ARIA

Fucking hell!

I turned around, seeing that he was right behind me. His hand curved around my arm and he started tugging me towards a dark limo parked a few feet away.

“Mr. Dmitri?” My bag fell off my arms in the struggle. I crashed against his chest as he turned me around suddenly.

“You can't think I'm so stupid, can you? You're not going anywhere, damn you.” He pulled the car door open and shoved me in.

I bounced off the seats, falling on the floor. I sprang back up, shaking my head.

I'd come to the end of my patience, if he put his hand on me again, I'd have no choice but to hurt him.

“Mr. Dimitri…”

His hand locked around my neck and he jerked me into him. “Stop fucking calling me that. My name's Ivan.”

“Ivan…” I choked out, struggling to breathe as his fingers tightened, digging into my skin like barnacles. “Mr. Finnick knows where I am and is expecting me back in a few minutes. I texted him while you were in the restroom. Whatever you're planning is a bad idea.”

“Is it?”

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    251. GUNS AND BULLETS

    CHAPTER 249CASPIAN“Move!” I barked, shoving Stevens forward.He stumbled, breathing hard. His lashes were matted with tears. “They…”“Save it, you can explain later,” I snapped, dragging him behind a stack of shipping crates. Safety first, because there would be no time for stories if we all died here.The cover was a flimsy stack of crates, but at least it was something between us and the billets whizzing past our heads.The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and motor oil, bullets hitting the crates around us.Duke’s men fired back, each shot bouncing off the concrete walls of the dockyard.“Caspian!?” I heard Markus scream my name. My heart lodged into my throat as I assumed he was hurt.But no, he was pointing desperately at Rowan who was running away.The fucking coward.I turned to Stevens and fisted his shirt. “Stay here. Unless you’re absolutely in danger, do not move from here. Do you understand?”He nodded, his eyes almost filmy with fear. I shook my head. He p

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    250. CHAOS RELOADED

    CASPIANEven as I spoke the words, I knew they made no sense.Stevens had said Rowan planned to move in three days, moving a day earlier meant he was spooked.What did he know? I went up to our room and grabbed a jacket.Aria looked up from the couch when I returned.I leaned in and kissed her cheeks. “I’ll be back soon. I’m not sure how long this will take, so don’t wait up. I’ll lock the door behind me.”She stood and hugged me hard. “Stay safe, Caspian.”I nodded, and stalked out of the house. Duke sent me directions to where they were waiting. Stevens’ voice wouldn’t leave my head as I drove over to him. “Rowan’s moving the shipment early. Something’s wrong.”My gut was tight, my hands already curled into fists I hadn’t thrown yet. I didn’t even need to check in with Duke or Markus; they’d be waiting. And sure enough, by the time I made it out to where they were, Markus’ SUV was idling at the curb, Duke in the driver’s seat.Xander was standing beside the car, leaning back aga

  • 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

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    246. TO BURN ALIVE

    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
