Chapter 184

ARIA'S POV

“Let's go, Aria,” Adam said suddenly, reaching out his hand to me.

I forced a small smile and nodded, taking his hand as we made our way out.

Thank the Goddess for bringing me out of this mess.

As we walked out, the hallway outside the banquet hall was dimly lit.

Adam’s hand was tight around my wrist as he pulled me along, with Finn following closely behind us.

My chest felt tight, my mind racing with everything that had just happened.

“We need to get you out of here as soon as possible,” Adam said sharply, his voice low but commanding.

Finn glanced back towards the hall, his expression tense. “That stunt you pulled back there won’t go unnoticed for long,” he added. “Mason is going to come after us.”

I nodded, but my feet slowed as we moved farther down the corridor. Something tugged at me, holding me back.

“Wait,” I said, stopping in my tracks.

Adam turned to face me, his brow furrowed. “Aria, we don’t have time for this. We need to leave. Now.”
