CHAPTER 431

ARIA’S POVEver since that night when Aria stormed out after the candlelit dinner, she has been avoiding me like the plague. I’ve tried to give her space, respecting her decision to pull away, but it’s eating me alive not knowing where she is or what she’s doing. I can’t ask Dave or her brothers either; they would just brush me off or make things worse between us.So, I’ve been in the dark, pacing in circles, worrying that she might have ventured into something dangerous. I know Aria, and she doesn’t sit still for long. She’s bold and stubborn, and with the number of enemies we’ve accumulated, I can’t rest. It feels like she’s surrounded by threats, and I’m powerless to protect her from them.Meanwhile, I’ve been trying to stay focused on the mission at hand; finding Ethan, Connor, or anyone who might have survived the jet crash. I’ve thrown every resource I have into the search, but we keep coming up empty.Each day that passes without news feels like another weight on my chest. I ca

CHAPTER 432

ARIA’S POVAs I step into my hotel room, my mind is consumed by thoughts of Ethan, dragging me back to memories I had pushed away for so long. I remember that night vividly—how Ethan had asked me to play the role of his girlfriend at Lydia’s engagement party.I hadn’t known what I was signing up for at the time, but I had agreed. We ended up in the middle of an extravagant celebration, Lydia glowing in her lies, parading around with her new fiancé—a rich, gullible guy who had no idea what he was getting into.It had all started when Ethan discovered that Lydia had swindled three hundred dollars from his credit card and ghosted him afterwards. She had moved on to snaring this wealthy man, claiming she was pregnant with his child.The guy, decent and unsuspecting, had taken her word for it, quickly arranging their engagement and even planning a wedding. But Ethan couldn’t let that lie stand. He was furious, not just because of the money, but because Lydia was playing this man the same w

CHAPTER 433

ETHAN’S POVI can't shake the strange encounter with the woman who called herself Aria. The whole scene plays over and over in my mind like a movie I can't turn off. She had approached me with a mix of excitement and relief, as if she'd just found something she had lost for a long time.At first, I thought she might need help. Maybe she had mistaken me for someone else, but then things got… intense.She grabbed my arm, practically pulling me out of my seat, her grip tightening like she’d never let go and the way she looked at me—her eyes wide with disbelief—calling me Ethan. I kept telling her, over and over, my name is Aiden, but she wouldn’t listen. For a moment, I could see the desperation in her eyes, the hurt mixed with hope, and I almost felt bad for her. Almost.Then Lydia had shown up, like some kind of savior, rushing in with her fierce protectiveness, shouting at Aria to back off. That’s when everything took a turn. People around us started whispering, looking at me like I w

CHAPTER 434

ARIA’S POVI didn’t have a great sleep after yesterday’s trauma.“How is your short vacation going, dear?”“Excellent… I love it here.”This morning, my dad calls me asking me if I am alright and how is my short vacation going. I tell him that everything is fine and that I am enjoying myself. There is so much tranquillity in Arizona. My family members do know I am in this part of the States but they don’t know my motive.Dad and I have a casual conversation and I ask Dad about the situation of our firm and if everything is alright.“Things are going okay, not yet great as before, but soon everything will pick.”After hanging up with Dad, my mind starts racing. The conversation with him felt like a reminder that I’m juggling too many secrets—secrets that could explode if handled poorly. The weight of keeping Ethan’s survival to myself is suffocating, but I can’t risk telling anyone yet. Not until I understand what’s really going on.I glance out of the window, taking in the serene Ariz

CHAPTER 435

ARIA’S POVI roam through the quaint streets of Wickenburg, Arizona, absorbing the atmosphere. This town is far from the towering skyscrapers and relentless pace of New York City, yet it carries its own charm. The sun shines brightly, casting a golden hue on everything it touches, and the air is crisp, laced with a faint scent of desert blooms. There’s a sense of timelessness here, like life moves at its own unhurried rhythm, unaffected by the outside world.The people are friendly, though not overly familiar. They smile as I pass by, tipping their hats or nodding in acknowledgement, but they don’t pry. Everyone seems to have their routine—shop owners chatting with customers, ranchers discussing livestock, and tourists snapping pictures of the town’s old Western buildings. It’s a simple life, a far cry from the chaos I left behind, but there’s something grounding about it.I stop by a small café, a local favorite judging by the crowd, and pull out my phone. Ethan’s face stares back at

CHAPTER 436

ARIA’S POVI can't believe my luck. The fisherman knows Ethan. My heart races with a mix of excitement and relief, the weight of days spent searching finally lifting. This is it—my chance to get to the bottom of everything.“Can you spare me some time to speak to you about him?”“Certainly, my dear lady.”He seems calm, as if he has seen his share of strange stories unfold, and motions for me to follow him to his boat.As we make our way to the dock, I steal glances at the old man. His weathered face tells a story of years spent battling the sun and the sea. He moves with a deliberate pace, his steps sure, as though he’s at home here among the boats and the salty air. It feels strange, almost surreal, that this fisherman holds the key to finding Ethan—the one person who could finally give me answers.We reach his small boat, a modest thing, its paint chipped and its deck scattered with ropes and fishing gear. He gestures for me to sit on the worn wooden bench near the helm, and I do,

CHAPTER 437

LYDIA’S POVI can’t believe it. Aria—of all people—is here, in this town. The same woman who, alongside Ethan, destroyed everything for me. My engagement party, my future with a wealthy and powerful man, was obliterated in a single night because of them. I remember that night so vividly, it still makes my blood boil.I was at the height of my game, about to secure a life of luxury by marrying my ex-fiancé, a man who believed I was pregnant with his child. I had played my cards perfectly—or so I thought. Ethan, my ex, and his little sidekick, Aria, showed up to the party, and before I knew it, the entire charade was exposed. They humiliated me in front of everyone, revealing my lies about the pregnancy.“Fucking bitch! Show me your face again and see what I do to you.”My ex-fiancé was livid, of course. He couldn’t get rid of me fast enough. I’ll never forget the look on his face as he threatened me, telling me that if I ever dared to show my face again, he would make me regret it. I w

CHAPTER 438

ARIA’S POVI got the address and I head directly to the place to spy on Ethan and Lydia. My first step is to observe the surrounding and checking on their movements.“Aiden, love. Shall I keep this in the bag?”“Yes, baby.”She is addressing him as Aiden, and I roll my eyes in exasperation.As I watch from my hidden spot, I can barely contain the rage boiling inside me. Ethan, living a normal life with that deceitful witch, Lydia, like they’re some kind of perfect couple. How can he not see through her lies?My heart races, each second feeling like an eternity. She’s manipulating him, keeping him trapped in this farce, and it’s beyond infuriating. Ethan’s family has no idea he’s even alive, and meanwhile, he’s here, with her, under this disgusting illusion of love.But then something changes. I notice a flurry of activity at their house. Boxes. Bags. They’re packing up. My eyes narrow, and I feel a sudden rush of panic. This isn’t just spring cleaning or a casual weekend trip—they’re

CHAPTER 439

ARIA’S POVMy stomach churns with hunger, but the idea of stepping away from my spot, even for a moment, feels out of the question. I’ve been sitting here, fixated on the house, watching every movement behind those walls. It’s like Lydia and Ethan are carrying on with their perfect little life, while I’m stuck out here, trying to figure out what to do next.I have moved too far now to catch their conversation clearly, and their voices aren’t as loud as they were before. On top of that, before they notice me, I have to make sure I keep my distance.The sight of them earlier, packing boxes, moving around like they’re planning to skip town, is enough to make my blood boil. I can’t let that happen.I need to eat, I need to think, but there’s no way I can leave the area, not even for a second. They could take off, and I’d have no idea where they would go. If I lose track of them, it could be the last time I ever see Ethan. The thought alone makes my heart race.Then, I spot a kid in the di

CHAPTER 440

ARIA’S POVI sit in my car, my eyes on the house as the night falls deeper. All the windows are dark, the curtains drawn, and not a single sign of movement inside. It’s almost midnight, and it doesn’t look like Lydia and Ethan are going anywhere tonight.Still, I can’t afford to take any risks. If I leave or let my guard down for even a second, who knows what they might do. Maybe they’ll sneak out in the early hours, slip away when no one is watching.But exhaustion is catching up to me. The rented car is spacious enough, well-equipped for a long night of waiting. I’ve pinned my location for the people I’ve summoned here—they’ll call when they’re close. I settle into the seat, finally allowing myself a moment to rest. There’s no harm in taking a quick nap while I wait.I drift off, my mind a swirl of thoughts and plans. Every scenario plays out in my head; confronting Lydia, pulling Ethan out of there, making sure he’s safe. It’s not peaceful sleep by any means, but it’s something.Ho
