ANDREA

Finally back to my own apartment after months of not being here, I walked into my small studio and decided to bury myself in designing new dresses. It was the only thing that could take my mind off Lia now that I was finally alone.

I set my bag down and tied my hair into a loose bun before walking into my small studio. The familiar scent of fabric and paint hit me the moment I stepped in, it was comforting, and refreshing.

I hadn’t been here in months, not since everything with Lia happened, and now that I was finally alone, I just wanted to focus on something that didn’t involve emotions or chaos.

I turned on the small speaker in the corner, letting soft music fill the room while I organized my sketches and fabric samples.

Sitting at my desk, I flipped open a new page in my sketchbook and started drawing. It felt good to let my hand move freely again, to lose myself in the shapes and colors of the designs forming on the paper.

I didn’t even notice how much time h

    ANDREA “I do.”The words left my lips, soft but steady, even though my heart was beating so loudly in my chest I was sure everyone could hear it. My hands trembled just a little as Alex took my left hand, his thumb brushing over my fingers in a way that calmed me instantly.“I do,” he said right after, his voice firm and full of emotion.He slid the ring onto my finger, and the moment it settled there, something inside me finally clicked into place. This was real. This was happening. All the pain, all the fear, all the loss had led us here.The priest smiled warmly at us. “You may kiss your bride.”Alex did not rush it. He leaned in slowly, his hand resting at my waist as his lips met mine. The kiss was gentle but deep, full of everything we had survived together. My knees weakened slightly, and I had to lean into him to steady myself. I heard soft laughter and quiet sighs around us, but in that moment, it felt like there was no one else in the world.When we pulled apart, the chur

    ANDREAA few month had passed since everything happened, but it felt like the pain was still fresh. I still wasn’t over Lia’s death. Her burial had been two months ago, but I barely remembered any of it. I spent the entire time crying, numb and lost, watching people say their goodbyes while my chest ached like it would never stop. I missed her, my sweet little sister, more than I could put into words.Dad had finalized the divorce with my stepmother after everything she had done, and slowly, things were starting to go back to normal. Aliya had been sentenced to life in prison without the chance of bail, but knowing she was behind bars didn’t take away the scar on my heart. Nothing could erase the betrayal, the fear, or the knowledge that someone so close to us had caused so much pain.I decided to bury myself in work. Designing new pieces, planning fashion shows, and spending time with Kate and Lexi became my escape. We laughed, planned, and created together, and in those moments

    ALEXANDER A few days later, the final results came in.I stood in a quiet room with files spread across the table, listening as everything was explained to me in clear, calm words. The DNA tests were complete. The dental records matched. There was no room left for doubt.The body was Lia Dale.The real Lia.According to the autopsy, she had been hit on the head. The injury alone would not have killed her, but it would have left her disoriented and weak. The cause of death was drowning. The investigators believed she had been pushed off a bridge into the water below. Her body stayed trapped somewhere downstream until time and rain finally carried it into the small stream near our construction site.Three years.Lia had been dead for three years.I sat back in the chair, my chest tight, my thoughts spinning. Nothing made sense and yet everything suddenly did. Every strange moment. Every uneasy feeling Andrea had. Every time something about Lia felt wrong but could never be explained.

    ALEXANDERI walked into my office and loosened my tie, my mind already back at home with Andrea. The meeting had dragged longer than it should have, and all I wanted was to get out of here and get back to her. I was reaching for my jacket when the door opened.Cole stepped in, his expression serious.“Before you leave,” he said, closing the door behind him, “we found something on the new site.”That made me stop. I turned to face him. “Found what?”Cole did not answer right away. He tapped his iPad and turned the screen toward me.“Just watch,” he said quietly.The video started playing. It was shaky, clearly taken by someone on site. I leaned forward without realizing it. The camera showed a narrow stream at the edge of the land we had just acquired for the new project. The water was shallow, barely moving.Then I saw it.A body lay half in the water, half on the muddy bank.I frowned immediately. The body was in bad shape. Too much time had passed. The face was swollen and unrecogni

    ANDREA The memory hit me all at once and my chest tightened. I looked up at my stepmother, my heart beating hard. “The necklace,” I said quickly. “My mom’s necklace. How did you get it?” The room went very quiet. “That necklace was never found on my mother’s body,” I continued, my voice shaking despite my effort to stay calm. “So it didn’t just appear out of nowhere. You had it. And I want to know why.” My father turned to her slowly, confusion clear on his face. “What necklace is she talking about?” My stepmother’s lips parted, then closed again. She looked at Andrew, then at me, and for the first time since I walked into the room, she looked nervous. Andrew stepped forward. “Answer her,” he said firmly. “No lies this time.” She swallowed hard. “I… I did not steal it,” she said quickly. “I never meant to hide it.” “That is not what she asked,” Andrew replied. “She asked how you got it.” "The night of the accident," she started and we all stared at her like she was going to

    ANDREAMy stepmother straightened in her seat, clearly confused. “What is going on?” she asked, her voice tight. “Andrew, you are scaring everyone.”Andrew exhaled slowly, like he had been holding it in for too long. “After Andrea was kidnapped, Alex and I agreed on one thing,” he said. “We did not trust Lia. Not then. Not now.”My stomach sank a little at her name.“So we started looking into her,” Andrew continued. “At first it was just her. Her movements. Her contacts. Her past. But then we realized something did not sit right, so we widened the search.”My father frowned. “Widened it how?”“To the Grey family,” Andrew said. “Before the divorce. Before you married Mom.” His eyes flicked briefly to my stepmother, then back to my father. “We decided to investigate the entire family history.”The room went quiet.Andrew clasped his hands together. “What we found took time. A lot of time. Records buried. Names altered. Places changed. But eventually, it all lined up.”I felt my chest t
