Aria's POV

I laughed bitterly, trying so hard not to explode.

“I wonder how your grandfather will feel when he discovers the truth about his precious granddaughter-in-law. Imagine him learning that the woman he chose for his favorite grandson came from a criminal world.”

“Aria!”

“How could you?” Tears spilled down my cheeks, hot and relentless, blurring the man standing before me.

  • Her Face, My Wife's Shadow    Chapter 69: Get Out!

    Aria's POV My heart skipped, keeping my face as still as I could while my gaze moved across the hospital room from the corner of my eyes. The white walls, the stainless steel equipment, and the neatly arranged medical supplies—nothing looked useful enough to defend myself with.“Yo… you?” I whispered, trying hard not to look so scared. “I remember you. Aren't you David?” “Yes, but listen to me…” He lifted one hand and took a step toward me.“Someone help…" His palm clamped over my mouth instantly. I jerked backward, but his other arm locked around me, keeping me firmly against the mattress.“Mmm! Mmm!” Panic surged through me. I twisted hard below his grip, trying to pry his hand away. My weak body protested immediately, pain shooting through my muscles as I struggled.“Listen here,” his voice was low, almost pleading. “I don't want to hurt you, but you have to listen to me.”I didn't believe him. I fought harder to make him let me go. He tightened his hold for a moment before leani

  • Her Face, My Wife's Shadow    Chapter 68: Who Are You?

    Alexander's POV She calmly folded her arms tightly across her chest. The wind went through her average hair as she continued to watch the ocean below. Her face was pale, but the grief carved into her features was noticed.“This was where my son died,” she said, fighting the urge to cry. “I could never forget this place.” I slid my hands into my pocket as I followed her to watch the ocean. She breathed in, her gaze still fixed on the dark water crashing against the rocks far below. “I've been here for a while. I saw you got out of the car, coming toward the railing ““Mom…”“Forget it,” she cut me off before I could finish. “I know what you're going to say.”“I can't believe my son would lie to the family to protect that disgusting woman. You told everyone Gab died in an accident. But that isn't what happened, is it? My son was killed because of Isabella and the man who was with her.”“Mom, plea

    Alexander's POV A red stain spread across my brother’s chest on his shirt, and his body crumpled.“No…” I caught him before his head could hit the ground.“Gabriel.” Blood seeped between my fingers as I pressed my hands against his wound.“Hey, stay with me, brother. Don't close your eyes.”My mother dropped beside us.“Gab! Look at me,” she cried bitterly. “Your mom is here. Nothing will happen to you.”Gabriel's breathing came in shallow, broken gasps. “Mom…”“Yes… yes, dear. Mummy is here." She drew him close to her.His lips hardly moved. “I'm sorry.”“Don't say that!” She sobbed uncontrollably.“You're going to be fine. Do you hear me? Your brother and I are going to save you.”Gabriel's gaze slowly found mine. “Brother…” His voice became faint. “Save… sister-in-law…” His chest rose with difficulty. “And Mom.”“Don't talk.” I tightened my hold on him. “We're taking you to the hospital now.”A weak smile touched his lips. “Tha… thank you, brother.” His eyes slowly closed as his b

    Alexander's POV My heart lurched. What was she doing here as well?I rushed toward them.“What's going on here?”“Alex, don't come any closer!” Isabella warned.Her arm remained extended, the weapon steady despite the turmoil in her expression.“Isabella, don't.” I raised both hands and took a cautious step toward her.“Alex, get away from that woman!” my mother shouted.I spun toward her. “Mom? What are you doing here?”Her face was twisted with anger. “Obviously, I found that woman suspicious from the first day she entered your life. I've been warning your grandfather that she couldn't be trusted, but he refused to listen to me.”She pointed accusingly toward Isabella.“Now look at what I've discovered. If I hadn't followed Gabriel's car, I would never have learned what she really is.”Gabriel stepped forward. His usually playful expression had vanished, replaced by grim seriousness.“Brother…” He hesitated before continuing. “Do you know who your wife really is?”“What are you tal

    Alexander's POV I stared between them; neither of them disappeared.“Evidence can be fabricated,” the man beside the wardrobe replied.The figure near the window gave a mocking chuckle. “Really?” He pushed away from the glass. “Are you suggesting that Aria Bennett doesn't exist?” He gestured toward the unconscious woman on the bed. “If she doesn't exist, then what about her life in New York?”He began walking slowly, “her family, her friends, her classmates, her neighbors, her colleagues, and all those people who knew her long before she ever met Alex.”He stopped and faced me. “Alexander, Isabella is dead.”The words hit something deep inside me.“She's been dead for five years.”He pointed toward Aria. “And this woman is simply someone who happens to have her face. Stop keeping your hopes alive.”The other version of me stepped away from the wardrobe. “You shouldn't listen to him.”My attention shifted toward him.“Investigate the accident.

    Alexander's POV The doctor replied calmly.“She has been under enormous emotional pressure. Her mind hasn't had an opportunity to process everything she's experiencing.”“And if this continues without proper rest, her condition may deteriorate.”“How serious is it?” I asked anxiously. “Serious enough that you shouldn't ignore it.” The doctor replied. “I'm not saying she's going to lose her mind. But if the stress continues unchecked, the consequences could become unbearable.”His words struck harder than I expected.“She needs peace, proper sleep, nutrition, medical supervision, and, preferably, professional support.”I nodded slowly.“She'll be moved to a VIP room once the nurses finish stabilizing her.” The doctor gave me a brief nod. “Excuse me, Mr Sterling.
