Aria

I didn’t have time to think.

I didn’t have time to breathe.

The gunshot rang through the night, so loud it drowned out everything else.

For a split second, I couldn’t feel my legs.

I didn’t even know if I could still move.

Then the pain hit.

It was a sharp, searing pain that spread from my side like fire.

I gasped, clutching at the wound, but my hand came away red and sticky.

Blood.

“Aria!” Damian’s voice cut through the fog of my thoughts.

His hand was on my arm, pulling me, dragging me forward.

But my legs wouldn’t cooperate.

Everything was spinning.

“Come on, we have to move!” Damian shouted.

He pulled me up, his arm wrapped around my waist as he half-carried me through the dense forest.

But the pain was unbearable, and I could barely keep my feet under me.

“Damian…” My voice was a whisper.

“Stay with me,” he said urgently, his breath coming in harsh gasps.

He was panicking, and I could hear it in his voice. But he wasn’t slowing down.

His grip tightened around me.

  • The Billionaire’s Hidden Heir   Chapter Twenty-Three

    AriaI couldn’t breathe.I couldn’t think.The world around me blurred.Damian was… he was bleeding.Too much blood.I pressed my hands against his wound, trying to stop the bleeding.My hands were shaking, the pressure was not enough.He was still alive, I could feel it, but his body was going limp beneath my touch.“Damian, please,” I begged, my voice a whisper, desperate.“Don’t leave me.”His eyes flickered open again, weak but still trying to hold onto life.“Aria…” His voice was barely a whisper.“I’m not going anywhere… Not yet.”I wasn’t sure how to respond.His words were a lifeline, but his body was betraying him.I could feel the pulse beneath my fingertips growing weaker, and slower.I couldn’t let this happen.I wouldn’t.“You’re going to be okay, Damian. You have to be.”I told him, even though I wasn’t sure if I believed it myself.But I had to. I had to believe it for him.Lucian’s cold laughter echoed around the shack, a chilling sound that made my blood run cold.“Yo

    “Stay behind me, Aria,” he said, his voice low but firm.His eyes were filled with determination.I nodded, unable to speak.I knew he was trying to protect me, but I also knew we were running out of options.Lucian’s gaze shifted between us, calculating, studying.He wasn’t just here to kill us.He was here to break us.“You’re out of time, Damian,” Lucian said.His voice was a low growl, and the malice in it sent a shiver down my spine.“I’ve already won.”I didn’t understand.What was he talking about?Before I could react, Lucian raised his hand.His men moved like shadows, entering the shack behind him.Too many. Too fast.Damian’s eyes narrowed as the first man lunged toward him.Damian fired instantly, the shot loud and violent in the small space.The man dropped to the ground with a sickening thud.But it didn’t matter.Lucian’s men kept coming, one after another, closing in on us.Damian fought back with everything he had.His body was a blur, his movements swift and deadly a

    We made our way deeper into the woods, the sounds of our pursuers growing fainter.The trees were dense here, and the moonlight barely filtered through the branches.It was quiet for a moment. Too quiet.But my body still hummed with adrenaline.I kept my eyes on the path ahead, moving swiftly.Damian’s hand was on my back, guiding me, keeping me safe.And then, I heard it.A faint rustling behind us.I spun around, heart pounding.But it wasn’t a man in black.It was another helicopter.This one was closer. Much closer.“Damian!” I gasped.He didn’t hesitate.“We’re running out of time,” he said grimly. “We need cover. Now!”We darted to the right, moving toward a small ravine.It was a tight squeeze, but it would hide us.We scrambled down the rocky incline, my ankle throbbing with every step.Damian was right behind me, his face set in hard lines, eyes scanning the sky.Dad was struggling more than before, his breath coming in sharp bursts.We reached the bottom of the ravine just

    AriaDarkness.Everything was spinning. My head felt heavy, and my ears were ringing.For a second, I didn’t know where I was.Then the cold hit me.The hard bite of the ground against my back.I opened my eyes and chaos exploded around me.The helicopter was in pieces. Metal twisted everywhere. Smoke and fire filled the air.The pilot was slumped over the controls, blood trickling down his forehead.I pushed myself up, coughing hard.“Damian!” I screamed, panic clawing up my throat. “Dad!”There was no answer.I struggled to my feet, my ankle screaming in pain.The crash had ripped my jeans and blood covered my knees, but I didn’t care.I stumbled through the wreckage, my heart pounding like a drum.“Damian!” I cried again.Then I saw him trapped under a piece of metal, barely conscious.“No, no, no,” I muttered, rushing to him.I grabbed the metal and pushed with everything I had.It didn’t move.“Hang on, please hang on,” I sobbed.I pushed harder.My arms shook. My body screamed.

    “Damian,” I said, my voice shaking. “You’re hurt.”He shook his head. “I’m fine.”But he wasn’t. I could see the blood soaking his shirt.I grabbed a cloth from the floor and pressed it against his wound, trying to stop the bleeding.“You’re an idiot,” I muttered, blinking back tears. “A big, stupid, stubborn idiot.”He gave a weak chuckle.“Take one to know one.”For a second, we just looked at each other.No words.No lies.Just the truth.I still didn’t know if I could trust him fully.I still didn’t know if love was enough to fix everything he’d broken.But in that moment, all I knew was thisI wasn’t ready to give up on him yet.Not yet.We drove for what felt like hours, putting as much distance as we could between us and Lucian’s men. The road stretched out ahead, endless and empty.Finally, Damian pulled over to an abandoned cabin tucked deep into the woods.“We’ll hide here for now,” he said.The cabin was old, falling apart at the edges, but it would do.It had to.Inside, i

    AriaDamian’s gun didn’t waver. His whole body was tense, ready to pull the trigger if Lucian so much as breathed wrong.Lucian, for the first time, actually looked rattled. His hand hovered in the air, unsure whether to reach for his weapon or pretend he was harmless.“You’re making a mistake, Damian,” Lucian said smoothly, but there was a crack in his voice, a ripple of fear that he couldn’t hide. “You don’t want a war with me.”“You declared war the second you touched her,” Damian snapped back. His arm flexed, steady, and ready to fire. “One more move, and I won’t miss.”I stumbled backward, clutching my arm where Lucian had grabbed me. My heart was hammering against my ribs, and my knees threatened to give out, but I forced myself to stay standing.I didn’t want to be weak. Not now.Lucian’s eyes darted between us, calculating. He smiled, but it didn’t reach his eyes. “You think you can save her? You think she’s going to thank you after she learns the truth?”My stomach twisted.“

    We both took a moment to appreciate the fact that Damian had parked his car behind bushes, out of sight, and we were already set in motion. My heart raced through my chest, pounding with excitement. "Are you prepared for this?" I inquired, but the words disappeared as soon as I stopped. Damian didn't immediately glance at me. He opted to take a deep breath and exhale slowly. "No, I'm not sure.". We are unable to make an alternative decision. After his departure, the car door swung open and I followed him, my legs feeling like jelly under my feet. Despite my instinct to move fast, I was convinced we were making the wrong choice. Why did they say it was so difficult? If Lucian knew we were in his hands, what would happen? If we were unable to escape, what would be the outcome? Then Damian looked back at me with an unreadable face, telling me "Stay close to me," his voice was soft but firm. Nodding, even though I had a heavy heart, I nodded. "I'll.". We proceeded towards the gates,

  • The Billionaire’s Hidden Heir   Chapter Fifteen

    Aria. I couldn't breathe. My chest was tight, my heart rate was high.?... Even though Damian was still inside his car, the engine was running... Stone-like face, he was full of frustration and anger. Yet, there was something significantly heavier beneath that surface. Guilt. The question about the relationship with "Damian" was so intimidating that I almost had to stop talking before answering it. He finally met my gaze. He had sharp eyes and his jaw was tightly clenched, which gave me the impression that it could be broken. We're going to save your dad. It was proving difficult for me to keep up with my thoughts. I muttered, wondering how to make sense of the situation. He won't be handed over solely by Lucian. Only he cares about himself.'". Damian's tone was eerie and melancholic. "But we won't be waiting patiently for him to come back to us next.". I was hit like a wave of salt in the pan. I had no idea what Lucian was capable of, but if his ambition was to go this far, he
