Aria's POV

I fell asleep quickly, only to wake up a few hours later.

I rubbed my eyes, blinking as my vision cleared. When I looked up, I found myself staring into Aiden's familiar dark eyes. It took me a moment to process where I was.

"Finally awake?" he asked, his voice still husky from sleep.

I nodded, making a little sound of agreement in my throat. As I lowered my hand, my fingers brushed against the fabric of his shirt, and suddenly I realized my position. My arms and legs were sprawled across his body, and my head had been resting on his chest.

I quickly rolled away from him, the heat rising to my cheeks. "I usually don't sleep like that! I was just really exhausted!"

Aiden's lips curved into that infuriating smirk of his as he reached out and pulled me back against him. "Using me as your personal pillow and then running away, Mrs. Carter?"

The word "using" sent my mind straight to what we'd done earlier, making my skin tingle

    Aria's POVI'd just made it back to the bedroom and was sorting through my things in the bathroom when my phone rang. It was Lillian, which surprised me. She knew I hated these social events, so she rarely called after competitions ended.This was only the second time she'd reached out in all the years we'd known each other."Lillian?" I answered, confusion evident in my voice."Aria, are you still at the hotel?" Her tone was urgent, making my stomach tighten."Yeah, I'm still here. What's wrong?"She exhaled sharply into the phone. "Your name is trending on several social media platforms since yesterday. There's a swarm of reporters camped outside the hotel entrance waiting for you. If you're still inside, don't come out yet."My mouth fell open. This was completely unexpected. Even when I first gained recognition as a young pianist returning home, I'd never been ambushed by the media. Now, just because my identity had been revealed, reporters wer

  • Too Late, Mr. White! I'm Married To Your Rival Now   Chapter 241 Did I wake you?

    Aria's POVThe next morning, I could barely wake up.Last night with Aiden had completely drained me - in the best possible way. Sex with him just kept getting better and better.Through my foggy consciousness, I heard Aiden's deep voice somewhere in the room.He was on the phone, speaking in that authoritative tone he used for business calls. The sound finally pulled me from my delicious slumber, and I rubbed my eyes, squinting them open.Morning sunlight filtered through the gap in the curtains, casting a single beam across the room.Aiden stood right in that shaft of light, looking like some golden god while the rest of the room remained in comfortable shadow. I lay there watching him for several seconds, admiring how the light caught his muscular silhouette before I finally pushed myself up to sitting position.By the time I'd gathered my bearings, Aiden had ended his call. He turned, noticing me sitting up in bed, and walked over with purposef

  • Too Late, Mr. White! I'm Married To Your Rival Now   Chapter 240 My body instantly responded,

    Aria's POVAiden didn't finish his sentence, just gave a soft chuckle that tickled across my nerves like feathers brushing against my most sensitive spots.My body instantly responded, a familiar warmth spreading through me.I turned my head to look at him, curiosity making me blink. "What are you thinking about?""Wondering what it would look like when Mr. and Mrs. Carter kiss," he murmured, his voice dropping to that deep register that always made my thighs clench."..."I felt heat rush to my cheeks. "The internet just loves saying stuff like that. Don't take it seriously.""But what about when they say we're perfect for each other?"I stole a glance at him, biting my lower lip as I tried to sound casual. "Well, we are pretty damn perfect together, aren't we?"As soon as the words left my mouth, embarrassment washed over me. I couldn't help covering my face with my hand.Then I realized covering up only made it

  • Too Late, Mr. White! I'm Married To Your Rival Now   Chapter 239 What's happening?

    Aria's POVI'd barely had time to process how many people were fawning over our relationship online when I noticed Aiden emerge from the bathroom, his hair still damp from the shower."The bath should be ready in about five minutes," he announced, voice deep and smooth.I nodded, trying to act casual. "Thanks."My thoughts drifted to his social media post—the one that had sent the internet into a frenzy.I wanted to ask him about it, but couldn't quite find the courage. Instead, I chewed my lower lip and said, "I've been scrolling through social media. It's pretty wild out there tonight."Aiden gave me a knowing look, his blue eyes twinkling. "Is that so? What's happening?""You know, just stuff about today's competition," I deflected."Let me see," he said, reaching for his phone.My cheeks warmed. "I'm going to grab my clothes for the bath!" I announced, practically jumping to my feet.Aiden shot me an amu

  • Too Late, Mr. White! I'm Married To Your Rival Now   Chapter 238 Should we get in?

    Aria's POVI saw Lillian's random message and instinctively sent back a "?" before I could think about it.Just as I sent it, Aiden walked over and took my suitcase from my hand. "I'll get that," he said.I nodded, looking down at my hand where his had just touched mine. I couldn't help smiling as I subtly tightened my grip when our fingers intertwined.The elevator was pretty crowded at this hour."Should we get in?" I asked Aiden, eyeing the packed elevator where people were already making room for us.He nodded. "Let's go. It's busy right now - the next one will probably be just as crowded."I murmured an agreement and followed him in.With so many people inside, Aiden released my hand but wrapped his arm around my shoulders instead, pulling me against his chest and creating a barrier between me and everyone else.We stood so close that when I moved, my head brushed against his chin. My face grew warm as I watched the

  • Too Late, Mr. White! I'm Married To Your Rival Now   Chapter 237 What's got you so happy?

    Aria's POVI felt a rush of satisfaction after sending that text to Sophia. Looking at my phone with a smirk, I thought how criminal it would be not to share this moment of triumph with Lillian.Without hesitation, I took a screenshot and sent it to her."Lil, check out what I just sent to Sophia!" I typed, attaching the image.Lillian must have just gotten back to her hotel room when my message came through. I could practically hear her cackling through her reply."HAHAHAHA! Has she responded yet? This must be absolutely killing her! I bet Sophia's going to be depressed all day! HAHAHA!"She followed up immediately: "Aria, when did you get so clever? That comeback was perfect!"I grinned, typing back: "I was just scrolling through Twitter when I remembered her text. Figured I should reply – I'm a polite person after all, and ignoring messages is rude, right?"I was still basking in the knowledge that Sophia was probably
