Her Stepbrother’s Desire, Her husband’s Obsession Chapter 18
Aria startled at the sudden white flash and immediately swiveled her head to look in the direction it came from. That was a bad idea. There were four men with cameras and flashing lights, running over from the other side of the street. Hartie must have called them in, possibly to have them ask how she could enter Kumari, possibly to highlight how low she was on their hierarchical food chain. Or maybe just to embarrass her. The snake was unpredictable like that. Aston just stood still, barely even shifting at the rapid flashes of white that lit Aria and him up like they were at a disco. There was now commotion in the street. People turned to look at what celebrity the paparazzi were harassing. Even cars slowed down and phones came up in the hopes to record for clout. Aria raised her mask back on her face, far too late. She was no celebrity, but she had experienced so many ambushes that her natural fight or flight activated. Her heart pounded and her legs moved without any

“You must be my wife’s lovely family,” the voice rolled out like steel coated in velvet. Aria’s every nerve was completely keyed to Aston’s hand on her shoulder. The warmth radiated directly as though there weren’t multiple layers of clothes on her, like she’d been branded. She turned her head up to confirm and her breath caught in her throat. He was cloaked head to toe, a dark coat hanging off his broad shoulders, a cap pulled low over his eyes, a mask identical to hers in place. Not a single trace of his face was visible. And yet, somehow, his presence eclipsed the whole booth. Hartie blinked once. Just once. But in that single blink, Aria saw it, the falter in her composure, the flicker of something she’d never seen in Hartie before. Hunger. Interest.She hadn’t even seen Aston’s face yet she was already attracted to him. The sight of it made something curl in Aria’s gut, it was a feeling adjacent to possessiveness. She hated him, but she hated Hartie more. She didn’t like

Aria’s lips pressed into a thin line. The sharp sting of her mother’s words could have been paralyzing, if she let it. But she refused. She had spent years clawing herself out of ruin, out of the reputations others tried to suffocate her with. She would not let Camille’s venom touch her tonight.Hartie, as always, was the calmer one, the more calculating one. Their mother hated Aria too much to be properly cold when she was involved. She stepped slightly forward, her hand brushing against Camille’s arm to keep her back. They lowered themselves into the empty seats in the booth. Hartie’s gaze, deceptively warm but sharp, a gaze Aria had been tricked by many times in the past, landed on Aria with an almost imperceptible patience. “Aria,” Hartie said softly, “don’t let mom’s words make you sad. We just need information. About your… marriage.”Aria’s eyebrows shot up. “You mean, to who in the Beaumont clan I married? Isn’t the great Rothschild clan good enough to figure it out?”Hartie

"Why did you get married?", he asked, his eyes narrowed and grave, the pressure she felt in his presence magnifying. It was like being faced with a giant mountain."Why do people get married Liam? Love, obviously", she scrunched her eyebrows, making sure to sound like she thought he was foolish for asking her the question in the first place.She needed his help, yes. But he was seeing her for the third time since she came back from France, and every single time, he had managed to make her feel caged or humiliated. Liam scoffed, as though her words were funny. "Don't lie to me, Aria. Is the man your little bastard's father?", he asked, something swimming in his eyes, something Aria couldn't properly interpret. Did he just fucking call her Asher a bastard? Did he just call his son a little bastard?Not only had he left her in the dirt five years ago, but he was now also insulting her son. Insulting the most important person in her life. Because of his hatred for her ring and the conno

The Uber slowed to a crawl as the driver turned down the narrow road that sliced through downtown Los Altos. The further they went, the more the street seemed to shift, it was less neon, less noise, and more quiet wealth seeping from the bones of the buildings.Aria leaned against the window, her mask warm against her face, her thoughts louder than the hum of the car.Kumari.Kumari was this extremely expensive, and extremely exclusive bar that only the elite got to be in. Even the children of powerful people weren’t allowed in, only with a certain level of connections could you get in.There was another bar right beside it, Lumari. It was practically a giant fuck you to the owner of Kumari, because Lumari was also for the elite, but at least just normal classy people could get in. Only connections got you into Kumari, and Aria's only connection was probably upstairs.The driver pulled over. “This the spot?”Aria’s pulse thrummed. She glanced at the towering black façade of Kumari, t

Aria sat at her dress up mirror long after Liam’s first message, staring at her phone like it was a venomous snake. Every second she hesitated felt like a trap closing in on her. Her chest tightened as she swooped her hair up into a tight bun, dusting some light foundation on her face before donning a face mask. She wasn’t going to see him because she missed him. She wasn’t. She was going because he had mentioned the Beaumont name, and if there was one person alive that could measure high up enough to dig up dirt on that man, it was Liam Rothschild. And if he decided not to help her, she still had Mr. Adams to dangle. Her fingers hovered over the screen, looking through their short thread of messages. A: “You’re really concerned about my marriage” L: “And you’re testing my patience, Aria. I’m at Kumari. It’s your call”The nerve.Aria’s teeth sank into her bottom lip until she tasted copper. For a split second, she considered hurling her phone against the wall and almost de
