food’s getting cold,” Victoria says. Bright. She gestures to the plates. Pasta. Salad. Bread. All the things my mom used to make. I don’t pick up my fork.“Aria,” Victoria says. My name in her mouth sounds wrong. “I made this for you. I thought... family dinner, right? We should start somewhere.” Family. That word again.Luca finally moves. He reaches for the water. Drinks. Sets it down too hard. Still no eye contact.“Did you li

I know you hate me right now.” Pause. “I just need five minutes. Please.”Still nothing. But I hear it. The shift of weight. She’s on the other side. She’s listening.“Look,” I say. “What happened this morning... it’s not what you think.” God, that sounds stupid. What else could it be?“I’m trying to keep you safe,” I say. The words rush out. “Victoria’s dad threatened you. At the tower. He said if I didn

    Victoria POVI don’t knock. That’s the first rule of taking something. You don’t ask. You walk in like you already own it.The hallway is quiet. Aria’s door is still closed. Good. Let her sit in there and bleed quietly.Luca is in the kitchen. He’s standing at the counter with a mug in his hand but he hasn’t drank it. Staring at the window. Like if he looks hard enough, he can see a way out of this. “Morning,” I say. Bright. Casual. He turns. He doesn’t answer.I walk past him. Heel clicks on the tile. Deliberate. I stop at the hallway that leads to the bedrooms. “I’m going to put our things in the master,” I say over my shoulder. “Our things.” Not _my_ things. _Our_.His jaw ticks. “That’s not—” “What?” I cut in. I turn back to him. Smile. “That’s not your room? It’s your house, Luca. And I’m your wife.” I say _wife_ slow. Like I’m tasting it.He doesn’t argue. Because he can’t. Because the security team told us to be seen together. Because if he fights me now, Aria gets hurt. I know

    Aria POVThe door closes. I don’t hear it. Not really. It’s like the sound happens somewhere far away, underwater.My room. My bed. My hoodie. His hoodie. I’m still wearing it. I should take it off. I can’t make my arms move.9:31am. He walked in with her hand in his. 9:35am. She kissed his cheek. And he let her._Is it real?_ _Of course it’s real._My phone is on the nightstand. It’s buzzing. Marco. Nico. Probably all of them. _are you okay_ _come with us_ _don’t stay there_ I don’t pick it up.The walls feel too close. The air feels too thin. I sit on the edge of the bed because if I don’t, I’ll fall.Two days ago he was here. In this room. He’d pulled me into him and said _I’m not letting anyone hurt you._ He’d taken off this hoodie and given it to me when I was cold. He’d looked at me like I was the only thing in the room.Today he looked at me like I was a stranger. And then he said nothing.That’s what hurts. Not the kiss. Not her arm in his. The nothing. He chose silence. He ch
