All Chapters of My uncle, My mate: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

ARIA'S POV; Now, I've wished for nothing more than for the ground to swallow me up. I had thought it was just going to end with Ronald not trying to act remorseful even in front of my mother, but what I wasn't expecting was his sudden outburst of the truth. "What?" My mum whispered, her tears long gone while she turned to him, before turning back to look at me. Though, she seemed like she had asked to hear properly but the words written in her eyes were only telling me not to give her the answer she didn't want to hear. Her eyes sparkled intently, pleading to me not to give her the answer she didn't want. "You heard me right. What makes you think I'll let you leave with my mate?" Ronald asked again, only making things worse than they already were. Immediately, I turned to stare at him, blinking rapidly, and stylishly waving my fingers at him, in hopes that he'd stop whatever it was he was doing but instead, he only stared on, pretending not to have seen me doing any of that

Aria's pov; Being in here for the second time only brought back memories of the first time I had been in Damien's house. On that day, I had been to anxious about learn the ropes of strip dancing that I hadn't really taken in how his home looked like but now, as he drove into his compound with the huge white painted gates automatically closing behind us, my mouth remained open due to the shock of seeing the sight in front of me. I hadn't really thought that there was going to be a day, or anytime soon when I'll be fortunate enough to get into a compound like this. Yet, it felt so surreal and I could feel my mother's nervousness as she sat beside me. Her sweaty palm found mine, holding them tightly while I kept my eyes on how hugely built and beautifully decorated the mansion in front of me was. "Why are you surprised? This isn't the first time you're coming to my home, is it?" With his hand on the wheel and a smile on his face, Damien softly laughed. Now, I would ha

Aria's pov; And in the span of a few seconds, the atmosphere in the living room seemed to have gone down to a freezing point. To make sure I wasn't the only one who was insane, I turned to look at Damien and was glad to see the same expression I had on his face. Neither my mother, who was raging with anger, nor his parents looked as surprised as we were. No matter how hard I tried to think about what must be going on here, it was difficult to follow along when there were three adults having a 'conversation' like sworn enemies, with one - my mother, seeming like she couldn't wait to have the others heads off. It had come as a surprise seeing my mother like this and at the same time, difficult to believe. Swallowing, I could already feel my head pounding in pain again and the scent of Damien's parents, most especially, his mother's scent which seemed oddly familiar wasn't helping matters. I took a deep breath and closed my two eyes as I raised my two hands akimbo, "Can some

Aria's pov;After everything I've experienced since yesterday, tonight was the night I've been anticipating so I could cool off and not think too much about everything. Knowing I was still working in the club that was the enemies turf had a bitter taste in my mouth. It was one thing to be pissed and not willing to talk to the cause of it, then it was another thing to be able to avoid them at all cause- even knowing fully well that you could survive on your own. As I sat before the mirror in the backstage room, I wasn't as nervous as the first time and I would have sworn I was too perfect at this, for someone who had only started two weeks back. "Wow, I can't believe you're the same shy lady I was giving pieces of advice to on her first night," laughed Daisy, a smile on her otherwise pale face. The only reason I was the only one entertaining the whole of the audience was because the other strippers and dancers like me had all come down with a flu due to a misuse of spray. Daisy,

Aria's pov; Rover had gone back to behind the stage and as I began to move my limbs around the pole, pushing my cloth lightly to show off my shoulder, I couldn't help but think about why he suddenly came out to announce that. Looking at Ronald's posture, I felt like there was no way he would have struck that kind of deal with Rover in the first place. Then, why had the latter come to make such terrifying announcement when there hadn't been any prior plan? The more I thought of it, the more it didn't make sense and it was beginning to feel like I was in someone else's game, going according to his plans. The thought of it had me shivering but I didn't get too far into my thoughts because the particularly energetic audience were ready to possibly spend and yell out their lungs. The first tip began with a hundred dollars and the corner of my lips lifted before facing them back. I moved my gaze away from them, only to stare at Ronald but my shock was inevitable upon real
