Chapter 79

• ARIA'S POV
• Reading all the hate comments directed at me on social media was depressing. I had to turn off my phone when I began to receive calls from colleagues and friends from both high school and college.
• Throughout that day, I lay on the couch and stared at the ceiling after crying my eyes out as I thought of the next step to take. All my plans to forget about everything and move on went down the drain, leaving me with no choice of hope. I couldn't get justice for my parents and I couldn't even defend myself. I was sure my parents were disappointed in me for the way things turned out for me.
