Angela’s POV

I took a slow breath.

“You brought me here. What is it you actually want to say?”

Ian leaned back in his chair, a faint smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

“Nothing,” he said lightly. “I just wanted lunch with you. That’s all.”

I leaned forward slightly. “Fine. Then I’ll get straight to the point.”

“What did you do to Aaron ten years ago?” I asked. “Th

  • The Broken Angel He Claimed   Something Feels Off

    Angela’s POVThe past few weeks had been insane.Beauty campaign shoots. Luxury brand deals. Back-to-back meetings.And on top of that… I was still fulfilling my contract with Aaron.Just a little longer.Once I had enough money to pay off everything I owed him…I’d end it. This year. No matter what.Lately, things between us had turned colder than ever.He didn’t talk to me anymore.I only showed up when he asked.And I hated how meaningless I felt to him.In his eyes, I was nothing more than someone he used when he wanted to.I kept telling myself I didn’t care. That it was temporary. That I just had to hold on a little longer.But every time I left his house…the pain always came with me.***I had a photoshoot today, plus a short interview with a magazine.And from the moment I woke up, something felt off.I’d already thrown up twice before Beth even arrived.Now I was in the passenger seat while she drove, and the nausea was creeping back again.She glanced at me.“You okay?”“I

  • The Broken Angel He Claimed   A Life for a Price (Aaron's POV)

    Aaron’s POV“I’m sorry.”My chest tightened the moment I heard those words.“We couldn’t save your mother.”I just stood there, staring at him. Hearing it… but not really processing it.He led me into another room. My steps felt heavy, but I kept walking.We stopped.My mom was lying there. A white sheet covered her up to her chest. Her face was pale. She was still… not moving.I walked over slowly and stopped beside the bed.Staring at her.That was the moment I realized there was nothing left for me in this world.Time seemed to stop.Or maybe it kept moving, just without me in it.The police showed up.They asked me a few questions about my mom’s death.They said they hadn’t caught the person responsible yet. A hit-and-run, they called it. They just said they’d keep investigating.It didn’t

  • The Broken Angel He Claimed   That Day, Something in Me Died (Aaron's POV)

    Aaron’s POVI stood there for a few seconds after her hand slipped from my arm.She was already asleep, but her words were still hanging in my head.I turned and walked out of her room, heading downstairs to mine.I stepped into the bathroom. Cold water hit me the second I turned the shower on. It should’ve been enough to clear my head, but it wasn’t.I braced both hands against the wall, lowering my head as water ran down my face and neck. But I wasn’t seeing the white tiles in front of me.I saw her.Her face.The way she looked at me.The way she said she wanted to leave without hesitation.My jaw tightened.Fuck.What the hell was I thinking?I let out a rough breath.She wants to leave.That should be a good thing.That was the plan from the start, wasn’t it?Break her. Make her give up. Make her feel what I felt back then.

T

  • The Broken Angel He Claimed   Let Me Go

    Angela’s POVI turned away the second I saw Aaron kissing Lyla and walked straight back into the restroom.My chest tightened, my eyes burning. I gripped the edge of the sink, staring at my reflection in the mirror.Stupid.I shouldn’t have let things go this far.I knew exactly where I stood with him.I should’ve remembered that.I turned on the faucet and splashed cold water on my face, hoping it would dull the ache.It didn’t.The restroom door opened, and Beth walked in.“Well, there you are,” she said.“What's up?” I asked.She studied me for a moment. “You okay?”“Yeah.” I gave a small shrug. “Just a little dizzy. I had a bit too much to drink.”“Did you throw up again?”I shook my head. “No.”She nodded. “Come on. Let’s go back inside.”
