All Chapters of Moon bound At the Altar : Chapter 11 - Chapter 17

Aria's POV**I stood in front of my closet with both hands trembling slightly at my sides as I stared at the clothes hanging there. I had left the green tunic from yesterday on the chair when I took it off last night. The wedding dress trial had made me feel anxious to the point that it caused my stomach to churn. Selene would arrive soon to take me to the boutique. The baby bump felt more noticeable to me every single day. I needed to hide it. What would happen if the wedding dress failed to conceal my body? What if the mirrors in the fitting room showed a clear outline that could not be hidden? Ronan would notice right away. Selene would start asking questions. And Lyra would have all the proof she needed to attack. I took a deep shaky breath and reached for the baggiest sweater I owned. The sweater reached down to my hips when I pulled it on. I combined it with my black pants which had an elastic waistband as the most comfortable option. I now felt a bit more secure about myself. I

Aria's POVMy body woke up that Monday morning with tight stomach anxiety which made sitting up in bed impossible for me. My prenatal checkup appointment was my only obligation that day which I had to attend because I could not cancel or reschedule it. The doctor's appointment which I had been anticipating since my first positive pregnancy test announcement was scheduled two weeks after the office arranged it. The current time was already 7:30 AM according to my quick time check. The house remained quiet because everyone else slept which created an opportunity for me to leave home without anyone seeing or hearing my departure.

Family members who do not belong to my immediate family will regard this appointment as a standard medical examination for a small health issue. I left my bed area with great care to avoid making any noises that might disturb someone who was asleep near me. I stood still for a moment to to

Aria's POVI sat on the very edge of my bed that Tuesday morning feeling completely drained and on edge after barely getting any sleep at all the night before, my hands trembling slightly as I clutched my phone so tight in my lap that my knuckles turned white. The echo of Lyra's threatening words from yesterday outside my bedroom door kept playing in my mind without stopping. "You were alone with Dad six weeks ago. Not Ronan. The truth needs to be spoken before I find out the truth. The woman already possessed too much knowledge and she advanced toward discovering all the secrets which I had worked so hard to maintain hidden from others. The wedding rehearsal loomed just hours away now and thick tension filled the entire house like a massive storm cloud about to break open and pour down destruction on us all. I needed to share this heavy burden because I could not handle it by myself anymore. Selene remained my best friend through everything despite the lies that kept increasing betwe

Lyra’s POVI already had enough.The information she possessed was insufficient for full disclosure but it provided enough understanding.All knowledge surpassed all other things.I gained the ability to track her activities.I would destroy her.Her mind would suffer a complete breakdown.They conducted their discussion inside the living room space.Selene showed her highest achievement through her document organization skills while she started a notebook and placed her phone down which contained planner and decorator and caterer contacts.Ronan sustained his typical composure while he displayed excessive tranquility through his actions.Aria faced them from her seat.The room stayed silent.The girl looked dead in color while she needed to hold on to her regular appearance.I took the seat right next to her.Deliberately.She became rigid at the moment I arrived.Good.Selene began to speak by clapping her hands softly. “Today we need to finalize the venue and guest list and food pr
