Two days had passed, and Aria and Adrian had both arrived back to New-York late last night. It was just after twelve in the afternoon when Aria had arrived at Jenna and Miles apartment with Hunter. She wanted to apologise to them both for everything in person and just hoped Jenna didn’t cut her out as she couldn’t afford to lose her, as she was the only good friend she had. “Are you sure this is a good idea?” Hunter asked her with a serious look as he stood next to her and looked down at her with both of his arms folded. Aria slipped a few strands of her hair behind her ear and looked up at him with a serious look,“Yes, I owe them both an apology, if it wasn’t for me, they wouldn’t have been dragged into this whole mess” she said, and it was then Miles opened the door and looked at her with quiet a surprised look on his face.“Come on in” he said with a small smile. Hunter looked down at Aria,“I’ll wait outside” he said quietly, although he wanted to go inside and eavesdrop on th
A few weeks had passed, and it was now the twentieth of March, the day of Adrian’s birthday. Aria had been waiting for this day for the longest time ever as she wanted to make it really nice and special for him, as he had once told her how he never really bothered celebrating it as he didn’t see the point of it. Since that day she had decided that when the time came, she would make his birthday all about him and make sure he enjoyed it. She had woken up extra early then normal and quickly freshened up before she made her way downstairs and finished of the small vanilla sponge cake that she had baked for him yesterday. Aria knew he wasn’t much of a dessert person but hoped he liked it as she had put a lot of thought and love into it to make it as perfect as she could.She spread the fresh cream over it and arranged some nicely cut strawberries on top of it before she put it on a tray and made some tea. It was a good ten minutes later when she finally made her way back upstairs with
Adrian leaned back against the tree behind him and watched Aria as she nicely set up the picnic mat, looking effortlessly pretty. He still didn’t know how she had convinced him to come the park, yet there he was, way out of his comfort zone.“Could you make yourself useful and take out everything from these for me so I can set everything up nicely” Aria said to Adrian with a small smile as she pushed the picnic baskets that were filled with food towards him, thinking she couldn’t wait to eat, as they both hadn’t had breakfast. Adrian looked over at her,“I much rather sit here and watch you” he said with a hand on his chin, thinking she looked good with all of her hair tied up. Aria put on her sad face and looked up at him,“But I’m really hungry” she said quietly, hoping he felt sorry for her and gave in to her sad look. Adrian sat up without hesitating and looked at her,“Did you not eat in the morning?” he asked with a serious look as he watched her pretty hands work as fast as th
Adrian and Aria both walked down the huge hallway and towards the main sitting room, where all the guests were waiting for them patiently. “Surprise” they shouted the moment they both walked in hand in hand. Adrian couldn’t help but look a little taken back as he was not expecting to see anyone else there but his parents.“I’m so glad you came” Angela said with a smile as she rushed over to him and hugged him tightly, feeling overly happy. Aria took a step back and let them have their little moment, thinking it was cute seeing Angela adore her not so little son and shower him with affection.“Was this planned?” Adrian asked Angela once he moved back from her and looked at her and Aria, who busy taking pictures of them both on her phone. Angela smiled and looked up at him,“Yes, don’t say anything to Aria, this was all my idea” she said quickly, thinking he didn’t look too pleased. Aria met her with a nice tight hug and looked at Adrian,“You heard auntie, I had nothing to do with t
Aria gasped softly and quickly closed the door, but not before her eyes met Adrian’s dads, who was propped up against the bed with a blond woman sitting on top of him topless. It was clear what they were both doing and without giving it a second thought, she quickly made her way back downstairs, feeling shocked and hurt. She couldn’t believe what she had seen and just hoped she was asleep and dreaming, although she knew very well that she was as awake as she could be. Angela saw her walking down the stairs very quickly and dangerously,“Aria please be careful dear” she said as she rushed over to her and helped her of the last step. Aria held onto her hand tightly and gave it a gentle squeeze, thinking there was no way she could tell her what she had seen.It was in that very moment Adrian walked into the mansion and Aria couldn’t be more glad.“We should get going, it’s quite late as it is” she said before she quickly hugged Angela and walked over to him, hoping he agreed. Adrian loo
Aria put down the burger she was holding in her hand and looked over at Adrian with quiet a concerned look on her face, thinking he looked lost in thought.“You can tell me handsome, I won’t tell anyone” she said quietly, after she realised that something was definitely on his mind.Adrian took her hand and kissed her over her knuckles softly,“There was a raid at one of our hotels and they found some illegal substances. I don’t know how they got there or who did it, but I’m sure it’s someone who works for me” he said quietly with a serious look. Aria felt her pretty eyes widen as she listened,“That’s really bad, was it one of the hotels here or in another city?” she asked as she turned slightly and faced him better. Adrian looked down at her,“Here” he said before he ate some more of his burger. Aria held onto his arm and gave it a gentle squeeze,“I’m sure you’ll get to the bottom of it, you always do” she said with a small smile, thinking now it all made sense to why he had been
Two weeks had passed, and it was now the day of Aria’s planned c-section. Adrian and her and had arrived at the hospital nice and early, feeling all sort of different emotions. The doctors showed them both to the operating room and ran them through everything before they made Aria sign some consent forms. “This is it” she said to Adrian quietly as she quickly signed the papers. Adrian took hold of her free hand and gave it a gentle comforting squeeze,“How are you feeling?” he asked as he slipped a few strands of her hair behind her ear, thinking she looked beautiful, even though she wasn’t wearing much makeup. Aria wrapped her fingers around his and looked up at him,“I feel a little scared” she said quietly as she shivered slightly, not knowing what to expect as it was her first-time giving birth. Adrian kissed her on the forehead softly and looked down at her,“No need to be beautiful, I’ll be right here with you” he said before he gave her a tight one-armed hug, thinking she lo
The senior doctor closed the door after himself and looked at Adrian with a serious concerned look on his face,“I’m sorry to inform you that Miss Silverstone is still unconsciousness. She lost a lot of blood during the surgery, and we don’t have enough of her blood type blood available in this hospital, but don’t worry someone is already on their way over to pick up some more from another hospital nearby” he explained nice and clearly.Adrian listened quietly with a serious look,“The best private hospital in New-York, yet still lacking in the basic necessities” he said before he shook his head lightly, the annoyance clear in his voice. The doctor looked over at him, “These kind of situations are out of our control sir, but don’t worry we are trying our best” he said quickly, thinking he didn’t looked pleased.Adrian looked at him with a serious look,“Best is not good enough, I want her awake and well by the evening” he said quietly yet very clearly, almost like it was a warning. Th
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
