ARIA POV"Hey there, Luna…" Killian chimed as he walked into my room all smiley and excited. His hands were behind his back and I could smell something… something really good. "Guess what I have with me." "Mango custard!" I exclaimed, my stomach grumbled and I too was getting excited but also restless. I wanted to devour the meal immediately. "Give it to me!" I ordered then pounced on him. I went behind him and dragged the plate away from him. I sat down on the floor and started eating it with my hands. "Woah… easy there tiger, I didn't know you were that crazy over mango custard." He chuckled then knelt down close to me. His eyes suddenly narrowed at me, his eyes surveyed my body and he looked displeased. "Aria, are you sure you're okay?" He questioned skeptically, his eyes were still roaming about. "You don't look so good." He concluded. "I'm fine." I lied. "But you shouldn't have brought this food. I shouldn't eat anything." "Why?" He asked confused but slowly realization dawn
ARIA POVI went back to bed and pulled the covers over my head. I felt someone tug me in then the three brothers walked out of the room. Later that day, maids brought different kinds of delicacies to the infirmary and Darius and Killian stayed to watch me eat. *****My eyes were shut but I wasn't asleep. I was forcing myself to go back to sleep but I couldn't. My thoughts kept wandering around and I couldn't stop it. I thought that if I just remain in the same position for a long time, I might fall asleep without knowing. Twenty minutes later, I felt a gush of wind on my face, when it settled down, my nostrils were filled with Marcus' scent.I wonder what he was doing here, what was he trying to do? Is he going to kill me so Lauren is spared? Those wild thoughts went through my mind but I wasn't at fault cause there is no other explanation why he would return to the infirmary. My heart was racing, I knew I couldn't fight him, I wasn't as strong. I began forcing myself to think o
KILLIAN POVLauren tried to tempt me into sleeping with her but I dragged her out of my room and warned her never to repeat what she did. She was so furious when I shut the door on her face. It was so satisfying that I took a bit of revenge for Aria from that snake. I really wish I knew of a way I could just kick her out of the castle, a way even Marcus couldn't argue but had to accept no matter what. I decided to just sleep for now and when I woke up, I immediately went to see Aria. She was sitting up on the bed, her face was much brighter now and she didn't seem as sad as she did yesterday. "Aria!" I exclaimed cheerfully as I let her know of my presence. I walked towards her and hugged her. I then parted her legs and wrapped them around my torso while Aria's hands were firmly wrapped around my neck. I sat on the bed with Aria in my arms. I cupped her face and stared into her beautiful amber eyes, she stared back at me and a smile grew on her face making her face even brighter an
KILLIAN POVAria pulled from the hug and her eyes went to the door where Marcus was standing. I wanted to instantly chase him out of the premises, I want him as far as possible from her since he brought nothing but pains yo Aria but the look on Aria's eyes made me stop. She was sad, yes but I could see it in her eyes that she was still happy to see him even though he was far away. Do I be selfish and chase him regardless or do I just help Marcus stop being a dick?I sighed then placed a kiss on Aria's lips before I excused myself and went to Marcus who started retreating once he saw me. "Wait." I called out to him and he halted. "I'm already leaving… you don't have to give me any of your lectures." He grumbled. I ignored him and just went closer to him, "You can come inside." I said to him and his eyes widened in shock. "What…what do you mean?" He stuttered a bit, I could see excitement on his face although he tried to surpress it so it doesn't show. Either that or my brother do
KILLIAN POVI turned to her swiftly and she plastered a smile on her face, trying to make the air a less tense. I gave her a smile as well and her smile broaden so she wasn't expecting me to be in front of her the next second with my hand on her neck, strangling her. "What did I tell you last time? I told you to stop trying to flirt with me, didn't I?" I asked through gritted teeth and tightening my grip on her neck. She struggled with me but she couldn't do anything, "Or did you perhaps forget how dangerous I can be?" I growled at her, "I'm very patient but there's a limit to it. I do not want to see you anywhere near me in this castle or else I'll snap your neck." I threatened then let go of her. She collapsed to the ground and started coughing while gasping for air. "I could easily kill you here and nobody would bat an eye but have spared you, make me regret this decision and I'll will murder you." With that I grabbed the collar of her dress and dragged her out of the kitchen a
ARIA POVAfter that day, I seldomly saw Lauren and Marcus again. Not seeing them was bringing me so much peace, I loved it. I didn't even realize how much I loved food until I began eating all my favorite dishes again. Darius and Killian always watched me as I ate, making sure I didn't throw up and overcome my eating disorder but after a while, their guards came down and I could breath a little. On one fine evening, I was in the garden but Darius wasn't around. He had left to go somewhere, Killian was in the study room, he has been so busy since he pushed his work back to take care of me. I decided to watch the stars from the garden that night. They were so beautiful as they twinkled. I saw a shooting star and I made a silent wish as the cool breeze of the night brush against my face. The environment was so peaceful and quiet, I could hear some chit chats from the servants in the castle but I couldn't decipher what they were saying as they were far from me. So maids momentarily w

ARIA POV"Lauren, what are you doing here?" I snapped immediately. "What do you mean? I came to see you." Lauren responded. "Killian ordered you not to come close to me didn't he? Why are you disregarding his orders?" Lauren scoffed. "So what if he ordered me to? Are you really a chicken? Do you need protection from him?" "I don't need protection for you, I just need you to obey what he says, I too do not want to get anywhere close to you." "But I what to be, I have things I want to talk to say." "I don't and I do not have to listen to you." With that I began walking away. Marcus cane first to ruin my peaceful evening and now Lauren. The both of them are perfect for each other. As I was walking, I suddenly felt something tug my hair and before I knew it, I was on the grass and being dragged. I looked up to see it was Lauren. "What do you think you're doing?" I questioned as I tried to free myself from her grip and also stop following her. Her grip was firm and tight so it hur
