Julian’s POV“Sir you can’t go in…He’s in a meeting…” that was all the chaos I could hear before I burst into Ethan’s Office.I immediately seized him by the shirt. “What the hell is wrong with you?! Why do you keep pushing me to the wall?” I shouted at him.A scrawny young girl fled the office, fixing her blouse as she ran out. I smirked.“How would the world love to know that their heroic impeccable businessman sleeps with young interns?” I whispered in his ears.His breath hitched.He glanced at his secretary. “Leave us.” “Will you release my neck now so that we can talk like civilized people?”I let him go and sat on his sofa. I poured myself a cup of wine.“Mmm…this is fine wine you’ve got here. As sweet as the girl who just left here, I’m sure.” I sipped on the wine.He just stared at me.After I had sipped to my fill, I dropped the glass on the table so loudly you might think it shattered.“I know that you’ve been the ones sending threats to Aria. I know we have settled the

CHAPTER“So this is where you live now?” My mom asks.“Yes, Mom, thanks for visiting.” I set a glass of milk on the table for her.“Hmm, you sure do have eyes for nice things. This house is grander than your husband’s.” She sipped a bit of the milk.“Mom, I am married to Julian now.” I crossed my hands and placed them on my lap.“Oh forgive me, I can hardly keep up. How many husbands in the space of five years now?” She smiled.I forced a smile back.“He sure has more money that can make a woman cheat on her husband who has stood by her for so many years” she continued.“Mom—““I never trained you to be this promiscuous and greedy. I surely don’t behave like this, neither does your sister, Vivian.” She doesn’t give me a chance to speak.“I’m glad that you’re now well, mom and able to move around but I didn’t cheat on Ethan, neither did I leave him.” I moved closer to her and placed my hands on hers.“Ethan left me, he served me a cold divorce. His family never liked me anyways. But th

Officer, I don’t get it. I’ve been sitting here for almost an hour and nothing has been said to me. Why’s nobody talking to me? Can someone tell me if the guys trailing me have been caught?“Well the truth is that they were never really after you.” an officer said.“What do you mean? If they weren’t after me, then who were they after?” A thought immediately came to my mind. “Were they after Gabriella? My daughter? Were they after my daughter, officer? Why are you guys so calm about this?” I panicked and shouted at them.“Calm down, ma’am..” an officer said.I was one step away from giving him a slap. “Don’t tell me to calm down. Some months ago there was a break in and my daughter’s room was vandalized. If she’s at risk then I need to be informed.”A female police officer came forward “She’s not—“ “Daddy!” Gabriella’s voice diverted all our attention to Julian who just worked in.“How are you, my doll?” Blake asked as he picked her up.“Hi babe” he said and planted a kiss on my lips.

JULIAN’s POVI walked into the room, My eyes locked on Aria's, filled with a deep longing for forgiveness. I knew i had overstepped, sending five bodyguards to her sister's college without consulting her first. I could see the anger still simmering in her eyes, but he was determined to make things right."Aria, I'm so sorry," i said, my voice low and sincere. "I know I overreacted, and I promise it won't happen again. From now on, I'll always inform you before making any decisions, no matter how small they may seem."Aria's expression softened slightly, but she still looked wary. I took a step closer, my hands reaching out to her."I know I have a tendency to want to control everything, especially when it comes to your safety," I continued. "But it's only because I'm scared, Aria. I'm scared of losing you, of something happening to you. And I know that if anything happens to the people you love, it will affect you deeply."Aria's eyes searched mine, and I could see the tension in her

I stared out the window, watching as the city bustled below. My mind, however, was elsewhere. “Aria, you keep getting lost. These past few days have been full if you are drifting off,” My mom woke me up from my reverie."I'm telling you, Mom, I'm fine," I said, trying to reassure her. We'd been shopping, had lunch together, and even taken her to the doctor for a check-up. She was getting better, slowly but surely. And we were getting closer like I hoped. "But Aria, I can see the worry in your eyes," my mom replied, her voice laced with concern. "You can't fool me, dear. What's going on with you and Julian? Does it have to do with the pictures from the other day?"I shook my head, “No, those pictures are of his therapist. And they were sent by Ethan and his accomplice, Vanessa. You might not know her but she’s so evil. Take it from me.” I said“Why would Ethan involve himself with someone evil?” She asked, puzzled.“Mom, the truth is that Ethan is not a good person. I can’t really ex
