Adrian woke up nice and early the following day and looked down at the sleeping beauty in his arms. He kissed her on the top of her head softly and looked around her quiet room, thinking for the very first time since they had started dating, he had actually spent the whole night with her, as normally he always left once, she fell asleep. He was about to close his eyes for another few minutes when he heard his phone ring and vibrate. He slowly pulled his arm out from under Aria’s head and searched for it quickly, not wanting to disturb her in any way. He looked around her small bedside table and almost knocked over a few of the candles that were on it, thinking she had an unhealthy obsession with them as she had lots scattered all around, making the room look very cosy.“Your phones so loud” Aria murmured quietly before she wrapped the duvet around herself and closed her eyes once again, wondering what was taking him so long to answer it. Adrian looked down at her,“Not as loud as h
It was the following day, and Adrian woke up to the early morning sun peering through the small gaps in the curtains, in the main sitting room of his luxurious mansion in Los Angeles. He dropped the cigarette he was holding into the ash tray that was on the table next to him and took in his surroundings. He knew he hadn’t slept for long as it was almost near dawn when he had returned home, after having a few too many drinks, something he hadn’t done in years. He was never a fan of alcohol as he always liked to be in his right mind, but last night he gave in as he needed something strong to drown out all of his thoughts and feelings. Adrian felt his head pound as he leaned back against the armchair he was sitting on, thinking all he could think about last night was her and even now she was the only one on his mind. “What have you done to me beautiful” he thought to himself as he rubbed both of his temples, thinking a woman was always the least of his worries in the past, but that
Ten days had passed since Adrian had left, and with each passing day Aria was finding it more and more harder to live without him, as she missed him a lot. Christmas day arrived nice and quickly just as it did every year, and as much as Aria didn’t want to celebrate it, she decided she would for the sake of Adrian’s parents, who had invited her around for dinner. She knew they were also very upset, as Adrian hadn’t contacted them either and she couldn’t even imagine what they were going through, not knowing where their only child was.It was just after six in the evening when Aria arrived at their mansion. She was wearing a nice simple dark brown dress, which she wore with black heels. She wore very subtle makeup and had left all of her long hair opened.“Merry Christmas dear how are you?” Angela asked her the moment she stepped inside. Aria met her with a nice tight hug,“I am ok, how are you? Merry Christmas to you to” she said with a small smile as she held onto her tightly, findin
TRIGGER WARNING-MENTION OF CHILD LOSSAria felt her eyes open and close as she fell in and out of consciousness. The pain in the side of her stomach was unbearable and all she could think about was her little babies. Rylan rushed over to her in a flash and screamed out for help as he picked her up from the floor and pressed down on her wound as tightly as he could, to stop the blood from pouring out anymore then it had already. “Aria open your eyes” he said as he tapped her face gently, the fear clear in his voice. Aria recognised his voice but was too drowned in pain to open her eyes and reply.Rylan screamed out helplessly, hoping someone heard him and called an ambulance as she was losing too much blood. He took of the jacket he was wearing and wrapped it around her tightly, as her body temperature was dropping rapidly, and he was scared of losing her. It wasn’t long before Angela heard his plea for help and quickly rushed out of the mansion, along with Cengiz and a few other peop
It was the following day and Aria had gained consciousness just after six in the morning. Adrian had spent the night by her bedside, holding her hand and gently stroking her face and hair. He didn’t know how he was going to tell her that one of the twins didn’t make it. “You’re awake” he said to her quietly, the sound of relief clear in his slightly deep voice. Aria looked up at him and then down at herself, thinking she had slept for a very long time it seemed. Adrian gently pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly,“Forgive me for my carelessness beautiful, I should have never left you” he said quietly as he held her close and kissed her on the top of her head softly. Aria hugged him back, although she felt like she had no energy.“I’m glad to have you back” she said with a small smile, as she felt a sharp pain to the side of her stomach and remembered everything had happened last night. Adrian moved a little back from her and looked down at her with a serious look,“I kno
Adrian had contacted Aria’s parents as soon as he had found out that she had been hurt and had sent one of his very own private jets over to North Carolina to bring them to New-York, as he knew she would find some what comfort in seeing them after everything that had happened. Weston was a bit hesitant at first but when Adrian had told him that she was fighting for her life, he wasted no time in flying over with his wife Gabriella.It had been a few hours since Aria had found out her unborn son and she hadn’t been in a good state since. She only fell asleep after she was given a dose of a high pain relief medication and Adrian didn’t know how long he could take seeing her pain. He was lost in this own thoughts when he heard the door to the room open and in walked her parents. He recognised them quickly as Aria had shown him some pictures of them both in the past.“Aria my baby” Gabriella her mum said as she rushed over to her side and touched her face lovingly, with tears in her eyes.
A few days had passed, and Aria had barely spoken to anyone as she slowly recovered and accepted her new reality. Both her parents had returned home late yesterday evening but had promised her that they would visit again soon, along with her siblings who also couldn’t wait to see her. Aria was glad to have them by her side, even though she hadn’t talked to them much, she had definitely found comfort with them being there.Adrian had put everything in his life on hold and stayed by Aria’s side, day in and day out. The only time he left the hospital was if she needed something. It was just after ten in the morning when he quietly walked into her room and saw her sitting on the edge of the bed.“You’re awake” he said quietly as he closed the door after himself and walked over to her, thinking she looked lost in thought. Aria hadn’t heard him come in, and only realised he was there when he touched the top part of her arm and made her jump.“I didn’t hear you come in” she said quietly. A
It was just after 3am in the morning when Hunter arrived at the address which Adrian had sent to him a few days ago. He had come prepared with a crowbar, gun, and sharp knife, leaving no room for errors. The house was on the outskirts of New-York city, hidden behind tall hedges. Hunter stepped out of his car and quietly made his way up the driveway. He tampered with the security camera that was outside and switched it off before he unlocked the closed door with a crowbar and opened it quietly, not wanting to wake up his opponent. He locked the door after himself and quietly walked down the silent hallway, thinking he’ll grab himself a quick drink from the fridge and then make his way upstairs. Hunter opened the fridge and looked at all the options inside, thinking the guy sure had a good taste. He opened a can of sprite and quickly gulped it down before he walked towards the stairs.It wasn’t long before he reached the top and walked to the master bedroom quietly, trying his best to
FOURTEEN YEARS LATER. “This cake is delicious mom” Aria and Adrian’s youngest daughter Angelina said as she sat at the counter and licked her fingers. Aria was busy cooking in the kitchen as today was the day Chase was returning home after spending the last few years in the middle east where he had been busy setting up some new hotels and overlooking some other new projects. If anyone thought that Adrian had done a good job at taking the Delgado name to the top than they clearly didn’t know what Chase was capable of, as not only did he take the company to the highest it had ever been, but he had also expanded it out worldwide, making sure every person of status and power out there knew their name. Adrian had raised the perfect son, who was not only intelligent and loyal, but also extremely dangerous when he needed to be. The Delgado’s were all looking forward to his return and to celebrate Aria had invited all of her and Adrian’s close friends and family over for dinner as she
Aria and Adrian both flew over to North Carolina as quickly as they could and much to their dismay, they found out that Weston had suffered from a fatal gunshot wound to his chest with the bullet narrowly missing his vital organs. He had survived but was put in a medical induced coma to rest his body and mind. The next twenty-four hours were very critical, and all the close family members were told to prepare themselves for the worst, as his current statistics weren’t looking very good. Adrian held Aria in his arms and tried his best to console her as she cried uncontrollably, “Wake up dad please, we can’t lose you” she said as she took hold of Weston’s hand and kissed it softly, feeling helpless and weak. Nate was hugging Gabriella who was upset but trying her best to be as strong as she could. “Everything will be ok mom, dad will pull through” he said confidently before he kissed her on the top of her head softly. Adrian had called all the best surgeons of the city to tr
Aria felt her pretty eyes widen the moment she saw both Adrian and Hunter go for each other and throw punches. Hunter was faster but Adrian was more rougher,“You want to know the truth, here I’ll tell you everything, yes it was me who got someone to kill your mother, I was also the one who got rid of Rosalina and the reason I took up the job of becoming your woman’s bodyguard was because I wanted her dead. I wanted her to suffer the way she made me suffer, its only a matter of time before she will do the same with you as she did to Rylan” Hunter said to Adrian loudly as they both fought each other to the ground. Adrian punched him on the nose as hard as he could and watched the blood splatter out from it, “I should have never trusted you and let you in to my circle, Aria was right about you from the very beginning, you were nothing but a waste of space” he said before he punched him again, not giving him enough time to fight back. Aria walked over to them both and looked down at A
It was two hours later, and Aria was patiently waiting for Hunter to arrive. She took a deep breath and quietly paced around the back garden, thinking as much as she didn’t want to see him or touch him, she needed to do this for herself and all her and Adrian’s loved ones who had suffered at his hands. She had rang him and told him to come over as she wanted to talk to him about something important. Hunter was a bit hesitant at first but agreed when she told him that Adrian wasn’t home, and she could do with some company. He knew it sounded too good to be true but decided to go anyways as he had been meaning to get her alone and what better way to do it then at her own house. Aria felt her heart skip a beat the moment her phone beeped, and she realised he was here. She was looking out at the swimming pool in front of her when she heard footsteps.She turned around slowly and looked at Hunter who was dressed more casually than normal. He walked over to her and looked down at her wit
It was the following morning and Aria and Adrian had woken up nice and early, with last night fresh on their minds. Aria had stripped the entire bedding and put some new one on, before she aired the room and made sure no evidence of their wild night was left behind. Adrian buttoned up his shirt in the mirror and looked over at her as she smoothed out the new bedsheet, his eyes falling on her behind, thinking he was surprised she was still walking after being on her knees for the most part of last night. She still couldn’t look him in the eyes without blushing and he knew it was because of what he did. He quickly fixed his hair before he put on his jacket and tied his watch around his wrist, thinking a few more times and she’ll get used to it and there was a lot more that he wanted to do with her, with her consent obviously. “You done cleaning?” he asked her quietly, thinking in under an hour she had made the entire room look good as new and smell nice and refreshing. Aria turn
Adrian walked into Aria’s old bedroom and quietly locked the door after himself, thinking he had only seen her room once before, but he didn’t remember it looking as feminine as it did. It was his first time staying at her folks house and he wasn’t sure how he felt about it as he felt pretty out of place, although her whole family had been very welcoming. He took of his jacket and shoes before he walked further into the dim lit room and stopped when his eyes fell on Aria who was sitting on the edge of the bed, waiting for him patiently. She was wearing a sexy nude and red coloured lingerie set that nicely clung to her body and showed of plenty of her skin.Aria felt her heart skip a beat the moment both of their eyes met, and she felt him undress her in his mind. Adrian undid a few more buttons of his shirt and walked over to her quickly, thinking she looked too fucking tempting. She had left all of her long hair opened and was wearing a nice sun kissed body lotion all over her bo
It was a week later, and Aria and Adrian had just arrived in North Carolina where they were going to stay for a night and then head back to New-York city.They were going to leave Lyla with Aria’s parents for a few days, as the next few days were going to be very crucial for them both, and they wanted her to be as safe and protected as she possibly could. The private jet landed at a small private airport and the family quickly disembarked the plane. Adrian held Lyla in his arms and gently held her against his chest, not wanting any of the paparazzi or photographers to take any pictures of her as he believed she was just too precious for the whole world to see. Aria slipped on her dark shades and followed him down, as the warm evening breeze gently brushed against her face and reminded her that she was finally home, in the city where she had spent most of her life. Jared followed them both quietly, along with a few of Adrian’s other bodyguards who had travelled with them on this sho
Adrian was busy smoking his cigarette when Chase approached him from behind and wrapped an arm around his neck from behind as tightly as he could, taking him by surprise. “What do you want now?” he asked him quietly, thinking he was probably just messing around like he always did. Chase didn’t let go of him and squeezed on his neck slightly, hoping he got the hint. “Don’t move” he said before he pulled out the knife from behind him and held it against his neck, thinking what he was about to do felt very wrong, but he needed to do it anyways. Adrian put out his cigarette and remained as calm as possible, as it wasn’t the first time someone had tried to kill him.“Are you in your right mind?” he asked with a serious look, thinking he could easily get out of his tight hold, but he was going to make him believe that he was doing a good job at holding him in place. Chase held the sharp knife against the base of his neck and looked down at him angrily,“I’ve been waiting for this momen
A few days had passed and both Aria and Adrian had been working hard on finding any dirt they could on Hunter. Adrian had kept him at an arm’s length and made sure he didn’t get too close to him or any of his loved ones. Everyone had suffered enough already, and he wasn’t going to make the same mistake again and let him back into his circle, not after what he had done. He had paid a visit to the hotel where Aria and him had stayed a few weeks ago and like expected had found out that Hunter had bribed one of the security guards there with money, just so that he didn’t open his mouth and expose what he had done with Aria. Adrian made sure he was given a copy of the footage from inside the hotel suite before he left and much to his relief, he was glad to find out that Hunter didn’t sleep with Aria. He told Aria straightaway as he knew how much it had been eating her up from the inside since the day she had found out. Aria was glad that Hunter didn’t take advantage of her, although h
