“Deviana, come in.”

The deep, commanding voice came from behind the frosted glass door.

Deviana swallowed hard, straightened her blazer, and carefully pushed the door open. Her boss’s office—Armand, a man in his early forties with an aura of unshakable authority—was always pristine and cold, every detail reflecting his uncompromising discipline.

Armand sat with folded arms at his desk, his piercing eyes fixed on her the moment she stepped inside.

“Sit.”

She obeyed, though her heart pounded against her ribs.

Armand didn’t waste time. “I’ve been hearing a lot of rumors about you, Deviana.”

The air grew heavy. Deviana parted her lips, but Armand’s voice cut sharper than her breath.

“Flowers on your desk. Meals arriving right on time. And a man frequently waiting outside the building. People are starting to ask—are these opportunities really yours, or are they… supported from the outside?”

Her hands clenched tightly on her lap. “Mr. Armand, please allow me to clarify. Those rumors aren’t

  • Betrayed on the wedding day    Chapter 87

    Night still cloaked the city when Adrian parked his car in the far corner of an old café’s lot, nearly deserted. The streetlights flickered faintly, and the cold air bit through his coat. He sat behind the wheel for a long moment, reconsidering his decision.“Why am I doing this…” he muttered, rubbing his weary face. He knew Deviana would be furious if she ever found out. But Vanessa’s sobs from the night before still haunted him, echoing in his mind like screams he couldn’t silence.At last, with a heavy sigh, he stepped out. The café door creaked as he pushed it open. The smell of stale coffee mixed with dust filled the dim room. In the far corner, a woman sat hunched over, swallowed by an oversized black coat.Adrian froze. He barely recognized her.“Vanessa…” His voice came out faint.The woman lifted her face. Adrian’s breath caught. This wasn’t the Vanessa he knew—no trace of the cunning, confident woman remained. What sat before him was only a shadow of her former self: pale sk

    Adrian’s phone buzzed softly on his desk. He had just finished closing the investigation files he’d been working on with Deviana. The clock showed it was nearly midnight. His eyes were tired, but his mind kept racing, strategizing tomorrow’s next move.The familiar ringtone made his brows furrow. The name glowing on the screen froze him in place: Vanessa.He let out a sharp breath. “What does she want now?” he muttered, ready to ignore it. Yet somehow, his fingers betrayed him, pressing the green button.The voice on the other end made his heart stop.“Adrian…” The voice was hoarse, trembling, thick with held-back sobs. “Help me… I can’t be alone anymore.”Adrian shot to his feet. “Vanessa? What happened? Why do you sound like that?”The sound of her crying bled through the silence, making his office feel unbearably suffocating.“I… I can’t sleep. I keep hearing voices… everyone left me. I… I’m scared, Adrian. I don’t know where else to go.”Adrian rubbed his face, torn. This was the

    “Hello… it’s me, Vanessa. I need help…” Vanessa’s voice shook on the other end of the line, nearly drowned out by her sobs. She dialed number after number, trying to reach the people who had once always surrounded her.But the only answers she received were rejections.“Vanessa, sorry, I can’t talk right now.” Click.“Didn’t I already tell you not to call me again?” Click.“Your problems are too big. I don’t want to get dragged in.” Click.One by one, every ally who once praised her was now gone. In her silent apartment, Vanessa let her phone slip onto the sofa. Her body trembled, her eyes swollen from nights without sleep.“They… they all left me,” she whispered hoarsely. She pressed her hands to her head. “I’m alone…”---That night, with a large coat covering her frail body, Vanessa slipped into a hospital. She kept her head low, afraid someone might recognize her face. The sharp scent of antiseptic stung her nose, making her steps unsteady.A young nurse approached. “Can I help yo

    “I’m fine! Perfectly fine!” Vanessa raised her champagne glass high at the prestigious social event that evening. Her smile was far too wide, her laughter far too loud, prompting several guests to exchange uneasy glances.“Vanessa, you look… different,” a socialite whispered softly.“Different? Hahaha! What do you mean? I’m always dazzling, aren’t I?” Vanessa burst into laughter, but suddenly her eyes welled up with tears. The champagne glass in her hand trembled. “But… why is everyone leaving me? Am I no longer worth anything?”Confusion rippled through the room. An elderly gentleman carefully placed a hand on her shoulder. “Perhaps… you need some rest.”But Vanessa shoved his hand away. “Don’t touch me! You’re all the same! You’re all whispering behind my back, aren’t you?!” Her voice rose, freezing the room into silence.---Several paparazzi cameras present at the event quickly captured the scene. The flash of lights made Vanessa panic even more.“Stop it! Don’t take pictures of m

    “I’m not guilty… I’m not guilty!” Vanessa jolted awake from her restless sleep. Cold sweat drenched her temples, her breath ragged, and her eyes darted wildly around the darkened room. At the edge of the bed, a silhouette stood—Deviana’s shadow, staring at her with accusing eyes, her face blurring and twisting into Adrian’s cold expression.“Go away! Don’t look at me like that!” Vanessa hurled a pillow into the emptiness, her body trembling. Yet when she switched on the lamp, the vision vanished. Only her reflection stared back at her from the mirrored wardrobe: hair disheveled, face pale, eyes swollen with exhaustion.Ever since the fake scandal she orchestrated began unraveling, Vanessa’s nights had become torment. Sleep was never peaceful. Sometimes Deviana appeared in her dreams, reaching for her hand, whispering: “The truth will strip you bare, Vanessa.” Other nights, Adrian turned his back on her, walking away without a glance, leaving her screaming into silence.---The next mo

    “Everyone is against me… everyone!” Vanessa paced back and forth inside her dimly lit, luxurious bedroom. Her hair was in disarray, her fingers clutching her phone so tightly her knuckles turned white. Her bloodshot eyes gleamed with restless anxiety.She opened her messages and began typing furiously:> “If you dare open your mouth about those photos, I’ll make sure your life is destroyed. Don’t even think about crossing me. You know who I am!”Her hands shook, her breath came in sharp bursts. With a final jab of her thumb, she hit send.“Now they’ll know who holds the power,” she muttered with a crooked smile, though her heart pounded violently in her chest.But the smile vanished instantly when she saw the recipient’s name.Not her ally.Not the staff member she meant to threaten.It was Adrian.---Across town, Adrian had just set aside a stack of investigation files when his phone chimed. He raised an eyebrow at the notification.“Vanessa?” he muttered, unlocking the screen.As h
