The footsteps drew closer. I held my breath, my body tightening on instinct.
But the moment a man in a neat black suit came into view, the tension drained out of me.It was just Aaron’s assistant.
Darren.
“Miss Jones?” His voice was low, polite.
I rubbed my face quickly. “God, I thought…”
I bit my lip, cutting myself off before that name slipped out.“Mr. Carter asked me to return a few
Aaron's POV"You came to me first."I lifted a hand and grabbed her jaw."You're the one who asked for my help."My eyes locked onto hers."And the second you got what you wanted, you started looking for a way out."I felt her body tense beneath my grip."You promised me three years."My jaw tightened."And now you're trying to leave before you've even kept that promise."She swallowed and slowly shook her head."I can't keep doing this.""We fight every time we're in the same room.""We keep hurting each other.""And neither of us knows how to stop."I stayed silent.Letting her lay out all the arguments she'd prepared."This relationship isn't healthy, Aaron."The corner of my mouth lifted slightly."Healthy?"I shook my head."Since when was that part of our deal?"She fell silent."From the beginning, this was nothing mo
Angela's POVQuestion after question was thrown at me without a break. I kept my head down and continued walking.It didn't make them back off."Angela!""Just one comment!"One of them was walking backward right in front of me, snapping photos as he moved.As a result, my path was blocked.I was forced to stop.Camera flashes exploded from every direction again.I tried moving to the left.They shifted with me.I tried the right.They did the same thing.It felt like being trapped in the middle of a storm of flashing lights, shouted questions, and voices coming at me from every angle."Angela, answer the question!"I tightened my grip on my suitcase.My rideshare was still parked up ahead.So close.Yet somehow it felt miles away.The paparazzi kept boxing me in, leaving me almost no room to move.My heartbeat quickened with every passing secon
Angela's POVA few minutes later, I realized Aaron wasn't making just one dish.He was making several.Curious, I got up and walked over to the kitchen.The sight in front of me stopped me in my tracks.On the kitchen island sat slices of toasted sourdough, grilled chicken, and roasted potatoes.Meanwhile, a pot of hot chicken soup simmered on the stove.I stared at everything in disbelief for a moment.Even the way he plated the food looked professional."So, you can cook."He didn't answer.My gaze shifted to the large freezer beside me."I remember seeing a bunch of labeled containers in your freezer. They had the names of dishes and dates on them. Did you make those?""No."His answer was short."Then who did?""A chef.""I hired him to keep the freezer stocked."I nodded.Aaron turned off the stove and set down the ladle."I don't have time
Angela's POVAaron immediately turn toward me.I was still trying to act like nothing was wrong when another wave of nausea hit me so hard that I couldn't hold it back anymore.One hand braced against the brick wall while the other covered my mouth.“Ugh...”I doubled over and finally threw up.My breathing turned uneven as I tried to steady myself.A few seconds later, Aaron was standing right in front of me.“What’s wrong with you?”I quickly wiped my mouth and forced myself to stand straight.“Nothing.”His expression remained cold. He simply stared at me for a few seconds.Then his next words hit me completely off guard.“We’re going to the hospital.”My eyes widened.“What?”“No.” I shook my head immediately. “There’s no need.”“I haven’t eaten all
Aaron's POVWhen I got home later that night, I loosened my tie as I walked into the house. I dropped onto the couch, exhausted after a long day, but Angela was still stuck in my head.I walked farther into the house looking for her, but she was nowhere to be found.I immediately pulled out my phone.The call connected after the second ring.“Where is she?”“At a private members club in West Hollywood.”“Who’s she with?”“Alone.”“Send me the address,” I said before grabbing my car keys from the table.“Yes, sir.”***Less than thirty minutes later, I walked into the private club and stopped in front of one of the rooms.The moment I stepped inside, both of them immediately turned toward me.Angela froze while Lyla’s expression changed instantly.My gaze fell to the thick envelope sitting on the t
Angela's POVLyla’s name popped up on my phone screen.“Hello?”“Let’s meet.”“Now?”“Yes.”I closed my eyes for a moment.“Lyla, there are paparazzi everywhere right now.”“I know.” Her tone sharpened immediately. “That’s why I already picked a private place.”“I’ll send you the address,” she said quickly. “Use the back entrance. No one will see you.”Before I could respond, she hung up.***That night, about forty minutes later, the car I was in stopped behind a private members’ club in West Hollywood.The place was well-known among celebrities because paparazzi couldn’t just walk in.I pulled on a hoodie and cap before getting out of the car.A staff member led me inside through the back entrance without saying much.A few minut
Angela's POVI immediately recognized the two people walking behind Beth. Lauren and Natalie. We used to be with the same agency. We used to sit in the same casting waiting rooms.Beth stopped beside my table and leaned in slightly, like she felt a little guilty.“Angel
Angela's POVI stared at the screen. Aaron’s name was still glowing on the screen. My thumb hovered over it.I decided not to answer and waited until the ringing stopped on its own.I let out a slow breath, unsure what Aaron would do when he realized I was ignoring him
Angela’s POVI didn’t expect to get caught like this.Aaron’s gaze stayed fixed on me. Not surprised. Not angry either. That was what made my chest tighten.“Aaron…”“You heard that call?” I asked.“A script
Aaron’s POVI remembered her question about her father as I watched her sleeping face.Right.I was the one who helped her father get the job at my company.I didn’t have a rational reason.I just did it.Her eyelids twitched. Slowly, she woke up.
