“Where are you going?” She enquired.
“I’m taking you to your appointment, where else?” He smiled funnily.
“O-okay.” She was hesitant, but couldn’t find a reason for him not to take her there.
“Have you had breakfast?” She nodded an affirmative and allowed him to usher her out of the house.
The ride to the hospital was silent apart from the radio playing softly in the background.
“I have a meeting with Mr Victor at 12pm, so you can leave; I’ll take The Tube back home.” She was anxi

Deagan was engrossed in replying to emails when his phone rang and Amaya’s name flashed on his screen, he quickly accepted the call.“Well, well, well. To what do I owe this pleasure?” he teased, enjoying it when she scoffed.“Can’t I call my only brother?” Usually, he would have laughed and responded sarcastically, but her comment made his heart pang.“You have two brothers, Amaya.” The words were out of his mouth before he could stop them. Amaya took Aycin leaving the hardest of all and he felt guilty for being here with their brother when he knew his sister missed him immensely.“He’s dead to me.” She sounded pissed, as she always did when someone mentioned Aycin.

“Can I ask you something?” Deagan voiced after a few minutes of silence.“Sure.” She said without thinking, she felt at ease in his presence, despite the possibilities that came with such a question.“When did you first start seeing Dr van Donne?” She thought back to the first time she heard the man’s name; Dr Alton had referred her to him, insisting that it was a good idea for anyone going through what she was.“Probably within the first week of meeting Dr Alton, he referred me to him, saying that it would be good for me. I was really hesitant at first, but I decided to give it a chance.” She explained truthfully.“Did it help? Does

Aria looked at the three tickets in her hand, sucking in a deep breath she hoped she wasn’t making a mistake. She wanted so badly to watch Amaya dance, but she couldn’t help her apprehension.“Hey, it’s normal to be worried,” Hazel reassured her.“Is it”?” She looked unconvinced and Hazel smiled.“Honey, facing a difficult past isn’t meant to be easy. It takes courage even if you aren’t looking it dead in the eye. You’re the strongest person I know, it’s time you started believing that.” Aria wrapped her arms around her friend; her words were exactly the motivation she needed.“Thank you for everything Haze.” Hazel hugged her back just as tightly.

“Aria?” she spun around at the sound of Drew’s voice behind her, three pairs of eyes stared at her with worry.“Hey, Drew.” She breathed, sending him a half there smile.“He’s okay Ari.” Drew smiled softly, pulling her into his arms for a warm hug.“How did this happen?” She asked softly and felt him sigh before he stepped back to look at her.“We were waiting for Maya when someone bumped into him, pushing him straight in front of a car. His leg twisted and his shoulder slammed into the hood.” He recounted the events of earlier that night.“He must be in so much pain.” Her eyes shut tight in pain; she could still hear him writhing in pai

“Home sweet home,” Deagan commented when Aycin helped him sit on the couch of his new living room, with his family surrounding him stiffly.“Whose house is this?” His uncle questioned, looking around the expansive open-planned house.“Mine, I bought it a few weeks ago.” Aria and Deagan shared a smile.“Why in the world would you do that, Deagan?” Amaya frowned deeply, sending a suspicious look in Aria’s direction.“I needed a place to work while I was here and the apartment was getting a little cramped for the three of us,” Deagan answered truthfully.“You don’t really have a business here, do you?” Maya stated more than aske

“It’s a duck!” Deagan called out, causing Hazel to stop short and send him an incredulous look.“Where in the world did you get that from!” She exclaimed which made everyone burst out laughing.“Uh, you said it swims on top of water?” Aria couldn’t hold back her giggles when the timer ran out.“I said it’s man-made!” He huffed in reservation and looked at her expectantly.“Well, what is it?”“A sailboat!” everyone else chorused, much to his annoyance.“I give up, this game is stupid!” he threw his hands up, pouting.

She looked stunning in her baby blue gown, the plunging neckline made him uncomfortable and the wisps of her pixie cut hair which brushed the back of her neck gave him the urge to go out and drag her back and hide her from the prying eyes of the world, but the hopeful smile she sent him when she stepped off the grand staircase still lingered in his mind. He could see the hint of insecurity in her eyes and the nervousness in the hands that constantly ran down the front of her dress, smoothing out invisible creases.As much as he wished he was the lucky man who would get to place his hand on the small of her back tonight, he knew he was one leg short and all out of luck, so he had to settle for watching her approach the sleek black Mercedes Benz which no doubt held a man he was insanely jealous of.As she disappeared from his sight, into the dark car,

Deagan’s eyes were furrowed, where in the world was Aria at this time of the night? He was far too agitated to stop himself from reaching for his phone.He trusted her, but dammit he was worried.“Hello?” she answered on the second ring, he barely had time to feel relieved before the sadness in his voice threw him into a panic.His eyes widened in alarm and he flew up from the seat, not feeling the pain that shot down his leg at the sudden movement. “Aria, where are you? What’s wrong?” his voice was frantic, the weight that settled on his chest only increased when a sob escaped her throat.“Ari baby, please tell me where you are.” he choked out and tried to take a step towards the door, but tripped o

Secrets THE END
Unlike other brides, Aria didn’t want to be escourted down the aisle by her father. While their relationship was far better than it had ever been in the past, she held onto the dream she had as a little girl of her grandfather giving her away and since he wasn’t there to do it, she opted to leave the space beside her empty. She sucked in a deep breath as the last of her wedding party exited the mahogany doors and descended the stairs into the backyard. “You okay, Honey?” Her mother asked when she saw the nervous look on her face. “Yeah, just nervous.” Her mother smiled comfortingly. “Why? You’re about to marry the man of your dreams.” Aria blushed at her mother’s words.

The evening turned to night as the sunset in the sky and before Aria knew it, they were taking the elevator down to the basement parking. She was beyond happy that Deagan was officially taking over D’Heart enterprises, but she had worked herself up to a different kind of happiness which she never received and that was disappointing.“Everything okay?” Deagan asked just as the silent elevator ride came to an end.“Yeah, just a little tired. I’ve kind of been living on coffee this week.” She confessed, blushing when he sent her a disapproving frown.“So all that talk of, ‘I slept well’ was just a hoax?” Aria grimaced and nodded.&ldquo

Aria hopped off the truck with her heart rate erratic and smoothed down the frock of the beautiful red dress. The sweetheart neckline with cap sleeves accentuated her collar bones and the flattering A-line fit made her waist appear smaller. There was a pair of silver heeled sandals inside the box which fit her feet perfectly and complimented the dress in the most subtle way possible.They were parked in front of D’Heart Incorporated as the sunset. She had no idea what to expect, but at the very least she knew she would find the love of her life in that glass skyscraper which calmed all the nerves she felt.The chauffeur handed her another rose, making it the sixth she received that day.Halfway there beautiful, are you ready for a little walk ‘up’ memory lane?

“Sweetheart?” Deagan’s voice pierced through the darkness.“Hmm?” Aria hummed from her position with her head on his chest.“Have you ever considered London home?” Aria bit her lip.“No, not really.”“Have you ever considered moving back to Seattle?” Aria sat up and folded her legs beneath her, prompting him to sit up as well.“I’ve thought about it a few times, more so after the party the other night. I mean it’s cool that you guys are all here right now, but everyone has a life back there and I don’t expect you to stay here forever

Deagan waited patiently outside the ladies’ room as Aria tried to pull herself together, the redness of her eyes refused to subside and the pain in her heart wouldn’t allow her peace.She sighed for the umpteenth time, throwing away the tissue with resignation.“Hey, you okay?” Aycin asked with a worried look in his eye the moment she exited the bathroom.“Not really, but I will be.” Aria smiled, taking Deagan’s outstretched hand.“Just mingle a little, then we’ll run away.” Aycin winked and Aria grinned.Together they made their way back to the table where Alaster’s parents w

Aria blew out a heavy breath as she stepped off the podium, the bright stage lights made sweat bead along her hairline, but despite the discomfort, she was elated at the response she received.

She was an inspiration that he was proud to call his friend.

“What the hell?” Aycin commented, seeing Andrew seated on Maddie’s bed, feeding her a cup of yoghurt.Maddie looked at Andrew in panic, she knew they would put two and two together when they saw them, but she wasn’t ready for the outburst, especially knowing about Andrew and Amaya’s recent past.“It’s okay, I’ve got this. Did you have enough?” Drew asked, putting the empty cup and spoon down on the table. Maddie nodded and glanced over her shoulder at her family who watched the exchange with confusion and suspicion.“Does someone want to explain what’s going on here?” Uncle William asked sternly when Drew turned around.&
