Married Twice, Loved Once The Phantom Limb
8:45 PM. The Penthouse.Aria stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the skyline. From this height, the city looked like a circuit board of gold and amber. Far in the distance, the lights of the Link Bridge cut through the darkness like a suspended blade.She held a glass of Pinot Grigio, but she hadn’t taken a sip in twenty minutes. The condensation dripped cold onto her fingers, but she didn’t wipe it off.She was back in the car.“I like the wind. It feels like flying.”The words looped in her mind, over and over.It wasn’t just what Vivienne said. It was the biological impossibility of it.Aria knew fear. She knew the smell of it, the twitch of it. When they were children, Vivienne used to scream if a cockroach scurried across the floor. When they were teenagers, Vivienne refused to watch horror movies because they gave her nightmares.And today? Aria had driven like a madwoman on the very site of Vivienne's near-death experience.And Vivienne had just… smiled.It was

6:00 PM. The Carter Mansion.Richard Carter walked into his study, his steps heavy. The meeting with the bank had been a disaster. They were getting nervous about the leadership changes at the Carter Group. They wanted assurances that only Aria could give.He rubbed his face, groaning. He needed a drink.He walked to the hidden wall safe behind the mahogany bookshelf not the one in the bedroom, but the one where he kept the real keys. The keys to the storage units, the safe deposit boxes, and the attic.He spun the dial. Right. Left. Right.Click.He pulled the heavy steel door open.He reached for the small brass key ring that hung on the hook in the back.His hand stopped in mid-air.The key ring was swinging.It was a microscopic movement a tiny pendulum sway, back and forth. But in the stagnant air of the safe, it shouldn't be moving at all.Richard stared at it.The keys were supposed to be coated in a thin layer of dust. He hadn't touched them in years.He reached out and touche

1:30 PM. The Carter Mansion.Vivienne walked through the front door, the rustle of shopping bags announcing her arrival. She didn’t stumble. She didn’t look exhausted. She walked with a strange, buzzing energy.Elizabeth was waiting in the foyer, her hands twisted anxiously in her lap. She stood up the moment she saw her daughter.“Vivienne? Are you okay? Did she hurt you?”Vivienne dropped the bags on the floor. She took off her sunglasses, revealing eyes that were bright, alert, and terrifyingly clear.“She tried,” Vivienne said, a small, dark smile playing on her lips. “She drove like a maniac over the bridge. She tried to make me scream. She tried to make me remember.”Elizabeth gasped, rushing forward to check Vivienne for injuries. “Oh my God. I knew it. I shouldn’t have let you go. Is she insane?”“No,” Vivienne said, stepping back from her mother’s fussing hands. “She’s scared.”She walked into the living room and poured herself a glass of water, her movements precise.“She bo

The Next Morning. 9:00 AM. The Cross Mansion.Aria didn’t sleep. She spent the night staring at the ceiling, replaying the whisper in her head like a corrupted audio file.“I know what you did. You witch.”Was it real? Or was it the guilt finally cracking her psyche?She sat up, throwing the duvet off. She wasn't a woman who waited for the monster to come out from under the bed. She was the woman who dragged it out and shot it.She needed to know. She needed to break Vivienne’s mask.She picked up her phone and dialed the Carter Mansion.Ring. Ring.“Hello?” It was the housekeeper.“Put my mother on,” Aria ordered, walking to her walk-in closet.A moment later, Elizabeth’s icy voice came on the line. “What do you want, Aria?”“Good morning to you too, Mom,” Aria said, pulling out a hanger. “I’m coming to pick Vivienne up in an hour. We’re going dress shopping.”“Absolutely not,” Elizabeth snapped instantly. “She is resting. She is not going anywhere with you.”“It’s for the wedding, M

Carter Mansion. Late Afternoon.The Carter mansion was unusually quiet when Aria arrived too quiet, like a house holding its breath.She stepped inside with several branded gift bags swinging lightly from her wrist.“Hi, familia!” Aria called out brightly, her voice echoing through the marble hall.A maid hurried in from the corridor, bowing slightly.“Good afternoon, ma’am.”Aria smiled. “Good afternoon. Where is everyone?”“Madam Elizabeth stepped out with Mr. Carter,” the maid replied. “Miss Vivienne is upstairs.”“Oh,” Aria said lightly. “Alright then.”She walked into the living room and settled comfortably onto the couch, crossing her legs like she owned the space which, technically, she now did.“Get me a glass of juice,” she added casually.“Yes, ma’am.”Two minutes later, the maid returned with a chilled glass. Aria took a slow sip, scrolling absently on her phone.Footsteps sounded on the staircase.Aria looked up.Vivienne stood at the top, one hand resting lightly on the r

The next morning.Lucas Walter’s private office.The room smelled faintly of espresso and leather. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked the city, sunlight spilling in, but the mood inside was anything but bright.Lucas stood by the window, arms crossed.Daniel Pete sat casually on the edge of the desk, phone in hand, watching Aria with open curiosity.Aria sat comfortably, legs crossed, posture relaxed too relaxed for someone about to say something dangerous.“Gentlemen,” she said calmly, “we need to continue what we started.”Lucas turned slowly. “You’re talking like the boardroom didn’t just survive a nuclear blast.”Aria smiled faintly. “And yet, here we are.”Daniel raised a brow. “Alright. What’s the update?”She leaned forward slightly. “Damian trusts me enough to tell me everything.”Lucas let out a short laugh. “Everything?”He shook his head. “Aria, come on. That man doesn’t even trust his shadow.”“Well,” she said smoothly, “most things. Enough.”Daniel straightened. “That’s…
