240. One More Thing!
Aria’s anger simmered beneath the surface, growing with every word her aunt spoke. She wished she could speak her mind, truly tell her Aunt Olga everything that was brewing inside her. The resentment, the frustration, the disbelief. But the nature of their bond, the deep-rooted love she had for her aunt, held her back. She couldn’t bring herself to shatter the fragile peace they shared.Even when Olga had bluntly declared, “You will marry Brantley, whether you like it or not!”Aria had to fight the urge to lash out, to argue, but instead, she swallowed her pride and kept her voice steady.“No problem, Auntie.” Her voice was calm, but her words carried the weight of unspoken thoughts. “This whole situation needs to be sorted out, I agree. I know what you're hoping for, what you want from this marriage, but at the same time... I need you to understand that I’m not ready for marriage again. Especially not with Brantley.”Olga’s face twisted in confusion, her brow furrowing deeply. “Meani
239. Whether You Like It Or Not!
The question lodged itself in Olga’s throat like a sharp bone.For a moment, she couldn’t breathe—couldn’t think. Words deserted her completely. This was not how the conversation was supposed to go. In her mind, this meeting had already been settled: she would speak, Aria would listen, and in the end, Aria would quietly accept her opinion.Never had she imagined that Aria would question her—question right and wrong—especially not when the matter concerned Brantley.That alone unsettled her.Still, Olga was not the kind of woman who let opportunities slip through her fingers. No. This was something she would never allow to escape her reach. In her mind, this was already in motion. She had started planting the seed, started nudging Aria toward the path she wanted for her—and she intended to see it through to the very end.So when Aria asked that question, Olga forced herself to remain composed.Even though words had momentarily failed her, she knew one thing for certain: if she didn’t p
238. Worst Pedophile
Shocked to her core, Aria sprang to her feet. She had never expected to see divorce papers—especially not handed to her by her aunt, without any prior conversation about ending her marriage. So why now? And why so early in the morning?Her brow furrowed as she stared at Olga.“What is the meaning of these documents, Auntie?” Aria demanded, her voice trembling slightly. “Why are you serving me divorce papers? Did I ever tell you I want to divorce Tyler?”Olga recoiled as if struck, blinking rapidly as if trying to regain her composure. Slowly, she rose to her feet and forced a look of shock onto her face.“What are you saying, Aria?” she asked, voice thick with feigned disbelief. “You mean to tell me you don’t want to end this marriage? You don’t want to leave a man who tried to—” Her words faltered as she glanced away, then snapped back. “Who tried to rape your own aunt?”Aria was as confused as hell. She scrambled to make sense of where all this was coming from—how it started, who ha
237. Divorce Papers
Having said all this, Olga sucked thoughtfully on her bone, her jaw tightening. The utterance she made afterward was firm—almost like a vow.She wanted her plan to become reality, and she wanted it fast. To her, the quicker it unfolded, the sweeter the outcome would be.And just as she had planned it, so she maintained it.The next morning, after the long night, Aria remained in her room, still resting. The sun had climbed well into the sky, yet she lay wrapped in deep, peaceful sleep.A soft knock sounded at the door.No response.Olga paused, tilting her head slightly. She must be sleeping deeply, she thought. Clearing her throat, she called out.“Aria?” she said gently.Silence.With a small sigh, Olga turned the handle and stepped into the room. She carried a tray carefully balanced in her hands—Aria’s breakfast, warm and neatly arranged.“Aria, my dear,” Olga said, forcing a light chuckle as she moved closer. “Sleepy, sleepy. Can you wake up already?”Still, Aria did not stir.Ol
236. Phenomenal Outcome!
Reasoning through what Brantley had typed to her, Olga shook her head slowly. She didn’t completely agree with his message—no, she outright disliked it. According to her belief, why would Brantley even come up with such an idea at this stage? If he could think this way now, then there was every possibility that he already had his own dangerous mindset brewing beneath the surface.And that worried her.She had to change whatever notion he had planted in his head—before he went ahead and did something far worse than she could imagine.Without wasting any more time, Olga picked up her phone and dialed Brantley’s number.The call didn’t ring for long before it connected.“Hello,” Brantley said.Olga didn’t bother easing into the conversation. Her grip on the phone tightened as she spoke.“Brantley, I just read your text message. What is wrong with you? Do you want to ruin our plan even before it’s executed?”There was a brief pause on the other end of the line. Brantley sounded genuinely
235. Time To Move The Plan Forward
The smile on Olga’s face vanished the moment Chloe made her demand.Split the money in two?Her mind raced. How was that even possible? She was supposed to have half—and give the other half to Chloe? The thought made her stomach churn.Olga brushed a trembling hand through her hair, the memory striking her like a lightning bolt: this was exactly why she had kept Brantley’s gift a secret from her daughter. She had been certain that the moment Chloe learned about the money, demands would follow.And now, here it was.If she didn’t ask for her share, Chloe would inevitably demand something else—something even more outrageous. Olga knew her daughter too well. Anything Chloe wanted, she would insist on having. And that was precisely what Olga had been trying to avoid all along.But now? The harsh reality had come crashing down, slapping her right across the face. She had no plan, no words ready to make the situation seem less… disastrous.So she did the only thing she could think of: she p
