Rhea's Pov

I let my hands drop, my eyes wide and full of genuine hurt, even though the pain was all for show. I let my voice crack as I spoke.

“What did I do, Ginny? What did I possibly do to make you hate me enough to try and kill me?” I pleaded, my voice breaking, “Did… did I do something wrong? Did I hurt you without knowing? Why did you want me dead?”

Ginny’s face hardened. She looked at me, her mouth twisting in a sneer, and let out a cold laugh, “Oh, Rhea. Stop pretending. If I knew that you wouldn't die and you would come out from that coma, I would have bribed the nurses to kill you in the hospital. Then, none of this would have happened. I would still be the daughter of a rich man but you took that all away from me! You took my life away from me! I'll kill you! I'll fucking kill you! Ahhh!”

A wild look of desperation and fury contorted Ginny’s face. She lunged, her hands like claws reaching for my throat. I stood frozen for a split second before two security guards grabbed h

    Rhea's Pov I stuck out my tongue, “Yes. Be nervous. And dramatic. I won’t accept anything less.” I tapped his chest playfully. Alaric’s laughter softened. He cupped my face with both hands and for a heartbeat he simply looked at me, like he was committing this version of me to memory, “I promise.” He said, “I’ll be dramatic. I’ll be nervous. I’ll embarrass myself in the most spectacular fashion if it will make you happy.”“Good.” I breathed.He hugged me again, tighter this time, like he was trying to keep me from floating away, “One month of planning, and a proper proposal.” He murmured into my hair, “And then we’ll get married. Slowly. Exactly how you want.”I laughed against him, the sound small and delighted, “Exactly. And you’ll wear something ridiculous that I pick.”He snorted, “I will not wear anything ridiculous.”“You’ll wear a bow tie.” I said, certain, “A bow tie with little pictures of my faces embroidered on it.”“Embroidery?” He pretended to be scandalised, “Do you kn

    Rhea's Pov Alaric flicked me on the head playfully, “Tell me why I should touch your dramatic skull?” He murmured but still sat facing me, his hands raised. I beamed and immediately turbines around, then when I felt his slightly cold fingertips on my forehead, I shivered in delight. “Because I'm your wife?” I answered, shrugging, “You have to give me everything I want or else, I'll divorce you.” “Divorce me? Do you really think I'll let you do that? You're stuck with me Rhea, even if you run away, I'll look until the ends of the earth to find you. So don't even think of leaving me.” Alaric said calmly, like he was just talking about the weather. I wanted to retort, to say something back but the atmosphere had suddenly changed. It was charged, hotter and filled with something more… What he said just now was supposed to freak me out, wasn't it? He was admitting his possessiveness towards me and as a woman, it's supposed to scare me, right? But why the hell am I feeling like this? “

    Rhea's Pov “It's because of you. It's all because of you! Everything has been taken away because of you!” Ginny screamed, her eyes bloodshot and veins popped out for her forehead and neck. Like Howard, she looked dirty and wrinkled. Ginny was obsessed with her looks, so I thought no matter how long she stayed in prison, it wouldn't affect her that much. She would have looked for ways to still keep her appearance as normal as she could. But it seems her second time in prison really broke her to the extent that if a schoolmate of hers saw her like this, they would not be able to recognise her. “Ginny, are you saying that after I found out about everything Howard did to get his wealth, I should have kept quiet? I shouldn't have reported him? Don't you feel pity for those children who were sacrificed to get the wealth?” “Feel pity?” Ginny said, the corners of her mouth twitching, “Why should I? I'm not the one who sold them, they have no grudge against me. I didn't do anything to

    Rhea's Pov It was the day of the final hearing already, and time seemed to move so fast. The city itself seemed to be holding its breath. From the windows of the black car Alaric and I rode in, I could see reporters crowding every street corner near the courthouse, their cameras flashing, their microphones raised, their voices shouting questions. Inside the courtroom, the atmosphere was nothing short of electric. Rows upon rows of wooden benches overflowed with spectators, journalists, and families who had been following the Thorne-Laurent scandal since the first day it erupted. When the bailiff called order, the doors at the back of the courtroom swung open. Howard Thorne and Mr. Laurent were escorted inside. The crowd buzzed with disdain, whispers of disgust rippling across the room. Everyone knew what these men had done. Everyone knew the lives they had destroyed.The judge’s gavel came down, silencing the noise.“This is the final hearing in the case of Howard Thorne and Hen

    Rhea's Pov He glanced down at me, one brow slightly raised, “You just took down two of the most powerful men in the city, and now you’re acting like a spoiled kitten.” “Mm, but I am tired.” I said, puffing my cheeks a little. I curled up sideways, resting my head on his chest, then peeked up at him, “Don’t you feel bad for me?” His lips curved, slow and dangerous, like he was holding back a laugh. He brushed a strand of hair off my face with his long fingers, his touch lingering, “You don’t look like someone who needs pity. You looked like you were born to sit in that courtroom and crush them all.” I scrunched my nose and poked his chest, “Stop saying it like that. I wasn’t ‘crushing’ anyone. I was just… proving the truth.” “And you enjoyed every second of it.” His voice dipped lower, smooth and teasing. I gasped dramatically and hid my face against him, “I did not! Do I look evil to you?” “Yes.” He answered without hesitation, his tone flat but his hand already strokin
