Chapter 11

The lights in the hall dimmed slowly.Every face turned to me. Some are curious. Some are uneasy. Many are confused.I stepped to the side of the stage, where a technician stood behind a small desk. He nodded once, understanding the silent cue. He pressed a button, and the massive screen behind me lit up. A hum buzzed through the hall.The first image filled the screen.I was sitting at the edge of a pool. My face was tired, my eyes distant. The crowd gasped.Another image. A man in black approaches. The next one, his hand raised. A knife. Then... the stab.A collective sound of horror filled the room.Lucy's mouth fell open. Her hands gripped the edge of her seat. Her eyes darted around the hall, like she wanted to disappear.Daniel leaned forward, his face pale. His jaw clenched. My parents stiffened in their seats like they'd turned to stone.I turned back to the crowd. The mic in my hand felt heavier now, but my voice was steady."This was me," I said, slowly. "On my wedding day.

My hands were shaking.The message kept replaying in my mind, a gun to my mother's head, haunted every second I tried to breathe.And Aurora. That wicked smirk she gave me across the room. She wasn't even trying to hide it.I couldn't stop myself. I walked down the steps slowly.I didn't feel my legs moving, I just knew I had to get to her. People were staring, whispering, confused. Some guests stood, others pulled out their phones, murmuring things I couldn't hear.My feet dragged along the floor until I reached her row.She looked up at me with that same calm, polished face. Her legs crossed. Like she hadn't just threatened my mother's life. I grabbed the neckline of her dress and pulled her up."Where is she?" I cried, voice cracking. "Where is my mother?! Why do you have my mother? What's your connection with her?”Gasps rippled through the crowd. A woman dropped her champagne glass behind me. I didn't look back. I couldn't.Aurora yanked my hand free from her dress and shoved me

As soon as we stepped outside the hall, I yanked my hand away from Benjamin's grip."Why did you drag me out like that?" | snapped, wiping the tears from my face. "They think I'm crazy now. Everyone in there thinks I've lost my mind!"Benjamin stayed calm. He always did. He didn't raise his voice or argue back. He just looked at me, eyes soft but steady."You already exposed them," he said gently. "You showed everything. You had the crowd. But if you stayed one second longer, they would've flipped the whole narrative and made you the criminal. That's how these people work, Elizabeth. You can't fight fire with blind rage. You have to plan your move. Carefully."I looked away, breathing hard. My chest ached. My heart felt like it had been ripped open."She looked so thin," I whispered. "My mom looked so scared. So hurt. And I couldn't do anything.""I know," he said, stepping closer to me. "And you will do something. But not like this."The tears came again before I could stop them. I c

We sat in the SUV, parked a block away from Lucy's jewelry store. The engine was off. The street was quiet, empty except for the soft hum of streetlights and the occasional passing car.Benjamin sat beside me, calm as ever. One hand rested on the wheel. The other held his phone, checking the time every now and then. He hadn't said a word in a while. Neither had I.My hands were cold. I kept rubbing them together, but it didn't help. I wasn't nervous. I wasn't scared. I was just... full. Full of everything. Rage. Pain. Pressure. It felt like something inside me was sitting right at the edge, waiting for a reason to explode."She should be out any minute now," Benjamin finally said, his voice low.I nodded. I could see her car parked in front of the shop. The lights inside were still on. She was probably counting money or locking up a drawer. She always stayed late. The perfect little store owner. The perfect liar.My jaw clenched just thinking about her face. The way she cried in fron
