Divorced The True Heiress Gets It All novel Chapter 542

Chapter 542

Aria instinctively wrapped her arms around Owen’s neck. Before she even realized what was happening, he was already carrying her toward the bed and gently set her down.

“It’s barely past ten,” she said.

“You only got four hours of sleep last night,” Owen murmured, propping himself up beside her with one hand while gently tracing the dark circles under her eyes with the other. “Let me handle the preparations-that’s my specialty. Leave it to me.”

Aria’s mind was racing with thoughts, leaving no room for sleep. “I’m wide awake,” she insisted.

Owen raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile on his face. “Oh, really?”

Owen let out a low chuckle. Then, without warning, he leaned in and captured her lips.

The kiss came out of nowhere.

Aria tasted the cool, minty freshness on his lips, with a hint of sweetness passing from his mouth to hers.

Aria turned her head away and blurted out, “What did you eat…”

Owen cupped her face and drew her back in, the kiss starting gentle before turning more teasing-his pressure just right, neither too soft nor too demanding.

No matter where she turned, his lips pursued relentlessly, leaving her no room to breathe.

Aria flushed with heat as she pushed against him in vain. As the air left her lungs, her mind grew hazy. She couldn’t think of anything else anymore.

Finally, Owen released her. His thumb gently brushed away the moisture at the corner of her lips as he murmured against her ear, “Still thinking about other things now?”

Aria wondered, ‘If I said yes, would he keep kissing me?’

Aria shook her head. “Not anymore,” she said.

Thanks to his distraction, she actually began to feel drowsy.

“Just give me a second,” Owen murmured.

Owen straightened up to grab the documents. “I’ll read to you,” he said softly.

He sat on the edge of the bed, speaking in a calm, steady voice: “There’s a restricted lab on the top floor of Ivy Hospital. The guards change shifts at 2 a.m.”

Aria’s half-lidded eyes fluttered as she murmured, “What about the guard positions?”

Owen said, “Wolfshade Syndicate has four men, Blood Association two.”

Assuming Aria was resting, Owen ran into Carlos downstairs and took the drink he offered, He then grabbed a random room to take a quick shower before coming back.

Owen said to Aria, “With Russell’s help, the Wolfshade Syndicate is no match for us. The Blood Association has eight operatives stationed at Ivy Hospital, with Black Rose currently in charge. We need to take out not just the six guards, but the rest of the Blood Association operatives as well. The key is to avoid drawing attention at the hospital-the best approach is to quietly extract Tristan…”

His voice gradually trailed off. When he looked down, he saw that Aria was already asleep.

Owen carefully set down the documents and gently drew the blanket over her. Gazing at her peaceful sleeping face, he leaned down and brushed a light kiss on her forehead. In a soft murmur, he said, “Good night, Madelyn.”

Aria awoke to the faint light of dawn. Rolling onto her side, she let her gaze linger on Owen’s sleeping face beside her.

His features were relaxed, long lashes casting delicate shadows beneath his eyes-serene and peaceful.

Aria gently leaned in and planted a soft kiss at the corner of Owen’s lips, then carefully slipped out of bed without making a sound.

The map on the table was covered with a dense web of red and blue markings, each extraction route annotated with precise timeline markers.

Aria’s fingertips lightly traced over the markings, her lips curving into an unconscious smile.
