I was discharged two days later.

The doctor made it clear before I left. Have a lot of rest, and always take water. No more running around on stress and anger like my body could take unlimited hits. I nodded, signed the papers, and walked out with Adrian beside me, still shaky but stubborn enough to stay on my feet.

By then the statement was ready.

Brenda had cleaned every line. She didn’t make it soft nor wild. Just clear enough that nobody could pretend they misunderstood.

We did it from Adri

  • The best friend i trusted   Chapter 69 – He Clapped Back

    By morning, Damien had stopped hiding behind lawyers only.His reply was all over the same platforms that shared my interview. Not long. Not careful. Just enough to make people look twice.Sophia is confused, under pressure, and being used. I will not be painted as a villain for wanting clarity about a child that may be mine.I read it once and laughed. Not because it was funny. Because my hands started shaking and if I didn’t let something out, I was going to scream.“Clarity,” I said out loud. “He cheated, moved Bella in, tracked me, and now he wants clarity.”Adrian was already reading it on his phone. His face didn’t move much, but his neck was tight.“This is him trying to look calm in public,” he said.“He looks like a man rewriting history.”My stomach was in knots. Not the normal pregnancy kind. The angry kind. The kind that makes your skin feel too hot.Then Bella posted.She didn’t use my name. She didn’t need to.Some women create chaos and call it survival. Truth has a way

    I was discharged two days later.The doctor made it clear before I left. Have a lot of rest, and always take water. No more running around on stress and anger like my body could take unlimited hits. I nodded, signed the papers, and walked out with Adrian beside me, still shaky but stubborn enough to stay on my feet.By then the statement was ready.Brenda had cleaned every line. She didn’t make it soft nor wild. Just clear enough that nobody could pretend they misunderstood.We did it from Adrian’s apartment, not the hospital and it was Brenda’s idea. One controlled interview with a serious online platform that covered city business and public interest stories. No shouting match show. No messy live comments running across the screen while I spoke.I sat in a chair by the window while they set up a simple camera. My hands were sweating. My stomach felt tight. Adrian stood off camera to my left, close enough that I could see him if I needed to.Brenda went over it one more time.“You do

    The first thing I noticed was the smell.It didn’t smell like home.My head hurt. There was something on my arm tightening and loosening. For a few seconds I just lay there trying to catch up. Then it hit me. The photo. Damien. The way the floor moved. Adrian calling my name.My hand went to my stomach straight away.Still there.The relief was so strong I started crying before I could stop myself. Not soft pretty tears but the messy kind. My face screwed up and my chest jerked like I’d been holding my breath for hours.“Hey.”Adrian was in the chair beside the bed. He looked rough. Shirt wrinkled. Eyes tired. Like he’d been sitting there the whole time without really resting.“You’re in hospital,” he said. “You collapsed at the apartment.”My mouth was dry.“The baby?”“Tge baby is fine. They’re watching you. Doctor said it was stress, dehydration, and your blood pressure went too high. They want to keep you for observation.”I nodded and kept crying anyway. I hated crying in front o

    The second photo hit harder than the first.Same day.
Different angle.
Closer.My hand was on my stomach.I didn’t drop the phone. I just stood there with it in my hand like the screen had teeth. My first thought wasn’t even Damien. It was pure shame, hot and immediate, the kind that climbs your neck before you can stop it. Then anger came in right behind it. Then fear. All of it stacked so fast I couldn’t separate them cleanly.Adrian took the phone from me.He looked at the picture once and his jaw locked.“Brenda. Now.”I forwarded it. My fingers felt thick. Slow. Like they belonged to somebody else.“They’re not guessing anymore,” I said. “That photo looks like proof.”“It’s still a photo taken without consent,” he said. “That doesn’t give them rights.”“It gives them a story. And people care more about stories than rights.”I walked away from him because standing still made the panic worse. The living room felt smaller than usual. The windows too bright. My heart was beating in m

    The photo sat on my phone like it had weight.Me outside the clinic.
Adrian beside me.
Blurry, but not blurry enough.For a second I couldn’t breathe right. My ears felt hot. My hands went cold. All the noise in the shop faded and all I could hear was my own pulse.Adrian took the phone from me before I dropped it.He looked at the picture once and his whole face changed.“Send it to Brenda. Now.”I did. My fingers felt thick, like they didn’t belong to me.The shop girl was still staring.“Is that…?”“Don’t ask,” I said. It came out sharper than I meant. “Please just keep working.”She nodded fast and turned away.I walked to the back room because I needed walls around me. Adrian followed and shut the door halfway.“Talk to me,” he said.“What do you want me to say?” My voice cracked. “They’re not guessing anymore. They have a picture. Of me. At a clinic. With you.”“I know.”“Do you?” I looked up at him. “Because this is my body in that photo. My face. My shop already has people sid

  • The best friend i trusted   Chapter 64 – Public

    I kept reading the comment like maybe the words would change.Ask the owner why she’s been at private clinics with Adrian Vale.It was under an old photo of bags. On my business page. Just sitting there.Adrian had his phone out already.“I’m sending it to Brenda. Don’t reply yet.”“If I don’t say anything, people will think it’s true.”“If you say the wrong thing, it’s worse.”I got up and went to the kitchen. I didn’t even know what I wanted there. I just opened the fridge, closed it, and stood with my hand on the counter.“That’s my work page,” I said. “Not even my personal account. They’re putting this on my shop.”“I know.”“So we just leave it?”“No. We would definitely deal with it but we have to be careful.”I turned and looked at him.“Careful hasn’t done much for us so far since all these saga started.”He didn’t argue.By the time I checked again, somebody had liked the comment. Then a reply appeared under it.What clinic?My stomach dropped.“You see…It’s starting,” I sai
