Sweet Love

“You've been there for me through the best and the worst, shared my happiness and my sadness, you're the person I want to argue with and wake up next to every day of my life. I can go on for hours about how much you mean to me and how much I love you, but I always believed that actions speak louder than words, so I'll knee before you and ask; Will you marry me, will you give me a lifetime to show you how much I love you?” Aria's body was covered in goosebumps, her whole body felt like it had frozen over. She heard every word he uttered like a siren in the night, but her brain wouldn't function. This wasn't supposed to happen. “I can't..." She didn't realise that the words were out of her mouth till she saw his face fall and the crowd gasped. “What do you mean you can't?” Deagan stood up and took a step towards her, but she stepped back before he could touch her. “I- I just can't, I'm sorry.” Tears welled in her eyes and her heart burned with pain, she knew she was hurting him and that made her heart break even more. ### Aria and Deagan face the test of time as two people from opposing social standings trying to navigate a relationship, standing strong when their families try to tear them apart until the secrets they keep from each other are revealed. Will Deagan win back his girl or is his past too heavy a burden to face? There's a fine line between secrets and lies, until keeping a secret means having to tell a lie...

Beautifully written, real life drama that many of us can relate to. No repetition that drags on the story for no reason which is appreciated by some of us readers. ......

Wow, I really like Aria. She's someone we can relate to and seems very down to earth... not like other stories on here. I think that's what I really like about this story. It seems like something that can happen in real life. Great start! Very well written!!

A splash of reality, never jump to conclusions as we don't know what people are going tru in life that might get them in a position to lie. On the other hand not all lies are acceptable and should be avoided as it can ruin friendships and families. An amazing novel by far!

I found this story through the group, and absolutely loved the first chapter! It's so rare to find such well-written stories with so much emotion these days. Anyway, I will continue reading your story now, but I will leave this review before I forget!

Chapter One
Aria hated the idea of being a statistic. She had always loathed keeping up with trends and following clichés, but naturally, there was an exception, that exception had a name; coffee. Like every other warm-blooded American, Aria was no stranger to this addiction; it had developed over the years and she could not shake it no matter how hard she tried. That is exactly how she found herself standing at the front counter of her favourite café in Seattle; Espresso Bar, surrounded by the heavenly smell of coffee and fresh pastries. It was nothing out of the ordinary for her to have a sudden craving for coffee at midday; admittedly it may be her absolute dislike for clichés that fuelled her strange behaviour. While she liked coffee a lot, she never took her coffee in the morning; instead, she preferred an iced coffee at midday to satisfy her craving.

Chapter Two
The rest of the week seemed to drag on for Aria and Deagan alike, directly after he dropped her off at her car and got into his own, he texted her and since then they had been in constant contact, even while she was in meetings. She still had no idea what it was that he did for a living, but her guess was that he worked in the corporate world, judging by his attire the day that they met. The ringing of her office phone broke her concentration from the case file that she was currently working on. Her mind was still processing the information in the contract, in which she was trying to find a loophole that could unbind her client from the contract in question. It was a prenuptial contract, she didn’t generally work with family cases, but this was an exception since the woman and her children had been abused by her husband, she needed to find a clause in the contract that they could use against hi

Chapter Three
After storming out of Ayc’s office, Aria drove home a little faster than normal. She had always been a bit of a speed freak, she loved the thrill and how the world passed her by in a blur. Somehow it calmed her. The moment she got home she climbed into a warm shower, with the hope that the water would relax her tense muscles and salvage her mood even just a little, Deagan did not deserve to be on the receiving end of her foul mood. Aria stared in approval at her reflection in the standing full-length mirror. The chiffon halter neck black dress hugged her torso and flared out around her hips all the way down to her knees, showing off her impeccably tanned legs which were held up in a pair of black stilettos. Her waist-long golden blonde locks were pinned out of her face and a pair of black flower stud earrings adorned her ears. Simple yet elega

Chapter Four
Aria was woken up by the shrill ringing of her phone, lifting her head off the pillow she reached for the device that was the source of her annoyance. ‘This better be good or someone is going to get an earful.’ She thought grumpily and answered the call without checking the caller ID. “Good morning gorgeous.” A husky voice sounded through the speaker and involuntarily a shiver ran down her spine, her irritation washed away as quickly as a smile graced her lips, “Not so good now that I’m awake.” Deagan imagined her pouting and chuckled at her childishness. He felt elated that a woman as beautiful and intelligent as herself would even give him the time of day. “Now, now Miss Gray, that's not very matur

Chapter Five
Aria and Deagan walked silently, hand in hand across the backyard towards a vast bush that lay on the other end of the grassy open space which seemed to surround the beautiful cottage. It was a quaint little place, but the homey feeling was unmistakable and hard not to fall in love with. Deagan hadn’t said a word since they stepped out of the house; it was obvious that he was having a tough time; she knew it had something to do with his parents, but what lay beyond the bushy wall was a mystery. One that made her slightly nervous. He had only spoken about his parents once before when she asked; she knew his mom and dad passed away in a plane crash on their back from holiday in the Netherlands where his dad had taken his mom for their twentieth anniversary. Other than that the topic of his family was a mystery.

Chapter Six
“Wait, you know Aycin?” Deagan frowned when she acknowledged his brother by name, sipping on her lemonade she nodded. “Yeah, I’m his attorney… Or, was.” she frowned, remembering their last encounter months back“What does that mean?” he pushed, recalling a conversation he had with his brother about having to find a new lawyer because of an incompetency issue.“Exactly what I said, we didn’t quite see eye to eye on some things.” His eyes narrowed at her sudden dismissal but chose to let it go, knowing better than to jump to the defence when neither her nor his brother gave him more than a few words on the matter.“Anyway, my sister Amaya is studying to be a choreographer at the Washington Art A

Chapter Seven
Aria was floored, despite the fact that they had been seeing each other for a couple of months and he’d hinted on many occasions that he thought of her as his girlfriend, she wasn’t expecting such a proposal.“What do you say, Advocate?” his smile looked hopeful, yet guarded and she couldn’t think of any other words to say;“Yes, I’ll be yours.” A cheerful smile lit up her features and a startled squeal left her lips when he lifted her into the air and spun her around. Both were on cloud nine, when he finally placed her back on her feet, she grabbed the canister from his hand and swayed a little on her way to the wall where she made a huge red tick over the “Mine”.“Now that’s pure perfection.&

Chapter Eight
“Are you sure you’re going to be okay?” Deagan asked for the hundredth time and Aria’s thin patience ran out.“Deagan, for God’s sake, I am not  a child, I can handle myself so would you please relax and get out of the damn car before they think we’ve changed our minds.” She snapped, with irritation written all over her face.“I didn’t say you couldn’t handle yourself, I just- you and my brother don’t have the best history and I don’t want you to be uncomfortable.” He pouted.“I am here in a personal capacity, if Aycin cannot separate his personal and professional life, that’s not my business and I am more than capable of handling him if he says something out of line so please breathe and let’s go, I can see th

Chapter Nine
Holding her hand in his, Aria expertly navigated them through the dense crowd which consisted of hundreds of girls dressed in either too little cloth or too much leather and metal. It looked a little like a scene from a fast and furious movie, apart from the fact that they weren’t congregated on a random street at the back of town, instead they filled the Seattle Circuit to the brim. “You couldn’t beat me if you tried, Rookie.” A tall man dressed in a blue racing overall smirked, his features were dark and looked dangerous. It wasn’t hard to tell by his prideful stance that he wasn’t speaking out of pure ego. “Why don’t we put that to the test on the track, or are you scared that you’ll lose your title tonight?” the man threw his head back with a burst of deep, rumbling laughter which was e

Chapter Ten
Aria’s concentration on the case file in front of her was broken by the shrill ring of her office landline. Seeing her assistant’s name pop up, a bad feeling settled over her heart, Lawrence preferred speaking to her in person when he needed something.“Lawrence?” She answered seriously.“Miss Gray, Mr and Mrs Gray are here to see you, shall I send them in?” Aria’s shoulders deflated at the mention of her parents, she wasn’t particularly in the mood to deal with her father’s disapproval today and it was very unlike them to show up at her office unannounced, her father preferred summoning her to his lair when he needed to speak to her. Aria cleared her throat to get rid of the ball that was forming and glanced at the wall clock before answering, “Of co
