Mr. Adams’ office was irritating to be in. That was what Aria had thought when she entered, and that was what she still thinking now, even as she sat imperiously in his seat.

The leather was squishy and low, guaranteed to give her backache if she continued sitting in it, but she wasn’t doing it to be comfortable.

She tapped her fingers against the desk, pointedly ignoring the man crumpled on his knees in front of her that making small strangled noises like a cat being stepped on.

    The floor thudded dully with every step Aria took towards the villa library, echoing with a grave silence that threatened to make her crash out. She had always been an arsonist, right from when she was ten and discovered that curtains burned pretty. Arthur had corrected it to no avail, and when he noticed it seemed to be her passion, he let her be, and simply…mobilized her talents to other places it was needed in. He got a creative way to get rid of his enemies without evidence, and Aria got to exorcise the spirit of fire inside her. It had reduced greatly when she started designing, which confused her as to why he had brought her back from France to marry Aston. She couldn’t disobey him. But he should have been smart enough to know her life in France was the only thing standing between his precious granddaughter and multiple counts of murder. She took a deep breath and opened the door slowly, like Aston was going to pop out like “I know what you did to those people, you awful

    Aria was panicking. Sure she listened raptly to all Asher had to say about his spy mission, sure she hugged him tight and warned him to always call her before he “followed daddy”, sure she had coaxed him to sleep. That didn’t mean she wouldn’t panic. Especially since Aston hadn’t gotten out yet. She had timed and strategized it according to the might of his men, and she expected them to come out hoisting him on their shoulders, not fucking Zaphen Eastwood. She had played the part of a concerned wife, asking where he was and what was going on with all the anxiety she could muster. It wasn’t hard to pretend. She hadn’t thought this through. She had looked at Aston properly when she grabbed him by the tie and damn, damn, DAMN her weakness for pretty things. She had gone soft, and delayed the timing of the explosion, so he’d escape. She didn’t expect him to escape with all his screws on correctly, but she at least wanted him to live. If for nothing else, at least to expla

    He shook his head. Her tenacity these days had gotten into his head. Aria couldn’t have set a whole building on the path to explode, not under five minutes, not when it had taken her a full five minutes to open his study door. He had many more enemies that could get that done in less than 30 seconds. His men looked at him in confusion. “Sir, we didn’t get this briefing”, Gardner said, his tone slightly accusatory. Aston was too busy thinking up the person who would have that kind of gall to hear it. There was no one in this building who would think to set the building up for an explosion, after all, everybody had a little something to gain from everyone in there. “Apparently, neither did I. Forest 1, Get out, take Eastwood along”, he ordered. “Forest 2, find the Griffins and make sure they’re safe.” He needed to get to the bottom of the fire, he couldn’t let such a volatile enemy live. Arthur’s beloved granddaughter was here only roughly five minutes ago. It had to be a targe

    Warning for this chapter: Death and bloodOh? “I’m going to give you five minutes to get to the car with me and Asher. Five minutes, Beaumont.” Aston had never been so confused by a single human in his entire lifetime. Three weeks ago she was a scared mess pretending to be strong in front of the Rothschilds, and now she was in front of him, her ultimate threat, and a bunch of violent, disgusting people, and she was bold enough to grab him by the throat? He was intrigued. He was captivated. He wanted to pierce her skull with a knife and see what went on in her little brain. “We’re making a lot of demands today, aren’t we?”, he cocked his head, settling his hands on hers and relishing in the way her knuckles flexed like she wanted to punch him. Aston felt a strange backwards curiosity, he wanted to know what her small fists would feel like on his face. Would they be as soft as she really was inside or would they sting as fiery as she was feeling right now? Questions. Que

    “Nice try, but I’m not leaving till you explain what kind of shitshow this is and why you brought my Asher in here”, Aria whispered harshly, only loud enough for Aston to hear.Aston’s lips had been curled in amusement ever since Aria got into the room, and her every action made the curl go deeper.It WAS a shitshow. A shitshow that was almost cancelled this year.The thing is, every single soul in the room owed Aston Beaumont something important. Their lives.And they knew that much, which is why they had stayed away from the public and any meetings that Aston would hold.They didn’t want to risk their deaths over something so stupid.But, as it was with the nature of degenerate wealthy people, there was something they wanted more than ensuring their lives.They wanted revenge.Arthur Griffin had stepped on a great many toes in the world of the upper class. He’d ruined companies, disgraced families and brought down empires with just a wave of his hand.The worst part about a dictator

    It took all of Aria's self control not to put a bullet through Aston's head. In fact, scratch that, the only reason she didn't put a bullet through Aston's head was because she didn't have a gun with her.It was bad enough that he attended slave auctions, but he brought her son?! The apple of her eye?! The most precious thing in her life?!She could feel her skin bubbling hot like a visceral thing, like she was about to combust into lava any second now, and then, she felt a large hand on her thigh. "What the--""Cool off, Griffin. I have my reasons", Aston said, his hand on her thigh exerting force. Aria was suddenly torn between torching him to the ground right then and cooling off as he asked. His hand on her thigh was like fire, even though her dress was preventing any real skin to skin contact. Molten lava crawled up her neck and her face, and she was glad the room was dark.It was strange, having this kind of visceral reaction just to a man touching her. Hell, even Liam hadn't
