Aria had to curb the impulsive urge to jump on Dalton at that moment, and tear his face into pieces because of what he had done to wreck her plans. He had succeeded in turning the tables against her and frustrating her plans, which she was never planning to give up on no matter what. Still, she couldn't even understand why he would do that, when he really loathed the fact that they were both married together.'Was he trying to frustrate her even till the last moments? Or was there anything else to the evil marriage contract that no one was telling her about?' Dalton, who was satisfied by the confused look everyone in the room had on their faces, darted his eyes back to where Aria was standing to see the expression on her face. He would have so much expected to see a frustrated and pained appearance of her, but was rather disappointed to see her looking so prideful like everything was going her way. He began to wonder in his mind what exactly was going on in her head, that made her p
Aria's feelings could not even decipher at the moment on whether she should be elated or not, when she was informed that Dalton had ordered for her to move from her room to another. She was feeling a bit fuddled and tipsy from the wine she had taken earlier, as she gulped quickly a glass of water and listened to Alex give orders to the maids.'Why would he decide to switch her room now? Was that another way to punish and frustrate her? Or had they planned to finally throw her out of the house for the fact that she had wrecked problems?' As her entirety seemed to be wanting to stir trouble and put everyone in the mansion at unrest, she stormed out of her room as the maids walked inside and proceeded towards the stairs. The furry white slippers which were under her feet that were supposed to be noiseless, made a loud sound on the glimmering floor with efforts that indicated much anger in her. She climbed up the winged-shaped stairs that parted like an intersection at the top end, in
A low groan escaped Aria's lips as she turned her face to the other side of the bed, while still snuggled so tightly under a blanket like her life depended on it. She almost let out a loud yelp as a throbbing headache suddenly hit her, accompanied with the cold that was circulating from the huge AC in the room around the atmosphere. To worsen the terrible feeling that had taken over her body, her bones felt so sore and weak to the point that she could not move them.The bottle of alcoholic wines that she had picked from the cellar, and the manner in which she had drank them the previous day were no joke. That, it was surprising to know that she would have managed to hold a conversation with Dalton, before falling so deep to the extreme shutting down of her entire system.It was now like a necessity every night without sneaking around, because that was the only way she could sleep without being in the full consciousness of her body. To escape her incessant insomnia and nightmares. Sh
Aria was fully dressed in the peach dress she had checked out earlier, as she came out of the dressing room looking so pretty and stunning. She wore the cologne of her taste from the numerous ones placed in front of the dresser, as she checked out her makeup once more to be sure she had done well. Picking up one of the matching luxurious bags that was hung neatly in its rack at the dressing room, she came out of her room and elegantly walked past the large room corridor to the stairs intersection. At that point exactly, she saw the one person who was enough to ruin her mood for that morning, trying to get ready for one of her live morning sessions."Probably another pest to deal with this morning," Aria murmured under her breath, as she continued to walk towards the direction of the stairs with her heels clanking hard against the floor. That distracted Ellen from what she was doing as she turned, to know who could be approaching from the opposite part with clanking shoes. Just when
Mrs. Miller Eleanor was absolutely taken aback by what Aria was saying, and would not have expected her to say something of such to everyone present. It was even so unbelievable for such to ever happen, especially with someone who strongly despised her presence in his home. It was a disputable fact that everyone knew. Even so, she was in more shock about how Aria challenged her everyone's sight, and even mocked her orders by daring to go against her orders. Never would she have expected such to ever happen in a lifetime, or for the remaining months that she would get to spend in their home before they threw her out. The shock of Aria's new behavior and sudden boldness to mess with everyone, made her numb to action and thoughts of what to say or do."My dear Dalton!" Aria suddenly called as she saw him approach, and scurried playfully to where he stood as she grabbed his right arm and crossed her into his. She acted in an endearing manner towards him, as she rested her head softly o
Stacks of photos laid on the office table where Dalton sat behind, in which he seemed not to mind as he checked out some business proposals on the tablet he was holding. He wanted to act like he didn't even care at all about it, but it was almost too impossible to ignore because he did really feel bothered."Mrs. Miller had traveled long miles to an orphanage today. She did nothing much but tour around and had a talk with the manager there, spending approximately an hour and half," Alex reported. That has been his new job for like couples of days watching Aria, and he totally hated it. Dalton's gaze fell on the photos which had Aria in every one of them, dressed in the same outfit at different locations and time. She looked so alluring even from the pictures, that it felt like she had not always been that radiating until now. No one noticed the sick clothes she wore in the past and boring aura she gave, but could definitely not help but take another glance at her state of entirety.
Aria had gotten home before dinner but skipped eating, while she took her time to arrange everything she had bought from the store. It was an extra job for her because she had forgotten that her room was now up the stairs, as she had to move everything from the hallway where the maids had dropped them for her. She shut and locked the door behind, the moment she moved in the last package bag, and immediately slumped on the huge bed as she heaved a sign of good relief. The black bag she carried to the mall that was on the other side of the bed, caught her attention as she stretched her left hand to drag it over to her side. Her fingers zipped open the bag, and brought out the black card that she had used to purchase every single thing she bought. Considering how the condition of her official bank accounts were like twenty four hours ago, she would have never had the opportunity to shop as much as she did, because even the credit cards that were given to her by Dalton's grandfather,
'He is deceptive. He is manipulative,' her mind clamored loudly to her, as she felt his lips take in hers. It was so sudden that she had not enough time to catch her breath, but was so distasteful at the same time that her lips just held stiff.'What in the world was he thinking, when he just spontaneously decided to kiss her? Aria felt his grasp on her waste tighten so hard, as she tried to push him away from holding her the way he was. She could barely breathe, and almost choked with the intensity of the kiss. The manner at which he held her was so vigorous, that she imagined herself collapsing from faint as her head spun. Her knee made its way to his crotch, as she hit with strength and jerked free from him almost immediately. His pain sank deep into him, and he wondered how her kick could weigh that much. "What are you doing?!" She yelled, staring at him with so much anger. Her eyes looked so fiery and glaring, that it could burn directly through him if they were beam lasers.
