Aria's Pov
I woke up the next morning to a severe headache.
My head felt like someone had taken a hammer to it, and my mouth tasted like a mixture of cotton and sour milk.
I reached for my phone on the nightstand,a habit I had formed ever since I turned into a "celebrity". The screen lit up with a flood of notifications before I could even unlock it.
Breaking news alerts. Dozens of them.
**"Lucian Voss Released on Emergency Bail After Overnight Hearing"**
**"Billionaire CEO Walks Free—Power Play or Justice?"**
**"Voss Arrest: Unconstitutional Release or Elite Privilege?"**
**"Wife's Viral Confession—Did Aria Thorne Save Her Husband?"**
I sat up so fast the room tilted.
Lucian was out.
I opened the first article. The headline screamed:
**"In a stunning late-night decision, Lucian Voss was granted emergency bail after only hours in custody. Legal experts call it unprecedented. Critics say it's proof the rich play by different rules."**
