ログインAria’s POV.“She’s such a bitch!” Madam Knox said, eyes wide open.Moria sat at the edge of the table arranging her Mahjong as she spread bad words about Aria and her kids.“She dared to cheat on your son?” Another snapped.“Who doesn’t know how she slept her way through Andrea’s bed… a hoe will always be a hoe.”Moria’s mind flushed with happiness and satisfaction.She had gathered the socialite women together… Moria would do anything to make everyone hate Aria, she always had her cooked reasons.The women spat on Aria’s name, some muttered filthy words, while others swore to humiliate her wherever they saw her.“She has no respect for me… she even encourages those little bastards to talk back at me.”A gasp rippled through the room. “Mannerless little slut! You didn’t teach her the lesson of her life?”Moria’s face turned pale, she was trying to get attention and pity from everyone.“Whenever I try to teach her a lesson, that adulterer who always defended her would back her up… An
Aria’s POV.Blink blink blink… the door clicked open softly.Aria couldn’t believe her eyes yet, she never expected Ethan to do more than she imagined.Lights flickered the whole room, the air inside smelled fresh and new.Luca and Laura slipped inside, face brightened.“Wow… this is so cute,” Laura jumped onto the couch.The apartment was one of a kind, the type kings lived in.It was a floor to ceiling glass building with clean lines, warm lighting, fully furnished and security at every corner.Ethan hadn’t just arranged a home for Aria and her kids, he created a heaven on earth for them.“This is the smell of home,” Luca whispered to Laura.The air around Aria changed, unlike the Rossi’s mansion where she felt suffocated and uncomfortable…Her new apartment smelled like freedom, the smell of a new beginning.Ethan watched her smile as she moved around, feeling the warmth of the house.“You like it?” He asked, voice soft.Aria’s jaw literally dropped. Does she like it?Who wouldn’t
Ethan’s POV.“You let those rascals lay their filthy hands on my grandchildren and grand-daughter-in-law?” Julian’s voice came fiercely.Ethan froze in his seat, mouth open. Julian had always defended Aria and the kids but he never expected her to react the way she did this time…“Grandma… I had a little issue to take care of, I couldn’t make it there early. I trusted the securities to help her handle the occasion before I arrived, did expect they’d do something this horrible.”Julian reached for his ear and dragged it closer to her, bringing his head down.“You little brat!”“Ouch ouch, easy grandma…” Ethan tried to pull away.“Did you punish those who dared to hurt them?” Julian asked.“You don’t have to worry about them, grandma. You know my methods.”Julian slowly pulled away and settled down. She knew Ethan always meant his words, he never said something for fun or to convince anybody.Sometimes she had urged him to take it easy on people, sometimes she’d beg him to reduce the
Aria’s POV.Doctors and nurses already arrived at the doorway with a trolley bed beside them. Ethan had ordered them to wait at the door for their arrival.Marco rushed forward with Luca and Laura who were almost lifeless and placed them on the trolley bed.Ethan followed behind, carrying Aria in his arms.Blood pooled down her head, where Moria had smashed a glass on.Ethan didn’t bother about the blood that had already stained his shirt, all he focused on was Aria.“Stay with me, Aria…” Ethan whispered, running toward the emergency room.A cold chill left his spine, his blood boiling with anger and regret.The nurses gently carried Aria and placed her on the stretcher.Luca and Laura were already pushed in, the doctors were already working on them.Ethan ran beside the Trolley bed, murmuring words only he could understand.“Don’t you dare leave me, Aria. You have to get through this.”The emergency room door clicked together as the nurses stepped inside.The door shut in his face.
Ethan’s POV.“What if they’re really my kids?” Ethan murmured, flipping the blanket over his chest.“Should I tell grandma I also feel strange about the kids?”Ethan hadn’t been himself since the incident that happened in the office today.“They look so much like you…” his memory replayed the voices. He had forced himself to have dinner even when he didn’t want to, his mind would recall the scene as if he was still there.“Why was Aria sensitive about Laura? Is she also hiding something I don’t know about?”He’d shake his head… “Noway, I don’t even know what the taste of her lip’s like…”Ethan picked his phone and dialed for Marco.Marco’s number went through on the first ring.“Hello, boss, Are you okay?” Marco tried to show concern.“I want you to dig into Aria’s past… I don’t care how you do it… don’t let anyone notice.”Ethan ended the call before Marco could breathe another word.He placed his phone on the night stand and walked toward the window for fresh air.“What the heck am
Third person’s POV.“Good morning, Mrs. Aria,” a staff member greeted as Aria walked into the company with Luca and Laura beside her.“Good morning, Landon,” she returned the greetings.Morning sunlight sparkled on the glass of her window as she stepped inside her office.Unlike the Sony production where she worked, people here treated her with respect.They never questioned her authority, not even once and Ethan had made sure of that.Traffic horns hummed through her window from below the building.Luca and Laura settled on the coach as Aria arranged her table for the day.Aria had decided to take them along this time, she didn’t want the last incident to repeat itself, as she hadn’t gotten over it yet.The way her sister in law, who has always protected her, betrayed her.That pain never left her chest, not even for a moment.The way her vision blurred the moment Lucia denied her mother was the culprit of her water poisoning.Even if she had Teresa looking out for her, she still did
Aria’s POV.“Twinkle, twinkle, little star…” Laura’s hands vibrants while she tries to hold the mic.Luca stands beside her, slipping his warm hand into hers.All eyes were on them as people whispered.“Luca, where’s your mother? You were proud minutes ago.” Adrian, one of his classmates, teased.M
Ethan’s POV.Ethan stood at the doorway, his gaze steady, and unreadable.He hadn’t moved yet the entire room seem to fall silent under the weight of his presence.He had followed Aria and watched from a distance, not wanting to let her see.Aria had asked him to stay back, he didn’t, he couldn’t.
Aria’s POV.Aria walked into the mansion, tired. The words of her stepmother kept ringing in her ears like a gong.“Those little precious bastards of yours…”She clutched her bag tightly, heart banging. “She wouldn’t dare,” Aria whispered to herself, as she walked through the yard.The house was t
Third person’s POV.“God, damn it…” Lily muttered to herself as she badgered into the living room, sweating as if she had just ran a marathon.She hadn’t been herself since she left Ethan's sight.Gwen turned at the sound of the door, eyes twitching.“What the hell… Lily. Are you okay?”Lily didn’t
