Aria and Tyler proceeded toward the hospital’s exit.

Aria walked briskly to her car, her expression unreadable. She opened the door and slipped into the passenger seat. Just as Tyler was about to join her, she shook her head sharply and slammed the door shut.

“You can’t come in,” she declared, her tone firm and final.

Tyler froze, staring at her in disbelief. Then he let out a soft, incredulous chuckle. “What do you mean I can’t come in? We’re both heading in the same direction, aren’t we? There’s no need for me to board another bus.”

Aria looked at him through the glass, her voice calm but detached. “Remember, Tyler — we’re only a couple before the law, not in the eyes of the people. I’ll be going ahead. You can take another bus to the funeral. And please, be quick about it.”

She turned to her driver, her voice regaining its usual composure.

“Come on, Driver. Let’s go already. Take me to the cemetery — Mark’s Ground.”

Without another glance at Tyler, the car engine started, and withi

Melanie could hardly believe what she just heard from Aria. She blinked twice, letting out a short, awkward laugh. “I know you’re joking, right?” she said, half chuckling, half confused. “I mean, you can’t be serious at all with this. Tell me I’m right?”But Aria only shook her head, her expression firm.“I’m not fuckin’ with you right now, Melanie,” she said, her tone sharp and steady. “I know exactly what I’m saying. I’m married — and I’ve been married for a while now.”Melanie froze, her jaw slightly open as she scratched her head in disbelief. Her thoughts ran wild, questions piling up faster than she could process them.“You can’t be serious right now, Aria,” she said, her voice rising with confusion. “There’s no way you’re telling me this. That’s… that’s something I can’t even wrap my head around! When did you get married? How did you get married? And most importantly — who did you get married to?”She shook her head rapidly, as if trying to clear the fog of disbelief. “And abov

“As of now, my only strategy—the one thing I’m holding firmly onto—is the fact that I am the representative CEO of ABC,” Aria began, her voice steady but her eyes sharp. “Being the representative CEO means I have certain rights similar to the actual CEO’s. Not entirely equal, of course, but at least I’ll have access to things I couldn’t before.”Melanie folded her arms, listening intently as Aria continued.“My grandfather managed that company all by himself,” Aria said. “He did everything possible to make sure it survived through every challenge. Now imagine, after all that effort, another person steps in to take over—and we don’t even know who this person is. What if he’s a bad person? What if he dies suddenly? I don’t get it, Gurl, but let me set the facts straight—I cannot sit back and watch my grandfather’s company get buried like that. This is something he sweated for!”Melanie nodded slowly. She understood exactly what Aria meant.She had seen it all growing up—the effort, the

Aria froze as she called that name. For a moment, she couldn’t believe what her eyes were seeing. Standing right there before her was her best friend—Melanie!Her heart skipped a beat as she stared in disbelief. “Melanie? Mela…” she said softly, almost as if trying to convince herself that it was truly her.Melanie was more than just a friend—she was like a sister to Aria. She had always been the confident one: chubby but not fat, a pretty face, a nice curve, long flowing hair, and those captivating black eyes that always seemed to draw attention. Her seductive figure hadn’t changed one bit.Aria and Melanie had shared almost everything growing up. They attended the same elementary school, the same high school, and even graduated together from university before Melanie left abroad to pursue her master’s degree. And now, after all these years—she was back!Aria’s shock melted instantly into joy. She jumped out of bed and rushed straight toward Melanie, wrapping her in a tight embrace.
105. Arrival Of Melanie Peters
Henry knew better than to take Olga’s threats lightly. He had been close to her for years and understood that every word from her mouth carried weight. Olga wasn’t one to bluff—he had witnessed it himself. There were times when she had people completely silenced without even hearing their side of the story. Ruthless, precise, and frighteningly powerful—that was Olga Acosta.So when she gave him a warning, Henry didn’t dare to argue. He straightened up, nodded in agreement, and replied respectfully.“Yes, Mrs. Acosta. I get you too well, and I understand promptly what you’re trying to say. I won’t defy your rules, and I won’t mess with your daughter. You can take my words!”“Of course, I’m taking your words,” Olga said sharply. “And I hope you take mine as well. It’d sound really bad in the ear when they hear that—”“Don’t talk about it, Mrs. Acosta! Please don’t!” Henry cut her off immediately, his tone panicked.Hearing him interrupt her made Olga’s lips curl into a triumphant smile.

Chloe halted in her tracks and shot her mother a sharp glare. That look—part anger, part confusion—hung heavy between them.Olga couldn’t help but look visibly upset. Her chest heaved slightly as Aria’s earlier words echoed in her mind—words that stung. Aria had called her a liar, and the thought reignited her anger. Her eyes shifted toward Aria, filled with vengeance and disbelief, until her daughter’s voice drew her attention back.“Didn’t you hear what I asked, Chloe?” Olga said, her tone rising slightly. “I heard you speaking with Henry, and I’m curious—where exactly are you going? Are you leaving this house?”“Does it make a difference if I leave or stay?” Chloe shot back, her tone cold yet shaky.Olga froze, stunned by the reply. “What is that even supposed to mean? Huh?” she demanded, stepping closer. “Are you trying to say you’re leaving this house? With Henry?”Chloe looked at her mother from head to toe, her expression blank yet heavy with unspoken emotion. Then, with a slow
103. Are You Leaving?
Seeing Aria standing right before them, Olga froze in shock.Her heart skipped violently, panic flooding her chest as dozens of questions rushed through her mind.Did she hear everything we said?Did she overhear the whole conversation?And if she did—what’s going to happen now?Her mind raced with fear while Aria began stepping forward, her expression calm but unreadable. Every step she took made Olga’s suspicion grow heavier.“Auntie…” Aria called softly, her voice low but cutting through the tension. “You seem surprised to see me here. Is something the matter?”Olga tried to gather herself enough to respond, but before she could even open her mouth, Chloe’s jealousy flared. She stepped forward abruptly, her voice sharp and full of venom.“Of course, you can see it yourself,” Chloe snapped. “My mom and I were having a peaceful conversation—something you’ve never allowed for years since you seized her attention and refused to let her go until something terrible happens!”Aria frowned
