Aria Brooks thought she was living the dream—married to a successful businessman and finally escaping her tragic past. But her world comes crashing down when Ethan serves her divorce papers at their anniversary party, humiliating her before their friends and family. Thrown out into the rain, she’s rescued by none other than Julian Huxley—her ex-husband’s billionaire rival. Julian offers Aria a shocking proposal: a contract marriage. In exchange for acting as a mother to his daughter and accompanying him on his public endeavors, he will cover her mother’s medical bills and provide financial security. Hesitant but desperate, Aria agrees. But as she navigates the dangerous waters of their agreement, she begins to uncover secrets that threaten her newfound stability—and her heart.

TEMPTING THE TYCOON Chapter 24
I was taken aback when Gabriela asked, "Did my mom ask about me?" Her voice was laced with a mix of sadness and longing.I hesitated, unsure of how to respond. "No, Gabriela, I haven't spoken to her yet. But I'll try to reach out to her, okay?"Gabriela's eyes welled up with tears, and she whispered, "Please tell her I want to see her."My heart went out to this little girl, and I knew I had to make it happen. "I'll find a way, Gabriela. I promise. But I have to warn you, your dad might not be okay with it."Gabriela's face fell, but I quickly reassured her, "Don't worry, I'll figure something out. You will see your mom, okay?"Gabriela nodded, and we shared a hug.Fast-forward to my visit to the mental asylum, I was surprised to find Lauren looking more cognizant and better than I expected. She didn't seem like someone who belonged in a mental asylum.I explained to Lauren that Gabriela wanted to see her, but Lauren was adamant, "I don't want to see her. She's a reminder of my past w

I stormed into Julian's room, my heart racing with every step. "Julian, we need to talk," I said, my voice firm but laced with a hint of desperation.Julian looked up from his book, a mixture of curiosity and concern etched on his face. "What's wrong, Aria?"I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. "I found out about Lauren," I said, my eyes locked on his. "Your ex-wife, Gabriela's mother. She's been in a mental asylum, Julian. How could you keep this from me?"Julian's expression changed, a hint of guilt flashing across his face. "Aria, I—""No, Julian, don't try to justify it," I cut him off, my voice rising. "How could you keep this from me? Didn't you think I had the right to know?"Julian sighed, rubbing his temples. "Aria, Lauren...she just started to unravel, okay? She became paranoid, delusional...it was like she lost herself."I shook my head, my mind racing with the implications. "She didn't just lose herself, Julian. Something pushed her to that point. And I think

Who was behind this message?, and what did they mean by saying that Gabriella's mother had gone mad?Thinking of the mother of the girl I call daughter, going mad was not a particularly pretty picture in my head.“Why has Julian not deemed it fit to talk about this?” I asked myself.I decided to hire a private investigator to look into the matter. I couldn't just sit back and do nothing, not when my own sanity was being questioned.As I waited for the PI to get back to me, I tried to go about my daily routine as normally as possible. But it was hard to pretend that everything was fine when I was secretly seething with anxiety.Julian noticed that I was on edge, but I brushed it off, telling him that I was just stressed about some work-related issues."You're working too hard, Aria, have you been painting all night again?" he said, concern etched on his face. "You need to take it easy."I forced a smile, trying to reassure him. "I'm fine, Julian. Really."But the truth was, I was far f

I knew I had to be careful. Whoever was behind the creepy gifts and Clara's suspicious behavior was clearly inside the house, watching me. I couldn't let my guard down, not even for a moment."Vivian, I need your help," I said, trying to sound calm, as I called my sister. "I need to get out of here for a while. Can you help me plan a vacation?""Of course, Aria," Vivian replied. "What's going on? You sound really stressed.""I just need a break, Vivian," I said, trying to downplay the situation. "I'll tell you all about it later, okay?"Vivian agreed, and we started making plans. We decided to take my mom with us, and Vivian chose a beautiful resort in Ibiza."I'm so excited, Aria," Vivian said, as we finalized the plans. "This is just what you need. A little rest and some quality time with Mom.""I know, Vivian," I replied. "Thanks for doing this. I really appreciate it."When I told Julian about the vacation, he agreed readily."Take the card I gave you and use it to pay for everyth

I stared out the window, watching as the city bustled below. My mind, however, was elsewhere. “Aria, you keep getting lost. These past few days have been full if you are drifting off,” My mom woke me up from my reverie."I'm telling you, Mom, I'm fine," I said, trying to reassure her. We'd been shopping, had lunch together, and even taken her to the doctor for a check-up. She was getting better, slowly but surely. And we were getting closer like I hoped. "But Aria, I can see the worry in your eyes," my mom replied, her voice laced with concern. "You can't fool me, dear. What's going on with you and Julian? Does it have to do with the pictures from the other day?"I shook my head, “No, those pictures are of his therapist. And they were sent by Ethan and his accomplice, Vanessa. You might not know her but she’s so evil. Take it from me.” I said“Why would Ethan involve himself with someone evil?” She asked, puzzled.“Mom, the truth is that Ethan is not a good person. I can’t really ex

I stormed into Julian's study, the picture and the dead raccoon clutched in my hand. I slammed them down on his desk, making him jump."What is this?" he shouted, his eyes wide with surprise. "Why are you carrying a dead raccoon around? And what's the picture of me and my therapist doing with you?"I glared at him. "This came from your mistress, Vanessa," I spat. "I'm so tired of her meddling in our lives. I'm not finding it funny anymore."Julian's expression changed from surprise to amusement. "Oh, it's so cute that you actually feel some sort of jealousy when it comes to my relationship with other women," he said, chuckling. "I find it very cute. I think you're beginning to have intense feelings for me."I scoffed. "Please, just tell your mistress to stop harassing me," I said, trying to walk out of the study.But Julian was too quick. He caught my arm and pulled me back. "Don't go," he said, his voice low and husky. "I'm not having an affair with my therapist, Aria. I promise you

JULIAN’s POVI walked into the room, My eyes locked on Aria's, filled with a deep longing for forgiveness. I knew i had overstepped, sending five bodyguards to her sister's college without consulting her first. I could see the anger still simmering in her eyes, but he was determined to make things right."Aria, I'm so sorry," i said, my voice low and sincere. "I know I overreacted, and I promise it won't happen again. From now on, I'll always inform you before making any decisions, no matter how small they may seem."Aria's expression softened slightly, but she still looked wary. I took a step closer, my hands reaching out to her."I know I have a tendency to want to control everything, especially when it comes to your safety," I continued. "But it's only because I'm scared, Aria. I'm scared of losing you, of something happening to you. And I know that if anything happens to the people you love, it will affect you deeply."Aria's eyes searched mine, and I could see the tension in her

Julian!” I screamed louder so that he would wake up.“Why are you shouting, Aria?” Julian asked in a disgruntled voice. He was obviously still disoriented from sleep.“Julian, I thought we talked about this? Why are these men at my room door?” I shouted “ I gave them the order yesterday before I came into your room. I’m sorry, I forgot to call them off.” He apologized.“Now call them off.” I ordered as I stormed down the stairs to the kitchen.“Miss Aria?” A small sweet voice called me.“Good morning, sweetheart.” I picked Gabriella from the ground.“I’m almost ready for school…” she announced.“I can see that. And I can also see that you’re not so happy this morning, can you tell me about it?” I asked as I placed her on my hip and headed for the dining room.“It’s her…” she whispered and pointed to her nanny.I furrowed my brows “what did she do?” “She was shouting at me…” a tear dropped from eyes.“Why?” I asked.“Because I said I do not want to go to school today and she was har

Officer, I don’t get it. I’ve been sitting here for almost an hour and nothing has been said to me. Why’s nobody talking to me? Can someone tell me if the guys trailing me have been caught?“Well the truth is that they were never really after you.” an officer said.“What do you mean? If they weren’t after me, then who were they after?” A thought immediately came to my mind. “Were they after Gabriella? My daughter? Were they after my daughter, officer? Why are you guys so calm about this?” I panicked and shouted at them.“Calm down, ma’am..” an officer said.I was one step away from giving him a slap. “Don’t tell me to calm down. Some months ago there was a break in and my daughter’s room was vandalized. If she’s at risk then I need to be informed.”A female police officer came forward “She’s not—“ “Daddy!” Gabriella’s voice diverted all our attention to Julian who just worked in.“How are you, my doll?” Blake asked as he picked her up.“Hi babe” he said and planted a kiss on my lips.

Aria's POV My eyes zoned in on my laptop screen as I searched for a hall to celebrate my fourth anniversary with my husband, Ethan . Next, tomorrow was the set date. I had already hired the best caterer in the state and one of the most famous bartenders. It was guaranteed to be spot on. “Perfect,” I muttered, saving a picture of the hall for reference later. Ethan and I always celebrated our marriage anniversary with a huge banquet, and this year, it was no different. Every single social elite in town would attend, so I had to make sure everything was prim and proper. The unmistakable perch of Louisa's heels on the tiles drew closer as she approached the dining room with her mom sauntering behind. The smug look on their face was seen beneath the white chandelier. “Sign it bitch.” Louisa slammed the brown envelope on the white marble table, the thud snapping my thoughts out of my head. My neck craned and my eyes flickered between the envelope, Louisa, and Tracy. “Wha...
