Aiden

Her voice wouldn’t leave my head.

It kept replaying in fragments, soft and sharp at the same time. The way she said “you knew”, the way her eyes changed when she looked at me like I had become someone she didn’t recognize anymore. Even when I closed my eyes, even when I tried to focus on anything else, she was still there.

Arianna.

Days had passed, but sleep had become optional.

Or maybe I had just stopped caring about it.

Most nights I stayed at the hotel instead of going home. It wasn’

  • My stunning bride   Chapter 134 A wedding ceremony

    Arianna’s POVThe ride to my father’s office felt longer than it should have.Not because of distance.But because of everything that wasn’t being said between us.Aiden drove in silence, both hands steady on the wheel, his expression unreadable as always. I kept my gaze outside the window, watching the city shift from busy streets to quieter, more structured roads that led toward corporate buildings.My mind wasn’t fully calm.It kept replaying the exam. The waiting. Him standing there when I walked out.Aiden hadn’t said much then either.And somehow, that silence had followed us all the way here.When the car slowed and finally stopped in front of the building, I exhaled softly.“This is it,” I murmured more to myself than him.Aiden turned the engine off but didn’t immediately move.For a moment, he just sat there.Then he stepped out first.I followed.The air outside felt different—colder, sharper. Like everything here demanded seriousness.We walked inside together.About to dr

  • My stunning bride   Chapter 133 Waiting At the Edge Of Tomorrow

    Arianna’s POVMorning came quietly.Not dramatic. Not rushed.Just a slow pull into awareness, like the day had already decided it was going to happen whether I was ready or not.I stared at the ceiling for a few seconds before sitting up.Today was the exam.The entrance exam.The one thing I had been quietly preparing for while trying not to think too much about everything else around me.I exhaled slowly and got out of bed.No distractions.That was the goal.I got ready in silence, moving through each step carefully. My bag was already packed, but I still checked it twice without really needing to. It wasn’t anxiety exactly.Just awareness.Today mattered.m a white lot to me.I didn’t let myself think beyond that.His car was already waiting when I stepped outside.Aiden was inside, just like he had said he would be.Silent, as always.I got in without saying anything except from a single greeting.The door closed and the ride began immediately.There was no conversation at first.

  • My stunning bride   Chapter 132 Things Left Unsaid At The Doorstep

    Arianna’s POVI didn’t plan on coming back so soon.I had spent the day at the national library doing my final reading and the day went by without me knowing.The day had already been heavy in a way I couldn’t properly explain. Nothing dramatic had happened, nothing loud enough to point at and say this is why I feel off. It was more like pressure sitting quietly at the back of my mind, refusing to leave me alone no matter how much I tried to ignore it.The entrance exams were going to be tougher.I knew it.I couldn't shake off the feeling.So I came back.I wasn’t even sure what I expected when I arrived.But it definitely wasn’t this.The moment the car stopped, I noticed the entrance immediately.It was blocked.Not messy. Not rushed. Not chaotic like a delivery gone wrong.It looked arranged.Neat. Clean. Intentional.Boxes lined up carefully across the entrance, along with gift bags and sealed packages stacked in a way that looked almost rehearsed. Like someone had thought about

  • My stunning bride   Chapter 132 Distance Has A Way Of Speaking Loudly

    Arianna’s POVThe morning felt unusually quiet.Not the comforting kind I had started getting used to in Liam’s apartment, where silence felt like rest and routine.This one felt different.Thinner.Like something important had quietly stepped out of the room and left its absence behind without warning anyone first.I stood in the kitchen doorway for a moment longer than I should have, watching Liam move around with quiet precision. His suitcase was already open on the couch, clothes folded neatly inside in a way that made everything look intentional. He didn’t rush. He didn’t hesitate. He simply moved from one thing to the next like everything had already been decided long before this moment.“You’re really going?” I asked again, even though I already knew the answer.He didn’t look up immediately. “Yes.”I crossed my arms. “For how long?”“A few days.”“That’s not an answer.”He finally paused and glanced at me. “It’s the only one I have.”I narrowed my eyes slightly. “That sounds s

  • My stunning bride   Chapter 130 Time stands still

    Aiden’s POVI parked the car outside the apartment without switching off the engine at first.I just sat there.Hands still on the steering wheel.Watching.From where I was, the glass doors gave me a clear view of the living room.Arianna was inside.Laughing.Not the polite kind of smile she gave when she was holding herself together. Not the forced calm she wore when she didn’t want to deal with too many emotions at once.This was different.Her head tilted slightly as she laughed at something Liam said, her shoulders relaxed in a way I hadn’t seen in a while. Even from here, I could tell she felt… safe.And Liam—he was standing too close.Too familiar.He was her brother. I couldn't help but admit to my self.I was present. Too present in a space I didn’t belong to.My grip tightened slightly on the steering wheel before I forced my hands to relax.I should have gone in.I knew that.But I didn’t.Instead, I sat there watching like I had no right to interrupt what was happening i

  • My stunning bride   Chapter 129 No more calculus for now

    Arianna’s POV The apartment felt different the moment I stepped inside. Not quieter exactly. Just… lighter. Like something I had been carrying for weeks had finally loosened its grip, even if only a little. I slipped my shoes off at the door and let out a long breath I didn’t realize I had been holding since morning. Exams were over. Completely over. No more papers, no more invigilators watching my every movement, no more ticking clock making my heart race for no reason. Just silence. Peace. At least for now. Chloe stretched dramatically beside me, dropping her bag onto the couch like she had just returned from a battlefield. “I swear,” she groaned, “if I see another math paper in my life, I’m changing countries.” I gave her a small look. “You say that after every exam season.” “And I mean it every time,” she replied without hesitation. Liam shut the door behind us and dropped his keys onto the table. He didn’t look tired like I expected him to. If anything, he looked lik

    Chloe’s face kept changing in horror, the shock still rippling through her like cold water running down her spine.

  • My stunning bride   Chloe plans a visit but she's met with hostility

    Arianna’s ear kept buzzing, mostly because Chloe had made it a mission to hum endlessly about the gifts she had been receiving—from school all the way home, and even after they settled in her room. After hours of gentle pushing, teasing, and dramatic sighs, Arianna finally opened up about the contr

    Third POVArianna warily untied the ribbon on the package, her fingers trembling slightly. Chloe had moved away, leaving her momentarily alone, yet Arianna couldn’t shake the tension that crawled up her spine. Every sense was alert.The situation was suspicious—terrifying, even. A package had arriv

    Aiden’s POVMy mood and temperament had taken a brutal blow since I last heard from my men who had been attacked and probably killed whilst trying to defend themselves.
