Marcel's POV

I felt myself getting hard for the first time in five years. My body betrayed me, already aching for her the way it always had. Every curve of her pulled me in—her eyes that never stopped daring me, the dip of her waist, those legs that looked like they could wrap around me and never let go.

And they could.

I wanted to bend her over the table, fuck her until she forgot her own name, until her screams echoed through these walls like they belonged here.

But as much as I wanted her body, I wanted more.

I wanted her soul.

Her mind.

Her heart.

I wanted her to be my wife again.

Her lips parted, her chest rising faster. She was waiting, daring me, her pupils blown wide like she knew exactly how close I was to breaking.

And fuck, I almost did.

But she also knew I took business seriously. She knew I never played when it came to that.

“Miss Evans,” I said, voice rough as I lifted the glass of wine, dragging the words out slow, deliberately. My tongue brushed the rim before I drank

  • Divorce ?... That's Foreplay    Forty Two

    Aria’s POVWarmth.That was the first thing that pulled me from sleep again—soft, enveloping warmth that felt foreign and safe at the same time. My body was heavy, like I’d been dragged through an ocean and left to dry on the shore. My eyelids fluttered open slowly, the room coming into focus in hazy pieces.Sunlight filtered through half-drawn curtains, painting golden stripes across the hotel bed. The sheets were tangled around my legs, crisp and clean, smelling faintly of detergent and something warmer—him.I shifted slightly, my cheek brushing against the pillow. My throat was raw from crying and I didn't even want to imagine how puffy my eyes would be if I looked in a mirror. Everything from last night crashed back: the bridge, the fall that didn't really happen, his arms pulling me up, the confession that had torn out of me. I’d cried myself to sleep against his chest and he’d held me until I stopped shaking.And now…I turned my head.The bathroom door was cracked open, s

    Aria’s POV “Would you please stop screaming.” The words cut through the rush of wind and the roaring in my ears. I opened my eyes. For a second, my brain refused to process what I was seeing. I wasn’t on the rail anymore sure, but I wasn’t falling either. I was... hanging. Suspended over dark, endless water, my feet kicking uselessly at nothing. My heart slammed so hard against my ribs it hurt. I sucked in a sharp breath and almost choked on it. I slowly lifted my gaze. Blue eyes stared back at me. Not soft blue. Not bright. Dark blue—deep and cold, like water at midnight. The kind that swallowed up the light instead of reflecting it. But more than the water below me, more than the height, more than the fact that I was one weak grip away from dying—what terrified me was the smile on his face. It wasn’t cruel. It was calm. “Are you CRAZY?!” I screamed, my voice breaking as panic finally took full control. He didn’t flinch. Didn’t even tighten his grip. “Keep ye

    ARIAOne month.That’s how long it’s been since I left the hospital.I can walk now—slow, shaky, with a limp on bad days, but enough that the hospital finally agreed I could leave and “start putting things in order.”In other words, gather the three hundred and four thousand dollars I owe them.It’s cute, really. They trust me enough to leave. I don’t even trust myself anymore.The first place I went was the insurance company.Just like the head nurse said—they acted like they’d never heard of me. Not my case. Not my parents’ names. Nothing.They smiled at me like I was confused, like I’d mixed up my identity with someone else’s.So I went to the next place.The bank.~~~“Please look again,” I begged, gripping the counter so tightly my hands shook. “My parents can’t have zero dollars. It’s not possible.”The woman didn’t bother hiding her annoyance. She tapped her long nails on the desk, eyes flat, bored, already done with me.Bitch.“And I’m telling you,” she said slowly, like I

    ARIASomething is wrong.I know it.I can feel it deep in my bones, the way you feel the shift in weather before rain.But one thing is certain: I can’t stay in this hospital anymore.I can’t spend the rest of my life a cripple either.“You’ve got this, Aria.”Aiden’s voice cuts through my thoughts. He’s at the other end of the mat with his arms wide open, like he’s ready to catch me even if I fly at him full speed—except right now, two steps feel like a marathon.The first time I managed those two steps, he was so proud I cried like a baby.My fingers tighten on the parallel bars until my knuckles burn. My legs ache, sharp and deep, like they’re protesting every second I try to use them.“Let go of the bars,” he coaxes. “Even if you hop, I’ll catch you. I promise.”I shake my head. Too scared to even breathe properly.I hate this.No—I fucking hate this.I used to be a runner. I used to feel the earth fly beneath my feet. Now every step feels like I’m seven months old, wobbling throu

    Two months laterAria’s POV“As I said before, we would call child services, but by the time you check out you’ll already be eighteen… of legal age… so it would be pointless.”The doctor’s voice felt far away, like he was speaking through water.Child services. Eighteen. Legal age.None of it mattered. None of it compared to the one thing he had told me already.My parents and my siblings died in the crash.Mum and dad were dead on arrival Olivia died a month ago and my brother a week before I woke up Gone. All of them.So it was just me now. Only me…Orphan at Seventeen He kept talking, flipping through my chart like it was any other Tuesday but he did was trying to sound sympathetic but I can tell he's been doing this he's whole life sharing bad news“I’ll run you through the current status of your body. Your legs were affected by the accident but not severely. You’ll be put on physiotherapy for about a month and everything should return to normal. There is also a ninety eight per

    Aria’s POV — age 17 I could hear them from the hallway. My parents.. They were arguing again there voices overlapping, like they were both trying to win a war nobody even understood anymore. It was always about the same thing lately — his job as a Reporter …mom used to love it but now she hates it . I tried knocking but they didn’t hear it. Or maybe they did and just didn’t stop. My stomach twisted. Today was supposed to be peaceful. Today mattered. I took a breath, pushed the door open. They both froze mid-fight, mid-anger, mid-breath “Mom… you’re supposed to help with my hair,” I said, peeking in. My voice came out small even though I hated sounding small. She nodded, jaw tight, eyes still burning from whatever she was yelling seconds ago. I didn’t wait. I turned and rushed back to my room like stepping away could make me forget the shouting Once I got to my room I sat at the vanity table…looking at the Family photo on the table Dad was holding mom by the waist, they lo
