ARIA

I flushed, looking like a maid next to Zara who was expertly made up and wearing the new dress Travis had just gifted her.

Everyone was whispering.

“Ugh, how's she even Zara's sister? They look nothing alike!”

“Isn't she the one whom Zara caught whoring around?”

I felt shame crawling up my spine even though I had done nothing wrong. The humiliation seemed never ending with these people.

Falling in love wasn't a crime, but I was certainly being punished for it!

Zara stood on the small stage father had rented for her birthday. Her lips trembled, tears spilling down her cheeks like she was the victim.

"My birthday dress…" she choked out, holding the ripped fabric with delicate hands. "Aria didn’t mean to ruin it, I’m sure. It was probably an accident.”

People turned to look at me. There was disgust in their eyes and I could see they were all judging me.

Travis pushed me forward. “I can't believe you would be so vicious as to destroy your sister's dress.”

“I didn’t touch her dre

    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

    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

    ARIA I got tired of waiting for Caspian, and left his office. I was much calmer. Analide was in her office and came around to talk to me, but I shook my head, not in the mood to talk. She placed her fingers on my arm. “Caspian said I was to inform him if you tried to leave.” I shrugged. “You can, but I'm leaving. I'm tired of waiting.” With each passing minute, my thoughts only became wilder. After dwelling on it for the last hour, I didn't really believe it was Zara or Rowan. Maybe Vivienne, but definitely not Zara or Rowan. They were too dumb for that. Or maybe it was even Talia, after all she had been standing right outside my office door. And how could she tell such a lie to Caspian? I shook my head, and walked away from Analide as she called Caspian. I was tempted to return to my office, but I went straight to the parking lot. I should have waited for Caspian. Talia was standing beside his car, looking impatient as hell. I walked over to her with rage. “How dare

    CASPIAN Talia frowned up at Duke, then hid her face under my arm. I shook my head at him. “Don't.” I turned to walk away, my arm around her shoulder, then stopped. “The flowers are on the table, along with the note. I'll be back in a few minutes.” Talia clutched my shirt as we walked away. I heard Duke open the door and close it behind him. I was barely aware of my surroundings as I walked Talia to the parking lot. “Where's your car?” She tightened her fingers against my skin, clawing at me. Her tears rapidly came pouring out again. “I don't want to be alone right now.” “Talia, I'm at work. I'll be with you immediately I'm done.” Her cries became even louder and she wouldn't move. “I can't be alone right now, Caspian. This is your fault, I shouldn't have to bear it alone!” I pulled in a breath of air and prayed for patience to deal with her. “Fine, sit in my car for a moment. I'll be back.” I told her. I walked her over to my car, settled her in, and walked away, hurrying up
