CHAPTER 71

ADRIAN POVThe day finally broke after what felt like forever. I lay on my back in the large king-sized bed of my private penthouse above the casino, staring at the ceiling my eyes refusing to give in to sleep. Each time I tried to sleep, I saw an image of Aria crying, wearing a white wedding gown with smeared makeup in my dream. More than five different times, and that jerked me awake, with my heart beating faster, half-expecting my phone to ring with her voice on the other end. But it didn’t ring. The rain from last night had turned into a drizzle, tapping softly against the floor-to-ceiling windows. The Grey morning light penetrated through my room. My body ached from the long hours spent in the cold on that pier, my muscles were stiff, fatigue took over my whole body, coupled with my lack of sleep. My mind was worse than all the physical pain, with different painful and hurtful thoughts running through me. I dragged a hand down my face, rubbing the rough stubble on my jaw. Par

CHAPTER 72

ARIA POVI heard a loud knock on my door again. BANG! BANG! BANG!My heart skipped at the sound, thinking my father was back for me again, probably Ethan had reported me to him. “Miss Aria!” One of the security guards called from outside, with a very loud voice. “Your father wants you in his study immediately. He said not to keep him waiting.”I was still sitting on the floor where I had collapsed after my miserable dinner with Ethan, my back leaning against the door, while my knees were drawn to my chest. My body felt heavy, like I had carried two bags of cement. My eyes were swollen, red, and itching. My throat was dry, painful and hoarse. While my head felt heavy with a migraine that refused to ease, after taking pain relief.I didn’t want to move, I didn’t want to face the reality of today. But I had no choice.I pushed myself up on shaky legs, using the door for support. I check my reflection in the full-length mirror across the room, and I look like a stranger, with my pale fa

CHAPTER 73

ARIA POVThe silence in my father’s study after Ethan spoke was suffocating.I clenched my hands, my heart was beating faster against my ribs that I was certain everyone could hear it. My hands shook, where I kept them in my lap, and I had to grip the fabric of my black dress tightly to keep them still. I felt like I was going to be sick. Everyone turned to look at Ethan.My Father narrowed his already dark eyes at him, clenching his jaw tightly as he leaned forward in his chair. Camille’s small, satisfied smile widened into something almost gleeful, her eyes sparkling with malicious delight as she watched the drama unfold like it was her favourite soap opera. Adrian sat perfectly calm beside me, his expression was blank, but I knew him too well, I knew he was also tensed the way his jaw was clenched, the way his hands rested on his thighs like he was ready to move at any second if things went bad.And me? I wanted the floor to open up and swallow me whole.I wanted to reach under th

CHAPTER 74

ARIA POVMy father’s terrifying smile remained on his face as he stared at Adrian, and the more seconds passed by, the more I realised that something was going on in his head. It was getting worse. It was the look my father wore whenever he wanted someone to suffer slowly instead of destroying them immediately.And somehow, that frightened me more than all his shouting combined.The room remained painfully silent, nobody daring to interrupt whatever dark thought was forming inside his head, while I stood frozen between him and Adrian, my chest rising and falling in panic. Then finally, my father laughed softly under his breath. The sound sent chills through me instantly.“You know,” he said calmly, loosening the cuff of his expensive suit jacket with a terrifying composure, “for a second there, I actually considered firing you.”My stomach dropped. I turned toward Adrian immediately, but his expression still didn’t change.My father continued pacing slowly around the room, his polis

CHAPTER 75

ARIA POVThe morning after the confrontation felt like waking up in hell.I hadn’t really slept. I had tossed and turned all night, replaying every single word my father had said, every cold look he had given Adrian, every threat that still echoed in my head. When I finally dragged myself out of bed around 8 AM, my eyes were swollen and red, my head was heavy from migraine, and my chest felt like someone had wrapped iron bands around it.I stood in front of the mirror in my bathroom for a long time, staring at the stranger looking back at me. My face was pale, my lips were dry and cracked. There were dark circles under my eyes that no amount of makeup would fully hide. I looked exactly how I felt, broken, exhausted, and completely trapped.A soft knock came on my bedroom door.“Miss Aria,” one of the maids called gently. “Your father wants you ready in thirty minutes. The wedding gown fitting has been scheduled for this morning at La Belle Bridal. He said Adrian will drive you.”My st

CHAPTER 76

ARIA POVThe moment the car drove through the mansion gates and came to a smooth stop in the usual spot near the side entrance, my heart became heavier in my chest.After our little confession in the car, we had spent the entire drive back staring blankly out the window, silent tears slipping down my cheeks while Adrian’s knuckles stayed white on the steering wheel. The silence between us had been heavier. Now, as Adrian stepped out of the driver’s seat and walked around to open the back door for me with perfect, professional politeness, I felt like I was stepping back into a prison I would never escape.“Miss Aria,” he said quietly, his voice was low. I took his hand for the briefest second as I stepped out. That small touch, that warm, familiar, and completely forbidden touch sent a sharp sting through my heart. Our eyes met for a few seconds. He looks exhausted, haunted. Like he had spent the last twenty-four hours doing a very heavy job. I pulled my hand away quickly and walke

CHAPTER 77

ARIA POVThe second fitting was supposed to be for the French wedding, the grander, more traditional ceremony that would take place in Ethan’s homeland. My father had insisted on two weddings to solidify the alliance properly. One here for local guests and business associates, and another in France for European connections and to show the world the strength of the union. Two public declarations that I belonged to Ethan. Two chances for everyone to witness my cage being locked shut. I hated it.I stood in the middle of the private dressing room at La Belle Bridal, surrounded by mirrors that reflected my misery from every angle. The designer and her team fluttered around me like excited birds, adjusting pins and fabric while chatting happily about how romantic and timeless the gowns were for a destination wedding in the French countryside. They had no idea they were preparing a funeral dressed up as a fairy tale.The dress I was currently wearing was the fifth one today, it was a luxur

CHAPTER 78

ADRIAN POVI had imagined killing Ethan Hayes at least twenty different ways within the last five minutes alone, and the truly disturbing part was how effortlessly every single scenario came to me, how naturally my mind calculated every angle, timing, force, and cleanup like I had been preparing for this exact moment my entire life.The boutique suddenly no longer felt like a luxury bridal store filled with expensive fabrics, crystal chandeliers, and smiling assistants pretending romance still existed in the world, because to me it had transformed into a cage where I was being forced to sit quietly while another man touched the woman I loved right in front of me.The scent of champagne, perfume, and fresh flowers in the air made me sick. Because all I could smell was him on her.All I could hear was Aria’s uncomfortable voice when she asked him to stop touching her.And all I could think about was how easily I could drag Ethan Hayes into one of these fitting rooms, lock the door behin

CHAPTER 79

ADRIAN POVThe drive back to the Bennett mansion was pure, suffocating torture. Nobody spoke.The silence inside the car was uncomfortable, as rain had started pouring halfway through the drive. The heavy drops hit the black SUV aggressively, while the windshield wipers moved back and forth in rhythmic motions that only made the atmosphere feel darker.I sat in the driver’s seat gripping the steering wheel harder than necessary, I clenched my jaw tight, while every single second from that fitting room replayed inside my head with enough clarity to make my blood boil all over again.Ethan touches her, Aria freezing beneath him. The discomfort in her eyes. The way she had whispered for him to stop.And then his disgusting voice afterwards, mocking me, calling me her toy that I was some pathetic side entertainment she kept hidden behind closed doors.The urge to turn this car around and drive it straight off a cliff with Ethan still inside it had crossed my mind at least three times alre

CHAPTER 80

ARIA POVThe silence in the mansion was deafening.I stood at the top of the grand staircase, one hand resting on the mahogany railing, staring down at the empty dining room below. The massive crystal chandelier hung motionless, its light casting long, look across the marble floor. Usually, there was always some kind of noise in the mansion, the maids whispering, Camille’s loud laughter echoing from another room, my father’s heavy footsteps, or Ethan’s voice trying to insert himself into every conversation. Today, there was nothing. Just me.And the ticking of the grandfather clock in the living room, counting down the final days I had left before everything changed forever.I had just two weeks until the first wedding.The thought alone filled me with sadness. Two weeks until I would stand in front of hundreds of powerful people, dressed in white, and promise myself to a man I didn’t love. And three weeks until the second, even grander ceremony in France would make it official in Et
