Once More, My Love: I Am Reborn Pretty. Chapter 54
“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

Aria’s POVThe next morning, sunlight streams through the curtains, warming my skin. I wake up feeling refreshed, my heart a little lighter after last night’s dinner with Maira. I remember my promise to myself and Maira because she had been on my neck. Today is the day I connect with my fans again.After a quick breakfast, I set up my phone for a live stream. My hands shake slightly as I check the camera angle, but excitement bubbles within me. I can’t wait to share my thoughts and feelings with everyone who has supported me through this tough time.“Okay, let’s do this,” I whisper to myself, hitting the ‘go live’ button. The screen lights up, and I see the number of viewers ticking upward.“Hi, everyone!” I say, smiling nervously. “I’m so happy to be alive again!”The comments flood in almost instantly. “We missed you, Aria!” “So glad to see you!” and “You’re amazing!” make my heart swell with gratitude.“Thank you all for your love and support over the past few weeks,” I continue,

Aria’s POV“Your girl?! Hey, Maira,” I say, leaning closer. “While I was in the hospital, did anything happen between you and Emily? Like… anything official?”Maira’s eyes widen slightly, a smile creeping onto her face. “Um, well… you could say that,” she replies, looking mischievous.“Wait, what do you mean by ‘you could say that’?” I ask, my excitement bubbling over. “Are you two a thing now?”Before Maira can answer, Emily stirs slightly, her eyes still half-closed. “Don’t bother my girlfriend like that,” she mumbles, her voice raspy but playful.Maira and I burst into laughter, and Emily cracked a smile despite her fatigue. “Did I just hear that right?” I ask, still laughing. “You two are officially together?”Emily nods slowly, her eyes finally opening a bit more. “Yep, it’s true,” she confirms with a grin. “Maira and I are officially a couple.”I can hardly contain my joy. “Oh my gosh! This is amazing!” I squeal, bouncing slightly in my seat. “I can’t believe it! When did this h

Aria’s POVThe sun streams through the curtains of my room, casting warm sunlight over the cozy space. I slowly open my eyes and glance at the clock. It’s already past ten in the morning!“Wow, I’m still in bed!” I stretch and feel the warmth of the blankets around me. I sit up, look around, and see that Maira and Emily are still sleeping on the couches in the living room, their hair a tangle of messy curls.I quietly slip out of bed and tiptoe to the kitchen, feeling a slight rumble in my stomach. “What should I make for breakfast?” I wonder aloud to myself.After rummaging through the fridge, I decide to make some pancakes. “That should wake them up!” I grin as I pull out the ingredients.While the pancakes sizzle away on the stove, I hear stirring from the living room. “Mmm, what smells so good?” Maira’s sleepy voice calls out.“Pancakes!” I reply cheerfully while flipping one over.“Count me in!” Maira stretches and heads to the bathroom, looking a bit more awake.Just then, Emily

Aria’s POVAs we step into the venue for the exclusive ball, my heart races. The grand chandelier lights up the room, casting a sparkling glow everywhere. Maira, Emily, and I stand together, our excitement bubbling over."This place is amazing!" Emily says, her eyes wide as she takes in the beauty around us."Look at all the stars!" Maira points toward the famous idols mingling throughout the room. “I can’t believe we’re actually here!”I chuckle nervously. "I know! Just try not to act too starstruck."We find a spot near the snack table and start chatting excitedly. As we’re enjoying the fancy appetizers, I suddenly see her—Chloe. She stands across the room, dressed in a stunning emerald green gown. I swallow hard."Oh no, look who it is," I whisper to my friends. “It’s Chloe.”Maira raises an eyebrow. “You have to act cool, Aria. Remember, you’re rivals now.”“Rivals, yeah,” I agree, though my heart sinks a little at the thought.Just then, Chloe catches my eye. She starts walking o

Aria’s POVAnd with that, the party had come to an end. Emily had to drive back home after the event, and I could see that she was getting ready to leave.“Are you sure you’ll be okay driving home?” Maira asked her, her brows furrowed with concern.“Absolutely! I’ll just blast some music and I’ll be wide awake,” Emily replied, waving her hands as she grabbed her bag.“Alright, but text us when you get home!” I said, leaning in for a quick hug.“You got it! I’ll miss you guys!” she smiled, giving us a wave as she walked out the door.Once Emily was gone, Maira turned to me with an excited grin. “Time to prepare for the Rogue shoot tomorrow! Are you ready for this?”“Totally! I can’t wait to see everyone again,” I said, my excitement bubbling over. “It’s been too long!”We spent the evening picking out outfits and going over poses for the shoot.

Sebastien’s POVI rush into Aria’s room with Chloe, Maira, and Emily following closely behind me. The moment we enter, I see her sitting up in the hospital bed, her eyes wide and frantic. 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.“

Sebastien's POVI sit in my car, gripping the steering wheel tight, the engine humming as I watch Caleb's house from across the street. I had him tracked down when I left the hospital. 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. I jump up from my desk, my heart racing. “What the hell?” I mutter as I sprint toward the door.I fling it open and rush outside. “Aria!” I shout, panic gripping my chest.

Aria’s POVAfter our conversation, I grab my phone and dial Sebastien's number. My hands tremble a bit as I wait for him to pick up."Hey, it's me," I say when he answers."Aria! Where are you? 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! This is just beginner's luck," Maira retorts, rolling her eyes dramatically.Aria leans back, sipping her wine. "

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.
