It was the following day and Adrian had lost another night of sleep. He had listened to the voicemail a few times over, thinking there was no fucking way what Lucia was saying was true as they had used protection. He lit up the last cigarette he had left and smoked it quietly, thinking this wasn’t the first time a woman had claimed to be pregnant with his child.“Morning sir, there’s someone here to see you shall I send her in?” his secretary Julia asked him over the phone. Adrian leaned back against his seat and listened to her quietly,“Whats her name?” he asked and before Julia could even reply, Jared and Aria both walked into his office. Jared closed the door after himself and looked at him with a serious look,“I assumed she wouldn’t need permission to come in here” he said about Aria. Adrian looked up at him,“She doesn’t but you do, from today onwards make sure you knock before you walk in” he said quietly but clearly. Aria felt her heart skip a beat as looked over at him, thin
A month had passed since Aria had signed the contract and, in that time, she had only seen Adrian once. It was just after eight in the evening when she arrived at the grand hotel where he had told her meet him for the annual business party, which he hosted every year. Aria was wearing a stunning deep red coloured evening gown which nicely fell off her shoulders and showed off a hint of sexy cleavage. The dress hugged her body perfectly and had a thigh high slit that showed of her long legs. She wore light beige-coloured heels, that were nicely wrapped around her ankles and dangly earrings in her ears, with a few rings on her fingers. She had left all her long curly hair opened with only a bit tied back from the side and was wearing nice pretty makeup. Adrian had told her to dress formally but didn’t expect her look as beautiful as she did the moment she walked into the hotel, catching the attention of many. He turned slightly and looked at her as she smiled at a few people on her wa
Adrian swore quietly and rushed over to where she had been standing, thinking she was crazy.He quickly jumped in after her without hesitating and searched for her in the ice-cold water, wondering why she had taken such a drastic step.Aria gasped for air under the cold dark river that made all her bones hurt. She thought she had saved herself, but that was far from the truth. Adrian searched for her frantically, hoping he found her soon as he couldn’t afford to see her hurt again.And it was then he saw her little head bop from under the water and he rushed over to her,“You’re unbelievable” he said with a serious look as he pulled her into his arms and hugged her shivering body tightly. Aria closed her eyes and hugged him back, feeling safe and protected.“ I saw someone in the bathroom first and then I heard someone call my name” she explained with her teeth clattering. Adrian listened quietly,“ You can explain later” he said as he didn’t want her to use up all the little energy
The early morning sun peaked through the clouds as Aria stepped out of Jared’s car and walked up to Adrian’s small private jet.She was dressed in her uniform and had all her long hair tied back neatly in a low bun. She wore very subtle makeup and finished of her look with a pair of sleek black heels.“Good morning” one of the two pilots walking around the aircraft said to her as he did all the final checks before takeoff. Aria greeted him with a small smile,“Good morning, sir” she said before she walked up the few steps that lead into the plane.To her surprise, Adrian was already there. He was dressed in a black suit and had all his hair tied back in a sleek pony.“Good morning” Aria said with a small polite small smile after she stowed her small cabin trolley away. Adrian glanced at his watch and then looked up at her through his dark sunglasses, thinking she looked nice and fresh.“Morning” he said quietly, with his dark grey eyes running over her body. Aria walked to the galley
It was just after midnight when Adrian had finished what he needed to do and headed back to the hotel. It had been a long day, and he still hadn’t forgotten about what happened on the plane. He took the escalator up to the highest floor and walked down the hall to Aria’s suite. He had told Jared and the rest of his guards to call it a night, as he wasnt planning on leaving her side. He scanned the door with his card and waited for it to unlock before he stepped inside and locked it after himself, wondering what Aria was doing. He took off the jacket and walked to the lounge where he could hear the tv playing. He stopped at the doorway and watched her scroll through her phone, thinking she looked sexy with all her long hair opened. She was wearing a nice soft beige coloured night gown, that was teasingly showing of her cleavage and long legs. He watched her for at least a minute before he walked over to her and caressed her neck from behind, making her jump.“I didn’t hear you come”
A few days had passed since that wild night in Washington. Adrian and Aria had both returned to New-York the following morning and hadn’t seen each other since.It was just after eight in the evening and had Aria just finished getting ready for her first date in a very long time.Adrian had left her a short message earlier in the morning and told her that he would pick her up by nine and to wear a nice dress as he was going to take her somewhere fancy. Aria decided what she wanted to wear first before she told him to wear the same colour as she wanted to take some pictures with him later in the evening.Jenna finished doing her hair and looked down at her with a smile,“You look gorgeous” she said as she twirled a few strands of her long hair and watched her put on some earrings. Aria got up from her dressing table and looked back at her,“Thanks, and I love the way you’ve done my hair” she said before she looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a nice midnight blue coloured
Aria rinsed her mouth and looked at herself in the bathroom mirror, thinking it wasn’t like her to feel sick so suddenly. She quickly fixed her lipstick and hair before she walked back to the table, where Adrian and Lucia both seemed to be having a deep conversation.“Just leave” she heard Adrian say with his eyes set on his phone. Lucia saw her walking over and quickly looked down at Adrian,“She’s coming, either you do as I say, or I’ll tell her about our little secret” she said threateningly. Adrian ignored her and looked over at Aria, thinking she looked as beautiful and fresh as she did when she left.“What a surprise” she said to Lucia with a small smile, not expecting to see her there. Lucia looked up at her,“I thought I saw you leave, how have you been?” she asked quickly, making Adrian’s frown grow. Aria sat back down on her seat and looked at her,“I’m good and yourself?” she asked with a small smile, thinking she looked a little plumper then the last time she had seen her,
Adrian turned around slowly and looked at Aria with a serious look on his face, thinking she had no idea how much danger she had put herself into by walking into the building. “I told you to wait in the car” he said quietly yet clearly. Karl looked up at him and smirked, “So, this is your girl, she’s look nice and young” he said bravely. Adrian tightened the grip he had on his throat, “Look at her again and I’ll finish you right here” he said quietly, his tone sounding cold and very dangerous. Aria shivered slightly and looked at them both, thinking maybe it was a bad idea walking inside as she suddenly felt out of place and very watched. “She’s beautiful” Karl said and that was all he had to say before Adrian slammed him to the floor as hard as he could and held him there firmly. Karl’s men got up quickly and grabbed Aria, “Kill him and she dies to” one of them said to Adrian as he held a gun to her head. Adrian looked at Aria, thinking he couldn’t risk losing her, she meant 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
