His Surrogate Fled, He Never Stopped Chapter 40
Aria's POVThe rest of our shopping expedition continued with the same surreal level of VIP treatment. Every store we entered seemed to transform upon Lorenzo's arrival—managers appeared from nowhere, private shopping areas were suddenly available, and items I'd never dreamed of owning were presented like they belonged to me by birthright.At an exclusive jewelry boutique, I was offered champagne while trying on necklaces that cost more than most people's houses. In a shoe store that required appointments, pairs of handcrafted Italian leather appeared as if by magic. Each interaction reinforced the same lesson: in this world, power wasn't just about money—it was about the ability to reshape reality around your desires.Phone buzzed, interrupting my thoughts. Lorenzo glanced at the screen and his expression shifted slightly."Mr. Cavalieri?" I asked, though his reaction had already confirmed my guess."Yes." Lorenzo answered the call with crisp professionalism. "Good afternoon, sir. Ye

Aria's POVThe small apartment felt even more cramped as I moved around, pulling clothes from the narrow wardrobe and folding them into my worn suitcase. Each item I packed felt like another piece of my old life being carefully stored away, probably never to be needed again.Sofia sat on the edge of my bed, watching me with red-rimmed eyes that she kept trying to hide by looking away."Aria," Sofia said quietly, her voice thick with unshed tears. "If something goes wrong—if they hurt you or if the situation becomes unbearable—you have to find a way to contact me. Promise me.""Sofia—""Promise me," she insisted, gripping my free hand with surprising strength. "I don't care how powerful they are or how dangerous it might be. I'll find a way to get you out of there. We'll figure something out together, just like we always have."The fierce determination in her voice made my chest tight with emotion. This was Sofia at her core—loyal to a fault, willing to throw herself against impossible

Aria's POVI had signed a surrogacy contract. Tomorrow morning, I would be collected like a package and delivered to the Cavalieri estate, where I would spend the next six to nine months as a controlled asset in their family's dynastic plans."I..." The words caught in my throat, and I had to clear it before continuing. "Could I see my sister first? Just once more? It might be... it might be a long time before I can visit her again."Damian's dark eyes lifted from his paperwork, studying me with that calculating expression. For a moment, I thought he might refuse—after all, the contract was signed, my fate sealed. What did my sentimental needs matter to him now?The silence stretched between us. Finally, he gave a slight nod."You may visit her this afternoon. But only today." His voice carried the weight of final authority. "Tomorrow, your new life begins."The elevator ride down felt like a descent into my own grave. Each floor that passed marked another step away from the woman I h

Aria’s POVSix months of medical procedures before resorting to his preferred method. It was the only compromise I could think of that might preserve some shred of my dignity while still giving him what he wanted.Damian's dark eyes studied me with the intensity of a predator evaluating prey. The silence stretched on, filled only by the distant hum of Florence traffic forty-two floors below and the thundering of my own heartbeat in my ears."Interesting," he said finally.He leaned back in his leather chair, fingers steepled as he regarded me with what might have been amusement or annoyance—I couldn't tell which was more terrifying. "You seem to believe you're in a position to make counter-offers.""Because you haven't left," I replied, forcing my voice to remain steady despite the tremor in my hands. "If you had better options, you would have ended this conversation the moment I questioned your terms."The words came out stronger than I felt. Inside, terror clawed at my chest. I was

Damian's POVI watched her internal struggle, she was weighing her principles against her sister's life, and we both knew which would win.But then she did something unexpected.Instead of signing, she set the pen down with deliberate precision and raised those amber eyes to meet mine."Why does it have to be me?" she asked, her voice steadier than it had been all morning. "And don't give me some bullshit answer about compatibility or convenience. You could have your pick of any woman in Florence. Sophisticated women who understand your world, who wouldn't need to be... managed... like this."I felt my eyebrows rise involuntarily. Where had this backbone come from? An hour ago she'd been cowering in that copy room, allowing Victoria to treat her like hired help. Now she was questioning me directly, as if she had any right to demand explanations."You're here to sign a contract, not conduct an interview," I said coolly, but she pressed on."Because you don't just need any woman to carr

Aria’s POVHe rose from his chair with predatory grace, his movements deliberate and controlled as he circled around the desk. When he finally stopped in front of me, towering over where I sat on the leather sofa, the atmosphere became suffocating."Aria," he said, his voice so soft it was barely above a whisper. "Do you think this is a negotiation?"I forced myself to meet his gaze, though every instinct screamed at me to look away. "I'm simply suggesting a more... professional approach to achieving your goals."His laugh was low and humorless, a sound that sent shivers down my spine. "Professional." He repeated the word as if it amused him. "You seem to be under the impression that you have leverage here. That you're in a position to dictate terms.""I just think this arrangement would benefit both of us—""Would it?" Damian leaned down, his hands gripping the armrests of my chair, effectively trapping me between his body and the leather upholstery. The scent of his cologne envelope
