CHAPTER 361

ARIA’S POVNow that things between Adam and me seem to be on stable ground, another worry starts to creep into my mind—Adam’s business. The last few weeks have been a rollercoaster of emotions, from rediscovering our love to uncovering painful truths about the plane crash.But just as I thought we were settling into a new normal, I begin to notice signs of strain in Adam. He’s been distracted lately, his brow furrowed in concentration or worry whenever he thinks I’m not looking.One night, I wake up and realize that Adam is not beside me in bed. The room is silent except for the faint ticking of the clock, and the absence of his warmth makes the night feel colder. I slip out of bed and wrap a robe around myself, padding softly down the hallway to his study.The door is slightly ajar, and as I push it open, I see him sitting at his desk, his face buried in his hands as he massages his temples. Papers are scattered everywhere, a testament to his mounting frustration.“Adam?”I call soft

CHAPTER 362

ADAM’S POV“Adam?”As Aria steps into the study, I can feel the weight of her gaze on me. She approaches quietly, her presence a gentle reminder of the support she constantly offers. I’ve been carrying the stress of the business's decline, trying to shield her from the chaos that seems to have taken over our lives. But I can’t hide my exhaustion. My fingers are massaging my temples, trying to push away the headache that’s been growing worse with each passing day.Aria sits down beside me, her hand resting lightly on my arm. She’s always been observant, and I know she’s noticed the strain in my posture, the dark circles under my eyes from sleepless nights spent worrying about the future. I’ve been doing everything I can to stabilize the business, but nothing seems to be working. It feels like I’m fighting an invisible enemy, one that’s systematically tearing down everything I’ve built.In my mind, I replay the events of the past few weeks, trying to pinpoint where it all started to go

CHAPTER 363

ARIA’S POVAfter my recovery, I find myself restless and eager to get back to work. I need something to occupy my mind, something to distract me from the constant whirlwind of thoughts that plague me since the accident. But every time I bring up the idea of returning to work, Adam and my family members gently discourage me. They remind me of the doctor's orders, insisting that I need to take time for myself, to rest and recover fully from the head injury.They mean well, I know that, but they don't understand how staying idle like this is slowly driving me crazy. My thoughts keep circling back to the gaps in my memory, to the pieces of my life that I can't quite put together. I feel like I'm grasping at shadows, trying to make sense of something that just slips through my fingers. The frustration of it all is unbearable.Adam, always trying to find a way to help, suggests I focus on my paintings instead. He reminds me that I have some unfinished pieces that I could work on. It’s a goo

CHAPTER 364

ARIA’S POVI decide to visit my dad, hoping to find some comfort in his familiar presence and maybe even some answers to the questions that have been haunting me. When I arrive at his house, I find him in his study, deeply engrossed in a stack of reports spread out on his desk.His brow is furrowed in concentration, and I can see the tension in his shoulders. It seems that he, like Adam, is facing some business-related issues.From the papers scattered across his desk, I catch glimpses of financial statements, market analyses, and project timelines. It’s clear that something isn’t going according to plan. I can tell that the numbers don’t look good, and the furrowed lines on his face confirm my suspicion.He seems to be facing a downturn in the business, just like Adam. Perhaps it's a broader market trend or some kind of industry-wide issue that’s affecting both of them. Either way, the sight of my father so stressed over his work worries me.Despite his obvious concerns, Dad looks up

CHAPTER 365

ADAM’S POVI sit in my office, surrounded by the remnants of what was once a bustling, successful business. The silence is deafening, broken only by the rhythmic clicking of my pen against the desk. My mind is a whirlwind of confusion and anger. I can't believe what's happening. I mutter, almost pleading with the empty room."This can’t be happening. Not now, not after everything I've put into this."In just a week, everything has fallen apart. Projects that were supposed to secure my business’s future have been yanked away without any explanation. Contracts are suddenly terminated, and prospective clients have vanished. It feels like everything I've built is crumbling before my eyes, and I’m left grasping at the pieces, trying to hold them together.I grab my phone, my hands trembling slightly as I dial my assistant’s number. Each ring feels like an eternity, stretching out the already unbearable tension. When he finally answers, his voice is tight with concern."Any updates?""I’ve

CHAPTER 366

ARIA’S POVThe days seem to stretch endlessly, and the nights feel even longer. Lately, Adam has been distant, his mind consumed by the relentless pressures of his business. I understand it’s because of the stress he's under, but it still hurts. We’ve stopped going on dates, his meals have become sparse, and the intimacy we once shared has dwindled.Tonight, I’ve decided to take matters into my own hands. I want to remind him of the life we share outside of work, to help him unwind and forget about the mounting pressures that have been driving him to the brink. As his wife, it’s my responsibility to offer support and comfort, to ensure that business doesn’t overshadow our personal lives.I spend the afternoon preparing a special dinner, something I know he’ll enjoy. I make his favorite dishes, setting the table with candles and soft music to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The scent of the meal fills the house, and I hope it will be a comforting escape for him.When Adam walks thr

CHAPTER 367

ADAM’S POVThe morning light filters through the blinds, casting a warm glow over the office as I step inside. The contrast between the hectic, cluttered state of my workspace and the calm, clear-headed feeling within me is striking. Last night with Aria has reignited something in me—an energy and clarity that I desperately needed. I feel a renewed sense of purpose and determination as I sift through the day’s reports.These days, I need to be at the office. Hence, I prefer heading there to pursue my investigation. It’s best to be away from Aria, since I don’t want her to be worried. The more I delve into the financials and updates, the more I realize the gravity of our situation. It’s not just my company that’s struggling. Aria’s family businesses are also experiencing severe setbacks.It dawns on me that this isn’t just a series of unfortunate events; there’s a coordinated effort to destabilize us. The pattern becomes clear—our common adversary is systematically undermining us, driv

CHAPTER 368

ADAM’S POVThe weight of recent events presses heavily on my mind as I reflect on the current state of affairs. Dave Wilson’s complete focus on Aria has become increasingly apparent, and with it, doubts about his commitment to salvaging his business have grown.While his dedication to his daughter is entirely understandable, I can’t shake the nagging concern that he might have resigned himself to abandoning the company altogether. His actions, seemingly devoted solely to supporting Aria, leave me feeling uneasy about whether he still possesses the resolve needed to fight for the survival of his business.Adding to this worry is the troubling possibility that Neal and Nathan might hold me responsible for the deteriorating situation. The memory of how Ethan’s parents were abruptly sent away from my house due to my frustration still lingers in my mind.At that moment, my priority was Aria’s well-being, and I admit that my desperation to protect her may have led me to overreact.

They have always been concerned about me, and today is no different.“Just passing by to see our lovely sister.”They say they’re here to check if I need anything, to see if I’m doing alright. I appreciate their concern, but I reassure them that I’m fine—actually, I’m more than fine. I’m alright and happy, and I want them to see that for themselves.We settle into the living room, the warmth of the space reflecting the familial bond that we share. We talk over tea and biscuits, our conversation flowing easily from one topic to another. We laugh about old memories, share updates on what’s been happening in our lives, and discuss plans for the future. For a while, it feels like things are back to normal, or at least as normal as they can be under the circumstances.The air is light, filled with a sense of ease that has been missing for a w

CHAPTER 370

ADAM’S POVAfter inviting Neal and Nathan to join me in my study, I can't help but notice Aria's expression of awkwardness and sadness. I know she must feel excluded from whatever discussion is about to take place. However, this isn't a conversation she should be involved in, especially when it concerns Ethan and his family. Her well-being is my priority, and protecting her from these distressing matters is crucial.As soon as Neal and Nathan step into the study, I can see the tension in their posture and the worry etched across their faces. They’re anxious, and it's clear that they’re bracing themselves for whatever I have to say.I begin by recounting the last time the Mitchells showed up here, desperate for answers and firing questions at Aria about Ethan. The way they cornered her, making her more confused and agitated, was too much to bear. I had to intervene quickly to prevent things from escalating further. But my actions have had repercussions.I explain how my confrontation w
