All Chapters of My stunning bride: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Arianna My finger didn’t waver.It stayed pointed at him, steady despite the storm raging inside me.“You knew.”The words came out again, sharper this time. Stronger. There was no confusion left in my voice now—just accusation.Aiden didn’t move immediately.But I saw it.That flicker in his eyes.That brief hesitation.And that was enough.“You knew,” I repeated, my voice rising. “All this time… you knew, didn’t you?”“Arianna—”“Don’t.”I cut him off instantly, my hand dropping to my side as I took a step back, putting distance between us. My chest was rising and falling too fast, my emotions spilling over faster than I could contain them.“Don’t say my name like everything is fine,” I snapped. “Don’t stand there and act like this isn’t exactly what it looks like.”His jaw tightened slightly. “You’re not thinking clearly right now.”A bitter laugh escaped me.“I’m not thinking clearly?” I echoed. “That’s your defense?”“I was going to tell you,” he said, his tone controlled but fi

The morning came faster than I expected.One moment I was lying awake, staring at the ceiling, and the next the sunlight was already spilling through the curtains, filling the room with a brightness that felt almost too normal for how my life had changed.Today was my final exam.I sat up slowly, my fingers pressing lightly against my forehead as I tried to gather my thoughts. The past few days had blurred together in a strange mix of silence, adjustment, and conversations I never thought I would have.Living with Liam felt… unfamiliar at first.Not uncomfortable.Just new.He had rented an apartment closer to my school without making a big deal about it, like it was the most natural thing in the world. I didn’t ask too many questions about how or why he had the means to arrange everything so quickly. At first, I thought it would be awkward between us.It wasn’t.It was surprisingly simple.We talked when we wanted to, stayed quiet when we didn’t. Ate together without forcing convers

Aiden Her voice wouldn’t leave my head.It kept replaying in fragments, soft and sharp at the same time. The way she said “you knew”, the way her eyes changed when she looked at me like I had become someone she didn’t recognize anymore. Even when I closed my eyes, even when I tried to focus on anything else, she was still there.Arianna.Days had passed, but sleep had become optional.Or maybe I had just stopped caring about it.Most nights I stayed at the hotel instead of going home. It wasn’t even a conscious decision anymore—it just felt easier. Quieter. My penthouse felt empty in a way I couldn’t tolerate. Too many reminders. Too many places where she should have been.It wasn’t a home without her.That realization irritated me more than it should have.I sat in front of my laptop again, going through reports I had already read three times. Nothing new. Nothing useful. My team kept sending updates, expecting direction, expecting clarity—but my focus kept slipping.Every time I tr

I sat back in the car long after we left the airport, the city lights sliding past the tinted windows like blurred streaks of gold and grey.Q was unusually quiet beside me.That alone said enough.My mind drifted back to the conversation I had with my father on the island.It hadn’t started with tension.It never did.My father always spoke like he was simply continuing a story that had been paused for too long.We had sat in his study, the air heavy with the usual stillness that came with him. No distractions. No interruptions. Just control.“You came for answers,” he had said.“I came because I needed them,” I replied.That earned me a long look.Then he leaned back slightly in his chair.And said his name.“Benjamin.”The word alone changed the atmosphere.I didn’t react outwardly, but I felt it immediately.A shift.Subtle, but intentional.“My brother,” he added after a moment.I stayed silent.Because I already knew this wasn’t going to be simple.“He was never acknowledged pub

Aiden’s POVI parked the car outside the apartment without switching off the engine at first.I just sat there.Hands still on the steering wheel.Watching.From where I was, the glass doors gave me a clear view of the living room.Arianna was inside.Laughing.Not the polite kind of smile she gave when she was holding herself together. Not the forced calm she wore when she didn’t want to deal with too many emotions at once.This was different.Her head tilted slightly as she laughed at something Liam said, her shoulders relaxed in a way I hadn’t seen in a while. Even from here, I could tell she felt… safe.And Liam—he was standing too close.Too familiar.He was her brother. I couldn't help but admit to my self.I was present. Too present in a space I didn’t belong to.My grip tightened slightly on the steering wheel before I forced my hands to relax.I should have gone in.I knew that.But I didn’t.Instead, I sat there watching like I had no right to interrupt what was happening i
