The mansion was unusually quiet for a Monday morning.

Damian descended the stairs in a sharp navy suit, phone in hand, already on edge. His driver stood by the door. Everything was routine.

Then—

“Good morning, Sir.”

He froze.

Slowly… painfully slowly… he turned.

Aria stood by the entryway, tablet tucked under her arm, dressed in a crisp white blouse and fitted black skirt. Professional. Polished. Annoyingly calm.

    9:10 A.M. – Cross MansionAria barely slept.The events of the past few days had become a blur of betrayal, fear, and regret.Richard had been arrested.Sophia was dead.Ethan had disappeared.And Lucas...Lucas was becoming someone she no longer recognized.She sat at the edge of the bed, staring at her phone.For several minutes, she hesitated.Then she opened her messages.Her fingers moved across the screen.Aria: I need to see you.She stared at the message before pressing send.The reply came less than a minute later.Lucas: Come to my office.Aria's eyes narrowed.No questions.No hesitation.Almost as if he'd been expecting her.She locked her phone."Fine.""If you want to play this game...""I'll play."---10:00 A.M. – Walter Group HeadquartersThe elevator doors opened.Aria stepped into the executive floor.Her expression was calm, but beneath it, anger burned fiercely.Lucas's personal assistant immediately stood."Good morning, Miss Carter.""He's expecting me.""Yes, m

    Two days later8:10 P.M. – Carter MansionRichard Carter was lying comfortably in his bedroom, one hand resting behind his head as he stared at the ceiling.For the first time that day, the house was quiet.Too quiet.He had spent the entire evening thinking about Aria.Her words kept replaying in his mind.I was never home to begin with.Richard's jaw tightened.That ungrateful girl.After everything he had done for her...He closed his eyes.Then—Bang!A loud sound echoed from downstairs.Richard's eyes snapped open.Another voice followed.Deep.Authoritative."Nobody leaves the premises."Richard immediately sat up."What the hell?"He heard hurried footsteps approaching his bedroom.The door flew open.Elizabeth stood there, breathing heavily."Richard!"He frowned."What happened?"Her face was pale."The police are here."Richard stared at her."What?""They're downstairs."She swallowed."Richard... there are several officers."His expression hardened."The police?"He slowly

    8:45 A.M. – Cross MansionAria remained seated on the edge of the bed long after Damian's footsteps disappeared down the hallway.Her eyes were swollen.Her face was pale.And her heart felt impossibly heavy.She looked at her phone again.The unknown number was still displayed on the screen.Sophia was dead.There was no undoing that.No amount of money could change it.No revenge could bring her back.Aria slowly stood and walked toward the bathroom.She turned on the tap and splashed cold water over her face.Once.Twice.Again.She stared at herself in the mirror."You have to get yourself together."Her voice was barely audible."You can't let Damian know."But the moment she said it...She hated herself.Because Damian had always told her the truth mattered.And she was still lying to him.Aria grabbed a towel and dried her face.She adjusted her hair.Then she forced herself to smile.It looked fake.Terribly fake.But it would have to do.She opened the bedroom door.---Dinin

    8:15 A.M. – Cross MansionMorning sunlight filtered through the curtains of Aria's bedroom, but she barely noticed it.She sat on the edge of the bed, her phone clutched tightly in her hand.She had been trying to reach Ethan for almost an hour.Again.And again.Nothing.She dialed his number one more time.The call didn't even ring.The number you have dialed is currently unavailable.Aria frowned.She lowered the phone and stared at the screen."No..."She tried again.Same message.Her heart began to beat faster."Ethan..."She whispered."Where are you?"After everything that had happened yesterday, she needed answers.She needed to see him.She needed to know whether the documents he had given her were enough to prove the truth about Clara.And more importantly...She needed someone who understood what was happening inside her head.She dialed again.Unavailable.Aria threw the phone onto the bed."Why aren't you answering?"Before she could pick it up again...Her phone suddenl

    10:40 P.M. – Carter MansionThe Carter Mansion was unusually quiet.The servants had long since retired to their quarters, and the enormous house was almost completely dark.Only the faint glow from the study spilled into the hallway.Inside...Richard Carter stood behind his desk, staring at the city through the floor-to-ceiling windows.His face was unusually tense.He had spent the last several hours thinking.Aria knew.That was the only thought running through his mind.The door opened.Elizabeth entered first, followed by Vivienne.Elizabeth frowned when she saw the expression on her husband's face."You asked us to come here this late.""What happened?"Richard didn't answer immediately.He poured himself a glass of whiskey.His hand was unusually tight around the glass.Then he finally spoke."Aria has found out the truth."Elizabeth froze."What truth?"Richard turned around."The truth about her."A confused expression crossed Elizabeth's face."What are you talking about?"

    The dining room fell into a suffocating silence.No one moved.No one even seemed to breathe.Damian remained standing, his hand resting on the thick file Aria had placed before him.His eyes searched hers, hoping he had misunderstood."...Arrest Richard Carter?"Aria nodded."Yes."Grandma Eleanor looked from Damian to Aria, completely bewildered."My dear...""What is going on?"Her gaze fell on the scattered documents covering the dining table.Hospital records.Old photographs.Birth certificates.Letters yellowed with age."What are all these?"Aria lowered her eyes."They're the truth."Eleanor frowned."What truth?"Aria took a shaky breath."The truth about my family."She slowly picked up one of the photographs.It showed a young woman with a warm smile, holding a newborn baby in her arms.She gently ran her fingers across the woman's face."This...""...is Clara Lawrence."Grandma Eleanor studied the photograph."I've never seen this woman before."Aria's lips trembled."I b
