Her Face, My Wife's Shadow Chapter 91: I'm beginning to suspect Aria might be Isabella.
Alexander's POV “Are you out of your damn mind?” Williams shot to his feet, his expression contorting with disbelief. He stared at me as though I'd just confessed to committing another unforgivable crime. “I told you to give her space and time, Alex—not to ask her to be your friend or start over.” He dragged both hands through his hair, his frustration evident in every movement. “Good God, man. What exactly goes on inside that head of yours? Do you honestly believe she’ll welcome your sudden change of heart after everything you've put her through?”I sank deeper into the soft leather, rubbing my forehead. “Keep your voice down.”“Keep my voice down?” he repeated, his eyebrows shooting upward. “Perhaps I should throw something at you. Maybe that'll knock some sense into that thick skull of yours.” He dropped onto the leather beside me.“Are you finished?”“Not even close.”I released a weary breath and tipped my head against the backrest. The past few hours had been nothing short o
Her Face, My Wife's Shadow Chapter 90: Can we start over?
Aria's POV The woman rose from the sofa happily, her white thighs coming into view. “Hi, so you're Mrs. Sterling.” Her voice was sweet enough to capture a man's heart in a second. “It's a pleasure to meet you. I've been wanting to meet you for quite some time, and I've heard a lot about you. I'm delighted to learn that you're an architect.” She extended her hand. I examined her for a brief moment before accepting her warm hand. “It's nice to meet you, too.”“I'm Juliet, by the way.”“I'm….”“I know.” She laughed lightly. “Who doesn't know Mrs. Isabella Sterling? The woman who miraculously came back to life after so many years—everyone thought she was dead.” I forced a smile. “Oh, girl. I'm so happy for you. I'm glad you survived.”Alexander rose from his chair and approached us. “Miss Juliet is the daughter of one of my business partners and our new client. She’s interested in commissioning a hotel project, and the architectural department will be handling the design.” I looked
Her Face, My Wife's Shadow Chapter 89: The Sexy Client
Aria's POV I turned my gaze to see Joy and Lucy approaching me, their arms laden with files. “Hey,” I greeted them. “Are you alright, Mrs Sterling?” Joy asked, concern creasing her forehead. “The last time you visited our house, you looked terrible. You seemed frightened too. I wanted to check on you, but I realized I didn't have your current phone number.”“I’m fine. I'll ask Jane to send you my contact information.”Lucy shifted the folders against her hip. “We were worried about you when you left so abruptly without explaining anything to us.Guilt settled in my chest. I hadn't intended to alarm them. I only wanted to confirm if they were safe or not. And I didn't want to burden them with my problems.“Don't worry, I'm fine now.” I assured them, smiling. “It was nothing serious.”Joy gave me a doubtful look. “Nothing serious? You looked as though someone was chasing you.”“Anyway, let's forget that.” Lucy tried to change the topic to ease the tension. “How was your grandfather-
Her Face, My Wife's Shadow Chapter 88: The Sterling Holdings
Aria's POV The following morning, greetings followed me all the way to the executive floor.“Good morning, Mrs. Sterling.”“Good morning, Ma'am.”Some employees bowed their heads, others offered me a bright smile, while a few stopped just to greet me. I acknowledged them with a polite expression.Finally, I arrived in my office, ready to lock myself away from the world. My files landed on the desk with a soft thud as I sank in the chair. I loosened the collar of my blouse and rubbed the back of my neck.The previous two hours had been consumed by a meeting with my architectural team. We discussed revisions, construction schedules, material costs, and several concerns regarding the latest project. Ordinarily, I enjoyed those discussions. Architecture was one of the few things that still made sense in my complicated life. However, I didn't expect today's meeting would be draining. I took my phone and scrolled through social media to keep myself busy as I rested for a while. Then I no
Her Face, My Wife's Shadow Chapter 87: This Stays Between Us
Aria's POV I offered her a warm smile that never reached my eyes. “That’s an interesting question, considering you haven't offered me a single word of gratitude.”“Gratitude?”“Yes. I just helped prevent a disaster at your family's celebration. Instead of thanking me, you spent the evening standing there, waiting for me to be dragged away in handcuffs.”“Be careful how you speak to me, young lady!” “Oh, my bad. Now you want respect? I thought you had forgotten what that word meant when you decided to make my life miserable.”“Isabella!” She advanced a step, and I didn't retreat.“Don't you dare raise your voice at me. I don't know what kind of woman I was five years ago,” I continued, moving closer, "But the person standing in front of you now isn't someone you can intimidate whenever you feel like it.”I saw the anger burning in her eyes. “Have you forgotten who you're speaking to?”“Not at all. I'm speaking to a woman who has mistaken my patience for weakness. Tell me something, M
Her Face, My Wife's Shadow Chapter 86: Face to Face
Aria's POV “Does that woman deserve any mercy?” An elderly guest demanded, her voice carrying across the ballroom. “She should be handed over to the police and answer for her crimes and conspiracy.”Beatrice remained rooted to the spot; the smug confidence she had worn all evening disappeared from her face. The young woman's confession, coupled with the recording James had presented, had shattered every excuse she could have offered. But even with the evidence stacked against her, she refused to accept defeat gracefully.“I don't want her to go to prison,” I announced. Faces swung in my direction while Beatrice’s expression flickered with hope. “If she kneels before me and apologizes publicly, I’ll consider the matter settled.”Her face darkened as she shrieked. “Never! I would rather die than kneel before a lowlife like you!”“Beatrice!” Mr. Walker seized her arm. “That's enough!” He hissed through clenched teeth. “Do as she asks, and let's leave. You’ve humiliated me in front of
Her Face, My Wife's Shadow Chapter 5: She Belongs To Me
Alexander's POV The four men froze, when they saw my men. They were outnumbered and outgunned. The leader looked around, his eyes wide behind his mask. He realised he had walked into a trap. One by one, the intruders let their weapons clatter onto the marble floor. My men rushed in, pinning them d
Her Face, My Wife's Shadow Chapter 4: Drop The Guns. Now!
Alexander’s POV I leaned my head back against the chair, closing my eyes. Inside this room, I had spent the last four hours staring at both Isabella Grey file records, a spy who once worked for a syndicate and Aria Bennett file records, a top-tier architect from New York. The dates didn't make
Her Face, My Wife's Shadow Chapter 3: Going Somewhere, Miss Aria
Aria's POV Where did that memory come from? I remember when I grew up in the United States. I remembered my fifth birthday party with the lopsided cake; my graduation; my dad's burial; and every detail of my life in New York from the time I was a little girl until now. So why was my brain showing
Her Face, My Wife's Shadow Chapter 2: The Dark Mole
Aria's POV My life in New York was simple. I worked hard day and night to become the woman I am now. I was good at my job because I believed in facts and logic. But looking at that wedding photo, logic was dead. I raised my trembling hand, trying to touch the portrait. But stop in mid-air, foldi
