Alexander suddenly broke the silence. “Let’s go down for breakfast. Grandma should be expecting us by now,” he said, his voice steady and calm.“Yes,” Aria responded quickly, nodding as she pushed back the blanket.Getting out of bed, she froze as she realized this wasn’t her room. Her gaze darted around the unfamiliar space, and her cheeks flushed when she recalled how she ended up there. They needed to freshen up before stepping out, but the thought of sharing the room and perhaps the bathroom with Alexander made her fidget nervously.“Uhm... are you using the bathroom first, or should I?” she asked, flustered, her fingers nervously brushing her hair behind her ear.“You can go first,” Alexander replied, his tone calm as he cleared his throat, his gaze briefly flicking to her flustered expression.Aria nodded, grabbed her toiletries, and practically dashed into the bathroom as though her life depended on it. Alexander watched her retreating form, a smirk tugging at the corners of hi

The door opened and Aria jolted from the spot she was standing. She didn’t think anyone was behind her when she had damn near sprinted to the ladies room. As she looked up startled to see who had entered, it was Jessica.She could never catch a break from Jessica at all, like a bone in her neck. She stood in the doorway, her shimmery dress shined under the bright lights in wealth. She looked at Aria amused and irritated at the same time, she smiled in mockery. “Well, well, well, take a look at the talk of the night.” Jessica said with no approval in her voice. Her stiletto heels clicked dangerously as she slowly approached Aria. “Or should I say the woman of the moment? Seeing as your time in these circles will simply be fleeting…” Aria knew what this was, another show of dominance by Jessica but she was too scared to think about Jessica. If Jessica could get into the ladies room so easily despite the bodyguard then maybe the person who sent the note may be able to as well. Aria tr

Alexander stood by the door, his hand resting on the cool brass handle as he tried to steady his breathing. His gaze lingered on Aria, who was still on the bed, Her cheeks were flushed, her lips slightly swollen from the kiss they just shared. Every part of him wanted to close the distance between them, to pull her back into his arms and explore the emotions she stirred within him. Her scent lingered in the air, a sweet temptation that was almost impossible to resist.Her lips, soft and inviting, called to him, and the look she gave him was enough to make him crave more. He wanted to close the distance between them, to touch her again, to lose himself in the softness of her skin. But he couldn’t. He knew he couldn’t. With a sharp intake of breath, Alexander pulled the door open and walked out briskly, leaving Aria behind.As he made his way to his home office, his mind raced. What am I doing? he asked himself for the hundredth time. This wasn’t part of the plan. He had entered this co

Dr. Hensley had to get in touch with Ethan but there was no way to do that when Ethan was detained in police custody. He had pondered on the best person to help him in his quest for Aria. Then he had the brilliant idea that all he needed was the man who was also after Aria but it would take a lot of time to get Ethan out because he was already charged with attempted kidnapping and assault. His only chance would be to get someone to make sure Ethan got out without it being traced back to him. After hours of pondering, an idea struck him. Ethan wasn’t just a pawn; he was an asset. And while it would take time, it was worth ensuring Ethan's release. He picked up his phone and made a call. His instructions were clear: make Ethan’s release happen, but leave no trail leading back to him. --- Meanwhile, back in the Sinclair's residence, Aria found herself staring at a neatly wrapped gift package on the small table in her room. It hadn’t been there earlier, and her curiosity piqued when she

Lucas couldn’t wait, he sent a car straight to Jessica’s home. His only thought was what Mr Alexander was going to do after he finished reading the messages between Jessica and the Housekeeper, he had placed the compiled information on Alexander’s desk before sending off one of the drivers. By the time Lucas returned to meet Alexander, he was damn near fuming with rage. He was red in the face. “Lucas, are these real? How the hell does Jessica have our home staff under her fingertips? This was happening under our noses the whole time. She could have asked for something even more bizarre if she had the chance. “Sir, I believe greed is the only answer to that question. As you know, we pay the staff the exact amount as recorded… so if this happens then it is simply because she is not content.” He said as a matter of fact. “Prepare for Jessica, I’m going to need the following things on this list, Lucas.” He knew Jessica was a handful, but how would she be so involved as to believe tha
