Chapter 101

Aria Blake

~•~

Julian dropped me back at the house.

When I went into my bedroom and changed into something more comfortable, I reached for my phone and dialed Samuel’s number.

He answered immediately.

“I’ve been trying to reach you, Aria. And I know you’ve been ignoring me on purpose,” he complained. “What were you doing?”

I pressed a hand to my forehead. “Samuel, please…”

“Do you know if it was an emergency?”

“You would have sent a text if it were an emergency,” I replied s

    Chapter 102Aria Blake ~•~ Harper left because I told her that I needed time to process everything. But in reality, I just needed to ask for other people’s opinions. Since I didn’t have anything to do, I went over to my mom’s house. Claire would still be around for a few days before leaving for work. When she saw me, she was surprised. “You didn’t say you were coming,” she muttered. “How did the kids do on their first day of school?” I sank onto the couch and smiled. “I was worried at first because they were gloomy throughout the ride, but when they saw the teacher, they started smiling.”Claire leaned forward. “Why?” I shrugged. “I don’t really know. But I think it’s because she was polite, so they felt safe.” “I’m glad they’re happy and safe,” Claire said with a relieved breath. “So what are you doing here?” I tilted my head. “Can’t I come to my mom’s house whenever I want?” I asked defensively. Claire dragged a hand down her face. “You can, but I just can’t help but wonde

    Chapter 101Aria Blake ~•~ Julian dropped me back at the house. When I went into my bedroom and changed into something more comfortable, I reached for my phone and dialed Samuel’s number. He answered immediately. “I’ve been trying to reach you, Aria. And I know you’ve been ignoring me on purpose,” he complained. “What were you doing?” I pressed a hand to my forehead. “Samuel, please…” “Do you know if it was an emergency?” “You would have sent a text if it were an emergency,” I replied softly. “So why were you calling?” He let out a deep exhale. “So you saw the calls and ignored me?” The disappointment in his voice was palpable. “I didn’t ignore you. I was busy with something,” I answered. “Busy with what?” “It was their first day of school, so I was occupied.” “Isla and Owen?” I nodded even though he couldn’t see me. “Yes.” “Wow,” Samuel muttered. “And you didn’t tell me about it. You didn’t even call me so I could talk to them.” I closed my eyes briefly. There was not

    Chapter 100Aria Blake ~•~ It was Isla and Owen’s first day in their new school. I wasn’t sure how I felt. I was excited that they were finally starting school, but I was worried because they didn’t look too thrilled about it. We were in the living room, waiting for Julian to arrive. He said he wanted all of us to go together. He had missed out on so many parts of their lives and wanted to make new memories with them. I didn’t argue with him. “Can you guys smile or something?” I asked the kids who were still wearing gloomy faces. “Today is going to be great and exciting. You’ll meet new people.” They didn’t respond. I let out a deep sigh. “Even if you don’t make any friends, you have each other, and that’s all that matters,” I added, trying to cheer them up. “Okay, mommy,” Owen finally replied. If I could remember correctly, he was excited about his new school. I wondered what changed. Maybe Isla’s energy rubbed off on him. A few minutes later, Julian arrived at the house. I

    Chapter 99Aria Blake ~•~ Julian eventually left. I was grateful he did because he was already causing a scene in the restaurant. I felt embarrassed as we still waited for our food. Everyone stole glances at us at intervals. When it was finally time to leave the restaurant, I was so relieved. Samuel drove us back to the house. But he refused to go inside the house because it was Julian who gave me the house. After the kids went inside, I stayed in the car with him for a while. “I don’t trust that guy,” he said, clearing his throat. “Julian is obsessed with you,” he added. “Julian isn’t obsessed with me,” I countered. “He just feels threatened because of the kids. He's scared they won’t love him as much as they love you.” Samuel was quiet for a beat. “Are you sure that his outburst was about the kids?” he asked quietly. “He also asked me to take my hands off you, and I think he still likes you.” “I can’t deny the fact that he likes me. But that’s all it’s going to be… one-

    Chapter 98Julian Cross ~•~ The words blurred as I read the text message. My private investigator texted to say that Samuel was in New York and had been there for a few days. I already felt relieved because he didn’t show up the other time when Aria lied to me that he was moving to New York. But now, he was here. Did he finally move here, or did he come because of the funeral? That wasn’t where it ended. The investigator also told me he went to the apartment I’d gotten for Aria, and they all drove out to a restaurant. My blood was boiling intensely with rage. Without thinking, I picked up my keys and went to the car. I knew I was about to make a mistake, but I didn’t care. I wasn’t comfortable with the fact that he took my kids out without informing me. I wanted to pick them up. Besides, I was the one who got custody of them. In about fifteen minutes, I arrived at the restaurant. A part of me screamed that I should go back home, but the jealous and angry part made me step o

    Chapter 97Aria Blake ~•~ “I want to see the kids before I leave,” Samuel whispered in my ear as he pulled me closer. “I’ve missed them so much.” The kids were with Julian. “Okay… I’ll make sure you spend some time with them before you go back,” I replied. “They miss you too. They keep asking about you.” Samuel hummed. “Okay, baby.” My family didn’t disturb us. We spent the night together. But the next morning, Samuel had to move to a hotel. I went over to Julian’s house to pick up the kids. Julian brought them to the car. “Hey, are you good?” he asked after I ushered the kids to the back seat. “You didn’t want me to come over yesterday.” I let out a deep exhale. “We didn’t want anyone at the house. It was already sad and we didn’t want more condolences to make us miserable.” Julian stroked his beard. “Oh, I understand,” he muttered. “But are you good?” I shrugged. “I don’t know. But I’ll be fine.” I didn’t believe those words but I just said them because I didn’t want a l

    Chapter 77Aria Blake ~•~ “Are you still at his house?” That was the first thing Samuel asked me when he answered the phone. Not how is your health? Not how the kids are doing?I let it slide. He was still upset because I left Texas without telling him, and probably still mad that I went to Jul
