Chapter 14

Aria Blake

~•~

“He said I cheated on him?” I asked, finding it hard to believe what I’d just heard from Julian’s mom.

“Yes, I’ve been meaning to call you since, but he told me not to say anything. He wanted to tell you by himself when he was ready.”

My stomach flipped.

All this time, Julian thought I had betrayed him. Everything was beginning to make sense. Maybe just a little bit.

“Did he say who I cheated on him with?” I asked, my heart racing.

“No, I didn’t think he wanted

    Chapter 57Aria Blake~•~ Julian called me and told me that Samuel had attacked him. It sounded ridiculous because the Samuel I knew wouldn’t do something like that. He ended the call before I could get all the details from him. And when I tried calling him back, he didn’t answer his phone. I even texted him, but he didn’t reply. Samuel had gone out earlier to meet with a few of his friends. I didn’t believe that he lied to me and actually went to Julian’s hotel instead. But I wanted to be sure, so I called him. His phone rang a few times but he didn’t respond. I was worried. I tried a few more times and it was still the same outcome. No response. Sinking into the couch, I dialed Julian’s number again. As the phone rang, I prayed silently that he would answer. But he didn’t. It was then that I realized that there was a high chance that he was telling the truth. He sounded really upset on the phone. Since I couldn’t reach any of them, the only thing I could do was wait. So

    Chapter 56Julian Cross ~•~ It had been exactly twenty-four hours since I sent my lawyer to deliver the court papers to Aria. But she hadn’t reached out to me. At some point, I wondered if she hadn’t received the papers, but my lawyer showed me proof of her signature during delivery. “Was she trying to process it?” I whispered to myself. Or maybe she felt that it would go away if she ignored it and acted like she didn’t see it. But that wasn’t going to work. The case was serious and I’d hired the best family lawyer in Texas. I didn’t want to do it at first. I gave Aria space. I gave her the chance to reach out and tell me she’d changed her mind about the kids.But she didn’t. Maybe she felt like I’d given up. She had no idea that the last thing I would ever do was to give up on my kids. While I was still lost in my thoughts, a soft knock came at the door. Letting out a sharp exhale, I stood up from the bed and answered. I expected it to be room service, but I was shocked w

    Chapter 55Aria Blake ~•~ “He hasn’t called or reached out to me after I left him at the school that day.” “Have you reached out to him?” Claire asked, her voice sounding from the other end of the call. I shook my head. “No… I was hoping that he listened to me and left Texas.” It was the weekend and Julian hadn’t said anything. Everything had been peaceful. A part of me felt suspicious, but the other part chose to believe that he was gone. “Do you think he’ll give up so easily?” I sighed, pushing my hair backward. “I don’t think so… Julian won’t give up so easily, but I still feel like my words hurt him and he’s decided to take a step back.” “Uhm… let’s hope that’s the case.” “Maybe it is. Or else, he would have reached out to me since I kept insisting that he saw the kids only during the weekend.” Claire and I stayed on the phone for a few more minutes, and we eventually had to end it because she was being called to set. I placed my phone on the nightstand when we were do

    Chapter 54Julian Cross ~•~ As Aria and I talked, I expected that she would at least have some sympathy and allow me to go with the kids. But as usual, she left me mid-conversation and walked out of my life. I didn’t follow her, I let her leave. All eyes were on me as I walked back to my car. I’d caused a scene at the school and I could tell that most of them were judging me. But that was the least of my concerns. I got back to my hotel in no time. The first thing I did was to call Cole. “Man, I need some advice,” I groaned as he answered the call. Cole let out a sharp breath. “On what?” I dragged a hand down my hair. “Custody… do you think I should take Aria to court and fight for custody of the kids?” “I knew it would get to this point,” Cole sighed. “What happened?” “She doesn’t want me to see the kids. She’s acting like I’m not their father or I don’t have any right over them.” “So what’s your plan? Do you want to bring them back to New York?” I nodded. “Yes. I can’t

    Chapter 53Aria Blake ~•~ I rushed over to the kids’ school without even telling my boss that I was leaving. I couldn’t let Julian take my kids. Who knew what he was going to do after? Why was he so desperate to hang out with them even after I told him to be patient until the weekend? By the time I got there, he had already caused a scene in their school. I didn’t even spare him a glance, I held Owen and Isla like my life depended on them. My life actually did depend on them. Then I took them to the car and made sure they were safe before facing Julian. “What on earth is wrong with you?” I asked, my breathing uneven. “Why are you hellbent on pissing me off?” “I just wanted to spend some time with my kids. I wasn’t doing anything to piss you off,” he replied defensively. “You weren’t even meant to come here.” I shook my head in utter disbelief.“You really want to defend your actions right now?” I asked bitterly. “And you expected me to sit back while you take my kids to God

    Chapter 52Aria Blake ~•~ “I don’t think you’ve been really focused on work,” my boss said as he folded his hands on top of his desk. I forced a smile onto my face. “I’m sorry.” “Sorry isn’t going to cut it. You’re the leader of your team and you can’t be caught slacking.” This wasn’t the first time he had called me to his office over the past few weeks. Ever since Julian had shown up in Texas, my life had been a total mess. Between work, the kids, Samuel, and Julian constantly trying to push my boundaries, I barely had enough energy to think straight.“You’ve made three mistakes on important files this week alone,” he continued. “That’s not like you.”I couldn’t even argue with him because he was right. I lowered my gaze. “I’m sorry, sir. It won’t happen again.” There was a beat of silence. Then he asked. “Are you going through something? Do you need some time off?” I shook my head. “No, that won’t be necessary, sir. I’ll be focused from now on and I won’t make any mistakes.
