~Arya~

Just before he could drive the car out of the lot, a black SUV swerved in the way, causing Edgar to slam down on the brakes quickly. I lurched forward, panting. The car in front of us slowed to a stop, and both doors were flung open.

My father and mother stepped out, their expressions mirroring each other. They stormed to the car and pulled both doors open, their eyes blazing with anger.

“Arya!” my mom pulled me into a tight hug immediately. I wrapped my arms around her, letting her scen

    ~Arya~“Who is that?” my mom mouthed, narrowing her eyes at me. I sat upright, a frown forming on my face. What did Lina mean by that statement? What the hell was she planning now?“I’ll make sure this doesn't die down,” she continued. “I will do all I can to bring you down. You’ll regret ever messing with me.”“What is your problem, Lina? Haven’t you done enough? What else do you want from me?”“I want you gone,” she yelled maniacally. “I want you to suffer double of what I suffered. You have such a peaceful life. You don’t deserve to, Arya. You deserve the worst things on earth?”“Who the hell is that?” my mom snapped. She snatched the phone from me and placed it against her ear, but it was pointless, as lina already ended the call. With a deep scowl, she demanded. “Who on earth was that?”“It was nothing, mom,” I replied hastily, getting off the bed. “I need to go now."“Where do you think you’re going?” my dad thundered. I cleared my throat, heaving.”“Dad!” I called. “I really h

  • She Came Back to Burn: The Return of the Amnesiac Wife.   ~HUNDRED-THIRTEEN: DOOMED

    ~Arya~“What!”Edgar sprang away, his hands clenched into fists. “Why? Didn’t you say you’d separate Lucien and Arya?”“Did I?” My father mused with feigned thoughtfulness. “I did no such thing, Edgar, what are you thinking?"“Mr Manchester,” he groaned. “You have to be logical here. Lucien isn’’t the right person for the job. I will do better—” his voice broke. He bit his lips, tears rushing to his eyes. “You already made a promise to me. You can’t just go back on it now.”“Edgar Sinclair, what promise did I make?”“I did everything!” Edgar took a few steps back. “I tried to make you see me for the real me, but you don’t care. What on earth do you want me to do?”“I thought you did all those things because you care about my daughter.“I do care about her,” he yelled. “I know I made mistakes in the past, but I love her.”“Edgar,” my father whined. “You have to understand that you’re still on probation. I can’t trust you enough to hand over the company to you just yet, but if you feel

  • She Came Back to Burn: The Return of the Amnesiac Wife.   ~HUNDRED-TWELVE: POWER OF ATTORNEY

    ~Arya~“Yes sir, I think that’s the perfect way to go too,” Edgar's eager voice was the first I heard in my sleep. My eyes fluttered open. I stared at the blank ceiling, listening to their conversation subconsciously. I had no idea how or why I was in a hospital all of a sudden, but I was. And I had every member of my family with me.Regina and my mom were hurdled together, staying quiet as Edgar and my father spoke. I trailed my gaze to them. My father’s brows were pulled together, deep in thought. Edgar had his back to me, but I could tell that he was deeply engrossed in whatever they were talking about by his little mannerisms that gave him away.“Arya should be relieved of her duties,” he huffed. “She’s doing a lot for the company, but her health should come first. I haven’t been able to have this conversation with her because things are quite rocky between us now, but…” he stopped, scratching his nape idly. “I hope to, soon. Right now, she thinks I'm out to get everything she has

They stormed to the car and pulled both doors open, their eyes blazing with anger.“Arya!” my mom pulled me into a tight hug immediately. I wrapped my arms around her, letting her scent fill my nostrils. She squeezed me to herself, rubbing her hand over the small of my back. “I rushed here as soon as I heard the news. Are you hurt?”“Just a little.”She pulled back, assessing my arm. “Oh, this is bad. Who could have done this?”“The police are investigating,” I replied. “I don’t know anyone who could have done this mom, but hopefully, we’ll find out soon.”Her eyes drifted over to Edgar. “You,” she snapped. What are you doing there? Why didn’t you take her to the hospital?”

  • She Came Back to Burn: The Return of the Amnesiac Wife.   ~HUNDRED-TEN: SUSPECT MRS VALE

    ~Arya~He was slipping up again, losing his composure. His nails dug into my skin. I school my expression, determined to not let any emotion of mine show. He was used to making me scared of him, so he could feel great about himself and do whatever he wanted without fail. This time, I refused to give him that satisfaction.“You can’t determine that, Edgar.”“We’re married. The law recognizes us as a couple. How do you expect me to feel when you keep hanging around your ex.”“I don’t even remember him.”“That’s what gives him the audacity to do all those things to you.” Edgar inched towards me, desperation flashing in his eyes. “I have said this countless times, and I won't get tired of saying it anytime soon. You can’t keep encouraging Lucien to do what he wants with you. He thinks he has the right to do whatever he wants because you give him leeway.”“Lucien is a good person."“That’s just what he pretends to be.”“He’s better than you,” I snapped, unable to stop myself. “Lucien is a

  • She Came Back to Burn: The Return of the Amnesiac Wife.   ~HUNDRED-NINE: AN ALLY OR A FOE

    ~Arya~Edgar gave Regina a onceover, snickering. “Didn’t you always hate my wife? Don’t think I was oblivious to how you treated her at the Auction that fateful evening. You ganged up with that scheming actress to humiliate her, yet you want to act like you are now?”“Watch your tone with my mother," Lucien cautioned him, his voice hard like steel. I stretch my uninjured arm wide, putting some much needed distance between them.“We’re in public, Lucien," I whispered to him. “With so much cameras around, we can’t give people a reason to gossip about you.”Fuming, Lucien backed down. Regina, on the other hand, took his place. She took slow steps towards Edgar, causing him to retreat in fear. “Who the hell do you think you are?” she questioned, her voice dropping to a whisper. “You dare to raise your voice at me?”“I…” Edgar cleared his throat, looking down at her. “I just think that you and your son should stay out of my business. I’m married to Arya for Pete’s sake. One would think it’
