Her Face, My Wife's Shadow Chapter 50: The Enemy's Obsession
Alexander's POV Williams and I moved through the building, keeping low as bullets struck the walls around us. We fired at anyone who crossed our path. My heart hammered against my ribs, not because of the gunfight. Because Aria was here, and she was dangerously close to David. He was the last man I wanted anywhere near her.We finally reached the upper level, and I heard a familiar voice.“Stop right there!”My feet stopped. I looked ahead. Aria stood in the middle with her hands raised. While David was aiming the gun at her. I clenched my fist as my blood ran cold. He stared at her as if the rest of the world had disappeared. I knew that look. And now the woman he believed was dead was standing in front of him. He knew she was alive and trying all his best to get her. He wanted to see for himself if she's truly her. He lowered his gun and opened his arms. He was going to touch her. Never.
Her Face, My Wife's Shadow Chapter 49: The War
Aria's POV Everything happened at once. I ducked just as another gunshot rang through the air. My heart pounded so much that I could hear it in my ears.“Mrs Sterling, move.” One of the men took my arm and pulled me away.“But Alexander…”“We don't have time. We need to get you out of here.”BANG!Another gunshot exploded somewhere behind us. The sound seemed to come from inside the building. And Alexander was still in there. I had no idea whether he was safe or not.“Come on! Let's go,” another guard shouted as he moved in front of me, using his body as a shield while the others surrounded me. “Keep your head down, Mrs Sterling.”I obeyed, crouching slightly as they hurried me away from the building. Every instinct screamed at me to turn around, but the guards kept pushing me forward. “Keep moving!” The lead guard ordered. The sand beneath my slippers was rough and uneven; th
Her Face, My Wife's Shadow Chapter 48: Get Down!
Aria's POV The drive home was quiet. Mila sat beside me, occasionally glancing in my direction while working on her laptop. “I heard about what happened today,” she said without looking up. “Don't let that woman get to you.”“She's the last person I'm going to think about.” I watched through the windscreen.“So what's really bothering you?”I hesitated before answering. “It's Mr Sterling.”Her fingers stopped moving across the keyboard as she looked up. “What about him? Did he shout at you for accepting Mrs Grey's invitation?”“Not that. I haven't heard from him since last night.”“Are you worried about him?”“No.” I immediately shook my head. “Never.”“Hmmm.” Mila nodded her head.“I think he might be busy,” I added quickly. “I'm sure he'll come tonight.”“And what if he does? The both of you will start an argument again. Besides, why did you accept her invitation in the first place? According to the rumours I heard, that old woman never liked Isabella. I wonder what she will do t
Her Face, My Wife's Shadow Chapter 47: An Enemy Invitation
Aria's POV I wanted to ask everything, but the timing wasn't right. After they had left, I looked at my wristwatch.1:30 p.m.I exhaled slowly. I stepped out of the roof and walked through the corridor. The staff hurried between departments carrying files and tablets. I slowed down my steps, watching them.I wish I was just one of them, living my normal life. THUD!I accidentally bumped into someone. “I'm sorry,” I apologised, stepping back. An elderly woman stood before me. She wore an expensive, floor-length gown covered with delicate and sparkling beads. Her silver-white hair was pulled neatly into a bun, revealing the sharp angles of her face. A pair of glasses rested low on her nose. She carried a designer handbag looped around her arm.But it was her expression that caught my attention.Her eyes travelled slowly over my face. Then her lips curled with bitter satisfaction.“I didn't have to stress myself much to find you, Isabella.”My brows drew together. “Excuse me, ma'a
Her Face, My Wife's Shadow Chapter 46: Trapped in Her Shadow
Aria's POV My heart tightened painfully inside my chest.“Also, please don't see me as your CEO's wife. See me as your mentor and the head of this department.”“She hasn't changed a bit, even though she lost her memory.”"Wow! I love the new Isabella.” “She has become so much bolder and braver.” The murmurs came from every corner.I kept my expression calm, even though every word made guilt twist tighter inside me. They believed I was her. And I was standing there, accepting their admiration for a woman I wasn't.I forced a fake smile and continued through the department, greeting employees, answering questions whenever I could and doing my best to play the role Alexander expected me to play. By the time the tour was over, I was exhausted. Eventually, I returned to my office and lowered myself into the soft leather chair behind the large desk.I looked around. The office was exactly to my taste––professional and organised. I ran my fingers over the smooth armrest and let out a b
Her Face, My Wife's Shadow Chapter 45: The New Isabella
Aria's POV Jane smiled politely.“Mr Sterling has already left for a meeting. He should be back this afternoon.”For some reason, I felt happy hearing about his whereabouts. At least I will see him today. I have a lot of questions for him. She glanced at me again. “In the meantime, HR will escort you to your department.” Her eyes remained fixed on my face. She kept staring, almost studying me. I noticed it and felt uncomfortable.“Miss Jane, is there something you want to ask?” I looked directly at her eyeball.“Well...” Jane blinked nervously and looked away. “Go ahead and ask.”“I'm sorry, Mrs Sterling. I was just wondering… which department you'll be joining.” She swallowed hard. “Years ago, you worked in the IT department. I thought perhaps you'd return there… or maybe become…” her voice became smaller. “The CEO's secretary.”His secretary? I’d rather become a gatekeeper than stay close to him. “You don't have to worry, Jane. I'm not planning to take your position.”“No! T

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
Her Face, My Wife's Shadow Chapter 1: The Woman With My Face
Aria’s POV I adjusted the strap of my handbag as I stepped out of the terminal, my eyes scanning the unfamiliar city in Australia. The sun was warm against my skin, but it did little to calm the strange unease twisting inside my stomach. This was my first international project as an architect. Th

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
