《Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret 》全部章節：第 31 章 - 第 40 章

ARIA“I have no idea.” I informed Mara as I left my office and took the elevator to Caspian’s office.I already knew my fate was sealed. Caspian was very displeased. Outside Caspian’s office, I lifted my shoulders, then moved to open the door.Analide gazed at me with disapproval. She stepped in front of me. “I really thought you had more sense than this. Why would you let that foolish girl do this to you?” I frowned at her, biting my lips to hold back my words. What did she know about the relationship between Talia and I? “Please let me in.” I said calmly, ignoring her words.She sighed, shaking her head as she opened Caspian’s office door. “Now be a good girl and allow your arm to rest, okay?” I heard Caspian’s voice. “Yes, I will.” I heard Talia’s simpering voice. I stepped in and found Talia sitting on the couch beside Caspian who was tying a bandage on her arm. When she saw me, her eyes widened and she scooted closer to Caspian as though I was a monster she was scared of. I

ARIAMy father called me as I was driving home. I didn't want him to say anything to ruin my good mood so I refused to answer.I was excited to show off my new Murano Platinum Nissan car to the twins. I knew the twins would like it, and I decided to take them out to the park as a way to celebrate.The house was oddly quiet when I arrived. It was barely six and the kids should have been playing downstairs after their dinner, but I couldn't find anyone.I went upstairs but I had barely crossed the stairs when Nylah jumped out at me.“Tada!” She screamed, jumping when I gasped in shock. “Nylah, what are you doing?” I asked, trying to rein back my heart which had jumped into my throat. “Playing games. Miss Meredith said we could play hide and seek. Will you help me find Lark?” She asked.Meredith stepped out of the corner and Nylah screamed again, then ran down the hallway, searching for her brother.“How are they so energetic after such a long day at school too?” I asked Meredith. Sh

ARIA The next morning, I informed Meredith not to take the twins out unless she informed me first. Now that Rowan had seen me, I knew he would try to do something drastic to get my attention. I went to work and tried to avoid everyone. Talia, Caspian and even my secretary, Mara. But Analide came into my office that afternoon and sat in front of my desk. “Is there something wrong?” I finally asked when she didn't say a word. “How are you related to Miss Michael?” Analide questioned. Was she searching for gossip? “I'm not related to Talia in any way.” I answered bluntly. That woman was in my past and the only reason I was aware of her was because she kept behaving like a nuisance. “She hates you. Like really hates you. That type of hate is not normal. You must have wronged her in some way.” Analide insisted. “Why are you here, Analide?” “I am worried about her. I don't like you, but I hate her even more. She makes my work difficult. She doesn't know a thi

ARIA “Mara, you can leave.” I shoved my chair back sharply, my pulse spiking at the insolent look on my sister's face. When Mara stepped out, Talia stepped to the door and locked it. Her face gleamed as she stood before my desk, flanking Zara like her assistant. Zara sat in front of my desk, gazing at me with barely leased anger. “So not only were you foolish enough to return here, but you have the guts to threaten Talia in her place of work?” My fingers tightened as I watched my two archenemies. Zara had become even prettier and from the gleam in her eyes, even more vicious. I picked up the phone to call security, but Zara slapped my hand. “So now you want to call security on us?” “Zara, I've tried to stay away from you, please try to do the same.” I slammed the phone down carefully so I wouldn't be tempted to hurl it at her empty head. “Oh you think I don't know Rowan has been calling you?” She snapped, standing and placing her fingers around her waist. “I know yo

CASPIANI had no idea what game Xander was playing, but I didn't want Aria involved in it.“I…I don't understand, Mr. Finnick.” Aria stammered on the call. “Xander is not my date.” How did she manage to sound so befuddled and innocent at once? It didn't matter if she thought she was only accompanying Xander, I knew how my best friend thought, and I was certain he assumed this was a date.“Does Xander know that?” I paced from one edge of my office to the other, riled up as I darted a look at the name on the invite on my desk.“I'm sure he does.” Aria answered, her voice sounding less sleepy. I heard the sound of sheets wrinkling in the background and I was stabbed with guilt as I realized it was too early to be calling her on a weekend. And why did I even care? It was a mistake that I saw her name on the guest list. I had refused to attend the event when Grandma informed me, but now, I knew I had to be there.“I don't fucking care. Cancel. If you really want to go, I'll take you.”
