Zion's Ultimatum
For Zion, the silence had been tormenting. It had been weeks since Aria last spoke with him, and the worst part of all this was that he still did not know what had happened or why this space was so important to her. But he had had enough. It was time to address this space between them once and for all, and with that determination, Zion decided to track her down and find where she was staying.After a long drive, Zion was at Aria’s apartment. He hesitated outside the gate, unsure if this was the right move, but he just as quickly shook his head, dismissing the thoughts. He was done with silence. He had waited long enough.The guards nodded at him, clearly informed of who he was, and let him through. His steps were slow but firm as he made his way to the main door, and he suddenly felt a reluctance. However, he managed to compose himself, and just as he was reaching to knock on the door, the door was pulled open.Aria stood there in a satin robe, her hair loosely tied up, with sharp eye
Silent Tension
After Lucian’s not so subtle threat, the Concord decided that it was time to step in before things got more out of hand. They had tried to pretend it was possible for the two to find peace without their interference, and now they couldn’t imagine how wrong they were. That morning, the city’s diplomats and Concord leaders emerged from the shadows and gathered in the large event hall. The conversations were only towards one topic this time, “reform” and “restoration,” as if those were real things. As if they didn’t already choose a side behind closed doors.The peace gala had begun. But Aria Carpi wasn’t here for peace. She entered the ballroom like smoke, quiet, graceful, but impossible to ignore. Her gown was made of crimson silk, flowing softly down her body, and in her eyes, there was no warmth. Just calculation.John followed a few steps behind, scanning the crowd.’“We shouldn’t be here too long,” he murmured. “There are eyes everywhere, and we don’t need this much attraction now.
In The Shadows
After that night at the gala, Aria had been constantly anticipating Lucian’s move. She had John’s men stalking every corner of the city, keeping their ears to the ground on any information that circulated. She knew Lucian was coming for her and he would strike as hard as he could. She stood quietly on the new rooftop of her apartment. Since her last press conference, she had to change her location. She knew that all her enemies would be coming after her now and she needed to stay one step ahead.Things had changed a lot more from that day. Aria knew she had gotten more deeper into this and though she missed Zion, she had chosen this war over love, and deep down she was afraid that Zion might not recognize the person she had turned into. Suddenly she could hear footsteps slowly approaching her and she turned to see John Doe standing behind her.“We made contact,” he said softly.Aria raised a brow, looking straight at him. “And?”“My agents stirred things up just like you planned. One
The Storm
The next morning, Aria stared out from the glass window of her penthouse, sipping her cup of tea slowly. Below her, she could hear the sound of cars rushing, drones floating past screens, and people moving and going about their day-to-day life, completely oblivious of what was coming.After staring out the window for a while, Aria turned around, her expression calm but her mind sharp. Today wasn’t about memories or heartbreak. Today was about marking her ground. About reminding every name in power that Aria Carpi was no longer hiding.Suddenly, she heard a knock on her door and was immediately pulled from her thoughts. Without hesitation, she walked towards it, and when she opened it, her eyes widened in surprise.“Is everything ready?” she asked, holding the door slightly ajar.John Doe stood in the doorway with his arms crossed and a concerned look on his face. He’d tried to persuade Aria to let go of the idea of the gala since the moment she told him, but she wasn’t budging, and no
Calls That Go Unanswered
Aria’s phone has been blaring with calls since the moment she left the car park, and every time she ignored it. As soon as she got home, she went straight to her room, and again her phone suddenly rang. She chewed her lip and stared at the screen until the call stopped. This was the third time he had called in the last twenty minutes. The first two she’d managed to ignore, but this one lingered longer.When it stopped ringing, Aria slowly sat down at the edge of her bed. Her eyes burned, but she blinked the sting away. She wasn’t going to cry. Not tonight. Not anymore. This was her choice, and she had to handle it with grace.Suddenly, her phone lit up again with a new message, but she didn’t have to open it or even glance at it to know what it said. She knew it was from Zion and surmised that he would probably say something like, “Please talk to me.” Or “I didn’t expect to see you last night.” Or maybe even worse.Aria took in a deep breath and wrapped her arms around herself, closin
The Other Woman
“Zion,” she whispered, and suddenly froze in place. He looked good. Too good. He was wearing all black, but there was something else that caught Aria’s attention, and that was the slim woman beside him. She was tall, elegant, and had glowing brown skin with short curls.Aria studied her closely, and she could feel her heart begin to race in anger, especially when she touched Zion’s wrist as she laughed, and he didn’t pull away.Her throat tightened, and for a moment, her chest physically ached. She wanted to storm over there and tell that woman to keep her hands off him, but she remembered that she was the one who walked away, and Zion had the freedom to do whatever he wanted with anyone. But even though she knew she could only blame herself for this, it didn’t help as she watched him smile at someone else the way he used to smile at her. Her heart fractured, and the only thing she could do was hold it together. Aria forced a grin, like she could fool herself out of this pain. This
