Aria and Luther entered a maternity shop. Aria picked up a pink pregnancy pillow, but as she pulled it, someone else was tugging it from the other side. “Excuse me…” Aria said, her eyes widening. Darla and Theodore stood in front of her. They, too, were shopping for pregnancy items. Theodore was stunned to see Aria. His heart clenched when he saw Luther holding many bags for Aria. If fate was on his side, he was carrying all these bags for her. He would have chosen the maternity clothes that fit around her baby bump.“It seems you’re hell-bent on chasing after my things,” Darla taunted Aria. “I grabbed this pillow first.”Though Darla was talking about the pillow, Aria knew exactly what she meant. “Darla, calm down,” Theodore said, giving her a stern warning. “You can buy another pillow.” He stated.“Why should I? I want this one.” Darla pulled the pillow towards her. Her lips turned into a winning smile, just like how a wicked kid gets happy after snatching a chocolate.“What’s wr
Aria was standing there, staring at Theodore. His hair was messed up, his clothes terribly wrinkled. His condition had become pitiful. She had never seen him in the worst condition. “Theo…” The girl sitting on Theodore’s lap called him affectionately. Theodore shook his head with disappointment. “No. Not like that. With the kind of love Aria uses when she calls me,” Theodore muttered. ‘Call me the same way.” He insisted. Aria watched everything. She pressed her lips.The girl leaned in closer to him. Her hands pressed against Theodore's chest. She seductively whispered in his ears."Theo.." Theodore's face grimaced instantly. "No. No.. You can never say like her. Just go fuck off." He said and pushed that girl away. “Fuck off, girl.” The girl was scared and she walked away. Men around him laughed at him. He gave them a death glare and grabbed the glass of beer. He was ready to gulp down his throat but a soft hand stopped him.He snapped up and his eyes went to Aria. She did stop h
Darla received a call from the men, who admitted they had failed to kill Aria’s baby. They also told her about a monstrous man who appeared and attacked them brutally, as if he wanted to kill them. Darla immediately realized that the man was none other than Theodore. He saved Aria but she was worried if Theodore would come to know about Aria’s baby. She was restless all night, repeatedly trying to call Theodore. His phone remained silent.So she called him from his assistant and plotted such a plan. Theodore rushed to the hospital to see Darla. She was lying on the bed. She started crying as soon as she saw Theodore.“Theo, where were you all night?” Darla said. “You know I almost lost our baby.” She ranted. “Miss Darla was having severe cramps. If she hadn’t been brought here in time, she could have had a miscarriage,” the doctor said, repeating exactly what Darla had instructed him to say.She never missed a chance to make Theodore feel guilty, and it worked. Theodore had become a
The situation had become quite tense. Theodore leaned forward, looking at Aria. His intense gaze was hitting her like a dagger. Every hair on her body stood straight. “So Miss Aria, do you really love Luther?” Theodore’s question made Aria’s brows furrow. She was baffled.“What kind of question is that? You’re asking about my personal life,” Aria said, visibly annoyed. Theodore smirked.“So, did you expect me to ask what you had for lunch today?” Theodore shot back. All the employees were staring at Aria. “This is what the game is about.” Aria gulped and nodded. “Yes… I do…” Aria said.“Not like that. Look into my eyes and tell me. Do you love my step brother?” Theodore asked again. Aria stared into Theodore’s eyes.“Yes… I love him.”Theodore’s eyes sharpened further. His fingers tightened around the vodka glass. Theodore quickly downed the drink in one gulp.“So you have no feelings left for the man you dated?” Theodore’s question became even more pointed. “Yes. No feelings left
“Thank you so much, doctor,” Aria said to the doctor. Luther completed all the formalities.Darla, standing outside the cabin, was listening to everything. She was extremely shocked by what she heard.She returned to the car.“If that child is really Luther’s, why is Aria hiding it? Could the child be…” Darla began to think.Theodore spent most of his time outside. He and Aria were often together. Darla was restless. She rubbed her hand over her stomach. She was angry at herself.“Here I am, unable to ever get pregnant, and that bitch gets the chance to become the mother of Theodore’s child again.”Darla clenched her fists. The last time Darla was pregnant with those four people’s child, her father had forcibly made her get an abortion.Sebastian didn’t want the news of Darla’s pregnancy to spread across the world and ruin his reputation.Due to that abortion, Darla developed complications and could never bear children. If it had been possible, she would have already become the mother
“Theodore, have you gone mad?” Aria said. She couldn’t believe her ears. Theodore came closer and wrapped Aria in his arms. His face was buried in her neck. His hot breath hitting her ears. “I love you so much, Aria. I remember. I wanted to marry you. I remember everything.” His voice sank. He knew it wasn’t a right time to confess this but if it was not now, it would never be. “I knew the marriage and all, it was all spun by Darla. I only wanted you in my life.” He whispered in her ears.Theodore noticed that Aria wasn’t responding. She was pressed against his chest. Her hands were limp. Theodore bent and watched her close eyes. He realized that Aria had fainted.“Aria… Are you okay?” Theodore lightly slapped Aria’s face. But her eyes didn’t open. Her face had turned pale, bloodless. Theodore panicked. “I knew you weren’t well. Why don’t you take care of yourself?”Theodore lifted Aria into his arms and started walking toward his Rolls Royce. He wanted to take her to the hospital.
