Ariana's POV

I'm lying in bed, looking at all the pictures Y/n has sent me since she's been in Scotland. Her estate is a freaking castle. I literally know someone who owns a castle, and I can't wrap my head around it. She's only been there for three days so far, and I'm already missing her like crazy. She kept her promise and texted me, and we FaceTime whenever she can. The time difference makes it a little difficult, but she still makes the effort.

She tells me that everyone at the office is so nice and respectful, and that they're happy to have her as the new CEO. She and Tess have been exploring Scotland when they have time off, but she's been tied up in meetings a lot. She also said she's been learning a lot about her family history but still doesn't understand why her parents, especially her dad, never told her about her grandfather and great-grandfather. That's something she's been digging into.

Hearing about her day-to-day adventures and discoveries is fascinating. She's juggling so much, yet she always makes time for me. Her determination to uncover her family's past shows just how strong and curious she is. I admire her ability to handle everything with such grace, even when faced with so many unknowns.

Every call and message feels like a lifeline, keeping us connected despite the miles between us. I can't wait to see her again and hear all these stories in person. Until then, I'll keep cherishing these moments and supporting her from afar.

During my interview with Zach Sang, he mentioned my new friendship with Y/n. I couldn't help but smile, but apparently, a lot of people, including my fans, think I'm cheating on Ethan with Y/n, and others want Y/n and me to be together. Zach and others all wanted to know what it was like being friends with the Highland Heir/War Hero and what she was like. I talked about how amazing Y/n is and how down-to-earth she is. She's normal, just like the rest of us, and she's handling everything after her life changed literally overnight when she learned about inheriting a multibillion-dollar company. I even mentioned how she was in Scotland right now for the first time, meeting all the people who worked for her great-grandfather.

I warned Y/n about the questions and that the podcast interview would be out sometime this week. I was surprised that she wasn't too bothered about it, which made me feel so relieved and happy that it didn't affect her negatively.

Since she's been gone, I've thought a lot about my feelings for her, which grow stronger every day. The two times we almost kissed, her dreams about me before meeting me—I'm literally battling with myself right now. I know my past relationships have always been blasted in the public eye, and that's why I haven't been so public about me and Ethan, but everyone knows about him. I see the comments, and I know people think he's too 'ugly' for me and question the fact that he and I started dating right after we both got out of our marriages. I can only imagine what people would say if Y/n and I got together, but at the end of the day, I just don't care anymore.
