Aria's P.o.vThe ongoing slow dance that went on between Vaughn and I paused after the question. He looked at me in the eyes. I was very uncomfortable having to look at him back so I took my gaze off him and back to the ground. I didn't know what he would do to me next and it would be so embarrassing to me if he walked away from me in the midst of the crowd. I was hoping he wouldn't.Vaughn closed the gap between us by moving two steps closer to me. He placed his hands back on my waist and continued the dance. “Truly, you speak too much but I get it. It must be tough dealing with myself and uncovering who I am. I don't like to be attached to anyone and I hated letting you in when I was down about Charlotte, which was why I had to be away from you then. I always see you. You're pretty and sexy. I see you.”I was amazed by the words Vaughn said, it was as though I was dreaming. Never in my life would I have thought that Vaughn would speak to me like I was somebody again. I missed that

Aria's P.o.vLiam was not pleased with how Mrs Slade yelled at him. I wasn't sure the both of them had a good relationship between themselves. Mrs Slade always complained about whatever he did.“Grandma!” Liam said intentionally to Mrs Slade to piss her off. “Can't I speak to a friend of mine who was forced to become your son's wife anymore?”Liam was rude to Mrs Slade and she didn't take it well with him either. I for one wasn't interested in anything that was going on between them so I stood up and walked my way out of them.“Aria Darling, where are you going to?” Mrs Slade turned to me. I had hoped that she wouldn't see me as I walked off because I just wanted to be away from them and all the drama that their family caused me. I was more bothered about Vaughn not being home by that time. I didn't think thought whatever fight was going on between them or cared about who was right or wrong.“I just want to lie in bed. My head aches. I think it must be the noise from last night.” I he

Aria's P.o.vI heard whispers as I looked over the stairs to see who it was. I wondered why of all places Liam and Rachel could choose to be promiscuous, they chose under the stairs.I walked down the stairs gently because I didn't want them to know that someone was approaching them so I could see whatever it was that they were doing.“I don't want Aria finding out about any of this. I need you both to be as discreet as possible. Can you do that for me?” I had not seen them but I had gotten down and I was very close to where they stood. I knew without a doubt that the person's voice I had heard was Vaughn's. My heart shook because I heard Rachel's voice also as she whispered. Several thoughts ran through my mind and I wondered if Rachel had finally gotten a way to break into Vaughn's and I’s relationship. I couldn't believe she could go as far as hurt me even in my matrimonial home. That felt too much for me to bear. I stood for a while like a raging lion. My hands shivered and I he

Aria's P.o.v.I opened one of the cupboards and took out the file from a bag that was hidden at the edge, inside the cupboard. Sandra had told me the specific place she kept it in for me.I took out the file from the bag and began to flip through the pages of the file. I could see several pictures of Vaughn and Rachel, but more than just seeing Vaughn and Rachel, I noticed that Liam was also in almost all the pictures. It was then and there that I knew that Liam was not just an outsider who maybe stumbled on something that was as going on between Vaughn and Rachel as I had thought but the three of them were working together on something.I couldn't believe that I had truly behaved irrationally because I knew I had heard Liam's voice but I didn't know why I just felt something was going on with Vaughn and Rachel alone. I didn't even think about what Liam had said that night when I saw them, my mind was just fixed on the hate I had for Rachel and my insecurities with Vaughn.I knew I ha

Aria’s P.o.v“Liam! Leave me the fuck alone!” I was tired of the fact that he wouldn’t just grow up and think of how he would be a good man. Maybe he thought I was as dumb as he was and I would believe his lies. “I do not love you anymore and this is not a place to throw your words around like you’re unmannered. If Vaughn finds out about this, forget it, you’re gone”Liam scoffed. “Look Vaughn is not the one you’re supposed to marry and he isn’t interested in you as well. Can’t you see it in the way he treats you? This wedding is just for a short period and when that period is over, he will leave you with nothing.”The reality that what Liam said might be true hit me because I had not read the terms and conditions on which I got married to Vaughn. My mum and dad did and they summarized it to me. They told me I had nothing to worry about but what if it was true that I had limited time to spend with Vaughn? I paced around in the room and began to think about what Liam had said and I kn
