ARIA

“I need to take this.” I muttered to Caspian.

He shifted his head onto the pillow and pulled me closer as I answered the call and pressed the phone against my ears.

“Reed?” I asked carefully.

“Aria. I had expected that you'd reach out to me sooner than this.” Reed’s voice was threaded with equal parts anger and unhappy realization. “I didn't think you were really serious.”

I gasped suddenly as Caspian caught my thighs and spread them wide, pulling me over his face.

What the hell was he doing?

I cleared my throat. “I was serious. It was your decision to make, and I didn't want to force your hand.”

“I guess I wanted you to force my hand. I miss you and I miss the kids. Can I come to see them?”

Reed’s voice was drowned out towards the end. Caspian paid no attention, as he slid my panties down my legs.

I stabbed the mute button on my phone and glowered down at Caspian. “What are you doing?”

“Nothing. Focus on your call.” His thumb pressed between my legs, right on my clit an

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    177. RELIEF AND TENSION TWINNED

    ARIAThe first thing I felt was the pounding in my head. Then the weight in my chest, heavy enough to keep me still. The pain was explosive somewhere in my forehead. It took me a second to realize I wasn’t in my car anymore. White walls, bright lights, and the faint smell of antiseptic.I was in the hospital.I blinked slowly, my eyes adjusting, and that’s when I saw Xander sitting in a chair across the room.“You’re awake,” he said, standing. His voice was calm, but his eyes weren’t. They were staring at me as though he was worried I would die.Considering the pain in my side, I wasn't sure that I wouldn't. I tried to speak, but my throat burned. “What happened?”He moved closer, resting a hand on the bedrail. “You were in an accident. But you’re fine now. Caspian…” He stopped and looked toward the door. “He’ll be back in a minute.”“Xander.” My voice came out rough, and I hated how weak I sounded. “What happened?”He hesitated. I could see the answer in his face before he spoke.

    CASPIANXander moved closer. “What do you want to do?”“What the fuck do you think?” I asked, frowning at him. “Find Rowan. He can't get away with doing that to her.”Duke’s voice came over the line again. “Caspian, listen to me. If Rowan is involved in this, he’s desperate. That makes him dangerous.”“I’m dangerous too.” I ended the call before Duke could say more.I didn't want him to try convincing me, I wasn't going to be convinced. Xander didn’t try to stop me. He just fell in step as I headed for the elevator, my phone already in my hand, dialing Markus again.“Track every camera between that store and Rowan’s last known location. I want eyes on him in ten minutes.”“I’m working on it,” Markus said. “But if he’s switched cars again, it might take a while.”“You’ve got five minutes,” I snapped and ended the call.The elevator doors opened. I stepped in and turned to Xander. “Stay here. If anything changes with Aria, call me.”“Caspian…”“I said stay.” My tone left no room for a

    ARIAThe bastard had the guts to smirk at me. “Think about it, Aria. Think about them, they deserve a family.”“They have one. It's just not with you, and it never will be.” I said coldly. “Aria! Don't try me. You won't get another chance like this.” I could hear the warning in Rowan’s voice and it made me stop. “What are you going to do that you haven't already done, Rowan?” His mouth curved, but there was no humor in it. “There are so many things I could do. Don’t make me have to do them.”“You mean like threatening me in public? Because that’s what this looks like.” I took a step closer, staring at him the way you stare at something you’re ready to burn to the ground. “You don’t scare me anymore.”“You should be scared,” he said as his hand shot out, closing around my arm. His fingers dug in, hard enough to leave bruises. He pulled me closer until I could feel his breath on my face. “You don’t know what you’re playing with.”I didn’t think or even pause to reconsider. I slapped

    ARIA The first thing I felt when I woke was heat. Strong, steady heat, and the weight of an arm thrown across my waist like it owned me. It was Caspian. For a second, I just stared at him. He was asleep, bare chest rising and falling, his jaw hard even in rest. He looked like nothing could touch him. I hated that it made me feel safe. My body moved before my brain caught up. I traced a line down his chest with my fingertips. His lashes flicked up, and his grey eyes locked on mine. The kind that stripped you down even when you were already naked under the sheets. “Couldn’t sleep?” His voice was gravel, thick with sleep. “Something like that.” His hand slid from my waist to my thigh in one slow drag. That was all it took. One pull and I was under him as his mouth crushed mine. The kiss wasn’t sweet, and it wasn’t careful. It was teeth, tongue, and the sound of the headboard hitting the wall. His hands pinned mine above my head like I’d ever get away from him, and he

    CASPIAN Getting the kids into the car was easy enough. Grandma called me aside for a moment, her eyes fixed on them. “Those are Aria’s kids?” She asked, still staring as Nyx helped Nylah first and then Lark into their seats.. “Yes, they are.” “They're gorgeous,” she murmured. “They look familiar. I have a feeling I've seen them before.” “I don't believe you have, Grandma. Aria barely lets them out of her sight.” I leaned in and brushed my lips over her cold cheeks. “I'll take them home now.” I walked away, flexing my fingers so they didn't fist up at my sides. Camilla and Aria’s father were long gone, Zara had left with Talia like a drenched rat. But the anger stayed inside my chest like a dead weight. The night was supposed to be perfect. It had almost been perfect, but her family had to ruin it as always. Aria was still in the front seat, looking like she'd just managed to fall asleep, instead of fainting right out front the cold pool. “Is mommy okay?” Lark asked, bi

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    172. INTO THE COLD

    ARIAThe air was knocked straight out of my lungs.Maybe I was even trapped in ice because I didn't even get a second to scream. Vaguely, I realized I could still hear the music from the party even underwater. I kicked hard, breathing the surface of the water, fighting my dress which wrapped around me, and tried to drag me back into the water. I could see that Zara was standing right by the edge, smiling like she had just won a prize, like she hasn't just shoved me into the cold pool.She bent, her perfect manicure resting on her knees, her eyes smug with satisfaction. “What's wrong, Aria? You didn't see that coming? Caspian isn't here to save you?” My stomach tightened with anger. For half a second, I considered walking away, and then I remembered every moment Zara has done this, every moment she had held power over me. Never again. I didn't answer her, instead, I climbed out of the pool, the water pooling around my legs. Zara’s smirk widened into a smile. “Oh, you look soaked
