~Arya~

For a full minute, the room was filled with thick silence. Lina’s eyes were pinned on me, defiance in her features. She was keen to rile me up and didn’t have the decency to hide it.

As for Edgar, he was by her side in an instant, his face flooded with excitement.

“You’re pregnant?” he exclaimed. “Since when, Lina. Why didn’t you tell me?” He doubled over, placing his head near her belly with a bright smile on his face. “This is the best news I have heard all year.”

But Lina didn’t share his sentiment. Instead, she was focused on me. “Don’t you have anything to say?”

My eyes dropped to her stomach. “A pregnancy," I stated in a calm tone. “You’re quite good at deceit, but don’t you think you’re going too far? Faking a pregnancy just to remain where you don’t belong. That’s quite pathetic, Lina."

Her jaw dropped. She sucked in a sharp breath, knuckles turning white. “Why would I go through the stress to fake a pregnancy? Do you want me to take a test right here? I don’t mind.”

    ~Arya~“What did you just say?” Lina demanded, her eyes narrowed into slits. “What on earth did I just hear you say? You want me gone?”“You heard me correctly, Lina. I want nothing to do with you anymore. You have shown me all there is to see, why should I keep you around?”“Arya, you killed my baby,” she cried out. “If it wasn’t for you, I'd still have a child growing in my womb. Now I can't even give birth again. I have lost my chance to ever be a mother. You can’t just toss me to the side after everything you have done.”“I can.” Her jaw dropped open. She glanced at Edgar and Pamela, eyes wide. “What the hell does that mean?”“I can toss you anywhere and anyhow I want to, because I did nothing wrong. I didn’t kill your babay. I know nothing about that poison. As a matter of fact, I never saw it until the detective showed me earlier.”Panic flickered in her eyes. It lasted for a fraction of a second before she masked it. “The detective did what?”I smirked. “The police found the

    ~Arya~Inspector Jones' eyes widened. He scowled, completely displeased. Lucien took a steep back and came back to stand beside me, hands tucked into his pockets.“You’re throwing an innocent woman under the bus for Arya Manchester?”“Cassandra is not innocent. I’m sure you know this already, but if you have a hard time accepting it, I'll help with that. If you really think she is innocent, prove it.”His expression tightened. “You must really think I can't prove it.”“You can’t. It’s impossible. Isn’t that why you have turned into a hound dog for her?”Disappointment clouded the officer’s face. He nodded, averting his gaze. “I see why they say beautiful women are easily the cause of great men’s downfall. Mr Vale, you’re completely blinded by this woman who has you wrapped around her finger that you don’t even know what’s right and what’s wrong anymore. That is very sad to see.”“Don’t resort to insults just because you have facts to back up your claims, Detective," I snapped. “It’s n

    ~Arya~“Everyone, I know how this may seem to you all right now, but I really ask that you are not hasty in making a judgement. Arya Manchester is not a horrible person. She’s someone I have known since I was a child. I have good reason to believe that there’s a reason she’s acting this way.” she paused again, looking into the camera with shocking conviction. Her actions were not supposed to surprise me as much, but they did. Who could have thought that Cassandra letcher had grown up into this type of woman. Heartless, bent on destroying whatever stood in her way just because she had the influence to.“I think she must be going through something. Maybe she’s just venting her anger out on me. She has her way with words, so she knows how to convince people to do exactly what she wants them to. Arya Manchester is a dangerous woman, one who should be feared by all.”“She’s having a blast,” I scoffed. Lucien relaxed in his seat, his brows knit together.“We should do something soon. If we

    ~Arya~The hospital lot was parked minutes later. Cars rolled in, queuing up after each other. Media personalities scurried into the building with their cameras in hand, racing to get a perfect spot for Cassie’’s emergency conference.“She released a video,” Lucien's urgent voice alerted me. He clasped his fingers around my arm and dragged me to his car. Once we were settled, he showed me a video playing on his phone.“It’s likely deepfake, but people won’t believe that.”“What’s in the video?” I questioned, but the scene on the screen was already etching itself into my brain. It was a video of Cassie and I on that rooftop, arguing. And of course, it was deepfake. Heavily edited to suit the agenda she was trying to push about me. “I never said all these things,” I muttered to myself, staring at the screen blankly as the video played. Cassie had completely changed our conversation, making me seem like the reason she fell off that building.“I think you should go to hell,” the fake in

  • She Came Back to Burn: The Return of the Amnesiac Wife.   ~HUNDRED: PRESS CONFERENCE

    ~Arya~“Clara,” I spoke into the phone as we trudged through the lobby of the hospital. “Call for a press conference. I want to address the public.”Clara let out a dramatic exhale. “Mrs Sinclair, are you okay? I didn’t know if you’d like me to call you. I’ve seen everything in the news. Are you fine? I’m so sorry that you’re going through so much, Mrs Sinclair.”I smiled. Clara was way too kind. A pretty woman who was good at her job and had a good heart. She never made me regret making her my personal assistant.”“I’m great, Clara. It’s nothing I can't handle. Send an invitation to all the media companies you can think of. I want a lot of cameras at my press conference.”“As you wish, Miss Sinclair. I’ll do as you instruct.”I ended the call and slid the phone into my bag, trailing behind Lucien as he led me to his car. I was fuming. My blood boiled. Cassie had no intention to tell people the truth. It left me with no choice but to stand up for myself.I thought I could get through

  • She Came Back to Burn: The Return of the Amnesiac Wife.   ~NINETY-NINE: A STEP AHEAD

    ~Cassie~I hated her with every cell in my body. Ever since we were kids, it has always been one sentence wherever Arya and I went. “How is she so perfect?”My mother compared me to her. Every single time there was an estate gathering or event that the Manchesters had to attend, I was constantly compared to her. Everyone couldn't wrap their head around the fact that the golden princess of the Manchesters carried herself with so much grace and her best friend couldn't catch up.Yes, best friend. That was exactly what I saw myself as. Arya never felt the need to socialise or have friends, but I did. So I stuck with her, hoping that some of her gracefulness would rub off of me. It never did.Then Lucien came along. I saw him first. I was ten, and he was the first boy that ever made my heart skip a bit. But he was blind to me. He only had his sights on Arya. Their parents were college friends, which made them automatically close. Just like that, she took him from me. She was the only p
