Aria’s P.o.vI returned to the room after seeing Vaughn walk away from Mrs Slade. I didn't understand why he was offended by Liam's attitude towards me. I did not think I mattered much to him for him to behave that way.I sat uncomfortably in the room as I thought of several conversations that could be going on outside the door. The room was cold and uncomfortably calm. I didn't know why I was anxious about what was going to happen next because I did not seem to see things coming until they happened.“Should I have stopped Vaughn when I saw what happened?” I began to question myself because I did not know what Vivian and Mrs Slade must have thought about me while they were trying to handle the situation and I just stood by my door. I knew I shouldn't have shown my face or interrupted them. “I need to speak with Vaughn.” I wore my fluffy slippers and walked out of my room. Everywhere was quieter than usual, since the Slade's came visiting. The maids that moved around were very few. I

Aria's P.o.vVaughn got close to the door. He had held the knob of the door when he turned to me. He used his other hand to rub his hair and slowly brought his hand down his face, to his chin. “I know the reasons why I need him to stay away from you. Liam is not someone I trust and you shouldn't trust him too.”“At least, he's better off to me than you are. He doesn't leave me in the dark and he hasn't given me reasons recently that could make me not trust him.” I murmured to myself and folded myself more with the bedsheet before turning to the other end of the room so I wouldn't have to look at Vaughn's face.“Aria. I'm doing ask of this because of you. I have no other reason.” Vaughn added calmly. I knew there must be more to why he was acting like that. I wondered if there was something Vaughn didn't want me to know that Liam does and if it was something personal to him. “Okay…” I sunk my head properly into the soft pillow that was on the bed in the room. I lay on the bed and sev

Aria's P.o.v“You don't understand the severity of the things going on and I don't need you to though.“ Vaughn gazed at me as though he wanted to tell me what it was that was ongoing but something held him back from doing so.“How do I know the severity when I don't know whatever is going on? I just feel like no one cares about my opinion and my presence in this house.” I yelled in frustration. I didn't want to buy I hated how he seemed like he was doing me a favor by keeping me in the dark about all that was going on and someone like Rachel could be more aware of things than I am. I mean, of what value can Rachel be to Vaughn? I can't even tell my enemy to trust her and that wasn't just because of what she did. She has always been a nonchalant and selfish person from the onset.Vaughn yelled back at me, “I care! I do care about you and that's why I'm trying to keep you safe from all of these problems that are on the ground.”The fury in me dropped as I watched Vaughn finally express

Aria's P.o.vVaughn and I had argued back and forth concerning Liam and him laying Sandra off her duties. Nothing was going to pain me more than if he laid her off because she was a significant part of why I enjoyed being in the house.“You don't have to listen closely to me anyway. I don't expect my words to mean that much to you but if you stop Sandra from coming here, this house will not be peaceful in any way and I will begin to do things the way I feel fit. Hell! You act just like my parent.” I yelled and walked out of the room.I didn't know where I was headed but I knew I just needed some time away from Vaughn and all the drama. I saw Sandra down the stairs as I walked down and she smiled unknowing to her that Vaughn was having things planned against her all because of me. I felt like doing nothing about it made me a bad person as I looked at her cheerful face and the warm smile that she always wore. I wondered if she ever got sad because I do not recall ever seeing her in a sa

Aria's P.o.v“Your friend should come and visit you in your house. I'm sure this house is big enough for you and anybody you call a friend that hopes to see you.” Vaughn took his gaze off me and walked over to his table and began to work on his map.I was furious within and I wasn't going to allow that. “Vaughn!” I stumped my feet on the ground severally and yelled, “I'm not a child. I want to go out. I shouldn't be waiting for you to acknowledge if I should or if I shouldn't before I'm able to leave this house. It's not like I normally do so and you've found me behaving in a manner that you don't like. Just let me do whatever it is I want to do.” I was pissed off. I did not know what more to do concerning all the issues on the ground and Vaughn wasn't helping matters with how overprotective he was acting. Vaughn took a glance at me and looked back to his map, “You can go to wherever you wish to go since you're an adult. But one of my men, Scott, will accompany you because it's clear
