~Arya~

I don’t think I could have ever been prepared to hear those words from him. Just yesterday, he promised to break up with Cassie. Now, he wanted to marry her. A part of me was happy for her. I knew this was probably what she wanted the most in her life. But the other part of me -the selfish part that wanted Lucien all to myself- was wishing that it was a prank from him.

But it wasn’t. The look of determination in his eyes was enough to confirm that. And I couldn't even be brave enough to feel bad about it, because this was what I deserved.

This was what I got for wanting another woman’s man.

“What do you say to thatt?” Lucien questioned, looking back at the road. “You don’t have a problem with it, right?”

I swallowed, looking everywhere but at him. My hands balled on my laps. I had to maintain my composure to prevent blabbering unnecessary things to him. “Congatulations, Lucien. You and Cassie will make a very good couple.”

“I know,” he replied with a cocky undertone. “Back to

  • She Came Back to Burn: The Return of the Amnesiac Wife.   ~SIXTY-FIVE: TEMPORARY RESIDENT

    ~Arya~On hearing my father's voice, Edgar sprang away from me. My father walked in and lowered himself into a chair beside the large table, leaning forwards with his fingers interlocked as he regarded Edgar with an unimpressed frown. “What do you think you’re doing, young man? Are you trying to hurt my daughter in the company she’s meant to inherit?”Edgasr scramble to his feet. He gave my father a quick bow, panic flickering across his features.“I didn’t mean to hurt her. We were having a conversation and she suddenly tried to leave. I only wanted to stop her.”My father’s brows knitted together. “Have you gone on social media today at all?” he questioned. Edgar shook his head. “Arya is trending for the wrong reasons. Why haven’t you done anything to stop her assault videos from spreading?””“Assault videos? What are you talking about?”“You don’t even have an idea? Your wife was ambushed in your company premises. I let her remain married to you because I thought you’d protect her,

  • She Came Back to Burn: The Return of the Amnesiac Wife.   ~SIXTY-FOUR: STUPID DECISION

    ~Arya~“What are you implying? That I'm trying to accuse the Manchesters falsely?" Edgar questioned. “They organized that auction. If there are any questions, it should be directed at them without issues.”“There shouldn't be any questions.” I gestured to the screen. “Apparently, someone snuck into the company and replaced the paintings."His eyes widened. He stared at the video playing, utter shock etched down his face. The conference room fell silent, the only noise in it the heaves of resignation from Edgar's lawyers. “This is a lie,” he finally drawled after minutes of replaying the video. I refuse to believe this.”I rolled my eyes, totally exhausted. It had been a long day. I could really do without hearing him whine one more time. “How convenient is it that the painting got stolen as soon as it landed in Obsidian Holdings?”“The level of security there is not as high as the Manchesters’. That’s one thing I have to take care of.”“Don’t go bossy on me right now, Arya. Let’s s

  • She Came Back to Burn: The Return of the Amnesiac Wife.   ~SIXTY-THREE: RELY ON LUCIEN

    ~Arya~I blew out a deep breath, my eyes darting between mother and son. I had done enough damage to them already. Ruining their relationship shouldn’t add to that. If my presence here was bound to cause a rift between them, then I had to leave. “What?” Regina retorted. “I can’t even talk about what happened. Wasn’t she your best friend? She should understand. She made you turn out that way, what’s the big deal with telling her a few truths?”My lips quivered. I pushed saliva down my parched throat. Ccassie watched the scene unfolding before her with strange interest, as if she was having fun with it. “I should go, Mrs Vale.” I angled over in a deep bow, blinking away my tears. “I just remembered that I have somewhere to be.” “Good. Leave. Don’t come back here. Lucien may not be against it, but I am.”With that, I spun on my heel and scurried out of the house desperately. No one came after me. They were too busy bickering too. I cleaned the tears clinging to my lashes and booke

  • She Came Back to Burn: The Return of the Amnesiac Wife.   ~SIXTY-TWO: AN OVERDOSE

    ~Arya~What does he think it looks like? I’m having fun. If Cassie can be a bitch, I can be worse.“Nothing,” I replied, batting my lashes innocently. “I’m just telling her what we talked about. It’s not much of a big deal, is it?”“It seems like you’re trying to get on my nerves. That’s weird, Arya. You have a husband. Why would you try to make me jealous of you and Lucien.”She was apt. I hated that she could see through me so easily. She smirked and grabbed a pitcher of juice to fill a glass. “If i didn’t know better, i’d think you want him.”“What if I do?” I arched my brow. “Isn’t that what you think already? That’s why you set people to ambush me afterall.”“ARYA!”“Don’t use that tone with me,” I snapped at Lucien. “I won’t sit here and let her talk to me anyhow. If there’s anyone you should reprimand, it’s your petty fiancee.”Cassie sucked in a sharp breath, her eyes widening. “What the hell did you just say?”“You heard me correctly.”“What is going on here?” Silence stretch

  • She Came Back to Burn: The Return of the Amnesiac Wife.   ~SIXTY-ONE: WHEN WE WERE TOGETHER

    ~Arya~“Come in,” Cassie huffed, stretching a hand out to me. “We should get you cleaned up. This is partly my fault anyway. See, I own up to my mistakes when I'm wrong. I did this on purpose. I thought you could use a little lesson to put you in your place.”“So you recruited people to humiliate me in public?”She laughed, waving her hand in front of her face dismissively. “I didn’t recruit them. They just love me a little too much. I even get scared of the fans I have sometimes. Let's put that behind us now, Arya. Come inside and freshen up.”Without sparing me another glance, Lucien stalks inside, leaving me with the wench that's his fiancee. She ushers me in, taking control of the house like its hers. It will be hers soon. She has every right to act like that. But it still causes my stomach to twist.“Lucien told me you plan to get married soon,” I said, ignoring her outstretched hand and walking in on my own. Keeping a plastic smile on, I glanced at her. “Congratulatioons.”Her b
