Aria Vs. An Ambitious Gold Digger Chapter 10
That night, my father burned my mother's nightgown himself. The silence on his grim face seemed to dance with the flames.I didn't try to stop him. Some things were better lost than left forever defiled.The next day, property management posted a notice in the neighborhood group chat. Heather and Hugh DeVry, along with Sarah Sweeney, were permanently banned from entering the neighborhood.Videos of the chaos and confrontations they had caused also began circulating online after our neighbors uploaded the recordings they had taken themselves.There were few things Heather cared about more than her reputation. She had once exploited her resemblance to my mother to win sympathy from our neighbors, but now everyone knew she had gone to great lengths to reconstruct her face just so she could squat in someone else's home alongside her good-for-nothing brother.The employment agency also removed her from its priority list after the incident.One staff member who had worked with her clai

I felt my heart stop for a moment. That was the last gift my mother had given me before she died.Heather planted her foot on it. "Let Hugh go, then give me seventy-five grand... or I'll crush this under my heel."My father's voice rang out in alarm. "Don't you dare!""Oh, I dare!" she cackled, her whole body shaking with laughter. "What else do I have to lose? You care a fuck ton about your mommy, don't you? She's already gone, and all you have left is this stupid earring. How pathetic!"My father tried to rush forward to grab it, but I stopped him. "Oh, so you're after money?"She mistook my calm for surrender. "Yep. And I just decided the price went up. Make it 85 grand. I want it in cash, and whatever happened today stays here. No one says a word about any of this!"Hugh seemed convinced his sister had gained the upper hand. "Exactly! And pay off all my debt while you're at it! If you don't meet every single one of our generous requests, we'll expose everything about your fam

My eyes stayed fixed on Heather's face as my stomach churned. Photos of her undergoing plastic surgery?My father understood the implication instantly. His expression darkened even further.Hugh was sweating like a pig. "No! It's not what you people think!"I wasn't about to let him lie anymore. I took his phone and opened his conversation with Heather.As it turned out, she had sent him a photo she had secretly taken early on. It was a side-profile picture of my mother when she was younger.[I want to look like this. The closer the resemblance, the better.]Hugh: [Girl, the doctor said he could only make you... about 30% similar. Your face isn't gonna be able to handle too much change.]Heather replied with a voice message, which I played at full volume in the living room."That's good enough. If I resemble her too closely, it'll actually make me seem fake. I just need enough similarity to fool a poor widowed sucker like Henry. People like him will do anything to ease their re

The property manager grimaced. "Mr. Windsor, I can assure you that these people are permanently banned from entering this neighborhood."Heather stared at him in disbelief. "How dare you?! I live here!""Really?" I cut in, pulling up a PDF copy of the villa's deed from the cloud and holding it in front of her. "Take a good look. This villa belongs to me. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You've been squatting here for days."The moment she saw my name, Aria Windsor, on the deed, her tears stopped. Her lips trembled. "How... But this house was supposed to be...""Her mother left this home to her," my father said as he stepped up behind me. "In truth, I'm little more than a glorified caretaker who looks after the villa while she's away."The crowd outside broke into murmurs, pointing and whispering among themselves.Sarah flushed with humiliation and looked as though she wanted the ground to open up and swallow her.Hugh, however, proved far less susceptible to shame. "S

My father ordered his driver to close the gate, and that was the moment Heather realized she had messed up."W-What are you trying to do?" she asked, trembling.He ignored her and instructed Sarah to bring out every single item Heather had taken before.Sarah's hands shook visibly as she carried out a stack of clothes and a jewelry box from the master bedroom.It was appalling. That woman had touched so many of my mother's belongings. Her scarf, her perfume, even her pearl earrings. The higher the pile grew, the paler my father became.I picked up one of the pearl earrings and noticed its bent hook. It hadn't looked like that before. My mother had left this pair for my 18th birthday."You wore these?!" I cried, staring at Heather.She bit her lip and refused to answer.Hugh, however, could not keep his mouth shut. "Wait, didn't you say you were gonna pawn those earrings after you had your fun wearing them?""Shut up!" she shrieked.My father rubbed his temple. "I want every o

Hugh froze mid-motion. Heather's face turned deathly pale.Then, in record time, she forced a few tears from her eyes, pretended to stumble, and rushed toward the door. "Mr. Windsor! You're finally home!"I looked up.My father stood outside the courtyard, his expression cold enough to chill the air.Heather tried to throw her arms around him, but he sidestepped her without a trace of emotion. She stumbled past him and nearly crashed face-first onto the walkway.She burst into even louder sobs."This woman barged into the house and said she's younger than me, so you must like her better! Then she hit me and tried to steal everything you've given me!" she wailed. "She was so violent that Hugh had no choice. He only did what he did to protect me!""Exactly what my sister said!" Hugh chimed in. "You wouldn't believe the things she was saying before you arrived. They weren't just offensive. They were downright insulting!"Sarah also began wiping at tears that weren't there."Mr. W
