ARIA

I was hesitant about going to the office the next day, but I went anyway.

Rowan had backed off for a bit, but Darion informed me he had gone cake tasting with Zara for their wedding.

Maybe now that he was really into planning the wedding with Zara, he would leave my children and I alone.

At the office, Mara was already waiting anxiously for me at the door.

She handed me a coffee and smiled nervously. “I hope Mr. Finnick was not too angry about last time?” She asked hopefully.

I walked past her, taking the coffee she was offering. “How many times have I warned you against gossiping, Mara?” I asked her instead.

“Miss Stanton?” She asked, standing in front of my desk.

I sighed. “No, Mr. Finnick was not angry. But don't repeat that.”

No, Caspian had been rather pleased to hear her gossiping about him. I grimaced into the coffee as I thought of last night.

Dmitri was an asshole, but I wasn't even too angry at him.

Caspian had shocked me with his reaction to Mr. Dmitri putting

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    74. A NIGHT IN WITH REED

    ARIAI snapped my fingers in front of Caspian’s face, closing my spread legs. “For one, you can't keep coming into my office. Mara could come in here at any moment.” Caspian grinned, his dark brown eyes turning the color of honey. “The door's locked. She couldn't come in here if she wanted to.” I groaned, pushing my weak knees to stand. My body revolted, craving to snuggle into his warmth instead. I dragged myself a few steps away, remembering what happened the last time I trusted a man wholeheartedly to take care of me. “Caspian, I'm fucking serious. You can't keep coming in here like this.” I glared at him, my eyes flashing until the smirk left his lips as he realized I was damned serious.“Would you prefer to come to my house? The last time I asked you to, you said it was against company policy.” Caspian chuckled, standing and prowling towards me. I stepped back hurriedly. “Stay right there. I find that when I'm within a few steps from you, my brain doesn't work the way it sho

    ARIAMy stomach twisted at the frustrated tone of Nyx’s voice. She took a sip of the coffee so the mug hid her face. When I saw her face again, she grinned. “I'm glad someone loved it enough to buy it.” I gulped, nodding. “Yes. The sculpture was stunning. Xander paid for it, I could never afford to buy something that expensive.” Nyx’s eyes narrowed. “Xander paid for the painting?” Her shoulders had become tense and she dropped the coffee mug. “Yes.” I answered, watching her body language. She nodded. “I see.” She stood and poured out the coffee in the sink inside her office. “I have another meeting in a few minutes, did you want to see any other sculptures?” I had meant to question her about if she knew my mother, but obviously, that wouldn't be necessary. I stifled the disappointment and stood, pulling out my phone to text Xander.“No. Thank you for taking the time to see me.” Nyx took my hand, shaking it smoothly. “I'm sure we'll meet again, sometime soon. You are Mrs. Finnic

    ARIA“You don't have to answer that. I'm sure you're eager to see me. I'll bring some food.” He said finally, ending the call as he was called away to work.I dropped my phone, my eyes jumping to the door where Xander was standing. My eyes widened as he stepped into the room, his eyes looking rather suspicious.“Who was that?” He questioned, taking the seat in front of my desk, looking rather serious.Watching him with his jaw locked and harsh, I could finally understand why he and Caspian were friends. Xander could be just as hard and tough as his best friend when he wished to be.“Why would I answer that question, Xander?” I asked with a raised brow. “It's none of your business, is it?” “Aria…” he started but I interrupted before he could finish.“I should be the one questioning why you're here, shouldn't I? How long were you standing by my door?” Xander had not called to inform me he was coming. “You're Mrs. Finnick’s Belle, Aria. You're not to be photographed meeting with any

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    70. STUCK IN MY HEAD

    CASPIANMaybe I had underestimated the bastard, but not anymore. Dmitri was gazing up at me with as much veiled anger as I could read in Aria’s eyes.“Do you understand, Ivan?” I snapped. He swallowed and nodded. I let him go and he bounced against his chair.“Let's go, Aria.” I said, waiting until she moved before walking behind her until we left the restaurant. It was only when we stepped outside that I realized I was shaking.I opened Aria’s door and slammed it shut when she entered the car. We sat inside the car together for a few minutes while I got my temper under control.“Did I just lose you the contract?” Aria asked softly, looking up at me with soft eyes. I exhaled. “What did you say?” Was she blaming herself for Ivan’s uncultured behavior? Aria looked down, twirling her fingers in her lap. “I'm sure Mr. Dmitri is angry. Which means he might not sign the contract.” I shook my head. What the fuck was she going on about? “Look at me.” I said. She kept her head down, sh

    ARIAAt home, I offered to pay Meredith for overtime. She would have to stay with the kids for three hours at least, while I went to dinner with Mr. Dmitri and Caspian.“I'll be back before eleven so you can head home. Thank you so much.” I said as I hurried upstairs to dress up. Rowan called my phone about twenty times as I was preparing but I didn't even bother answering. Fuck him! That guy was too arrogant. Why else would he even believe that I would call his number? Much less ask him to stay the night with my children and me? I texted Caspian to get the location for the dinner. His text came a few minutes later.“I'm picking you up, wear something sexy.” I stared at the text, my body trembling. Was he being serious right now? This was a business dinner, I wasn't dressing up for him to feast his eyes on my body!That was what I told myself, but when I went to my closet, I picked the red dress.It was a long, dinner dress with a corset bodice and a demure slit to the knee.
