Chapter 91 What's her real game?

Aria's POV"Holy shit!" I gasped as Claire's body hit the water with a massive splash.She actually did it. She actually threw herself into the damn pool!I glanced around frantically, confirming what I already knew—we were completely alone out here. Everyone was still inside enjoying their champagne and gossip while I was stuck in this absurd situation.In the pool, Claire's flailing was becoming weaker by the second, her splashing growing fainter as she struggled.Fuck. I'd been played.This woman was absolutely shameless! She'd manipulated me perfectly, knowing exactly which buttons to push. I couldn't believe I'd fallen into her trap, but what choice did I have now?I couldn't just watch someone drown right in front of me, even if she orchestrated this whole ridiculous scenario.Without wasting another second, I sprinted to the edge of the pool, kicking off my Louboutins and yanking the diamond necklace from around my neck. I hastily shoved the jewelry under my shoes—I wasn't abou

Chapter 92 I just can't wear only a dress, can I?

Aria's POVAs soon as Claire vanished from view, two men appeared from the crowd, moving fast—one of them missing a shoe.They stopped abruptly, staring between Claire's retreating figure and me standing there soaked to the bone.They were the Linden brothers—the hosts. They looked completely bewildered, like they sprinted all the way here expecting World War III only to find everything suspiciously calm.The older Linden brother—Louis Linden recovered quickly.With the practiced ease of someone used to handling rich people's drama, he gestured to his younger brother to escort the remaining onlookers back to the ballroom. Then he turned to me with a polite smile."Mrs. Carter, let me show you to a room where you can change out of those wet clothes."Before I could respond, I felt Aiden's arm slip around my shoulders, securing the towel more firmly around me. Then without warning, he bent down and scooped me up into his arms."This way, Mr. and Mrs. Carter," Louis said, leading us thro

Chapter 93 Are you trying to seduce me?

Aria's POVHearing my words, Aiden's gaze intensified as he studied my face for a moment. "I see. Wait here, I'll have something sent up."The moment he said this, my face instantly flushed crimson. I nodded weakly. "Oh... thank you."Is there anyone more embarrassed than me right now? I seriously doubted it.I numbly closed the door, leaning against it with a sigh. Everything that had happened tonight felt like some bizarre dream. Not a single thing had gone according to plan.Ten minutes later, I opened the bathroom door again. The replacement dress was a stunning black number with a hemline that stopped just above my knees. The underwear problem had been discreetly solved—thank God.With limited time, I'd only managed to half-dry my hair. My makeup, though not completely ruined, had definitely seen better days.Aiden rose from the sofa as I emerged. "Let's go," he said simply."What? We're just leaving?" I asked, surprised. Wouldn't that be incredibly rude?"Yes."Clearly, with Aid

Chapter 94 Dry my hair for me

Author's POVThe night's events felt like an impossible dream to Aria, but she wasn't the only one struggling to make sense of what had happened.Eleanor Smith was completely baffled. Claire Bennett was supposed to marry Aiden eventually - it had been the plan for years. Tonight had presented the perfect opportunity to undermine Aria, yet Claire had actually defended her instead. After pondering this for over thirty minutes, Eleanor still couldn't understand Claire's reasoning.When she finally heard that Claire had changed into a fresh gown and emerged from her room, Eleanor immediately excused herself from the group of socialites she'd been chatting with and clicked across the marble floor in her heels to find Claire."Claire, are you alright?" Eleanor asked, her brow furrowed with confusion.Madison, who had been speaking with Claire, politely acknowledged Eleanor with a quick "Mrs. Smith" before stepping aside.Eleanor barely spared Madison a glance before turning her full attenti

Chapter 95 A night brimming with passion

Aria's POV"It suits you perfectly," Aiden said, his gaze intense as he continued holding out the necklace.I stared at him in disbelief. "But... this necklace, it can't possibly be meant for everyday wear?"$55 million hanging around my neck? I wouldn't dare walk around with that!"Didn't you wear it beautifully tonight?" he countered, his voice dropping an octave.I felt my cheeks warm. "Well yes, but tonight was a formal event. That's completely different. Besides—" I hesitated, swallowing hard, "it's far too valuable."Aiden's expression didn't change. "Jewelry's value is determined by the person wearing it. No matter how expensive, it's meant to be worn. You enhance its worth, not the other way around.""No, Aiden, this necklace is seriously too valuable for me to—"He simply released his hand, letting the necklace drop fully into mine. "You're my wife. What, you want people thinking I'm stingy—like I won't even get you a proper necklace?""..."The disparity between our worlds c

Chapter 96 I... must have been sleepwalking

Aria's POVI woke up at 6:50 AM with a full bladder, stumbling to the bathroom with my eyes barely open. After yesterday's exhaustion, I couldn't even manage to keep my eyes open properly.After relieving myself, I shuffled back to bed, still half-asleep. As I slid under the covers, my hand brushed against something firm and warm.Wait...There shouldn't be anything—or anyone—in my bed!My eyes flew open instantly, and I found myself staring directly into Aiden's dark, intense gaze.What the hell? Why was Aiden in my bed? What happened last night?My mind went completely blank as I took in his features just inches from mine, his familiar cedar scent enveloping me. The reality hit me like a freight train—I was in bed with Aiden Carter!How did this happen?!I scrambled to sit up, desperately putting distance between us while he rose with infuriating calm."Why are you in my bed?" I blurted out, clutching the sheets to my chest."Your bed?" His voice was laced with amusement.I froze, l

Chapter 97 Because they're not Aria Jones

Aria's POVI paused when I saw only Claire in the room.Huh? Where's Aiden's nosy aunt?I wondered if she'd gone to the bathroom after eating too much or something.Claire rose from the sofa, eyes fixed on Aiden. "Aiden, I wanted to—"She didn't even get to finish before Aiden coldly cut her off."We have nothing to discuss, Miss Bennett. I don't want my wife getting the wrong impression."His eyes flicked toward the door. The dismissal couldn't have been clearer.I kept my mouth shut, knowing my place in this bizarre scenario. Without Eleanor here, my role as plastic wife didn't require me to speak up.Surprisingly, Claire didn't seem bothered by Aiden's hostility. Instead, she smiled. "You misunderstand, Aiden."I watched that smile spread across her face, secretly impressed by her resilience.Damn, she had nerves of steel! If it were me, I'd already be halfway out the door by now.Claire paused dramatically before turning to me. "I actually came to see Mrs. Carter today."Me? What

Chapter 98 What Did I Do to Deserve This?

Aria's POV"Because they're not Aria Jones," he replied simply.Holy crap. Did he seriously just say that? The way he said those words felt dangerously close to a confession. My heart skipped several beats before I managed to compose myself."I don't actually like money that much," I said, trying to salvage whatever dignity I had left."I know," Aiden replied.His dark eyes found mine, a smile playing at the corners of his lips. "I don't particularly care for money either. But no one ever complains about having too much, do they?"I froze, staring into those midnight eyes dancing with amusement. My heartbeat accelerated with each passing second.God help me. I didn't want to talk about money with Aiden right now.I wanted to kiss him.How could any man look so dangerously tempting when he smiled? He was like a restricted area with warning signs plastered all around—and yet I couldn't help wanting to cross the line.When I didn't respond, Aiden raised an eyebrow. "What are you thinking

Chapter 99 What a shockingly stimulating sight !

Aiden's POVI'd just checked my phone when it exploded with notifications. The "New York Elite" group chat was blowing up.Ryan: What's going on, Aiden? Why is Claire Bennett publicly thanking your wife? @AidenEthan: I heard Claire might actually be interested in your wife... @AidenMichael: Your "Beyond Compare" looks pretty underwhelming compared to Claire's grand public gratitude display @AidenRyan: @Aiden Seriously, Claire's making such a spectacle just to say "thank you" - hard not to question her real intentions toward Aria!Ryan: @Aiden How does it feel to be in this situation, man?How does it feel?Heh.I tossed my phone aside and got up from the master bedroom. I walked to the guest room door and knocked.Aria seemed lost in thought when she opened the door. Her eyes widened slightly when she saw me standing there."Did you see Claire's thank-you statement?" I asked directly, my eyes not leaving hers.Aria's face flushed immediately, the tips of her ears turning pink. "I d

Chapter 100 The mix-up

Aria's POV"Is there something you needed?" Aiden pulled his bathrobe closed, covering those incredible abs, though the neckline still dipped dangerously low.I tried desperately to drag my eyes away, pretending I hadn't just been ogling my husband. "I just got a phone call from your uncle's secretary.""What did they say?"Aiden turned and walked deeper into his room. I hesitated for a moment before following him inside, feeling like I was crossing some invisible boundary."They said your uncle wants to meet me tomorrow at Half Moon Tea House at 12:30 PM.""Ignore him," Aiden said flatly.I nodded, relieved by his response. "I wasn't really planning to go anyway.""Good. Don't." His voice was cool and dismissive, ending the conversation there.The room fell into awkward silence. I shifted my weight from one foot to the other, feeling increasingly uncomfortable standing in his personal space."Aiden, I should probably get some rest now?"Instead of answering, he looked at me with thos
