All Chapters of Dear Ex, Time For Retribution: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Chapter 81“But before we close, we have one last contestant. Although this particular brand faced so many challenges, they said that giving up was not an option for them. So, let us welcome Spirit, the brand that started not long ago. Let us see if they will be able to impress our judges today.”Layla’s expression changed when she heard the host call out Spirit. She looked at her assistant with a confused gaze.Kate shrugged her shoulders. She was also unaware that Spirit had managed to participate.Had they found a model willing to work for them? Layla swore that whoever it was, she was going to get them blacklisted forever.The lights dimmed, and soft music started to play.Aria emerged onto the runway like a vision reborn, a living embodiment of serenity after a storm. Her ethereal beauty was something out of this world. Her gown, crafted from layers of opalescent silk and pure fabric, shifted colors subtly with the light, blending shades of whiteness, soft lavender, celestial gol

Chapter 83Damian carried Aria backstage. He held her gently as if he were holding a porcelain vase that could break at any time.When they reached the changing room, he chased everyone out before he helped Aria change into a comfortable gown.He looked at her legs, which had swollen, and his heart ached.He sat down on the floor and started to massage her legs. It was only after Aria felt the sensation in her legs return that she snapped out of her trance.She was shocked to see Damian sitting on the floor and massaging her legs gently.“Darling, what are you doing? Quickly get up before anyone sees you.”Damian did not stop. He continued to massage Aria’s legs and only let go after he felt that he had done enough.“How are you feeling now? Is your head still spinning? If I had known that you would endure too much, I would have found someone to model for you.”It was only then that Aria remembered that she had been on the runway not long ago.“What happened? How did I get here? And w

Chapter 85Pat looked at Layla as she gobbled down the alcohol, and his heart ached.“Layla, why are you doing this to yourself? You are very intelligent, but how could you miss all the signs? You knew from the start that Damian never loved you, so why did you give yourself false hopes?”“Pat, you don’t understand. We all grew up together, and Damian has never once shown interest in anyone. How dare he propose to that street woman? I assure you that I will never let him go.”“Layla, love is not something that you can force. Yes, we grew up together, but was there a day that Damian told you that he was going to marry you? Has he ever asked you to be his girlfriend? Or has he ever done anything that showed he had an interest in you?”“No, but…?”“Layla, Damian never did any of those because to him, you are nothing but a sister. He only sees you as his sister.”“What did you just say?”“I am telling you the truth. If Damian truly loved you, then he would not have fallen in love with some

Chapter 87A few days later, Damian organized a party with his close friends. It was finally time to introduce Aria to his inner circle.“I have never met any of your friends. Do you think that they will like me?” Aria asked as she tried on the dress. It was one of the Spirit designs, and it was yet to be launched in the market.Damian hugged her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder. He looked at her through the mirror, and his gaze was filled with love, “Of course, they are bound to like you. Whoever doesn’t like you has a problem with their head.”“Haha, darling, if your friends heard you talk about them like that, won’t they be heartbroken?”“You are very beautiful. I am so glad that we crossed paths. I would still be leading the same boring life if we hadn’t met.”Aria held his arms that were hugging her waist and giggled, “I am the lucky one. You really did a lot for me. You helped walk out of my painful past, and you were patient enough to help me heal. If it were som

Chapter 89On the way home, Aria sat in the car quietly. She did not say anything as she looked in front with a serious face.Damian knew that she was very angry, and he could not blame her. Maybe if he had been open with her from the very beginning, none of this would have happened.“Aria, aren’t you going to say anything?” Damian asked.Aria did not answer. She did not even look at him.Their ride was filled with stifling silence. Seeing that Damian was about to take a turn and drive to his mansion, Aria finally spoke up, “Take me to my apartment, please.”Damian was about to say something, but he did not know where to start. It would have been good if Aria had expressed her anger towards him. But if she kept quiet like that, he did not know what to do with her.When they reached the parking lot, Damian was about to accompany Aria to her house, but she stopped him, “You don’t have to bother. I can take care of myself.”“Aria, please listen to me. It is not really what you think.”Ar
