Chapter One Hundred and One

Aria's POVHad Jason's voice ever been this low and terrifying? No. Had his eyes ever blazed while directed at me, the answer was still no.Fuck! I could feel the cold plaster of the wall pressing against my back. For three minutes, we stood that way, none of us speaking. When he tilted his head to the side, I took a very deep breath."I... I was panicking, babe," I stammered, fighting to keep my voice even, trying to summon some convincing tears. "Look at your parents. It was a lot, okay? I ran out, and I called Aiden."I forced myself to meet his eyes, making my own swim with what I hoped looked like distress, not guilt. "I called Aiden because I thought maybe he knew someone who could help. You know, some rich contact. He told me to meet him at the corner coffee shop to talk about it.""What the... Aiden is not in town, Aria. I know that. I spoke to him minutes ago," Jason countered instantly, his lips thinning. "Don't insult my intelligence." "Okay, fine!" I snapped, throwing up

Chapter One Hundred and Two

Aria's POVI held his gaze, my eyes welling up with real, panicked tears this time. I had to sell this and convince him. "I'm not, Jason. I swear on my life, I have no idea where that money came from. I wish I did, but I don't. I only asked Celeste to help, and she said no. Ask your dad. He said it was anonymous.""Ask him, Jason." I pleaded. "He said he doesn't know. Do you really think I could arrange a million-dollar anonymous transfer in fifteen minutes?"He released me abruptly, running a hand over his jaw. He looked from my tear-filled eyes back to his father. "It's not a coincidence, Aria," he said. "And I know for sure. Things like this don't happen. Not for my father.""Maybe it's not," I said quickly, seizing on the opening. "But whatever it is, it's done. Your mum gets to keep her heirlooms. Why are you fighting a good thing? Just take the win, Jason."After an agonising moment of him staring me down, he finally gave a short shake of his head. God! I could practically tas

Chapter One Hundred and Three

Aria's POVHe was still standing by the window, swirling the cloudy liquid in his glass. He'd taken a huge gulp, and I knew the potent herbal extract wouldn't take long to hit."You know," he murmured, his gaze still fixed on the lights. "I'm still trying to track where that money came from. It's like tracing a ghost. Three layers of shell companies in three different jurisdictions. Someone really wanted this to be untraceable."I shrugged. "What about the IRS?" I asked, pushing him further to keep talking. Because I'd rather listen to him, than let the guilt eat me up alive."Dad said the case is at the High Court. But he's pretty sure he'll win because of some lawyers he didn't hire. Strange right?"He walked over to the plush, king-sized bed and sat down. He took another long drink."It doesn't matter," he continued, settling back against the pillows, his tone becoming noticeably slower and softer. "It doesn't matter who did it. For the first time in weeks... I don't feel like ther

Chapter One Hundred and Four

Jason's POVAmong all the times I'd gotten drunk and woken up with a hangover, none had felt like this. None had felt like a full-scale assault behind my eyes. I groaned, squeezing my eyelids shut, trying to fight the overwhelming grogginess. My mouth did taste like cotton and bile, though.Slowly, I opened my eyes. Expansive room, unfamiliar furniture. I was definitely in The Savoy suite.Beside me, however, was a blonde I didn't recognise immediately. Not until she stirred and her face came into view. Holy shit!Celeste Lorenzo.She was fast asleep, wearing nothing but the hotel sheet pulled loosely across her body. My mind slammed against the reality. If she was here, naked and beside me, did that mean... we had sex? I was also naked, save for the same hotel sheets.Where did Aria go? And how did this bitch get in here?I was two seconds away from pushing her off the bed when the memory of taking the drink and then sinking into black oblivion hit me.Shaking my head, I didn't wa

Chapter One Hundred and Five

Aria's POVI opened my mouth to speak, but no sound came out. His face... was etched with such profound betrayal and disgust that it physically hurt to look at him. "Tell me, Aria," he repeated. "What did you sell me for? I know but I just want to hear it from your lips.""I... I didn't sell you, Jason," I finally choked out, in a thin and reedy voice. Tears that I definitely hadn't planned sprang to my eyes, but I knew they wouldn't help me now. He would see them as manipulative, just like the lie."Don't you dare insult me with another lie!" He roared, finally losing control. He slammed his hand against the wall beside the bed, making the wooden frame shudder. "You drugged me! You abandoned me! I woke up next to that... that bitch! Don't tell me you didn't sell me! Was it for the fifty million? Was it just one night?"I flinched back from the force of his anger. "Yes! It was just one night, nothing more! But I did it to save your family! I did it for you!""Save me?" he scoffed. "F

Chapter One Hundred and Six

Aria's POVThe calendar pages had flipped.A whole month. It was late November now, and the air at home carried the scent of Thanksgiving which was right around the corner.I looked horrible. I hadn't slept properly since that day. My hair was dull, I was perpetually pale, and the dark circles under my eyes were impossible to hide. The bandage was finally gone, but the emotional wound gaped wide open.Lily hadn't spoken to me since I lied about the 'girls' night.' She wouldn't even meet my eyes in the hallway. I saw her walking with other friends, and the isolation was crushing me. I deserved it, I knew.Aiden. That was the worst. But at least he was my unwilling shadow. I trailed him everywhere, but he barely acknowledged me. He'd grunt a one-word answer if I asked a question, and if I reached out, he'd subtly shift away.I think Jason asked him to choose between him and me. Because Aiden had finally stopped letting me close to him.And Jason. I saw him every day. In the hallways, at

Chapter One Hundred and Seven

Aria's POVI drove home from school in a daze, Celeste's words... I'm pregnant... a sickening mantra in my mind. The house was so cold when I entered. Although I doubted whether it had anything to do with the weather.I threw my backpack on a sofa and headed straight for the kitchen, not out of hunger, but out of habit. I needed to talk to someone, anyone, who wasn't currently judging me.I pulled out my phone and texted Lily hesitantly. It took a whole three minutes before I gathered up the courage to hit the send button.Hey. I know you're mad, but I really need a friend right now. Can we talk? Meet up? Just for an hour?I waited. It took less than five minutes for her to reply and for me to know that I'd made a stupid mistake by asking her. Her reply came, not as a text, but as a Snapchat.It was a photo. Lily, smiling widely, sandwiched between two girls I vaguely recognised from the cheer squad. The caption was a cheerful, careless jab. Out with the girls! 💅I stared at the scr

Chapter One Hundred and Eight

Jason's POVThe click of billiard balls was the soundtrack to what my life looked like these days. Just the Click, Thud and then the silence. It was late, close to eleven, and the air in the basement game room smelled like old wood, beer and then my dad's cologne.I chalked my stick slowly. The break-up had been a month ago, and here I was, back in my family house, the place I swore I'd never return to... and the irony was a knife twist. I had lost the one person I actually cared about to save this damn lifestyle.I felt like an empty shell, running on my unending anger and spite. I hadn't slept properly since the day I walked out on my lying girlfriend, and seeing her at school and at all my games didn't do much to help either.Each time I closed my eyes, I saw her face... Aria... pleading, followed by Celeste's smug face when I woke up in that suite.My dad leaned against the side of the table, holding a tumbler of amber liquid. He looked... different. Less the tyrannical CEO. Sin

Chapter One Hundred and Nine

Aria's POVMy brother tried all he could, but as soon as he finally crashed upstairs, exhausted from his travel and my emotional breakdown, I slipped out.I ended up at some dimly lit, pretentious bar downtown that I usually wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole. It was loud and dark and thankfully anonymous.I was three-quarters through a strong cocktail, a sticky, neon-blue concoction, and the room was starting to spin just enough. The way I wanted.'It doesn't matter. Girls stick together.' Elisa's words. I clutched the icy glass, a small, sad smile twisting my lips. I missed Lily. I missed Jason. I missed being... us.I decided to order another drink, wobbling slightly as I signalled the bartender. My outfit, which had felt like an act of rebellion when I put it on... a black, tight halter top and high-waisted, shiny leggings... now felt ridiculously exposed in the lighting. But I didn't care. I felt like I deserved to be seen. I turned back toward the bar too, waiting for my refil

Chapter One Hundred and Ten

Aria's POV 🔞🔞After what felt like an eternity, Jason pulled the car into a private, secluded drive leading up to a large, dark house perched high on a hill overlooking the lights of the distant town. He cut the engine. He stared out the windshield, his jaw clenched so tightly I could see his muscles twitch."Whose house is this?" I whispered, the sound unnaturally loud."It doesn't matter. Get out." He said, turning the key.He walked around the car without waiting, unlocking the heavy front door with a keycard. I followed him, my heart beating against my ribs.Inside, the house was modern and minimalist. Jason didn't bother with the main lights, flicking on only a small lamp in the massive living room. The room offered a spectacular, indifferent view of the sprawling town below.He stopped in the middle of the room, turning to face me. The distance between us, now measured in feet instead of miles."I'm going to fuck you, Aria," he growled, his eyes drooping and raking my frame.
