Chapter 56

Aria's POV My fingers trembled so badly I could barely take a screenshot of the banking app. One hundred million dollars. There had to be some mistake. I tried three times before finally capturing the screen, then immediately sent it to Lillian. Me: [Screenshot] Is this... am I seeing things? Is that really TEN MILLION?!?! Three dots appeared immediately, followed by a string of shocked emojis. Then: Lillian: WHAT THE ACTUAL F***?! Hold on. Let me count the zeros. Lillian: 100,000,00. OH MY GOD. THAT'S TEN MILLION!!! Lillian: ARIA WHAT DID YOU DO?!?! I sank onto the piano bench, feeling lightheaded. Me: I didn't do anything! It just appeared in my account! Lillian: Remember when I joked about getting your husband to reimburse you for turning down his aunt's ten million dollars? Well, damn girl, he doesn't mess around! Me: This has to be some kind of mistake. Lillian: A $10 million "mistake"? Only Aiden Carter could transfer that kind of money as casually as I Venmo someone for coffee.
