Aria POV
I stared at the ring in my hand , then I heard the door open, it was Becca.
“You are still thinking about him right?” She asked.
“No.” I lied.
“Come on Aria , you don’t have to deny it , I know you still think of him all the time and I sure as hell know you don’t love Simon, why are you doing this to yourself?” She lamented.
“Becca , what am I supposed to do?... continue being his mistress?”
 
Aria POVWe were all sitting at the table eating, Papa Jones cracked jokes occasionally , it was so peaceful here , I really needed this ... no Dad , no Simon , no Theodore.Then we heard a knock on the door.“Uh , we aren’t expecting anybody.” Papa Jones said.“I will go check.” Becca stood and walked to the door.“Uh... Aria?” She called my name with a tone of surprise.I stood up to go see what was happening.
Aria POVI opened my eyes , the sun was rising already.I tried stretching but groaned.My leg hurts , I looked at it ... ah!, that scorpion.“Aria , you are awake.” Becca said happily.“Careful , your leg is still healing , Mama Agnes said the antidote is still spreading so you might feel a bit weak.” She explained and handed me a cup of water.I drank the water immediately, I was so thirsty.
Theodore POV:“You are still sulking.” Pancho entered my room.I laid on my bed depressed , I felt so empty inside , all because of Aria.She has so much effect on my life.She’s the only one that can make me feel this way , she is literally my weakness.“What else can I do , she’s getting married to Simon , she chose him over me , she made it clear.” I muttered sadly.“You really fell hard for her , didn’t you?” He asked.
Aria POV I opened my eyes and looked around , I was in a car , Theodore was driving.“What is this? , where are you taking me?” I questioned.He gave no reply.“Take me back!” I yelled but he still didn’t reply.“Take me to Simon , Take me to my husband.” He pressed on the brake unexpectedly , stopping the car.
Simon’s POV“Aria!.” I yelled her name as I checked from one room to another.“I can’t find her anywhere , I don’t feel good about this.” Ma’am Serena panicked , same with Becca who searched through all the rooms with me.“Aria!” I yelled louder this time going downstairs.Uncle Hernando approached u
Giovanni’s POVWhat’s happening? , I can’t believe this.Why would Theodore take Aria just right when the kidnappers I hired were supposed to arrive.Did he somehow know about my plan to sell her?“Giovanni , Simon has gone Crazy!.” Celine shrieked running towards me.Immediately I diverted my attention to her.
Reneè POVI watched as Simon paced around frustratingly , We still haven’t gotten any update about Aria.Theodore has refused to bring her back .I was also bothered but i did a really good job in hiding it , I have to be calm and wait , if i give Up now , Theodore will never return to me .Then suddenly he walked towards me and loosened the ropes tied around the chair.
