Chapter 28

Eva's Point of View

You know that feeling when your whole world is about to come crashing down? That's exactly how it felt when Max looked at me, his eyes burning with an anger I'd never seen before. Max's voice cut through that awful silence.

"Eva, what have you done?"

God, those words. They hit me like a truck, leaving me gasping for air. I stumbled backward, my hands trembling. How could he even think I'd do something like this? After everything we'd been through together?

"I didn't do anything," I managed to whisper through my tears. My mascara was probably running down my face, but I couldn't care less. "Max, please... you have to believe me. I swear I didn't..."

"Look at him, Eva!" He was screaming now, pointing at his grandfather's body lying between us like some horrible nightmare come to life. "He's dead! You're standing here covered in his blood, and you expect me to believe you didn't do this?"

My heart felt like it was being ripped apart. This wasn't just abou

    # Chapter 29Max's Point of ViewYou know that feeling when your whole world falls apart? Not the slow kind of falling apart, like when a relationship dies bit by bit, but the sudden kind that hits you like a truck? That's what happened to me that day.I couldn't stop staring at Eva on the floor. She was crying so hard her whole body was shaking. Her makeup was running down her face in black streaks, and her hands... God, her hands were still covered in his blood. My grandfather's blood.As I stared at Eva, collapsed on the floor, her body wracked with sobs, my mind replayed the events that had led me here. My fists clenched, and I struggled to hold back the whirlwind of emotions that threatened to consume me.. I was sitting at my desk at work, going through some boring paperwork, when my phone buzzed. Unknown number. Usually, I ignore those calls, but something made me pick up this time. Maybe it was fate, maybe it was just bad luck."Mr. Grave?" A woman's voice, all shaky and scare

    Chapter 30EVA'S POINT OF VIEW My whole world is falling apart.The police sirens are getting louder and louder, like they're screaming just for me. I can't stop shaking. I'm still on the floor, and it's so cold down here, but I can't seem to make myself get up. Everything's spinning around me like one of those carnival rides that make you sick.Every time I close my eyes, even for a second, I see grandpa Lucas lying there. God, there was so much blood. My hands are still covered in it, I tried to save him, I really did. But now that blood is like proof of something I didn't do, and I can't wash it away.Max is standing across the room, and it's killing me. He looks like a stranger now. His face is all hard and angry, like someone carved it out of stone. How can he look at me like that? After everything we've been through together?"Eva." The way he says my name... it's like he's spitting out something gross. "How could you?"My throat feels so tight it hurts. "Max, please," I beg hi

    # Chapter 31 Eva's Point of ViewI never thought I'd end up here.The guard pushed me into the cell without saying a word. The metal door made a loud bang as it closed behind me. I jumped at the sound, and my whole body started shaking. The cell was small, maybe eight feet by six feet, with gray walls that had little scratches all over them. There was a thin mattress on a metal bed frame, a silver toilet in the corner, and a small sink that was stained brown. The whole place smelled like bleach and something else - something that made my stomach turn.I walked over to the bed and sat down slowly. The mattress was hard and made weird crinkly sounds when I moved. Through the bars, I could see other cells, but they were all empty. I was alone. The silence was the worst part. It gave me too much time to think about everything that had happened..I remembered how cold Max had been when the police put the handcuffs on me, he just stood there, staring at the ground like I didn't exist.My

    Chapter 32 The TrialEva's point of view I stared at my reflection in the bathroom mirror of the courthouse. My face looked pale and tired. Dark circles sat under my eyes from not sleeping for days. The orange jumpsuit they made me wear made me look even worse. My hands shook as I splashed cold water on my face."Time to go," the female guard said. Her voice wasn't mean, but it wasn't kind either. She just sounded bored, like this was just another day for her.My legs felt wobbly as I walked. The handcuffs around my wrists clicked with every step. The sound echoed through the empty hallway, reminding me that I was a prisoner now. Not a wife. Not a daughter. Just prisoner number 24601.The guard led me to the big wooden doors of the courtroom. I could hear voices on the other side. Lots of them. My stomach did a flip."Ready?" the guard asked.No. I wasn't ready. I would never be ready for this. But I nodded anyway.The doors opened, and it felt like walking into a nightmare.The cou

    Chapter 33EVA POINT OF VIEW I never thought I'd end up in prison. Never. But here I am.The guard pushed me through the heavy metal door. It made this awful sound when it shut behind me - BANG! - like a gunshot. I jumped. My heart was beating so fast I thought it might explode.Everything felt wrong. The orange jumpsuit was too big and scratchy against my skin. The air smelled bad like cleaning stuff and sweat and something else I couldn't name. Something scary. My fancy shoes from the courtroom were gone, replaced by cheap plastic sandals that made my feet hurt.Yesterday, I'd been standing in court. I can still see it all in my head the judge looking down at me like I was dirt, Max (my husband, or ex-husband now, I guess) sitting there with hate in his eyes, and that jury. God, that jury. When they said "guilty," my whole world fell apart.Now I wasn't Eva Grave anymore. I wasn't the woman who lived in a big house and went to fancy parties. I was just a number Inmate 2469. That's

    Chapter 34EVA POINT OF VIEW My whole body hurt so bad I could barely think straight. The concrete floor of the prison was freezing against my face, and everything around me seemed to spin like a crazy merry-go-round. I could hear them all laughing those horrible sounds bouncing off the walls like they were trying to drive me crazy.I never knew people could be this cruel. Back in my old life, the worst thing I had to deal with was fake friends talking behind my back at parties. But this? This was different. These women didn't just want to hurt me they wanted to break me completely."Aw, look at the princess now!" someone shouted. "Not so pretty anymore, are you?"Their words hurt worse than the bruises. Every time they called me "princess" or "rich girl," it felt like they were stabbing me with little needles. I wasn't that person anymore. That Eva the one with the perfect life and the designer clothes she died the moment they found me guilty.I tried to push myself up off the floor

    Chapter 35: EVA POINT OF VIEW I thought I'd seen the worst prison could throw at me. I was wrong.When that heavy door creaked open and Sara walked in, my stomach dropped like I'd swallowed a brick. She looked exactly like she always did perfect makeup, designer clothes, not a hair out of place. Like she'd just stepped out of a magazine. And there I was, bruised and dirty on the cold floor, wearing a jumpsuit that smelled like cheap detergent and sweat."Well, well, well." Her voice hadn't changed either. Still that fake sweet tone that made my skin crawl. "How the mighty have fallen."I tried to stand up, but everything hurt. My ribs screamed where they'd kicked me yesterday, and my legs felt like they were made of jelly. But I wouldn't let her see me on the ground. I wouldn't give her that."What do you want, Sara?" My voice came out rougher than I meant it to. My throat was still raw from screaming during yesterday's beating.She walked toward me like she was on a catwalk, her hi

    Chapter 36: Eva's Point of ViewI couldn't sleep. The floor was too hard and too cold, and my whole body hurt from the beating I got yesterday. Every time I moved, pain shot through me like lightning. The thin blanket they gave me didn't help much it was scratchy and smelled like it hadn't been washed in months. I kept thinking about home, about my soft bed and warm covers. About how different everything was just a few weeks ago.When I finally did fall asleep, I dreamed about my old life. I was sitting in our kitchen, watching my nanny make pancakes on Sunday morning. Dad was reading his newspaper. Everything felt normal. Everything felt right.But good dreams never last in prison."Get up!" A wall of cold water hit my face. I woke up gasping and choking, water going up my nose and into my mouth. My eyes burned as I tried to open them. Through the blur, I saw them standing over me five women, all of them grinning like they were having the best time of their lives."Look who's final

    Chapter 100Maximilian’s Point of ViewThe air in the boardroom felt thick and heavy, pressing down on me like an invisible weight. The tension was almost unbearable, crackling in the silence like a storm waiting to break. I sat at the head of the long oak table, my fingers gripping the armrests of the chair tightly, trying to steady myself. Around the table, familiar faces stared back at me, their expressions a mix of doubt and suspicion. These were people I had worked with for years, individuals who once respected my decisions, trusted my leadership. Now, their eyes held something else judgment.I took a deep breath, but it did little to ease the discomfort in my chest. The room seemed colder than usual, the sharp scent of polished wood mingling with the faint aroma of coffee cups left untouched on the table. The faint hum of the air conditioning was the only sound breaking the silence, and even that felt intrusive.“Mr. Graves,” one of the senior board members, Harold Whitman, bega

    Chapter 99Max’s Point of ViewThe muffled hum of the city outside my office was a stark contrast to the suffocating silence within. I sat behind my desk, staring at the sprawling view of the skyline, but my mind was consumed by the chaos of the morning.The memory of the reporters, their voices like daggers, still clung to me. Their accusations echoed in my mind, each one sharper than the last. My fists tightened against the cool wood of the desk. No matter how absurd their claims were, they had planted a seed of doubt in the public’s mind, tarnishing everything I’d worked to build.A knock on the door snapped me from my thoughts. “Come in,” I barked, my voice harsher than I intended.My secretary, Maria, stepped inside, her usual composed demeanor faltering. She held a tablet in her hands, her expression tense. “Sir, I thought you should see this.”“What now?” I growled, leaning back in my chair as she approached.Maria placed the tablet on my desk, her fingers trembling slightly. “

    Chapter 98Max’s Point of ViewThe flash of cameras hit my eyes the moment I stepped out of my car. The usual buzz of morning traffic was drowned out by the chaotic frenzy of reporters swarming outside the company gates. A sea of microphones and questioning voices surged toward me, their questions sharp and relentless.“Mr. Graves, is it true you and Sara conspired to kill your grandfather?” one voice shouted, cutting through the noise.“Do you have any comments on the evidence emerging that implicates you in the murder?” another chimed in.My jaw clenched, my hand tightening on the strap of my briefcase as I fought to keep my expression neutral. The accusations were absurd, yet the weight of their words struck something deep within me—a mix of anger, disbelief, and the faintest twinge of fear.“Mr. Graves! Is the recent media rise linked to you framing eva as the culprit for your grandfather death?” a third voice demanded, forcing me to pause mid-step.I turned sharply, my glare enou

    Chapter 97Eva’s Point of ViewThe soft clink of glass meeting wood was the only sound in my office as I leaned back in my chair, a faint smile playing on my lips. The dim lighting cast a golden hue over the room, reflecting off the crystal decanter on my desk. Beside it sat two half-filled glasses of wine.“Cheers to a small victory,” I said, raising my glass toward Josh, who lounged on the couch across from me.Josh gave a wry grin, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he raised his glass in response. “Small? I’d say this was a significant blow to them.” He took a sip, his gaze fixed on me with a mixture of admiration and curiosity. “You’re playing this game better than I expected, Eva.”I took a slow sip of the rich, crimson wine, letting its warmth spread through me. “It’s not about playing the game, lJosh,” I replied, setting the glass down gently. “It’s about justice. About proving the truth.”Josh arched an eyebrow, leaning forward slightly. “And you think the public turning ag

    Chapter 96Sara’s Point of ViewThe silence in the room was deafening, broken only by the soft hum of the air conditioner. My mother paced the floor with the ferocity of a caged lioness, her heels clicking against the hardwood with each sharp step. Her face, usually a mask of icy composure, was twisted in fury, her eyes blazing with unrestrained anger.“I have never,” she hissed, pausing mid-step to glare at the space as if her words could strike down an unseen foe, “been humiliated like that in my entire life.”She spun around, facing me. “Do you know what it feels like, Sara? To be reduced to nothing in front of the entire world? To have everything you’ve worked for trampled on because of someone else’s incompetence?”Her voice rose with each word, cutting through the air like a whip. I flinched but kept my gaze steady, though my heart pounded in my chest.“It’s not my fault,” I muttered, my voice barely above a whisper.“Not your fault?” she repeated, her tone dripping with disbeli

    Chapter 95Sara’s Point of ViewThe dim glow of the television filled the room, the sharp voice of the news anchor cutting through the silence like a knife. I sat on the edge of the sofa, my hands clenched tightly in my lap as each damning word echoed in the air around me. Beside me, my mother’s face was a pale mask of fury, her lips pressed into a thin line as her sharp eyes flickered between the screen and Maximilian.He stood by the window, his broad back turned to us, his posture as rigid as the tension in the room. The world outside was still, a stark contrast to the storm raging inside the estate.The anchor’s voice carried on, relentless and unforgiving.“Maximilian Graves, the celebrated CEO, is under fire for allegedly protecting his mistress, Sara Brown, from facing the consequences of her actions. Public outrage continues to grow, with many accusing the duo of conspiring to frame Eva Brown, Maximilian’s estranged wife and Sara's Step-sister, in a bid to strip her of her inh

    Chapter 94 Sara’s Point of ViewThe first sound that registered was the shattering of glass. A bottle, hurled by one of the crowd, smashed against the pavement near my feet, sending shards flying. My pulse raced as fear clawed at me, and I instinctively flinched, shielding my face with trembling hands. The jeers and insults continued, a relentless tide of rage that refused to ebb.“Traitors! Murderers!”“You thought you could get away with it?”The words stung like a thousand needles, each one embedding itself deeper into my skin. My mother’s grip on my arm was iron-like, her nails digging in as she tried to keep me upright.“Keep walking,” she hissed through gritted teeth, her voice unsteady. “Don’t give them the satisfaction.”But how could I? The world had turned against us. Every face in the crowd was twisted with contempt, their eyes gleaming with righteous fury. I felt naked under their gaze, exposed and vulnerable in a way I never had been before.Another projectile a crushed

    Chapter 93Sara’s Point of ViewThe morning air was thick with tension, as if the universe itself knew what awaited us beyond the front door. I glanced at my mother, her face set in a mask of forced composure. Her sharp features, so similar to mine, gave no hint of the storm brewing within. But I knew her too well. Behind that calm facade was a woman just as shattered as I was.“They’ll be out there,” I murmured, my voice hoarse from a night of restless tears.Mom adjusted her scarf, her movements measured and deliberate. “Let them. We’ve faced worse than a few cameras.”Her words, meant to reassure, felt hollow. We hadn’t faced worse not like this. This wasn’t just scandal; this was public crucifixion.I tightened my grip on the handle of my purse, my knuckles white. “Maybe we should wait. Let this die down.”Mom scoffed, her lips curling into a bitter smile. “Wait for what? For them to get bored? They won’t. Scandals like ours don’t just fade, Sara. They fester.”Her words stung bec

    Chapter 92Josh’s Point of ViewThe silence in my office was heavy, broken only by the soft rustle of Eva moving around as she grabbed the first aid kit from the shelf. My face stung, the bruise on my cheekbone throbbing where Max had landed his punch. But the pain didn’t matter. Not when Eva was standing here, her presence like a soothing balm on my frayed nerves.“Sit,” she commanded, her voice firm but gentle. She pulled a chair closer to me, her eyes scanning my face for injuries.I obeyed, leaning back as she opened the kit and pulled out some antiseptic. Her touch was careful, deliberate, as she dabbed a cotton ball against the cut near my eyebrow.“You didn’t have to step in like that,” I said, my voice low.Her hands paused for a fraction of a second before resuming. “Yes, I did. Max had no right to treat you or anyone like that.”My jaw tightened at the mention of his name. “He doesn’t deserve you, Eva. Not now, not ever.”She sighed, her expression softening as she focused o
