Aria's POVI couldn't believe Claire remembered that incident from five years ago. It felt like such a distant memory, almost entirely faded from my mind.That day, after the competition and award ceremony, I was supposed to make a quick exit. But the organizers had insisted we record performance videos. As the reigning champion, I went first, eager to be done. I was in a hurry to leave, truly—didn't want anyone to discover the true identity behind my masked persona.Nana wanted to film me doing a short segment, so I took a jet ski to the calmer, more secluded side of the shore. Just as I finished recording, shouts pierced the twilight air from the main beach. It was sunset already, and I couldn't see clearly from that distance. But following everyone's frantic gaze, I spotted someone standing precariously on a cluster of rocks, already being swallowed by the ocean.The tide was rising fast, a relentless force, and those rocks would soon be completely submerged. Without a second thoug

Aria's POVI suddenly felt a hot breath on my neck as Aiden leaned in close, his lips barely brushing my ear. "I care for Aria too," he murmured, his deep voice sending shivers down my spine. "More than anyone could possibly imagine."My ears were already tingling from Claire's open declaration, but Aiden's intimate confession made both my ears turn completely crimson. My face felt like it was on fire.I'd grown a thicker skin since our marriage began, but him saying something so bold in such a public setting still left me breathless. I shot him a sideways glance. "Are you trying to make me spontaneously combust in front of everyone?" I whispered.He chuckled softly, his eyes dancing with mischief. "Maybe. You're particularly beautiful when you blush."Across the room, Thomas Carter had already taken the stage, but my attention was completely scattered. How could I focus on anything when Aiden was standing so close, his breath warm against my neck, sending tingles across my skin? My m

Aria's POVAs I sat perched on top of the cemetery wall, something about this moment felt strangely familiar. The moonlight, the darkness, even the way Aiden stood below with his arms outstretched—it triggered something deep in my memory that I couldn't quite place."Having second thoughts?" Aiden called up, a hint of teasing in his voice.I snapped back to reality and positioned myself at the edge. Without overthinking it, I pushed off and let myself fall into his waiting arms. The sensation of falling was brief—his strong arms caught me effortlessly, securing me against his chest. The familiar scent of his cologne—sandalwood with subtle hints of cedar—enveloped me immediately.I found myself staring up at his face, studying the sharp angles illuminated by moonlight. A strange feeling of déjà vu washed over me."Aiden," I asked, my voice barely above a whisper, "have we met before? Before all this, I mean?"I watch

Aria's POVWe finally made it back to the mansion just before midnight. I'd been fighting to keep my eyes open during the drive home. Aiden noticed me yawning constantly and immediately suggested I take a shower when we arrived.My biological clock was killing me. I wiped away the tears that formed in the corners of my eyes from yawning so much, took the water glass from his hand, and headed toward our bedroom, sipping as I walked.After my shower, I felt a bit more awake. When Aiden walked into the bedroom, I instinctively looked up at him, wanting to ask if he was feeling any better after our cemetery visit. But when my eyes met his, I suddenly felt shy.Tonight had been quite the adventure—climbing over walls and nearly getting caught. Looking back, it was actually pretty funny. I never expected Aiden would do something like that with me.My original intention was to cheer him up, but thinking about it now, I couldn't tell who was cheering up whom.

Aria’s POVI stepped out of the hospital room, a question already forming on my lips, turning to Aiden with curiosity etched across my face. "What prompted your sudden visit?"Aiden looked at me, a subtle, charming smirk playing at the corners of his mouth. "If I didn't show up, I'd be failing as a proper son-in-law, wouldn't I?"I felt a warm flush creep up my cheeks. "Dad knows how incredibly busy you are.""Never too busy for this," he corrected softly, taking my hand in his. His fingers were warm, familiar, a comforting anchor against mine. "Besides, it's Saturday. I'm supposed to be off work anyway."I glanced up at him, suddenly remembering the lingering issue. "Did you manage to find out anything about who's been calling my dad? I checked his call history earlier, when I had his phone, but everything had been wiped clean."Aiden’s expression grew serious, his gaze dropping to meet mine. "Not yet. Whoever it is, they're clever—us
