My heart pounded in my chest as I heard the shrill sound of footsteps rushing towards the stairs. Panic spread like wildfire, but I kept my face a mask of pure innocence. I rushed to the ground floor standing besides Chloe just as the maids and my stepmother flooded into the hallway.

“What's going on here?!” my stepmother demanded, her eyes flicking between me and Chloe's motionless body at the foot of the stairs. Her voice was high-pitched, frantic. “Ash, what happened to Chloe? Why is she lying there?”

I didn’t miss a beat.

“Oh my God! I—I was just in my room when I heard shouting,” I said, my voice shaky but controlled, putting on the perfect act. “I rushed to Chloe’s room and—”

“Shouting? What are you talking about?” My stepmother cut me off, now furrowing her brow at me.

“Yes, shouting. I heard it coming from her room,” I continued, my eyes widening as I painted the perfect picture. “When I went in to see what was going on, she was smashing her phone against the wall. I asked

  • BENEATH THE LIES    I DON'T FEEL THE SAME

    071**STANLEY’S POV**Later that night, I lay on my bed, tossing and turning, waiting for sleep to claim me. But each time I closed my eyes, one face kept haunting me.Alora.Her image burned in my mind, vivid and unrelenting. Why was I losing my sanity over a girl who once worked as a maid in my household? I questioned myself, my thoughts spiraling. Was it pity for her situation, or was there something deeper? Then, like a bolt of lightning, it hit me—I was in love with Alora.But how? Another question surged through my mind like wildfire. Why was I so inexplicably drawn to her? I had no answers, only the pounding of my heart and the certainty that I couldn’t ignore this any longer.I let out a heavy sigh, trying to calm my racing thoughts. It was time to tell Alora how I felt, even if the idea seemed absurd. A wealthy man like me, confessing love to a former maid? Society would scoff, but I didn’t care. My feelings were real, and I had to act on them.Without overthinking it, I leap

  • BENEATH THE LIES    FOLLOW HER.

    070 **STANLEY’S POV** I watched her as she passed me, her shoulder brushing against mine with a force that felt deliberate, almost defiant. My heart pounded, urging me to reach out, to stop her, to say something—anything—to keep her from walking away. But I stood frozen, my feet rooted to the ground, unable to act on the desperate plea echoing in my mind. “My mother’s burial is in two days,” I called after her, my voice cracking with emotion. “Won’t you at least show up for that?” She paused mid-step, her back still to me. For a moment, I thought she wouldn’t respond. Then, softly, she said, “I will.” Turning her head slightly, she added, “See you at the cemetery.” Without another word, she continued walking, her figure growing smaller with each step. I stood there, motionless, watching her fade into the distance. My mind screamed at me to call her back, to beg her to stay. But my lips remained sealed, and my body refused to move. Just like that, I let her walk away. Just like th

  • BENEATH THE LIES    YOU DON'T OWN ME.

    069**ALORA'S POV**Stanley's heavy footsteps echoed through the room as he stormed toward Chloe, his face a mask of fury. He left Charles, whom he had been restraining moments earlier, crumpled on the floor. When Stanley reached Chloe, he raised his hand as if to strike her. She flinched, her body trembling, already intimidated by his towering presence.“I’m sorry, Mr. Stanley,” Chloe stammered, her voice quivering. “I didn’t mean to. I was only trying to save her from falling.”Stanley’s eyes narrowed, his voice dripping with venom. “So now you’re saying I’m blind? I saw the video, Chloe. You pushed my mother down the stairs. You felt no remorse, no sympathy, shoving an elderly woman like that. You’re a psychopath.”Chloe’s face paled. “And yet, you were the one with me at the hospital that day, weren’t you? You sympathized with me, even though you caused my sadness. You cried beside me.”Stanley’s jaw clenched, his hands balling into fists. “I’ll make sure you and your brother rot

  • BENEATH THE LIES    DEATH?

    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

  • BENEATH THE LIES    IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO GET YOURS.

    067ALORA'S POV "Save it!" Stanley yelled, his voice raw with betrayal. "Even with the truth out, you're still lying! I'm ashamed to call you my friend. But what I don’t understand is why. 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. He shot Chloe an aggressive stare, his eyes burning with a mix of anger and disbe

  • BENEATH THE LIES    THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL THE TRUTH?

    066Alora’s POVDoctor Kyle walked towards me, and I smiled at him. He handed me the real envelope containing the pregnancy report. 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

  • BENEATH THE LIES    NOW THEY'D KNOW HOW IT FELT TO BE PLAYED.

    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

  • BENEATH THE LIES    A WIN FOR YOU AND A WIN FOR ME.

    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.” ******

  • 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
