Aria’s POV “You know we don’t have to go if you don’t feel up to it, right?” Ronan asks from his position on the bed. He has been sitting there for over fifteen minutes watching me get ready for dinner with his family. And he has also been like that, like a broken record, he has repeated that same sentence at least three times in those fifteen minutes. I look at him through the floor-length mirror in our closet and take in the solemn expression on his face. I can’t help but think that something is going on with him. Something he is not telling me. I stop what I was doing and walk up to him. He watches my every move as I move closer and sit in his lap. He adjusts himself to make me more comfortable and wraps his arms around my thighs, drawing me closer to him while I put my arms around his neck. “What’s wrong baby?” I ask him gently. He shakes his head and nuzzles my chest, placing small kisses on the swell of my breast. “Nothing. Nothing.” He answers. I run my fingers over his

Chapter 140

Ronan’s POV I’m a mess. This whole thing, this entire situation is a mess. And I’m spiraling, going off the deep end because I don’t know how to handle it. I don’t know what to do. I want to tell her. I want to tell her the truth so badly. It’s hard to look at her and know that I am keeping such a huge secret from her. It’s downright painful watching smile at me so brightly, like I hung the moon, while knowing that I would soon be the reason the moon won’t be shining so brightly. If she ever finds out the truth, scratch that, when she finds out the truth, because she will. She will find out. I will tell her no matter what, even if it kills me. Even if it means I won’t see that smile directed at me anymore. But for now, for now, I will savor it. I will hold on to it for as long as I can. As long as she lets me. I just need to find the perfect time to tell her the truth. Now is not the time. Not with her birthday coming up and after everything she has just been through. I will te

Chapter 141

Aria’s POV I wake up and blindly reach for Ronan beside me, but the space is empty and cold, and I am tangled up in the pillows. His pillows. They smell like him. Still has the woodsy heady smell of Ronan in it. I groan and look up at the white ceilings, giving myself a minute to get my bearings and let my bleary eyes clear up. I reach for my phone in the bedside drawer and check the time. It’s barely seven am in the morning.Even if Ronan is going to work, he wouldn’t leave this early. I think. Nah, he doesn’t leave without smothering me with enough kisses to wake me up from my sleep. But then again, he has been really strange lately. He has been behaving weird lately and he always tries his best to keep it from me but I can tell. I can always tell. Sometimes, he just stares into space, not concentrating on anything in particular. Sometimes, he would be right beside me and not really there. One time, I found him drinking scotch a little too early in the morning. And every time

Chapter 142

Aria’s POV “What were the gifts? Tell me all about it.” Mimi asks excitedly. I roll my eyes at her but nothing can wipe away the big ass smile I have on my face. It has been plastered on my face all morning, and honestly, right now I don’t think I am capable of feeling anything other than excitement and happiness. I’m so happy. So fucking happy. Which is ironic since I forgot my own birthday in the first place but it couldn’t have turned out any better than this. “I haven’t seen them yet. Didn’t get a chance to open them.” I reply, looking through the rows of dresses in the store. “Makes me wonder what you were so busy with that you didn’t get a chance to look through your gifts,” Mia comments with a wiggle of her brows, giving me a knowing look. “Makes you wonder, doesn’t it,” I say with a sheepish smile and red face. I don’t mind being embarrassed right now. I could probably wear a huge banner that says ‘I just got fucked’ and I won’t be embarrassed. Again, I don’t think ther

Chapter 143

Aria’s POV “I think I am as ready as I can be,” I announce while looking at myself in the mirror. I look stunning like the birthday girl. Honestly, if I had even remembered my birthday and gotten the chance to prepare for it, I wouldn’t have done better than this. The dress we ended up going for is a butter-yellow tube dress. It is ankle-length, with a ruffled slit on the side that reveals the entirety of my right leg without being scandalous. The hairstylist styled my hair to perfection, all styled and held up with more pins than I ever expected, there are a few ringlets dropping and just giving it a messy but neat look. If that makes sense. My makeup, this is honestly one of the best makeup products I’ve ever had in my entire life. There is nothing minimalist about this makeup. She used every single product in the book and beat my face to perfection. The smoky eye and the blush? My favorite parts really. I look good, even I know that. “You are in fact very ready,” Mia says fr

Chapter 144

Aria's POV Daddy?I look down at the little girl with a head full of hair, still holding on to Ronan as if her life depended on it. Ronan is standing there, eyes wide, arms raised, looking at her like he just saw a ghost. I don't know if I heard it wrong. But I am pretty sure I heard her calling him 'Daddy.' Now that brings me to the question, is it daddy, as in her father? Or daddy, as in cosplaying? What in the world is even going on here? "Reina, behave yourself. Come here." Aurora finally speaks, grabbing the little girl by her arm and pulling her to her side. I finally get a chance to see the child's face and... "I feel sick," I mumble under my breath, staggering back. Ronan wraps his arms around me immediately, holding me up. I pull out of his arms and take two steps away from him. Then I look between him and the little girl who is staring up at him with so much adoration. No. No. It's just a coincidence. They don't even look that much alike. It's not like she has

Chapter 145

Ronan’s POV I have considered many things that could have happened to me in the past. I’m not a daydreamer, but I am a big planner. But this… this is definitely not the kind of thing you plan; it’s not the kind of situation you see coming at all. At all. A child. A secret child. An entire human being. My child. My default response to all of these is to not believe Aurora but I can’t exactly deny a fact that is staring at me right in the eyes, looking at me like I am the most fascinating person in the world. And with those damn eyes that make it look like I am staring at a reflection of myself. She looks just like me. So much like me, it is uncanny. I can’t seem to take my eyes off her. I don’t know if I am hoping she isn’t real and this is just…a daydream or if I am in awe of her. Actually, I’m in awe of her. If I could get a mirror right now, I’m pretty sure we are both wearing the same expression. “I just…” I vaguely register Aria mumbling beside me. “I need a minute.”It t

Chapter 146

Aria’s POV “Aurora texted,” Ronan says after pushing my glass of coffee towards me. I pause, hesitate a little before wrapping my hands around the hot cup, allowing it to warm my hands and just…so I don’t start fidgeting. I look at him and blink. Twice. “Oh yeah?” I ask, unsure of what to say. Things have been a little strained between us since yesterday. I don’t have much memory of what happened after our little drama on the street. I remember him asking us to go back to the restaurant but I couldn’t bring myself to do that so I went home first, without saying goodbye to anyone, I know it was shitty but I am also sure they understood. “Yeah.” He answers simply, not providing any other details. I didn’t even know they exchanged details. I should have known they would though. They have a child together. Am I supposed to ask what the text says? Or am I supposed to wait for him to provide that information? Fuck, I don’t know. I don’t know anything at this point. I turn the cup

Chapter 147

Ronan’s POVMy house has never felt so…unfamiliar before. This is the same space I have been living in for months, the same furniture, the same decor that Aria and I spent hours selecting—she did most of the work, I just let her think we were doing it together. Speaking of Aria. I guess one of the reasons this house feels so unfamiliar now is the way things were this morning— aside from the fact that I have a little girl walking around the house and looking at every single thing in the house. Things were strained this morning. And I can’t even blame her for it. I didn’t get my usual good-morning hugs and kisses. She didn’t whine and laugh about how bitter her coffee is, even though we both know that thing couldn’t be any sweeter. Hell, she didn’t even take a single sip of coffee. And maybe I am to blame for that. I mean, I did spring Reina coming over on her. I should have confirmed if she was okay with it before replying to Aurora’s text but she was sleeping so peacefully and I

Chapter 148

Aria’s POV I stumble into the house, a little tipsy. Okay, maybe I am a little over-tipsy. I am not drunk though. I didn’t drink enough to get drunk. Just enough to be tipsy, and the earth is actually spinning in circles, and I have my bodyguard help me walk down the stairs and into my car because Mia is on bedrest. Thankfully, they didn’t say a word as they drove me home and now, I still think the earth is spinning as I stumble my way into the living room. The sound of the television fills the room and the familiar voice of Moana singing ‘How far I’ll go’ fills the room. I enter the living room and the sight I find makes me pause. The lights are off but the night light is on, the source of light in here is mostly from the television. Ronan is lying on the couch fast asleep with his daughter on his chest, her long black hair spread out over his chest and face while the rest falls down the couch. There is one empty plate and another unfinished plate of pasta on the floor beside the
