ARIA

I rushed home from the hospital, hopeful. The house came into view. I walked past the gates, grinning wide.

I met my clothes on the ground, right outside, and I froze. They were soaked and torn.

I dropped to my knees, fingers trembling as I picked up my scarf.

Rowan opened the door. “I was just about to have someone burn your trash,” he said, coldly.

I looked up at him, heart sinking even as I smiled up at him, eager to announce my good news. “I’m pregnant, Rowan! We can finally have the child we've always wanted.”

His face registered repulsion and hate. The door opened behind him and Zara stepped out in a skimpy, lacy rope.

Rowan scowled. “Liar.”

I shook my head, fumbling in my bag for the test results. “It’s true. Look, I have the test results.”

Zara’s displeased face twisted angrily. “Whose is it? You think being pregnant makes you special?”

Rowan laughed. It was cruel. “You expect me to believe that? A slut like you? Didn't you just sleep with another man a few weeks ago?”

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    67. RENT-FREE IN MY HEAD

    ARIAI felt my heart harden as I listened to her concerned voice.“Camilla?” I said, breaking into her sobs.“Aria? Are you on the way? Please come now. Hurry.” She kept repeating.“Camilla!” I snapped.When she became quiet, I told her plainly. “I don't care if your daughter hangs herself from the roof. I just don't care. Please leave me alone.” I heard the stunned silence from her end, but I didn't care. The last time I saw Zara, she tried to kill my daughter.Why on earth would I do anything to help a woman like that? “You're truly heartless, Aria. You have no grace and I curse the day I met you.”I chuckled. “I could also curse the day you married my father, Camilla. But that would be too much trouble. You're nothing to me, I don't care if you live or die and that applies to your daughter too. Call the cops if she really needs help.” I hissed.I ended the call, my chest rising and falling fast as I returned to my cooking. I wasn't taking myself back to that house for anything,

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    66. MINE AND MINE ALONE

    ARIA“What do you mean?” I questioned, forcing the words out of my tight throat.“I mean that you'll be mine. Mine and mine alone because I don't share, Aria.” How could he sound so good and yet so bad at the same time.I gulped, pushing my chair back. “I think I should go. It's getting late, and the children will be tired by now.” He shrugged, standing too. “You can't keep running, Aria. I won't let you.” He dropped us off at home and during the entire ride, he kept the kids engaged. When we got home, after parking, he went to the car’s boot and came back with bags which he handed to me.“These are for the kids. New toys and whatever else Analide thought kids would like.” Caspian said. My eyes widened. “When did you even have the time to do this?” I gasped.“Analide did it this time. You can thank her when you see her.” With those words, he bent and hugged the kids. “Be good to mommy, okay?”“Yes, Prince Caspian.” Nylah said shyly. “Prince?” I asked, laughing softly.“Yes, beca

    ARIAThe twins snuggled deeper into my arms at my harsh words.Caspian was still looking from me to the twins like he had seen the strangest thing possible.“Caspian?” I asked, standing and handing the children to Meredith. They followed her, looking from me to Caspian.I turned to them, kissing and smiling at them to let them know that everything was okay. “I'll be back, my babies. This man is mom’s boss.” When they both nodded, I turned to Caspian.“Can we have this conversation a few steps away from my children?” I said, walking away without giving him a choice but to follow.A few steps away, I saw his car parked beside mine. I heaved a long sigh, my heart fluttering in my chest in panic or in something else I didn't know.“You followed me from work here, didn't you?” I questioned harshly. “That is an invasion of my privacy, Caspian.”“An invasion of your privacy? When were you going to tell me you have kids? Two of them too!” He asked, his jaw locked tight.I grimaced. “There w

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    64. ANGER AND REALISATIONS

    CASPIANI couldn't remember the last time I'd felt so stupid and disappointed in myself.I saw Aria in my car mirror, sagging gently as I drove away. Maybe I shouldn't have shouted in her face.I considered going back to her, but I decided against it. I had heard her. She had said it. How could she say that to Xander and still kiss me like she couldn't have enough of my taste? I arrived at the office, leaving instructions with Analide that I would be working from home.I picked up the files I needed and left the office. When I arrived at home, my front door was already open. My butler, Patrick met me at the door. “Welcome back, Mr. Finnick. Miss Micheal is here to see you.”Talia? What the hell was she doing at my house? “Where is she?” I asked. “In the living room. She's been waiting about an hour so far.” I nodded and found Talia in the living room. She was sleeping on the couch, looking very innocent and soft. Since her suspension, this was the first time I was seeing her. I

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    63. "YOU WISH I WASN'T YOUR BEAU?"

    ARIAI felt my knees knock together as I realized Caspian was very very angry. His eyes glinted and flashed dangerously as he prowled closer. “What? You have nothing to say in your defense?” He barked at me. I wrinkled my forehead. “Why would I defend myself? I haven't done anything wrong.” Caspian’s frame towered over me as he stretched a hand and anchored them into my hair. His nails grazed my scalp and I shivered in reaction. I bit my lip, gazing up at him stubbornly. “What are you going, Caspian?” He pushed me away so that I stumbled. I barely held myself up and looked at him in shock.What the fuck was that about? “Caspian? Are you okay? Are you drunk?” I questioned, anger replacing the confusion I'd been feeling moments ago. He smiled, but his eyes were cold as ice. There was no emotion on his face. “Maybe I am. What? Would you prefer Xander to replace me in the shoot?” What was he talking about? This was the second time he had mentioned Xander. “You shoved me. I don't

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    62. BELLE DUTIES

    ARIAThe next day was the photoshoot. Like Caspian had said, I didn't have to go to work, so I spent the morning with Nylah and Lark. My mind kept rushing back to the phone call we'd had last night, and it took a deal of effort to calm myself down. I was nervous, excited, jittery and angry all at once. I didn't want to want Caspian, but it was looking like my self-control was non-existent around him. Nylah and Lark were still subdued from the confrontation with Rowan, so I allowed them to stay home from school.I assured them several times that Rowan would never take them away from me.I called Mara from home to cancel all my appointments and spent the morning taking care of myself and my babies, by doing a home spa day with skin care, manicure and pedicure.It was fun and we ended up laughing a lot and eating the nuts that Reed had bought.The first sign of trouble was when my phone rang and I saw that it was Camilla, my step-mother.Camilla barely called me, so seeing her call,
