"Aria please I need to talk to you." He begged."No," she said sternly and shut the door in his face."It's urgent." She heard him say before she banged in his face. But as she proceeded to the couch, shs kept on hearing him ring the door bell. He was relentless and hellbent on conveying an information."Ivan, what the hell do you want!" She yelled, before getting the door. He was still standing there. Visible relief spread through his features as she opened the door."Can I please come in?" He asked her"Why? You can speak from here isn't it?" She asked him."It's about Robert." He said, knowing fully well that that would hold her attention and make her want to listen to him more. She knew he thought that way, so she decided to feign nonchalance."What about him and how does that concern me?" She shrugged. "If this is about Robert then it doesn't concern me in the slightest." She responded, amidst he curious mind that begged to be satisfied."You deserve to know because you definetel
Aria couldn't be anymore happy when Elanne told her earlier this morning she would be paying her a visit. Excitement bubbled within her chest, and she could finally ask someone if what Ivan said was true. She also planned on asking Elanne for her opinion on what had been happening. Of course, she wouldn't tell her it was about her; she could substitute the original names for fake ones. Or she could lie and say that she had watched a movie where all of what she was saying had happened. Either way, she needed a third eye to view the situation with objectivity. She didn't know what to think anymore. She felt like every trace of her judgment was dampened by her emotions.When Elanne came in, she sprung to her feet and embraced her in a bear hug. Elanne grinned, hugging her tighter. When they pulled back, they both had this joyous spark in their eyes."Look at you," Elanne said, examining her. "I've missed you.""I've missed you too." Aria said. "How are you doing?""I'm just fine, I mean.
"Then why are you bothering yourself? The main focus is Robert here. We need to really know what he wants and what's the whole thing with having you and Becky in the picture.""You know, I can't probably ask him now. He's going to be aware that someone told me something and he's going to think it's without me mentioning that and I don't want to put in trouble." By this time now, Aria had stopped crying. She was wiping her tears, the tissue tracing her swollen eyelids. She held her forehead as it banged. Elanne nodded her head. "So what are you going to do now?" "I don't know but never again will I let any man hurt me and treat me the way they like. I'll never accept that... I'm simply going to give him the space he needs.""But you said you guys are sorta married.""It's a contract marriage thing. We could have simply nullified our drink marriage but he wanted me to pretend to be his wife and I agreed because I really needed the money.""When do it expire?" Elanne questioned."Two y
"You cannot be serious right now.""Of course I'm just joking but-""Maybe I should just talk to him and clarify everything." Aria suggested, exhausted. She tilted her head towards Elanne."I don't think that's a good idea because what do you want him to say to you, ofcourse he's defined going to lie about everything.""Maybe he won't, I should just give this a try." "If you say so but try not to fall for his charms or else you're going to be stuck for such a long time." Elanne warned.The sentence struck something in him because it was the same pattern with Ivan. She'd confront about what he had done and he'd apologize. She would hope that everything would come back to normal but he would end up doing the worst while she fell harder, unable to stop herself. It would be such a sad thing on her end if she allowed such cycle repeat itself."I won't, I promise." Aria assured her, promising herself in the process."Then you're good," she shrugged. "Cheer yourself up, will you?"Aria gave
"I should start leaving now," Elanne told Aria, still retaining her low, harsh tone."Wait-""How are you doing Aria?" Robert asked, calmly, settling on to the soap. He stared at Elanne. "Oh hi.""Afternoon," she stood up, clutching her bag while she was making her way towards the door, Aria held on her hands. "Please don't go yet.""Sorry gotta go." She waved an apologetic small smile. "Let me know how it goes."Aria thinned her lips and nodded. Elanne walked out the door. Then Aria's attention diverted to Robert."You didn't answer my question." Robert told her.She scratched her hair. "What was it?""I said how are you doing?" He repeated and Aria took his outfit. This was one of the few times where he was dressed casually."I'm good," she voiced out an answer that was far from the truth."Doesn't seem like it but okay." She hated how he was always able to tell when she was lying...it made lying feel like a waste to her."I'm fine." She said again, trying to convince him."I agree.
"And I cannot marry such a woman and have her under my proof because I know I'll be in constant fear and I do not want that for myself. So Aria, while you stay under roof, I will care for and not have anything to do with her nor any other woman."The words made Aria explode with something sweet so she looked away so he'd be unable to catch what he felt inside from her eyes. She stared at him now, wanting to ask about the pictures but he's definitely going to go ask her how she found them and she'd not respond to him but that will make him know she had someone that was following him and that was creepy. So how was she going to talk about how she got the pictures? Because she defined needed to ask him about the pictures. He could just be spewing lies for all she cared. Ivan did it countless time so he could also do that. Lies came easy to men. Her father, Ivan and maybe Robert prove the notion."Aria, did you even listen to any word I said?" Robert asked her, scratching his hair agaim.
"You're so cute." Aria confessed, feeling all sorts of sweet feelings and his soft and possessive confessions. She had not experienced such before and the need to bask in it overpowered her as a smile spread to her lips."I'm everything for you, Princess." He replied. "Do you mind coming closer? It feels like we're so apart." He requested, staring at the space between them between because Aria was settled on the sofa across from him."I don't wanna." Aria refused playfully, rolling her eyes, determined to prolong the moment because it all felt like a dream.He chuckled darkly. "Don't let me come get you by myself princess.""Let's see what you can do.""You're testing my patience. You are." He cracked his knuckles."What's the need for that?" Aria asked, imitating his gesture."Are you getting ready for a fight?" Then she burst out laughing. Her laughter sounded extremely beautiful and he wished he could make her laugh everytime or bottle her laughter in a jar so he could hear it anyti
The morning sun peeked through the curtains, casting a warm hue on the sisters' face as they filled the box with clothes and stuffed other necessities into Anna's luggage. Anna was preparing to go to college and as much as Aria was happy that she was moving into another stage of her life, a dull ache shot through her chest. She couldn't voice how it made her feel because she thought it was better left unsaid how she was sad because she didn't want Anna to be sad as well. That childlike excitement that graced her features deserved to stay a little longer. When they finished, Anna stood backwards and admired the deft which her sister had employed into enabling everything fit in."You really did well." She smiled, placing her hands on her hips."I mean, what do you take me for?" Anna asked, a rueful smile gracing her lips."I'm so excited to finally be resuming college, all my friends have been talking about it." Anna squealed, jumping up."I know right! Hurry up, we need to get to the
