Married Twice, Loved Once Before the Judge
7:10 A.M. — Police Headquarters, Detention RoomA new week had begun.Aria woke before the officer came for her.She had barely slept.For most of the night, she had stared at the ceiling, listening to the silence around her and waiting for morning to arrive.Now it was here.The day she would finally stand before a judge.Aria sat slowly on the edge of the narrow bed.Her hands rested on her lap.They were shaking.She looked down at them.For so long, those hands had been used to hold secrets.To sign documents.To make plans.To hurt people.And today, there would be nowhere left to hide.A knock sounded against the door.Aria lifted her head.The female officer stepped inside.“Your lawyer is here.”Aria nodded.“Okay.”She stood.Her legs felt weak, but she forced herself to walk.She was done running.Even if every step forward terrified her.7:30 A.M. — Police Headquarters, Consultation RoomAria's lawyer was waiting when she entered.Several documents were spread across the ta

2:15 P.M. — Police Headquarters, Detention RoomAria sat quietly on the edge of the bed.The hours had moved slowly.She had spent most of the morning thinking about her mother.About everything she had lost.About everything Richard had taken from Clara.And about the court hearing she would soon have to face herself.A knock sounded at the door.Aria looked up.The female officer entered.“Aria, you have a visitor.”Aria frowned.“Who?”“Ethan Cole.”Her expression changed immediately.“Ethan?”The officer nodded.“He's waiting for you.”Aria stood and followed her.2:20 P.M. — Police Headquarters, Visiting RoomEthan was already seated when Aria entered.He stood immediately.Aria sat across from him.For a few seconds, Ethan simply looked at her.She looked nervous.“What happened?” Aria finally asked.Ethan pulled out a chair.“Sit.”“I am sitting.”He smiled faintly.“I have news.”Aria's heart began beating faster.“About my mother?”Ethan nodded.“Yes.”Aria's fingers tightene
Married Twice, Loved Once Richard's verdict
9:00 A.M. — High CourtThe courtroom was packed.Reporters filled the back rows, their cameras ready.The case had attracted public attention for weeks, but today was different.Today, Richard Carter would finally hear his fate.Aria wasn't there.She remained in police custody, waiting for her own court proceedings.But the people connected to Clara were present.Ethan Cole sat at the prosecution table, his files arranged neatly in front of him.Across the courtroom sat Richard.For the first time in years, he looked like a man who had finally run out of places to hide.His lawyer leaned toward him.“Mr. Carter, remain calm.”Richard said nothing.His eyes remained fixed on the judge.Ethan stood when the judge entered.“Everyone rise.”The courtroom fell silent.The judge took his seat.“Be seated.”Everyone sat.The judge looked down at the documents before him.“Mr. Richard Carter, this court has reviewed the evidence presented in the case concerning the death of Clara Lawrence, t

10:30 A.M. — Police Headquarters, Detention RoomAria sat quietly on the edge of the bed.The room was silent.For the first time in days, her thoughts weren't centered entirely on Damian.She still thought about him.She couldn't stop.But she was beginning to understand that there were things in her life that existed beyond the man she had lost.A soft knock came at the door.Aria looked up.The female officer entered.“Aria, you have a visitor.”“Who?”“Ethan Cole.”Aria immediately stood.“Ethan?”The officer nodded.“He's waiting in the visiting room.”Aria followed her.10:40 A.M. — Police Headquarters, Visiting RoomEthan stood when Aria entered.His expression softened when he saw her.Aria sat across from him.For a moment, neither of them spoke.Ethan studied her face.“You look tired.”“I am.”He nodded.“How are you holding up?”Aria gave a faint smile.“I'm trying.”“That's all you can do right now.”Aria lowered her eyes.“Why did you come?”“I wanted to update you.”“Ab

8:40 A.M. — Abandoned Warehouse, East DistrictThe warehouse stood at the far end of an industrial road, surrounded by abandoned buildings and overgrown weeds.It was the kind of place people passed without looking twice.But this morning, several police vehicles were parked around it.Inspector Andrew stepped out of one of the vehicles.He looked toward the warehouse.“We have confirmation he's inside?”“Yes, Inspector.”One of the officers checked his phone.“His vehicle was spotted here early this morning.”Andrew nodded.“Surround the building.”The officers moved into position.Andrew walked toward the entrance with two officers behind him.“Remember, we need him alive.”“Yes, Inspector.”Inside the warehouse, Lucas sat on an old wooden chair.A small bag rested beside him.He had barely slept.For two days, he had been moving from place to place, changing locations and avoiding everyone he knew.But he had made one mistake.He had turned on his phone.Just long enough to check t
Married Twice, Loved Once Heavy Tears
10:15 A.M. — Police Headquarters, Detention RoomThe room was quiet.Aria sat on the edge of the narrow bed, staring at the floor.She hadn't slept properly since her arrest.Every time she closed her eyes, she saw the same things.The bridge.Vivienne falling.The hospital.Damian's face when he heard her confession.The disappointment in his eyes.And the words she could never take back.She had heard the news.She knew what people were saying about her.Evil.Psychopath.Monster.Heartless.At first, the words had hurt.Now she barely reacted to them.Because somewhere inside, she knew she had given people enough reasons to hate her.The sound of footsteps approached.Aria lifted her head.The door opened.A female officer stepped inside.“Aria, you have a visitor.”Aria frowned.“Who?”The officer stepped aside.And then Aria saw her.“Grandma…”Eleanor stood at the doorway.For a moment, neither of them moved.Aria's lips began to tremble.Then the tears came.She covered her fac

11:00 AM. The Penthouse Master Bedroom.The curtains were drawn, casting the room in a soft, melancholic twilight. Aria sat propped up against the pillows of the massive bed, her knees drawn to her chest, her tablet resting on the duvet.She wasn’t reading the news anymore. She was looking at photo

The Next DayVivienne knew something was wrong the moment she walked into the Carter Group boardroom.The air was different. Heavy. No casual chatter. No fake smiles. Just stiff backs, tight jaws, and screens already lit with headlines she hadn’t opened yet but could feel in her bones.She took her

That night, Damian sat alone in his bedroom, sleeves rolled up, laptop open but untouched.His phone buzzed.Unknown number.He frowned slightly, then opened the message.The image loaded slowly.Aria.Standing too close to Lucas.Lucas leaning in, smiling. Aria’s face turned slightly toward him, c
