Aria's P.o.v

“No Liam, you're not staying here. I'm fine!” I was offended that he was doing too much to piss Vaughn off.

“Let him stay.” Vaughn moved closer to them and said aloud. He didn't look offended by Liam's decision to stay with me. I was displeased by that but I knew Vaughn was more offended than I could ever be. I can't imagine how he must have felt with Liam insinuating that I was pretending about how things were going between Vaughn and me.

“Liam, you don't have to talk to your uncle like that. I wouldn't have followed you in here if I had known that this is what you intend to do. It's a slap on my face too.” Vivian tried to caution Liam who refused to listen to her as well.

“I'm staying, mum. I know you know that Aria is not doing fine with Vaughn. I know you are aware of that. So why do we keep pretending in this family? Why can't you guys do things the right way?” Liam seemed as though he had been upset about things before his visitation to the hospital because I didn

  • SUBSTITUTE BRIDE: My Cold Billionaire Husband.   Chapter 85

    Aria's P.o.v When I heard Vivian call out Liam's name, I began to have a rethink. I then realized why she was looking at me like that because she thought Liam was the one whose head was buried underneath me. I wondered why she would ever think that I would give in to Liam in the hospital where Vaughn brought me to or even ever give in to him. I was never going to do that. I knew I liked him then, even after what happened between him and Rachael but after staying with Vaughn, Liam felt like a belittling for me to be with. I couldn't even explain why, probably because of Vaughn. Was like a daydream man to be with and never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I would be his wife or be in the position I was in. I rolled my eyes and shook my head for Vivian. “You've got it all wrongly.” Vivian walked over to me but before she got to where Vaughn was, he removed his head from underneath the duvet and stood straight beside me. Vivian turned her back immediately. “Gosh! Have some

    Aria's P.o.v I knew I had not had enough of the tender taste of Vaughn's lips. His lips were just the kind that one can never get enough of. Maybe it was just me that didn't have the self-control to just have a short taste of his lips and be satisfied with it. I just couldn't. I needed to stay with it for a long period for me to be satisfied with it. I held Vaughn's head as he tried retreating and kissed him passionately. Making several smirk sounds as our lips got intertwined with themselves. I hoped Victoria didn’t hear any of those but I knew that if she wasn't deep in sleep she would have heard all that was going down and I wasn't going to care about that at that moment because there was always nothing compared to being in a loving moment with Vaughn for me. He was just like a toxic addiction that I was never supposed to be exposed to for the benefit of my safety. As we kissed, Vaughn moved his right hand and placed them slowly on my breast before he started rubbing gently ar

    Aria's P.o.v “Yeah, the young boy is just being naive. I don't know why he keeps saying things as if I'm a serial killer or something more like I just kill people for no reason. I don't know why he thinks that's all I do with my life. He's just an ingrate. I have raised him and his mum, and this whole family entirely by myself. And that's all I get. A very annoying nephew who will stop at nothing to spoil my reputation just because I refused to give him a place in one of the large businesses as he had requested and that's because I don't see him acting as if he is capable of doing so. He still clubs and spends money lavishly. I don't see how such a person can manage a company like the one he requested. Moreover, I told him to work there as an assistant to one of my trusted workers so he could be closely monitored and shown how the business works since he was interested in it but Loam never showed up to women. He said the position I gave him to work in was a demoralizing positi

    Aria's P.o.v My face and Liam's face met as I turned slightly to the side to see him speak. Liam had walked closer to the front, next to me. “What are you doing awake by this time?” I asked surprised when I saw him. I was certain we had spent over two hours since we left the room. Liam stopped beside me, on my left and said, “I'm never just going to sit back and allow anything bad happen to you.” He held the hands of my wheel that was at my back and was ready to wheel me back into the hospital even while Vaughn was there. I wondered where Liam's audacity the last days came from. Just as he was about to turn me, Vaughn held his hand with one of his arms and tossed his hands off my wheelchair. I wasn't sure about what was going to happen but I knew that if I didn't intervene, things were going to head south in no time. “Why did you touch my hand, huh? You think I'm scared of you? You think I'm scared of what you'd do to me? Go ahead! Try to kill me just like you kill everybody t

    Aria's P.o.v Vaughn pushed me on the wheel to a lovely garden that was at the side of the hospital. The calm movements of the trees made the garden feel very peaceful and cool. I embraced the smell of nature as I took deep breaths in while Vaughn was still pushing me further into the garden. I thought I had seen how beautiful it was as we arrived until we got farther down and Vaughn stopped at a party that was demarcated with railings to separate the large water from the hospital. I didn't expect that there was a way a sea was linked to the hospital. I see why the garden felt so cool to stay in. Vaughn had wheeled me closer to the immovable bench in the garden. While I was already enjoying the nice view of the garden and the sea, Vaughn walked to my left side and sat closer to me but the arm of the wheelchair obstructed us from having direct contact with one another. “I hope you're not too cold?” Vaughn asked me in a quiet voice like he didn't want to cut in the long quietness an

    Aria's P.o.v“Oh, this is your wife, Aria?” She began to act less cute than I expected because she asked obvious questions and neither Vaughn nor I said anything as he spoke. I was hoping she wouldn't say anything that would make the air absurd because she seemed to have had a lot of things to say ahead, in case she finally met us. “Your wife is beautiful in person.” She acknowledged my beauty and that made me feel comfortable that she was a good person, rather than someone who just wanted irrelevant information about our marriage.“Thank you for your kind words,” Vaughn said nicely to her, without smiling. I don't know why but Vaughn had a habit of not smiling in public like it was an intentional act or it would make him lose his beauty. “I have read a lot of blogs about the both of your complex love stories. I'm also a writer. I feel like people have a lot of assumptions that they make concerning your relationship. I think you look very happy together. One can easily tell that you'

    Aria's P.o.v“Don't you dare say something as terrible as that about your uncle? Whatever he has, he builds it himself. You know nothing and I don't know why you keep referring to his wealth. That same man you call greedy and all sorts of names raised you with an avalanche of wealth. He sent you to school, bought us our house, established mum,... You know nothing about all that you've said about Vaughn!”Vivian shook her head and reduced her voice to calmly speak to Liam. “Liam, you're treading on the wrong path. You have no right to be entitled to your uncle’s wealth. Who told you he doesn't have plans for you but you don't even act like you can be trusted with anything? Even I, wouldn't trust you with anything important because you have not learned to take responsibility for your life.”Liam stood up and stormed out of the room. He was offended and I knew his mum had not intended to make him feel less or insult him but he had pushed her to her core. Vivian seemed frustrated as she

    Aria's P.o.vThe doctor turned to Vaughn and said, “This won't repeat itself. I'm sorry you and your wife had to experience this. Pardon us.” I didn’t know that he understood Vaughn's expression more than I did because I didn't think Vaughn was in any way offended by that until he apologized, then I read through his cold gaze at them. “As long as you want me to keep using this hospital. I won't mind if I never see her again.” Vaughn added and went to sit away from my bed so he could watch the doctor as he did a thorough check-up on me.In no time, the doctor was done checking my body and the nurse noted down vitals before she administered medications to me.“Do you have anything other than this troubling you?” The nurse asked me with a warm smile as she checked my legs for herself. I shook my head in response to her, telling her no. I fixed my eyes on Vaughn as he sat still at the other end of the room, monitoring all that we were doing. Vaughn stood up after they left and walked
