Trouble In Paradise Novel Arianna And Nicholas Novels & Stories

Isabella snapped out of her stupor, and accidentally looked him in the eyes, her green eyes meeting his cold ocean blue eyes. “Uh…I—I’m sorry sir,” she quickly bowed her head down not wanting to meet his gaze. She feels like any time she would melt by how intense he was looking at her. Now that she thinks of it, even if that was just one night, she basically had relations with a married man. If he finds out it was her, what will he do to her?

We were neither friends nor enemies. "Have you heard the news?" she asked. The AC unit roared above her head, waves of cool air tangling her ponytail. It was barely past nine o’clock in the morning, but the Tuscan heat had already laid its scorching siege over the buildings. I shook my head in answer to her question as I opened my bottom drawer. I took off my comfortable sandals and slipped into the six-inch stilettos I kept stored in there. "Il Libro Mastro di Maggio (The Maggio Ledger) is missing," she whispered, her voice trembling from excitement.

She should be punished like this! I did not bother sleeping. I was trying to come up with a plan on how I can take Jessica with me. I am trying think of a solution just to stop this mate thing. The palace is heavily guarded with the Alpha's pack also guarding the palace. I can't get away without being caught, no matter how well I know this place. Think Aria... Think. _______ At dawn, I immediately left the maid's quarter. By this time, every servant is already awake to do their work. I should find a way to reach Jessica's room without anyone suspecting of my plan.

There was only his hand, my stomach, and the look on his face. For a second, the ice cracked. And I saw him. Not Alpha Kieran Dragos, killer of weaknesses. Just Kieran. A man, twenty-six, feeling his child move for the first time. His eyes came up to mine. And he _saw_ me. Not Aria Jones. Not the waitress. Aria. His rejected mate. The lone wolf he left to die. “You,” he breathed. The ice came back. Worse than before. A glacier. “Mine,” he growled.

I was draped over his chest, limbs curled around him like an octopus. Maybe I should have been embarrassed by the position, but I was just too comfortable. The storm wasn’t howling as much anymore. The winds must have died down. But the water still pelted the leaves. Our fire was dwindling, though still crackled over the wood. Nicholas looked down and I looked up. I felt more myself now, and he must have been able to see that. “What happened, Piper?” he asked me. Nicholas already knew that Veronica and I had teamed up to find his treasure before Bridget could, so I didn’t have to explain all that.

Sabryna who had a birthday to host was feeling restless and dragged a protesting Ariana to the mall. Ariadne was the last person to turn her paper in. Good thing was for the first time, she answered all the questions. As she happily skipped out, she thanked her fairy godfather for his help, not ignorant of the fact that “he” didn't exactly exist, but it felt surreal to have something to believe in even if it was all made-up. Just as she stepped out the main gate, she came face-to-face with an evil-looking, smirking Jeon Gyu.

Like a lion on the verge of waking up, Nicholas slowly fluttered his eyes open and said, "As you no longer can love anyone, being with anyone is the same… so you don't even want to accept my favors. Ariana, I see you're quick to burn bridges." I shook my head. "We only have a deal between us. I returned to you, so you shall help Yasmine and Pete. I can live with you peacefully, but that's the most I can offer you. The rest are off the table." "You're quite self-aware, aren't you?" Nicholas closed his eyes again, but he was spiraling in turmoil. He really didn't want to let Pete off so easily. Why couldn't Ariana just ask for his help? He was clearly the one in power and had the upper hand. B

I couldn't care less. " Whatever.....let's get to know each other first. What's your name? Mine's Aria Monroe" she says. From her question I knew she wasn't aware of who I was. The hitch in her breath and the faint hum music at the background making her look like a million goddess. She stares at me, her gaze as intoxicating as the liquor I held making my heart skip a bit. " I'm Nikolaus Blackwood by name" " That's great. Y..you're a big shot here right?"

- Nicholas approached me and threw a napkin he was holding into the garbage can. - Why are you telling me this? - I asked confused. - Your friend told me something she apparently shouldn't have. Now I'm leveling the playing field by telling you something about my friend. - He smiled. - There you go. - Arianna said, approaching. - Now we can go home and then we'll go to the hospital. - Hospital? Is someone ill? - Nicholas looked surprised. - We'd better go. - I cut him off. - I can take them home. - Nick offered. Then he approached Arianna and pulled out the napkin in her hands. - It's dirty here. - He wiped the chocolate sauce from the corner of her mouth. For the first time, I saw my friend

Ariana asked as they climbed down the stairs towards the crowd of people. "What is the problem?" He calmly asked as he passed through the crowd almost leaving her behind. She quickly catch up with him then said. "Forget it," She muttered then looked away only to bump into a hard surface. She rubbed her forehead in pain and looked up to see a pair of dazzling cold eyes staring at her like a prey. "I told you to rely on me anytime you feel troubled. I hate it when someone unfinished what they started," He muttered slowly leaning towards her. Ariana's eyes widened as suacer as she doesn't know what to do. She felt her face heat up as she noticed that some people were standing by watching the bo
