Three months had passed since Sophie left the country, and with her departure, the heavy weight that had once clung to Aria’s daily life began to lift. The chaos that Sophie had stirred between them had finally quieted, and in that newfound stillness, Aria discovered something close to peace. Her life no longer felt like it was unraveling. Instead, it was slowly being stitched back together, one soft moment at a time.

Her belly had begun to round gently, the first visible sign of the child growing inside her. It brought her joy—but also a new kind of vulnerability. Determined to stay healthy for the sake of their baby, she remained committed to daily walks and light runs, guided and supported by Lucien, who had become not just her husband, but her anchor.

That morning, they jogged side by side down a shaded path in the park, the soft crunch of gravel underfoot blending with the sound of birdsong. Aria’s pace slowed, her breath catching as she clutched her side briefly.

  • My Mysterious Husband   87: The start of a new beginning

    With the soft pad of paws on stone and the echo of Lucien’s confident steps behind him, the dog led the way back up the aisle like a proud little usher. Aria followed slowly, the earlier tension melting with every step. Guests turned to one another with quiet smiles—some wiping away tears, others still chuckling.As she reached the altar, Lucien extended his hand. She took it without hesitation, and the moment their fingers touched, the entire church seemed to exhale. They stood face-to-face now, the chaos behind them, the future stretching ahead.“You look…” Lucien began, his voice catching slightly. “You look like every dream I ever had, Aria.”Aria’s eyes softened. “And you look like a man who just got lucky his bride didn’t walk out.”The guests laughed, and even the officiant cracked a warm smile.As they turned to face the minister, the ceremony began.“Dearly beloved,” the officiant said, “we are gathered here today to celebrate something rare, something true—something not even

    The great wooden doors of the church opened with a soft groan, and sunlight spilled in behind her, catching the delicate shimmer of her veil. Aria paused for a breath, her hand gently tightening around her bouquet. The soft murmur of the guests quieted into reverent silence as all eyes turned toward her.Her heart overflowed—not with nerves, but with a deep, radiant joy that warmed her from within. She felt it in every beat, steady and strong. As she stepped forward, the gentle hum of the organ surrounded her like a blessing. Each footfall on the stone floor echoed softly, rhythmic, measured, as if time had slowed just for her.She glanced around and saw familiar faces—family, friends, even a few with tears shining in their eyes. And they were all looking at her, not just with admiration, but with love. In this moment, she wasn’t simply wearing a gown—she was the bride, and this was her moment."This is it. It’s real. It’s happening," she whispered to herself with a smile blooming acr

  • My Mysterious Husband   85: Reunion

    In another quiet corner of the city, Fabian found himself once again standing outside Cassandra’s apartment. The dim streetlights cast long shadows across the pavement as he nervously adjusted the collar of his coat, rehearsing his words in his head for what felt like the hundredth time.He finally knocked.A few moments later, the door creaked open, revealing Cassandra—calm, poised, and just a little surprised to see him. Her expression was unreadable, but she didn’t close the door. That, at least, was something.“Fabian,” she said simply, her voice neither cold nor welcoming—just neutral.“Hey,” he replied, forcing a small smile. “Can we talk?”She hesitated before stepping aside, silently giving him permission to come in. Inside, the air was warm, scented faintly with chamomile and lavender. Fabian stood awkwardly for a moment before turning to face her.“I know I’ve made mistakes,” he began. “I know I hurt you… and I won’t pretend that words can fix everything. But I can’t stop th

  • My Mysterious Husband   84: Let's get married... again.

    It was a cold, crisp morning when Aria and Lucien made their way to visit his parents. The couple had planned this visit with some hesitation, especially Aria, who had been feeling uneasy ever since their last conversation with Lucien’s mother. They arrived at the Vale rest house just as the early morning light filtered through the mist, casting a soft glow over the stone path leading to the entrance. The air was quiet, save for the faint rustling of leaves in the cold breeze.As they approached the front door, Lucien walked confidently, but Aria’s steps began to slow. A few feet from the entrance, she suddenly came to a halt. Noticing this, Lucien turned to her with a questioning look.“Why did you stop?” he asked, his tone gentle but curious.Aria glanced at him with a nervous expression, her eyes momentarily avoiding his before she looked up and spoke in a quiet, honest voice.“I’m... feeling shy about seeing Mom and Dad,” she confessed, the words slipping out with difficulty. “I w

    Aria sat quietly on the edge of the hospital bed, her gaze fixed on her husband who lay there, his injuries a silent testament to recent events. After a moment of silence, she finally spoke, her voice steady but filled with emotion."My parents told me everything," she began, her fingers nervously twisting in her lap. "They said you saved them... that you put yourself in harm’s way to make sure they didn’t get hurt. You didn’t let anything happen to them—and because of that, you ended up like this." Her eyes met his, and though her face was calm, her tone carried the weight of everything she was feeling. "I wanted you to know that I understand now... and I take this seriously."Her husband studied her expression carefully, noting the sadness in her eyes, the pain hidden beneath her composed demeanor. After a beat, he asked quietly, "Do you regret the way you treated me before?"He paused, watching her reaction closely before continuing, his voice filled with sincerity. "If you can’t f

  • My Mysterious Husband   82: Comfort

    Lucien was still confined in the hospital as he continued to recover from the stitches on his chest, a reminder of a recent medical procedure or accident. His wife, Aria, remained by his side, diligently caring for him with unwavering devotion and tenderness. She had barely left his side since he was admitted, ensuring that he felt supported and never alone during his recovery.That afternoon, Aria entered the hospital ward carrying a tray of food. A warm smile spread across her face as she approached his bedside."Here's your food," she said cheerfully, placing the tray gently on the small table next to him. She then helped Lucien sit up carefully, supporting his back and making sure he was comfortable.Lucien looked at her with affection, his eyes softening. "Aww, you're so sweet. Thank you," he said with a gentle smile, his voice filled with gratitude and love.Aria took a seat beside him on the edge of the bed, staying close as she helped him eat, offering him spoonfuls of the mea
