The Switch The Confrontation
ARIA'S POV "You're very early. You guys couldn't wait?" Victoria said smiling and walking towards us. "We need to talk before this starts." I said. "I think we're past talking." Her eyes flicked to the bag. "What's that?" "Evidence." "Evidence of what?" She frowned. "You'll know soon." Victoria's smile tightened. "You sound paranoid. Maybe you should sit down. Rest." Behind us, a taxi pulled into the parking lot. A thin and nervous lady got out and walked towards the courtyard. Victoria glanced at her but didn't recognise her. "Who's that? Another character witness?" "Someone you know," I said. The woman reached us and looked directly at Victoria. "Hello, Victoria." Victoria's face went very pale. It was the first time I had seen her rattled. "Melissa. What are you doing here?" Melissa Grant stood straighter and stronger than I expected. Stronger. "I came to watch Sage's apology and to tell everyone what you did to me." Victoria recovered fast. "I hea
The Switch The Search
ARIA'S POV "I'll plant the bracelet in a crime scene where Sage has never been. When police find her prints there, she becomes a suspect." Victoria's threat kept ringing in my head as soon as I woke up. Victoria didn't need Sage to actually be guilty. She just needed her to look guilty and that Sage's bracelet from two years ago was the proof. I grabbed my phone and texted Madison and Cole: Emergency meeting in your house, now. I got dressed and went to Madison's house and met them waiting for me. Madison looked like she didn't sleep. "I found how Victoria knows everything we're doing." She opened her laptop and showed me lines of code. "Spyware on all our phones." My stomach dropped. "How? I wasn't there". "Remember the showcase? Everyone left phones in the lobby during performances. Maybe not yours but mine". Cole leaned forward. "She had access to your phone?" "These apps install in fifteen minutes." Madison closed the laptop. "She's been reading every text. ." "I
The Switch Aria's Move
ARIA'S POV.I watched my sister fall apart with three days of restraining order and Sage barely eating or sleeping. She had given up completely. I tried everything possible to encourage her but it was futile.She just sat in her room and stared at nothing."Victoria won," she kept saying. "There's nothing left to do."But I disagreed because while Sage was fighting Victoria head-on, I watched from the sidelines and learnt. And I saw something Sage didn't see.Victoria moved faster and bolder. Either she was completely confident that she won or she was scared of something.I sat at breakfast with Sage. She pushed scrambled eggs around her plate and didn't eat.Dark circles under her eyes, her hair unbrushed and the same sweater she had worn for three days.Mom set down her coffee cup. "Honey, should we see a doctor? You don't look well.""I'm fine." Sage turned away.After breakfast, Sage went back to her room and I followed."You can't give up. Julian is still in danger."She didn't
The Switch The Meeting
SAGE'S POV I didn't tell Madison and Aria that I was going to the coffee shop. The place was mostly empty with only a few college students and an elderly couple. I ordered coffee that I couldn't drink. I just held it and watched the door. What if he doesn't show? What if Victoria walks through that door instead? I thought. At exactly 10:00 AM, a man entered. He looked like he was in his late fifties with gray hair, an expensive suit and tired eyes. He scanned the room looking for me than he finally saw me, walked over and sat without asking. "Thank you for coming. We don't have much time. Victoria thinks I'm at a business meeting in Chicago." He slid a manila folder across the table. "Everything you need is in here. But you won't like what you find." Thomas ordered coffee while still watching the door. "I'm Thomas Ashford. Victoria's uncle. I've watched her destroy people since she was twelve." "When did it start?" I looked up. "In middle school. A girl named S
The Switch The Showcase
SAGE'S POV The email from the name 'Thomas Ashford' arrived at 3:47 AM.I didn't know the content of the message but I saw a little part where he said that he was Victoria's uncle. But at 6:45 PM, I was sitting in the back row of the Ashford auditorium with Madison, waiting to destroy my last chance with Julian."You can still back out," Madison whispered. "We can leave right now."I shook my head. The auditorium was filling up with students, parents and teachers. Everyone was excited for performances they thought will be normal.I scanned the crowd and found Julian near the front with his performance group with Victoria beside him, touching his arm.They hadn't seen me yet and didn't know I was there."Let's do this," I said.Madison nodded and opened her laptop. The video was queued and ready but we just had to wait.Madison had the technical setup ready. She spent days hacking into the auditorium's AV system and could override the projector at any moment.The plan was to play E
The Switch Madison's Discovery.
SAGE'S POV At exactly 6:45AM, I met Madison in the parking lot. Her hair was in a messy ponytail with dark circles under her eyes like she didn't sleep at all."Get in my car. We need to talk where no one can hear us."I got in the passenger seat and she immediately locked the doors."I spent all night researching and looking into Victoria's claim about your bracelet." She pulled out her laptop from the backseat. "And I found something...eerrr...but you're not going to like it."She opened the laptop and showed me an old photo of a party from Lincoln's high dated two years ago and in the background was a younger me with different hair and a silver bracelet on my wrist. I gasped."You were there, at that party. The night Cameron Morrison got his lead and you were wearing the bracelet she claims to have."I stared at the photo and tried to remember."It's not a bluff," Madison said quietly. "Victoria's telling the truth.""Do you remember this party?" Madison asked.I thought hard. "
The Switch What He Didn't Know
JULIAN'S POV "Arthur has known the partners Webb had worked with for years but he was afraid because one of them......" The voice dropped. "One of them is in law enforcement and he has been managing the investigation and he made sure Cameron's death was ruled suicide before anyone could look too

ARIA'S POV Arthur Grayson was sitting unhurt and alert in a room in that building, looking at the camera. He spoke. "Aria, Cole. I need you to hear this and I need you to believe me." His voice was steady. "Everything I gave you last night was real." He paused. "But Richard is right that it isn

SAGE'S POV Victoria Ashford circled us like a predator. Her expensive heels clicked against the pavement and behind her were at least ten people who stood in the shadows. Some I recognized from photos in Aria's room, Ashford students. Others looked older, dangerous and professional. "Did you
