NIXON'S POVAfter talking to Dave at the police station, I made up my mind that I was going to help him in any way that I could. At that point, I knew there was no way of getting him out of jail. The only possible way to help him was to get the judge to give him a shorter sentence. Since I got to Mr. Mendez's hotel suite, he has been making a series of calls, he made me list out the contact of all the judges he knew from Chicago and Pittsburgh. Through one of them, he was able to reach the judge in charge of Dave's case. Putting a large amount of money on the table, he managed to buy him off and convinced him to hold the court hearing the day after tomorrow.He then called up their family lawyer who defending Dave in court and informed him about the new arrangement and strategy.During the phone conversation, Mrs. Mendez walked into the hotel suite with Lena behind her.

ARIA'S POVThe following morning was a busy one for me as Savannah was instructing me on Aurora's routine throughout the day. I was still in the lecturing process and I was already regretting why I accepted to look after the baby. Not that I didn't want Aurora with me but the 'looking after her' process was already starting to get stressful. I couldn't imagine that I was going to go through all that when I became a mother one day. After one hour of lecturing, Xavier and I got ready to leave for the court. Dave's hearing would begin in the next thirty minutes. According to Lena, the case was going in Dave's favor as the state lawyer had not been able to acquire any evidence against Dave. So everyone had a positive mind that everything would go as planned.We got to the court and sat on the defendant's side before the judge arrived. Dave was brought into the court in an orange jumpsuit. As if he could feel my eyes on him, he looked in my direction and a bright smile appeared on his f

“I'm not sure what answer to give to that,” I replied out of confusion. “And I don't think a phone call is right for that kind of conversation.” “Yeah, right.” He agreed. “What was I thinking? I should have waited a bit longer.” He hung up before I could say anything. I stared at my phone in confusion, wondering what just happened. It was my first time seeing someone ask a girl out and hang up on her the next minute.Wait, that was not what I should be bothered about. Jax Grayson wants to ask me on a date and I had no idea how to feel about it.After all the ordeal I went through a year ago, was I ready to open my heart to any man? That was a question I still didn't have an answer to. Many guys had approached me in the past two years, I had rejected them all because I was still nursing a broken heart but did I want to keep doing that? I would die single at that rate. I guess it was time I let go of my past, not because Jax Grayson asked me out but because I believed it was time to

“Aria, where are you, and what's burning in there?” Lena's voice brought me back to reality. “Shit.” I cursed when I saw that my bacon was completely burnt. I turned off the stove just as Lena walked in. “What happened?” Her confused gaze moved between me and the burnt bacon.“I got a bit carried away.”She sighed and went to her room.

He got out of prison yesterday.” She stared at me in silence, waiting for some sort of reaction from me but I didn't give her the satisfaction as I asked with a straight face.“How come? I thought he was going for six years.” “For your information, the prison years is
