CASPIAN

Did she really say that to me? Goodness, I had never met a more temperamental woman.

Aria was a beauty. Her porcelain skin was soft as petals under my fingers, and her brows were arched majestically.

She was already walking away. Hugo stepped out of the car beside me. “I can bring her to the house later, Mr. Finnick.”

Hugo was suggesting kidnapping her, just as Aria had said. I shook my head, watching as she slid into a cab. “She has suffered enough from my family. Let me talk to my grandmother first.”

Just as I slid into the car, my phone rang. I winced when I saw it was Talia.

So far, fueled by the guilty conscience of my act against her, I had put Hugo in charge of her. He gave her all she asked for and I was glad to see that she was getting everything that made her happy.

“Talia?” I said.

Her soft, delicate voice greeted my ears. “Caspian, are you busy this evening?”

I was supposed to see Grandma, but I was sure I could make time later. “Depends. Is there something

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    79. ANGER AND GUILT

    CASPIAN“Aria?” The words seared my throat on their way out. I climbed onto the bed and lifted her into my arms, holding her against my side. She pulled back, glaring at Ivan. “What’s he doing in my room?” I let her go though my arms ached to hold her against me. I wanted to cuddle her into my sides and keep the monster away. Even if the monster was a billionaire who really should have known better. “He's here to apologize to you.” I shoved my finger into Ivan’s side. “Go on. Say it like we rehearsed.”Aria shook her head, shoving away from the bed. “Get him away from here. Get him away from me!” She yelled. “Aria? He's only here to…” Xander hurried to bed, taking her into his arms. Before I could allow the jealousy settle in my guts she shoved him away and stepped away rigidly. “I do not give a rat’s ass about why he's here. I want him gone. Get him away from my house!” She broke down, cupping her hands over her face. “Get him away from me, please, please. Get him out of my

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    78. THE REMAKE OF MY PAIN

    ARIAFucking hell!I turned around, seeing that he was right behind me. His hand curved around my arm and he started tugging me towards a dark limo parked a few feet away. “Mr. Dmitri?” My bag fell off my arms in the struggle. I crashed against his chest as he turned me around suddenly. “You can't think I'm so stupid, can you? You're not going anywhere, damn you.” He pulled the car door open and shoved me in.I bounced off the seats, falling on the floor. I sprang back up, shaking my head.I'd come to the end of my patience, if he put his hand on me again, I'd have no choice but to hurt him.“Mr. Dimitri…” His hand locked around my neck and he jerked me into him. “Stop fucking calling me that. My name's Ivan.” “Ivan…” I choked out, struggling to breathe as his fingers tightened, digging into my skin like barnacles. “Mr. Finnick knows where I am and is expecting me back in a few minutes. I texted him while you were in the restroom. Whatever you're planning is a bad idea.”“Is it?”

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    77. FLASHES FROM THE PAST

    ARIAI smiled, though it felt more like a grimace to me. “Good thing I won't need that much time, then.”I opened the documents, leaning forward to show him each place that needed his signature. I turned the document, finding the pen and handing it to him. “You'll sign here.” I looked up to find Mr. Dmitri’s eyes fastened on my breasts. He looked up, grinning winsomely as he took the documents from me. “You can put those away for now. I'll sign them just before we leave.”“I have to get back to work. I have only a few minutes to spend here.” I argued, shielding my breasts with my arm which I crossed over my chest. I wanted to claw his eyes out. He knew damned well that I was uncomfortable with his eyes on my chest like that, but he obviously didn't care because his eyes kept dropping there for peeks at my chest every few seconds.“I'm sure you can get the afternoon off, Aria. This deal is worth millions, are you sure you want to throw it away just to hurry back to work?” My jaw ti

    ARIAXander shrugged innocently. “I guess not then. Your indignation is genuine.” “Am I that obvious?” I winced as I asked the question. “Yes you are. To me anyway. And to anyone else who knows Caspian.” Xander answered.I sat back and closed my eyes. I remembered what Analide had said about Talia and I having some sort of hold over Caspian. Did she know how much we wanted each other too? “Will Caspian be at the meeting?” I whispered, keeping my eyes closed. “Yes. He's your beau after all.” Xander replied.We pulled up at Mrs. Finnicks house. The appearance of the mansion pulled a gasp from my lips. This was the very essence of luxury. As we walked into the house, I could already tell that the art works on the walls alone cost more than my paycheck for a month. “Mrs. Finnick is having breakfast. We can join her or wait down here.” Xander informed me as we walked in. Inside the living room, Nyx was already seated. She had a tablet in her hand and she was brushing strokes of her

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    75. STAYING SANE

    ARIA“Reed…” My voice trailed off and I gulped as Reed held my hand closer to his chest. He smiled, his full lips curving into a bow as he pressed his finger against my lips. “I know this is very abrupt. You don't have to answer now, Aria. Take a few days to think about it.” I nodded, almost tripping over my own feet as I stepped away from Reed and he drove away. I walked inside, uncertain how to feel about Reed’s question. There was no doubt that I was flattered by his attention. I could even admit that I enjoyed his company. But I knew Caspian was the man I wanted. It was impossible to think I could date another man. I went to bed, still thinking about it.What if it felt to Reed that I was leading him on? Would I have to end my friendship with him completely? The thought of it made my stomach sour as I finally fell asleep. The next morning, I woke to my phone ringing. I hurried out of bed and answered the call. “Hello?” “Aria? This is Nyx. I'm sorry to interrupt your slee

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    74. A NIGHT IN WITH REED

    ARIAI snapped my fingers in front of Caspian’s face, closing my spread legs. “For one, you can't keep coming into my office. Mara could come in here at any moment.” Caspian grinned, his dark brown eyes turning the color of honey. “The door's locked. She couldn't come in here if she wanted to.” I groaned, pushing my weak knees to stand. My body revolted, craving to snuggle into his warmth instead. I dragged myself a few steps away, remembering what happened the last time I trusted a man wholeheartedly to take care of me. “Caspian, I'm fucking serious. You can't keep coming in here like this.” I glared at him, my eyes flashing until the smirk left his lips as he realized I was damned serious.“Would you prefer to come to my house? The last time I asked you to, you said it was against company policy.” Caspian chuckled, standing and prowling towards me. I stepped back hurriedly. “Stay right there. I find that when I'm within a few steps from you, my brain doesn't work the way it sho
