ARIA POVI took a quick sip of my orange juice then brought my attention back to Killian. He was dressed in a blue long sleeve shirt and black long pants. He had a headset blocking his ear — I was given one as well but didn't wear it since I wasn't the one shooting — as he closed on eye, his right hand holding a gun and the other supporting it. He aimed for the target then fired. The sun was very loud that I had to cover my ears and I regret not wearing a headset as well. Maybe that's why I was given one?I sighed then looked over to where he was aiming. The tin can was on the ground now with a hole in its body. "Wow!" I exclaimed then started clapping for him. I stood up and walked over to him. The cool breeze going through his hair and messing it up made him look like he walked out of an action movie. He smiled sweetly at me as I strolled over. The sound of the trees were helpful for calming my heart. "That was amazing, you really are a natural but there's the thing…" I started
"Looks appetizing." He said. Well he made me lose my appetite. I slammed my hand on the table as I stood up abruptly. I eyed him before leaving, abandoning my food behind.I was mad. Furious even, I can't even put words to how I'm feeling and I just wished he'll get the gist and leave me the fuck alone. But no, Marcus being Marcus will also do as he wants. Whatever pleases him must be but this time, I'm not going to have it. I absolutely don't want to have anything to do with him. KILLIAN POVThe landline rang in my office. I had been told that an important call had been directed to me. I picked it up and received the information. "Fuck." I said after I hang up. I stopped what I was doing and called for Aria who came thirty minutes later. She looked beautiful as always and a beautiful smile on her face. I almost couldn't tell her because I did not want to let her down but I can't help it. "Hey there beautiful." I greeted when she entered the room. She walked over to me and I go
ARIA POV"What is this?" I asked, a little confused. "A phone, silly." He said playfully. He was a little awkward but it didn't seem like he'll give up soon. "I know it's a phone but why are you giving it to me?" I asked instead. "Because it's yours." He simply replied. At this point, my patience was gone. "Marcus, you know exactly what I'm asking. Why the hell are you giving me a phone?" I yelled at him. He didn't seem taken aback by my response. It seemed like he actually expected it. "Well…" his voice trails off, he kept looking around, everywhere except me. He was acting kind again, like he cares about me but once he notices I'm faltering, he'll become cold again. This keeps happening in circles and I'm sick of it. This time I can't let him get what he ones. I cannot forget that he doesn't actually want me. My heart, please don't let me down this time. Don't make me do what I shouldn't. "Well…? Well what?" I snapped harshly. "Calm down feisty pants, I got it for you becaus
ARIA POV“There will be no chance for you so stop trying and stay away from me!” With that, I stormed away. I went to the garden to cool off. I needed the fresh air badly because I was getting really red. After staying there for a few minutes, I was little better. I wished Killian or Darius was around so I didn't have to live alone with Marcus. Honestly, I wished there was some place else I could stay until they returned but I know if I suggested it, they'll refuse saying the castle is the safest place for me. I sighed as I thought. I honestly don't think I outburst there would have stopped him from whatever he's thinking. I knew for a fact that he's planning something else, something to achieve his goal despite all I said. I facepalm myself and wondered what I was going to do for the days Killian and Darius will be absent. Do I just lock myself in my room and never come out? I love cooking but I'll have to plus for the time being, plus Marcus is also eating my cooking that I
ARIA POVI had a feeling I will regret this. No, I know for a fact that I will end up regretting my next words but…“Fine.” I said then turned away whilst crossing my arms, “But it won't be easy, you can count on that.” *****I had to do some exercises, workout to keep in shape and stamina for my training. I allowed Marcus to teach me in place of killian and it's been going well. He also made me do some boxing. The routine was tiring and I wanted to give up but he wouldn't let me. “Think about the motivation. The reason you decided to fight in the first place. Let that motive you.” He said on a calm and cool morning. It rained all night making the sleep more enjoyable. I wanted to remain in bed and enjoy my sleep but Marcus came into my room and woke me up. He refused to go away and told me I needed to keep my streak. I was angry to say the least but I had told him to force me to work no matter the tantrum I make. I groaned and got out of bed reluctantly. I started the day with s
ARIA POVKillian and Darius returned thar day and everything went back to normal. I asked them about their work and they dismissed it saying it was okay and they don't want to bore me with such things. I told them it wasn't a bore and insisted they tell me but still, they brush it off. Soon I was tired of asking and I let it go. If I have to know, I'll know eventually. I used that to console myself. I was so glad they were back and I don't have to deal with Marcus alone. This will make it much easier to avoid him and I won't fall for his charms and forgive him.Well that's what I thought until Killian said he still couldn't resume training me and Marcus will have to continue since I've been progressing under his guidance. He still thought me shooting but the rest was taken care of by Marcus. Darius wasn't too happy with the agreement, I could tell but he agreed regardless. And that's how it went on, I trained with Marcus during the day whenever we had session and most nights, I
MARCUS POVAs Aria passed out, I immediately carried her to the car I brought along with me and drove to the nearest hospital. She was rushed to the emergency center and I anxiously waited for the doctors to come back out to tell me how she's doing. An hour past and no one had spoken to me yet, I was getting really scared at that point, thinking she might be poison or something. I didn't want to call Killian but I know I'll be digging my grave if I don't give them a call. I sighed, preparing myself for what's to come and I made the call. I informed Killian that Aria was in the hospital. He was furious and hung up immediately I told him which hospital it was. Thirty minutes later, they arrived and I signaled them so they'll know where I am.“Every single time she's alone with you, something just have to happen to her.” Darius began immediately he saw me. He was furious, to say the least but his anger was not what's concerning me. Aria passed out, something happened to her and I st
ARIA POVI cannot express thr joy I felt when I woke up and found out I was pregnant. I was speechless at first. I touched my stomach and became teary as I realized a human being is growing inside of me. I was overjoyed to say the least. Killian and Darius were by my side except for Marcus who they said had to leave. “We're so glad you're okay and Marcus didn't hurt you again.” Darius said to me and I rolled my eyes. “Are you sure you guys aren't the ones that made him leave?” I asked suspiciously and they denied the accusation. I brushed it off and continued thinking about the good news I had received. We were given instructions from the doctor on how to take care of myself and what to eat and not to, then I was discharged and went back to the castle. When we arrived there, we were informed by the maids that Marcus had left the castle and won't be returning for a few days. It was all too sudden and I couldn't help but wonder what the reason was, if it's because our date was ru
