CHAPTER 91
ARIA’S POV
I’m busy packing with a heavy heart, my emotions in turmoil. It’s only because of Grandpa that I’m willing to go through with this. Just then, Mario calls me to share his findings.
I listen intently as Mario dives into the details of his findings. His voice is steady, but the weight of his words fills me with a mix of anxiety and anticipation. He explains each point meticulously, unraveling a web of information that paints a clearer picture of what’s been happening behind the scenes.
Every revelation, every piece of evidence he shares, adding to my growing understanding of the situation. My mind races as I try to absorb it all, feeling a complex blend of anger, betrayal, and determination.
“She paid these guys to tamper with the brakes, Miss Cook Shouldn’t we press charges?”
Well, to press charges is a great idea, but at the same time, this matter is so sensitive that I don’t intend on taking
wrong step.
“Okay, Mario. Thanks for informing me, but wait for some time and I’ll let you know.”
Although hesitantly, Mario agrees with me. I can sense his desire for justice burning beneath the surface. If it were up to him, he’d waste no time in sending all the evidence to the police and getting Eva arrested. His agreement is a reluctant acknowledgement of the gravity of the situation, and I can feel the weight of his determination to see justice served.
As I disconnect the call, I slump into the nearby chair, feeling the weight of the revelations settle heavily on my shoulders. When will the Millers stop plotting against me? always knew Eva was a spoiled brat, but to go so far as to bribe someone to tamper with my brakes? Seriously? The extent of her scheming is beyond anything I imagined, leaving me reeling with a mixture of anger and disbelief.
All this drama she caused in the hospital, blaming me for her brother’s accident and insinuating that I should have been in his place, is clear proof of her involvement in the accident. Her actions and accusations only confirm my suspicions, revealing just how far she’s willing to go to manipulate the situation.
If Adam hadn’t reached in time, I shudder to think what might have happened to me. I never imagined she would go to such extremes just because she lost her allowance. Her vindictiveness is beyond anything I expected, and the realization leaves me both shaken and furious.
I immediately decide to call Adam and let him know about what I’ve found, although I know that he may not believe me.
“Adam.”
“Yes, Aria.”
Adam’s voice is soothing and full of happiness when he first speaks, but as I begin to recount his dear sister’s recent actions, his tone immediately shifts to anger. The joy in his voice fades, replaced by a palpable tension as he processes the disturbing news.
However, to my astonishment, he believes me. Well, that’s another first, if I may say.
“I believe you, Aria.”
“Even if you hadn’t, I have got proofs to have her jailed.”
The silence stretches on the other end of the line, heavy with unspoken emotion. It’s as if the weight of Adam’s hurt over Eva’s actions is clear, filling the space between us Despite the absence of words, I can sense the depth of

his feelings, the disappointment and betrayal simmering beneath the surface. It’s a silence that speaks volumes, conveying more than any words could express.
“I can’t continue living in a house where my life is constantly being put in danger.”
My voice carries a mix of frustration and resolve which I am sure must have already make Adam’s heart skip a
beat.
“When you’ll move back, Eva won’t be there. I give you my word.”
I hesitate, emphasizing just how concerned I am about being around someone who could be considered a murderer. I can feel the tension growing as I suggest the possibility of getting a court order against Eva Miller, a move that further unsettles Adam.
Adam’s concern for the family’s reputation clashes with my unwavering determination to protect myself. The fear of what Eva might do next pulses beneath the surface of my resolve, but it only serves to strengthen my determination. I refuse to be a pawn in her games any longer.
“Leave Eva to me. I’ll give her the punishment she deserves.”
