IT STARTED WITH A LIE AND ENDED WITH US. Chapter 81
As the car drove away from the Miller estate, the grand iron gates disappearing in the rearview mirror, Bianca couldn't shake the uneasy feeling settling in her chest. She stared out the window, watching the tall hedges and manicured lawns blur past, but her mind was stuck back in that ornate living room.Mrs. Miller had been nothing but kind. Welcoming, even. There had been no arguments, no cold stares, no cutting remarks about her background or her worth. It was as if Bianca's arrival had been expected—celebrated, even."Don't you think your parents were acting strange?" Bianca turned to Justin, her brow furrowed. "I expected resistance. I prepared myself for a fight. But they just... accepted me. Like they were glad it was me."Justin let out a long, weary sigh and pulled her into his arms, guiding her head to rest against his shoulder. She went willingly, the tension in her body slowly unraveling at his touch."I expected that reaction from my mom," he admitted, his voice low. "To

Mrs. Miller was descending the stairs slowly, each step deliberate, her silk robe trailing behind her like a whisper. The morning light streamed through the large bay windows, casting long golden rectangles across the marble floor. Her expression was unreadable—calm on the surface, but her eyes were sharp, assessing, already cataloging everything she saw.Mr. Miller, as usual, was focused on the paper in his hand, his reading glasses perched low on his nose. He sat in his favorite leather armchair, his left leg crossed over the right, completely absorbed in whatever financial report or business news had captured his attention. He didn't look up when his wife descended. He didn't look up when the front door opened. The world could have been ending outside, and he probably wouldn't have noticed until the smoke reached his study.Mrs. Miller was the first person to spot Justin and Bianca walking into the room. Her hand froze on the polished wooden banister. Her foot hovered mid-step. For

Silence stretched across the living room like a drawn wire ready to snap. Grandpa Josh’s eyes never left Bianca’s as he spoke.“Give us a moment, sweetheart. I need to have a word with this young man.”His tone was firm, heavy with authority — the kind that did not need to be raised to be obeyed.Bianca hesitated.She trusted her grandfather with her life. But not when it came to Justin. Not when it came to the man she loved. She could almost predict what was coming, could almost see the storm gathering behind her grandfather’s calm exterior.After a long moment of internal battle, she finally gave in. She forced herself to breathe. Before turning toward the stairs, she offered Justin a small, encouraging smile — one filled with hope he wasn’t sure he deserved.Then she disappeared.The air thickened the moment she left.Justin swallowed and faced the man seated before him — the infamous McKenzie patriarch. A man whose presence alone carried weight.“I really do love your granddaughte

At home, Bianca lay on the couch, eyes closed, her body finally surrendering to the exhaustion that had been chasing her for days. The soft glow of the table lamp cast warm shadows across the living room, illuminating the delicate curve of her jaw, the faint purple shadows beneath her eyes, the way her chest rose and fell in slow, measured breaths. She seemed to be trying to get some rest—truly trying—her fingers uncurled at her sides, her face relaxed for the first time in what felt like forever.The house was quiet. The kind of quiet that settled into the walls and whispered of peace. Somewhere in the distance, a clock ticked steadily, marking the passage of time like a heartbeat.Monica sat on the couch next to her, curled into the corner with her legs tucked beneath her, her phone glowing in her hands. She had been scrolling for the better part of an hour—catching up on emails, checking social media, idly thumbing through the news—when her finger froze mid-scroll.Her eyes widened

"Please, hear me out, Bianca." Justin's voice echoed through the corridor, desperate and raw. His footsteps quickened as he followed her, his dress shoes clicking against the polished marble floor in an uneven rhythm. "Just give me five minutes. That's all I'm asking. Five minutes to explain.""Hell I will," Bianca snapped without turning around, her voice sharp enough to cut glass. Her heels struck the floor with angry precision, each step a declaration of war. "I am not stupid, Justin. I haven't been stupid for a very long time. Not since you taught me exactly what trusting a person costs."She kept walking, her posture rigid, her shoulders squared. The corridor seemed to stretch endlessly before her, fluorescent lights buzzing overhead, casting everything in harsh, unforgiving brightness. A few office workers had stopped to stare, their conversations dying mid-sentence as they watched the scene unfold. Bianca didn't care. Let them watch. Let them talk. She was done pretending."I n

The slap came out of nowhere.One moment Bianca was stepping out of the black town car, adjusting the strap of her designer bag against her shoulder, her heels clicking confidently against the sun-warmed pavement. The next, her head snapped violently to the side as sharp nails raked across her cheek with enough force to send a shockwave of pain through her skull. The sting exploded instantly—hot, blinding, humiliating. Her vision blurred for a split second, white spots dancing at the edges of her eyes.A chorus of gasps rippled through the small crowd gathering near the building's entrance. People stopped mid-stride. Conversations died. Phones began to rise, cameras angled toward the scene like hungry mouths."You are a shameless whore!" Arian screamed, her voice shrill with fury, sharp enough to cut glass. She shoved Bianca again, hard enough to make her stumble backward, her manicured nails digging into Bianca's shoulder before releasing. "How dare you touch my husband? How dare you

The car came to a smooth halt, its soft purr fading as the engine died. The silence that followed was oddly calming, yet my heart thudded quietly in anticipation. Justin stepped out first, walking with his usual calm authority. I followed, trailing behind him as he led me into the building that sto

Unwillingly, I stepped outside, my feet dragging against the tiled floor as if every movement was being weighed down by my own hesitation. I stood at the door, torn between choices, unsure if I should walk away or stay and wait for him. The silence around me was loud—louder than my thoughts.Every

I stepped out of the bath, my skin still tingling from the warmth of the water, wrapped snugly in a towel—his towel. It was soft, still carrying the faintest trace of his scent, though clean enough to use. Luckily for me, I had found it folded neatly in one of his drawers. I didn’t ask for permissi

We walked through the crowded club, bodies pressed against one another in wild rhythm, the air thick with the scent of alcohol, sweat, and perfume. The music pounded loud and heavy, each beat threatening to rupture my eardrums. I had no idea where we were headed—I simply followed behind him, lost i
