ARIA'S POV;

The feeling of the ever soft bed beneath me and the sun shining directly on my eyes made me grumble, wishing I could skip classes today but it was only the beginning of college and slacking off wasn't an option.

I popped one eye open, immediately regretting that decision as the morning sun almost blinded me with its brightness. I shook my head in self pity, mentally scolding myself for not closing the curtains properly the previous evening.

Just then, events of yesterday evening came rushing into my head. I rubbed my chest, immediately feeling a slight pain, a reminder of the rejection of my mate I had accepted yesterday. Just as it had come as a surprise to him, judging from the look I saw on his face before I collapsed due to the pain, it had also come as a surprise to me.

I didn't plan on accepting his rejection right in front of Caroline, his girlfriend and mate as he had addressed her.

The thought of what her reaction must have been had me almost cursing myself out for the slip up.

Now, it was only going to make Ronald see me as a young uncontented adult who deserved nothing from him.

I wouldn't be surprised to realize he wanted me out of his house since my words had caused him to lose Caroline.

The smile he had on while he introduced her to me was something that stood plastered in my head, like a sore spot.

Was he going to ask me to leave his house? At the thought of the friends I was yet to make , fear gripped my heart.

Swallowing, I pulled the covers away from my body, barely trusting myself to stand on my feet.

"Do you know If she'll be up already?" I heard Caroline's voice from downstairs, making me go still mid air.

With one leg on the floor and the other on the bed, I didn't know whether to put the covers away from me, or on me to pretend.

Either way, I knew I had to face this but the though of the question I was going to be asked ate away at me.

Sighing, I rubbed my forehead, pushing away the locks of scattered hair on my head before standing to my feet.

Thirty minutes later, I was finally all dressed up, ready to settle the mess I created.

Lo and behold, as I walked down the stairs, staring down at the living room, it was more peaceful than I thought it to be.

My eyebrows slowly scrunched into deep frowns, while I took very quick steps down the stairs to see no one in the living room.

A subtle sound in the kitchen had me sighing before I made my way there, with my heart in my mouth, hoping I wasn't going to be sent out.

My joy knew no bounds when I only caught sight of Caroline in the kitchen, holding a mug to her lips, with her eyes on her phone as she leaned on the counter.

"Finally, you're awake. Are you feeling better? You collapsed last night all of a sudden. Ronald was the one who carried you up and I must say, you look heavier than you appear. Must be the two huge mangoes you're carrying," She said in one breath.

For someone who had woken from her slumber less than one hour ago, I found her words difficult to digest properly.

Within the next ten seconds, my eyes only remained on her, with my brain still trying to process her words. Finally, she raised her head, her eyes meeting with mine and it all finally clicked in my head.

Ronald carried me? I thought to myself in confusion but what I didn't understand was the smile on her face as she said all of this.

Did she forget what I said yesterday? Or was she pretending not to have heard? I couldn't help but think but her next words had my train of thoughts coming to a halt.

"Don't worry. I'm going to pretend like I didn't hear a thing yesterday. After all, you've done what's needed and that is settled," with a wave of her hand in the air, and a meaningful smile on her face, Caroline assured.

I managed to force a smile on my face, not wanting to cause any further misunderstanding than I already have.

At least, I was glad that she chose not to take things up.

"Good morning and thank you....," I began to say, briefly pausing to check the time, only for me to realise I was five minutes late to my second class.

"Umm, I have to go now. Please help me tell Ro-, my uncle, I had to leave for school."

I managed to catch myself before saying the one word that could cause more issues.

It was slightly creeping, watching as Caroline's expression didn't change one bit, her fake smile ever present on her face.

What exactly did he see in her? I wondered but a part of me knew she was far prettier than I'd like to admit.

She put down the mug in her hand, before patting the sides of her red painted lips with a tissue, "Sure. You can wait for me, I can give you a ride in my car."

Immediately, every fiber of my being was ready to refuse her offer, knowing that she gave off these strange vibes was enough for me to want to keep my distance.

"It's nothing. I'll be fine. Besides, I already have a few friends to meet up with along the way."

And that right there, was a total lie I managed to hastily come up with before I was forced into a situation I didn't want to see myself in.

From the look in her eyes, Caroline knew I was lying but rather than calling me out to it, she gave me one of her forced smiles again, before nodding her head; "Alright, if you insist. Be safe on your way out."

By the time she was done saying this, I was already out of the door, happy I wasn't forced to be in an awkward situation.

Again, my walk to school was a short one but was mainly about me with different thoughts in my head.

"Hey, you attend Elites college, don't you?" A loud horn, followed by the screeching of tires had me wincing.

Turning to my side, I was ready to give a piece of my mind to whoever it was but my mouth dropped open when I set my eyes on the beauty before me.

No, not the young man with golden locks but the beauty he was sitting in. The beautiful cloud blue beauty that seemed to be calling out to me.

"I can see you're more interested in my sports car than I'm interested in you," a chuckle, followed by a snort drew me out of my reverie, meeting with eyes that was just the same colour as the beauty.

My cheeks grew warm at his words and the feeling of blood rushing to my cheeks didn't make things easier for me.

"Get in," now, in a more cold voice , he said. Every trace of smile on his face was long gone, leaving only a bold look that struck fear in my heart.

I bit my lip, nervously licking it, already shaking my head from side to side even before my mouth managed to open. "You don't have to worry about me. I'll be fine. Besides, I'm almost there. Have a nice day today."

I was already walking away from him, feeling a bit of fear at who this handsome stranger was.

"Ah!" I Screamed in shock as he revved his car loudly, almost causing me to stumble in my steps.

"Doe eyes, don't make me say it again. I won't be nice the next time I say it. Get in."

Golden hair left no room for refusal and almost immediately, I found myself walking to his car with my body stiff.

One couldn't blame a lady for being too scared to speak in the presence of someone who left her with no choice. The best thing I could do for my safety was to sit up straighter than I ever hand, with my hand protectively clinging onto the seat belt like my life depended on it.

    ARIA'S POV; I have never been stared at so intensely in my life compared to the way most of the students have all been staring at me since morning. Every attempt at trying to make a conversation had gone down the drain, thanks to the Bambi sending them death glares. "What is wrong with everyone?" I sighed for the hundredth time on my way to class. It was my second day in college and yet, I was enjoying none of it. I never wished to experience the same thing I had faced this morning ever again. "I'd also like to know," came the answer I wasn't expecting and immediately, I stopped in my tracks. Turning to my side, to see a petite female beside me who had glasses framing her tiny face, with her head in a scattered bun- yes, not a messy but a scattered bun, making me realize there was no intent in trying to make herself look pretty. My smile came freely on my face and I didn't need to fake it again while I walked with her. I was on the way to the last class I had whi

    RONALD'S POV; How was I to shatter every illusion she had in her head? What was I to tell her that the man whom she knew as a father was not her father but the same man who was responsible for the death of her biological father? I had to keep this secret from her because it was one thing I owed the man she knew as a father. It was the promise I made to him years ago, never to tell her and it was the same reason I couldn't help but reject her, knowing I couldn't let her know. It pained me to see her smile at others, even making me conscious of our age difference. Bringing Caroline into the picture was a way to caution myself to stay off Aria. Despite the rejection, I could still feel the connection we had, making me know our bond was yet to be fully broken. I wasn't going to be the one to tell her about this secret and neither was I prepared to. Though, I wasn't willing to admit the fact that I wished to build feelings between us first even if I wanted to tell this to her. I

  • My uncle, My mate   The interrogation

    ARIA'S POV I sat on my bed, surrounded by the familiar walls of my room, but my mind was a million miles away. My mind kept drifting back to the scattered paper Ronald had dropped back at the lecture hall- the adoption document that was starting to increase my curiosity and confusion. Why had he not let me pick it up? Why was the same document in my late father's drawer? The questions swirled in my head like a vortex, leaving me dizzy and disoriented. I felt like I was living in a dream, where nothing made sense and everything was shrouded in mystery. Just as I was starting to get lost in my thoughts, I heard the sound of footsteps outside my door. "Aria, dear, your uncle wants to see you downstairs," Caroline's voice called out. I sighed inwardly, feeling a sense of trepidation wash over me. Caroline and I didn't seem like two who were going to see eye-to-eye. She always seemed to be watching me with an air of disdain, her eyes narrowing slightly whenever I walked into the room

    ARIA'S POV;The evening air was heavy with the scent of raw food and worn-out silence. I sat at the counter, nursing a bowl of cornflakes, my eyes fixed on the blank wall ahead. My mind, however, was elsewhere, replaying the challenging encounter with Caroline and Ronald earlier that day. The way she had smiled, the way she had laughed, it all seemed so fake, so forced. I couldn't help but wonder what she was really after. Was it just about the rejection or the fact that she felt something was going on between Ronald and I? As I sat there, lost in thought, the sound of the door creaking open broke the spell. I turned to see my said uncle, Ronald, stumble into the kitchen. His eyes were glassy, his hair disheveled, and his smile lopsided. He was drunk, and I could tell it was going to be one of those nights I never thought I'd see. His cheeks were a painted shade of red that made him look funny, yet cute. I didn't say a word, hoping he'd just grab a glass of water and stumble off to

    ARIA'S POV; The next morning, I was pumped up and ready to follow the map I had come up with before sleep took me to rest. Unfortunately for me, the kiss with Ronald last night had made it impossible for me to get the sleep I deserved and left me with the option of staring into blankness until my eyes couldn't keep up anymore. "I'm going out," I said to Caroline that morning before leaving the house. Not only was I awkward about being with her after I was almost caught last night, but I still wasn't pleased about her presence here. "Once I get a job, all of this would be over," were the words I used to console myself, feeling pumped to start seeking jobs I could do. Thirty minutes outside and I was starting to regret my decision. The various shops I had gone to claim not to be seeking workers and yet, they'd hire a lady with smaller chest than mine. It was true that my front side was bigger than the average women's size. As a result of this, it had been hard to see

  • My uncle, My mate   The new club

    ARIA'S POV; "Are you going to keep staring at my boyfriend?" I hadn't realised Esmeralda was right behind me not until she spoke harshly. In the few minutes I had previously gotten to know, I had easily realised she wasn't someone with the kind of character I'd enjoy. The moment I stared at her, I could see daggers flying from her eyes, straight at me and only if it were real, I'd have been long dead by now. Even after hearing the grunts of pain behind me, I paid it no heed, refusing to be the one to break the stare between us. It was hilarious seeing as she was so prickly when the best she could have done was to not do anything. "Are you just going to keep acting like a b*tch everytime we meet?" This question slipped past my mouth, leaving me with no chance to stop it. Judging by Esmeralda's reaction, she had also been caught off guard. Her mouth went open and then closed repeatedly, raising a shaky index finger at me as she said helplessly, "You...you!" "How m

    Ronald's POV; Every attempt at convincing myself that the kiss I had with Aria last night in the kitchen was a mistake had come to nothing but a total failure. The feeling of her soft lips on mine, with our tongues clashing, together with the warmth of her mouth only made me hard every second I thought about her. Staring down at the pile of scripts in front of me, I sighed for the hundredth time upon seeing the scribbled lines on it. A small crack and I stared at the broken pen in my hand, reminding myself of why I had to endure all of this once again. "You said you were going to join me for lunch but instead, you buried yourself in this office since the morning," Caroline's accusal finally had me raising my head after hours of burying my face in documents I still wasn't able to go through. Taking a quick look at the window, I marveled at how fast it had gotten dark. The subtle click of heels hitting the floor drew my attention back to Caroline again, only to see sh

    Ronald's POV: A hot sweaty mess, that was what she looked like while standing amongst the crowd of students. I had watched her fight her way to the front, even with the awareness that all eyes were on me and staring at her in times like this was only going to cause trouble. Still, it couldn't be helped that I kept having flashbacks of how she had screamed and moaned my name all through the night till dawn. Even the thought of it had my wolf steering awake and a certain part of me was ready to continue his spree. "Professor Ronald, we're all ears!" As expected, a starry eyed female yelled among the large number of students seated in the hall. "If you're not a part of my class, please leave and let seats be available for the ones who really have my class," I sighed, with this being my routine every time I had classes to take. This was the reason for the hatred some of the other lecturers had towards me as their students always made it a schedule to skip their classes

    Aria's pov; Ever heard of the guilt that follows after the deed has been done? Exactly! That was what I was feeling the moment I tried to turn on the bed. The feeling of the soft material of the bedding embraced me, calling out to me and making me want to sink further into it. I dreaded having to open my eyes, knowing that Ronald was long gone since his scent was only faint. "Mtssss!" I hissed out as pain shot through my legs and waist as I tried to turn. My eyes readily flew open only for me to see how late in the day it was and I was only just waking. One couldn't blame me since I had been repeatedly pounded into throughout the entire night, until what looked like five in the morning before I was let go. "Let me take it that you enjoyed the night, didn't you?" a voice from behind me asked. Immediately, I sat upright, Leyton out a scream that accompanied my shock. "Haaaaa!" Turning properly to see who it was, I was ready to tear Rover into pieces but it was on

  • My uncle, My mate   No regrets 3

    Aria's pov; 'I shouldn't have said that,' were the only words that kept ringing in my ear as Ronald nibbles on my bottom lip, letting his tongue trail along my lips with a broad smile on his face. He hadn't really done a thing and yet, I had a feeling I was going to be left screaming and crying in pleasure. "It's too late to take back your words now. You asked for it and you'd be getting it," he laughed, seemingly enjoying the look on my face. Talking in this situation was pointless since Ronald had me pinned to the wall, with one of his hand holding my right thigh up. My eyes darted towards his bulging member, and I swallowed in pity at the thought of how that thing was going to fit in me. "Don't do that. You're only going to make me want to do it more," said Ronald, still grinning and smiling like none of the expressions I was wearing meant a thing. "W...wait!" I helplessly began to say just as he brought his face closer to mine, allowing all of my back to be pre

  • My uncle, My mate   No regrets 2

    Aria's pov; "Hmm," I tried to moan but the sound only got buried in my throat since my mouth was now filled up with what made heat in my belly pool and my mouth water. "That's right. Suck it like you'd do to a candy. Show me how much you missed me," Ronald said in a grunt but the firmness and authority in his voice couldn't be mistaken. He hadn't asked for an opinion and neither had he asked for an excuse to be given. Shamelessly, I wasn't about to give an excuse or a complaint, all too eager to please him and to get the satisfaction I needed so bad. I moved my tongue around half of his length which was stuffed in my mouth, letting it play with his tip and enjoying the sounds of pleasure he was making. "Just like that," with a slight tug of my scattered hair, Ronald grunted. My current position was all too uncomfortable but in the face of a pleasure as this, I didn't mind being in any position. Every thought about any other thing had been thrown out the window and

  • My uncle, My mate   No regrets 1

    Aria's pov; Stepping into the dark room in nothing but a lingerie single handedly picked by Rover had me wanting to hide myself in the ground. Time and time again, I pulled at the strap of the lingerie that gingerly glued to my shoulder but instead, it only gave me the appearance that I was trying to seduce whosoever was seated on the chair at the window side. "Hello?" Either foolishly, or not, I didn't really care but I was more concerned about the identity of the one I was going to 'spend the night with.' Deep down, I knew there was no way in hell I was going to let a stranger get atop me as far as I was concerned. I had only come here to see who he was and pretend to fulfill the end of the deal. These were the two things I used to convince myself. "For someone who displayed so well, you look timid," the stranger's sudden input in a gruff voice felt like something was crawling up my spine. I held back from letting out a scream of shock, only keeping quiet as best

  • My uncle, My mate   Mr.M.A the unknown

    Aria's pov; Rover had gone back to behind the stage and as I began to move my limbs around the pole, pushing my cloth lightly to show off my shoulder, I couldn't help but think about why he suddenly came out to announce that. Looking at Ronald's posture, I felt like there was no way he would have struck that kind of deal with Rover in the first place. Then, why had the latter come to make such terrifying announcement when there hadn't been any prior plan? The more I thought of it, the more it didn't make sense and it was beginning to feel like I was in someone else's game, going according to his plans. The thought of it had me shivering but I didn't get too far into my thoughts because the particularly energetic audience were ready to possibly spend and yell out their lungs. The first tip began with a hundred dollars and the corner of my lips lifted before facing them back. I moved my gaze away from them, only to stare at Ronald but my shock was inevitable upon real

  • My uncle, My mate   The tease

    Aria's pov; 'One. Two. Three...,' I recounted in my head as I moved along the pole. The spotlight on me made me feel more confident and the thought that the audience were all curious about the face beneath the mask only fueled my confidence. I scanned the crowd searching for a certain odd eyes in particular but even after sniffing and scanning the crowd, there was no sight of him. Choosing to focus on what I was doing, I continued to move my body around the body, letting the slow beat of the song guide me. I closed my eyes, ignoring the whistling and cheers from the crowd, only letting the music control my body and letting myself freely. Lost in the sea of the rhythm, I was in my own world, only moving along continually, enjoying everything it brought along- the peace, the calmness and the serenity in my heart, telling me it wasn't so bad to have a moment of peace to myself. "Take it off!" The first yell from the crowd caught me off guard and I missed a step in mov

  • My uncle, My mate   The mask

    Aria's pov;After everything I've experienced since yesterday, tonight was the night I've been anticipating so I could cool off and not think too much about everything. Knowing I was still working in the club that was the enemies turf had a bitter taste in my mouth. It was one thing to be pissed and not willing to talk to the cause of it, then it was another thing to be able to avoid them at all cause- even knowing fully well that you could survive on your own. As I sat before the mirror in the backstage room, I wasn't as nervous as the first time and I would have sworn I was too perfect at this, for someone who had only started two weeks back. "Wow, I can't believe you're the same shy lady I was giving pieces of advice to on her first night," laughed Daisy, a smile on her otherwise pale face. The only reason I was the only one entertaining the whole of the audience was because the other strippers and dancers like me had all come down with a flu due to a misuse of spray. Daisy,

  • My uncle, My mate   The aftermath

    ARIA'S POV; " Please, can we talk later? Do you promise to call me so we can talk? I'm so sorry about yesterday. I didn't know anything about those things that happened," another string of Damien's apology filtered into my ears for the tenth time that morning. Sleep had been so far from me throughout the night and sharing a room with my mother hadn't been pleasant due to her insistence on trying to get me to talk to her. At times like this, I wondered if she was being inconsiderate and not even giving me time to think about the shocking information I had only gotten to know about yesterday. As I made my way out of Damien's mansion with my luggage in tow, and only one place in mind for me to head to, I ignored Damien who kept trying to talk to me. Call me petty but knowing his parents had a hand in the misfortune of my father and if worse, his miserable death was all shades of angering. Knowing I'd possibly have no choice but to listen to him sooner or later or have him
