ARIA’S POV

I could barely process everything Brandon had just told me. As much as I hated to believe it, the evidence right there and Brandon didn’t look like he was lying.
But it still felt unbelievable because the man in question was my uncle. The man who used to smile at me during family dinners. The same man who stood beside my father’s coffin pretending to grieve.
He had been there for us, even when I didn’t know that my father’s company was thriving and now, he was suddenly connected to all of this?
Now Brandon was telling me he could be connected to the accident that almost killed me and my baby.
It felt unreal.
I looked down at my daughter again while my thoughts kept spinning. “I still don’t understand,” I admitted quietly. “How would he even know I’d be in your car that day?”
Brandon leaned back slightly in the chair beside the bed. “That’s what I’m trying to figure out.”
I frowned weakly. “What if the attack was actually meant for you?”
Brandon was quiet for a while before he nodded. “That’s possible. Because there was no way he would have known.”
“And if it was meant for you…” I swallowed painfully. “Then I was just there by accident.”
His jaw tightened immediately. “Either way, you almost died because of it. And it was entirely my fault. I should have been there that morning.
Silence filled the room for a moment. The baby shifted softly in my arms and I stared at her tiny face carefully. She looked peaceful now. Safe.
At least for now. Brandon exhaled slowly before speaking again. “I’ll figure it out. I’ll find out who was behind the accident and make sure they’re put in jail.”
I looked at him quietly. “You sound very sure.”
“I am.”
His voice carried the kind of confidence that made people believe him even when things looked impossible
“For now,” he continued, “I’m just glad you’re awake”
I swallowed slowly and looked around the hospital room again before my eyes returned to hum. “When can I leave?”
“A few more days probably.” I nodded weakly. Then his next words caught me off guard completely “When

you’re discharged, you’re coming home with me
My brows pulled together immediately. “Home”
“Yes”
I stared at him in confusion. “Brandon we don’t even live together.”
“We will now”
The answer came too fast. Too firm. I blinked slowly. “What?”
“I’m not letting you stay alone anymore”
Something in his expression softened slightly as he looked at me and the baby.
“If something happened to you both again,” he said quietly, “I wouldn’t forgive myself.”
My chest tightened unexpectedly,

Part of me wanted to argue. Another part of me was too exhausted to even try. Honestly, after everything thi happened, the idea of being alone scared me too.
So instead of fighting him, I simply nodded slowly. “Okay.” Relief flashed briefly across his face before disappearing again.
I looked back down at my daughter quietly. Now that I was fully awake, I could see her properly. Every little feature. Every tiny detail.
And suddenly, my heart sank a little. She looked nothing like me. Not even slightly. Brandon had said she did but I didn’t see it one bit.
From the shape of her eyes, her nose and the dark hair that was already covering her tiny head Even her tips. Everything was Julian.
My throat tightened painfully. “She looks exactly like him.” I whispered without realizing I said it alount Brandon stayed silent.
I smiled bitterly while brushing my finger carefully against the baby’s cheek. “Not even one feature from the I murmured quietly.
The room became uncomfortable after that I already knew Brandon understood who I meant
He must have figured out by now that Julian was the father of my child
A strange heaviness settled in my chest again and before I could stop myself, the question slipped out quietly “Who came to visit me while I was unconscious?”
Brandon looked at me carefully “What do you mean?”
“I mean. “Thesitated slightly “Did anybody come?”

He stayed silent for a moment too long. Then I finally looked up at him properly. “Did Julian come?”
