Rosalina looked at Aria and then towards the archway that lead out of the kitchen, both expecting someone to walk in, but they never did.“Maybe its Adrian” Aria said quietly before she walked out of the kitchen to take a look. To her surprise there was no one there. She looked around the eerily quiet open hall thinking she was pretty sure she had heard someone. Without giving it any second thought, she quickly walked out of the hall and up the grand set of stairs, towards Lyla’s nursery to see if she was ok, although she knew the monitor would have started beeping if anyone had entered her room. She quietly walked towards the crib and felt an instant sense of relief the moment she saw her sleeping peacefully. She leaned down and kissed her on the top of her head softly before she fixed the light blanket around her and left the room. Aria was about to make her way back downstairs when she bumped into someone and let out a loud fearful gasp. Adrian caught her before she fell and qu
Rosalina was almost falling asleep when she felt a strong hand grasp over her mouth tightly. She tried to scream for help but couldn’t move or breath. Hunter injected something into the side of her arm and watched her fall unconscious within a few seconds. He opened her bedside table and quickly took out the first notebook he found, before he looked around for a pen, thinking he’ll write a quick note for Aria on Rosalina’s behalf and leave it on the bed. There was no way he was going to let Adrian’s suspicions grow and for that he needed to get rid of Rosalina and not leave a trace of her behind, although he wanted to kill her right there and dump her body somewhere secluded but knew that wasn’t a good idea, especially after what she had told everyone. Hunter quickly wrote the note and made the bed, before he picked Rosalina up and carried her out of the mansion over his shoulder, thinking this time he needed to act smart and not impulsively. He had already deactivated all the cam
Adrian quickly ended the meeting and told everyone to leave before he turned all of his attention to Aria.“What are you doing here?” he asked with a serious look, thinking it wasn’t like her to barge in a room full of people, especially when she knew he was in a middle of a meeting.Aria quietly closed the door after herself and walked over to where he was sitting,“I need to talk to you about something, it’s about Rosalina” she said before she took the empty seat on his right and sat down quickly, thinking he didn’t look too pleased. Adrian looked at her with a serious look on his face,“What was so urgent that couldn’t wait until I was done” he said, thinking she had just cost him a very important meeting.He rested a hand on his chin and looked at her as she got her words together,“She’s gone and I don’t know where, she just left this note and I’m really worried about her” Aria said before she took the note out of her pocket and showed it to him. Adrian read the note quietly and
Two days had passed, and Aria had still not spoken to Adrian. He had tried talking to her a few times, but she always busied herself with something or another, not wanting their conversation to lead to another argument. She missed Angela and Rosalina terribly and just wished Rosalina returned home soon, as no matter how hard she was trying to hold everything together, she was failing. Aria had just finished getting ready for the day when she heard her phone ring. She quickly answered it and held it against her ear,“Hello there Aria, it’s me Suzanna, I’m holding a small get together today and was wondering if you could come” Suzanna, a good friend of Angela’s asked her politely.Aria raked a hand through her slightly messy hair and listened to her quietly,“I’m a little busy today, but I’ll try my best to be there” she said before she walked back to the bedroom. Suzanna smiled,“Thank you dear, it’s for Angela, I thought we could all share some fond memories of her over tea” she sai
It was a week later, and Aria hadn’t stopped thinking about what Suzanna had told her about the night she had got stabbed. She replayed that moment in her head many times but no matter how hard she tried, she still couldn’t remember seeing anyone there but Rylan.She decided that she would talk to Adrian later and see what he says, but first she needed to meet up with Lucia for lunch as she wanted to ask her something important. Aria was wearing a nice black off shoulder top, which she had tucked inside a pair of black leather pants. She wore soft makeup and left all of her long hair opened with only the front tied back loosely. She slipped her phone into her pocket and picked up her large black handbag from the bed, before she quickly made her way downstairs. Aria kissed Lyla goodbye and gave her a quick cuddle before she quickly walked out of the house, thinking the weather finally seemed to be getting better in New-York. She was walking towards Jared’s car when Hunter stepped i
It was much later on in the evening and Aria and Adrian were both sitting outside in the garden, in front of the fire fit that was nicely glowing under the dark star filled sky. “I spoke to Lucia today, about her moving in with uncle for a few months” Aria said to Adrian as she watched him light up a cigarette. Adrian leaned back the sofa and listened to her quietly,“What did she say?” he asked before he took a long puff of his cigarette. Aria leaned back against the arm he had draped around her shoulder and looked up at him with a small smile,“She seemed happy, but I told her to think about it properly before making her final decision” she said before she took a small sip of her drink. Adrian held the cigarette away from her pretty face and looked down at her with a serious look on his face,“I hope you made it clear to her that dad and I only agreed to this purely for Aidan’s sake” he said quietly, as he looked down into her eyes deeply, thinking she looked stunning even thoug
The day that Aria had been waiting for ever since she had gone back into studying arrived nice and quickly and she couldn’t be more glad to finally graduate and get her degree. She had got ready nice and early with the help of her personal hair and makeup artist Serena, who she always used for special events. Aria was wearing a nice dark purple plum coloured velvet dress that nicely hugged her figure. She wore nice pretty makeup and had styled all of her long hair in loose curls.She finished of her look with a pair of black heels and her favourite perfume which alone was enough to make heads turn. “You look stunning, good luck for today” Serena said to her with a smile as she put all of her makeup away neatly. Aria put on some dangly earrings and looked at her,“Thank you” she said with a small smile before she looked at herself in the mirror, thinking she couldn’t wait to share her special day with all her loved ones. Even parents had specially flown in from North Carolina. Ad
Adrian held out his hand to Aria and helped her up the few steps that lead onto their awaiting helicopter, thinking she looked nothing short of beautiful and he liked what she was wearing. She was wearing a gorgeous grey coloured dress that had fur on the sleeves and a very low back that showed of a generous amount of her skin teasingly. The dress hugged her body nicely and had a small slit at the back from the bottom, that showed of the back of her long legs. Aria wore nice pretty makeup and had styled all of her long hair up in a sleek bun, leaving only a few strands out to frame her pretty face. She wore big beautiful dangly earrings in her ears, a few rings, and clear strapped heels. “Thank you” she said to Adrian quietly as she held onto his hand tightly and helped herself up onto the helicopter thinking she couldn’t wait to see the sunset from up above. The helicopter was going to take them both for a short ride around the city and then to the luxurious hotel where they wer
