Water still streamed from the showerhead as Aria stood frozen, turned halfway toward Damian with a towel now clutched to her chest. The mark, that mark, had shifted everything. She could see it in his eyes, how the warmth had drained from them, leaving only an icy calculation.

“Damian?” she asked again, this time more hesitant. “What’s wrong?”

Damian lowered the UV light slowly, his jaw tight. He met her gaze and for a long moment, said nothing. The silence between them stretched taut, heavy with unspoken truths.

Then, finally, he spoke.

“Turn around again.”

His voice was calm, but the edge beneath it was sharp enough to draw blood.

Aria frowned, confused. “Why?”

“Just do it,” he said, more softly this time. “Please.”

Something in his tone made her obey. She turned around once more, the towel wrapped tightly around her as the water continued to cascade down her back. Damian stepped closer, raised the UV light again, and stared at the mark glowing faintly under the filter.

  • Falling For My Ex's Mafia Dad    Chapter Hundred & Two

    The morning sun broke through the curtains, golden light spilling across the floor like a quiet promise of peace. The house was still. The chaos of the past days had finally started to settle, replaced by a strange quiet — the kind that follows a storm. Lyla stood in the foyer, a single suitcase beside her. Her eyes were hollow, puffy from crying. She didn’t say a word. She didn’t ask for forgiveness. There was nothing left to say. Damian stood several feet away, arms folded, jaw set like stone. Aria stood by his side, her hand in his — the unspoken message clear. Lyla glanced at them, then at Fiona and Adrian who stood watching from the hallway. Their eyes said it all: disappointment, betrayal… pity. The driver stepped inside. “The car’s ready, sir.” Damian gave a curt nod. Lyla hesitated. Then, she turned to Aria and took a slow step forward. “I didn’t mean for everything to go this far,” she said softly. “I just… wanted to be loved.” Aria said nothing at first. She just lo

    Lyla stepped toward Aria, voice low and threatening. “Don’t even think about telling anyone, do you understand? No one will believe you anyway.” Her eyes narrowed. “By the way, why did you even come back? You left the house like a coward. Why crawl back now? You should just leave. Again.” SLAP! A sharp sound tore through the room, and Lyla crashed to the floor, stunned. Aria turned, and so did Lyla, her cheek stinging and red. Damian stood in the doorway, face dark with rage, his jaw clenched tight. “Don…” Lyla muttered, horror flooding her eyes. Tears sprang out immediately, not from pain — but from fear. He had heard everything. Aria looked at him, her own eyes brimming with tears — but these were tears of relief. Damian… hadn’t betrayed her. He was innocent all along. Damian stormed toward Lyla and yanked her up by the arm. “Don, I can explain—” she stammered, voice cracking. “Shut up!” he bellowed, his fury shaking the room. He dragged her out of the bedroom, down the h

    Aria didn’t sleep much that night. Her mind raced, filled with doubts and fury and fragments of truth she couldn’t yet piece together. But one thing was clear — there would be no more pretending, no more waiting, no more letting Lyla twist things her way. She needed answers, and she was going to get them now. By morning, the sky was painted in a dull gray hue, and the house was still. Quiet. Cold. Perfect. Aria moved quickly, her footsteps soft but deliberate as she made her way through the corridor. When she reached Lyla’s door, she didn’t hesitate. She didn’t knock. She walked in. Lyla jerked up from her bed, eyes wide with confusion and then rising panic. “You? What the hell are you doing in my room?” she demanded, tugging the sheets closer to her chest. “Get out!” But Aria didn’t flinch. She stepped forward slowly, locking eyes with her. “Why are you scared, Lyla?” she asked, voice calm, deadly. “Are you scared because you know I could expose your truth?” Lyla’s face w

  • Falling For My Ex's Mafia Dad    Chapter Ninety Nine

    The morning air was crisp as Adrian’s car pulled into the long, familiar driveway of the De Luca mansion. The grandeur of the house stood tall before them, but for Aria, it felt suffocating. Memories rushed back like a flood, good ones, painful ones, the night she left, and the betrayal that shattered her world. Her fingers tightened on the hem of her dress as the car stopped. Adrian turned to look at her. “You sure you want to do this?” Aria nodded slowly. “I have to. I need to find the truth. But I’m not here to reunite with him. Not yet.” Fiona reached from the back seat and gently squeezed her shoulder. “We’re with you. Whatever happens, we won’t leave your side.” With a deep breath, Aria opened the car door. Her heart pounded as she stepped onto the familiar pavement, the mansion looming over her like a ghost from the past. The butler, startled, quickly opened the front door as they approached. “Ma’am… Mr. Damian is in the living room,” the butler stammered. Aria said nothi

    Adrian drove silently, his fingers gripping the steering wheel while Fiona and Aria sat quietly in the back seat. The atmosphere was heavy with unease as they neared the address the maid had given Aria. They pulled up in front of an old, abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city. The structure looked worn and forgotten, its rusted gates creaking slightly in the wind. Aria peered out the window, eyebrows furrowed. "Why would she call us to such an abandoned place?" Aria asked, her voice uncertain. "Don’t worry," Adrian replied calmly, glancing at her in the rearview mirror. "We’ll be careful." The trio stepped out of the car, walking cautiously toward the building. Inside, the maid was already waiting. The moment she saw them, she rushed forward. "Good day, ma'am," she said breathlessly. "Thank you so much for coming." Aria crossed her arms. "Did Damian send you here?" The maid quickly shook her head. "No, no, ma'am. Sir doesn't know anything about this." Fiona stepped f

    Aria stared at the doctor in disbelief, her lips parting slightly but no sound escaping. Her heart was pounding so loudly she could barely hear. Fiona and Adrian froze beside her, their eyes wide with shock. "What...what did you say?" Aria finally asked, her voice barely above a whisper. The doctor, holding the report in her hand, gave a gentle smile. "You’re three weeks pregnant, Miss Aria. The results are accurate." Aria blinked, staring at her, her mind struggling to catch up with the words she had just heard. "Pregnant...?" she echoed in disbelief. The doctor nodded. "Yes. You need to take it easy and avoid stress. There’s a new life growing inside you now, and your body needs rest and care." She turned to Fiona. "I’ve prescribed the necessary prenatal medications. Please ensure she takes them as directed." The doctor gave Aria a small congratulatory smile before turning and leaving the room. Aria slowly lowered her gaze to her belly, her hand gently resting over it. A bab
