Alina’s POV

I swear, I was the most confused person in the room.

From following Edrick to his father's study, to the argument slowly, slowly escalating, to my mother coming in, and then to Edrick shouting, “It was you! You're the one! You paid the judge!”

Lord, it felt like the world was going to end.

I stopped and watched as he went back and forth with his father, but the words kept repeating in my head.

He paid the judge.

Mr. Vale paid the judge.

He's the one covering for Aria.

He would be charged as well.We sat and watched as the proceedings began.Everyone stood as the judge entered.

I wasn't involved, I swear.”Of course, she was going to try to save herself.I watched in silence.“The only thing I wanted was for my daughter to be saved.

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    Shattered trust

    Edrick’s POVI went straight to my study and sat down. I didn't know how long I stayed there, but I just wanted to be alone.My head was spinning. My father?Why would my father betray me?I tried to go back down memory lane. What relationship could he possibly have with Aria that would make him risk his own life, his own dignity, for her?It didn't make sense, but it was clear that he had done it.He had done it.There was no denying it.I was restless. I didn't want to go and check up on him. The doctor had said he had just fainted and that it wasn't anything serious, but I still didn't want to see him.Checking up on him meant seeing his face and remembering that he had been betraying me right under my nose.My mind went back to the times he had anxiously asked me if we had found anything, if there were any updates on the person who had bribed the judge.Oh, he had been trying to cover his tracks?Why? Why?I buried my face in my hands as I thought.I hated this. I hated this.A k

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    A Taste of Madness

    Aria’s POVDoctor Edward had said he would help me. He refused to call Mother, and he never told me how he would help me. He just gave me instructions.“They already think you’re crazy. That’s a good thing, and you can use that to your advantage,” he said.“I don’t understand, Doctor.”“I can help you, but you have to be ready to play the role of a mad woman.”It sounded like a completely dumb plan. “A madwoman?”“Yes, Aria. You have to prove that you’re crazy. Act crazy. As you walk out of here, anything a mentally unstable person would do, that’s what you do. That’s the only way you can protect yourself from being killed.”I didn't get what he was aiming for, Still, I nodded.“And what will you do after that?”“Just do that, and by our next session, we’ll talk more about this.”I smiled. Thank you. The mention of our next session gave me so much hope. He wasn’t canceling the sessions.I stood to my feet, but before I could walk out, I turned to ask him one question.“Why are you he

It did. The hatred he had towards me, and the way he always supported Aria, even when her lies were coming to light.But why?What did he gain from supporting her?It just didn't make any sense.They went back and forth, back and forth. My mother stood there, crying her eyes out.Why was she even here? And why was she crying?But it all made sense. She was here because they were probably planning, hatching new plans to get Aria out of jail.By the time Edric called J

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    The Big Reveal

    Edrick’s POV“Mom, what are you doing here?” Alina asked her mother.But that wasn't the problem.The room was spinning. The dots started coming together. The money came from our company. The person who sent the money was our employee. Christy Smith said her dad worked for Mr. Vale, but assumed he was older than me.Older Mr. Vale. No.How did I not see it?Father had been supporting Aria all this time.No. My father wouldn't do it. I refuse to believe it. But still, I said it: “You're the one.”“What are you talking about, Edrick?”Sweat beaded on his forehead. It was all making sense now. Aria's mother visiting him. They were plotting.“You're the one,” I said again, this time louder.“Edrick.” Father came close to me, and I swear his hands were trembling as he tried to hold me.“You paid the judge.”“What?” He squinted at me. “No,” he said between laughs, a very awkward, nervous laugh. “Are you crazy, Edrick? That's bullshit.”“You hired the fucking judge. You paid him. You bri

    Aria’s POVThe burns weren't that serious. At least, that's what the nurses said.The guards didn't even care. And even though the burns were minor, they still left marks on my skin.Still, the next day, I was pulled out of the line and escorted to the kitchen to wash dishes with her again.Did these people care at all? I wondered.But there was no sign of care on their faces."She's going to kill me, I swear!" I cried to the guards as they escorted us. "Look at her! She's trying to harm me. She burned me. She cut me. She started the fight!"But it was as if I were some crazy bitch hallucinating.Not a single guard said a word until we reached the kitchen."You can see your doctor tomorrow. Then you can make all these crazy complaints to him," one of the guards said before closing the door.I was left alone with her again, but thankfully, she didn't try to harm me today.Still, the colder and quieter she was, the more alert I became.I stayed away from the hot water, stayed away from
