CHAPTER 381
ARIA’S POVThe Mitchells’ intense stares feel like a weight pressing down on me, each glance a wordless demand for an explanation I cannot give. I don’t understand why they’re looking at me like this, why they expect me to have answers about Ethan, their son—someone I don’t even remember meeting. If he was involved in our business, his face is lost to me now, just another forgotten face in a sea of confusion.I try to push the discomfort aside as I turn to Stella, needing some clarity. When I mention Ethan, her reaction is immediate and unmistakable—her face flushes the same way Adam’s did the other day.“I hope they don’t ask me about Ethan again!”“Shh… Better not to speak about him here.”She leans in, whispering urgently that now isn’t the time or place to talk about Ethan. Her tone is sharp, almost pleading, as she tells me that whatever happened to Ethan has nothing to do with me and that I should avoid speaking with his parents. Her words leave me more bewildered than before, h

ARIA’S POVAs I walk through the door, a comforting wave of familiarity washes over me, a stark contrast to the unease I felt at the event earlier. Adam’s presence is a beacon of normalcy in the midst of the chaos. He looks at me with a mixture of concern and curiosity, his eyes searching mine as if he’s trying to decipher my emotions before I even begin to speak.“How was your evening, love?”I recount the evening with a sense of detachment, relaying the highlights of the fashion show and how Stella, with her usual flair, had asked me to be the show-stopper at her next event. There’s a genuine thrill in my voice as I talk about the opportunity, but it’s tinged with an undercurrent of anxiety, an anxiety that only deepens as I bring up the Mitchells.The moment I mention them, Adam’s demeanor shifts dramatically. His face, usually so composed, becomes an open book of anxiety. His eyes widen slightly, and he visibly tenses. It’s as if he’s bracing himself for something dreadful. The ro

ADAM’S POVThe house feels quieter tonight without Aria, almost too quiet. I sit in the living room, trying to focus on the television, but my mind is elsewhere. It’s a relief, in a way, to have her out with Stella, allowing me a few hours of reprieve from the constant need to conceal the truth. But the silence brings its own burdens. The weight of what I’m hiding hangs heavy in the air, like a storm cloud ready to burst.I never imagined that being with Aria again could feel like this—like walking a tightrope, where any wrong step could send me plunging into the abyss of our past. Every day is a delicate dance of keeping up appearances, of maintaining the façade that everything is fine, that our lives are unblemished by any shadows. However the truth is, the past is always there, lurking just beneath the surface, threatening to erupt at any moment.Aria’s presence in my life now is a gift I never thought I’d receive again. After the divorce, I was certain I had lost her forever. Thos

DONNA MITCHELL’S POVEvan and I were filled with a mix of emotions when we learned that Aria would be at the fashion show.

ARIA’S POVReaching him, I place my hands on his chest, feeling the steady beat of his heart beneath my palms. His skin is warm and firm, and I can feel the tension in his muscles as I slide my hands down his torso. I love the way his body reacts to my touch, the way he shivers slightly as my fingers trace the lines of his abs. I lean in close, my lips brushing against his ear as I whisper, feeling his breath hitch in response.I guide him back toward the bed, our bodies pressing together as I push him gently onto the soft mattress.

ARIA’S POVWe are finally home, feeling refreshed and happy after our weekend getaway. Adam is in such a good mood, and it's heartwarming to see him this way. It's been a while since I've seen him so carefree and genuinely content. I can't help but hope this new chapter in our relationship continues like this, filled with joy and tenderness.“Adam! Enough now.”This morning, Adam left for work, but not without a lingering reluctance.

ADAM’S POVAs soon as I enter our bedroom, my heart sinks. Aria is in a state of complete devastation, her body slumped against the couch, face buried in her hands. Panic surges through me as I take in the scene. What has happened? Just this morning, she was so cheerful, so full of life. Now, it’s as if the light has been snuffed out of her, and I have no idea why.I rush over to her, my mind racing with fear and confusion. Her shoulders are shaking, and I can see that she has been crying, her body wracked with silent sobs. She looks so small, so fragile, and my chest tightens at the sight of her in such pain. I call out to her, trying to reach through the fog of whatever has taken hold of her.“Aria! Aria!”I say, my voice trembling. But she doesn’t respond. Her head is in her hands, and she doesn’t even seem to hear me.

However, I don’t care. Not anymore. My chest feels like it’s going to explode with the anger boiling up inside of me.“How could you? How could you lie to me for all this time?”How could he let me believe that everything was fine, that we were okay, when all along, he was hiding the truth from me? The betrayal cuts deep, and I can’t hold back the torrent of words that come rushing out.I confront him, my voice shaking with a mix
