Aria’s POV

I noticed the headlights through the curtains before anyone said a word. My mom had gone to her room to fold laundry and I was pretending to scroll through my phone on the couch, even though my mind had been blank for hours. The moment I realized that car was his, something in my chest tightened, not in the painful dramatic way people describe, but in a way that made me sit up slowly like my body wasn’t sure how to react.

He didn’t text. He didn’t call. He simply showed up.

I watched him step out of the car through the small gap between the curtains. He stood there for a moment, running a hand over his face like he was trying to gather himself before knocking. When he finally walked toward the door, my mom called my name quietly from the hallway.

“He’s here again,” she said.

“I know.”

I stood up because sitting any longer felt impossible.

Before she could say anything else, I walked outside. I didn’t want him inside the house again. I didn’t want my mom watc

  • Falling for my Saviour   Chapter 123

    ARIA’S POV The Wedding For a second wedding I felt nervous. I didn’t recognize myself in the mirror at first. I stood there in the small room the stylist set up for me, staring at the last details being pinned, smoothed, fixed. My dress wasn’t overly dramatic. It wasn’t loud or heavy or glittery. It felt like me clean lines, soft fabric, elegant but not too much, with a small hand-painted design at the hem that matched one of my favorite patterns from the art pieces Damien always loved watching me create. My mother stood behind me adjusting the last curl of my hair. She had been crying since morning and kept telling everyone she wasn’t crying, even while wiping her face with the corner of her sleeve. My brother kept pacing in the hallway, too excited to sit still. Elma kept peeking into the room, asking if she could come inside again even though she had already come in three times to hug me. Every time I looked at them, something inside my chest filled in a way I didn’t know

  • Falling for my Saviour   Chapter 122

    Damien’s POV I spent the entire afternoon in the backyard, trying to arrange everything without making it look forced. I wasn’t good at this kind of thing. I knew how to organize men, how to coordinate shipments, how to run operations worth millions, but setting up flowers and lights made me feel like I was handling the most fragile mission of my life. I kept checking the list I made earlier. I had written it at three in the morning when I couldn’t sleep. Every line had one purpose make her smile. Make her feel loved. Make her feel chosen. Not because of promises made under pressure, and not because of chaos that pushed us together. Because I wanted her. Because she deserved a proposal that came from my heart, not from fear or confusion. Mara helped me carry the last crate of candles to the poolside, and even she looked confused at first. She kept glancing at me as if waiting for me to change my mind, but when she saw how serious I was, she stopped asking questions. By seven

  • Falling for my Saviour   Chapter 121

    Aria Damien told me he was bringing her home. When I finally heard the car pull into the driveway, I stepped outside without realizing I had moved. The light hit the hood of the car as Damien climbed out from the driver’s side, but he didn’t look at me first. He went straight to the back door and opened it like he had carried this moment in his chest for years. My eyes followed his movements, and when he stepped aside, that was when I saw her. She sat with a blanket wrapped gently around her shoulders, her back hunched like she didn’t know how to hold her body anymore. Her hair fell softly over her cheeks, and there was a distant look in her eyes that made something shift inside me. She looked fragile, yes, but not in a weak way. It was the kind of fragility that came from surviving too much, the kind that felt raw and unprotected. Damien reached inside and eased her forward with careful hands. He held her like she belonged nowhere else but in his arms. When he lifted her, h

  • Falling for my Saviour   Chapter 119

    Aria I spent the afternoon in the kitchen with my mom, helping her prepare one of her recipes. She moved around the space like she’d been doing it every day for years, and I tried to copy each step she showed me. She passed me a bowl of tomatoes and told me to add them little by little so they wouldn’t ruin the consistency of the sauce. I leaned closer to the pot and sprinkled them cautiously, trying not to make a mess. “You used to stand on a stool beside me and toss everything in at once,” she said with a small smile. “Then you’d laugh when I had to fix it. You were mischievous even as a child.” I smiled back even though I couldn’t fully remember the moment she talked about. Listening to her stories filled a space in me that had been empty for a long time. I stirred the sauce and let the rhythm calm me. My mom moved to the counter and folded a cloth neatly before looking at me again. “Now that you’ve settled in, I want to ask you something important,” she said gently. “Do

  • Falling for my Saviour   Chapter 118

    Damien’s POV I walked into her room early the next morning because I couldn’t stay away any longer. I didn’t sleep. I barely sat down the whole night. I just kept replaying everything the officer told me, and the look on her face last night when she opened her eyes for those few seconds. I kept thinking maybe she wouldn’t wake up again, or maybe she’d wake up scared and not know where she was. I kept thinking about all the years she spent alone while I was out there searching like a madman. When I stepped inside the room, the first thing I noticed was her eyes were open. Not wide open, but open enough for me to know she was fully awake this time. She looked smaller somehow, tucked into the sheets, her hair a mess across the pillow, her face pale but still carrying that familiar softness I remembered from so long ago. She turned her head slightly when she heard the door. I froze because it felt like a part of my chest pulled tight all at once. “Damien?” Her voice was tiny, r
