His brows shot up. "Are you guys leaving?" Theodore asked. He couldn't believe that Aria and Luther were leaving the country. “Yes, we’re leaving,” Aria said, caressing her stomach. “We’ll raise our baby in a good country.”Aria’s words left Theodore even more shocked. His heart couldn’t believe it. Even though everything ended between him and Aria, he was happy to see her around. “But Luther has just set up his business. How could he just leave?” Theodore said, grasping for an excuse. Aria waved her hand, brushing off his words. She wanted him to stop thinking about her and go through the pain which she went through for one and half years.“So what? The baby is important too. This is a symbol of our love. And after the baby is born, we’re getting married,” Aria said deliberately. Hearing this, Theodore’s heart felt like it was tearing apart. His face turned dull, yet he held his composure.“Married?” he asked.“Yes, married. It’s been a year since our engagement. We’ll get married
‘I can’t go out. My baby.” Aria said worryingly. She would never risk her baby in this fire. Theodore was holding her face. Her body was heating. He quickly took off his coat and wrapped it around Aria. They started moving toward the stairs. They couldn’t see anything except red. Aria held her stomach protectively with her hands.“Don’t worry, Aria. I won’t let anything happen to you,” Theodore said, holding her tightly. They descended the stairs and headed toward the exit.“Theo!” Aria screamed. The wooden bars on the roof were burning and falling over them. Theodore kept her safe in every move. They successfully arrived on the ground floor.“Just a few steps more and we are out.” Theodore encouraged her. Aria too, smiled with hope. They literally walked two floors down. Theodore gripped her hand and they moved cautiously. But then a large decorative pillar, engulfed in flames, began to collapse toward Aria.“Aria!” Theodore wrapped his body around her to shield her.The pillar cra
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
