ARIA’S POVAll the things that Adam had disclosed to me come rushing back to my mind, haunting me like ghosts from the past. His revelations about Sophia's manipulations and deceit weigh heavily on my conscience, reminding me of the tangled web of lies and betrayal that surrounds us. It's a relentless barrage of memories and emotions, each one a sharp reminder of the pain and turmoil that Sophia has caused.However, I can't help but blame Adam for allowing Sophia to wield such power over him, even after our marriage. I struggle to forgive him for his infidelity. The wounds he inflicted run deep, and the scars they've left behind make it difficult for me to move past the hurt and resentment I still feel towards him.I've never been his priority, whereas Sophia always has. Now that Sophia has betrayed him so badly, he thinks he can come running back to me? The audacity of his actions is infuriating, and I refuse to be his fallback option after everything he's put me through.Consequentl
ARIA’S POVWhen I think about Brad Johnson, I wonder how he can even introduce himself under his real name at that disgusting party. Any person with sound reasoning will never do such a thing. Then an idea struck me—I need to investigate the name and find out who it really belongs to.Therefore, I go on Google, open the search bar, and carefully type in the name, hoping to uncover any information about its true owner. My fingers hover over the keyboard for a moment, my mind racing with possibilities. As I hit 'Enter,' I feel a mix of anticipation and anxiety, eager to see what the search results would reveal.The information on the website reads:Brad Johnson, born on April 15, 1980, in a small town in Ohio, is a businessman who has navigated the ups and downs of the corporate world with resilience and perseverance. Raised in a middle-class family, Brad was instilled with values of hard work and determination from a young age.Brad Johnson's story is not one of fame or fortune, but ra
ARIA’S POVI hear the ringing tone on the other line and finally he picks up.“Hello, yes?”“It’s me, Aria Cook!”There's silence on the other end of the line, followed by a contemptuous sneer. How utterly outrageous.“You want to be fucked by me, huh?”“In your dreams, Brad!”What a narcissist! I roll my eyes in frustration at his demeanor. Does he seriously think I regret not sleeping with him?!He laughs again, and honestly, it's grating. His arrogance is infuriating. But soon enough, I'm certain he'll be silenced.“I’m giving you one chance… Only one.”My tone turns severe, cutting through the air like a blade. His laughter abruptly ceases, leaving a tense silence in its wake. I'm certain his smirk has faded by now, replaced by a flicker of uncertainty. He must be wondering what's coming his way.Immediately, I sternly demand that he confess to his actions and provide compensation to all the young women he has assaulted. Furthermore, I insist that he should personally apologize to
ARIA’S POVSophia really needs to learn a serious lesson. I can't believe that all these years, before he met me, he was dating her, and after our marriage, when she returned, he slept with her—or so he claims, saying she tricked him— and if Adam gets to know more about Sophia, he’ll be more shattered.But I'm not here to seek justice for Adam; I'm here for myself and those young women Sophia wronged. Adam can figure out how he wants to handle Sophia, or even try to save her for all I care. You never know with Adam Miller—his unpredictability infuriates me, but my focus remains on ensuring justice for the victims.Knowing that someone like Sophia won't withstand the pressure. She needs to face the full weight of her actions and finally crack under the stress. It's only then that she might understand the gravity of the harm she's caused.First, I need to track her down. According to the information Mario provided, she was seen in public just a few days ago, but now no one seems to know
ADAM’S POVI can't believe what Sophia has done! I just found out that she invited Aria to a business party with the sinister intention of trapping her. Her plan was to drug Aria and have her sexually assaulted by that scumbag, Brad Johnson. What's worse, not many people realize that Brad has a history of sexual assault allegations, although all charges against him were eventually dropped.Now I understand why Grandpa never liked Sophia and never approved of her being my wife. Grandpa always trusted his instincts more than his heart or mind. I'm grateful for that wisdom. At least Aria came into my life, and I'm determined to win her back, no matter how long it takes or what I have to do.Sophia is the weak link in this case and right now, I need to find her. I’ll need to make sure everyone who has been involved in hurting my Aria, should be punished.I clench my fists in anger, tempted to throw punches at that guy, when suddenly, a golden opportunity knocks on my door.I see Sophia. In
ARIA’S POVI am hoping with all my heart that this time I can trust Adam to catch Sophia. If I don't enlist his assistance, she might slip away forever, or the bad guys could continue trapping innocent girls. The stakes are too high to risk doing it alone and I can feel that time is running out.It's that gut-wrenching feeling that keeps punching you deep inside, pushing you to act immediately and set things right.As soon as I reach Adam's house, I'm appalled to see Sophia there! Suddenly, a wave of betrayal washes over me, making me question my trust in Adam.While Adam greets me with a warm smile, I can't help but notice Sophia's tear-streaked face. It makes me wonder what story she might have spun this time to elicit his sympathy.The burning question in my mind is whether Adam has been duped by her again. Her presence here, and his welcoming demeanor, fill me with doubt and frustration.Just then, Sophia’s gaze turn on me. In a flash, she runs towards me, clutches at my feet, begg
ARIA’S POVRight now, I have more pressing matters than dealing with Sophia. When I left Adam's house that day, Mario had already secured us a skilled lawyer for our case. His name is Lucas Donovan. Mario informs me that he is a principled man who consistently handles rape and assault cases, and so far, he has won all of them.Moreover, Mario tells me that he has found more victims willing to sue both Jared and Brad. I feel immensely relieved and empowered, knowing that I have an army supporting me in this fight.Today is the day I step into Brad’s supposedly prestigious office tower, not just to deliver an important message, but to personally hand him his doom.When I enter the front desk, the receptionist calls Brad's personal assistant to see if Brad is available to meet with me. It seems that Brad is very eager to meet because the receptionist quickly guides me into Brad’s office.The smug look on his face makes me want to punch him.“Looks like you can’t get enough of me, huh?”I
BRAD’S POVAh, the day has finally come where I'll stand in the accused box and be judged. After so many years of evading justice, I shall face everyone once again.What does she think of herself, really? She's devoid of any proof against me, yet she's brazenly attempting to manipulate and pressure me into confessing to crimes just to ensnare me. It's infuriating how she underestimates my resolve and tries to play games with my future.Nobody has ever been able to harm me. I see myself as invincible for two compelling reasons; firstly, there are no witnesses, and even if there were any, they are all my close associates who share a bond of loyalty that ensures their silence.Secondly, as I explained to Aria earlier, there is no concrete evidence against me. We meticulously planned each instance to ensure there were no surveillance cameras to capture our actions.In the past, whenever women attempted to involve the police, we skillfully manipulated the situation in our favor. Today, I a
