ARIA

My eyes filled with tears as my shoulder hurt. My palm had scrapped against the floor and it was burning too.

Talia and Zara hurried forward, both of them crowding me as they apologized.

“Aria, are you hurt? I guess you haven't stopped being so clumsy, have you?” Zara asked, squatting behind me and trying to shove me to my feet.

“No, Zara, don't remind her of that, can't you see she's losing more weight and trying to be fit?” Talia said, standing at my right side and helping me to my feet.

We were surrounded by a small crowd, most of them looking sorry for me as Talia and Zara helped me up.

I felt something prick me on my back, but the next second, that didn't matter because Zara stepped in front of me.

She was smiling with a superior glint in her eyes. “Can you stand alone? Or do you need us to walk you to your car?”

I knew she was performing for the crowd again. And like always, the audience was blind to the act.

I turned to see that Mara and Cher were already packing my

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    92. DICEY SITUATIONS

    ARIAOh goodness.I was shaking in place, unable to move as my phone started ringing. The ring jerked me out of my stupor and I hurriedly picked up the phone. The screen was blacked out in spots, but swiping my finger across it, I was able to answer the call.“Hello?” I cleared my throat to shove back the fear making it difficult to speak.“Aria? Can you hear me?” It was Xander and I felt a rush of relief. I wasn't sure what I'd been expecting but I had been tense. “Yes I can,” I rambled on. “Oh my God, thank goodness you called. I was about to lose my mind. What's wrong?” “Are you fine? You don't sound fine. Where are you? I'm going to you now.” I heard the scrape of footsteps and then a door banging shut.I looked around, still dazed. I'd been planning to shoot Ivan. Even now, I wasn't entirely sure how I'd have been able to do that, or if I would have ever done that. But it had made me feel good to think that I could finally hurt him back, in a way that would ensure that he cou

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    91. TOOK CARE OF MY PROBLEM?

    ARIAWhen I woke, it was dark outside. I hadn't even realized that I'd fallen asleep.Caspian wasn't in bed beside me and I felt a weak frisson of disappointment. I masked it by grimacing and checking what time it was.I gasped when I saw it was almost midnight! I'd slept through Meredith leaving. I jumped out of bed, pulled a robe on, and hurried down to the children's room. I felt guilty for a second because I'd never slept through the children's bedtime before. Never, not even once. I went into their room and saw they were both curled up, fast asleep. My shoulders relaxed and I backed away and closed the door, relieved.I needed to thank Meredith for putting them to sleep for me.I was padding down to my room when I perceived something cooking. I swiveled and almost ran to the kitchen. At the door, my eyes widened and I gasped.Caspian Finnick was standing in my kitchen, wearing shorts and frying an egg while he poured hot chocolate into my favorite mug.How did he even know that

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    90. SENSATIONS IN MY BED

    ARIAOH!Caspian’s words were a revelation. Actually, this entire thing was a revelation. Sex with Rowan was good, but only because I badly wanted that man. Rowan didn't care about anyone but himself.Caspian between my legs was more pleasure than anything I'd ever done in my life. He was between my legs, gazing down at me with feverish eyes that looked one edge away from devouring me.Oh, how badly I needed that meat inside me. I placed my legs on his ass and pressed him further between my legs. “Yes, you should.” I whispered to him, my throat filled with the screams of my pleasure.I'd tried to keep it low because of the children, but there was no telling how loud I'd been.Caspian lifted my legs and wrapped it around his waist, his cock sliding between my legs. I gasped and my eyes widened.“You're not going to fit!” I hissed. He was way too big and I was way too tight even though I was wet like a dripping faucet.“I am.” His tight voice was filled with a calm assurance and I le

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    89. GIVING INTO MY NEED

    CASPIANWas that it? Was that really the moment? I wanted to lift Aria into my arms and carry her down the hallway to her bedroom, but I was conscious that her kids were in this house, and they could step out of their rooms at any time.Instead, I fastened my eyes on Aria’s ass, watching as her hips swung from side to side as she walked ahead of me.“Did I ever tell you how beautiful you are?” I cupped her ass, squeezing in the way she had squeezed mine just earlier.She giggled. Aria giggled! Aria Stanton didn't giggle usually, and the sound burst over my skin like warm water on a cool winter morning. My heartbeat swung into overdrive as I took her hand, hurrying us to our door.We were a few steps away when a door opened ahead and Meredith stepped out. I groaned as Aria stopped. She turned her head to narrow her eyes at me. “Are the kids sleeping, Meredith?” Meredith shook her head. “Lark’s painting and Nylah won't stop asking about Reed. I think he promised to take them out of

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    88. "I NEED YOU NOW, ARIA"

    ARIABesides Nyx was Xander who walked ahead of her and nudged my shoulder. “Did Caspian piss you off again?” I shook my head, biting my lip to hold back the slew of words bubbling there. I wished that it was Caspian who pissed me off, because he was a much easier target to be mad at.What sort of anger do you feel towards a father? And even your entire family? The sort that corrodes your sanity. Nyx rubbed my back gently. “Since it's not Caspian, you can come in with us then, we're going to meet him now.” She peered up at me, quirking her lips when I started shaking my head at once. I needed to get home.“You'll be moving into Mrs. Finnick’s mansion tomorrow. There's a spa day before the ball.” Nyx said. She lifted a hank of my hair and ran her hand through it. I gulped and nodded. If I was going there, I would have to take Meredith and the twins with me. I'd talk to Caspian about it later, but I needed time to myself at the moment. Caspian was right, it was too soon to be back

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    87. CALM ME DOWN

    ARIA I pushed the restaurant door open just as Caspian stepped back inside. His phone was still in his hand and his jaw hard as a rock. The second his eyes landed on me, his eyes narrowed and he walked faster.“There’s an emergency. I have to get back to the office,” he looked behind me at Zara and Rowan who were just walking out too. “You look pale, did something happen while I was gone?” “That’s fine. I’m done with lunch anyway,” I answered, brushing past him.The heat in my chest hadn’t cooled at all. If anything, it burned hotter. Somehow, Rowan and Zara had come in and made a bad moment worse.We walked side by side in silence toward the car. I could feel Caspian watching me out of the corner of his eye, but I refused to turn my head. I didn't owe him a conversation, he hadn't completed his apology, and I hadn't forgiven him. He would have to try again and do better. Just as I reached for the door, his hand closed around mine, and tugged me closer to him. I pulled my finger
