Once More, My Love: I Am Reborn Pretty. Chapter 59
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. Maira and I were a great team, and she knew all the right ways to keep my spirits high.“Remember to be yourself! You’re amazing just the way y

Aria’s POVI sink into the soft couch in my living room, letting out a long sigh. I just finished a long day of planning different photoshoots with Maira and she finally went home. Now, I have a moment to relax. I sure as hell deserved it cause it had been quite a minute since the whole coma thing. “Ah, home sweet home,” I say to myself with a small smile. Stretching my legs, I feel the comfy pillow pulling me to sleep… Again. “At this rate, I'll think a tsetse fly bit me. I've been sleeping like crazy. Wallowing in my thoughts in the silence, my mind begins to wander back to my dreams—those strange dreams I had while in a coma back at the hospital. I had called the doctor and he called them, “random flashes of a dying brain.” but I knew it was anything but that. “What are those dreams about?” I murmured, closing my eyes for a moment. I try to shake off the memories. They flash through my mind like images of me lying in a hospital bed, with faces flickering in and out of focus.

Aria’s POVWell, that was surprising. I had no idea he was going to actually want to meet up. “That settles it then!” Maira smiled and I quickly waved her off. I wonder what Gavin was going to say this time. ***Caleb's POVI lean back on the couch, looking over at Susan. She sits across from me, her smile bright and inviting. We just finished a movie, and in the afternoon thoughts of Aria kept coming to mind but I pushed them far away. That man has to deal with Aria now. Not me and I'm not the one who made a damaging deal. “Hey, wanna watch another one? I think I have one in mind that you’ll like,” Susan says, leaning closer.“Sure! As long as it has some action in it. I can’t do another sappy romance right now,” I reply, chuckling.Susan laughs, flipping her hair over her shoulder. “You don’t like romance? That’s shocking!”“Not all the time! Sometimes it’s just too much,” I say teasingly.Before Susan can respond, I hear the front door open. My heart sinks a little. I glance to

Caleb’s POVI sit at the table, staring at the food in front of me but hardly tasting it. Everyone seems to be engaged in one conversation or the other but that wasn't my problem at the moment.“I’m just not so sure about the plan,” I murmur, trying to voice my unease. “Shush, Caleb! You don’t know what you’re talking about,” Elizabeth, Aria’s mom, snaps at me. She turns her attention back to Susan, who is smiling brightly. I want to respond, to explain how different things feel, but Elizabeth is too busy praising Susan. “You two make such a wonderful couple! It’s nice to see Caleb so happy,” she says, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Did she even care about Aria’s feelings? The thought suddenly occurred but I felt like a hypocrite. How dare I feel remorse? I didn't love Aria. I was forced to. I sulk in my chair, feeling a mix of frustration and guilt. How can they be so blind? They don’t seem to realize the reality of the situation. Susan and I are together, but it feels wrong.
Once More, My Love: I Am Reborn Pretty. Chapter 65
Aria’s Pov I have no idea why I had rushed out of the house to see Gavin about this. Now it seems ridiculous as I sit across from Gavin at my favorite café. We had arranged to meet in the park but this is better, comfortable and I feel a bit more safer. The smell of fresh coffee fills the air. I stir my cup, trying to find the right words. Today, I need answers and a good ol distraction “Hey, Aria,” Gavin says with a relaxed smile. “How have you been?”“I’m okay. Just... thinking about some things. I'm wounded. You didn't even try contacting me in the hospital. So much for caring.” I jab at him and I see an injured expression on his face but say absolutely nothing. “I was actually worried, you know but at the time, I couldn't come close.” “'I'll take your word for it. I look around, then lean in closer. “You knew about Susan and Caleb, right?” Like, before I got pregnant and everything. “Yeah. What about them?” He takes a sip of his coffee, looking curious but having a knowing
Once More, My Love: I Am Reborn Pretty. Chapter 66
Aria's POVI sit on my bed, the room feeling more chaotic than usual. My mind was filled up with thoughts of Caleb, Susan, and now, The Fixer. “Just who the fuck is he?” I whisper to myself and shake my head. This was going to drive me crazy at this point. I grab my phone and scroll through my contacts, but I don’t know who to call. I can’t ask Gavin. He’s already stressed about everything and had a major panic attack when he basically ran out of that restaurant. I shake my head, trying to clear my thoughts. “Why is this happening? It feels like I’m in a movie and I can’t find the script.” Just then, my phone buzzes, breaking my train of thought. An unknown number flashes on the screen. I feel a bubble of anxiety rises in my throat. “Should I answer it?” I hesitate for a moment but answer it anyway. It was probably a random fan“Hello?” I say, trying to keep my voice steady.“Hey, Aria! It’s Sebastien,” comes a smooth voice from the other end.My heart skips a beat. “Sebastien? From

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.“
Once More, My Love: I Am Reborn Pretty. Chapter 120
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. She was lying down crumpled on

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

Aria’s POVI slowly wake up, my head pounding and my mouth dry. The sunlight filters through the curtains, and I squint, trying to remember where I am. 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

Emily's POVThe atmosphere in the apartment is lively as we gather around the coffee table to play "Exploding Kittens." 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
Once More, My Love: I Am Reborn Pretty. Chapter 114
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.
