Aria's POV My heart was still racing as I hurried out of the room, my face burning with embarrassment. I couldn't believe how he had kept advancing like that. Was he really planning to take things that far right then and there? The thought sent a new wave of heat rushing through me, and I pressed my cold palms against my cheeks, hoping to calm down.I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t even notice someone was standing nearby until I heard a voice.“Aria,” I yelped, startled before turning around. It was Kylie.“Gosh, you scared me.” I told her, but her gaze swept over me, and before I could react, she pointed out.“Your lips are swollen, your face is red, and…” She squinted. “Is your dress wrinkled? Wait—” Her eyes widened with amusement. “Did you give him a blowjob?”“Kylie!” I gasped, rushing to slap a hand over her mouth, my eyes darting toward the room. If he heard that.She burst into laughter, clearly enjoying my mortification, while I grabbed her arm and pulled her away

Aria’s POVThe next morning, I found myself curled up beside Jameson on the couch. His arm was draped over the backrest, fingers occasionally brushing against my shoulder as we all sat around, chatting and laughing. It felt warm, and cozy with everyone filling the room with their endless teasing.Mia came up with asking Kylie and Aiden, specifically to know how well they knew each other. "Tell us about your first date," she said, leaning forward excitedly with her eyes gleaming with curiosity. She was finally warming up with everyone after last night talks.Kylie and Aiden exchanged glances before chuckling. Kylie tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, a slight blush creeping up her cheeks."Well… technically, it was my date," she admitted with a sheepish smile.Ethan raised a brow. "Your date?" She nodded, and before she could explain, Anastasia chimed in with a teasing grin. "Don’t be surprised. She wooed him."My mouth parted in surprise. I wasn’t the only one. Mia gasped

Aria's POV The clock had just passed seven, and the villa had already quieted down. Everyone had gone to their rooms earlier than usual, probably because tomorrow would be a busy day. Kylie’s wedding dress fitting, the hall arrangements, and all the last-minute details—we all had roles to play.That worked in my favor.I stood in front of the mirror, running my hands over the soft blue silk of my bikini. It hugged my body perfectly, the smooth material gliding over my skin. My heart pounded a little faster than usual. Maybe it was nerves, or maybe it was anticipation. Either way, I couldn't deny the excitement bubbling inside me.Jameson had left earlier, and I was making him wait. Not intentionally, of course. Okay, maybe a little. I slipped on my robe, making sure it covered me completely before stepping out of the room.The pool area was in a secluded corner of the penthouse, away from prying eyes. The soft glow of the underwater lights reflected on the surface, casting a beautifu

Aria's POVEveryone left to handle their assigned tasks, and I took my time finishing my meal, but eventually, there was no reason to stall any longer. Letting out a slow breath, I headed outside to the driveway.Jameson was already there, sitting in the driver’s seat of a sleek white car. My steps faltered. This wasn’t the usual one we used. The color was different, and then it hit me, this car was modified to accommodate his wheelchair.Understanding dawned, but I kept my expression neutral. Instead of questioning it, I simply opened the passenger door and slid inside without a word.He started the car engine after some time and drove off.The ride was silent.I turned to the window, letting the wind hit my face as we drove through the city. My stomach still stung a little, but it wasn’t unbearable. I just hoped the cramps wouldn’t get worse after tasting all those cake samples. The thought made me exhale softly.I was still lost in my thoughts that I barely realized the car had sud

Aria's POVI watched Jameson carefully, waiting for his reaction as he took another bite of the cake. Since I couldn’t taste it myself because it contains animal products. I had to rely on his judgment to pick the best one.His eyes slightly narrowed as he chewed, his expression unreadable.“Well?” I pressed. He swallowed and licked his lips. “Mmm, I think I like this one better than the previous one.”“Think?” I raised a brow.“Yeah. Think.” He nodded.I rolled my eyes and turned to the baker. “Can we combine the frosting from this cake with the cake itself from the previous sample?”The woman smiled warmly. “Of course. That’s actually a great idea actually.”“Thanks. Uh… we will need some other samples for the cake designs,” I told her. She was about to continue explaining when Jameson suddenly spoke up. “Do you have any vegan cakes?” My head snapped toward him in surprise.“Yes, we do. Would you like to try one?” She asked him politely.“A cup of cake, please,” He requested, and
