Hello Loves... I've been under the weather lately that's why I couldn't update. I'm feeling a lot better now and would try and update as more chapters. The story is about to come to an end, so motivate me with your reviews and gems, and I'll really appreciate that. Love Pretty Darlie
Kayden steps closer until her back gently meets the glass wall behind her, the ocean and stars glittering through the transparent structure. His palms slide to her waist, firm, claiming.His gaze was soft but dark; it was as if he wanted to do sinful things to her. “I yearn for everything, Babydoll—your voice, your eyes, the way you breathe when I touch you.” His thumb traces her lower lip. “And now that I finally have you here… I’m not sharing even an inch of you with the world.” Aria's breath hitches. “Kayden…” She breathes, and he leans in, his lips brushing her ear, his voice low and husky, like velvet and fire. “I want them all to know you’re taken.Not someday… not tomorrow… now.” Aria felt a shiver run down her spine, not from fear but in anticipation, in recognition of the part of him that isn't a ruthless billionaire or calculating strategist but the man who aches for her.He lifts her chin, forcing her gaze to lock with his.“I lost you once because I was scared to tru
At dusk… Same day… On a private island that Kayden had secretly purchased and rebuilt from scratch was the most magnificent and breathtaking scene. Under the night sky, thousands of customized floating lanterns drifted across the sea, forming Aria’s name, and a path of enchanted lights led her to a glass pavilion built on the water. A string orchestra was playing live, and the entire place glowed like a dream. Aria steps off the boat, her eyes widening in surprise as she takes in the breathtaking scene before her. “This way, Madam,” Mike says politely behind her as he directs her to where the boss is waiting. Aria slowly walks forward, following the trail.She was wearing a champagne-colored gown, flawlessly tailored to her body, making even her slight bulge appear nonexistent. Her hair was made into an elegant updo with tendrils framing her face with a touch of light makeup to enhance her delicate features. She looked gorgeous. She followed the luminous glass walkway; the sea
“Now we just have a teeny tiny problem. How are we going to escape from Dad? Do you have any bright ideas?” Kayden asked, and Aria gave him a mischievous smile. “I thought you'd never ask. Just leave Dad to me; I'll be right back,” she said and turned her back to him. “Would you help me with my zip?” “No,” he refused. “You know I prefer you naked,” he added huskily. “Don't worry, you're going to get your wish as soon as we're done with the registration,” Aria promised. Kayden obediently helped Aria fix her clothes and helped her with the zip, not forgetting to spank her ass after he was done. “Kayden!” Aria scolded, blushing at his actions; however, Kayden smirked. “Don't take too long,” he warned in a low voice as she walked away. As soon as Aria walked out the door, Kayden pulled out his phone from his pocket and dialed Mike's number. “I don't know how you are going to do it, but I want the surprise to be completed in three hours. Use all the resources at hand. You know th
Kayden had just entered the bedroom with Aria in his arms when she tried to get down on her own. “Put me down,” she said. “You're not going to pretend again?” Kayden asked with raised brows, a mischievous smile on his face. Aria glared at him. “Put me down,” she repeated in annoyance, and Kayden reluctantly placed her onto her feet. “Am I not pretending to be sick because of you? I'm doing everything to stay by your side, but it looks like I'm the only one who wants to stay. Are you tired of me already?” she accused. “Would you stop thinking about bad things all the time and have a little faith in me? What do you want me to do to convince you that I want you here as much as you do? No, let me rephrase it: I want you here more than you'd ever think. Can't you see my heart?” Kayden asked, his piercing eyes staring at her. “Sorry,” she apologized in a low voice, her expression full of guilt. “I shouldn't have doubted you. It's just that I'm scared,” she added. “Of what,
“Therefore, both of you can't stay under the same roof anymore; Aria will have to move into my estate right away…” “Dad!” Aria exclaimed, shooting up from Kayden's lab, her expression full of displeasure. “I don't want to stay separately from Kayden. No matter what I do, people are bound to talk about it. Why should I worry about them when I know I'm the victim in all these? Jayden deceived me into marrying him, and that is the truth…” “Ariana,” Kayden called softly, holding her hand. Aria turned to look at Kayden and found his piercing eyes boring into hers. “I think Dad is right; no matter how much I want you to stay with me, I must admit that he's telling the truth…” “You don't want me here with you? I thought I wasn't the only one who wanted this. I thought you'd be the one to stand with me against Dad's idea at all costs,” Aria said, her expression full of hurt. Kayden stood up from his chair and cupped her face in his large palms. “No, no, baby doll, of course I want you
Kayden's study… Mr. Morgan was seated behind the desk with a neutral expression on his face as he watched Kayden, who sat across from him. Kayden couldn't tell what his adoptive father was thinking; however, he had a feeling it was about him and Ariana.Kayden had always been confident that Mr. Morgan was on his side. However, it was clear that being both his adopted son and his son-in-law was not something the older man appreciated. Kayden had tried to ignore it, but he had realized over the past few days that his adopted father treated him more like a son-in-law than a son. Even though Kayden didn't understand what brought about this change, he was willing to accommodate and understand his adoptive father/father-in-law. After all, they both wanted what was best for Aria. “Dad…” Kayden began, but Mr. Morgan held up his hand to silence him. “I'll go first,” he began. “I'll be returning to Philadelphia in three days. I want to bring Aria along with me to Philadelphia; that's whe
