Ch 110

RUE

The air freezes around me the way rooms do when something irreversible has happened. It is entirely silent, and cold. No one moves at first. Not the host, definitely not the crew, and not even me. I can hear the faint hum of the lights, but everything else sounds distant, like I am in the room, but my presence has transcended into another universe. I can't tell how I feel, or what I even feel.

Matteo strides forward, but the host raises a hand, not to stop him, but to acknowledge what he already knows. The moment is out of his control now. The interview is no longer a conversation. It is a rupture.

I stand slowly from the chair. My legs wobble, but I force them to hold. I gently grab onto the arm of the chair, holding onto the least bit of stability. I keep my eyes on Alessandro because I cannot look away. Not when his signature sits inside a folder that feels like a blade. Not when the will accusation circles us like a storm that has been waiting for years to break open.

    RUEThe silence that follows the revelation feels like it grows a branch, and stretches itself between the three of us. It stretches, tightens, and becomes a wall none of us can climb. I do not speak at first, and that is because I am afraid of what will come out of my mouth. I cannot fathom a world where this would be possible. Alessandro on his own, does not speak because his world has started to tilt. Matteo does not speak because he is too comfortable with the chaos he created. There's not a speck of a smile on his face, but his eyes finally seem at peace.The host clears his throat again, a small reminder that the moment is still happening in real time, and nothing can be reversed. The lights stay on. The cameras keep blinking. The sound engineer does not even shift his arm. Everyone holds still, waiting for a word to be uttered. Some are waiting to be proven wrong, while others are waiting for the confirmation of their accusations.For a split second, I let myself imagine some

    RUEThe car ride to the studio feels like a silent judgment. The streets roll by in a blur of grey morning light, each building looking colder than the last. Alessandro sits beside me, one hand resting on my thigh, his thumb brushing slowly as if he is trying to tame the storm inside me. Matteo sits in the front seat with the driver, quiet for the first time since the planning started, his jaw locked so tightly I can see the vein running down his neck.I want to speak, to release even a single word, but I feel as though there is a rope tied around my neck. It feels like my voice box would shatter if I dared utter a word.When we arrive, the studio looks smaller than I imagined. Smaller, but sharp. Like a knife tucked in the corner of a room. There is a long hallway leading inside, and as we walk, I can hear the faint whisper of equipment being tested. Lights humming silently, and cameras blinking. Microphones are being clipped onto tables.My stomach twists.Matteo hands me the folder

    RUEMatteo taps the folder again like it is a personal sin to him. “You need to go live. Morning broadcast. It has a wider reach, and it's the perfect timing. People are already bored of the rumors, so now is when they’re most willing to believe the truth if you hand it to them.”I stare at him. “Believe the truth? Matteo, these people do not know me. They have already picked the Vanilli sides. That is who they know.”“They picked the loudest side,” he replies. “So you need to be louder. At least, try to pull their attention towards you. Male heads swerve.”Alessandro drags a chair closer and sits beside me, leaning in until our shoulders touch. “You do not have to answer him now.”Matteo scoffs. “She actually has to.”“I do not,” I say, turning to glare at both of them. “I want to know the real plan. The one no one is saying out loud.”“This is the real plan,” Matteo insists. “Public clarity. Control the narrative. Stop letting your father-in-law write your story.”I shake my head. “

    RUEThe atmosphere shifts so sharply it nearly cracks. Alessandro’s eyes darken, and I swear I feel Matteo quietly adjusting his invisible referee seat.“Disappointing?” I repeat, because apparently I’m now auditioning for the role of Most Confused Woman Alive. “I am disappointing to you?” I ask, yet again.Alessandro drags his hand down his face. “You’re planning a future where you’re not in my life. And you expect me to just sit here and nod along like some polite politician? What is this?"Matteo exhales loudly, almost theatrically. If he had a gavel, he’d be hanging on it.I lean forward. “I’m planning a future where you don’t destroy your life because of me. I’m thinking in a logical pattern. Someone has to do that right now.”His jaw ticks. “Logically? Logically, my father is trying to end my wife's life! Rationally, he’s trying to humiliate you publicly so he can manipulate me privately. Rationally, if you leave, he wins.”“And if you stay with me, you lose!” I shoot back. “Yo

    RUEThe sound of my phone beeping pulls my attention. I walk off the table and towards the side bar. I have no friends. My father wouldn't call me now, and I am as sure as hell that my father-in-law has no intentions of direct communications with me. Who could it be?I can feel both Matteo's and Alessandro's eyes on me, as I pick up the phone.As soon as I see it, a smile crawls up my face.“Who is it?” Alessandro's voice pulls me back to reality.I turn to him, “It's Claire.” I say, waving the phone.“Ignore it.” The smile fades off. “Why? She's one of us.”He cranes his neck slightly. “Do you see her here?”I look around, knowing the answer already, “No.”“That means she's not one of us now.”I wrap my arms over my chest. “It's Claire. I thought you trusted her.”He gets off the chair and closes the gap between us. “On a normal day, I trust her.” He says, touching my arm, “but on days like this, the only people I trust are those on a direct payroll and the both of you.”“What abou
