ALORA'S POV

060

"Uhm, I… I uhm, I'm…" I stammered, my voice faltering as a knot formed in my throat. I had no idea what to say to the stern man staring at me. But then it struck me—everyone believed I was Mr. Stanley’s wife now. If I played that role convincingly, and backed it with the photos I’d collected, there was no way he wouldn’t believe me.

Straightening my shoulders, I forced the trembling out of my voice. “I’m… I’m Mrs. Stanley. Mr. Stanley’s wife. And you must be Mr. Grey.”

He stared at me, his lips tightening. “Women like you disgust me,” he snapped without hesitation.

My breath caught in my chest. Had I heard that right? “Did you just say I disgust you?” I asked, stunned.

He didn’t even blink. “You claim to be his wife, yet you go around cheating on him. Yeah, I saw the whole thing.”

“Mr. Grey, please,” I pleaded quickly, pushing down the wave of anger and shame rising in me. “I need your help. This is about my dignity—”

“Dignity?” he barked out a dry laugh. “What dignity

  • BENEATH THE LIES    LET THEM ROT IN THEIR ASSUMPTIONS.

    ALORA'S POV061“Really?” I asked, stepping closer to him, my voice tight with disbelief.“Yes, really,” Mr. Grey replied, tapping a few keys on his laptop. “When I checked the footage again, I noticed it had been blurred using some kind of virus filter. But it’s not permanent—I can fix it. I can help you.”I stared at him. My heart jumped, but I forced myself to stay calm. I couldn't afford to let hope ruin my focus.“Thank you,” I breathed. “Seriously, Mr. Grey, I don’t know what I would’ve done without you. Do you think you can get it done by tomorrow?”He hesitated for a second, then nodded confidently. “I’ll work through the night if I have to. You’ll have it by tomorrow. I promise.”I let out a slow breath, tension peeling off me like old skin. “Thanks,” I said quietly. “I’m counting on you.”“You should,” he said simply.Without another word, I turned and left the room. There was no time to lose. I needed to show Stanley the footage of Chloe pushing his mother. He deserved the

  • BENEATH THE LIES    KNOW YOUR LIMITS.

    062ALORA'S POVI picked up my phone from the bed—again. I needed to search for an AI expert, someone skilled enough to detect whether a video was fake or not.I kept scrolling, but most of the profiles I found lacked experience. Their bios made it obvious—they hadn’t been in the field long.I sighed and rubbed my forehead. All this stress, all because of a false allegation. But it was worth it if it meant proving my innocence.I continued searching until I stumbled upon one bio that caught my attention. The man wasn’t too young, but not old either—55 years of age with twelve years of experience. His name was Jeremy.A smile tugged at my lips. I quickly scrolled up to check how much he charged, and to my surprise, it wasn’t much.He looked perfect for the job. Even in his photo, he looked strict—like someone who couldn’t be easily bought.I copied his contact details and placed a call immediately. The first call rang out. Then the second. Still nothing.“I’ll try one more time,” I mut

  • BENEATH THE LIES    DO YOU HAVE THE RECORDING

    063ALORA'S POV I turned and stared at him. "Why the hell do you need his number?" I asked as I walked forward to where he stood beside Doctor Kyle. "So what? Now I don't have the right to have the number of the doctor who'll be handling the test results? Remember, this is our child we're talking about." "Our?" I asked. I chuckled. "You're so delusional, Charles, and I can't wait for everyone to find out the truth." "What truth?" he asked, smirking at me. I glared at him. "The truth—that I'm not carrying a child in my womb. Not for you. Not for anyone." Without another word, I turned and walked out of the room, my legs carrying me faster than I could ever imagine. I strode to the car and got in, shutting the door behind me. Soon enough, I spotted Stanley, Chloe, and Charles coming. I couldn't help but smile. Charles thought collecting Doctor Kyle's number would do him any good. He thought he'd be able to bribe him. Well, from what I know about Doctor Kyle, he's a very honest

    064 **ALORA'S POV** “You were right, Alora,” he said, his voice tinged with grim satisfaction. “He called just as you predicted, asking me to accept his proposal and cover up his mess without the reports.” My voice crackled through the phone, sharp and focused. “Hope you got everything recorded without any mistakes?” “Yes, I did,” he replied. “I’m sending it to you right now.” “Thank you very much, Mr. Kyle. I don’t know what I would’ve done without you.” “It’s nothing much,” he said modestly. “I just wanted to help. For now, try to rest and stay alert. The results will be at your door tomorrow morning.” “Alright, thank you so much, Mr. Kyle,” I said, gratitude flooding my chest. He ended the call, and within seconds, my phone pinged with the recording he’d sent. I opened it, listening briefly to confirm its clarity. Charles’s voice, smug and manipulative, echoed through the speaker. Got you. I smirked, leaning back in my bed. “You meet your doom tomorrow, Charles.” ******

    065**Alora's POV**The next morning, I was already awake, my eyes glued to the clock as it ticked past 5 a.m. A restless energy coursed through me, urging me to get ready before the reports arrived from Dr. Kyle. My stomach twisted with a mix of anticipation and dread, but I forced myself to focus on the day ahead, determined to face whatever was coming.I hurriedly dashed into the bathroom, the cold tiles sending a shiver up my spine. A few minutes later, I stepped out, my skin still damp from the rushed shower, a towel wrapped tightly around my body. Water dripped onto the floor as I moved, leaving a faint trail behind me.Before I could take another step, my phone began buzzing insistently on the bed. Someone was calling me. My heart skipped a beat as I crossed the room, each vibration amplifying the tension in the air. I picked up the phone and answered it, my fingers trembling slightly. Dr. Kyle’s voice came through the line, calm and steady: “I’m on my way to the address you ga

I opened it calmly and slid my hand inside to pull it out.Once I had it in my hand, I took a quick look at the results—and smirked.Negative.I held the report up confidently for everyone to see. “Here are the results,” I said, my voice steady.To my surprise, Stanley stepped forward and collected the paper from me. That alone was shocking, but what shocked me more was the fact that he smiled as he looked at it.“The results are negative,” Stanley announced clearly, holding the document up.“That’s not possible!” Charles exclaimed immediately, his voice filled with disbelief. “How can we even trust this doctor’s authenticity? Alora must’ve teamed up with him and forged the report!”Dr. Kyle stepped forward, clearly offended. “I know my hospital isn't big, and I don’t have a flashy reputation. But that doesn’t mean these reports are false. The test was co

Why the hell did you lie, saying Alora was pregnant with your child? You released that video on our wedding day, didn’t you? Why did you do that?"Stanley’s hands shot forward, seizing Charles by the collar. His fists rained down, each punch fueled by rage and heartbreak. The room seemed to spin as the crowd gasped, their murmurs blending into a chaotic hum. Charles staggered under the blows, his face contorting in pain, but Stanley’s fury showed no signs of relenting.Chloe stepped forward, her voice trembling yet defiant. "Stanley, what are you doing? You’re hitting your friend! Charles isn’t lying—Charles couldn’t possibly lie. Alora is the liar here!""Shut up!" Stanley’s voice sliced through the air like a blade.

    ALORA'S POV068 She flinched, her eyes wide with surprise. I knew she was wondering what evidence I could possibly have against her, and I also knew she wasn’t the only one. Everyone else in the room was wondering the same thing, their gazes shifting between Chloe and me, the air thick with tension. “What could Chloe have possibly done?” Stanley asked, his voice sharp as he stared at me. He was still gripping Charles, who claimed to be a man but couldn’t even muster the strength to fight back. Charles squirmed under Stanley’s hold, his face flushed with embarrassment, but Stanley’s attention was fixed on me, demanding answers. “You’ll see,” I replied, my voice steady as I walked toward Chloe. Tears glistened in her eyes, her composure crumbling under the weight of my approach. She looked like a cornered animal, desperate for an escape but knowing there was none. I stopped in front of her, my gaze unwavering. “Will you confess your sin, Chloe, or should I help you do it? I’ve given
