Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret 161. FAMILY FIRST
ARIAI couldn't sleep that night. Caspian had dropped me off at home, and went off to a meeting with his uncle. Every single creak in the house had me sitting up in bed, listening with my ears peeled for what? Footsteps? Voices? Someone trying to break into the house? I had no idea. When I sat up the third time, I threw my legs out of bed and walked into the kitchen, made myself a cut of coffee and sat with my fingers wrapped around it to warm my cold fingers.Ivan anger towards me was worrying. He was the one who had assaulted me. He didn't have any reason to pursue me so relentlessly. I went up into my bedroom, found the drive and plugged it in. Vivienne had researched Rowan extensively. If there was something, then I would find it. I read for an hour, clicking through all the documents, but there was nothing to see. No mention of her husband, but again, if Vivienne had information on Ivan, she most probably wouldn't place it where I could see it. I sat back, sipping from the c

CASPIANI could barely see the scenery around me. My eyes were narrowed on the road while Xander gave me directions to the restaurant he was supposed to have gone to with Aria. “Fuck, Caspian. You're driving like an old man. Can't this thing go any faster.” I stopped replaying every worst case scenario in my head long enough to frown at him. “It's your damned car. If I go any faster, it'll fucking somersault.” Ivan and Rowan in the same room as Aria when she had sounded that calm? It meant she was scared.I arrived at the restaurant, noting that her car was still parked.She's fine, she's fine, I repeated in my head. Everything’s fine. Except everything was wrong.“Stay in the car,” I said to Xander.“Like hell.” He was already out, slamming his door shut and following me into the restaurant. I didn't bother arguing with him. I pushed the door open and walked into the space. Searching the room, I didn't find her red hair, nor those green eyes, and neither Ivan or Rowan were in the

ARIAA dry laugh escaped my lips. “Wow, Ivan, couldn't even stay dead for one month?” I asked.Ivan Dmitri was alive, standing there like the devil had found his way out of hell. On his face was a smug grin, and I could tell he'd accurately read the surprise on my face. Standing beside him, was Rowan.“Aria? Did you miss me?” Ivan’s eyes ran over my body, and his smirk widened. “I see you're looking even better.” Ivan slid into the booth across from me like he owned the place, while Rowan followed, sitting beside me, boxing me in against the wall like he owned me. My body locked up, but I moved as far away as the leather seat allowed, placing my bag between us as a wall. Xander wasn’t coming. It was obvious that the lunch had been a setup.“I take it Mr. Lexington isn’t joining us?” My tone was flat, but I felt my pulse hammering in my throat.Ivan laughed, but Rowan answered, his arm lifting and curling across the back of the booth, his musky scent hitting my nose like poison. “D

ARIA “Mara? Please clear my schedule for the day.” Mara sat opposite me, tapping into her tablet. She stopped. “Um, Mr Lexington called earlier, asking me to schedule time for lunch with him.” Xander? I hadn't seen him since the other day in Caspian’s office. Why hadn't he called me? “Okay, an hour at lunch. Nothing else for the rest of the day.” I said. She locked the door behind her and I turned on my laptop, keeping track of the news. While we drove over, I'd texted the same reporter I used the last time, with the audio of Zara saying I should get over the assault. I didn't have long to wait. About an hour later, the notifications started dropping in. The outrage was expected, and deserved. “Zara Stanton? I always knew there was something not right about her!” “Wow, she has a sister?” “It was years ago, get over it!” I scrolled through most of the comments, but there was no satisfaction in it. I really didn't care much about Zara, I just wished she would stay the
Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret 157. A SLOW DAY
CASPIAN Was that footsteps? My eyes opened but I stayed still, feeling Aria’s heartbeat echo mine. She was lying right on top of me. We'd fallen asleep that way after mind-blowing sex against her bedroom door. She'd agreed for me to spend the night at her place. I smiled, then heard that sound again and the smile leaked off my face. Was there someone in her house? I slowly slid Aria off my stomach, soothing her when she grumbled in her sleep. When she closed her eyes again, I got out of the bed, and walked to the door, pulling my shirt on. Opening the door as quietly as I could, I slipped into the hallway, stilled and listened. The night was silent and cold, and for a second, I believed it was nothing. I was turning to head back into the room when the hairs on the back of my neck raised at once. Someone was in the house. I knew it because the footsteps in the hallway headed towards me. Turning around, I hid in the dark and waited. A few seconds later, a shadow stopped ju
Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret 156. ONE NIGHT IN MY HOUSE
ARIA “We don't know who sent those. We didn't pick any fingerprints off it.” Oh. I sat back, a sigh of relief escaping my lips. I could deal with these one at a time. I sat back, closed my eyes, and tried to shove it all away. “Aria,” I heard Caspian’s voice as if from afar. Opening my eyes, I saw that we were parked in front of my building. I sat up, rubbing off the sleep from my eyes. I'd drifted off during the drive. Caspian helped me climb out of the car. I walked with him to the door, and inside the house. Immediately I did, I saw Reed on the couch, pushing a toy truck between him and Lark. Michelle had Nylah on her lap, making her hair into cute little braids. I stopped at the door. “Oh. I didn't know you two were here.” Nylah’s eyes fastened on Caspian and she hurried over, almost jumping into his arms. He held her, twirling her in a circle as always before he smacked a kiss on the corner of her lip. “Hello, Princess.” Reed was watching the both of them with a d
