Chapter 60

Aria's POV "You cameee!" Mia screams as soon as she sees me. She runs right out of the bar and jumps into my arms. I had to listen to Mama and step out of the house. I had nowhere else to go. I was a little tempted to go to Ronan's hotel, but that would have been an act of foolishness on my part, so I just opted for the only place I knew I would be welcomed—Luna. I let out a startled laugh. "I missed you too, baby," I say while returning her hug. I missed her a lot. If she weren't so busy, we would have spent the entire week together throwing a pity party for me but she was so busy (which is largely my fault), I had to throw my party alone. "I'm so sorry I couldn't stay with you all week. There is just so much to do here, and there are so few staff members. I have started bartending, can you believe that?" She says after pulling back from the hug. "It's a good thing, right? You are not mad at me or anything?" I ask her. She cups my cheeks between her hands and squeezes them. "Yo

Chapter 61

Aria’s POV “Answer me, Ms. Winslow. Did you have fun?” He asks again. I should say no, that feels like the right thing to say right now but where is the fun in that? His hold on my hair is so tight that it hurts, but in a good way. My asscheeks still sting from where he had just spanked me. I didn’t know spanking could feel so good. I mean it stung but in a way that makes my pussy weep. “Yes.” I choke out. He spanks my ass again, hard and so suddenly, I didn’t get a chance to swallow my moan. “You liked that? Dancing like that in front of everyone? You liked it?” He asks while massaging my ass softly, soothing the sting. “Yes yes, I loved it,” I answer, low-key goading him into spanking me again. He tightens his hold on my hair and yanks it backward until my head rests on his chest. He continues rubbing my ass, alternating between a forceful grip and a soft one, rubbing and squeezing and moving closer and closer to the spot between my legs. My legs turn to mush, and my hands ar

Chapter 62

Aria's POV "What do you want Adrian?" I ask, the malice dripping from my eyes would be enough to make a normal person freeze and back off but not my psychotic brother, it feels like he feeds on it, feeds on my anger. "I have been trying to reach you for a while now, Juliette..." I smack the towel in my hand on the counter, drawing the attention of everyone around us. I shoot them a small smile. " Don't Juliette me, Adrian." We are currently in Luna. I started working here a little over a week ago. It took a lot of convincing to let Mia let me do this. I convinced her that I needed to get busy until I can figure out what to do next. I didn't tell her the real reason why I needed to keep my mind busy. I have replayed the scene from that night, I have his words imprinted on my heart, everything he said to me, every single word cuts deep in my heart. It's even more complicated because some part of me completely understands him, a part of me gets it, and can't even blame him for the th

Chapter 63

Ronan's POV Maybe I went a little too far. Perhaps I shouldn't have said the things I told her that night. Fuck it, I should never have set foot in that club in the first place. I shouldn't have listened to Matt, I should have left the moment I saw her going on the stage. I did leave. I mean, I tried to leave. I didn’t make it to the door though. I barely watched her dance for a few seconds and I just couldn't take it anymore so I left, or I at least tried to but I somehow ended up going to her dressing room and doing those things to her. I couldn't help myself. I needed to see her, to touch her, to feel her. Then I realized it would be easy, it would be very easy for me to forgive her, for me to fall back into her arms, into the webs she has woven so tightly and I just couldn't have that so I flipped. I switched up on her and said so many hurtful things to her. I saw the hurt in her eyes and the way her eyes filled up with unshed tears but I was far too gone to give a fuck or

Chapter 64

Aria's POV "Excuse me, am I interrupting something?" A voice snaps me out of my thoughts. "No, no. You are not interrupting anything." I answer and stand up as fast as I can and look up at the person who spoke. I try to school my expression and try not to show my emotions on my face. The first thought that runs through my mind is how good he looks. He is one hell of a man. He is gorgeous. Dressed in an expensive suit— I know it's probably expensive because I have been seeing a lot of expensive suits on Ronan, I can recognize one when I see it now. He appears well groomed, a neat low cut hair with waves, well defined hairlines and even in the dim light of the club, his skin looks evenly toned. Unlike Ronan's stiff and stoic demeanor, he is relaxed with a strong jawline and a smile that makes him look more approachable and charming.My cheeks stain when I realize that I have been staring at him the entire time without asking what he would like to drink. "I'm so sorry." I apologize

Chapter 65

Aria's POV "So what? You are going to be an actress now?" Mia asks, more like mocks. She has been at it since I told her about my interaction with the handsome stranger. "I cannot act for shit and you know that," I reply with a roll of my eyes, and I snatch the bowl of ice cream away from her lap. I dig my spoon into it and take a spoonful. I have been thinking about his offer all day, not that I have any plan to call him and take the offer, but I have just been curious and wondering if maybe it could work. "They could coach you or something. I can't lie you have the looks and everything..." Mia trails off. "Just not the talent but it is something you can work on." She adds. To be fair, my chances of getting another corporate job are very very slim because of the whole scandal surrounding my little stunt in my previous workplace. This is the most decent offer I have gotten from many different people since the news broke. "Who knows? He could be running some shady business. What
