All Chapters of Aria's Choice: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Kneeling on the floor, patiently waiting for one of my 'owners' to arrive, I think back to almost a year ago when I was brought through the exact front door I am now kneeling in front of. Merrick had explained how things would work for the next thirty days on the drive over from the auction house. I remember feeling like a scared little girl, but little did I know that my decision to sell my virginity would be the best thing to ever happen to me. Sometimes having choices is a good thing, but it can sometimes come back to bite you in the ass. Luckily, I chose well, even if I didn't know it at the time. I remember my Sir explaining how there would be punishments but also rewards when I was a good girl and that all three would hand out the punishments. Thinking back at how I felt learning that I was to have to please not one but three men, it was nerve-racking being the virgin I was. Unbeknownst to me, one of my owners knew me very well and had already planned on being the one to clai

MERRICK “How long has this....” I snap my fingers, “What’s his name? Will? How long has he been working for us?” “A little over two months. I vetted the guy myself, Merk.” Knox responds, “He had just moved to the area, and all of his references checked out.” “So, he’s either really good at fooling us, or my parents have gotten to him since he started working for us.” Jory states. “It may very well be the latter,” I say, “Knox always does a superb job in vetting our employees.” “I’ll kill the bastard!” Jory cracks his knuckles. “Whoa, we are not the Mafia; we can’t just off people, Jor!” I chuckle. “He’s right, Jory,” Knox sighs, “Between the Moretti’s and Sandra, we can’t....” I cut him off before he finishes his sentence, putting my finger to my lips and then pointing to my ear before moving it around. There may very well be bugs planted, and I’d rather not incriminate us. It's been unspoken, but we all know who is behind the late model's suicide. K

KNOX I kiss Aria on the head and walk from the room, grinning. I'm still trying to figure out what to make of my two best friends. There is no judgment on either of them, but I'm still trying to get used to it. I can't believe we have been friends all this time, and it took Aria coming to us for Jory and Merrick to finally hook up as they do. They do seem happier, though, and that's all that matters. Walking into the nursery, I go straight to Jordan's crib since he's the one fussing. Just as I reach in to pick him up, so I can rock him, pain slices through the back of my head, and I blink back the darkness that wants to take hold, only it's a losing battle as I feel myself falling. Someone catches me and lowers me down as everything goes black. ~~~~~~~~ "What the fuck?" Jory's voice sounds far away as I begin to come to, but then I feel his hands on me, tapping my cheek, "Hey, buddy. What are you doing on the floor?" I try to sit up, but sharp pain streaks through my h

"Are these what you're waiting for?" I hold up the three passports. "What are you doing here, Aria?" My husband's question irks me just a little bit. "I'm not going to sit at home while my baby is thousands of miles away, in another country, with people he doesn't even know!" I hand him his passport before handing the other two to Jory and Merrick. "What about Jayden?" Jory asks. My hardest decision was whether to leave my other son safe at home with my mother and guards or bring him along. I chose to leave him behind since the threat is now heading to another country. It still doesn't ease my worry, but I need to get my other son back and bring him home to his brother. "It's safer to leave him with Mom, Dirk, and Ward. Damon will also send a few guys over from KMJ to secure the house while we are gone." "Baby, you should be with Jayden," Knox says, "We have this. We will bring Jordan home." "Jayden will be fine. Jordan is the one who needs me at the moment."

"Watch your step, baby," Knox says as he takes my hand and helps me step out of the jet. I stand here for a moment, looking at our surroundings before descending the stairs. Since I only threw one outfit for each of us into the suitcase, we don't have much to carry. Merrick brings up the back carrying the luggage, and we stand just inside the building to wait out of sight for the Payne's to arrive. When we see a limo pull up, we know it's there for one reason, to carry my son away. My heart races as the minutes tick by. I study each of my guys, but they are too concentrated on staring at the sky. Smiling just a bit, I think back to when I had nobody in my life except for my mother, who was still in a coma. Now I have three strong men willing to fight for and with me, who love me to no end. As I told Merrick, I can never regret making that one choice that led me to them. I should write Scarlett a Thank You letter for giving me her card that faithful night in the diner. If it
