Semua Bab Once More, My Love: I Am Reborn Pretty.: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Emily’s POVI wake up to the soft glow of the island's morning sunlight filtering through the white curtains. It casts a warm, golden hue that usually brings me some comfort. But today? It’s like a spotlight on my throbbing headache. “Ugh,” I groan, turning to the side and reaching for the water glass on the nightstand. The coolness feels strange against my dry lips.As I sip the water, memories from last night flood back—vivid and raw, filled with both excitement and confusion. Maira. I can see her smile, hear her laughter, and feel the warmth of her body next to mine. But then it hits me—she’s gone. I look around the room and I can't believe it.“Where is she?” I whisper to myself, my heart sinking. “How can she just run away after everything we shared?”Just then, I curse under my breath. “How dare she leave after what happened? It doesn’t matter if she was drunk! She shouldn’t have taken off out of nowhere!”I had wanted to stop her so badly when she woke up, but I couldn't. Ther

We got into the restaurant, placed our orders, and settled at a cozy table with a sweeping view of the sunset. The soft sounds of ocean waves and cheerful chatter fill the air. Aria wastes no time whipping out her phone and setting up the live video for her followers.“Alright, everyone! Welcome to a fabulous night on the island with me, Aria, and my amazing friends, Emily and Maira!” she announces, her enthusiasm radiating through the screen.“Hey, everyone!” I wave, planting a huge grin on my face.Maira rolls her eyes playfully, a slight smile tugging at her lips. “Yeah, we’re here too, I suppose. Just don’t expect too much excitement from me.”“You say that now!” Aria laughs, placing the phone down as she glances at the first dish arriving at our table. “Okay, first up is the tuna tartare! Look at how fresh and colorful this is!”“I’ve never had tartare before!” I say, peering closely as Aria gestures to the vibrant dish.“Let’s give it a try!” Aria picks up a fork and takes a bit

The night is electric as we stand in front of the club, lights flashing and music thumping from within. Aria's excitement is infectious, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. “I can't believe we’re finally here!” she exclaims, practically bouncing on her heels.“Buckle up, ladies! This is going to be a night to remember,” I say, matching her excitement.Maira adjusts her dress, a smile creeping across her face. “I’ve needed this more than anything. Just let loose, you know?”As we enter the club, the atmosphere engulfs us. The bass pulses through the air, and the vibrant crowd sways like waves on the shore. People recognize Aria immediately, their expressions shifting from surprise to delight. A couple approaches her.“Oh my god, Aria! Can we get a picture?” a girl squeals, her eyes wide with admiration.“Of course! Let’s do it,” Aria beams, leading them to the side while I catch Maira’s eye.“Look at that! She’s a total superstar now,” Maira says, her voice laced with a mixture of pr

Aria’s POVI can hardly believe my eyes when I spot Maira and Emily racing toward me across the beach. Their faces are pale, and there's urgency in their footsteps. Something's wrong."Aria!" Maira shouts, waving her arms as she gets closer.“Aria, we need to leave! Now!” Emily adds breathlessly.“Leave? What are you talking about?” I ask, completely thrown off. Sebastian looks confused beside me.But Maira doesn’t waste time. “We got a threat about you. Check your phone. We have to hurry!”“What do you mean? Who’s threatening me?” I feel my heart racing.“Just trust us! We only have thirty minutes before our flight!” Maira insists, her eyes wild with fear.I pull my phone from my pocket and quickly read the text Maira shows me. My stomach drops. That’s my dad’s number. “This can’t be real,” I murmur, terrified.“Aria, we need to go!” Emily urges, glancing nervously at Sebastian.“What about Sebastian?” I spin around, desperate for some tether to reality.“Sebastian, you can’t come,”

Aria’s POV“You went as far as threatening me and all for what? Susan? To balm this bruised relationship we have? How could you even think for a second that that was helping?” I scoff at his audacity and say nothing more. I walk out of the study and I'm not too surprised to see a smirking Susan at the door.“My, my. If it isn't the bitch and friends.” She says and it takes all I have in me not to push her out of the way but even heaven knows that will turn into a story.She gives me a once over and opens her mouth to probably say the stupidest things.“Well, well, look who it is,” she says, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Princess Aria, back from her little tantrum.”I roll my eyes, trying to brush past her. “Move aside, Susan.”“Oh, what? Afraid Daddy won’t love you anymore? You’re acting so stupid,” she whispers in my ear, a cruel smile on her face. It sends a wave of irritation through me.I pull away, glaring at her. “You have no idea what I’m going through.”Out loud, she raise
