ARIA

The next morning, I dressed excellently and went to the Elyse to pick up my artwork.

Once that was done, I had it taken to my apartment where Meredith would receive it, and hurried to work.

Mara met me outside my office. “We all heard what happened!” She sighed. “Miss Micheal is really evil, isn't she? How could she lock you in that room?”

I felt a small headache throb in my forehead. I wasn't interested in having gossip about me spreading in the office.

“How did you hear about that?” I asked, because no one but Xander, Caspian and those two vicious women knew.

“Cher informed us. Her boyfriend was at the event.” Mara answered.

I waved Mara away, refusing to be part of the gossip about myself.

I picked up my phone and texted my father to inform him that I would be at home that evening for dinner.

I knew Talia and Zara would be planning something even worse, especially after they knew that Caspian wasn't really on their side.

I didn't have any qualms about playing dirty anymor

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    249. WATCHING HIM, TAILING HIM

    ARIARowan didn't even try to hide the anger that sparked in his eyes. His hands balled into fists.I had the feeling that if Caspian hadn't leaned forward that moment, he would have lunged across the table at me.“And I agree. The public shouldn't be exposed to the menace that is your product.” Caspian said. “Can you remind me why the fuck you're sitting in on this meeting, Caspian?” Rowan snarled. “The last time Aria was here, she nearly left in a body bag, I'm here to remind you that trying that again will end with you in a body bag, and there will be no mistakes about it.”I coughed into my palm to hide my smirk. Rowan stuttered, leaning forward. “Did…did you just threaten me?!” Caspian’s shoulders squared, and he leaned into his chair, his legs spread and relaxed. “There were no threats made here, Rowan.”Rowan’s mouth snapped shut, and that alone made the pain of forcing myself here worth it.I knew for sure he'd expected me to stay home, and come back docile when I was hea

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    248. CAUTION OR EXPOSE?

    ARIA“Be good for Evelyn, okay?”I knelt down to kiss the twins, filling my lungs with the fresh strawberry scent of Nylah’s hair as I hugged them one by one. Her arms were shaking around me, and she held me tighter than usual. My chest was tighter than it had ever been, and I didn’t have to ask why to know they were worried about me. “Mommy…” I shook my head, pressing a kiss to Nylah’s forehead to stop her words. “I’m fine, sweetheart. You don’t have to worry about me.”“You were in the hospital,” Nylah whispered. I could see that her eyes were about to fill with tears.That was absolutely the last thing I wanted to happen.“I know.” I kissed her forehead. “But I’m home now, and I’m getting stronger every day.”Lark frowned up at me.His brow was furrowed in that way he got from watching Caspian too many times. “Are you going to be here when we get home?” He asked.“Yes, I promise,” I said firmly, brushing my thumb over his cheek. “I’ll be right here waiting for you two. Now g

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    247. WHO WANTED ARIA GONE?

    CASPIANAria was shaking in my arms, coughing against my shirt, but I didn’t care that she was probably soaking me through. I just kept holding her, one hand braced on the back of her head, the other gripping her tighter than I probably should have.She was alive. That was all I could think. She was alive.Behind us, the building was in chaos. “Breathe slowly,” I told Aria, smoothing damp hair away from her face. My voice was calmer than I felt. Inside, I was seconds away from tearing that entire building apart.“Caspian…”“Shh.” I pulled her in again, burying my face in her hair. She smelled like smoke, and I forced myself to take a breath.I had almost lost her.Someone had locked her in there, and had set that fire. And they hadn’t just been trying to scare her.They had wanted her dead.My locked so hard it ached.A throat cleared nearby, and I turned to find Duke. “We need to get her out of here,” he said quietly.I nodded. “My car’s out front.”Duke stepped closer. “Can you

    ARIAVienne called before I’d even had my morning coffee. “Rowan has a product viewing scheduled, Miss Stanton, and you’re expected to be in the office this morning.”I set my mug down on the counter and pinched the bridge of my nose. “I’ll be there by noon.”“It’s this morning, Miss Stanton.”“I heard you, and I'll be there by noon.” The pause on the line told me she didn’t approve, but I didn’t care. I hung up and went back to my coffee, and true to my word, I walked into the office at exactly noon. Vienne was already in the lobby, standing so straight she looked like her spine had been fused. She didn’t greet me, didn’t even look me in the eye. She just turned and started walking away. I followed her unil she stopped at a black door with my name on it. “This is yours,” she said, pushing it open.I stepped inside and set my bag on the oak desk. The door closed behind me and Vienne left me alone. A few minutes later, the door opened and expecting Vienne, I smiled. “Thanks, Vi

    ARIA“Get something different. You ordered the same thing last time.” “And you judged me then too. Besides, the last time was a long time ago. I'm allowed to crave this again.” I laughed at Nyx’s aggravated expression, taking a slow sip of the pumpkin latte. Nyz stirred her tea lazily, her black nails tapping the handle of her cup. She looked like a bored cat. A gorgeous, bored cat. And I was still hung up on how I would tell her about Xander. He was in hell, and he needed a hand out of it. Nyx’s mouth curved. “Consistency isn’t a flaw.” She lifted her gaze, dark eyes locking on mine. “Unless you’re consistently bad at making decisions.”“Thanks,” I deadpanned, blowing on my coffee. “That’s uplifting.”Nyx took a slow sip of tea, looking out of the window. Her green eyes were like shiny emeralds with the light behind her. “You seem relaxed today,” I said. “I thought you'd be wound up.” “Mm.” She hummed like she hadn’t heard me, but then she tipped her head toward me, casual. “

    CASPIANStevens was shaking by the time we were done with him. Duke shoved him out of the back seat without ceremony, dumping him on the sidewalk a few doors down from his house. He stumbled, caught himself, and shot me one terrified look before sprinting for his front porch like the devil was on his heels.He was a good actor. No one would suspect he hadn't been scared shitless. “Do you think he’ll talk?” Duke asked, leaning an elbow on the window frame as I slid back into the front seat. “What if he's lying?” “No,” I said flatly, watching Stevens disappear inside his house. “Not if he knows what’s good for him. Besides, he was scared. Scared and worried.”Duke grunted, a low sound that might’ve been approval. Markus started the engine, and we pulled away without looking back.Stevens had given us enough. There was Rowan’s meeting in three days, the trafficking truth, the fact he’d been digging into him for years. By the time I got home, Aria was waiting in the kitchen with he
