Craving my ex-husband’s twin brother のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

Aria's POVI was pacing the room like a caged animal, my fingers trembling as I stared down at the stolen phone in my hand. My heart was beating so loud I thought it might give me away. I’d been dialing Kian’s number over and over again for the past minute, but the network kept failing me. The call would start and then drop before it even rang. Every second felt like a noose tightening around my throat.“Come on, come on…” I whispered, glancing anxiously at the door. If anyone caught me with this phone, I didn’t even want to imagine what they’d do.I tried his number again, praying. Hoping. And then finally it connected.I froze.“Hello?” I whispered, my voice cracking. “Kian… it’s Aria.”There was a long pause on the other end.“Aria?” His voice was thick, disbelieving and breaking.“Yes… yes, it’s me,” I cried, my hand clamped over my mouth to stifle the sobs. “It’s me.”“Oh my God…” he sounded breathless. “Where are you? Where have you been?”“I… I was kidnapped,” I managed, wipin

Ryan’s POVI stared at my phone for a long moment before the reality finally sank in.Approved.After days of delays, excuses, and endless back-and-forth, the visas had finally gone through. Mine and Aria’s. Canada was no longer a plan hanging in the air. It was real, solid and within reach now.I let out a slow breath, a smile tugging at my lips.Finally,I wasn’t about to waste a single second. I’d already lost enough time. I immediately dialed my guards, my voice sharp and commanding as soon as they picked up.“Get Aria ready. We move by 11 a.m. No mistakes.”They all responded in unison, obedience etched into every word. Good. I needed everything clean, fast, and controlled. Once Aria was out of this country, she'll be away from Kian. He could search the entire city if he wanted—he’d never find her again.I handled the rest quickly—documents, cash, burner phones. Everything had already been prepared. This was just the final step.Then I headed to the house where I'd kept her hidd

Aria's POVAnd then, suddenly, Kian's lips were on mine, his kiss a jolt of electricity that snapped me out of my despair. For a moment, I stiffened, shocked by the sudden contact. But then, as if possessed by some primal instinct, I felt my body leaning into him, my hand reaching up to tangle in his hair as I returned the kiss with a fervor that surprised even me.“...Mmmh...”His lips were soft yet demanding against mine, his kiss a blend of tenderness and barely restrained passion. His arms wrapped around me, pulling me tight against his chest as he deepened the kiss. I could feel the heat of his body through his clothes, the strength of his muscles as he held me close. And in that moment, all the fear and pain and uncertainty of the past few days melted away, replaced by an overwhelming sense of rightness, of completeness.I had missed Kian so much, had feared that I would never see him again. And now, to be here in his arms, to feel his lips on mine, his hands caressing my skin -

Aria's POVI woke up with a long yawn, stretching my arms above my head as the morning light filtered softly into the room. My body still felt heavy, warm like sleep hadn’t completely let go of me yet. Slowly, I opened my eyes and instinctively turned my head to the side.Kian wasn’t there.My brows furrowed immediately as I pushed myself up slightly on the bed, scanning the room again just to be sure I wasn’t imagining things. The space beside me was empty. For a brief second, a strange uneasiness settled in my chest.Did he leave already?Then my eyes caught something on the bedside table.A cup of coffee.Still steaming slightly.And beneath it… a folded white paper.Curiosity replaced the unease as I reached out, my fingers wrapping around the paper before unfolding it carefully. The moment I saw his handwriting, my heart skipped.“Aria,I’m sorry for leaving without waking you up.You looked so peaceful, I didn’t have the heart to disturb you.I had an urgent meeting I couldn’t a

Aria's POVThe hotel room was quiet when Kian carried me inside, the door clicking shut behind us. For a moment, neither of us spoke. It wasn’t an awkward silence, it was just heavy with everything that had changed between us in one night.He set me down slowly, like he was afraid I might disappear if he moved too fast. When I looked up at him, I noticed the way he was staring at me. Not like before. Not guarded. Not conflicted. But like I was something precious to him, not fragile, just deeply valued.My heart fluttered.“You okay?” he asked softly, brushing his thumb along my cheek.I nodded, letting out a small nervous laugh. “I feel like my heart is beating too loud.”He smiled at that, a quiet, genuine smile, and leaned his forehead against mine. “Mine too.”“You know, I never knew things would go this far between us,” he said softly.I stared into his eyes, listening.“At first, it was just a contract,” he continued. “You were just my brother’s ex-wife. Someone I shouldn’t touch
