Chapter 31: Shadows from the Past Aria’s POV “I’ll be leaving. I don't know if I could make it tonight, but I’ll try. I have some important things to do this day,” Lucian uttered while fixing his long sleeves. He's already telling me where he is going, though it's not actually his responsibility to inform me about his whereabouts. “Can I just go shopping?” I asked him. He turned to look at me, forehead knotted. I know he doesn't like me going somewhere without him or without his bodyguards. “How many times do we have to talk about this, Aria? You can't go out. I’m leaving, and I can't watch you,” his voice rose a little while speaking. I sigh. I have important things to do outside. I just need to convince him right now. “Well, a friend of mine invited me for coffee. It's been a while since we saw each other,” I uttered. He placed both of his hands in his pockets while staring into my eyes. “Who is that friend?” he asked seriously. Should I tell him? I’m having second thoughts b

Chapter 33: Uninvited Games Aria’s POV “Mr. Montez!” I can't help but shout at him. I woke up to see him standing in front of me. I got confused because he’s holding something—something that’s mine. I smirked as he raised it, using his bare hands. “Mrs. Montez, you should be careful. I’m still a man. Showing off? I'll consider it you're teasing me,” he said, showing a sly smile. What the heck? Maybe I dropped it when I was rushing to fix my stuff last night. I avoided his gaze, feeling ashamed. This is the first time this has happened to me. That's the reason why I hate sharing rooms. “I must have dropped it. Just give it to me.” I got out of bed, trying to get my undies from his hand, but he teasingly raised it. He's definitely taller than me. I can't get it. “You dropped it? Does that mean you're not wearing anything the whole night?” he asked, eyes on me. I felt my face heat up. Fuck this man! Of course I am wearing undies! “Just give it, Mr. Montez,” I said seriously, sti

Chapter 35: Fever Dreams Aria’s POV The maid started to become alert when it came to me. I know it's Lucian’s order. They always check on me in our room when Lucian goes out to fix something. “Mrs. Montez, please open the door.” There's a knock on my room. I tried to get up to open the door even though I’m not actually feeling well. Staying in this mansion is making me unwell. I open the door with my other hand on my forehead. “Mrs. Montez, are you alright?” Anna asked me, placing her palm on my forehead. I shook my head. “Mr. Montez, you're burning.” She helped me go back to the bed, my world spinning, and I wanted to throw up, but I couldn't. “What should I do? Hold on, Mrs. Montez. I’ll get medicine.” She hurriedly went out of the door nervously. My eyes are starting to close. My head really hurts. Damn it. Then I just felt my eyes slowly closing. “Mrs. Montez? Mrs. Montez!” I heard Anna calling me out, but I could no longer open my eyes. “Aria.” I heard someone calling m

Chapter 37: The Party Clash Aria’s POV I only wore a red dress. It showed off some of my skin, but not too revealing. Lucian had been looking at my dress ever since we arrived at the party. I don't know what is actually wrong with him. He didn't leave me at the table. When someone was talking to him, he only nodded and smiled, his arm wrapped around my waist. Luckily, I hid the mark he left on my neck earlier. “Mr. Montez, I wasn't expecting you here,” a sophisticated woman greeted him. I stared at her. She’s beautiful. She sat at our table without any invitation from us. Her eyes were only on Lucian. Can't she see me? She didn't even dare to greet me. “How are you? It's been months,” the girl said, bending a little bit, showing her cleavage. It’s clear that she's flirting with him. “I’ll leave and give you both privacy,” I whispered to Lucian, but instead of letting me go, he just pulled me closer. “Oh, sorry. Hi, I’m Alicia. Lucian and I met months ago.” She extended her ha

Chapter 39: Secret Plan Aria’s POV After that day, Lucian and I didn't speak. He also sent me home while he went out at night. He didn't go home. I waited for him, but he didn't come home. “Anna, have you seen Lucian?” I asked the maid. She looked at me confused. “Mr. Montez is actually having a two-day trip for a meeting. That's why he left yesterday, Mrs. Montez,” she told me. Why didn't he tell me about it? Does that mean I will stay here alone for two days? I couldn't help but smile. If I can't get out, then she’ll come here. “I’ll be having a visitor. It's a friend of mine, don't worry,” I told Anna. She seemed unsure but nodded her head. I ran through our room and grabbed my phone. I texted Carla to come over. I immediately took a shower; after that, I wore only shorts and a shirt. When I was done preparing, I received a message from her that she was on her way. “Anna, can you cook something?” I told her. She smiled, but before she left, she acted like she wanted to tel
