Love Disguised as Revenge Chapter 9: Daddy
Jason’s POVThe word hit me harder than any punch I had taken in my life.“Daddy.”I stared down at the small boy in front of me, my hands still resting on his shoulders from when I had caught him. The child was small, he was four years old at most. He had dark hair that fell a little messily over his forehead. And wide, serious eyes that refused to look away from my face.For a second, something flashed in my mind when I looked at those eyes. The shape. The color. It was a resemblance that felt so much like—Aria.No.It was impossible.Aria had killed our baby years ago. She had looked me in the eye and told me that the child was gone.She had taken the money and walked away. Whatever this boy was, he was not mine. He was not hers. He was simply a child who had mistaken a stranger for someone else.My assistant, Daniel, stood a few feet behind me. We had been walking through the park back to the car after a last-minute site inspection nearby. Daniel had been speaking about the

Noah’s POVI woke up and my head didn’t hurt anymore.For a long time my head had felt hot and heavy, like someone had put a big warm hat on me that I couldn’t take off. Mommy kept putting cold clothes on my face and whispering soft things to me. I remember throwing up and crying and holding her shirt really tight. But today the heavy feeling was gone. My tummy felt normal again. I could breathe easily.I sat up in my bed and looked around. The morning light was coming through the curtains, making little stripes on the floor. I liked those stripes. Sometimes I tried to jump from one to the other without touching the dark parts.“Mommy?” I called.She came into the room quickly, like she always did when I called her. Her hair was a little messy and her eyes looked tired, but she smiled when she saw me sitting up.“You’re awake,” she said, sitting on the edge of my bed. She put her hand on my forehead the way she always did. “Fever’s gone. How do you feel, baby?”“I’m okay,” I said.
Love Disguised as Revenge Chapter 7: It was an emergency
Aria’s POVI grabbed my bag from my desk and left the office. I ignored the few curious looks from some of the staff, and walked straight out of Cross Tower.Jason never gave me permission to leave early. And I didn’t ask for it either. Not when I had to go see my son.By the time I reached the apartment, Noah was curled up on the couch with a damp cloth on his forehead. His little face was flushed, and his eyes were glassy with fever. The second he saw me, he stretched out his arms.“Mommy…”I dropped everything and pulled him against me. His skin was burning.Mrs. Harris stood nearby, looking exhausted. “His fever spiked around four. He threw up twice. I already gave him the medicine the doctor recommended.”I nodded, trying to keep my voice steady. “Thank you. I’ll take it from here.”The rest of the night blurred, I pressed a damp cloth on his forehead, let him take small sips of water, and whispered soft reassurances to him. Noah clung to me every time I tried to step away. A
Love Disguised as Revenge Chapter 6: Noah is sick
Aria’s POVToday, Jason scheduled a meeting concerning a project.Even in the boardroom Jason was still deciding to turn down every suggestion I made.And things got worse when Mark decided to speak up for me.Mark had been with me since the early days of Lumina. He was one of the few people who stayed loyal even after Cross Group took over. When Jason dismissed one of my design ideas in front of everyone, Mark didn’t stay quiet.“With respect, Mr. Cross,” Mark said, his voice steady, “that direction weakens the brand. We’ve tested it. The clients responded better to the original approach.”The room went silent.Jason didn’t raise his voice. He simply looked at Mark with that cold, empty expression.“Is that your professional opinion,” Jason asked quietly, “or are you still loyal to a company that no longer exists?”Mark’s face tightened. “I’m loyal to good work.”Jason leaned back in his chair. “Then you’ll do good work somewhere else. Effective immediately, you’re reassigned to the
Love Disguised as Revenge Chapter 5: Who is he?
Jason's POV I had spent the last hour complaining over Aria’s work, not because it was flawed, but because it was the only way I could punish her. But a huge part of me knew I was doing this to have her around longer. Even if I hated to admit it.I knew if I didn't find a reason to reject her layouts, she would walk out at 6:00 p.m. sharp like every other worker, and I’d be left alone.I pressed the intercom button. "Ms. Bennett. My office. Bring the Lennox boards."I didn’t wait for a response and I dropped the line. Three minutes later, the door swung open with a violence that told me she hadn't lost her fire.Aria stood there, looking exhausted, her hair was even slightly messy and she was still wearing the necklace I had given her years ago again. My heart ached seeing her like this."It’s seven o'clock, Jason," she said, walking toward my desk. "My team is gone. My designers are home. Why am I still here?""You're here because this is important," I lied, sliding the folder to
Love Disguised as Revenge Chapter 4: Bargaining with the Devil
Aria’s POVI didn’t sleep.Instead, I sat on the edge of Noah’s bed long after his breathing had evened out, watching the rise and fall of his small chest under the dinosaur blanket. Jason's threat kept ringing in my head, and I knew I had to do something to save the forty-one workers in my company.One thing was for sure: if I refused Jason, he wouldn’t just take Lumina. He would burn it. Clients would vanish, contracts would be terminated. My designers, the interns who still believed in me, Priya, who stayed late without complaining, and all of them would be out of work because of my pride.I reached out and brushed a strand of hair away from Noah’s forehead.I had to do this for the forty-one workers. And most importantly, Noah, so I could still provide for him.By the time the sky started turning gray, I had already made my decision.The next morning, I arrived at Cross Group headquarters at 8:17 a.m. The building was everything Lumina wasn’t. It had floor-to-ceiling windows, p
