ARIA’S POVAs I spot the car crashing into the tree in front of me, my heart races. I recognize that car. Without a second thought, I unbuckle my seatbelt and scramble out of my vehicle. My heels click sharply against the asphalt as I rush towards the black sedan.The hood is crumpled, smoke rising ominously from the engine. I reach the driver's side door and peer inside, my hands trembling as I try to pull it open. Inside, I see a familiar face slumped against the airbag. My breath catches in my throat as I realize who it is.“Adam! No!”He stares at me, unable to move, and my heart sinks. I reach out to him, my fingers brushing against his arm. Instead of mourning in pain, he asks faintly."Are you alright?"His concern for me, even in this dire situation, overwhelms me. I choke back a sob and nod to comfort him."Yes, I’m fine. I’ll call 911."I fumble for my phone, my hands shaking, and dial emergency services. I can barely keep my voice steady as I explain the situation. Glancing

ARIA’S POVGrandpa isn't easily fooled. As days go by with Adam still lying in the hospital, my routine visits do little to mask the truth.Grandpa starts noticing the subtleties. He observes how I don’t linger after visiting hours, how I keep a careful distance, never reaching out to touch Adam. It’s these small, telling signs that finally clue him in to the reality we’ve been trying to hide.He realizes that Adam and I are no longer living together. His piercing gaze, filled with a mix of disappointment and understanding, tells me he’s figured it out. There’s no hiding the truth from him anymore.Then, he finally asks Adam.“What’s going on between both of you?”Before I can open up to him, Adam intervenes.“Actually, Grandpa… Um, it’s my fault. I made her mad and she left home.”Adam continues, explaining that we didn’t want Grandpa to be upset, which is why we had concealed the truth."We thought it would be best to keep it from you until we could sort things out ourselves."He ad

ADAM’S POVAria is so mad at me, and she has every right to be. I’ve endangered Grandpa’s life, but Sophia being in the hospital isn’t entirely my fault. However, getting her pregnant in the first place is totally on me.I have warned Sophia repeatedly not to come to the hospital, but she ignored me. She has been insistent for a long time now, and today she finally shows up despite my objections.Grandpa is with me when Sophia arrives. I am baffled to see her come in unannounced, without informing me beforehand. And mind you, she does not even turn her back and leave when Grandpa hasn’t yet noticed her.Instead, she marches right in, greeting us and addressing me very intimately. Even though she knows Grandpa doesn't like her, she insists on forcing herself into the family and having a conversation with us.“What is she doing here, Adam?”Grandpa's question sends a chill of unease down my spine, stirring up a wave of confusion and apprehension within me.Before I can even muster an ex

ARIA’S POVIs Adam on drugs or something? Didn't Grandpa already find out that we're divorced? So why is he suddenly asking me to pretend we're still married? I'm feeling a mix of disbelief and frustration. It's like the ground beneath me has shifted, and I'm struggling to make sense of what's happening.“Do you even know what are you saying and asking me, Adam?”“Yes, Aria. I know very well what I’m asking you.”I stay silent, waiting to hear more of what he has to say. After a few seconds, he hits me with the most astonishing explanation.The revelation hits me like a ton of bricks. I'm stunned, trying to wrap my head around the implications of Grandpa's partial memory loss. The fact that he's forgotten about the divorce adds another layer of complexity to an already bewildering situation.“How is this possible?”I am still trying to recover from the news and Adam keeps going on.“He has gotten a deep shock.
