"I confessed to taking money from him," I said. "To escape.".

He was keeping tabs on all the stories, so I took $5,000. There was no indication of a bad feeling in my mind during that time. I used it to disappear.”.

There was an extended silence from Damian. "You did what you had to do.".

My eyes were filled with tears. "Don't you think I'm a bad person?".

He gave a slow, shaken head. "No," he replied. I think you're a survivor. I think you're brave.”.

He raised his hand towards my cheek and gently scraped a tear from my skin.

“I love you,” he said.

I froze.

“You… what?”.

“I love you, Aria.

That hasn't changed. Not after your past. Not after tonight.”.

Exactly as that, an internal object broke loose for me.

I embraced him, keeping my face in his neck. “I have affection for you as well.” Then, she let out an expression.

For a prolonged duration, we simply maintained our relationship.

  • The Billionaire’s Hidden Heir   Chapter Fifty-Four

    Aria. The tension persisted throughout the evening.' Locke and I were in his office, with the weight of everything we were about to face.' Valerie's presence was lingering and becoming more undulating with each step. I could feel it. The atmosphere was suffocating, and I couldn't help but feel like we were running out of time. Locke wore glasses, his eyes as intense as the man who had taken control of a situation before. His jaws were unbreakable. He had to endure the effects of sleeplessness, constant monitoring, and incessant preparation for an enemy he couldn't shake off. With a low, controlled voice, Locke expressed his frustration by saying, "I'm not sure how long I can stay away from her.". Exhaustion, and she won't stop until she has her way. I moved towards him, my feet firm but obstructive.'". I was taken aback by the terror in his eyes. He was always in control. Whenever in charge. Despite everything, I witnessed the growth of his armor and it left me feeling terrified.

    Aria. I felt a surge of emotion in my chest as Locke read out the contents of the envelope. I couldn't help but notice his features twisting in confusion and then darkening, leaving the room in a state of silence. I inquired again, my voice hardly more than a whisper, worried that speaking too much would cause great tension. Locke didn't answer right away. The man's jaw was clenched tightly as he stared at the paper in his hands, unknowingly. What happened? The muscle in his throat acted as he consumed heavily. As he slowly brought down the paper, his eyes twinkled with mine. Despite starting with, "this...". He appeared to be lost for a moment, as if he couldn't explain what was written there. "It's from my past," pressed his penis with an awkward tone. I stepped forward, yearning for more. "What the hell is going through in my life?". Locke, please.”. He looked back at the paper with interest, as if his attention was on something else. Despite his attempts to hide the truth,

    Aria. There was this woman in the doorway that I couldn't ignore.. I couldn't help but feel cold, watching her smile and surveying us like we were on the run. I found it familiar, but couldn't locate what she was. Her gaze made me feel as though I was in her presence for the entire time.' Her eyes had a force of fear, which was dangerous and something I wasn't prepared for. Despite Locke's arm resting on my shoulder, his expression was incomprehensible. He was causing me to feel anxious, and I could sense the tension between us. He knew her. I could tell he was standing tall, shoulders down, jaw locked. As I posed the question, my voice became unclear and awkward. "Who are you," I replied. Her smile only intensified as she stepped out, her heels in contention. She shook on the floor. "Oh, sweetie," she exclaimed with an air of mocking sweetness. I ingested with great force, feeling pain in my chest. Her words made me feel like I was missing out on something. That's exactly what

    Aria. It was a complete stupendous silence.'... I was frozen in my chair, with a heavy heart, as I looked around at the stranger at the door. Although his face was obscured by the darkness, he stood out as an obvious figure. There was an intention behind his presence there. I had apprehension that the storm was all around us. Locke didn't move. He stood there with a jaw clenched and eyes fixed on the figure. He had a stressed posture, his body tightly wrapped and poised to face any challenges. The unfamiliar person moved, entering the hazy light. He was tall, had big shoulders and a strong build.'... His now-expanding face made me feel cold. Although I didn't recognize him, the look in his eyes made me feel uneasy. Something cold, calculating. His friendship with Locke was not mutual. With a heavy voice, I asked myself: "Who are you?". It was as if Locke's hand tugged at me, the gentle pull on my shoulder that made me want to keep standing. But I couldn't. I didn't want to sit st

    Aria. The man's laugh echoed around the room like the sound of chains rattling in the dark. I could feel my pulse quicken as he took another step toward us, his presence pressing down on me like a weight I couldn't shake off. Every inch of him screamed danger, and I couldn't help but wonder how we were going to get out of this. I glanced at Locke, but his eyes were locked on the man, his muscles tense, his body radiating a cold fury I had never seen before. It was like he was a different person dangerous, untouchable, like the storm waiting to break. "You think you can protect her, don't you? " The man's voice was dripping with mockery. "How cute. ". Locke's jaw tightened, his fists clenching at his sides. "If you're smart, you'll walk away now, " he said, his voice low and threatening. But the man didn't budge. Instead, he raised his hand, casually gesturing between us. "I'm not here to fight, Locke, " he said with a smirk. "I'm here to show you the truth. ". I didn't like

    Aria. The tone was sober, it sent shivers down my spine that made up for every last bone in my body. It wasn't just any voice. It was his voice. My body thrashed with a heavy pulse that could not be heard without any assistance. Darkness: The walls were covered in strange shadows from the window but all I could see was the man, a few feet away (from the corner). My thoughts were still haunted by the words he spoke, their impact being felt in my chest. Why? It's not your place to come here, Aria. » Read more. I breathed deeply, and for a moment, my thoughts were racing towards running. But where would I go? Even though I was with Locke, I felt vulnerable and exposed. Regardless of the person who had been watching us and knew me, they held dominion over me. Power I couldn't yet understand. Locke stood before me, his large form creating a strong barrier between me and the shadow man. He was tense and had all his muscles in knots for the inevitable. His presence was unwavering, his d
