“Why are you so angry? I thought you didn’t love her. Since you’ve chosen Sophia, why don’t you stop meddling in Aria’s life?”
I I stared at him, incredulous. “What choice? What does this have to do with Sophia?”
“Enough,” Aria raised her hand, a sharp, cutting motion that silenced us both.
“This ends here. I’ll have Joe transferred to another school.” her voice cold and final.
Her words hit me like a punch to the gut. I opened my mouth to argue, to protest, but no words came out. She didn’t give me a
chance to find therm

Without looking back, she took Joe’s hand and led him toward the car, her back straight, her steps
I watched them go, a storm of emotions raging inside me, but none of them strong enough to break the silence I was left in.
When I finally arrived home, the day had stretched on too long, leaving me feeling wrung out and exhausted.
The moment I stepped inside, Sophia was there, her eyes lighting up with a mixture of surprise and relief as she noticed Joe at my
“You brought him back yourself?” she asked, her voice soft and hopeful.
But I wasn’t in the mood for her manipulations.
“I warned you before, Sophia. Stop manipulating William,” I said, my voice flat, drained of any warmth.
Her face shifted, a shadow of guilt passing over her features before being replaced by Indignation.
“I’m sorry,” she said, her voice trembling slightly as she tried to defend herself. “I was just afraid, Liam. Afraid that you’d break

Sophia’s eyes flashed with anger, her voice rising as she shot back, “You always believe that bitch over me and William! Do you have any idea what it’s like, seeing you protect her while you barely look at us? She’s been fooling around with Logan for years, probably before your divorce was even finalized!”
Her words were meant to wound, and they hit their mark, but I wasn’t about to show it

The
house settled into an uneasy silence.
I looked at him, feeling a pang of guilt, but I couldn’t bring myself to comfort him, not now.
All I could focus on was the truth–whatever it was, wherever it might be hiding in the web of lies and half–truths that had come to define my life.
Turning away from them, I made my way out to my car. The door closed behind me with a soft click, sealing me in the quiet,
leaving me alone with my thoughts and the echoes of everything that had been said.
I pulled out my phone and dialed my assistant. When he picked up, I didn’t waste any time.
“I need you to look into what Aria has been doing all these years, especially anything related to Joe. And keep tabs on Logan’s
whereabouts.”
I was done playing games. I needed answers, and I was going to get them, no matter what it took.
The truth was out there, somewhere in the mess that my life had become, and I was going to find it, no matter what it cost me.
