CHAPTER 41

MATHEW I pressed the elevator doors closed, but just as they began to slide shut, they dinged open again—Ethan’s hand holding them back. He barely managed a step forward before I lunged, blocking him with a hard shove. “I have to get to her!” he insisted, urgency sharpening his voice. I caught his arm, pulling him back just as the doors started to close once more.“Ethan, wait!” I hissed, my grip firm. “Ariana told us to stay put. We have to trust her. If we keep pushing, we’ll only make things worse.”Ethan shot me a frustrated look, his brow furrowing. “She’s with that guy! Do you think I’m just going to sit here while he’s probably hurting her?”“Just think for a second,” I snapped, my heart pounding in my chest. “If we keep pestering her about him, she won’t have enough time to figure things out with him on her own. We need to give her space.”He paused, eyes narrowing as he crossed his arms defiantly. “Do you really enjoy this, Matthew? Do you actually like him being with our si

CHAPTER 42

MATHEW A heavy silence filled the air, thick with the weight of Ariana’s declaration. I exchanged a glance with Ethan, who looked as if he had been struck by lightning. His expression morphed from surprise to outright disbelief, and I could feel my heart drop into my stomach.“What?” Ethan blurted, his voice laced with disbelief. “Are you serious?”Ariana remained composed, but there was a defiance in her posture that I hadn’t seen before. “I am serious. We’re back together, and I’m going back to the USA with him.” Her tone was steady, the confidence in her voice contrasting sharply with the disbelief etched on our faces.Before I could fully process her words, Ethan untangled their hands, his grip firm as he dragged Ariana away from Grayson. “We need to talk,” he stated, his voice low but urgent. I followed closely behind, the tension crackling in the air as we stepped into the empty hallway.“Ari, what are you thinking?” I blurted out before Ethan could say anything. “What do you m

CHAPTER 43

ARIANA I woke up slowly, feeling the weight of exhaustion that had settled into my bones after the long journey. Blinking, I sat up and glanced around, realizing I must have fallen asleep the moment I set foot in this room. The familiar surroundings seemed both comforting and strange after so much time away. I stretched, my muscles tight, then slipped out of bed and padded over to the window.The room was dim, the shadows stretching across the walls as I reached for the heavy curtains. Sliding them aside, I was met with a view of the vast grounds outside, bathed in the silvery light of the moon. It was already night.I let out a quiet sigh, a bittersweet smile tugging at the corners of my mouth. “Who would ever think I’d miss this place?” I murmured to myself. But as much as I didn’t want to admit it, there was a strange comfort in being here again—despite everything that had happened, despite the fear and tension this place held for me.I headed into the bathroom, the cool tiles ben

CHAPTER 44

ARIANA My heart sank, and my body went rigid, unable to process the scene before me. A whirlwind of emotions surged within me—confusion, hurt, anger—all crashing together like waves in a storm. The bitter taste of betrayal filled my mouth as I watched them, their shadows tangled in the dim light.Skyler’s gaze flickered toward me, her lips curling in a smug smile, and she didn’t even attempt to hide her satisfaction. She wanted me to see this, to feel the sting of seeing Grayson’s loyalty slip through my fingers. She wanted me to hurt.Grayson finally broke away, his head turning slightly as he sensed my presence. When he spotted me, his eyes widened with shock. He stepped back from Skyler, and for a brief moment, I thought I saw a glimmer of guilt in his expression. But then his face hardened, his gaze a steely mask that shut me out.“Ariana,” he said, his voice low and steady, though I could sense the tension simmering beneath the surface. “This isn’t what it looks like.”A humourl

CHAPTER 45

GRAYSON I stormed out of the room, my steps heavy with anger, frustration, and something else I couldn’t quite name. How the hell did everything slip so far out of control? One minute, I was trying to patch things up with Ariana, and the next, I was choking her. My own hands—my own damn hands—had nearly killed her.The echo of her gasps, the terror in her eyes—it cut through me like a knife. I wanted to go back to make it right, but a part of me knew it wasn’t that simple. I wasn’t that simple.I couldn’t just let her walk away from everything I was. She wanted to control it, control me. That much was clear. She wanted me to change, to drop my past, but I wasn’t sure if I could do that—not for anyone. Especially not for her.I couldn’t breathe. The weight of everything I’d done, everything I was, pressed down on me like a crushing force. My hands were still trembling as I stepped into the hallway, the air thick with the lingering tension between Ariana and me. Her eyes haunted me, wi

CHAPTER 46

GRAYSON I stared into her eyes, the walls I’d built around myself wavering, almost crumbling under her gaze. I wanted to let her in—to let her pull me out of this twisted prison I’d trapped myself in. But what if it was too late? What if the anger and the darkness had become a part of me, too ingrained to ever escape?“I don’t know if I can,” I whispered, my voice thick with the weight of everything I felt. “I’ve spent so long being… this. Keeping control by pushing everything else away. It’s what I know, Ariana. It’s what’s kept me alive.”Her eyes softened, her fingers tracing along my jawline, grounding me in a way I hadn’t felt in years. “You don’t have to be alone in this anymore. I’m here, Grayson. I’m right here with you, and I’m not leaving, no matter how hard you push.”A surge of something unfamiliar and unsettling stirred in me—hope, maybe, or some distant thread of trust that I’d long buried. I wanted to believe her, to let myself imagine a life where I wasn’t bound by th

CHAPTER 47

ARIANA In that moment, my heart skipped a beat. The words he spoke were raw, vulnerable in a way I hadn’t expected. The man standing beside me, the one who had everything—power, wealth, control—was now revealing a side of himself I hadn’t known existed. His voice trembled slightly, and I noticed how his hands gripped the railing, his knuckles whitening as if he was holding himself back from something deeper. His confession hung between us like a heavy fog, thick and suffocating.I stood still, trying to process everything he’d just shared. I’d always known there was more to Grayson than what he let on, but this… this was different. He wasn’t just the intimidating man I’d met. He wasn’t just the cold billionaire. He was someone who had carried the weight of his past for so long, someone who was afraid to let anyone close enough to see the truth.My heart ached for him, more than I could put into words. I couldn’t imagine living with the burden of those words of that past. I didn’t kn

CHAPTER 48

ARIANA I sat at the small dining table in the kitchen, watching Grayson with wide eyes as he moved around the room with surprising ease. The soft scent of garlic, rosemary, and onions filled the air, and I couldn’t help but smile at the sight of him wearing an apron, his normally pristine attire now replaced by something more... domestic. He was flipping the steak in a pan, his brow furrowed in concentration, but there was a certain grace in his movements, a calmness I hadn’t expected from a man who usually exuded power and control.The sight of him in such an ordinary setting—cooking, of all things—had me mesmerised. I leaned back slightly in my chair, my hands folded in my lap, taking in the unexpected beauty of the moment. "You’re full of surprises," I said, the words slipping out before I could stop them. My voice was light, but there was an undercurrent of genuine admiration in it. "I never knew you could even cook."Grayson turned to face me, and for a moment, our eyes locked.

CHAPTER 49

MATHEW I stepped out of the bathroom, drying my hair with a small towel. Ethan was still by the window, his gaze fixed outside just as I had left him before my shower. "That won't help," I said, walking over to join him. My eyes followed his line of sight, landing on Florence—the woman he believed to be our aunt. "If she really was our aunt, she would’ve recognized me the day I arrived. But she didn’t. Not even you, Ethan. She didn’t seem to know you either." "She’s pretending," Ethan said firmly, his tone laced with conviction. "I know her. That’s exactly how she is." I sighed, shaking my head as I moved away to get dressed. "People can look alike. Just look at Ari—how much she resembles that girl." Ethan ignored me, his posture rigid as he remained glued to the window. Once I was dressed, I returned and pulled him away, practically dragging him toward the stairs. "What are you doing, Matthew?" he protested, his voice edged with confusion. "Talking to Florence," I replie

CHAPTER 50

ARIANA I wandered around the house slowly, hugging myself as I took one last look at the place that had somehow transformed into a haven of warmth and memories. Each corner seemed to hold a story—the way the sunlight filtered through the windows in the mornings, the cosy evenings by the fire, and the quiet moments where everything felt… perfect. A small smile curved on my lips as I thought about how much I had enjoyed every moment in this place. As I lingered by the door, Grayson came into view, carrying the last of our bags. His stride was confident, as always, but there was something softer in his expression when he spotted me standing there. “You’re not in the car,” he remarked, stopping to set the bags down near the trunk. I turned to him, still smiling. “I was just… enjoying the view one last time.” He studied me for a moment before a tender smile graced his face. He moved to the trunk, carefully placing the bags inside before closing it with a quiet thud. Then, w
