LOGINRonan’s POV Nothing is going to change our plans this time. This date is going to happen no matter what. I have it all planned out, perfectly planned out. Reina is currently staying with my parents. I had to haul her ass over there and she went screaming and shouting about wanting to stay with Aria but I wasn’t having it. I wanted my girl to myself. If Reina is home, her attention would be divided with Reina taking most of it. Yes, I’m jealous of my daughter. Very jealous. Much like Aria’s brother, Adrian, Aurora has been nowhere to be found for a while now. Since her plan went to shit, since I confronted her after she sent that letter to our resort, I made it clear to her that we were over, and she can get whatever fantasy she has out of her goddamn mind because it was not going to happen. We haven’t heard from her since then. Reina has been asking questions and I have been repeating the same goddamn answers to her every single time. “Mummy has work.” “Mummy is on an internati
Aria’s POV I’m nervous. Sweaty palms, accelerated heartbeat kind of nervous. I turn to face Mia. “I don’t think I can do this,” I announce. She laughs. “I’m glad you find this funny.” Because I don’t. “No, this is hilarious.” She says with a laugh. “Why are you so nervous? What is there to be nervous about?” She asks. Everything. What if he doesn’t show up? What if he does show up and is uninterested? What if I’m too late?What if he doesn’t love me anymore? What if he doesn’t want me anymore? Maybe he hates me already. Or…maybe he found someone else. “I can hear you thinking about complete nonsense all the way from here, Aria and I need you to snap out of it. You are being ridiculous.” Mia says. If you haven’t figured out what’s going on yet, I will spell it out to you. I’m here, standing in front of Club Luna, where it all started, where it all began, where my life took a turn for the better. Literally where my life changed forever. I’m standing here again, trying t
Aria’s POV “THE DISOWNED TRAFFORD PRINCE: DAMIEN TRAFFORD HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM ALL POSITIONS WITHIN AND OUTSIDE THE TRAFFORD COMPANIES.”The news headlines have been like this for the past three days. Everyone has been talking about why Damien was disowned. Thankfully, they never released the real reason behind the whole thing. Just something about serious ethical misconduct and his concealment of criminal actions. I don’t know what I would have done if the real reasons for his disowning were broadcast for the whole world to see. I won’t be able to handle the attention and I honestly don’t want it. Damien’s reputation has been ruined beyond repair, every rumor, every allegation, and accusation that the media has been circulating gets worse by the day and I have sat down here in this room watching every brand he worked with release public statements, renouncing him as their brand ambassador or face of the brand. Maybe it’s not the way I wished justice was served but I’m glad he is
Ronan’s POV Everyone is here. Everyone that matters is here. Every major board member, my mum, grandma, my dad, and the lawyers. We have been waiting for Damien to show up but as usual, he’s late. He doesn’t know what he will be walking into today. He doesn’t have any idea what the agenda of today’s meeting is but he did receive the text to show up to the board meeting since he is one of the major shareholders of the company. After waiting for about twenty minutes, Damien walks in, looking put together in his black tailored tuxedo. He cleans up nicely, enough that you can’t tell that he is responsible for the death of two people. “Sorry, I’m a little late.” He announces with a charming smile that previously, would have had the board eating right out of his hands. “I got stuck in traffic.”“Take your seat, Damien.” My father’s gruff voice fills the boardroom. Damien nods and silently takes his seat. I don’t miss the disappointed look my grandma sends his way. “Now that Damien is
Ronan’s POV “Daddyyyy!! You are not listening.” Reina literally screams down my ears. Truly, I wasn’t listening. The last thing I remember hearing was something about some watercolors. I’m at my parents’ house. I have been here for some days now. I couldn’t go back home after everything went to shit with Aria. So I went to a hotel but it was hell. It was silent. Too silent. It wasn’t filled with Aria. I didn’t realize how much she fills my world with colors till she wasn’t in my world anymore.Her little sighs of happiness when she sees something pleasing on her phone. Her little giggles and laughs when she watches something funny on TikTok. The random kisses. The random demand for coffee or hot chocolate. The soft hum that escapes her lips every time she does her skincare routine. The cheesy selfies follow a satisfying routine. And the way she chatters on and on about things I can’t make sense of but I would rather cut off my right arm than not listen to her. I miss her.
Aria’s POV I don’t know how long I have been standing by this window just staring into nothing. I haven’t stepped out of this room since Ronan broke the news to me. I haven’t done much since I broke the news. All I do is stare into space and just allow myself to wallow in my sadness. I have been throwing a pity party. Every single day. You want to know what’s even crazier? I don’t think the truth mattered much to me. I used to think something dramatic would happen when I finally found out the truth about my parents’ accident, like the sky would turn pink or the earth would stop spinning in circles. I don’t know, just something very drastic. But nothing changed. Nothing happened. I don’t even feel anything. Maybe because I never really knew those people and one of the reasons why I wanted to find out the truth was to show Adrian that I didn’t kill them. Even though his claims were obviously atrocious. I miss Ronan.I miss him so much. I literally see him everywhere. Every time
Ronan's POV I let her go. I let her go. She was right here. I had her in my arms, right where I wanted her to be, scratch that, where I need her to be, where she should be and I just let her go. Just like that. I thought I had this whole thing planned out. I was going to talk to her, try to ta
Aria’s POVIt is warm in here. A little too warm. But it’s nice, it’s just the right temperature, not too hot and not too warm. I turn and try to snuggle deeper into my duvet. I end up pressing my cheeks into the familiar smell of Ronan’s cologne— clean, woody with a faint hint of vanilla and c
Aria’s POV One week later! One week, two million plus followers on Instagram, another million followers on X, over ten thousand direct messages on Instagram, and just as many on X. A blog post stated that scandal loves me, and I actually found it hilarious. Sebastian called the day the news bro
Ronan’s POVMaybe I fucked up. Okay, I did fuck up. To be fair, I was trying to help her. It didn’t even cross my mind that she would be mad about it. I didn’t think too hard about it. I just did it. I was present at a board meeting with Lumiere Global and the creative director kept going on and
