Dear Sir, Ex Mistress Is Back

~Aria's POV~ The sound of running water pierced through my ears, reminding me what had just transpired in this room. The air of ambiguity still lingered in the air, but more than regret, I felt guilty. Maybe because I shouldn't be here and I shouldn't be doing this? I felt disgusted with myself, yet I smiled a bitterly, pushing away every sense of disgust. I wasn't just doing this for myself, I thought. It was probably to convince myself. Perhaps I had a choice, and perhaps I did not- it was the latter. The sound from the bathroom quickly muffled in my ear as the huge screen in front of me flashed with pictures. I was stunned, staring at the two people in front of the screen. Kaius, and a woman - Sofia, the queen of the entertainment industry! I quickly increased the volume to listen to what was being said, and the more I listened, the more I felt my small heart shatter. “Sensation, Kaius Blackwood announces engagement to actress Sofia Reyes.” What was this feeling?

~Damien's POV~I pressed on the accelerator, feeling my anger bulb. I wasn't ready to return to Seattle, yet I did. I had to, all thanks to my foolish brother. I felt as though to suffocate. The air in the car was thick. My phone suddenly rang. I heard it yet I ignored it like a plague. I knew exactly who it was- my father. But how could I pick it up when I knew exactly what he wanted to say?Thunder clapped loudly in the sky, and it soon started to pour heavily.The phone rang repeatedly, as though intending to make me lose my sanity.I slowed down a little, my eyes moving to stare at the phone screen inches away from me. But when I looked up again? “Shit!” I cursed, frantically honking before slamming hard on the breaks.Bang! I still hit the person. Hopefully he or she isn't dead yet, I thought as I sucked in a breath. I slowly pushed the door open, my heart caught up in my throat as I slowly approached the person lying on the tarred road in the rain…it was a woman. Her

~Aria's POV~I sat in the car, my heart much more firm than before. I stared out the window, seeing the familiar view of Downtown Seattle. It felt like yesterday that I was in this city, striving to survive, yet I was back. Just then, the sound of my phone pierced through my ears and I picked it up, taking it to my ear. “Miss Aria is back in the country, can she come over to start designing the dress?” The familiar voice of Mrs Pierre pierced through my ears. I had met the woman back at France two years ago and we immediately hitted off. The woman returned to Seattle to be with her daughter and wanted my to design a dress for her daughter's birthday.I had almost forgotten that I had become quite a successful designer over the two years that I had left Seattle. “Yes, I will come to take Miss Avery's measurements later today. Since the birthday is in a week, I will have time to make the dress to her taste.” “Work?” Damien asked beside me and I hummed, my eyes shining.“Don't st

~Aria’s POV~ I watched as Kaius's back faded into the hallway, chains of thoughts running through my mind. “Are you done?” A voice pierced through my ears, cutting off my reverie, and I turned to see Damien waiting for me. I sighed deeply before walking over to him. All I wanted was to get out of this place. All I wanted was to never set eyes on that man again, but how could I tell Damien about it? I would be risking his safety as well. Especially now that Kaius had him in mind. Up until this day, I had never spoken about my past with Damien. I knew he wanted to ask sometimes, but refrained. I was not ready to tell him about it just yet–or maybe I was never going to tell him how I was warming some other man's bed against my own will two years ago. How would he look at me? By now my tipsiness had worn out. I gasped when Damien picked me up, heading outside. “Drive.” He said to the chauffeur, and by now my consciousness had begun to fade. I was exhausted. “You'll be
