Chapter 169

• Aria’s POV
• My heart raced and I smiled as I leaned my back against the closed door inside my room. My stomach was filled with butterflies. I don’t know why but I felt like a schoolgirl who had just sneaked her first kiss with the guy she had a crush on. My Alessandro. After everything, we were back together, and my heart wouldn’t stop racing at the thought of it.
• I walked to the mirror, still grinning like an idiot, my cheeks flushed red. For once, the weight of being Don slipped off my shoulders. For once, I wasn’t the Hollow Syndicate’s leader, or a single mother balancing an empire and three kids. I was just Aria. A woman in love.
