Arielle's POV

"Arielle! Finally, you're here!"

I turned toward the familiar voice and found Darren approaching me with a bright smile.

I had just finished arranging my books inside my locker when he appeared.

I shut the locker and turned to face him.

"Good morning, Darren."

"Good morning?" he repeated dramatically. "Is that all you have to say to me after disappearing for two whole days?"

I laughed softly.

"What else am I supposed to say?"

"Do you have any idea how worried I was when you didn't

    Arielle's POV"Arielle! Finally, you're here!"I turned toward the familiar voice and found Darren approaching me with a bright smile.I had just finished arranging my books inside my locker when he appeared.I shut the locker and turned to face him."Good morning, Darren.""Good morning?" he repeated dramatically. "Is that all you have to say to me after disappearing for two whole days?"I laughed softly."What else am I supposed to say?""Do you have any idea how worried I was when you didn't attend class for two days?" he asked, pouting like a little child.I couldn't help but laugh again.Sometimes, I wondered how someone his age could behave so dramatically."I'm sorry. I wasn't feeling well," I lied naturally.It was becoming frightening how easily lies came out of my mouth these days.First, Mom.Now, Darren.At this rate, I would soon become a professional liar!"Oh, no!" His expression immediately changed to one of concern. "I thought something like that might have happened.

    Arielle's POV"So, young lady, are you ready to tell me where you went yesterday?" Mom asked seriously.I swallowed hard.Oh, goodness.I knew this question was coming, but why did it still feel like I had been caught committing a serious crime?To be fair, I had committed one.Well, not exactly a crime, but lying to my mother was something I rarely did. And this time, I wasn't just planning to tell one small lie. I had prepared an entire story!All because of one man.Cassian Varo.Yesterday, Cassian and I shared a quiet moment that didn't need words.We stayed at the beach for hours, watching the beautiful sunset until the sky slowly turned dark.I thought he would eventually suggest that we leave, but instead, he pointed at the stars and whispered about how beautiful they were.And just like that, we spent several more hours enjoying each other's company.There was something peaceful about sitting beside him without having to say anything.Sometimes, he would look at me, and whenev

    Slash's POVI only had two days to make preparations and ensure that everything Cassian had requested was ready.Yet here I was, back at the pub, doing nothing but observing that rude lady.What was her name again?Ah, Soraya.Last night, our little argument hadn't ended on a good note.I still couldn't figure out what I had done to upset her when I had offered her more than enough compensation for my behavior.Because of that, I hadn't been able to sleep early.I stayed awake wondering why she hadn't been happy about the money when most people I knew would have jumped up and down at such an offer.It wasn't like I had given her a small amount either.I had been generous.Very generous.So what exactly was her problem?I leaned back against my seat and watched her move between the tables.She was carrying a tray filled with drinks, smiling politely at the customers as she served them.Interesting.So she actually knew how to smile.I had almost convinced myself that the woman was born

    Soraya's POV"You seriously have to get rid of that cold look on your face. Sweetie, you're scaring our customers."Lady Chi-Chi spoke softly.I took a deep breath and slowly breathed out."I'm sorry, Lady Chi-Chi," I whispered."It's fine."She smiled gently."How about you take a little break and go have a smoke outside?""I don't smoke!" I quickly answered, raising my hands in protest.She laughed softly."Then how about you go outside for some fresh air? Just five minutes."I smiled and nodded."Thank you."I answered in a low voice before walking away.I made my way outside and stood close to the entrance, looking up at the stars with a sad smile.The cool evening air brushed against my skin, making me feel a little better.At least out here, I didn't have to pretend to be happy.I didn't have to smile at people who looked down on me.And I didn't have to worry about someone throwing another insult in my face.I sighed heavily.Money had a dangerous power that I had seen but nev

    Slash's POVI needed a glass of whiskey.Shit, I needed the whole damn bottle.Some music would actually make things even better.I didn't want to sit still at home, and the thought of being in my office when I had so much to think about wasn't going to do me any good.That's why I was at the pub, despite feeling hesitant to get out of my car.I closed my eyes and leaned back against my seat as the image of Cassian leaving my house played in my mind.He had been smiling like a man who had waited his whole life for such a day to come.Nothing I said seemed to get through to him.Not even my warning about Arielle.I understood his need to get back at his father, but using marriage as part of his revenge was something I couldn't agree with.And knowing Cassian, once he made up his mind, convincing him otherwise was almost impossible.I sighed heavily.That bastard was going to give me a headache.A sudden knock on my window startled me."Fuck!"I cursed under my breath and opened my eyes

    Slash's POV"What the fuck did you just say?" I asked Cassian seriously."My mother was a victim too in all this, brother," he whispered.I stared at him in disbelief. When he knocked on my door looking like shit, I knew something bad must have happened. But I never thought it would be this terrible! That old bastard was truly a monster. How could he destroy two people who should have meant everything to him? His own wife and son. And the worst part was that he had spent years acting like the perfect husband and father in public.I looked at Cassian again. He was sitting on my sofa with his head lowered. His eyes were red, and he looked like someone who hadn't slept in days. I had seen him angry. I had even seen him frustrated and break down. But seeing him like this made me want to drive straight to that old bastard's house and beat the shit out of him.I sighed and moved to sit beside him. "So, brother, don't you think it's time to take our next step?" I asked.He slowly raised his
