Page 32 of Aria De Luca
Sixteen
I turnin the bed trying to feel Aria next to me but when I realize that I'm in bed by myself I open my eyes and then look to my side, seeing no Aria.
This fucking woman.
I sit up and look around the room but it's quiet in here, so fucking quiet that I know she isn't in here.
I get out of the bed and grab a pair of shorts from the dresser before I start looking for Aria.
Where the fuck did she go?
Did she think that after we had sex, she was allowed to leave the room?
After fucking her in the office I brought her to my room and almost fucked her against the wall before moving to the bed.
I get out of my room and go straight to Thalia's room.
Before I look for Aria, I need to make sure that Thalia is okay and fed. When I go inside Thalia's room, I find her still sleeping so I don't wake her, instead, I leave the room to look for Aria.
Something in my stomach swirls as I think about where she went or if someone took her but if someone took her, I would have known.
I check all of the rooms upstairs and then the guest rooms, but I still can’t find her. I go to the kitchen to see if she is there, but I only see Lana.
"Good morning, Ace," Lana beams as I walk inside the kitchen.
"Morning. Have you seen Aria?" I ask her and Lana's face falls.
Aria not remembering Lana or anyone else in the house except her family has been taking a toll on some of us. Emma is sad because she doesn't have her best friend so all she has been doing is staying at her house and hanging out with Alexander.
Lana has been cooking, pretending everything is fine but she is still sad that she can't have those conversations she loved with Aria.
Me?
I'm a fucking mess but I don't show it.
"She came in here for coffee and then left towards the hallway."
"Thanks," I say before leaving the kitchen and walking towards the hallway Lana was talking about.
It's in the same area as my office.
So, if Aria went in that direction, I know for a fact she is snooping in my office.
I open the door to my office and when I walk in, she isn't there. Instead, some drawers are open and some papers are out on my desk.
Fucking Aria.
I knew she was snooping for something but obviously, I didn't care to stop her. I'm glad I didn't but at the same time, I'm cursing at myself in my head for letting this happen.
I close the door behind me and walk towards my desk where there are some papers.
Nothing important, just some past files that I kept over time.
I sit in my chair and turn on my computer and when it opens, I log in and then it changes the screen.
A list of contacts pulls up.
All of these contacts are people who I suspect know where Dante is.
