Chapter 182

Arya's POV

Our happiness didn't even last for up to forty eight hours.

That was the cruel thing about life, just when you finally dared to breathe again… it found another way to destroy you.

Blake insisted on dropping me off at my house and saying hi to the twins, but we agreed to not tell them about our engagement for now as we hadn't told them that Blake was their biological father yet.

We walked into my house expecting shrieks as the children rushed to welcome us home, but it was

  • I PAID A BILLIONAIRE FOR A NIGHT    Epilogue.

    Epilogue Arya's pov If someone had told me five years ago that this would be my life, I would have laughed at that person's delusions.I had no idea that my life would end up being so perfect, it seemed more like a fairytale than reality.Yet there I was, standing in front of a full length mirror while tears threatened to spill from my eyes for what felt like the hundredth time that morning.The wedding dress flowed around my body like something from a dream. White silk cascaded to the floor in elegant waves while delicate lace decorated the sleeves and neckline with tiny pearls sewn into the fabric and catching the sunlight streaming through the windows.A soft knock came from the door."Can I come in?" my mother asked."Of course." I smiled.The door opened slowly, and she stepped inside, staring at me for a few seconds before her eyes filled with tears."Mom," I laughed. "Not you too.""Oh, be quiet." She waved a hand dramatically before dabbing her eyes. "I spent years preparing

    Chapter 185Blake's POVThe first thing I became aware of was a familiar voice talking to me. It sounded far away at first, but it became clearer the more I listened to it.Arya!What… What happened? The last thing I remembered was Ivy pointing a gun at her…. Was she okay? I needed to know if she was okay.I tried to move but pain immediately exploded through my body and a groan escaped my lips.Arya stopped talking for a few seconds, then hands gripped mine… Hands that I would recognise even in my dreams."Blake?"My eyes slowly opened, staring at the blurry white ceiling. It took several seconds before my vision finally focused, and the first thing I saw was Arya.Tears immediately filled her eyes as she pressed a trembling hand over her mouth."Oh my God."My throat felt dry and heavy, and every single part of my body was hurting, but seeing her face made something inside me settle down.I was alive, and she was alive. That was all that mattered."Arya." My voice sounded terrible.

    Chapter 184Arya's POV"Blake!" The scream tore itself from my throat as I held his body.My hands were covered in so much blood. It stained my clothes, my skin, pooled beneath him on the cold warehouse floor while I desperately pressed both hands against the wound in his side."Blake, please!" I sobbed. "Please stay with me!"The twins were crying somewhere behind me, but their voices sounded distant and muffled beneath the roaring panic in my ears.All I could see was Blake, all I could think was that I couldn't lose him, not after everything.The engagement ring on my finger felt unbearably heavy, a cruel reminder of everything we might lose before we even got the chance to have it."Drop the weapon!" The shout from the police pulled me back to reality, and my head snapped up towards Ivy who still held the gun in her hand.Her face looked wild as she stared at the police officers who stood with their weapons raised and pointed at her."Put the gun down!" one of them shouted."No.”

    Chapter 183Blake's POVI knew something was wrong the second Arya stopped answering her phone, but I didn't want to jump to conclusions so fast. I tried to convince myself that she had just dropped her phone somewhere and was crying, but there was no way Arya would let go of her only means of communication.And when a police officer hurried toward me with a grim expression, I felt the ground disappearing beneath my feet as my worst fear came to life.“Mr. Donovan… there's been an accident involving Ms Anderson's vehicle.”“What happened?” I asked as panic exploded through me.“The car was intercepted on her way home. Her driver was found unconscious but alive, but Arya… she's nowhere to be found.”My vision blurred as I processed his words. Missing? Arya was missing? I grabbed the officer by his jacket without thinking.“Find her!” I screamed in his face, trying to push down my fear, but it wasn't working. “Find her now!”Two cops quickly stepped forward, trying to calm the situation

    Chapter 181Arya's POVThe strange thing about grief is that the world keeps moving no matter how badly your heart hurts — the sun still rises every morning and sets every evening, and life still goes on.It was barely a week after Casey's death, and we found ourselves boarding a private jet to Abu Dhabi for the final race of the season, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, which was also the last race under my contract with Blake.If everything had gone how I planned it, this race would have marked the end of Blake's career in the racing industry, but life has a way of derailing our plans. Everything between Blake and I had changed, and I could barely believe it myself. Six months ago I hated him with everything I had in me, and I wanted to see him break, and now I was the only thing holding him together. I finally realised that I never truly hated Blake, underneath all my anger was the fact that I was heartbroken at his supposed ‘betrayal’.And now instead of two people fighting each other w
