Chapter 167
ARIANA'S POV
Odette stepped into the living room, her presence sending a ripple through the tension-laden air. As she crossed the threshold, a shadow flickered over her striking green eyes. For a fleeting moment, I was struck by how beautiful she was. Her green eyes—the same shade as mine. The same eyes we had inherited from the same bloodline. We were cousins. The realization had once seemed irrelevant, but now it was a link that bound us inextricably.
She looked around, taking in the room’s occupants. Her gaze lingered on each of us, her expression a mix of apprehension and resolve.
“You should have no fears,” she began, her voice ste

ROBERT'S POVThe room seemed to freeze, everyone waiting for Sylvia's answer. But she said nothing, her eyes closed, her red hair framing her face. I could feel the pressure building inside me, a mix of frustration, exhaustion, and anger.I had just been in an accident and had to listen to Thompson and Odette in one night. The last thing I needed was Sylvia closing in on me like this. She had to release the name.“Why won't you say his name?” I demanded, my voice echoing off the walls. Sylvia remained silent, and the tension snapped. I slammed my hand against the table, the impact sending the lamp crashing to the floor. Shards of glass scattered across the room like tiny, sparkl

ARIANA'S POVI stood frozen, my mind grappling with the officer’s words. “Odette Moreau is still at large.” The phrase echoed in my head, a mocking reminder of our misplaced trust. Just hours ago, Odette had looked so remorseful, promising she would turn herself in. We had given her the benefit of the doubt, and now she had vanished.Outside the jailhouse, the morning sun seemed too bright, almost harsh, against the cold realization settling in. The chaos of the crowd, the flashing cameras, and the murmuring reporters all felt distant, muted by the storm raging inside me. We stood in silence, the weight of disappointment heavy on our shoulders.Sylvia cleared her throat, b

ROBERT'S POV Odette stepped forward, her presence commanding and unexpectedly serene amidst the chaos. The realization hit me like a punch to the gut: we had been played. “Odette, what's going on?” Ariana's voice was barely above a whisper, trembling with a mix of fear and betrayal.Odette's laughter filled the room, a cold, mocking sound that sent a chill down my spine. It was the same laugh I remembered from the night before, after she had rammed her car into ours. The icy grip of fear tightened around my heart.Before we could react, armed policemen stormed the room, their shouts of “Freez

ARIANA'S POV I should have been celebrating. Odette Moreau was finally going to pay for her crimes, and justice had been served. I could finally sleep at night without nightmares of the torture I had undergone in her capture. I hoped so anyway. I couldn't go through life looking over my shoulders forever. I couldn't wake up each night in a sweat because I had woken up from yet another nightmare where I was being hit in the head. Even taking a shower was a daunting task because I could feel myself drowning.Now that both Reginald and Odette were behind bars, I should be happy but I couldn’t find it in me to be happy. Not with the way things stood between Rob and me.I paced the length of our bedroom, my anger bubbling just beneath the surface. Rob had humiliated Sylvia. Josh and Sylvia's relationship had fractured because of his reckless words. How could he not see the damage he had caused? I paused by the window, looking out at the garden below. The roses were in full bloom. I used

ROBERT'S POV The living room felt too small, closing in on me with every anxious step I took. My thoughts raced faster than my pacing feet. I knew I should be calling my law firm, getting them to assign me a lawyer to fight this custody issue with Margaret, but the very idea of a custody battle felt like plunging into a sordid nightmare.Margaret. Just thinking about her name made my stomach churn. A custody battle would be dirty, and I didn’t want to drag Nate through that mess. I stopped by the window, staring out at the garden Ariana loved so much. The roses were in full bloom, vibrant and alive—I thought amusingly that her devotion to this garden used to irritate me in our first year of marriage. Everything about Ariana irritated me then. But here was I. In love. Hopelessly. More pressing than the legal fight was Ariana. I had to talk to her first, and had to make her understand everything. And Josh—I owed him an apology too. Despite our differences, he’d been there when Ariana

ARIANA'S POV The words from the letter echoed in my mind like a relentless drumbeat. As long as you stay married to her, your case is lost. I felt dizzy, the world tilting on its axis. I needed air. I stumbled to the kitchen, pulling a bottle of water from the refrigerator. The cold liquid slid down my throat, but it did nothing to quench the panic rising inside me. My hands were shaking. I gripped the edge of the counter, trying to steady myself. The room seemed to blur and shift, the walls closing in on me. I took a deep breath, then another, but it felt like I couldn't get enough oxygen. I turned on the faucet and splashed cold

ROBERT'S POV I watched in helpless rage as Josh's hands clamped down on Ariana's arms. My muscles tensed, ready to spring, but I held back, my breath catching in my throat. Josh's eyes were wild, his grip too tight. I wanted to rip him away from her, but something stopped me—an awful, gnawing curiosity about what he would do next.Ariana's face was a mix of fear and shock. The room seemed to shrink, the air thickening with unspoken tension. Josh's gaze shifted, confusion flickering across his face. Then, abruptly, he shoved her away.

ARIANA'S POV I held onto Rob's hand, squeezing it tightly as the lawyer's words reverberated in my ears. Rob asked Jason to clarify what he meant, his voice betraying the tension he was trying to mask. The lawyer leaned back in his chair, taking a deep breath before speaking.“Mr. Stone, I'm going to be frank with you,” Jason said, his gaze piercing. “Ariana is your wife, right?”My heart sank to the pit of my stomach, and I felt a nauseating wave of dread wash over me. Rob's grip tightened around my hand. “Yes,” he answered.
