The billionaire's secret vow Chapter 90: what matters most.
“Why didn’t you wait for me?”Aria met his eyes through the mirror as Damian’s arms slipped around her waist from behind. His lips brushed her shoulder, then her neck, slow and lingering. He leaned in closer, inhaling deeply, his breath warm against her skin.Her hair was still damp, falling over her shoulders in soft waves.“You smell like lilies,” he murmured, his voice low, almost teasing. “I like it.”Aria let out a soft laugh, tilting her head slightly to give him better access. “I didn’t know you wouldn’t stay that long in your study.”“Hmm,” he hummed, pressing a light kiss just below her ear. “I just made a few calls.”She turned in his arms, smiling up at him. “I figured.”His lips found hers, a slow, familiar kiss that carried the ease of something steady and lived in. He lingered there for a moment before pulling back, his hand brushing lightly along her cheek.“I’ll take a quick shower,” he said.Aria nodded and turned back to the mirror, picking up the hairdryer again.

“Talk to me,” Damian said as soon as they stepped out of the car and into the house.Aria barely had time to take in the quiet of the living room before his hand found her waist, pulling her gently toward him. His other hand came up to her face, brushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear.“The press,” she said, exhaling. “I hate being on the news.”“I know,” he replied, his voice calm but firm. “I’ve already started handling it.”She nodded, but her expression remained tense.“There’s something else,” he added.Aria looked up at him. “What?”“Mira.”Her body stiffened almost instantly.Damian noticed.“I don’t understand her,” he continued. “Her story doesn’t add up. Every time we try to ask about her past, she dodges it. It’s like she’s hiding something.”Aria pulled away slightly, her brows drawing together. “She just got back, Damian.”“That doesn’t explain the secrecy.”“She’s not used to us,” Aria said, her tone sharpening. “She’s been on her own. She doesn’t know anybody her
The billionaire's secret vow Chapter 88: Fractures beneath the surface
Aria’s office door shut behind them, cutting off the lingering tension from outside. She didn’t say anything as she walked to her desk and sank into her chair, her movements slower than usual. Zara took the seat opposite her, watching quietly as Aria picked up her phone and failed Damian. “Hey, baby,” Damian’s voice came through, warm and relaxed. “What’s up?” Aria closed her eyes for a brief second before speaking. “Have you seen the news?” There was a slight pause on the other end. “What news?” “Someone leaked Adrian’s condition,” she said, her voice tight. “The reporters are here, Damian. At the company. They’re asking questions about the surgery… about the transplant…” “Stay where you are,” he said. “Don’t leave the building.” Aria swallowed. “Damian—” “I’ll handle it,” he cut in. “I’ll find out who leaked it, and I’ll deal with the reporters. But right now, you don’t step outside. Do you understand me?” She leaned back slightly in her chair. “I can’t just—” “Aria,” he
The billionaire's secret vow Chapter 87: leaked
“How are you?” her mother asked.Zara swallowed. Her throat felt tight, like something was lodged there. “I’m okay,” she managed, her voice strained despite her effort to steady it. “How are you? And… how are you even calling me? I thought the rehab center didn’t allow patients to use phones.”There was a pause.“I got released.”Zara froze where she stood.“What?”“I got released,” her mother repeated.“How?” Zara’s voice rose before she could stop it. “When? Why?”“Just now.”Zara blinked, trying to process it. “Why were you released?”The moment the question left her mouth, she regretted it. It sounded wrong. Cold. Suspicious.But she couldn’t help it.Her mother had been in that center for so long that Zara had stopped counting the years. Stopped expecting anything to change.On the other end, her mother let out a sharp breath. “Why would you ask that?”Zara pressed her lips together.“I thought you’d be happy for me,” her mother continued, her tone edged with offense.“I am,” Zar
The billionaire's secret vow Chapter 86: radiance
Zara stepped into the company building with a smile she couldn’t hide even if she tried.“Good morning, ma’am,” the receptionist greeted, looking up from her desk.“Good morning,” Zara replied, still smiling as she walked past.The receptionist leaned forward slightly. “You look… really radiant today.”Zara paused, her smile widening. “Do I?”“Yes,” the woman nodded. “Like something really good happened.”Zara let out a soft laugh. “Something really good did happen.”“Well, whatever it is, I’m happy for you.”“Thank you,” Zara said warmly, then turned and headed toward the elevator.She pressed the button and waited, rocking slightly on her heels, still smiling to herself.The elevator doors slid open.She stepped in, then noticed someone already standing inside.“Aria—”The word left her mouth before she fully looked up.The woman turned slightly.Zara’s smile faltered for just a second.It wasn’t Aria.It was Mira.Zara recovered quickly, her smile slipping back into place. “Hey, Mi
The billionaire's secret vow Chapter 85: Marry me
Morning light filtered into Aria’s office.She sat behind her desk, going through a few files on her system, but her eyes kept drifting to the door. Mira was supposed to resume today, and for some reason, Aria felt a quiet anticipation sitting in her chest.The door opened without a knock.“Good morning, baby.”Aria looked up and smiled immediately. “Good morning, hon. How are you doing?”Zara walked in like she owned the place, dropping her bag on the chair before sitting down. “I’m so good today. Like… unusually good.”Aria raised a brow. “Unusually?”“Yes,” Zara said, leaning back. “I don’t know why, but I feel like something really good is going to happen today.”Aria chuckled softly. “I’m happy for you then.”Zara grinned. “You should be.”She crossed her legs and looked around. “So, when is Mira coming in?”“She should be here soon,” Aria replied.Zara nodded slowly. “You know there’s going to be a lot of comparison, right?”Aria sighed lightly. “I know.”“I mean, you both look
The billionaire's secret vow Chapter 59: Warmth Between friends
Zara arrived at Damian and Aria’s home. She smiled as she made her way up the marble staircase. When she reached the nursery, she paused at the doorway. Aria was sitting in the rocking chair, gently patting little Adrian against her shoulder. His tiny eyelids fluttered as he drifted into sleep. Ar

“I know you must be confused,” Selene said, her voice soft, laced with deliberate sweetness that only made her words sharper. “But Damian and I shared one more night together—about nine months ago.” Her hand trailed down to her swollen belly, her smile triumphant. “And as you can see, I’m already d

Zara burst into the hospital room, her hair slightly messy, her face flushed with worry. Jaxon was right behind her, his long strides eating the distance between them. The moment Zara saw Aria lying on the bed, pale but awake, she rushed to her side, dropping her bag on the floor. “Oh my God, Aria

“You don’t own me, Jaxon,” she began, her voice trembling despite her best effort to steady it. “Things have gotten too complicated with us moving in. I don’t want to get ahead of myself. The original rules of our arrangement are getting blurred. Maybe we need to see other people so we don’t—”She
