243. Who Do You Believe?
Seeing how fiercely Aria defended her aunt, Melanie smiled faintly.She wasn’t surprised. Not in the least.After all, Aria had always loved her Aunt Olga more than she ever loved herself. Even while they were growing up, Aria never tolerated the slightest form of humiliation directed at her aunt. A careless word, a subtle insult—she would shut it down immediately. If it ever escalated to abuse or neglect, Aria wouldn’t hesitate to drag the offender to court without blinking. That was the kind of loyalty she had always shown.So no, Melanie wasn’t shocked by Aria’s defense.What unsettled her—what she could never support—was something far more disturbing.Olga wasn’t just standing by Aria. She was fully supporting her. Advising her. Encouraging her to marry the very man who had raped her repeatedly.A man who beat her whenever she refused to sleep with him.A man whose so-called love was nothing more than a sick obsession with her body.Melanie’s smile slowly faded as the weight of it
242. Defense
While Tyler’s plan was driven by emotion, Aria’s intentions were quietly taking shape.Her eyes lingered on her aunt for a moment longer than necessary. The memory of their earlier conversation resurfaced—how her aunt had spoken to her, how she had been forced to revisit her past… Brantley. Just thinking about it made Aria’s chest tighten with anger.She never wanted to discuss that chapter of her life again. Never. Yet, one way or another, her aunt always found a reason to drag it back into conversation—an intrusion that unsettled Aria deeply and robbed her of her peace.She took a slow breath, trying to steady herself, hoping the anger would fade.Footsteps suddenly echoed behind her.Aria turned.It was Melanie.“Babe! What’s up?” Melanie exclaimed, walking closer with a wide grin. “You’re definitely happy, right? I mean—especially after marrying the love of your life yesterday!”Melanie, Aria’s friend, didn’t even pause to read her mood. Her excitement spilled out before Aria coul

241. PSYCHOLOGICALLY!
Tyler rose to his feet and took a few slow steps away from Lu Chen. As he moved, he spoke, his voice low but edged with restrained anger.“Olga Acosta isn’t just a name,” he said. “She’s a brand—one built on manipulation and the abuse of innocent minds. And she used that skill to twist Aria into believing that I’m some kind of pedophile.”Lu Chen straightened, his expression tightening.“How do we correct this, sir?” he asked, his gaze fixed on Tyler. “And as for Miss Acosta—she was supposed to believe you when you said you weren’t responsible for any of the accusations Olga placed on you.” He paused, then added firmly, “You risked your life to save hers, didn’t you? It’s long past time she understood the truth. So why didn’t she believe you when you told her you were completely innocent?”At that, Tyler’s mind drifted back to that moment.He remembered Aria’s face clearly. At first, she had looked torn—struggling to believe her aunt’s words. But then, suddenly, everything changed. Sh
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
