Caught in my own desperation.

Aria’s POV.Andrea hadn’t been himself, not when his company was at the edge of collapsing.The board was already calling for a meeting on appointing a new CEO if he doesn’t get the company in a good shape.“She’s still not taking her calls?” Andrea asked his assistant standing beside him.His assistant nodded his head in reply. “No, sir…”Andrea banged his hand on his table, eyes glazing red.His pride burned under his skin, sharp and unbearable.“That stupid bitch… she sure has nerves now,” Andrea pulled his coat and headed toward the door.“Sir… where are we going?” His assistant asked, as he walked behind him.“To the Wolfe empire…” he said.“Wouldn’t that be asking for trouble? Sir… it’s too dangerous, you can’t go…”Andrea paused, hands folded into a fist.“We’ve got no choice but to try.” He headed toward the car.*****Andrea walked out of his car to men on black suits and unreadable expressions standing at the door of Wolfe empire.He stood there for quite a while before gath

Filial Pity.

Ethan’s POV.Morning light spilled the room in gold, streaking across the curtains. Birds chirped loudly, cars honked at the traffic, the servants moved quietly around the house.Aria laid flat in bed, eyes twitching slightly. Ethan sat beside her, head down to the bed.Last night had been a touching and unforgettable one for him as he had drowned in his thoughts.Even while he slept, the words still rang in his head.Aria’s eyes slowly flickered open to the white ceiling, chest rising and falling evenly.She tried to sit upright. “God… I feel so horrible all over,” she whispered as her bones cracked loudly.She held her chest as a sharp pain pierced through it.She gasped, mouth open, fighting for air. Aria hadn’t noticed Ethan had been sitting beside her… until she moved her hand in search of her cell phone. “Uhh? What is he doing here?” Her mind skipped.Aria slid down gently, eyes on Ethan, still surprised.She admired him for a little while.Aria’s hand moved quietly, almost

Little truths.

Aria’s POV.Ethan stood tall at the glass walls, looking beyond the cityscape.He had arrived at the office when he was done with taking care of Aria and her kids.“How’s the investigation I told you about?” His voice was hoarse.Marco who stood behind him, tablet in hand, cleared his throat.“I’m still on it, sir…” he replied.“It’s taking ages, Marco… when did you become this lazy? Looks like you’ve been too comfortable lately…” Ethan said.Marco stood still, eyes twitching. “I already had someone look into the children’s date of birth and the hospital they were born in..”Ethan let out a deep sigh, eyes lingering through the walls.“Make sure nothing gets under your nose. I don’t care how you do it, you have to bring evidence to me. Before the new year celebration.”Marco nodded once. “Yes sir.”Ethan's mind drifted to how happy he would be if Luca and Laura were really his kids… but then it somehow sounded impossible to him…He clutched his hands in his pockets when the memories o

Silent stalker.

Third person’s POV.“Sir, what are we here for?” Andrea’s assistant asked, turning toward him from the front seat.Andrea didn’t say anything, he just kept looking through the tinted window.He’d clutch his hands on his knees, jaw tight.“Have we ever been here before?” Andrea asked his assistant, voice soft.His assistant stayed silent for a moment before clearing his throat.“You never really made it to any of their school events.”Andrea never cared when it came to Luca and Laura… he never saw them as his kids, not for once.Even when Aria had begged him to pick them from school because she was running late, he declined.“Being lenient and kind to you doesn’t give you the advantage of sending me on irrelevant errands.”Luca had once wanted to sit close to him, he always wanted to feel how it was to have a father… but Andrea never allowed him close.He’d scare him away. Luca never dared to get close.“Are we here for Luca and Laura?” His assistant asked.Andrea had parked his car in

The invitation

Aria’s POV.The day goes by as usual. Acting scenes, Lily’s dramas, and completion of files.Aria sank into the seat in her office, a soft laugh bloomed on her lips, eyes cricked at the corner.She’d smile when she remembered how Ethan had cared and comforted her. His silent actions to protect her and the kids, always making sure she was never sad.“I’m I really into him?” She’d muttered, heart racing.Aria sank deeper, legs spread out, hands slipped between her sides.“Why do I feel weird? I’m not falling for him …right?”Aria drifted in her thoughts, she didn’t notice the door open and someone stepping inside.“Ohhh, God,” She murmured to herself silently.Ethan stood for a while, eyes fixed on her. He couldn’t stop admiring how cute she was, his breath parted slightly, breath shallow. They were both lost in thought, but not until Aria lifted her head slightly.“Jesus Christ… how long have you been standing there…” Aria’s breath hitched. Ethan didn’t say anything, he didn’t need

Inner storm, outer calm.

Aria’s POV.The storm hadn't started, yet the whole room kept shaking.Aria sat in the middle of her bed, sheets covered all over, breath uneven.She hadn’t been herself since she read the anonymous text…Chills ran down her spine as the words kept replaying sharp and clear in her head. “You’ve been lied to all your life…”“Your father never got her pregnant…”Aria would wrap herself as if she was being haunted by some ghosts. “Is someone… messing with my head? Why does it feel like I’m losing myself…?”“What does he mean: your father never got her pregnant?” Aria pressed her hands to her head, trying to think it through…Was someone really messing with her? Does he know something Aria and her father doesn’t?“I’m not ignoring this… even if it costs my life…”********Ethan had tried to know what had happened but she couldn’t say a word.This moment she’d pretend to be fine, the next she’s acting weird.“I’m fine…” she’d whispered faintly.Ethan tightened his jaw because he was sad.

Shadow protector.

Aria’s POV. “Sir, it’s done. She just has to get them herself.” Marco said.“Good… still keep your eyes on her, don’t let her get into any danger…” Ethan’s voice was soft.“All you have to do is clear her path. Don’t let her see you.” Ethan added. Ethan had asked Marco to dig into Gwen’s past. Not because he was really interested in them, she wasn’t worth his attention, not in any way.Why was he digging into her past life if he wasn’t interested in it… what was his purpose?Ethan also had Marco provide all the evidence he could find and everyone involved in her schemes.“Why do you keep helping her even when she doesn’t seem to appreciate it that much?” The words slipped from Marco’s mouth.Ethan didn’t respond in a hurry, he absorbed the question before clearing his throat.“I don’t need a reason to protect what’s mine.” A peaceful smile rested on his lips. Dong Dong Dong… his phone vibrated on the table.He picked it up and his grandmother's name popped out of the screen.“You

Bitter, truth, and acceptance.

Aria’s POV. The Rossi company still boomed with noises and rumors all over the city.Andrea hadn’t been able to get his company back to its normal standard since the video was released on the internet.All his plans to get access to Luca and Laura, thinking it would help him win Aria back into his control failed.The board still threatened to give his seat to someone else if he doesn’t make things right before the end of the year.“You have till the end of the year to restore the company to its standard… or we’ll have someone capable replace you.”Andrea hadn’t winked an eye since then… he didn’t want someone else to take over what he had spent years building.And not when his family members were like wolves in a cage waiting for the right time to attack. “The sales aren’t steady yet… we have to pull in our best, sir.” A worker said.Andrea stood beside his chair, hands pressed on his ceramic table.His jaw clenched hard, eyes sharp. “Is this the best you’ve got!? Uhh?” He pushed a

You went too extreme

Aria’s POV.The living room was cold… too cold for the storm rumbling in Aria’s head.She sat like her life would be over soon, as if she was waiting for death or something else…The confession she had received from the very doctor who took care of her mother’s health years back, had her bones chilling.Aria never saw that coming… Everything seemed easy at first, it seemed harmless, but it never was.She thought Gwen was just a greedy, selfish, and arrogant person who would do anything for power and wealth.But she was wrong all along… Gwen was the green snake in sheep’s clothing.She wasn’t just a snake, she had fangs… she was more than a home wrecker… she was the reason Aria had stayed motherless for years.Aria pressed her hands to her chest, struggling to breathe as the words kept replaying in her head.“Your mother didn’t just die from heartbreak…” the doctor said.His words dropped slowly… like a bombshell.He couldn’t lift his face to hers… he wouldn’t dare.“She was killed.”T

Moves in the shadows.

Third person’s POV.Evening in the hospital had always been chaotic as doctors and nurses ran around treating and monitoring patients.It had always been like this since the end of time… but not in Joey’s ward.The temperature in the room seemed quieter than it should.Joey sat on his bed… holding a file and tablet on his hands.The expression on his face says otherwise… it was unreadable.His hands stiffened around the files as he read through them.“I should’ve seen this coming…” he whispered. His assistant, Vincent sat on the couch across from him, legs crossed.“The company is almost at the verge of bankruptcy… something needs to be done, fast…” Vincent said.Joey kept silent… he didn’t say anything… not when his head looked like it was smashed on a rock… His breath hitched… all his years of labor and suffering was going down the drain… and he happened to be the reason why…If he hadn’t let the snake into the house, maybe things wouldn’t have gone downhill.“How’s the board resp
