ARIA'S POV

The sky was still dark when I crept out of my room at six in the morning. Sleep had been impossible since we came back. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Xavier on that hospital bed, pale and weak, his fingers cold around mine.

I needed coffee. Strong coffee. And maybe ten minutes of silence before the world started demanding things from me again.

The kitchen lights were already on when I stepped out. I stopped in the doorway, blinking against the brightness.

  • Two Times Mrs Weston    The New Name

    XAVIER'S POVThe walk down the hallway felt shorter than usual. My mind was still reeling from the phone call with Ian, but I pushed those thoughts aside as my gaze scanned the surroundings. I needed to focus on Reed. He was the priority right now.I walked through the hospital corridors, nodding at the nurses I passed, until I reached his room. The door was slightly ajar. I pushed it open quietly and stepped inside.Reed was lying in bed, his eyes closed, his breathing slow and even. The machines around him beeped softly, monitoring his vitals. He looked peaceful… more peaceful than he had in weeks.I walked in quietly, pulling the chair closer to his bedside. I reached over and gently pulled the sheet up, tucking it around his shoulders.He stirred, his eyes fluttering open. He blinked a few times, disoriented, then his gaze focused on me."Xavier?" His voice was groggy, thick with sleep. "When did you get here?""Just now." I smiled softly. "How are you feeling?"He groaned, tryi

  • Two Times Mrs Weston    You're All The Same

    ARIA'S POVI stomped through the penthouse, my heels clicking against the marble floor, my blood boiling with every step. I heard him calling after me, but I didn't slow down. I couldn't. If I stopped, I might say something I'd regret. Or worse… I might start crying."Aria, wait!" His voice was closer now. "Please, just let me explain!"I finally stopped, spinning around so fast he nearly collided with me. "Explain?" I laughed bitterly. "What exactly do you want to explain, Xavier? That you were out there with another woman?"His eyes widened. "Aria, what the fuck are you talking about? I barely know that woman!""Oh, really?" I scoffed, crossing my arms. "Well, that explains why she had her hands all over you, grinning from ear to ear with that seductive little smile."He ran a hand through his hair in frustration. "She wasn't… it's not what you think. She was just handing me something I forgot in her office."My head snapped up. "Her office? Why were you in her office in the first p

  • Two Times Mrs Weston    A Wet Path Down My Skin

    XAVIER'S POVI was lying on the bed, my eyes half-closed, when I felt a hand slide up my chest from behind. Warm fingers traced lazy patterns across my skin, and then a body pressed against me, soft and warm."Aria." I groaned, catching her wrist before it could wander lower. "Baby, you need to sleep some more.""Xavier, I need you." Her voice was a whisper against my ear, her breath warm. She leaned forward, pressing a kiss to my shoulder, then my neck. Her lips trailed down my chest, her tongue flicking against my skin.I bit back a moan. "Aria, we can't. The doctor said you need to rest.”She sat up abruptly. "Xavier, it's been over a month since we've had sex. A month. And every time I try, you give me the same excuse." She crossed her arms. "Is something wrong?"I turned to face her, reaching for her hand. "It's nothing. I just…""Then what is it?" She pulled her hand back. "Why won't you touch me? Is it because..." Her voice cracked. "Do my scars disgust you?""Aria!" I sat up,

  • Two Times Mrs Weston    Drowning In Acohol

    DEAN'S POVI grabbed the bottle and tilted it back, letting the burn slide down my throat. The alcohol blurred my vision, and I staggered backward, catching myself against the edge of the desk.I groaned as I slid the black glove over my left hand, the leather hiding what was left. The fingers that Xavier had taken. The ones I would never get back.I cursed under my breath, yanking the glove into place.A maid appeared in the doorway, her eyes lowered. "Sir, your mother is here."I sighed, waving a hand. "Let her in."Allison stepped inside, her heels clicking against the floor. Her eyes swept across the room, taking in the bottles of alcohol littering the floor, the scattered clothes, the chaos I had let consume me."Is this how you want to live your life now?" Her voice was sharp, cutting through the silence. "Drowning yourself in alcohol while the world moves on without you?"I grabbed another bottle and sat down heavily, not bothering to look at her. "Why are you here?"She sat ac

    XAVIER'S POVThe second Jane opened the hospital door, Aria darted past her, running down the corridor before I could even react."Aria!" I called after her. "Wait!"But she was already gone, her footsteps echoing down the hallway. Jane ran after her, her shoes hitting hard against the polished floor.I jogged in after them, my heart pounding. Aria almost collided with a nurse carrying a tray, and I reached out, steadying her."I'm so sorry," I said quickly, guiding her forward. Then I caught up to her and grabbed her hand. "Aria, you can't just run like that. You're going to hurt yourself."She didn't answer. Her eyes were fixed ahead, her face pale with anticipation.We stepped into the elevator, and the doors slid shut. The car began to rise, and I tried to steady my breathing.A month. A whole month of coming to this hospital, of watching Reed lie motionless under those white sheets. A month of hoping, praying, wishing for any sign that he would wake up.And now, finally, it wa

  • Two Times Mrs Weston    Cooking And Dancing

    XAVIER'S POVOne month later.The boardroom hummed with the low murmur of conversation as I sat at the head of the table, flipping through the reports in front of me. The executives around me were deep in discussion, their voices overlapping as they debated the company's next move."The Asian expansion is progressing well," one of the directors said, gesturing at the screen behind me. "The Asian market alone has increased our annual revenue by thirty percent. We've secured partnerships in three new markets, and the initial projections are promising."I nodded. "And the sustainability initiative? Where are we on that?"A younger executive leaned forward. "We've identified several key areas for improvement. Energy efficiency, waste reduction, supply chain optimization. The initial investment would be significant, but the long-term ROI is substantial.""Let's focus on energy efficiency first," I said. "Roll it out in the main headquarters, then expand from there. I want a full report on
