Once More, My Love: I Am Reborn Pretty. Chapter 67
Aria's POVAfter getting ready, I sit on my bed, looking at my phone. Feeling a bit anxious as I wait for Sebastien to text me. I can hardly believe he’s coming to see me. After everything we went through on the island, I’m excited but also a bit nervous.“What should I wear?” I ask myself, standing up and pacing around my room. I glance at the mirror and decide on a simple T-shirt and my favorite jeans. “This is casual. Just like friends.” Maira was right, the Rogue gift did suit me. I take a deep breath and check my phone again. Still no message. I glance at the clock. It’s almost 6:00 PM. He said he’d text me when he got closer. I want it to happen soon.Finally, my phone buzzes, and I grab it quickly. It’s a text from Sebastien.[Hey Aria! Let’s meet at the coffee shop close to this park. See you soon!]He sent the location and realized that it was the same shop that Gavin and I met, But I push those thoughts aside. “It’s just a coffee shop and plain coincidence,” I tell myself.

Emily’s POVI glance at the clock on the wall, noticing it's been a while since I saw Maira. Life has been busy, and I miss her. We haven't had a proper date in ages. I pull out my phone, my fingers ready to type.“Hey, Maira! It’s me,” I say when she picks up after two rings. “I was thinking… it’s about time we go out on a date. Just the two of us.”Her voice lights up through the phone. “Emily! That sounds amazing! We barely have time these days.”“Yeah! So, how about dinner tonight?” I suggest, feeling excited. “I can book a place we will both like?”“Perfect! I can't wait!” She sounds so happy, and it makes me feel relieved. She wasn't worried we were busy “Where are we going?”I smile to myself, thinking. “How about that Italian place on Maple Street? They have the best pasta.”“Yum! Yes! I’m in!” she replies, and I can practically hear her smile. “What time should I meet you?”“Let’s say 7:00 PM? I’ll make the reservation now,” I say, feeling a rush of joy. “I’ll pick you up ar

Emily’s POVI sip my coffee, enjoying the cozy feeling in Maira’s apartment. “This brew is really good! You have to teach me how to make it,”“Of course! I’ll share all my secrets but for a price! ” Maira replies with a warm smile. She takes a sip and sighs contentedly.“Name it!”“Well–”Just then, a knock sounds at the door. “I wonder who that could be?” Maira says, furrowing her brow.“Maybe it’s a delivery?” I reply, curious as she walks to the door. When she opens it, I see a delivery person with a box. “Package for Maira. Can you sign here?” they say, holding out a clipboard.“Um, okay?” Maira replies and signs, taking the box from them. As she closes the door, I notice the name written on top.“Wait, is that Aria’s name?” I ask, my heart racing. “Why is it addressed to her?”“I don’t know,” Maira says, looking puzzled. We both stare at the box, a sense of unease washing over us. “Should we open it?” I ask, feeling a little nervous.“Yeah, let’s see what this is,” Maira says,

Aria’s POV I sit on a park bench with Sebastian, enjoying the gentle breeze. The sun is setting, casting warm colors across the sky. “I can’t believe how beautiful it is tonight,” I say, smiling at him. “Yeah, it’s perfect,” he replies, his eyes sparkling. “I’m really glad we came here.” And I couldn't deny it, I was having a lovely time too. This reunion of sorts was a nice idea. “Me too!” I say, feeling happy. A couple of kids run by, laughing and playing, and I can’t help but chuckle at their energy. Sebastian leans closer. “So, what should we do next? More food or just enjoy the view?” “Maybe we can find some ice cream?” I suggest, feeling excited at the thought. “I always want ice cream!” “Sounds like a plan! Let’s make that happen,” he says, grinning widely. Just then, my phone buzzes in my pocket. I pull it out, and I see a message from Maira. It says, “Hope you’re enjoying your evening. Please be careful. Love you.” A wave of unease washes over me. Maira doesn’

The Fixer’s POVI watch Aria as she faints, the way her body goes limp in an instant. It's amusing, really. Fear does that to people. They think they can handle it, but when it confronts them head-on, they crumble. She will learn. I walk closer, inspecting her face as she lies there, breathing heavily and unaware of her surroundings.“I’ll be waiting, Aria,” I whisper, the shadows flickering around us. “You have much to remember, and time is running out faster than you can think.”Maira’s POVI rush into the police station, my heart racing. What is happening? I need answers. I push past the officer at the front desk. “Where’s the Chief ?”He looks up with a surprised expression. “Ma’am! You can’t just—”“I need to speak to someone who knows about Aria,” I interrupt, desperation spilling from my voice.“Aria?” The officer’s brow furrows. “Are you family?”“I’m her friend,” I reply breathlessly. “What is going on?”Just then, Chief Markson approaches, he was one of the officers who was

Aria’s POV I wake up again. The room is still dim, but this time I’m not alone. The Fixer is sitting right in front of me, his figure cloaked in shadows. My heart races, fear clawing at my throat. “Ah, you’re awake,” he says, his voice smooth and calm. I scream, pushing myself against the wall, desperate to get away. “Please! Just leave me alone!” He doesn’t flinch; he just watches me with those cold eyes behind the mask. “You’re not going to get away that easily, Aria.” “Why are you doing this to me?” I ask, trembling. “I don’t remember anything! You have the wrong person!” He leans closer, and I can feel the weight of his gaze. “You truly don’t recall? Let me remind you.” Then he lists off my details as if reading from a script. “Aria Everette, model and Rogue favorite. Daughter of the wealthy Everette couple. Sister to Susan. And married to Caleb.” I blink in shock. How does he know all this? “What does that have to do with anything?” I stammer. He continues, unfazed.

Emily’s POVI sit in the police station, the atmosphere heavy with tension. Maira is beside me, fidgeting in her seat. Chief Markson stands across from us, typing on his computer. “Okay, let’s see what we can find on Sebastien,” he says, looking serious.“Please, hurry,” Maira pleads. “He has to know something about Aria. He was with her last.”Markson nods and clicks a few buttons. The screen shows a spinning circle. “Just a moment,” he says. After what feels like forever, he turns to us. “I’m running a background check now.”“Great,” I say, trying to sound hopeful. “He has to be in the system.”The atmosphere grows more tense as the seconds pass. Finally, the screen pops up with a few results. “Okay, here’s the file,” Markson says. He looks closely, but his expression shifts from hope to confusion. “Wait... this can’t be right.”“What is it?” Maira asks urgently.“There’s nothing. No records of this guy at all. It’s like he doesn’t exist,” Markson replies, shaking his head.“What d

Aria's POVI hear the voices but they seem far away so I drift closer.“Please, it’s not what you think,” one voice pleads. It sounds like my mother.“Enough!” another voice barks. It’s deep and authoritative. “We need to stick to the plan. It’s the only way.”I feel confused and scared as I watch shadows move along the walls, blending into one another. I try to reach out, but my feet feel frozen to the ground.“They can’t keep her forever,” says another voice, almost a whisper. “She’s not ours. It was part of the deal. We must stick to our end. It was not meant to be this way.”My heart races. What deal? What are they talking about?The whispers grow louder, more intense. “Once she is old enough, we can let her go,” a voice finally says, and my stomach drops. “We only have to take care of her until then.”I scream, a sound caught in my throat. “No! This can’t be true!”Suddenly, the room spins, and I see flashes of a contract, names scrawled out, my name, and that of my parents. A de

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.
