Damian’s eyes flutter open just past midnight, and the first thing he says, voice rough and disoriented, is her name.
“Luna.”
His eyes do not leave the ceiling for some seconds, no full consciousness yet. He calls her name the second time before he finally turns his eyes around to see me seated beside him.
“Aria. What happened?” He tries to lift his hand, then h

ARIAThe next morning, the doctor meets us in a small consultation room, her appearance neat and meek, manners calm and controlled.“Miss Hargrove is stable for now,” she says. “She’s experiencing significant psychological distress, which is affecting her mental health, thus the suicidal instincts.”“Is that all?” Damian asks, as if there is something else he knows that the doctor hasn’t mentioned.The doctor glances at her chart. “There’s evidence of substance abuse too, which appears to have been a longstanding coping mechanism rather than a new development.”Damian nods, rubbing a palm over his face. “That’s right.”“Will she be okay?” I ask, surprising myself with how much I mean it.“With proper care and time, I believe
You Left Me At The Altar, Now You Beg Me CHAPTER 65: The Bullet Waiting For Us Inside
ARIALuna cried the moment I mentioned Damian’s name over dinner, insisting she needed to see him tonight, right now, not tomorrow.I gave in easily, because after everything, after the truth, she deserves the happiness of knowing a father, disturbing him and clutching him as we adults do to the steering wheel.“We’ll surprise him with a visit,” I tell her, “he might just be very busy with work, you know.”“Noooo, mummy! I want us to go now.” She frowns.“Luna.” I drop the spoon on the table. “It is late, and we don’t know if he is back home. Can’t you understand? We go tomorrow morning.”She starts crying. “But we have a security guard. He will make us arrive home safely.”I watch her, many thoughts running through my mind. I know it’s not too late to visit Damian with her if I want. It is just five minutes past seven.“Let’s go tomorrow,” I say again.“Mummy, please!”I sigh deeply. “Okay. You dress up then.”She jumps from the table, takes two steps forward and backward, claps in t

DAMIANTime is 9:30 am, Tuesday morning. The board meeting.The room feels different the moment I walk in; it is less charged and toxic, the hostility from three weeks ago noticeably absent from the faces around the table.“Let’s begin,” the chairman says, with absolute calmness, the tension in his voice that overwhelmed the board in the last meeting gone.“Before we proceed to the formal vote,” he continues, “I think it is worth considering that circumstances have shifted considerably since our last meeting. The media attack on the CEO, Damian, has been managed and toned down to a great extent. We as a board have also had to sit and consider a lot of things, knowing that sometimes we need to make sacrifices for the good of all.”Murmurs of agreement move around the table. I glance towards Jules, and he offers a small, approving nod
You Left Me At The Altar, Now You Beg Me CHAPTER 63: I Tell Luna The Truth About Damian
ARIAI drive home with Victoria’s confession still ringing in my ears, the recording sitting secure in my phone, and somewhere on the quiet stretch of road between the bookstore and my apartment, a decision settles fully into place.Luna has been begging to know her father for as long as I can remember, yet her father is right under her nose.I am done being a selfish mother. Done carrying the hurt of six years in my heart and letting it interfere with a kid’s life and happiness. She doesn’t deserve to be bullied by the likes of Tommy, her classmate.And after everything I have heard, I understand I can’t fight the monsters alone.I’ve spent six years believing independence meant doing everything alone, and I now understand, driving through the dark with my hands finally steady on the wheel, that real strength comes by choosing not to c
You Left Me At The Altar, Now You Beg Me CHAPTER 62: Victoria Murdered Someone
ARIAThe service entrance is exactly where Victoria said it would be — an unmarked door around the back of the bookstore, half hidden behind an overgrown hedge, paint peeling at the edges.I slip inside to wait for her, my heartbeat increasing with each second that passes. I press record on my phone, sliding it into my coat pocket with the microphone angled toward the empty shelves where we’ll be standing.Whatever she is about to tell me, I want it documented. Every bit of it must count.For the first time, I appreciate Damian for insisting on security for me. Because I am able to stand here without flinching, because I know some people are around in the thick air, watching over me.How sweet!But for that, I would be jumping at the sound of every crack from old wood.Victoria arrives moments later, thinne
You Left Me At The Altar, Now You Beg Me CHAPTER 61: I Agree To Meet Victoria
ARIAThe last 24 hours have been nothing but hectic. I try so much to forget about Victoria. To forget that I met her.I don’t want to think about her words. Don’t want to reason through all she said. I go about my business as if nothing happened.I am folding Luna’s laundry, vibing to the music playing from the home theatre when my phone screen flickers. A text from an unfamiliar number that is not Eli this time.“I can prove why Damian abandoned you.”I stare at the screen, my chest tightening around the words that shouldn’t still have this much power over me, not after everything Damian and I have finally said to each other.When I think I have healed properly, something comes in to remind me I have only just managed to live with the wound. Just what this message on my phone is doing right no
