Ariana’s POV

I had just finished my bath and walked downstairs. As I stepped into the living room, I glanced around, expecting to see Damien, maybe reading his journal or watering the flowers like he usually did. But he wasn’t there. The house felt empty, and I wondered where he could be.

I moved toward the flowers by the window, the ones Damien always took care of. Bending down, I inhaled their fresh scent, a small smile forming on my lips. I could almost picture him standing here, watering them with that serious look on his face.

Realizing what I was doing, I quickly straightened up and shook my head. What am I even thinking?

I walked to the dining area, my eyes landing on the empty table. A sigh escaped my lips.

"God, I really miss you, Martha," I muttered. If she were here, she would’ve made breakfast by now.

My phone beeped in my pocket. I pulled it out and checked the screen.

An alert from yesterday's design sale.

My eyes widened, and excitement bubbled up inside me. I jumped up

  • One Night One Chance    Chapter 45

    Damien’s POV I stepped out into the hallway and pulled out my phone. I had gotten a text from Alex. > “Boss, where are you? Left the hospital already, and I dropped Miss Cindy back to her villa.”.“Check the CCTV footage from Cindy’s villa,” I said. “I want to know everything that happened there tonight.” As soon as I was done talking, I ended the call. I stood still for a while, not moving. I felt my heart pounding loudly in my ears. I curled my hand into a fist by my side. I couldn’t think straight. The only thing in my head was Ariana, and how she had looked at me back there at the party, like she needed saving, like she needed me to save her from that terrible moment. Like she needed me to protect her. How she sat on the floor, looking helpless. How she had winced in pain in the car as she held her wrist. How my heart skipped the moment my eyes landed on her wrist, to

  • One Night One Chance    Chapter 44

    Ariana’s POV I sat in the car quietly, without saying a word, too heartbroken to speak. my body was shaking slightly. I got bullied in there and I still got the blame. Cindy was worse than I thought, she would do anything just to get Damien and she doesn't mind hurting anyone even herself. and Damien? I had expected him to speak up for me or at least protect me, but he didn’t do that. He acted otherwise. And just then I realized this contract is the worst decision of my life. A throbbing pain ran through my body from my wrist, and this time I couldn’t hide it anymore. The pain was unexplainable. “Uhhh,” I winced slightly in pain and held my wrist. Damien stared at me, his eyes falling on my wrist. I tried to hide it but it was too late, he saw it already. He didn’t say a word, I saw him clenched his jaw tightly and tighten his grip around the car’s wheel. Suddenly he made a turn. Where was he taking me? This was clearly not the way to the villa. “Where are you ta

    Ariana’s POV Cindy stood there, her arms crossed, flanked by Lisa and Janet on either side. They had a smirk on their faces. She stepped closer, her heels giving soft clicks on the tiled floor. My heart skipped a beat, but I summoned up all the courage I had left. “What do you want?” I asked. Cindy rolled her eyes. “Well,” she said, eyeing my champagne-drenched dress, “that’s quite a look. You look drenched… and desperate..and honestly it suits you more than anything.” Lisa let out a laugh. Janet added, “You should’ve seen your face back there. Honestly, you looked like you were about to cry. I almost took pity on you.” I clenched my jaw. “You think this is funny? What do you even want from me? Just leave me alone!” Cindy arched a brow. “Sweetheart, we haven’t even started.” She walked around me slowly, dragging her eyes up and down like I was a piece of trash someone forgot to throw away. “You really had some nerve showing up here, you know,” she said, her voi

    Ariana’s POV “Oh, look who we have here,” Cindy said, her eyes landing on me like I was something unpleasant to the eyes. That fake smile never left her lips, but the eyes... they never lie. Her eyes clearly gave her away. My body stiffened, and I didn’t even know what to say. My hands clenched my purse tighter as I tried to hide the mess of emotions crawling under my skin. “H…hi,” I stammered and forced a smile. She looked me up and down like I was something that disgusted her. “Uh,” she muttered, disdain filling her eyes. “Let me introduce you to the guests, Damien,” she said suddenly, turning her attention to Damien her face now full of smiles like she wasn’t the same person who had just looked at me like I was filth. Before I could process anything, she slipped her arm around his...and no, he didn’t pull away. He didn’t chase her off with that cold voice and distant attitude like he always did. It was very different this time. As she guided Damien toward the gu
