Chapter 81: Lines Drawn

The wheels of the private jet screeched lightly as the aircraft touched down on the tarmac of the secluded runway in Los Angeles. Liam Hemsworth leaned back in his seat, staring out the window, jaw tight. He hadn’t spoken a word since takeoff, preferring the silence to the buzz of his phone or idle conversation.

Beside him, Aria kept stealing glances at him, wearing a fake serene smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. She adjusted her sunglasses as the jet taxied to a stop, then looked at him expectantly.

He didn’t look her way. Didn’t speak. Didn’t acknowledge her presence.

When the cabin door opened and the stairway unfolded, Liam stood, grabbed his overnight bag, and walked toward the exit.

Aria rose quickly and followed, her heels clacking confidently. “Liam,” she called, her voice light, almost sweet. “Aren’t you going to say something?”

He paused at the top of the stairs, slowly turning to face her. His eyes were cold.

“What are you doing here, Aria?”

    Chapter 83 — Unspoken Things“Don’t you dare smile like that, Reese,” Chelsea narrowed her eyes at her friend, who was practically glowing after hanging up her phone. “That was Gerald, wasn’t it?”Reese tried to hide her grin, but failed miserably. She flopped back on the couch dramatically, hugging a pillow. “You’re so nosy.”Chelsea raised a brow, then leaned forward. “It’s not being nosy when I’m your best friend and you're clearly suppressing a blush.”“I’m not blushing!”“You are definitely blushing.”Reese giggled. “Okay, maybe just a little. He said he misses me. And—” she paused, hugging the pillow tighter, “he’s coming back in two days instead of three.”Chelsea gasped, mock-offended. “Look at you, counting days now? I swear, love has made you weak.”“Jealous?”“Of course I am,” Chelsea scoffed playfully. “I’ve been stuck in romantic limbo while you get butterflies and earlier-than-expected returns.”Reese sat up straighter. “Romantic limbo, huh? You mean Liam?”Chelsea opene

    Chapter 82 – Blood Ties and Betrayals Liam stepped out of the black SUV, his shoes crunching softly against the gravel of the long driveway. His eyes traced the familiar contours of the mansion,the stone columns, the glass windows, the vine-covered balcony. It hadn't changed. The place where he had once laughed with his parents, played in the garden, celebrated birthdays… it now stood cold and haunted by secrets.He drew a deep breath, his jaw tightening. He walked up the steps and pushed open the front door.Inside, the air was too still. Waiting.Adams stood by the fireplace, his arms crossed over his chest. Their mother, Marina, sat composed but tense on the leather settee, a glass of wine untouched in her hand. Adams' wife, Sandra, hovered nearby, arms folded tightly.It was as if they had been expecting him.Liam’s voice cut through the silence. “I just want to see my father. Then I’ll head to my room. I believe I still have one in this house.”Adams stepped forward, blocking hi

    Chapter 80: Breaking PointAdams Hemsworth sat behind his mahogany desk, fingers pressed into his temples, the screen in front of him displaying red numbers and a slowly plummeting stock chart. He didn’t need the charts to tell him what he already knew—things weren’t looking good.The door creaked open, and his mother, Marina, entered, elegant as always, dressed in a deep violet suit and dripping with quiet power.He barely looked up. “If you’re here to remind me that I’ve messed up, save it. I’m not in the mood.”“I’m not here to remind you of anything,” she replied smoothly, shutting the door behind her. “I came because I received a call. Liam is coming.”Adams sat upright immediately, eyes narrowing. “What?”“You heard me,” Marina said, walking closer, her heels clicking softly against the marble. “Liam is returning. He’ll be in the country today or tomorrow.”Adams clenched his jaw. “How do you know that?”She gave him a cryptic smile. “I have my ways.”Adams stood from his chair

    Chapter 79: Shadows and SurprisesAria’s fingers trembled slightly as she slid her suitcase toward the closet. Her bedroom was already scattered with shopping bags, silk scarves, designer shoes, and new perfume bottles. She had spent the last hour going through every outfit in her wardrobe, choosing what best represented confidence, charm, and seduction—everything Liam once loved.Her phone buzzed, and she snatched it from the bed.Valerie: Flight is booked. JFK to Los Angeles. 8:15 AM. American Airlines. Seat 6A is Liam. I placed you in 6B. I’ll text you your boarding pass now.Aria’s lips curled upward in a slow, satisfied smile. She quickly typed her response:Aria: You’re the best, Valerie. I owe you big time.Her phone dinged again—Valerie had sent the boarding pass and flight details.Just then, her bedroom door creaked open. Her father, Charles Whitmore, a man with an eternally furrowed brow and a businesslike air, stepped inside, holding a half-empty glass of scotch.“You look

    Chapter 78: A Woman’s Instinct The sound of heels clicking against marble echoed through the hallway as Chelsea and Liam exited the office hand in hand. Their fingers were tightly entwined, and the soft smile on Liam’s lips said it all,he wasn’t just leaving work, he was leaving with the woman who currently held his heart. As they approached the elevator, Chelsea pressed the button and leaned slightly into his arm, stealing a glance at him. He looked relaxed for once—something rare since his return. She smiled to herself, savoring the small victory of having his attention, even for a few hours. But the peace shattered when Valerie’s sharp voice rang through the corridor. “Mr. Hemsworth!” she called, jogging toward them in her nude heels, a thick manila file in her hand. “I have some documents that urgently require your signature.” Liam turned slightly, his expression slipping into one of impatience. “Valerie, not now. I need to leave. You can handle it tomorrow.” She steppe
