"I feel good.""And I am glad you do," Aria said.Zara now leaned against the window and stated "I finally get to quit visiting hospitals so much."Clara however just laughed softly stating "I couldn't agree more."Jaxon continued leaning against the outside of the door with his arms crossed like always being quiet and just glanced to see Mira then back towards somewhere outside the door of the room.Damian stood beside Aria standing with one hand resting lightly on Adrian's stroller. Again, he talked very little and just watched.Aria turned back to face Mira and said "thank you," again.Mira shook her h
It had been a week since the surgery.Zara pulled up in front of Claraâs apartment and leaned over the steering wheel, staring at the building with a deep frown.When Clara stepped out of the gate, adjusting her bag on her shoulder, Zara didnât even wait.âGirl, you need to move out ASAP,â she said the moment Clara got closer. âThis place is not secure. And why does it smell like this?âClara rolled her eyes, already walking toward the car. âYeah, yeah, yeah. I know. Thatâs why Iâm leaving.âZara unlocked the door. âGood. Because if I have to come here one more time, I might pass out.âClara got in and shut the door. âYouâre so dramatic.âZara started the engine, glancing at her. Then she paused.âOkay, wait.âClara frowned. âWhat?âZara turned fully to look at her. âYou look hot.âClara blinked. âWhat?ââI said you look hot,â Zara repeated, smiling. âWeâre just going to check an apartment. Why do you look like youâre about to walk into a date?âClara hit her arm lightly. âStop it, Za
Damian turned and walked straight toward the doctorâs office. Aria and Mira followed him, Zara and Clara right behind them.The doctor looked up when they entered. His eyes moved from Aria to Mira, then back to Aria again. His brows lifted.âWait,â he said slowly. âAre youâŚ?ââTheyâre twins,â Damian answered before anyone else could speak.The doctor leaned forward in his chair, studying them again. âIdentical twins.âA small smile appeared on the doctorâs face. âThatâs very promising.âHe stood up. âLetâs run the test immediately.âMira rolled up her sleeve without hesitation when the nurse brought in the tray. Aria stood beside her, watching the needle slide into Miraâs arm.âYouâre not nervous?â Zara asked softly.Mira glanced at her. âAbout saving my nephew? No.âThe nurse labeled the sample and carried it away.âResults shouldnât take long,â the doctor said. âPlease wait outside.âThey moved back to the waiting area.Aria sat down but couldnât stay still for long. After a few sec
They all turned at the same time.Damian took a step back in shock. Zaraâs fingers tightened around Claraâs arm and Clara didnât move at all.Aria stayed where she was.Her breathing had changed. It became short and uneven She stared at the woman standing a few feet away. Same eyes. Same mouth. Same face she had longed to see for years and could never quite hold onto.Damain broke the silence by speaking first. âWho the hell are you?ââI told you. Iâm their aunt.â came the woman's reply.Damian turned slowly to Aria, his eyes demanding answers.Zara shook her head. âNo, wait. What do you mean youâre their aunt? Why do you look like Aria?â She looked back and forth between them. âAria, why does she look like you? What is going on? I donât think Iâm seeing straight.âAriaâs lips parted but nothing came out at first. Everything felt loud in her head. Her pulse. Her breathing.Then she whispered the name.âMira.âThe womanâs expression shifted, small smile appeared. âHello, sister. It'
The hospital doors slid open, and Aria rushed in with Adrian clutched tightly against her chest.âHeâs burning up,â she told the nurse at the emergency desk, her voice shaking. âHe wonât wake up.âWithin seconds, they were moving. A stretcher. Quick hands. Calm voices that felt too calm for her racing heart.They took Adrian from her arms and wheeled him through double doors. Aria followed until a nurse gently stopped her.âMaâam, please wait here.ââTheyâre going to run tests,â another nurse assured her. âWeâll take care of him.âAria stood frozen as they disappeared down the corridor. Her hands still felt the weight of him.A few minutes later, a pediatric doctor approached her.âWeâre running blood work and checking for infection,â he explained steadily. âHe has a very high fever. Weâve placed him on IV fluids to stabilize him.ââWhy isnât he waking up?â Aria asked, her voice barely steady.
Clara narrowed her eyes at Jaxon. âSo you did research on me? Like you went behind my back and ran a background check?âHer tone wasnât loud, but it was sharp. The playful mood in the room shifted slightly.Jaxon didnât flinch. He simply shrugged, his expression calm. âItâs necessary to know details about everyone connected to Zara. To check if there are threats. Or risks.ââThreats?â Clara repeated. âIâm her friend, not a criminal.ââI didnât say you were,â he replied evenly. âItâs procedure.âClara huffed under her breath. âThatâs still breaching someoneâs privacy.âJaxon met her gaze without apology. âPrivacy is a luxury in my line of work.âShe didnât respond after that. She crossed her arms and looked away, clearly displeased. She valued her independence. She valued her space. Knowing someone had looked into her life without her consent unsettled her more than she expected.Zara sighed softly. âClara, Iâm sorry. On his behalf.ââYou donât need to apologize,â Jaxon said.âI do,â Z
Three days had passed since the chaos at Damianâs mansion. Three days since Zara had clawed at Elenaâs perfect hair while Aria tried to keep peace.The morning light spilled softly through the curtains of Jaxonâs penthouse bedroom. Zara lay sprawled across his bare chest, her legs tangled with his,
Zara gasped when she heard his voice behind her.She spun around, clutching the photo to her chest as if she had been caught stealing.âJaxon, what are you doing here?âJaxon stood in the doorway of the study, broad shoulders filling the frame, eyes shadowed and unreadable.âI should be asking you
Zara didnât remember grabbing her phone, didnât remember pushing her chair back. She only remembered her legs trembling as she rushed out of her office. The guards outside straightened immediately, startled by her sudden appearance.âMaâam? Is everythingââ One of the guards askedShe didnât even an
âAdriana, get back here!â Aria shouted, rushing forward as her daughter tried to pull herself up on the table. Little Adriana was reaching for a fancy vase, her tiny fingers wobbling toward disaster. Aria caught her just in time and sighed in relief. âYou are very stubborn,â she muttered, holdin
