One Night One Chance Chapter 17: It's Just Part Of The Show
Ariana’s POV Sitting in the car, I couldn't stop shaking. The humiliation from earlier clung to me like a second skin, each cruel word echoing in my head. My fingers trembled slightly as I clenched my dress. How much more did Daniel want to take from me? I gave him five years of my life—five years of love, loyalty, and devotion. And this? This was what I got in return? A soft sigh left my lips, and my gaze flickered toward Damien. He was staring at me, his expression unreadable, but there was something in his eyes that made my chest tighten. Did he really just defend me back there? Was this the same man who had been nothing but cold and distant toward me? It was almost hard to believe. Before I could dwell on it further, Julie burst into the car, her face red with fury. "Oh my God, Ari! Did that bastard and his bitch really do this to you?" she demanded, her voice shaking. "What else does he want? You gave him everything—you even gave him your body! And this is how he repays you?"

Ariana's Pov The events of yesterday still lingered in my mind as I made my way down the stairs. I had woken up feeling drained, surprised that it was already 8 AM and that Martha hadn’t come to wake me. How sweet of her. She must have known how exhausted I was.Dressed in a pair of shorts and a crop top—something comfortable for the day—I walked toward the kitchen, only to find it empty.Where did she go? I wondered, glancing around.I was about to head toward her room when a deep voice behind me made me pause."She asked for a leave. She won’t be back until next month."I turned around and saw Damien standing near the window, watering the flowers. The sight of him made my breath hitch. The memory of yesterday's kiss flashed through my mind, making me uneasy. Even though I knew it was just for show, the urge to ask why he had done it gnawed at me. There were plenty of ways to convince the media without actually kissing me.As he walked toward me, I couldn't suppress the question any

Ariana’s POVI followed Charles into his office, my eyes widening slightly as I took in the sophisticated space. So, he’s the CEO of the company? Wow. He looks so young for such a powerful position.“Please, have a seat, Miss Ariana,” Charles said, flashing me a friendly smile as he gestured toward the chair opposite his desk.“Oh, thank you.” I settled into the chair, shifting slightly to make myself comfortable.“Would you like something to drink? Coffee, juice, wine?”I shook my head. “No, I’m good, thanks.”“You sure?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.“Yes, of course. But I appreciate it.”Charles leaned back, clasping his hands together. “So, I happened to stumble upon one of your designs on your website, and all I could say was—‘fantastic.’” He smiled. “The design is truly unique, and I’m glad you agreed to sell it to us. What I’ll need you to do now is sign this contract, input your account details, and add your signature.” He pulled out a file and placed it in front of me.I took

Ariana’s POVThe moment Julie walked in, I spotted her right away and waved. She made her way toward me, her expression playful as always.“You’re thirty minutes late, girl,” I said, pretending to be mad.“C’mon, Ari, I’m sorry! I just decided to grab some groceries on the way,” she replied, pouting cutely.I rolled my eyes, unable to stay fake-mad at her. “Just sit already,” I said, motioning to the chair across from me. “So, what do you think we should order? They’ve got this funny-looking pork dish,” I said, flipping through the menu and pointing at the image. “And there’s also noodles, tofu, fried rice…” I paused and glanced at her for a second.Julie bit her lip—again.“Okay, I know that look,” I said, narrowing my eyes. “Who’s the guy?”“Ari!!” Julie shrieked, then burst into laughter.I smirked. “C’mon, spill the tea already. You’ve bitten your lips more than ten times since you got here. I bet they’re bleeding by now,” I teased, leaning in to take a closer look at her lips.“S

Ariana's POV"H...hi," I said hesitantly, my voice coming out softer than I intended.Damien stood near the entrance of the villa, his gaze locked onto mine. There was something in his eyes—anger, maybe—but I couldn't quite tell. His face was impassive, yet his sharp blue eyes held a fire I wasn’t sure I had ever seen before.I was about to brush past him and head inside when his voice stopped me."You're late. It's almost 8:30 PM," he said, slipping one hand into his pocket while the other flicked at his watch.I scoffed. "Last time I checked, there wasn’t a rule saying I couldn't come home whenever I wanted. And you need to learn how to mind your own business ." My tone was laced with defiance as I stepped forward, intent on walking past him.But before I could take another step, I felt his hands on my waist. My breath hitched as he pushed me gently—yet firmly—against the wall.My heart pounded."Do you really think so?" he asked, his voice a low whisper, the warmth of his breath br

Ariana’s POVI had just finished my bath and walked downstairs. As I stepped into the living room, I glanced around, expecting to see Damien, maybe reading his journal or watering the flowers like he usually did. But he wasn’t there. The house felt empty, and I wondered where he could be.I moved toward the flowers by the window, the ones Damien always took care of. Bending down, I inhaled their fresh scent, a small smile forming on my lips. I could almost picture him standing here, watering them with that serious look on his face.Realizing what I was doing, I quickly straightened up and shook my head. What am I even thinking?I walked to the dining area, my eyes landing on the empty table. A sigh escaped my lips."God, I really miss you, Martha," I muttered. If she were here, she would’ve made breakfast by now.My phone beeped in my pocket. I pulled it out and checked the screen.An alert from yesterday's design sale.My eyes widened, and excitement bubbled up inside me. I jumped up

I was at the back of a moving van.I forced myself up and crawled toward the door in the darkness, trying to open it.

Ariana's POVI opened my eyes, disoriented. Where was I? My head pounded as I tried to move, only to realize I was tied to a chair. Panic surged through me as I glanced around the dimly lit space—an abandoned factory. I struggled against the ropes, but they wouldn’t budge.Then, a voice cut through the silence."Stop struggling, Ariana. Don’t make things harder for yourself, darling," the voice taunted, stepping closer.I froze. My breath hitched as my eyes met his. My father. The sight of him sent a wave of anger and fear crashing over me."What do you want from me? Why are you doing this?" I demanded, my voice shaking with both fury and desperation."Oh, Ariana, darling, are you crying?" He smirked, taking slow, deliberate steps toward me. He leaned in, brushing a strand of my hair behind my ear."Don’t cry. This won’t take long," he murmured, lifting my chin with his hand."Let go of me!" I spat, sinking my teeth into his skin.He recoiled, hissing in pain. Then, with a flash of an

Will you stop being stubborn and get yourself treated? Please, we'll figure the rest out later I promise." she pleaded, her voice shaking."No! I'm not going anywhere," I cried, my body trembling. Tears streamed down my face as guilt crashed over me. "This is all my fault. I'm so stupid, so stupid!" I hit myself, frustration and despair mixing into one overwhelming emotion."No, Ari! This is not your fault. Stop hitting yourself, please," Julie rushed forward, grabbing my wrists to stop me."I put him in danger," I sobbed. "It's my fault!" My chest ached as the words left my mouth. "I have to go in. I need to know if Damien will be okay!" I tried to push past her, desperate to reach the surgery waiting room."Ariana, no! Come back!

I pressed my trembling fingers against the wound in his stomach, trying to stop the bleeding, but the warm liquid kept seeping through my fingers.“Ari… run… just… leave me… here… go……” His voice was weak, barely above a whisper.“No, Damien! I won’t leave you… I won’t… I won’t let you die here alone! hey look at me!" My hands cradled his face, forcing him to look at me. “You hear me? We’re leaving together. I’m not leaving you behind.”His breathing was shallow, and his face was growing pale. “Ari… please… go… just run…”“Damien, stop! Stay with me, please… please stay with me.” My voice cracked as the tears finally fell. I looked up and saw my father’s men closing in on us, their footsteps growing l
