"We are getting divorced" Aria Winchester's world shatters when her billionaire husband, Ace Kings, receives a recording that suggests she orchestrated the situation surrounding their marriage. With Ace’s long-lost love—her stepsister—back in town, Aria feels utterly betrayed. Days after their divorce, Aria discovers she’s pregnant with Ace’s child. Determined to start anew without him, she vows to raise her baby alone. Five years later, their paths cross again as Aria prepares for her big break as a successful actress with the help of her new love interest. Realizing he wants her back and is unaware of their children’s existence, Ace shows up with a marriage certificate that claims he never stopped being married to her. As secrets unravel and loyalties are tested, can Aria protect her heart and her children from the man who once shattered her world? Or would her new love interest win her over?

The unfortunate coincidence

|Aria’s POV|My heart thumped wildly in my chest as I perceived the aroma of the little feast I was preparing, wondering what would be his reaction. Will he like it or will he throw it at my face?“Signora. I am sure he would love it very much,” Elena, the head chef of my husband’s mansion assured me.“I am just so nervous, and I wanted to make it more special because it’s his birthday, But, I can’t stop feeling like I will mess it up.” I rambled.She dropped her apron, which she was adamant about wearing even if she didn't help with the preparation. “Signora, it’s perfetto!” Her Italian accent picked up my crumbled confidence.“Thank you very much, Elena. Now take your leave, Ace will be back soon.” I hurried, shoving her out of the kitchen playfully.I rubbed my hands on my apron back and forth as I checked the time, it was around 7 p.m., so he should be back already.My legs were shaking, so I decided to take a seat.“8 o’clock,” I muttered before going outside to check the drivew...

($) Aria is gone and all of a sudden you realize that she was “Devoted” to you? In my opinion i pray she doesn’t accept him back. If his idea of love is “Devotion” he should go to a church!

The familiar stranger
|Aria’s POV|I woke up with my heart drumming wildly against my ribcage. Beaded sweats started dropping from my face and my palms became sweaty. A puff of breath escaped my lips as I remembered the horrific dream I had just had.With a sigh, I sat up and swung my legs over the side of the bed. As I reached for my phone, my eyes fell on a single, sealed envelope sitting on my bedside table. A wave of dread washed over me immediately after I recognised the handwriting. With trembling hands, I tore open the envelope and pulled out a single sheet of paper.My heart pounded as I read the words, My mind racing. “No, No. This was supposed to be the horrific dream.”The letter was a divorce decree, finalizing the end of my marriage and most probably the end of my life. I felt a cold numbness creep over me while I reread the words, the reality of my situation sinking in. Tears welled up in my eyes, and I let them fall freely, my heart heavy with sorrow and disbelief as I replayed yesterday’s

The betrayal
|Aria’s POV|It was Gabriella, my step-sister!There are moments when you feel your life turning over for the worse and all you can just do is watch it happen, your tongue becomes tied and you suddenly can’t do anything but remain frozen. For me, that time is now.As I stood in Ace's office, Gabriella wore nothing but a towel, her eyes locked on Ace with unnerving familiarity. Every second felt like a spear piercing my heart. A strangled sob escaped my lips as I staggered backwards, my whole body stiffened, and the event continued to replay in my head.Memories flooded my mind: Gabriella and her mother infiltrating our lives, manipulating my father's grief after my mother's tragic fall. The staircase accident still lingered, an open wound.“Aria..” Ace’s voice pierced the silence, popping the bubble. My eyes washed over him and slid to my step-sister, unsure of who to blame.“What? Why?” I croaked out, after recovering myself from the partial dumbness that enveloped me. She and her e

The fatal mistake
|Aria’s POV|Days turned into an endless blur of grey since I had checked into the hotel. The plush surroundings of the Aria Resort felt more like a gilded cage than a sanctuary. I had chosen this place because of the homey feeling it had to it, hoping to drown my sorrows in comfort, but all it did was amplify my misery. The walls echoed my loneliness, and the silence was deafening. I had no one to turn to—not even my father, who had distanced himself further after my marriage crumbled. Not that he was accessible before, but it was worse.I lay on the bed, staring at the ceilings numbly, feeling like a ghost haunting my life. Each day got miserable and more miserable as I didn't know what to do anymore. I don't even know where to start from. There are many times I have contemplated throwing myself out of the windows. But one question I continuously ask myself is; ‘Was it worth it??’Even if I died today, it doesn't mean that Ace Kings would love me or even be remorseful about what

Glimmer of hope
|Ace Kings’ POV|“Don’t you think you might bore holes into her body if you keep on staring at the picture? “ Harper asked, strolling leisurely into my office like he owned it.“Jokes on you. I am just going over the deal that I am supposed to sign in a few weeks.” I countered, dropping my phone like a teenager who had been caught watching porn by his strict parent.“Oh really? You know, you don’t have to lie to me. I am your friend.” Harper sighed.Harper was that one friend who never knocks. He had never. I can’t count how many times he had walked in on me in a compromising position before I had gotten married.“Yeah. I am not telling lies also.” I shrugged.He waltzed in my direction as I quickly shoved my phone into my suit pocket, However, the smug look on his ugly face made me realize he had something up his sleeves.“You shouldn’t have updated your Apple devices if you planned on telling lies to me.” he shook his head before shoving the stupid Macbook which was mirroring my iPh

The big break
|Aria’s POV|As I looked at the Arena from the backstage, my mind reeled with two possibilities—What if I fail? Or what if I fall from the stage?Today is my movie premiere, the day I’ve dreamt since I decided to venture into theatrics.‘You will do well!’‘You will do well!’I rubbed my sweaty hands against the jumpsuit. Looking at people filling up the arena made me feel fulfilled and thankful that I decided to chase my dream.It’s been five years since I left the mentally exhausting relationship called marriage. A smile slowly crept up my face, remembering how much I had achieved.Sneaking up on me, Zion clutched my waist before turning my face to his. “Baby, you don’t need to be nervous. You’ve come this far. Trust me, you won’t fuck this up.” He whispered before kissing me on the lips.I leaned into his kiss, thankful for the day we met each other. Zion became my manager four years ago when I decided to take my acting career seriously.I knew he liked me from the onset, but I had

The panicked call
|Aria’s POV|“I knew you’d look stunning in the dress. I am sorry, but I am so proud that you have followed your dreams. Over the years, I have realized how stupid I was and would love to make things right…See you soon, my wife.” The letter Ava had given me kept on replaying in my mind. It was like a persistent migraine that refused to stop, even as I tried to get my mind off it.Brushing my arms lightly, Zion breathed, “Babe, are you okay?”My eyelids fluttered as I snapped my attention from the chandelier looming above the ceiling in my room to Zion’s concerned face.My black silky hair bounced lightly while bobbing my head. However, that did little to nothing to ease his concern as his brows hiked up to his hairline.My lips curved upwards lightly. “I just thought about how the premiere happened and how people showed up. I didn’t believe we could pull it like that,” I said. It wasn’t a lie, but it wasn’t totally the truth as well. However, I am not ready to talk about Ace Kings.

The familiar acquaintance
|Aria’s POV|Ace Kings!Gritting my teeth, my eyes blazing fury “Don’t tell me it is who I think it is?”Walking out of the room with clenched fists, “Does he think he can just waltz into my life like he fucking owned it after years of not caring?” I boomed.A cackle escaped my lips at the whole thing happening. “Why does he suddenly care about me?”“Is it because he thinks I would not make it in life after doing all of those myself? He thought I wouldn’t survive without my family’s help.” I scoffed in disbelief.I paused to catch my breath “Do you know what happened today? The children asked for their father. I hope he remains the ghost he has been for years.” I snarled.My voice broke, and my lips quivered, “D-do you know how hard I struggled to build and get to where I am? He doesn’t deserve to just come into my life and act like we were a couple that decided to take a break,” I croaked out.Walking further away from the children, “He cheated on me with my sister and had me sign a d

The threat
A slow smile spread across my lips as I looked at Mr and Mrs Russo swaying to the music. Oh, how I wish I had what they had.My heart ached as I watched their grey streaks bounce around as they dominated the dance floor. Suddenly, I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder. It was Zion standing in a green three-piece tuxedo, grinning as he bowed dramatically for a dance.It was hard to say no because of how alluring he always looked. Especially when he smiled, it wasn’t anything I was used to. This wasn’t the usual smirk I got from Ace, this was a genuine smile that made butterflies appear in my heart.“May I have this dance?” He whispered.A slow smile crept onto my face. “How could I say no? We are in the middle of an ocean, and many sharks would pounce on you the moment I say no,” I chuckled.My skin crawled with awareness at the number of gazes that were on us. He gripped my hands and led us to the dance floor, close to the old couples I was previously watching. We danced to “Lover” by Ta

The harsh reality
|Ace’s POV|“It’s too late. I hate you and want nothing to do with you.”Her words echoed in my head as I drove my fist into the wall repeatedly. My misery intensified as I remembered how broken she looked just talking to me.It couldn’t be more evident that she despised me and hated my existence. I clutched my head in pain as Aria’s words hovered in my head like an evil bird. I was a planner but failed to make a plan for the pain I felt after her hate declaration for me.I winced as I remembered the words I had said to her five years ago after I listened to the recording that got into my head.I roared, and my agonized voice pierced through the four walls of the ladies restroom. Picking up what was left of myself, I walked out of the restroom and made my way straight to the ball's exit.Not trusting myself not to make a scene if I see them together. But I am a hypocrite, aren’t I??Aria watched me sleep with her sister and still wanted us to resolve the whole thing, but I could barel
