Married Twice, Loved Once The truth begins
9:40 P.M. – Carter MansionThe Carter Mansion was unusually quiet.Most of the lights had already been switched off, leaving only the soft glow of the wall lamps illuminating the endless hallway.Inside her bedroom...Vivienne Carter stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows, a crystal wine glass resting loosely in her hand.Beyond the glass, the city sparkled beneath the night sky.A bitter smile curved across her lips."So...""Aria is really getting married."She took a slow sip before letting out a humorless laugh."If anyone deserves to destroy that wedding...""It should be me."She stared at Aria and Damian's engagement announcement on her phone.The smile on Aria's face irritated her."So why does Selene get to make the first move?"She slowly placed the phone on the bedside table."No...""I can't."Not because she had forgiven Aria.She never would.It was because of Richard Carter.Because of the secret he had buried for more than twenty years.If Aria ever discovered the t

1:45 P.M. – Imperial Shopping Mall Parking LotThe drive back to Cross Mansion was unusually quiet.Eleanor glanced sideways at Aria several times.Normally...Aria would chatter excitedly about everything they had bought.Today...She simply stared out the window.Lost in thought.Finally, Eleanor reached over and gently patted her hand."My dear...""Would you like to tell me what happened back there?"Aria remained silent for several seconds.Then she sighed."My father told me that man murdered my aunt."Eleanor frowned."And yet...""You don't seem convinced."Aria looked down at the business card hidden inside her handbag."I don't know.""He didn't look like a murderer.""He looked..."She struggled to find the words."...heartbroken."Eleanor nodded thoughtfully."I've lived long enough to know one thing.""What?""The truth and appearances are rarely the same."Aria didn't answer.---3:10 P.M. – Cross MansionDamian had just finished a conference call when he heard laughter
Married Twice, Loved Once The unexpected encounter
Two Days Later10:00 A.M. – Azure Bliss SpaSoft instrumental music floated through the luxurious spa.The scent of lavender and jasmine filled the air.Aria lay comfortably on a massage bed while Eleanor relaxed beside her, cucumber slices covering her eyes.A beautician gently massaged Eleanor's shoulders.She sighed contentedly."I could get used to this."Aria laughed."I knew you'd enjoy it."Eleanor removed one cucumber slice and looked at her."My dear...""You've spoiled me.""You deserve it."Aria smiled warmly."You've spent your whole life taking care of everyone else.""Now let me take care of you."Eleanor reached over and affectionately patted Aria's hand."You really are too sweet."She suddenly frowned."But don't tell Coconut Head."Aria giggled."He'll be jealous.""He should be."Eleanor sniffed proudly."You're my granddaughter now.""The wedding hasn't even happened yet.""I've already claimed you."Aria's eyes softened."I don't mind."The older woman smiled."I
Married Twice, Loved Once Welcome home grandma Eleanor
11:30 A.M. – Cross MansionThe entire mansion seemed brighter with Eleanor Cross's arrival.Even the servants wore smiles as they hurried about preparing her favorite tea and snacks.Eleanor settled comfortably on the large cream-colored sofa while Aria remained glued to her side, refusing to let go of her arm.Damian sat opposite them, quietly sipping his coffee.Eleanor looked between the two before shaking her head dramatically."My poor granddaughter."Aria blinked."Poor?""Yes.""You've become so thin."Damian nearly choked on his coffee.Aria burst into laughter."Grandma!""I'm serious."Eleanor turned to Damian."Coconut head."Damian sighed."Grandma...""Are you feeding my granddaughter at all?"Damian raised an eyebrow."I try.""You try?"She scoffed."Trying isn't enough."She pointed at Aria."Look at those cheeks.""They're not as round as before."Aria covered her face, laughing."I've only been busy planning the wedding.""Exactly!"Eleanor nodded."Which is why some
Married Twice, Loved Once Grandma's surprise
10:15 A.M. – Cross MansionCross Mansion had been unusually quiet all morning.Damian had already left for Cross Group after reminding Aria for what felt like the tenth time—not to leave the mansion without informing security.Aria had laughed and promised she wouldn't.Now, she sat in the sunroom with wedding magazines spread across the coffee table while Evelyn discussed the final seating arrangements."If we move the Whitmore family to the second row, it'll leave enough space for the foreign investors," Evelyn suggested.Aria sighed dramatically."I never knew planning a wedding involved international diplomacy."Evelyn chuckled."It does when you're marrying Damian Cross."Before Aria could reply, Mrs. Helen hurried into the room.A smile she could barely contain lit up her face."Mrs. Cross..."Aria looked up."Yes?""You have a visitor."Aria frowned."I wasn't expecting anyone."Mrs. Helen's smile widened."Neither were we."Before Aria could ask another question...A familiar
Married Twice, Loved Once Shadows in the dark
The Following Morning – 8:30 A.M.Cross Mansion was unusually peaceful.The events of yesterday seemed to have settled on everyone like a heavy fog.Aria sat quietly at the breakfast table, barely touching her food.Her mind kept drifting back to the photograph.To Ethan Cole.To Richard's explanation.She wanted to believe her father.She truly did.But something deep inside her refused to let it go.Damian folded his newspaper and looked at her."You didn't sleep."Aria looked up, surprised."Was it that obvious?""You've added sugar to your coffee three times."She looked down at the cup and smiled awkwardly."I guess my mind is somewhere else."Damian reached across the table and gently squeezed her hand."If something doesn't feel right...""Don't force yourself to ignore it."She sighed."My father sounded sincere.""He answered every question."Damian nodded."He did.""But?""But sometimes...""The best lies are the ones mixed with truth."Aria stared at him."You still don't
Married Twice, Loved Once Stepping into his world
The hospital room was calm, almost too calm.Aria stepped in first. “Hi, Grandma,” she said softly.Eleanor looked up and smiled. “Aria, my dear.” She opened her arms and hugged her briefly.“Good day, Mrs. Cross,” Mr. Carter said respectfully as he followed his wife inside.“You’re welcome,” Elean

Lucas leaned back in his chair, relaxed, like the world hadn’t just cracked open.“So he’s been in the hospital since yesterday?” he asked.“Yes,” Aria replied, lifting her glass. “High blood pressure. Collapse. The whole drama.”Lucas whistled softly. “Damn. Didn’t think it would hit him that hard.

The church emptied slowly.Not because people wanted to stay—but because no one knew how to leave after witnessing something that ugly.Reporters were pushed out. Phones were lowered. Whispers faded into awkward silence.Soon, only a few people remained.Damian stood at the altar, still in his whit

“Babe, come downstairs,” Selene called out, already halfway up the stairs. “We have a visitor.”Damian looked up from his phone.“A visitor? Who?”“Just come down,” she said impatiently. “You ask too many questions.”Before he could protest, she grabbed his wrist and pulled him along. Damian sighed
