    POV: AriaThe café was quiet, the morning light casting long shadows across the table where Aria sat with Vanessa. The weight of Vanessa's words hung in the air, heavy and suffocating.Aria stared at the woman across from her, searching for any sign of deception. Vanessa looked different than she remembered—older, worn, her eyes shadowed with regret. The confidence that had once defined her was gone, replaced by something that looked almost like humility.She was dressed simply now, in a plain blouse and dark pants. No designer labels, no diamonds, no carefully constructed facade. She looked like someone who had lost everything and was still trying to find her way back."Isabella has been lying to us," Aria said, her voice barely a whisper. "Everything she told us was a lie."Vanessa nodded, her eyes downcast. "I'm sorry. I should have told you sooner. I was just so afraid."Aria reached across the table, her hand covering Vanessa's.
