ARIA

I spent the rest of the day in bed.

Caspian promised I didn't have to go to work until I felt perfectly alright, both mentally and physically. The only time I left bed was when I went into Nylah and Lark’s room.

I hadn't seen them since I returned home the day before and immediately they returned from school, I was standing outside waiting for them.

“Mommy!!!!” Nylah and Lark yelled, both rushing into my arms. I scooped them up and hugged them tight, sniffing their hairs while my heart pounded in my chest.

“How was school?” I asked them both, taking their hands and leading them inside.

They told me their experience in school as I made lunch and we ate together. Meredith kept staring at me with worry in her gaze. I hadn't told her what happened with Ivan.

I wasn't ready to speak of it yet because I didn't want to deal with it. I had been molested twice. I needed a moment to sit with that before I could let it go.

“Mommy? Are you okay?” Nylah asked as I walked with them up th

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    82. REED'S DESIRE, MY AVERSION

    ARIAMy stomach caved in on itself. I met Reed’s eyes, drawn in by the fire in them. His fingers lifted onto my cheeks and grazed my lips. Reed’s hand cupped the side of my face before I had time to move back. His eyes searched mine. They were heavy, and bright but he didn't rush. It was as though despite my words, he knew I wouldn’t stop him. I didn’t. I should have, but I didn’t, so he leaned in and kissed me.His lips were soft and warm, tasting faintly of wine and the grapes he’d just eaten. My heart twisted as heat flared along my skin, hollowing my stomach.I kissed him back, because I wanted to feel something. I wanted to know if maybe I had just imagined the difference, if maybe this thing with Caspian wasn’t real. But the longer the kiss went on, the more the answer solidified inside me. It wasn’t the same. My stomach didn’t flip. My knees didn’t go weak. I didn’t ache to be closer the way I did when Caspian touched me. My skin didn't burn like it would explode if he di

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    81. A BIG CHOICE TO MAKE; CASPIAN OR REED?

    ARIACaspian’s fingers tightened around my waist when I tried to move away, and it made the moment even more awkward. He glared at Reed, then narrowed his eyes at me. “Who is this man, Doll?” I looked between the two of them, grateful when Meredith stepped in right on time.“Welcome Mr. Reed, we weren't expecting you today.” She flashed him a big smile, taking Nylah from him. Reed’s gaze didn't swivel from Caspian’s arm around my waist. “I had a free hour at the hospital. Seems it was a bad idea to decide to spend it here.” He lifted his eyes to mine. “Aria? You didn't answer me.” The air was electric and taut. A blunt butter knife could cut smoothly through the tension. Meredith took one look at my face and took Nylah and Lark’s hand. She herded them out of the room, promising them ice cream and pie.Once she closed the door behind them, I straightened my shoulders and stepped out of Caspian’s arms. I'd kept my cool, because I didn't want to worry my children again. Both Caspi

    CASPIAN“Aria?” The words seared my throat on their way out. I climbed onto the bed and lifted her into my arms, holding her against my side. She pulled back, glaring at Ivan. “What’s he doing in my room?” I let her go though my arms ached to hold her against me. I wanted to cuddle her into my sides and keep the monster away. Even if the monster was a billionaire who really should have known better. “He's here to apologize to you.” I shoved my finger into Ivan’s side. “Go on. Say it like we rehearsed.”Aria shook her head, shoving away from the bed. “Get him away from here. Get him away from me!” She yelled. “Aria? He's only here to…” Xander hurried to bed, taking her into his arms. Before I could allow the jealousy settle in my guts she shoved him away and stepped away rigidly. “I do not give a rat’s ass about why he's here. I want him gone. Get him away from my house!” She broke down, cupping her hands over her face. “Get him away from me, please, please. Get him out of my

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    78. THE REMAKE OF MY PAIN

    ARIAFucking 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?”

    ARIAI smiled, though it felt more like a grimace to me. “Good thing I won't need that much time, then.”I opened the documents, leaning forward to show him each place that needed his signature. I turned the document, finding the pen and handing it to him. “You'll sign here.” I looked up to find Mr. Dmitri’s eyes fastened on my breasts. He looked up, grinning winsomely as he took the documents from me. “You can put those away for now. I'll sign them just before we leave.”“I have to get back to work. I have only a few minutes to spend here.” I argued, shielding my breasts with my arm which I crossed over my chest. I wanted to claw his eyes out. He knew damned well that I was uncomfortable with his eyes on my chest like that, but he obviously didn't care because his eyes kept dropping there for peeks at my chest every few seconds.“I'm sure you can get the afternoon off, Aria. This deal is worth millions, are you sure you want to throw it away just to hurry back to work?” My jaw ti
