Aria's POV.

The air was thick with tension as I stood with my friends one last time. Christie, and Josh.

Christie clinged tightly onto my arm as though if she let go, I'll vanish into the thin air and she won't see me again.

“You’ll text us, right?” her voice cracked as she asked, her hands still gripping my arms tightly.

I forced a nod, my throat tightening. “I will,” I whispered, though the lump in my throat made speaking almost impossible. “I promise.”

Josh's eyes were red-rimmed as he tried to put on a brave face. “It’s only two weeks,” he said, his voice trembling. “When you come back, this whole thing will be old news. People will have moved on.”

“Yeah,” Christie added, though her wavering smile betrayed her uncertainty. “You’re stronger than all of this, Aria. Don’t let them win.”

My mind raced with every possible thought... how I could move past the scandal, how I could ever face the world again, how Mom and Dad seemed unshakable. Every avenue of thought led me back to despair, a cycle that felt inescapable.By mid afternoon, the silence in the house grew unbearable. I sat up, my head pounding from the endless tears, and decided to try reaching out to Mom and Dad, they didn't go to work too because of the questioning glared that has extended to them too.Perhaps if I showed them that I was genuinely remorseful, they might soften, even just a little. Wiping my face, I took a deep breath and sauntered downstairs.The living room was entirely quiet, the tension from the night before still lingering in the air. Mom sat on the couch, scrolling through her phone with a tight lipped expression, while Dad st

The silence in the house was unnerving, oppressive, like the air itself had thickened.

    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,

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

  • Let my billionaire ex-husband fall for me   Chapter one.

    Emily's POV."Congratulations, Mrs Liam," My stomach churned in despair as I feared hearing the doctor's next words, which were pretty obvious now. "You are one month pregnant," he finally let the dreadful words out, sending stabs of pain through my already torn heart, slicing it into a million tiny pieces.Those words, which might sound delightful to other women's ears sounded like a curse in my ears right now. I had steadily endured the early signs because I dreaded hearing those words.How could I be pregnant for a man like Liam Johnson? He was my husband, but undoubtedly my worst nightmare. The sound of his car driving into the mansion or the sound of his footsteps walking into the house always had my heart beating drastically in terror. And when he stared at me, the fury in his eyes was evident. His gaze on me always held nothing but disgust and scorn.I knew getting married to me was the worst episode of his life but I had held onto the tiniest gleam of hope that he would adju

    Emily's POV.Throughout the drive to the hospital, no one said a word to anyone. The silence could be sliced effortlessly with a butter knife. I had only one resolution, and that was to protest if our drive here was to take my blood for the strange lady's usage like he had been doing for the past months. I could care less if I was healthy because I was seeking his validation desperately and I would do anything to save my marriage, but I am pregnant now, I needed to be healthy the best I can. As we pulled over at the hospital's parking lot and climbed down, I felt my heart churn in anger as my eyes ran over the huge hospital building. It was a private hospital.I never fail to feel this way each time we arrive here.Whoever Nicole was to him, he could definitely afford her treatment at the biggest private hospital in the country, yet whenever I caught a sickness, I would always take a cab to the nearby hospital if Jared wasn't disposed to drive me.Liam never cared to impress me wit

    Emily's POV."What... What's going on?" My voice came out in a low whisper. The doctor quickly stood up and bolted out of the ward."Oh, poor Emily," Nichole bursted into laughter. "You don't have a life of your own, do you?" "Where is Liam? I need to speak with him," I snapped, ignoring her tantrum. She roared into another fit of laughter. "Liam? He's gone to get the divorce papers ready," her words pierced through my heart like a sharp dagger. He really was going to grant me the divorce. How long has he waited for this?"Awn, you look sad, don't be, love, this is really a good thing for you, I mean just like you said, you are finally going to be free of the torture," "He is my husband," I muttered under my breath. "And yet he calls me in the middle of the night to express his desires to have me at the other side of the bed and not you," yet again, her words were like a bomb, brutally ripping my heart into a million tiny pieces. I should have known.He was really seeing someon

    Aria's POV.I stood broken in the hallway, still trying to piece myself back together after Jeremy had stormed out of my life. My chest felt hollow, my breaths shallow, as though the weight of the world had collapsed on my shoulders. Around me, a swirl of chaos brewed: murmured gossip, disdainful stares, and the cruel buzz of social media notifications flooding my phone. The hate comments...so relentless and dehumanizing.. felt like daggers aimed straight at my heart.“Aria!” Christie's voice pierced through the noise. My two best friends pushed through the growing crowd. Christie grabbed me by the shoulders, her eyes wide with worry. “Ignore them, okay? Just focus on us. They don’t matter.”“Yeah,” Josh chimed in, glaring at a group of students who had their phones out, whispering loudly enough for it to sting. “Seriously, people need to get a life. Pathetic.”Christie wrapped an arm around my waist, her tone soft but firm. “You’re not alone in this. We’ve got you.”I wanted to say

    Aria's POV.I stepped out of class, Josh and Christie never left my side.My head was lowered as hateful whispers and biting comments buzzed around me like angry bees. My fingers clenched the straps of my backpack tightly, my knuckles white as I tried to ignore the venomous words hurled in my direction.“Disgusting.”“How could she?”“I can’t even look at her.”My chest felt heavy, and each step felt like wading through quicksand. The air seemed colder, harsher, as if even it turned against me. I kept my eyes fixed on the ground, praying I could make it to the parking lot without another confrontation.But then I saw him.Jeremy.He stood at the far end of the hallway, his broad shoulders tense, his jaw tight. His brown eyes, usually warm and inviting, now burned with a mix of betrayal and fury. He didn’t need to say a word; his expression alone was enough to stop me in my tracks. My breath hitched, and I swallowed hard, bracing myself for what was coming."We will give you a moment t

    Aria's POV.The sunlight streamed through the my window as I squeezed my eyes open, but it did nothing to lift the gloom that hung over the house. I moved through my morning routines preparing for school with mechanical precision, the events of the previous night replaying endlessly in my mind.Fully dressed for school, I staggered towards the dinning, my heart beating hard against my chest. Reaching the dining, I hesitated for a moment in the doorway before stepping inside. Mom and Dad were present already, Mom at the sink, her back turned, and Dad facing his meal, although picking the food absentmindedly, it was obvious he was lost in his thoughts and the food before him isn't his focus at the moment.None of them looked up as I walked into the dining.Ryan walked in shortly, his steps slow and cautious. “Good morning,” he said tentatively, his voice barely above a whisper.I can't believe I forgot to greet, well, who wouldn't in this situation?I watched closely as Mom's hand froz
