Author's note: Okay, so, I know it's been a while and I don't blame you if you've stopped reading this story. Those that follow me on twitter know that I tweeted i'd start this story back up again, so here it is, the next chapter, long overdue.

Aria woke up to find Ezra fast asleep next to her. Aria looked at the alarm clock and realized that she had to get up and get ready for class, even though she really did not want to go. She leaned over, kissed Ezra and then forced herself out of bed. She made her way over to the bathroom and then stepped into the shower. The warm water cascaded down her body and she sighed because it felt so good. After she was done shampooing and rinsing her hair, she suddenly heard the bathroom door open. All of a sudden she felt a presence behind her.

Ezra's fingers lightly stroked down Aria's arm, sending shivers down her spine. He swept her hair to one side, revealing her neck and gently kissed it. Aria turned around and kissed Ezra hungrily, tugging at his bottom lip as she pulled away. Ezra took a step closer, closing the gap that was between them completely and continued to push Aria further back until the cold wall was against her back. She was tacken aback by the sudden coldness and her nipples erected. Ezra saw this and started sucking on her nipples, one at a time. Then he went further south and lifted one of her legs over his shoulder, so he had easier access to her clit.

Aria moaned as Ezra circled his tongue around her clit and she threw her head back in pleasure, her hands gripping Ezra's hair firmly. Right before Aria reached her tipping point, Ezra stopped and got up. He kissed her deeply and she could taste herself on his lips. She lifted her right leg and put it around Ezra's waist, pulling him against her and rubbing against his erect penis, trying to find her sweet release. Aria could feel Ezra's smirk against her lips as she did this. Ezra lifted Aria and his cock entered her wet pussy, which made Aria gasp for air. He pounded into her as she held onto him, letting out moans as she was reaching her climax. When she finally came she screamed Ezra's name and Ezra continued pumping into her so she could ride out her climax, which tipped him over the edge too.

Ezra pulled out of Aria and supported her as he put her down because she was shaky on her legs. She rested her head against Ezra's chest as she was catching her breath. After standing there like that a minute or two, she looked up at Ezra, kissed him on the lips and admitted, "I love you, so, so much."

Ezra smirked and replied, "You're just saying that because I just totally rocked your world."

Aria raised an eyebrow and retorted, "You're probably right... I should go now and have sex with some other men, to see if I fall in love with them too. See you later."

As Aria was about to leave the shower, Ezra pulled Aria back against him and slapped her behind. Then he bent down and kissed her possessively.

When he pulled back, they held eye contact intensely and Ezra said, "I love you too".

Aria grinned and replied, "That's more like it."

Ezra shook his head and playfully rolled his eyes at her.

Aria pretented to be shocked and asked, "Did you just roll your eyes at me, Mr. Fitz?"

Ezra shrugged, "So what if I did, Miss Montgomery? What are you going to do about it?"

Aria stood on the tip of her toes and leaned in to whisper into Ezra's ear, "Oh, I'm going to punish the fuck out of you, tonight... You better be prepared."

Before Ezra could reply, Aria got out of the shower with a victorious smirk on her face.

After Aria was fully dressed and ready to go to class, she was halted by Ezra as he said, "You have to eat, I made breakfast."

Aria smiled and replied, "Thank you, but I also have to make it in time for school, which I won't if I stay for breakfast. I'll just grab something on the way to class."

Ezra kissed her on the forehead and said, "I'll make you something to go, come on."

Before Ezra could walk away, Aria grabbed Ezra's tie and pulled him down to her, kissing his lips. Then she replied, "Maybe I can be a little late", and put her arms around Ezra's neck as she kissed him deeply.

Just as she was about to loosen Ezra's tie to unbutton his shirt, there was a knock on the door. Aria let out a grunt and said, "Ugh, I hate whoever's at the door... I'll go get it."

Ezra was just in the kitchen when he heard Aria call out his name in distress. He hurried over to the front door and saw that Detective Wilden was putting handcuffs on Aria and reading her her rights. Ezra rushed over to her, but was stopped by another policeman.

Ezra yelled, "What is going on here!? Why are you arresting her, she didn't do anything!"

Detective Wilden smirked as he replied, "Well, not according to our forensics team. I suggest you get her a good lawyer."

Then, without saying anything else, they took Aria away and Ezra was standing there all alone, taken aback at what had just happened with no clue what to do next.

Minutes later, Ezra was standing there, staring at the door with a blank look on his face. Suddenly he snapped out of it and ran to his office. He walked over to the phone and dialed Jemma's number. As the phone was ringing, he impatiently yelled, "Come on Jemma, pick up, pick up!"

Finally Jemma picked up and before she could say anything, Ezra said with panick in his voice, "They just took her Jemma! They just arrested her, just like that! What do I do? Please help me Jemma, I need you to get her out!"

Jemma calmly replied, "I know they arrested her, they told me. I can't help her, nor you."

Ezra was confused and asked, "Wait, what!? What is going on here, what did you do?"

Jemma simply replied, "I didn't do anything. Anyways, I can't discuss this case with you, it wouldn't be professional of me. The prosecutor hired me and put me on the case, to help him."

Ezra felt his whole world crashing down, Jemma was too good at her job to not win this case. Not to mention she had it out for Aria since she was dating him and having Aria out of the picture, was her best revenge.

Ezra felt a sudden urge of anger and yelled, "You're such a bitch! You know, I'm glad you aborted our baby, because I would have never wanted to raise a child with someone as heinous as you!"

Then Ezra hung up the phone and made his way to his car, so he could drive down to the police station.

Ezra stormed into the police station, walked up to the front desk and demanded, "Aria Montgomery, where is she?"

The policeman looked up at Ezra and asked, "Are you her lawyer or something?"

Ezra was annoyed and replied, "I'm her boyfriend. Now tell me where she is."

The policeman shook his head and said, "Unless you're her lawyer, she can't see you. She's in questioning right now. Afterwards, she'll be taken to jail and processed. But even then, she can't see anyone but her lawyer, until her bail hearing. If it's granted, she's all yours until the trial."

Ezra shook his head in disbelief. Aria didn't deserve to go to jail for something she didn't do. There was no way they had enough proof to determine whether or not she did it. He was sure they were going to coerce her into confessing in order to get a plea deal.

Ezra panicked and tried to rush over to the interrogation room like he did before, but two policemen stopped him on the way.

Ezra pleaded with his eyes as he said, "I need to talk to Wilden."

The officer shrugged his shoulder and replied, "He's busy right now, you'll have to wait your turn. Either you remain calm and have a seat, sir, or you need to go."

Wilden was tapping his fingers impatiently on the table for several moments, whilst looking at Aria. Then he was finally fed up with her silence and said, "You know, you're going to have to talk eventually."

Aria just looked up at Wilden with a blank expression on her face and continued saying nothing.

Wilden got up and started pacing around the room. He looked at himself in the two way mirror and said, "I know why you did it... He tried to rape you, you felt unsafe and the only way to make that feeling go away was for him to go away. We found the murder weapon... it had your DNA all over it, so there's no use denying it."

Aria was startled as she heard Wilden say that and immediately responded with, "What!? How is that even possible, I didn't kill him, how can my DNA be on the murder weapon!?"

Wilden turned around and said triumphantly, "Ah, she speaks! Well, Miss Montgomery, there are two possible explanations for that. Number one, you are lying about not killing him. Number two, the murder weapon belongs to you, but was used by someone you know. Whether you are complicit if it's number two, remains to be decided."

Aria replied arrogantly, "Or, number three, you're lying to me because you think I'll confess to something I didn't do in order to get a plea bargain or something. I do not own, nor have I ever owned, a gun. I haven't even held a gun in my entire life, so i'm pretty sure my DNA is not on the murder weapon."

Wilden frowned his eyebrows and said, "Matt wasn't shot. Why would you think Matt was shot?"

Aria replied, "Uhh... I don't know. I just assumed, you know, gun violence and all."

Wilden raised an eyebrow and said, "I don't know if you're saying this because you really didn't do it and don't know what happened, or whether you're trying to make me believe you didn't do it. But i'm going to play along for a bit and let's assume you didn't kill Matt... If you know who did it and you're scared of them, we can offer protection. If you know who did it and you're saying nothing because you want to protect them, you're guilty of obstruction of justice."

Aria let out a deep sigh and replied, while her eyes were filling with tears, "I didn't do it, I don't know who did it. All I know is that Matt was in debt to some pretty shady guys and that he liked to scam women into giving him money. I was one of those women and when I found out, I dumped him. He got upset and tried to hurt me, rape me. I fought back and hit him over the head with an empty bottle and ran out of my apartment. He was alive and was dropped off at the hospital. I didn't see him again after that."

Wilden took a seat across from Aria and asked, "Why didn't you call the police?"

Aria shrugged and replied, "I don't know... I guess I just wanted to forget it ever happened."

Wilden sighed and said, "I will look into what you said... But I can't let you walk out of here today, you are still officially under arrest."

A few minutes after Ezra had sat down, he noticed someone walking into the police station. It was Jemma.

Ezra got up and walked over to her and asked with a harsh tone in his voice, "What are you doing here!?"

Jemma gave Ezra a mean look, turned her attention to the policeman behind the desk and stated, "I'm here to pick up a copy of Miss Montgomery's file for the bail hearing."

Ezra was getting frustrated that Jemma was ignoring him, but then all of a sudden, she turned to him and snarkily said, "I hope you enjoyed your last night together, because you won't be seeing her for a long while."

Ezra scoffed and replied, "You've got some nerve to do what you're doing, you know that? Anyways, I'm going to find a lawyer that's better than you, shouldn't be that hard, and get her out on bail."

Jemma let out a little giggle and said matter-of-factly, "Oh, they're not going to grant her bail, i'll make sure of that. She's a killer Ezra, a killer who's dating a billionaire. You have access to everything, you can get into your helicopter or plane or whatever you own and run away with her. She's too much of a flight risk. Do you really think they will let her out of jail?"

Then it suddenly hit Ezra, she was right, they were never going to let her out on bail. He had to admit to himself that the thought of going away together to some faraway country that didn't have an expedite treaty with the US had crossed his mind. Even when you're not guilty, you can still get put into jail. He didn't trust the justice system one bit, so why would he risk Aria's life on it?

At that time, Aria exited the interrogation room with Wilden following suit. He noticed Aria was still handcuffed and he could see she had been crying. Not wanting Aria to suffer one second longer, he walked over to Wilden, but was stopped again by the policemen.

Not being able to come any closer to Wilden or Aria, he decided he had no other option but to yell what he had to say, "I did it. I killed Matt. He had hurt her and I got mad, so I killed him and then I dumped his body somewhere I thought they wouldn't find him. You need to let her go and arrest me, she had nothing to do with this, she didn't even know I did it. I'm sorry Aria, I know I should have spoken up sooner, but I never thought it would go this far."

Both Aria and Jemma had a look of utter terror on their faces as Ezra confessed to killing Matt.

Aria shook her head and said panicking, "Ezra, no... Please don't do this."

Wilden smirked and commanded his officer to take Ezra into another interrogation room as he put Aria back into the interrogation room she had just come out of.

Wilden removed Aria's handcuffs and said, "Take a seat."

Aria obliged and sat down. She looked up at Wilden and asked, "What's going to happen now? I know he could have never done this."

Wilden shrugged his shoulders, replied ,"I don't know... He sounded pretty convincing to me", and then walked out of the room.

Wilden walked into the interrogation room where they had taken Ezra. He took a seat across from Ezra, stared him straight in the face and asked, "Why should I believe you? How do I know that you're not just lying to protect your little girlfriend in the next room?"

Ezra leaned back in his chair and smuggly replied, "So what if I am lying? I know she didn't do it, you know she didn't do it. I confess, case closed, no?"

Wilden sighed and said, "I'm not that kind of a detective. I like to put the real criminals in jail."

Ezra raised an eyebrow and asked, "Then why go after Aria? The only thing she's guilty of is having bad taste in men."

Wilden smirked and asked, "Yourself included?"

Now it was Ezra's turn to sigh as he explained, "Very much so... Look, Matt was just using her for her money, he was going to scam her because he was in debt to some shady guys. Matt tried to rape her, she hit him, he was unconscious. I had my men drop him off at the ER entrance, even though he did not deserve that. After Matt was released from the hospital, I had Matt followed so I could keep an eye on his whereabouts. I had him warned that he were to never ever contact Aria again, or I would have him killed. I lied to her about all of this, but I did what I had to do to keep her safe."

Wilden nodded and said, "Okay, according to what you've just told me, you both had a motive to kill Matt. And you actually threatened to kill him. So tell me exactly why I should let both of you walk out of here?"

Ezra shook his head and replied, "You shouldn't. Let her go, but keep me. She's not a flight risk, but I am. And what if I actually did have Matt killed and you let me go? I mean, I had a motive and let's face it, I had the means."

Wilden shrugged his shoulders and said, "Or I could just stick both of you in jail."

Ezra glared at Wilden and replied, "Look, you will let her go right now and arrest me instead, accepting my statement. If you don't, I will walk right out of here and leak to the press that Ezra Fitz, billionaire, has gotten away with a murder by bribing a detective and framing his latest flirtation for it. You'll be taken of this case and investigated, she'll be released from jail. It's a win-win for me, despite of the fact that I don't want her to even spend one night in jail. So what will it be?"

Aria was startled as the door from the interrogation room swung open. She could tell from the look on his face, that detective Wilden was in a bad mood.

He looked at her with a sour face and said, "Get up. You're free to go. Go by the front desk to pick up your belongings and go home."

Aria shook her head in confusion, "What? Why? What happened with Ezra."

Wilden shrugged and replied, "He confessed."

Aria scoffed and said, "So? He didn't do it. You can't just arrest him, he clearly lied!"

Wilden's sour demeanor turned into an evil smirk as he replied, "Oh, he didn't lie. I wouldn't have arrested him, if his statement had been full of lies. He told me all sorts of details about Matt's murder... Details that were only known by the police... and the killer. I'm sorry, Miss Montgomery, sometimes people just aren't who they seem. You should have learned that by now..."

Wilden turned around and left the room, leaving a baffled Aria behind.

Aria didn't know how she got back to Ezra's apartment, she felt completely numb. What had just happened, it didn't seem real. Why had he done that, why had he confessed? Had he really done it, kill Matt? No, he couldn't have. But then why did he confess to doing it, how had he known all those details? Aria's head was spinning, she could not deal with this, not now, not ever.

Aria walked over to the bathroom and checked the medicine cabinet. She found a bottle of sleeping pills, popped two in her mouth and washed them down with some water from the faucet. She looked at herself in the mirror, she looked a mess. She swallowed down a sob and walked over to the bedroom.

She got under the covers and rested her head on her pillow, looking at Ezra's empty side of the bed. She took Ezra's pillow and hugged it to her chest as she started crying into it. Eventually, with the help of the sleeping pills, she cried herself to sleep.

Okay, so that was it for now. Chapter 17 is already in the works. If you're still reading this story, let me know! (aka review ;) )
