Aria’s POVAfter weeks of looking, I finally found it—a gorgeous penthouse apartment with big windows and a view of the city. As soon as I walked in, I knew it was perfect. Sunlight filled the open living area, and my heart raced with excitement as I imagined how I would decorate it.“Aria, this place is amazing!” Maira exclaimed as she walked in behind me. She spun around, taking in the high ceilings and bright space. “You really scored!”“I can’t believe it’s mine,” I said, still in awe. “It doesn’t feel real.”We immediately started planning for a girls’ night, eager to make the space feel like home. I wanted fun snacks, drinks, and games to break the ice.“First up, we need to go shopping!” I announced with a big smile.Maira beamed. “Let’s do it! What do you need?”“Snacks, drinks, decorations, all of it!” I said, pulling out my phone to write a list. “And definitely some fun games.”With our list ready, we raced to the store. The aisles were filled with colorful party supplies,
Aria’s POVThe evening has finally arrived, and I can barely contain my excitement. I turn my penthouse into a cozy and inviting space, with fairy lights hanging from the walls and colorful blankets tossed around the floor. The smell of popcorn and sweet snacks fills the air, and I have a playlist of upbeat songs playing softly in the background, setting the perfect mood.The first knock comes just as I finish setting up. “I’ve got it!” I call out, rushing toward the door, my heart racing.When I open it, Emily stands there, her smile bright and a bottle of wine in her hand. “Surprise! I brought my favorite red!” she says with enthusiasm.“Perfect!” I say, my smile wide. “Come in! You’re just in time for the fun.”Emily steps inside, her eyes going wide as she takes in the space. “Wow, Aria! This place is amazing! So bright and welcoming!”“Thanks! I’m really excited for tonight,” I reply as I take the bottle from her. “Maira’s helping me set up everything. We’ve got snacks, drinks,
Aria’s POVI step out of my apartment, feeling the cool morning air on my skin. Today is the Rogue photoshoot, and excitement buzzes inside me. I put my phone in my pocket and started walking to the subway station. The city wakes up around me—cars honk, street vendors set up their stalls, and I hear laughter that makes me smile. I was on my own today as Maira had to meet with prospective clients about some other jobs but I could figure it out.I quickly board the train and halfway there, my phone buzzes. I pull it out and see Caleb’s name. I frown, glancing at the screen. “Not now,” I mutter, dismissing the call and putting the phone back. I don’t want to deal with him today of all days.When I arrive at the studio, it’s buzzing with activity. Photographers rush around, light meters in hand, while stylists fluff hair and adjust outfits on smiling models. The energy is electric. I take a deep breath, feeling my heart race with excitement.“Aria, over here!” my stylist calls, waving me
Maria’s POVI walk up to Aria’s apartment, my heart filled with excitement. I can't wait to share my good news. I got the promotion and the deal we had been working hard for. I imagine her smile, and the bright happiness in her eyes when she hears it.I knock on her door, but there’s no answer. “Aria! It’s Maira!” I call out, a bit louder this time. Something doesn’t feel right. Usually, she would at least respond or open the door.I push the door open and step inside. The apartment is dark. The curtains are pulled tight, blocking out sunlight. “Aria?” I call again, but only silence answers. My stomach twists with worry.As I move through the living room, my heart drops. I see her lying at the bottom of the stairs. “No!” I scream, rushing to her side. Panic fills me. Blood is everywhere, and her face is pale and lifeless. “What happened?”I drop to my knees beside her, checking for a pulse. My hands tremble as I feel for any sign of life. “Aria, please!” I plead. I can’t lose her. I g
Emily stood abruptly in the middle of the board meeting, the CEO’s voice fading as her mind raced with worry. “I’m sorry, but I have to go,” she announced, cutting him off. The room fell silent, eyes wide in surprise.“Emily, you can’t just leave!” the CEO protested.“I can and will. It’s urgent,” she replied, her heart pounding. She grabbed her bag and rushed out, her heels clicking against the floor as she made her way to the car.As she drove to the hospital, thoughts of Aria filled her mind. “Please, let her be okay,” she whispered to herself. When she arrived, she hurried through the entrance, anxiety trembling in her stomach.“Where’s Aria?” she asked the receptionist, breathless.“Room 204,” the woman replied, pointing down the hall.Emily sprinted toward the room and burst through the door. Inside, Maira and Chloe sat together, tears soaking their cheeks.“Maira!” Emily cried, rushing over. “What happened?”“Maira, please tell her everything,” Chloe urged, her voice shaking.“
Emily’s POVI grip the steering wheel tightly as I drive back to the hospital, the memory of Caleb’s lying face burned into my mind.“I'll kill him,” I mutter to myself as I pull into the hospital parking lot, I hardly notice the familiar buildings around me. My thoughts are laser-focused on the task ahead. I slam the car door shut behind me and stride inside, my heels echoing against the tiled floor. I need to make things right. Aria deserves the best care, and I won’t settle for anything less.“Excuse me,” I call out to the receptionist at the front desk, my voice firm. She looks up, startled by the intensity of my gaze.“Yes, how can I help you?” she asks, her expression shifting from surprise to concern.“I need to speak with the head of the hospital about transferring Aria to the VIP suite,” I demand, not bothering to soften my tone.“Uh, the VIP suite?” She blinks at me, clearly unsure. “May I ask why? She’s already receiving—”“Because she’s not getting the absolute best care s

Outside however was covered with snow. I look at the time with a little smile on my face as I remember today to be me and Caleb’s Second wedding anniversary. My eyes scan at the decorations around the house and breathe a heavy sigh. The balloons were already up in the air glued to the ceiling. The candlelight set in a love form, around the cake I baked. The cake however was placed on a table in the middle of the room. To make the whole preparations, It took me the whole day to make this surprise for Caleb.

Aria’s POV His hands slap me hard on the face and after, he wanted to slam his fist on my cheek but somehow he miss and it landed on the wall behind me, making him whimper in pain and withdraw back. “Ash!” He curse at me. “See what you’ve done.” I remain on the wall, my eyes on him as I couldn’t believe he would raise his hands at me. Since we married, he had always been nice to me, and never have he once acted hostile toward me. But, now. He wanted to punch me in the face. “Babe, are you alright?” Susan calls his name, rushing to touch his fist. She look at his hand and started to blow her air on it. “You bitch!
