Once More, My Love: I Am Reborn Pretty. Chapter 49
Susan storms into her empty house, slamming the door behind her. Anger boils inside her. The chaos on social media fills her mind. Threats to cancel her come pouring in."Why can’t they just mind their own business? How is it anyone's fuckin business if I slept with the movie manager or slapped Chloe?! Who the fuck does that brat think she is?!" she mutters, running her fingers through her hair. “Aria and her stupid friends had to mess everything up.”She takes a deep breath, trying to calm down. “I planned everything perfectly. They shouldn’t have leaked my audition. Aria doesn't deserve this! This is my moment!”Fueled by rage, she grabs her keys and heads out. She starts her car and speeds toward the hospital, gripping the steering wheel tight."You think this is fair, Aria? Really? You’re lying in that hospital bed while I’m out here, fighting for my life. You get all the sympathy, all the attention. What about me? I’ve worked harder than anyone!Did you even think about how this

Emily’s POVI think the hospital is supposed to be a place of peace, a sanctuary where we can stay around Aria and support her in this fight for her life. But that idea falls apart all too quickly. Within hours of Susan’s arrest, news crews swarm the entrance like a pack of vultures. I peek out from Aria’s hospital room, my heart a mix of anger and anxiety as I see bright lights and cameras flashing, the press eager to catch any glimpse of the situation.“They’re everywhere,” Maira says, pushing her hair back with trembling hands. “What are they hoping to see? Aria’s condition? As if they care. They want to make a huge press out of this. Argh, those bastards!”“I don’t know,” I reply, my gaze fixed on the chaos outside. “But it feels like they’re just waiting for something to happen. It’s disgusting.”Chloe flips through her phone furiously, her brow knitted. “Look at all this. People are posting about Susan and Aria everywhere. It’s a trending topic.”“Of course it is,” Maira mutters

Caleb’s POVI wake up feeling a bit off. The room is dim and quiet, Susan and I had the most amazing sex so far.“Not something I get to enjoy every day” I mumble to myself but something feels off. I pick up my phone, open it and that's when I see the news. My heart races when I read, “Aria in Coma Following Unknown Accident .” Panic grabs me like a vice.All thoughts of Susan and what we just had fly out of my mind“ Oh my God,” I say, jumping out of bed. “What happened to you, Aria?”I don’t think about anything. I throw on a T-shirt and pants, almost tearing my shoes as I lace them. My mind is racing. I have to go to the hospital.I rush down the stairs, my feet pounding. I burst through the front door into the cool night air. I feel my heart pounding loud and fast.The drive to the hospital feels like forever. Everything around me blurs. *Please be okay, please be okay.* All I can think about is Aria.---At last, I reach the hospital. My heart sinks. Reporters crowd the entrance.

Caleb’s POVI sit in the hallway, filled with dread and worry. My mind spins as I think about Aria and all that has happened. I hear footsteps.A nurse walks up to me, her face serious. “You can see her now,” she says. “But be quick. She needs rest.”My heart races. “Thank you!” I say, jumping up. I hurry down the hallway.As I reach Aria’s room, I take a deep breath. I push the door open slowly. The sight inside hits me hard. Aria lies there, pale and still, with machines beeping around her. I take a step in, but then I feel someone rush past me.“Get away from her!” It’s Emily. She runs right at me, anger in her eyes. She shoves me hard, and I stumble back.“What the hell?” I shout, shocked. “What are—”Before I can finish, I feel a sharp pain in my groin. Maira kicked me hard right where it hurts the most. I cry out and drop to the floor, agony flooding my body.“You deserve this!” Emily screams, and I look up to see her furious face. “You’re a bastard!”Maira stands beside Emily,

Caleb’s POVAs I step closer to Aria's bed, my heart is heavy with worry. Machines beep quietly around her, and I feel a rush of anger. Why the fuck did she have to do this now? Day in and day out, she was straying far and far off the deal. I take her hand in mine, feeling the warmth that reminds me of how she used to hold my hand tightly. Nowadays, she wouldn't even pretend to hide her disgust.“I’m here, Aria,” I say softly, putting on the act of the caring husband. “I’ve been worried sick about you. You need to wake up, okay?”I lean in closer, whispering so only she can hear me. “If you don’t wake up soon, weakling, they’ll come for you. I know you can hear me, bitch. Wake the fuck up!”I pull back quickly, checking for any sign of movement. I see her eyes still closed, her face pale. I feel a mix of hope and frustration; she needs to snap out of it or she is going to get herself killed.Suddenly, I hear footsteps approaching. I turn to see Emily’s furious face. “What the hell a

“Hello?!” I call out but no one seems to hear me. Where was Emily or Maira?!“Hello! Why is the place so damn dark?!”I curse in darkness, stuck in a place where time does not seem to exist. It feels like I’m trapped in a fog. My mind drifts through blurry memories, some clearer than others, but they all feel very real. Some memories make me feel happy, and some make me feel scared.Suddenly, a figure steps out of the fog. It’s a man with a sharp face and a sly smile. I don't recognize him well, but he feels important. I know he is “the fixer.”“Are you ready to make a deal?” he asks. His voice is smooth and sweet, but it gives me chills.“What kind of deal?” I ask, trying to keep my voice steady. My heart races.He leans closer, eyes shining like a predator. He was going to eat me alive mad I knew it. “The kind that can change everything for you. Think about it. You want power and safety. You want to keep yourself safe.”“What’s the price?” My throat feels tight. I’m scared but curio

Aria’s POVI sit in the hospital bed, staring at the walls. I’ve been awake for a while now, but everything feels blurry. The doctors say I’m fine, but I can’t shake this weight in my chest. They say I can go home today, but I’m not sure I want to.“Aria, you’re free to go!” Dr. Smith says, checking my charts. He smiles, but I can’t smile back.“Okay,” I mumble, feeling like a shadow.He leans in closer. “Just remember, take it easy for a few days. You’re not fully recovered yet.”I nod, but his words don’t seem to sink in. I feel like I’m floating.Just then, Emily and Maira burst into the room. “You’re leaving! This is great!” Emily says, her voice full of cheer.“Yeah,” I reply softly, trying to show some excitement, but it’s hard.“You have to be careful, okay?” Maira adds, her brow furrowing. “We don’t want you getting hurt again.”“I will,” I say, feeling annoyed. “I promise.”Emily puts her hands on her hips. “No, listen, Aria. We mean it. You can’t push yourself. We went throu

Aria’s POVA week passes, and I feel like I’m stuck in the same place. The days blend together. I spend my time working and trying to avoid the feelings that keep creeping back.Today feels different, though. I wake up early, and for the first time, I decide to do something. I grab my phone and dial Maira’s number.“Hey, Aria!” Maira answers cheerfully. “How are you?”“Hi, Maira. I’m… I’m okay, I guess.” I hesitate. “I’ve been thinking about Rogue.”“Oh? What about them?” Maira sounds curious.“We need to sign the deal. I want to do it as soon as possible,” I say, surprising myself with my own words. “Can you handle that?”“Wow, that’s great!” Maira exclaims. “You really want to jump back in?”“Yes,” I say firmly, feeling a spark of hope. “I think it’s time. I don’t want to be stuck at home anymore.”Maira pauses for a moment. “Okay, let’s get this done. I’ll come over and help sort everything out. We can call Rogue today!”“Perfect,” I say, feeling a new sense of excitement. “See you

The sight sends a jolt of fear through me.“Aria!” I call out, moving quickly to her side. As soon as she sees me, her expression softens, and she visibly calms Down. What was she so frantic about?“Sebastien…” she breathes, her voice shaky. “Are you okay?”I kneel beside her bed, looking into her eyes. “I’m completely fine. Just worried about you.”Relief crosses her face, but then it crumples as tears start to spill from her eyes. “I thought… I thought Caleb was going to kill you next!” she sobs, her hands gripping the sheets.Anger rises in my chest as I hear her words. I reach out, carefully wrapping my arms around her. “Shh, it’s okay, Aria. You’re safe now. I’m here. You’ll be okay.”Her crying intensifies as she nestles into me, and I hold her tightly, wanting to comfort her as best as I can.

Vera’s POVI drive with purpose, focusing on the road ahead. The sun sets in the distance, casting long shadows across the highway. In the back seat, Susan, Michael, and Elizabeth sit, their expressions a mix of confusion and fear. I can feel their eyes on me, wondering what’s going to happen next. Just what had those three idiots done to piss off the boss?“Where are we going?” Michael finally asks, breaking the tension in the car.“It’s just a little place outside the city,” I reply, keeping my tone light. “Sebastien wanted me to take you somewhere safe.”Elizabeth glances at me. “Safe from who? And this car is so small and dimly lit. Also, could you turn down your music? It's very annoying.” Tch. Whiny bitch.I chuckle softly. “You’ll find out soon enough.”As we drive further out of the city, I spot an abandoned area up ahead. “Perfect,” I think to myself. I turn onto a side road, and soon, I stop the car in a deserted lot surrounded by overgrown grass and dilapidated buildings.“

I know he's back home, and now it's time to confront him. The police might not want to act, but I won't wait for them. The bastard had to pay for what he did.After a few minutes, I take a deep breath and step out of the car. I walk up the driveway, my heart pounding with each step. The door stands slightly ajar, and I push it open. The house is dimly lit, and I can smell something foul in the air."Caleb!" I call out, my voice echoing through the empty rooms.I hear movement in the back, and I quickly make my way toward the sound. As I round a corner, I see him -Caleb leaning against the wall, a lazy grin spreading across his face."Well, look who finally decided to drop by!" he says mockingly."Cut the crap, Caleb. I know you ordered the hit on Aria," I say, my voice deadly calm.His expression shifts

Aria’s POVAfter lunch with the girls, I quickly board a cab back home.“Well, more like Sebastien's place,” I murmur to myself.Soon enough, I get there and I get out of the car.As I walk towards the door, I remind myself to stay aware of my surroundings. The mansion’s surroundings are so quiet. Sebastien said something about having ghost staff. In other words, they were barely seen. There wasn't a soul in sight.But just as I reach the door, I notice something strange. A red light shone across my stomach. I freeze, my heart racing. What is that?I open my mouth to call out, “Sebastien?” But before I can say anything, there’s a loud crack. A sharp pain jolts close to my heart, and everything goes black.---Sebastien’s POVThe alarms blare, cutting through the calm of the afternoon.

Are you okay?" he asks, his voice tight with concern."I'm fine, but I need to let you know I won't be available for the rest of the day. I have some things to handle.""Things? What kind of things?" His tone sharpens, and I can hear the protective edge in it."I'm with Emily and Maira. We're just... sorting stuff out," I reply, trying to keep it casual."Sorting stuff out?" he presses. "What kind of sorting?""Mmmm, I can't talk about it right now," I say, feeling a rush of guilt."Where exactly are you?" he asks, his voice lowering as if he knows I'm not being entirely honest."Just at my friends' place," I say, hesitantly.Before I can respond, Emily reaches over and snatches the phone from me. "Sebastien!" she says into the receiver, her tone firm. "Listen, buzz off for now. Aria needs a br

As my surroundings come into focus, I notice I'm in my room.Thank goodness I made it to bed last night. I sit up and suddenly recall everything I said while I was drunk. My heart races in panic. Did I mention Caleb? I felt so vulnerable, and now the memory stings.I throw off the blanket and rush to the living room. I need to talk to Emily and Maira. As I enter the room, my heart sinks. They are still asleep, curled up together on the couch. Emily's head rests on Maira's shoulder, and they look peaceful.Guilt washes over me. They shouldn't have had to drink with me. I feel like such a burden. Maybe I should sneak out before I wake them.I step quietly toward the door, but then Maira's voice breaks the silence. "Where are you going?"I freeze in my tracks. "Uh, just... out for some air?" I say awkwardly, trying to sound casual."Stop

The brownies and cookies are laid out, and Maira fills some glasses with wine."Alright, let's get this party started!" Maira says, pouring generous amounts for all of us."I'm ready to crush you both!" I declare, feeling the excitement in the air. Maira glares at me but Aria laughs, picking up her hand of cards. "You think you can beat me? I've been practicing! Ever since the last game! No friggin 'way I'm losing."Maira shakes her head. "Practice doesn't make perfect in this game; luck does!"“Tch. Amateur. That's what you'll say but you'll see baby girl. I'm set out to win!”The game begins. We all giggle and shout as we take turns. I can't help but tease Maira each time she draws an exploding kitten card."Ha! You're out!" I tease, laughing."Shush!

Emily's POVI sit at my desk, surrounded by piles of files that seem to multiply every hour. Maira buzzes around me, checking in every few minutes. She keeps the coffee coming, which helps me stay focused on my work.“I really shouldn't have gotten so worked up about Aria and abandoned my job! I could have friggin done both!”“You couldn't and Emily, have you made any progress on those reports?” Maira asks, peering over my shoulder.“Getting there! I’m just figuring out how to present this data.” I scroll through the screen, feeling the pressure of the deadline looming.Suddenly, there’s a loud knock on the door. I look up, surprised.“Who could that be?” I say, glancing at Maira.“Let me see!” Maira rushes to the door, her excitement bubbling over. I hear her gasp.“Emily! Come quick! You won’t believe who’s here!”My heart skips a beat. Who could it be? I rush down the hall and stop short when I see her.“Aria!” I exclaim, throwing my arms around her.“Emily!” she cries, hugging me

Caleb’s POVI'm sitting here in this stupid prison, and the anger is boiling inside me. Aria divorced me—and just tossed me aside like I’m nothing. I can’t believe I thought she loved me. I always knew she was trouble. The moment she started associating with that crazy fixer, it was clear she was a trashy woman. I feel like such a fool. How dare she leave me?!I pace in my cell, fists clenched, imagining what I would say if I ever got out. “How could she do this to me?” I mumble to myself. It infuriates me! I thought we had something special. We had plans for the future—until she decided I was worthless.I pound my fist against the wall, feeling the sting but not caring. “I’ll make her pay,” I vow, my voice low and full of anger. “She thinks she’s so smart, but she doesn’t know who she is messing with. I’ll make sure she pays for this.”Suddenly, an officer walks by, eyeing me warily. “Quiet down, Caleb. You’re not allowed to cause trouble in here.”“I’m not causing trouble!” I snap.
