Aria’s POV.Early morning sunlight glinted through the curtains in gold, as faint sounds of the city drifted below.The noise of distant traffic hummed through the window.Aria quietly adjusted her legs, so she won’t wake the kids from their sleep.Her phone laid beside her, screen dark.Aria had tried to close her eyes. She thought that maybe if she slept, it wouldn’t hurt any more.But she was wrong. No matter how she forced herself to sleep, the more unsettled she was.Sleep didn’t come, she just waited for morning.She clutched her chest as the woman’s voice replayed in her head.It sounded so clear and sharp, not something that could be mistaken.“Honey. I’m cold. Come and cuddle.”Andrea never allowed her to call him those names.He avoids her like the plague, even her kids weren’t exempted.She stands and walks toward the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the kids.Aria filled the kettle and set it on the stove.She stretched her hands to get bread, plates, and cups.The spoon

Aria’s POV.Lights glowed faintly through the window as the street beneath hummed with noise.Aria already tucked the kids into bed.The television was barely making a sound, she didn’t pay attention to it as her mind was glued on her laptop.She tried not to take to heart what Andrea’s mother had said earlier.Moria had always been like that. It wasn’t a new thing to Aria.Andrea was still out, somewhere only God knows.Her phone vibrated.She reached for it. It was Gwen, her step-mother. The expression on her face went pale. Her calls had never been without a threat. “Little slut,” her voice cut in sharp and loud.Aria didn’t make a sound, she just stared at the phone.“What do I owe you this time, Mrs. Gwen?”“How dare you refer to me by my name?”Gwen had always hated Aria without a cause.Aria lost her mother because Gwen had claimed she was pregnant for Aria’s father.Her mother couldn’t bear being betrayed, she fell into depression and died.Ever since then, Aria had hated

Ethan’s POV.Ethan didn’t get his eyes off her throughout the signing process.Aria managed to steady herself, as heat flushed her cheeks.The contract sat in front of her untouched, she stared at his signature that was already signed on it.“Shall we?” Ethan said, handing the pen to her.Aria kept silent for a moment, and then her hand moved on the paper.She signed on them even as her hand felt heavy.“There,” her voice came low. “The contract is officially signed and will be processed whenever you’re ready.”Ethan nodded, as his assistant slipped the file into his hands.“You look pale, rough morning?” He asked, yes locked on her.She tried to avoid his gaze.“Work has been intense,” the lie slipped off her mouth without a second thought.The air in the room was thick, like she was sitting in a detention cell.She tried to keep calm, not to let him notice the pressure she felt inside of her.He sat observant and steady like he already knew what was going on inside her head.Aria’s h

Aria’s POV.“I want a divorce.” Andrea said, voice flat. The air between them became intense, Aria stood still.“What did you say?” The words slipped off her mouth before she could open them.“Don’t act deaf, Aria. You heard him.” Moria cut in as she strolled gracefully off the staircase.“Here, sign it.” Andrea threw the papers in front of her without remorse.Aria’s heart sank, tears almost stung her vision, making them blurry.Andrea wants a divorce? No way, that was unlike him.No matter how cold and indifferent he had always been to her, he never mentioned or thought about divorce.“Why? Did I do something wrong? You should give me a valid reason…”“He doesn’t need one,” Moria cut her off.Lily sat squealed beside Andrea, head on hue shoulder, arms slipped into his.Of course she was enjoying the drama she created.Manipulating Andrea.Her eyes were filled with hatred, and her smile? It was full of mockery.Aria had dropped by to make something for her kids who were still at the

Aria’s POV.Aria had left with Luca and Laura after the introduction to Ethan’s grandmother.The pressure on her heart eased, she was finally at peace.Ethan had walked them to the door before returning to his grandmother.“Thank you so much for your help, I don’t know what I would have done without you today.”Ethan waved her off, “You don’t have to be so polite, I wouldn’t just sit back and watch you frustrated.”Laura and Luca walked hand in hand, waving goodbye to old Julian as they stepped out of the ward.“Why were you all by yourself, Luca? Why didn’t you call me, what happened to your smart watch?”Luca’s mouth opened to say something, but Laura cut him off.“Sorry, mama. I didn’t mean to get you scared. I wanted to play with other kids here…”Aria felt a sharp pain that ached her chest.One thing about Laura and Luca was that they were honest kids.Aria had trained them that way, and had always been soft with them no matter what.“It’s okay, sweetheart. I’m not mad at you. I’
