Aria’s POVJessica sighed heavily, her confession seeming to drain the little energy she had left. “It’s been going on for several months,” she continued, hardly whispering. “I didn’t want to worry anyone, especially you, Aria. I thought I could handle it, but every time I paid him, he just came bac
Aria’s POVI paced back and forth in Jessica’s hospital room, my fingers nervously fidgeting with the necklace around my neck. It was an absentminded habit, one I had picked up during long, tense moments like these. My eyes drifted to the mirror on the wall, catching a glimpse of my reflection.It w

Victor’s POV“Why not?” Aria answered with a hint of defiance. I shrugged, trying to play it cool despite the pounding of my heart in my chest. Was this a sign that she still cared about me? That she might want to be a family again? I couldn’t help but feel a flicker of hope igniting within me.But

Aria’s POVFor a moment, I was silent, unsure of how to respond. Alicia’s words echoed in my head, heavy and unsettling. She wants to see him? Will that do any good or just harm her?Before I could find my voice, Victor appeared, his presence shifting the energy instantly. Alicia straightened, her e
