There was a sting in my chest. Not just a sting,it was as if my heart was being ripped apart.

Everything I thought was a lie.

How could I have been so blind. Such a fool not to see even the slightest signs.

How?

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    Tongue Loose, spilling poison

    Aria’s POV One minute, I was in jail, strategizing about what other crazy things I could do to convince the nurses and the whole prison that I was crazy. The next, I was being escorted into a van, and without any explanation, they drove me to town. I asked and asked, but nobody answered me. I still didn't understand what was happening. Was this part of Dr. Edward's plan? Was his plan finally working? We were back in DL City, and my confusion doubled when they took me to court. The same court where my hearing had taken place. Nobody told me there was a court hearing going on. I didn't even know what was happening. What am I doing here? “What's going on?” I managed to ask the guards. Nobody answered me. Quietly, I followed them into the courtroom. There was a hearing was already ongoing, and it seemed everyone was waiting for someone. As I stepped inside, all eyes turned towards me. Me. I was the someone they had been waiting for. Why? Was I being set with more charges?

  • 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

    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.

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
