ARIA

“Caspian…”

“Don’t.” His voice brushed my ear, the air from his lips warm enough to scatter my thoughts. “Just trust me.”

Easy for him to say. I was standing in heels, blindfolded, while his hand settled at my hip and curled there like he owned me and the ground I was standing on.

“You’re enjoying this way too much,” I said as Caspian pulled the blindfold tight behind my head.

“Maybe.” There was a smile in his voice, the one that made me both want to roll my eyes and drag him into a dark corner, and kiss him.

I'd missed the part of me who had no worries, and just for today, he had given me that woman back.

His hands fell away from behind me, and I felt small hands slipped into mine.

“Come on, Mommy,” Nylah whispered, and I could feel her bouncing with excitement. Lark’s fingers held my other hand, and I squeezed gently.

“What is happening?” I asked as they pulled me forward. I hoped we were going in the right direction, because I could barely see a thing through the b

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    172. INTO THE COLD

    ARIAThe air was knocked straight out of my lungs.Maybe I was even trapped in ice because I didn't even get a second to scream. Vaguely, I realized I could still hear the music from the party even underwater. I kicked hard, breathing the surface of the water, fighting my dress which wrapped around me, and tried to drag me back into the water. I could see that Zara was standing right by the edge, smiling like she had just won a prize, like she hasn't just shoved me into the cold pool.She bent, her perfect manicure resting on her knees, her eyes smug with satisfaction. “What's wrong, Aria? You didn't see that coming? Caspian isn't here to save you?” My stomach tightened with anger. For half a second, I considered walking away, and then I remembered every moment Zara has done this, every moment she had held power over me. Never again. I didn't answer her, instead, I climbed out of the pool, the water pooling around my legs. Zara’s smirk widened into a smile. “Oh, you look soaked

    ARIA“Caspian?” I whispered. I mean I knew it wasn't real, I knew we had decided we would do this, but my heart beat was saying differently. “From the moment I met you, Aria, I knew I wanted you. In my life, in my bed. I want you to be mine forever, Aria. Please marry me.” Caspian’s voice was earnest and assured. I was drowning in his eyes. So I nodded, because what else could I do when he said things like that? I held my fingers out, and he slid the heavy ring onto it. "It's fake, it's fake. He's doing this to get fifty percent of the company."I chanted the words in my head, just as a subtle reminder to my heart which was racing. Scooping me into his arms, Caspian lips meshed with mine. Kissing me, he twirled me around to the sound of music and applause. This was happening, this was really happening. I was officially engaged to Caspian Finnick. I closed my eyes, inhaling his scent, and only realizing when my feet touched the ground that they were shaking. His fingers sta

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    170. THE FOLDER OF REVENGE

    ARIA I could see Zara’s eyes looking at the decor, the guests, and finally me. A comment must have been brewing just on the edge of her tongue. I didn't give her the time to pull the first punch. Stopping just in front of them, I smiled at my father, leaning in to hug him. “Welcome, Father.” He hugged me back, his body feeling smaller than I remembered. But what did I remember? When was the last time he held me in his arms like this? “Happy birthday, Aria. Everything looks beautiful,” my father said, his eyes still sweeping the venue just as Zara and Talia were doing. “Oh this? Caspian planned everything. I had no idea he had all this on his sleeve.” Smiling up at Caspian, I stretched, placing a kiss on his cheeks. Suddenly, my lunch didn't sit well in my stomach because Zara leaned forward and I knew the last thing I wanted to do was hug her. Holding my arm out, I shifted away from her and slid my arm into father's. From the anchor of his arm, I smiled at Zara and Tali

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    168. FEAST FOR ALL

    CASPIANThe look on her face almost made me forget the plan. Aria turned to me slowly, those green eyes wide and shining in the sunlight, her lips parting as if she couldn’t quite breathe. And I knew exactly what she was thinking. She was thinking the Bentley was my gift. Except it wasn’t.Her eyes jumped from the car to me, and I could see the disbelief in her eyes giving way to something else. It was softer, and it made my chest expand in a way I wasn't prepared for. Tears filled her eyes like tiny diamonds, clinging stubbornly to her lashes. “Hey, Doll,” I said, reached for her hand, and squeezed. Her palm was warm, my pulse drumming against my skin. “Do you like it?” Michelle asked, walking over to Aria and taking her other hand. “We thought you needed a new car.” “Do I like it? It's a Bentley, I can't take that!” Her eyes raked over the three conspirators, who were now waving their hands, voices loud as they begged her to take it. “But do you love it?” Aria’s mouth opene

    ARIA “Happy birthday to you… happy birthday to you…” I blinked awake, shaking the sleep in my eyes. “Caspian?” Caspian was sitting on the bed beside me, shirtless. “Yes, Doll?” he asked softly, holding out a tiny cupcake with a single candle burning on it. My heart did a ridiculously sharp slam, because what business did he have looking that handsome so early in the morning? “That's not how the birthday song goes…or is this a Caspian remix?” I murmured. Caspian grinned, holding the cake out to me, he leaned in, his thumb brushing the corner of my lips slowly. “The song sounded perfect to me,” he said. “You…remembered… my birthday?” I shifted closer to his warm body, stuttering my words. “Make a wish, Aria.” I closed my eyes, though all I could think of was him. His lips, his hands, the weight of his body pressing me down into the sheets. Him and the kids, the four of us together. I blew out the candle, and took a tiny bite of the cake. His lips dropped to mine, s
