As Jack drove, Aria inquired about his grandparents and mother. He replied that they had returned to their hometown. She then asked about his father, Edward, but Jack remained silent, focusing on the road.
Aria's thoughts drifted back to their argument at the concert, and the terrifying memories of Allison's attempt to harm her and Liam resurfaced. Jack broke the silence, asking where she had been since their fight.
Aria's expression turned bitter. "You don't know Allison; she's wicked and cruel. I'll make sure she pays for everything."
Jack's lips curled into a smile. "I've divorced Allison," he said, catching Aria off guard.
Relief washed over her, grateful he had left "that witch Allison." Jack's words hung in the air: he had done it so she could come to him. He whispered to himself, "So we can be together."
Aria gazed out the car window, lost in thought, as Jack's quiet affirmation hung between them.
"Stop, this is the address," Aria said, noticing the darkness surrounding the building. Jack instructed her to stay put and not follow him, but Aria nodded and secretly trailed behind, gun in hand.
Inside, Allison was shocked to find Aiden tied up and gagged. She rushed to revive him, sprinkling water on his face. As Aiden's eyes opened, he saw Allison holding their baby, wrapped in pink cloth. "Why bring our child here? It's dangerous," he warned.
Allison revealed she had a plan. "What are you doing here?" she asked. Aiden explained Liam's men had tied him up and taken his father and son. He wondered where Rakesh and David were, realizing David had betrayed him.
The sound of a baby's cry caught Aria's attention. She followed the noise, concerned. As Allison and Aiden prepared to leave, Jack burst in, gun drawn, warning them the police were coming. Aiden swiftly punched Jack, seized the gun, and fired a warning shot.
Aria rushed upstairs, finding Jack on the floor. She tried to rouse him, but Aiden's sudden movement caught her off guard. "How dare you!" Aria exclaimed, slapping Aiden.
Allison, holding her baby, pushed Aria, causing her to fall and hit her stomach. Aria screamed in agony. Allison handed the baby to Aiden, who questioned her actions.
Allison grasped Aria's hair, pulling her up. Aria clutched her stomach in pain. Allison dragged her to the rooftop, shouting, "Today, Aria, we end this war!"
As they reached the rooftop, Aria's thoughts raced. How would she escape Allison's wrath? The city lights below seemed distant, and her chances of survival dwindled.
Liam drove, checking the rearview mirror to see Aiden's father and son Elias sleeping soundly. He had a nagging feeling Aria was in danger and decided to turn back.
As he arrived and locked the car, Allison pointed a gun at Aria on the rooftop. Aria calmly said, "This war the perception you created in your mind , Allison. You can't kill me; you'll go to jail."
Aiden handed the baby to Allison , revealing his hatred for Aria's resemblance to his ex-wife Isa, whom he had brutally killed. Aria stopped recording on her phone, announcing they would both go to jail.
Aiden slapped Aria, seizing her phone and smashing it. Allison laughed, revealing Jack's innocence. She had hired a man to wear a mask at the concert, deceiving Aria into believing Jack's betrayal.
Aria for a moment was lost in thought as images of that night happened, she raised to the thought of her she tear Jack's hand with dagger because she thought he betrayed her. She had to know the truth. Aria's eyes welled up with tears. "What are you saying?" she asked.
Allison clarified that Jack was unconscious in a hostel, injured by Aria's dagger. Liam, listening from the shadows, switched on the building lights, the light spread across the rooftop.
All eyes turned to Liam.
"Liam?" Aria whispered, shocked.
Aiden's grip on the baby tightened, his face pale.
Allison's smile faltered, her gun trembling.
The air was thick with tension as Liam stepped forward, his presence shifting the dynamics.
Aiden's anger surged, remembering Liam and the thugs tying him up and David's betrayal. "Good bye Aria." He pointed the gun at Aria, and pulled the trigger.
Liam shouted "No!" and rushed forward, taking the bullet instead. Aria closed her eyes in fear, then opened them to see Liam bleeding profusely.
Tears streamed down her face as she screamed Liam's name. Jack regained consciousness and rushed downstairs to find Liam bleeding he was also shocked to see Allison there
Enraged, Jack punched Aiden. Allison tried to escape, but Aria grabbed a nearby stick and threw it causing it to hit Allison's leg, Allison fell and her mistakenly slipped from her grasp, plummeting down the building.
Allison screamed, stunned. Aiden rushed after her.
Jack saw Aria crying, holding Liam's bleeding body. Liam weakly took Aria's hand, binding it with Jack's. "I came as Austin to expose the enemy," Liam whispered, "I survived for you, Aria."
Liam confessed, "I know you love me, but we're not destined together." Aria begged him to stop talking.
Jack called for an ambulance as Aria confessed her love for Liam. But Liam smiled weakly, "You love Jack, not me. I see it in your eyes."
Aria denied it, but Liam urged her to go to Jack. "You belong to him." Liam then asked Jack to promise him that he will take good care of Aria, Jack looked at Aria who was crying non stop, promised that he will take good care of her.
Liam's hand slipped from Aria's, his eyes open, his last breath escaping. Aria screamed, pounding Liam's chest, begging him to wake up.
Jack pulled her into a hug, whispering, "He's gone." Tears fell from his eyes as Aria clung to him, sobbing. The ambulance had arrived taking Liam to the hospital.
As the ambulance disappeared into the distance, its sirens fading into silence, Aria's grief overwhelmed her. Tears streamed down her face, mingling with the pain etched on her, she felt lost for a moment. Jack's voice, laced with concern, broke through her anguish.
"Aria, what's wrong?"
Her words tumbled out between sobs, "Allison pushed me... I fell... and I hurt." Jack's expression darkened, his eyes locked on hers.
Dizziness swept in, and Aria's legs buckled. Jack's strong arms enveloped her, cradling her close.
"I've got you," he whispered, his voice trembling. "We need to get you to the hospital, now." Fear for their unborn child's safety gripped his heart.
As Jack gently placed her in the car, Aria's tears continued to fall, mourning Liam's loss and fearing for her own and her child's well-being.
