Aria’s POV. It’s been a week.But to Me, it felt like a whole year, Ryan was still being hostile towards me.i have tried every possible way to get him to give up his decision including trying to seduce him, but he straight up turned me down, his mind was made up and none of my many attempts got to him.Initially, staying a day without getting intimate with him always posed a heavy threat to me and now it's been days yet nothing.It was driving me nuts, at this point,just a touch from him would make me squirt in my panties, I never craved something so badly."HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" I suddenly jerked up from my bed almost falling to the floor as I heard voices screaming In the room.i cursed at myself inwardly suddenly remembering what day it was as i watched mom and dad together with Ryan surround my bed singing birthday songs, they all had wrapped gifts on their hands.It was my birthday, but I forgot due to the issue I was having with ryan.My eyes drifted towards him, and to my surp
Aria's POV.He gently dropped me on the bed and rested my head on the pillow, then climbed on, laying in between my legs. Slowly he captured my lips in a deep kiss."Are you okay?" He asked softly as he broke the kiss and stared into my eyes. "Yeah" I muttered under my breath.Though I was super delighted to be finally getting what I have craved for years but somehow I was a bit scared too, it's my first time and I couldn't help but wonder how it's gonna turn out to be."Don't worry, I will be extremely gentle," he replied as though he could hear my thought.He placed his hands on both sides of my head and kissed me gently.Shivers ran down my spine as I felt his hand reach out for my boobs and cupped it softly, giving it a gentle squeeze. Then he slowly bent his head forward to my chest and skillfully took one of my nipples into his mouth."Hah!" I gasped lightly as I felt his tongue rolling on it.He added a little pressure and made it more intense, like a suckling baby feeding f
Aria's POV."Matter of fact, are you tired?" I suddenly blurted out. I could barely recognize myself speaking."Of course not, why do you ask?" He muttered."Good, I'm not tired either, how about we continue this at the beach?" I suggested, the corner of my lips tugged up in a sly smirk."What? Hell no, Aria, it's your first time and you must really be tired, you need to get a good rest," he retorted."Well, I'm not, all I need right now is you," I mumbled and bit my lips staring intently into his eyes. "What? Who are you and what have you done to my Aria?" He teased and I bursted into laughter."You turned me into this person when you starved me for weeks, now I can't get enough of you," I rolled my eyes at him."Mm, so you want us to do it again in the beach water huh?" He teased."And the seashore as well, I want all of it, I don't know when I will get the chance to be with you like this again," I pouted. "Trust me Aria, this is gonna be a regular thing henceforth, I will always

Aria's POV.I stirred slightly and let out a weary yawn as my eyes flew open weakly.I almost screamed out in fright as a pair of eye stared intently into mine.Ryan bursted into laughter."Explain to me how this is supposed to be funny Ryan," I snapped.He never stops doing that."What? You looked so beautiful in your sleep I couldn't stop staring," he retorted."Whatever, we need to head back home before we get into trouble, I... I suddenly paused and stared into space as a sad realization hit me."Oh shit! Jeremy, I told him I was going to check something out in my room last night, I totally forgot to send him off, fuck!" "That's not a problem, I took care of him and Eleanor right after I saw you heading towards your room," he said."You did? What did you say to them?" I asked"Nothing you need to know, now c'mon, get yourself under the shower let's bounce, we need to be home before mom and dad returns," he replied."I can't believe this is really happening," I exhaled hard."Wha
Aria's POV.I gasped in surprise as we entered the house, everywhere was neatly arranged like nothing happened there the previous night."Ryan.."Told you I had everything under control," he winked."Thanks babe, I guess mom and dad aren't here yet," I flashed him a warm smile. "Trust those two to probably be in a hotel right now, fucking their senses away," he whispered and we bursted into laughter."Let's go get ready, shall we?" I headed upstairs, while he followed suit.***In few minutes, we were ready for school and headed out.Just as we opened the door to leave, we came face to face with Mom and Dad."Mom! Dad!" I squealed and rushed into their arms."My baby," Mom cooed wrapping her arms around me."Did you have a good time yesterday? Did you enjoy your party?" Dad asked."I had the best time of my life dad, I really wished it never ended, thanks for giving me this opportunity," I squealed happily.I heard Ryan chuckle behind me, ofcourse he knew exactly what I meant, while
Aria's POV."What!? Josh screamed out loud."Hey, keep it low, you are going to drag attention towards us," I scolded."Tell us everything, don't you dare leave any detail out, c'mon," Christie squealed impatiently grabbing my hand and dragged me to a hidden corner."Are you sure someone won't hear us from here? Remember the last time," I retorted."Hold on a sec." She said taking a few steps away from us and spun around stylishly before returning to where we stood."What was that for?" I asked."Well if Ryan would ever allow you have a single moment for yourself, you could watch detective shows and know some basic tricks, by the way, coast is clear, you can go ahead now," she rasped out without stopping to take a breath. I couldn't hold back my laughter."Aria, common, do I need to spell it out for you? What freaking happened last night!" I suddenly blushed hard as I reminisced the events of last night."Ryan is really sweet you know? I just wish everything isn't so complicated, I w
Aria's POV."Morning beautiful parents," Ryan and I chorused as we climbed down the stairs strolling towards the dining.I really do envy how Dad never fails to keep Moms company every morning while she made breakfast for us, despite having work to attend to.Mom got a real one truly."Beautiful kids, how was your nights?" Mom replied."Oh, Perfect," Ryan quickly blurted out.This asshole will get us in trouble."Mm, you answered like you are speaking for the both of you," Dad retorted."I know right? Got me wondering too," Mom chirped in."Well of course I am speaking for the both of us, right Aria?" He turned towards me with a creepy smile."Don't mistake me for Eleanor please, you have no idea how my night was," I snapped, and went to take my seat.He bursted into laughter, drawing out a seat next to me."Aria, how is it going with Jeremy? I've not seen him in a while," Mom asked."Mom, you saw him during her birthday which is barely even up to a week, do you want him to get his th
The restaurant was warm, the golden lights casting a cozy glow over the sleek wooden tables. Soft jazz music played in the background, mingling with the murmurs of the other diners, the clinking of silverware against fine china.I sat by the window, stirring my drink absentmindedly as I watched the city move outside. For the first time in what felt like forever, I was alone. No responsibilities pressing on my shoulders, no demands clawing at my time. Just me, a beautifully plated meal, and the illusion of peace.I let out a long sigh, sinking into the plush chair, allowing myself to bask in the moment. Life had been... exhausting. For years, I had been running. Not literally, but emotionally, mentally. Running to fix things, to prove myself, to erase the shadows of the past. And on top of that, I had a daughter now—a beautiful, sweet little girl who meant everything to me. She had Ryan’s piercing eyes, his lips, but my face. Every time I looked at her, it was like seeing pieces of him
Aria's POV. It had been two years since everything changed... since the scandal that turned my world upside down. And then my parents had it fixed. Christie, Josh and I were done with highschool and now in our first year in college. And just like every other day, we were laughing about some stupid class project as we made our way down the sidewalk.Suddenly, my phone tucked in my pocket and I quickly fetched it from my pocket, I didn't recognize the number, but it was an unknown area code, and something about it made my stomach drop.“Hold on, guys,” I said to Christie and Josh before picking the call “Hello?” “Is this Aria Liam's?” a calm voice on the other end asked.“Yes,” I replied, getting confused now. “This is city hall hospital. We need you to come in immediately. Your presence is required.”My mind raced. The urgency in the voice sent a chill down my spine. “What happened? Is everything okay?”“I’m afraid I can’t give you any details over the phone,” she said. “But it’s
Aria's POV.I had never been so relieved to return to school. Two weeks off, two long weeks of hiding away in my room, avoiding the pitying stares from neighbors, and the whispers of strangers who thought they knew everything. But today, today I was going back. I wasn’t going alone either. My parents were walking beside me, I didn’t know exactly what they had planned, but I knew they were going to do something about the scandal. Something that would either make everything better.. or make it worse.I adjusted the strap of my bag, glancing at my parents as we walked through the front gate of the school. Mom was standing tall, shoulders squared, walking with a determined pace. Dad, on the other hand, had his hands jammed deep into his pockets. They looked like the same parents I had known my whole life, though today felt different. They were on a mission.The moment we stepped onto school grounds, I could feel the tension. The eyes. People were still talking about us.. about the scanda
Aria's POV.The moment I broke the hug, a strange sensation crawled through my body. It wasn’t pain, but something that felt like an overwhelming wave, an unsettling force pulling at my insides. My stomach twisted, and a sudden wave of nausea surged up through my chest, catching me off guard. My vision blurred, and I swayed, struggling to keep myself upright. I gripped the edge of the chair, my fingers digging into the hard surface in an attempt to ground myself. But her body wasn’t listening to me. It felt like it had betrayed me, as if it had no control of its own."Hey, Aria, what's wrong?" I heard distant voices but I couldn't make out who they belonged to.My head spun, the room seeming to tilt at an impossible angle. The world around me began to dissolve, the sounds muffled as if underwater. I gasped for air, trying to steady myself, but it was as though the air itself had become thick, too heavy for me to breathe. My chest tightened, and my pulse raced, the noise of my heartbea
Aria's POV.The days dragged on, each one stretching endlessly without Ryan. The grief was a living thing, wrapping around me, suffocating me. I missed him in ways that words could never capture. It wasn’t just his presence; it was the way he made me feel, the way he could make even the worst moments bearable. Now, everything was unbearable.I hadn’t left my room much, only stepping out when my body physically forced me to. I barely ate. I barely slept. When I did sleep, it was restless, haunted by dreams of Ryan... his voice, his touch, his warmth. Only to wake up to the cruel reality that he was gone.Christie and Josh had been my lifeline, visiting almost daily. They would knock, call my name softly, and even if I didn’t answer, they would sit outside my door for hours, talking about everything and nothing at all. I didn’t deserve them, but I needed them. Even if I could barely acknowledge it.It was a week of my suspension today, after spending hours lying in bed, staring blankly
Ryan's POV.It had been days. Days since Ryan had disappeared from my life, leaving nothing but an empty hole where my heart used to be. I could still feel the echoes of his presence, haunting the corners of the house, in the space where his laughter used to ring, in the quiet that used to be filled with his voice. But now, everything felt hollow. I hadn’t heard from him since that video, that live confession. And with every passing moment, the silence grew louder, consuming me more and more until I couldn’t tell where I ended and the emptiness began.I sat on the floor in the far corner of my room, my knees drawn up to my chest, arms wrapped tightly around them as if I could protect myself from the overwhelming emptiness that consumed me. The walls felt like they were closing in. The quiet, the stillness, it suffocated me. My mind wouldn’t let me escape the thoughts of him. Of what he said. Of what he did. Of what he could have done to escape this nightmare.My heart kept trying to
Aria's POV.I didn’t think. I just ran.My feet slammed against the cold floor of the hallway as I hurtled down the stairs, my heart racing, pounding in chaotic rhythm. It was as though my entire body was trying to escape the terror and helplessness that consumed me, trying to outrun the suffocating fear that had taken over my mind. My thoughts were a blur, a haze of desperate urgency, but they all had one single, overpowering focus: Ryan.I had to find him. I had to stop him.I absolutely don't know where he is or where to find him but one thing was sure, I will get him back.The words from his confession echoed in my head, over and over again: “I’m leaving. I’ll disappear.”No. He couldn’t. He couldn’t just leave me. Not after everything. Not after the bond we shared, the love, the years of quiet, stolen moments that had built up between us. Ryan was my everything. He was my protector, my constant, the one person who had never looked at me with judgment, never turned his back on me,
Aria’s POV. my heart pounded against my ribcage, each beat echoing in my ears like a warning. Something felt wrong... deeply wrong. I couldn't quite place it, but it clawed at my insides. The silence in the house was unnerving, oppressive, like the air itself had thickened. The usual heated house filled with laughter and happiness was absent since the day Ryan and I got outed, but today's emptiness felt different. It was as if the whole house had been drained of sound, leaving behind only an unsettling stillness.My eyes darted nervously over the hallway as I reached Ryan’s door. My hand trembled slightly as I pushed it open, the door creaked softly and I stepped inside, expecting to find him lounging on the bed, headphones in, oblivious to the world as he has been doing since the whole scandal. But when I looked around, my stomach sank.His room was completely… empty.The bed was made finely as though no one has laid on it for a while, the edges of the blanket smooth. The chair at h
Aria's POV.I laid lifelessly on my bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. I could tell my eyes has gotten swollen and red from crying, but no matter how much I tried, the tears wouldn’t stop threatening to spill over again. I curled up tightly under my blanket, trying to block out the whirlwind of emotions threatening to consume mr. It's the second day of my suspension and it felt like it had already lasted a lifetime, and the thought of enduring this for two weeks was unbearable.The silence in the house was oppressive, broken only by the faint hum of the air conditioning. I have been replaying every moment of the ordeal in my mind, trying to understand how things had spiraled so far out of control. I wanted so desperately for things to go back to how they were, to have my parents' love and trust again, and for the world to stop feeling like it was closing in on me. Each time I thought I had run out of tears, a fresh wave of sorrow would crash over me, leaving me sobbing into my pill
