ARIA’S POV

The next morning, Brandon left for work earlier than usual.

I waited until I heard his car leave the compound before finally getting out of bed carefully. Amelia was still asleep, and one of the nurses Brandon hired stayed with her while I got dressed quietly.

I already knew Brandon would never agree to what I was about to do. That was exactly why I didn’t tell him. “You’ll only be gone for a short while, right?” the nurse asked softly while rocking Amelia gently.

“Yes,” I answered while grabbing my bag. “I won’t be long.”

And hopefully, Brandon would still be at work before I returned.

The drive to the lawyer’s office made me nervous the entire time. Not because I regretted going, but because I knew Brandon would be furious if he found

out.

Still, I could not sit around waiting anymore. Too much had already been stolen from me.

When I stepped into the office, the lawyer looked genuinely shocked to see me standing there alive and healthy. “Miss Aria?” he said quickly while standing up. “You’re awake?”

I nodded faintly. “Barely.”

Relief crossed his face immediately. “Thank God.”

I sat down slowly across from him. “I want us to continue from where we stopped before the accident.”

His expression became serious immediately. “Are you sure you’re ready for that?”

“I have to be.”

He studied me for a moment before nodding slowly. “Alright.”

For the next hour, we went through documents, company records and everything connected to my father’s business.

The more I saw, the angrier I became.

My uncle had buried himself deeply into the company already. Important positions had been replaced. Financial decisions were being made without my approval.

It felt like they were trying to erase my father completely. “Miss Aria,” the lawyer said carefully, “this won’t be easy.”

“I know.”

“There are powerful people involved now.”

I looked up at him immediately. “Like who?”

He hesitated slightly before answering. “Some investors connected to your uncle.”

My expression hardened. “And…” He paused briefly. “Brandon’s foster father.”

froze completely. “What?”

The lawyer adjusted his glasses carefully. “His name appeared during one of the recent partnership negotiations.”

A cold feeling slowly spread through my chest. No.

That couldn’t be right. But then I remembered the conversation Brandon had with his foster father yesterday. The sudden tension. The secrecy.

Something uncomfortable twisted painfully inside me. The lawyer kept talking, but my mind had already started racing. Was Brandon in on this? Did he want my father’s company too?

Worse, was he just pretending to help me so he would take everything away from me when I had finally trusted him completely? When I finally left his office, my chest felt heavy the entire drive home.

By the time I stepped into Brandon’s house again, I was mentally exhausted. But the moment I entered the living room, I froze immediately.

Brandon was sitting there waiting for me. My heart skipped instantly. He looked calm at first glance, but the expression in his eyes told a completely different story.

“How was your meeting with the lawyer?” he asked quietly.

I stopped moving completely. For a second, I honestly could not speak. “How….” I swallowed slowly. “How did you know?”

“I have my ways.”

That answer only irritated me more. I placed my bag down slowly. “You had somebody follow me?”

“You left the house secretly after almost dying,” he replied calmly. “What did you expect?”

I crossed my arms immediately. “I expected basic privacy.”

“And I expected you to rest properly.”

His voice became colder after that. “You barely recovered, Aria.”

“I’m fine.”

“No, you’re stubborn.” I stared at him angrily while he stood up slowly from the couch. “You are not leaving this house again until further notice,” he said firmly.

My brows pulled together immediately. “Excuse me?”

“I’ll handle the paperwork and evidence gathering myself.”

“That’s not your responsibility.”

“It became my responsibility the moment somebody tried to kill you.”

I shook my head immediately. “You’re wasting time.”

His expression darkened slightly. “I’m protecting you.”

“Or protecting your father’s interests?” Silence filled the room instantly. Brandon’s expression changed immediately, but I misunderstood it completely.

Because tu me his silence looked guilty. The lawyer’s words repeated loudly inside my head again. Partnership negotiations. His foster father.

Business interests. Suddenly everything felt suspicious.

“You knew,” I whispered slowly.

Brandon frowned immediately. “What are you talking about?”

“Your father is involved with my uncle’s plans, isn’t he?”

Shock crossed his face instantly, but I was too angry to notice properly. “Aria-

“That’s why you keep delaying everything,” I continued angrily. “You keep telling me to wait while they slowly steal everything from my father.”

“That’s not what’s happening.”

“Then why was your father involved in the negotiations?”

His entire body stiffened immediately. That reaction only made my anger worse. “Oh my God,” I muttered bitterly. “You really knew.”

“Aria, listen to me carefully-”

“No.” My voice cracked slightly. “I trusted you.”

“And you still should.”
