Second Marriage to the Billionaire: Ex-Husband Begs Me Not to Go Chapter 422
Aria hesitated, eyes dropping to the faint smile playing at the corner of Archer’s lips. Then, with a reluctant shuffle, she walked around the desk to stand in front of him.He reached for her hand, fingers brushing gently across her soft palm before trailing along each slender finger. A shiver ran up her spine, a tingling current that left her breathless.With a slow turn of his chair, Archer shifted to face her fully. One hand continued to hold hers, while the other slipped around her waist, drawing her gently into his lap.“I’m not busy,” he said with a soft laugh, placing a light kiss on her brow.“Archer… this is your office,” she whispered, one hand pressing lightly against his shoulder. She meant to push him away, but instead found herself clutching tighter.He leaned in, his voice low and calm. “I knew you were coming. No one’s getting through—Julian is outside.”Aria’s face flushed. So Julian just knew not to interrupt because… what, this was expected? She barely had tim

Aria knew all too well—she had let her feelings for Larry blind her. She had allowed him to hurt her again and again. And maybe, just maybe, that same mistaken gratitude had made her go easy on Mark’s mother after what she did.She let out a quiet, self-deprecating laugh and shook her head.Lost in thought, she unknowingly wandered to the front desk.“Mrs. Duncan!” someone suddenly called out.Aria blinked, startled, and looked up to see the receptionist blushing in embarrassment.“Sorry, I mean… Miss Jackson…” the receptionist stammered.Aria smiled gently, trying to ease her nerves. “Is Archer busy right now?”“I’m not sure,” the receptionist said quickly. “I can call and ask. But Mr. Duncan left instructions—any time you visit, you’re welcome to go straight up.”She was already reaching for the phone when Aria stopped her.“No, it’s alright.” Aria’s voice was soft. She felt like she was barging in unannounced, and what if he was in the middle of something important?She wa

Back then, moved by what she’d believed had happened, Aria had started thinking more and more about Larry.She’d only been thirteen—young, impressionable, and at that tender age when feelings start to bloom. Once someone took root in her heart, it was hard to let go.Worse, she’d unconsciously begun to idealize him, blinding herself to all his flaws.If Fifi had told her this story back then, she probably wouldn’t have believed a word of it.Aria had always been the kind of girl who gave her whole heart once she cared about someone. Once she decided to trust, nothing anyone said could shake it. She believed only what she saw and felt herself—only the good.“Why are you telling me all this now?” Aria finally asked. “I thought you’ve always wanted me to break up with Archer.”“I still do,” Fifi scoffed, her mouth curving into a cold smile. “I never liked you being around the Duncan family. Even now, I’d prefer if you two split up. But I also want you to wake up and stop clinging to

Aria followed Fifi to the café on the ground floor of Duncan Industries.Fifi ordered a vanilla latte. Aria didn’t get anything—she wasn’t planning to stay long.Until the coffee arrived, Fifi didn’t speak. Aria had nothing to say to her either. They just sat there, staring each other down.Aria finally looked away and lowered her gaze, not wanting to meet Fifi’s eyes.It wasn’t until the aroma of coffee drifted over the table and the server placed the cup down that Aria finally lifted her head.“What is it you wanted to say?” she asked.Fifi took a sip, then carefully dabbed the foam from her lips with a napkin, making sure not to smudge her perfect lipstick.“I remember you nearly drowned when you were younger. You were, what, thirteen?” she asked casually.Aria didn’t answer. Of course she remembered. She had only ever fallen into the water once—when she was thirteen.Fifi pressed on. Her voice held a hint of something unreadable.“At the time, Archer was still studying ov

“Let go of me,” Aria said sharply.But Mark wouldn’t. “No. Tell me—what other reason could there be for him suddenly transferring me overseas?”“Maybe it’s because you won’t stop harassing me,” Aria shot back coldly. “Or maybe Fifi begged him to give you a promotion.”She let out a derisive laugh. “Isn’t that what you came to the Duncan family for in the first place? A better title, a better future. Well, congratulations. You got exactly what you wanted. And now you’re spinning conspiracy theories? Aren’t you tired?“Mark, he’s already given you a promotion. Why are you still clinging to me? Just let me go.”Mark clenched his jaw, refusing to release her. “What will it take for you to believe me?”Aria’s expression turned icy. “After everything you and your mother did—spreading those disgusting rumors about me online—you think I’d ever trust a word from you and your family again?”She glanced at him with disgust. “This is a workplace. Maybe try acting like you still have some di

Aria stood up and gave a cold, scornful laugh. “You’ve got it all wrong. I’m not cold because I’m angry. I’m cold because I don’t respect you. That’s not ‘caring,’ Mark—it’s called disdain. If I hated you because I cared, trust me, I’d be showing it very differently.“The way I treat you now? It’s the same way I’d treat any stranger I don’t owe anything to. This is just professionalism. If that makes you uncomfortable, too bad. I’m not going to change. Because the only person I care about now is Archer. I don’t want to give him even the slightest reason to feel uneasy just because I was polite to you.”She turned to leave. “And if dragging me here was just some excuse to talk about this, then I’m done.”As she moved toward the door, Mark suddenly stood, his chair screeching backward as it hit his leg. He leaned across the desk and grabbed her arm.“Aria, wait,” he said, gripping her wrist. “Alright, fine—I won’t talk about that anymore. Just sit down, please. There’s something impo
