“Jeffery. Prepare the jet and get clearance, we are flying to London in-” Deagan’s words were cut short by the rowdiness of his friends and family entering his house.“Mr Lockheart?” Jeffery called his attention wondering why he suddenly went silent.“I’ll call you back Jeff.” He dismissed quickly cutting off the man’s next question.“What are you guys doing here?” Deagan asked in confusion, he was surprised to see Zoey’s parents there as well.“Deagan, did you forget? Dad wanted to speak to you about the company so we said we’d make dinner out of it.” Zoey answered matter of factly, but Deagan wasn’t paying much attention.“

To say that Ayc was pissed at Deagan was an understatement, he was sure that Deagan loved Aria, so he felt betrayed on her behalf when he found out that Deagan had moved on already. Hazel had tried to get him to see reason, but the man was stubborn as a mule, once he got it in his mind that he was right, it was virtually impossible to change it.Deagan considered her words for a moment and decided that the woman wouldn’t be telling him anything that he wanted to know, at least willingly, so being the businessman he was; he used that to his advantage.“So let’s make a deal.” Hazel immediately turned wary; she knew that the odds were stacked heavily against her and that Deagan was a brilliant businessman, who knew how to use it in his favour.“What kind of deal.” She winced, knowing

“Wow!” Deagan’s eyes widened the moment he stepped into Aycin’s apartment.“Cool, right?” Deagan studied the huge floor-to-ceiling portrait, nodding distractedly.It was the last picture everyone took together at Aria’s birthday celebration the day he proposed… The day she left him. In the picture everyone was laughing at something, it looked so natural and carefree that he found himself loving the picture instantly.         “It was the first thing Aria put up in the house, some nights she would fall asleep just staring at this portrait from the couch.” Deagan’s heart clenched, remembering how he missed her in the e

“What do you think?” Aria was practically bouncing on her feet awaiting Deagan’s critique. She insisted that he tried Earl Gray tea, swearing that once he did, he would be hooked.“Okay who are you and what have you done with my Aria?” He asked, looking genuinely concerned. Aria’s heart sped up at his endearment ‘my Aria’.What do you mean?” She asked warily, her smile falling instantly.“I mean, you, the girl who couldn’t go without her iced coffee fix even in winter, is swearing that tea is the best thing to grace the earth.” He pointed out, feeling genuinely concerned.“I don’t know, Hazel forced me to taste it one day and I liked it sinc
