Chapter 63
Aria walked towards the bookshelf under everyone’s watch. She placed her hand under the third shelf, and after feeling around for a while, she pressed something.To everyone’s shock, especially Henry and Talia, the bookshelf was parted into two, forming a pathway.Henry looked on with wide eyes.He had been using this study room for more than twenty years, and he had actually never known that something like that actually existed.His heart thumped hard in his chest as he thought of a possibility.After the bookshelf parted, there was nothing but a plain wall. Nothing out of the ordinary could be seen.Talia clicked her tongue upon seeing that, “Aria, what exactly are you trying to do? Dad already said that the documents were not forged; he owns this property, so what is with all this drama?”Henry took a deep breath to calm his thundering heart before he spoke, “Yes, Aria, if you stop what you are doiChapter 66When they reached their destination, Aria had already calmed down. She felt her surroundings and turned to Damian, “Why do I feel like we are in the mountains?”Damian looked at her and smiled without saying anything.He parked the car and asked Aria to come out, “You will know where we are once you come out of the car. Come on.”Aria excitedly undid her seat belt and got out of the car.The moment her feet touched the ground, she was stunned. She felt as if she was standing on a padded field, and looking around, she could see nothing but trees.Aria was a lover of nature. The cool breeze embraced her skin, and she felt her mood improve.She looked at Damian and smiled widely, “How did you know that I loved places like this?”They had only known each other for such a short period, and he already knew a lot about her. Things that Mark never knew, although they had been married for three good years.Damian looked at her and said as a matter of fact, “How could I not know thin
Chapter 65“What is the matter? Do you have a lot on your mind?” Aria asked as she looked at Damian with a worried gaze.“No, I am okay. I was actually just thinking about you.”“What about me?”Damian shook his head, “It is nothing.”He looked at Aria and changed the topic, “Do you have any plans for tonight?”“No.”“Okay. I will take you somewhere.”Damian could not wait for the day to end, and the moment it struck 6 O’clock, he immediately led Aria out of the office.In the car, Aria looked at him and asked curiously, “You have been very mysterious. Can you tell me what you are up to?”“Just sit still. Actually, you might wanna sleep for a while because it might take us some time to reach there.” Damian said. He was acting all mysterious, and Aria’s curiosity was getting the better of her.But since she could pry his mouth open, she closed her eyes, but since she had slept too much in the office earlier, she could not sleep no matter what.She looked at Damian and, remembering that
Chapter 64 Damian became angry, “Ms. Monroe, are you tired and want to resign from your job?” Sienna touched her cheek, which was still burning from the slap that Aria had given her, and she did not know what to say. She let her tears fall freely, unable to defend herself. “Pack your things and get out of my sight. How dare you prevent my wife from entering her office?” Sienna’s eyes widened that she even forgot about the pain that she was feeling. When did these two get married? And when did they even start dating? She pointed at Aria, “Did you just say that she is your wife?” “Do you have any problem with that?” “I… when did you two get married?” “How is that any of your business? Just get out of my sight.” Aria curled her lips at Sienna. She always behaved like Damian’s office was her bedroom, and today, she was going to teach her a

Chapter 62Aria looked at her and questioned coldly, “Where is the ghost? Do I look like a ghost?”“No… your mother’s ghost was in our house just now. It was so scary.” The moment Talia finished talking, another hot slap landed on her face.She was stunned as she looked at Aria, “Why do you keep slapping me?”“Why should I not? If you dare say another word about my mother, then I will disfigure your face.”“You.”“Move away,” Aria commanded as she made her way to the house.“Aria, don’t go in. There is a ghost inside.”Aria did not listen to her. When she reached the living room, she saw that Vera had fainted and Henry was curled up in a corner, screaming like a maniac as his hands covered his ears.Aria’s lips twitched. Why didn’t they behave like that when they were torturing her mother in the past? Why are they pretending to be scared now?Aria cleared her throat and imitated her mother’s voice, “I have come to collect my dues, Henry. Tell me what I should do with you. Should I kil
Chapter 61After hearing the details, Talia immediately left, instructing her mother to take care of her father.When she arrived at the agreed location, Declan was already waiting with the said “client”.“You are here?”When Talia saw the old man, she almost left straight away. But remembering the condition her parents were in, she gritted her teeth and endured the discomfort in her heart.The old man looked at her and licked his lips. His eyes were almost burning with lust as he spoke to Declan, “Declan, you really have good taste. This one seems to be even sweeter than the last one.”Declan laughed as he kissed Talia on the lips, “This one is the real deal. You won’t be able to take her out of your mind once you’ve had a taste of her.”The old man, who was almost seventy years old, waved at Talia, “Come on, baby, show me what you got.”Talia almost puked after hearing the man call her baby, but she had to smile demurely.She looked at Declan, and seeing him nod at her, she walked
