Episode: 3
Aria meets Isabella Wayland at a cafe to sign the settlement agreement. She makes it clear she is leaving because of Luke's betrayal, signs the papers, and leaves. Back home, Aria packs her clothes and texts Luke an excuse about a business trip. After seeing online photos of Luke with his bride, Aria packs up her office desk. She returns home and shatters their framed couple photo on the bathroom floor.
Isabella Wayland asks Aria to sign a settlement agreement. Aria signs the paperwork and declares that seven years of devotion earned her the fifty million dollars. She tells Isabella that Luke's betrayal is the real reason she is leaving Newport.
Aria packs her clothes into a suitcase inside her bedroom. She spots social media posts of Luke holding a marriage agreement with his bride. Aria then texts Luke to claim she is leaving for a short business trip.
Aria views another Instagram post of Luke with the woman at a mansion. She finishes packing her work items into a cardboard box. With her belongings boxed up, Aria walks out of the corporate office building for the final time.
Aria clears her toothbrush out of the bathroom. She picks up a framed photo of herself and Luke from the counter. Aria deliberately drops the frame onto the tile, watching the glass shatter before she walks away into the shadows.
“Sign the papers, and I'll transfer half the money to your account. The rest will be transferred on the day you leave Newport in 2 weeks.”
“I'm leaving Luke, not because you told me to. You already know what your son did. If I stayed after that, I'd be disrespecting myself.”
“50 million is nothing to you. But after 7 years of giving everything I had, I deserve this.”
“Go ahead. Tell him.”
Aria throws away her bathroom items and drops her framed couple photo with Luke directly onto the floor. The glass shatters into sharp pieces, and Aria walks away into the dark. Will Luke realize Aria has quietly begun erasing him from her life before she leaves Newport permanently?
