“I'll make you crave me. I'll make you forget you ever loved him.” Aria Lee had always loved Mason, the charming, unreachable boy who never once looked her way. Quiet, sick, and fading, she only wanted one thing before time ran out: to feel wanted. One night, in a moment of desperation, she gave herself to a man she thought was Mason. But she was wrong. But what happens when love turns possessive? When desire turns into obsession? When the man she ends up craving is not the brother she thought she loved… but the one she should have stayed far away from? She wanted love. She got secrets. And one of them is about to destroy her. One house. Three brothers. One unforgettable night. Will she survive the truth when it finally comes out?
view moreAria’s POVI yanked myself out of Mason’s grip, my pulse hammering so loudly I could barely hear myself breathe. It felt like every nerve in my body was screaming at me to run.“I’ll go with Jim instead,” I whispered, my throat tight. My eyes refused to meet Mason’s.His hand caught my wrist before I could move, warm and firm, like he could anchor me in place if he wanted. “What? Are you serious right now?” His brows drew together, a sharp crease between them. Those piercing blue eyes, always so damn intense, flickered with something unreadable. Anger. Confusion. Maybe even hurt. “You don’t even know him that well. You’re acting… weird. Aria, what’s going on?”I tugged at my wrist, desperate to be free. “Nothing! I said I’m leaving!” My voice cracked, betraying me, but I didn’t care.His fingers loosened just enough for me to wrench myself away. I stormed off toward Jim, refusing to glance back, though I could feel Mason’s stare drilling into my back like a burn.Jim didn’t say a word
Aria “You’re sweating so much. Should I put the glass down?” he asked, his tone casual but his eyes glued to me, one hand on the wheel, the other lazily holding the glass.My pulse jumped. My palms were slick, my chest tight, and every breath felt like it scraped against my throat.“No! Just drive!” I snapped, sharper than I intended. My voice cracked at the edges, betraying nerves I couldn’t hide. I refused to look at him. God, I couldn’t. If I looked, really looked, at his face, I was afraid I’d see something that tied him to that night. That night I was trying so hard to bury, to erase.I squeezed my eyes shut, gripping my knees with both hands. It was just a one-night stand. Nothing more. Forget it. Forget him.The car lurched suddenly to a halt. My body jerked forward, a gasp tearing from my lips.My heart stopped.I turned slowly, dread curling inside me. He leaned closer. Too close. His warmth pressed into my space, his arm brushing mine, the faint scent of his cologne, sharp,
AriaCould he be the one I had a one-night stand with?The thought struck me so violently that my whole body shook. My palms dampened, my stomach churned, and my heart pounded so loudly it drowned out everything else. Before I could untangle the mess in my head, my mom barged back into my room, her hand smacking my arm to jolt me back into reality.“I said wear this and get ready!” she snapped, shoving a dress into my hands. “Pack up your things too. We’ll be moving right after the wedding. We’re moving to Citrar City.”Her voice was sharp, final, like I didn’t even get a say.I blinked at her, stunned. “Who tells their daughter about their marriage the same day?” I muttered under my breath, my throat raw from everything piling inside me.“I’m not leaving!” My voice cracked as I tightened my grip on the dress. “I have my life here. My friends. Mason…” My chest ached just saying his name. “I can’t leave him.”My mom’s eyes narrowed, her tone hardening. “Just get ready now!” she yelled,
Aria“Who are you?”The words cut through me like a blade, muffled beneath his mask but still sharp enough to make my legs nearly give out. My back pressed against the wall, his hand locking me there. His breath was warm, too close, too dangerous.My stomach twisted. Oh God. He knew. He knew it wasn’t Bianca. My lips trembled, my mind racing so fast I thought I might faint. What do I say? What excuse could possibly save me now?Panic hijacked me. Without thinking, my knee jerked upward, slamming into his groin.“Ouch!” His body crumpled forward, his hands abandoning the wall to clutch himself in pain.I didn’t wait. The moment his grip loosened, I bolted. My heart pounded so violently I thought it might rip out of my chest. I tore through the door, down the corridor, into the night air, not even caring who saw me. My feet carried me like a thief fleeing the scene of a crime.By the time I stumbled into my room, I collapsed against the door, gasping. My whole body trembled, my hands sh
Aria“Are you ready to get freaky?”His voice slipped through the mask, distorted and rough, a strange mix of teasing and command.My chest tightened. “Yes,” I whispered, my breath shaky, my lips trembling against the mask.You might think I’m insane, and maybe I am. Who else would sneak into a masked club just to trick their best friend into a one-night stand? Who else would gamble their heart like this? But desperation has a way of making people reckless.Because here’s my truth: I’ve always had a crush on Mason. Since we were kids, since the first time he smiled at me like I mattered, even if he never truly saw me the way I saw him. But I don’t have time anymore. My body has been betraying me for years. Weeks ago, the doctor told me I had less than six months left. Six months before the illness finally takes me.And I refuse to die untouched. I refuse to leave this world without knowing what it feels like to be wanted, to be held, even if it’s all a lie.That’s why I’m here, hidden
