The day shift brought a new crew of cops to the station.

When they heard the 911 caller was also the prsuspect, their brains froze, like they missed their morning
coffee.
Usually, anyone bold enough to waltz into a precinct to clear their nis either a slick crook with connections
or actually innocent.
One look at Natasha's cool, steady face, and the cops bet on the latter.
Still, the victim's family was dead set, so the cops had to play along and dig in.
Then the kicker: the victim and suspect were sisters. Olivia, the adopted daughter, was being pampered like a
princess, while Natasha, the real daughter, stood alone, demanding a chance to prove herself.
The female officer taking notes untangled the family and shot a look that said, “What the hell?”
The Clark brothers-one stone-cold, the other losing his cool-treated Natasha like public enemy
number one.
As questioning rolled on, the supposed motive cup: Natasha was allegedly jealous of Olivia since they were
kids, thinking she stole her boyfriend.
The officer glanced at the guy fussing over the pale, coughing Olivia-handing her meds, water, a blanket, the
whole deal-and threw him a look that could sour milk.
‘Really, dude?’ she thought. ‘He is practically glued to her side. Do they need to catch them in the act to call it
shady?’
Natasha stayed quiet, playing ball with the investigation, and the officer's heart went out to her.
When their eyes met, Natasha flashed a chill smile that hit like a spark.
‘Damn,’ the officer thought, ‘this girl's too gorgeous to be a killer. Then she eyed Olivia and nearly rolled her
eyes. ‘Rich people , straight out of a reality show.
Feelings couldn’t sway the case, though.
The officer grabbed Natasha a hot cocoa and a chocolate bar from her stash.
She'd seen the family’s maid skip Natasha's breakfast like it was nothing. The favoritism was loud
and clear.
Olivia's injuries were minor, and she wanted to settle things quietly, but hiring someone to hurt her

Cracking the case was simple: track down the hit-and-run driver and make him spill.

Turned out, he was paid off-not by Natasha, but by Alice N, an old high school classmate of both
sisters.
Alice and Olivia danced at the scompany, always scrapping for the lead role.
Alice admitted she wanted to sideline Olivia with a small injury to steal her spot.
Knowing the sisters’ bad blood-and still pissed about Natasha bullying her back in the day-she framed Natasha
to kill two birds with one stone.
She figured Olivia would let it slide for Natasha's sake, and the blwould stick. But Natasha
wasn’t about to take the fall.
Alice’s dance career was kaput, but since Olivia's injuries were light and she felt bad for the driver, she pushed
for a deal. Neither he nor Alice got hit hard. Alice stayed cool about it.
Dancing was just a paycheck for her modest background, and whatever she got out of this was enough to keep
her quiet.
As she passed Natasha, Alice shot her a smug look. ‘Cleared your name, huh? But Olivia's still winning!"
With a bitter smirk, she thought, ‘Natasha’s got all the money, but she’s just as screwed as me.
The truth left the Clark family squirming.
Andrew, still stinging from the slap he’d given Natasha that morning, felt a twinge of guilt but turned it into
blame. “If you hadn't been such a bully back then, no one could've framed Olivia.”
Natasha laughed, pure disbelief. “So, if Olivia trips, it's my fault for walking by? She's so fragile, why not put her
in a bubble and pray to her daily?”
“What kinda nonsense is that? You're bad-mouthing your sister again!” Andrew raised his hand.
“Hey! No swinging in here!” the officer snapped.
Olivia coughed like she was on her last breath, and Madeline rushed over, glaring at her husband and kids,
“Olivia's always been sick, and you drag her out at dawn for this crap, Natasha, when are you gonna grow up?”
Thomas piled on, face sour. “You knew it wasn’t you. Why turn it into a circus and embarrass us?”
Noel smirked. “Maybe someone's just desperate for the spotlight.”
Natasha didn’t flinch, like she’d heard this a million times.

Natasha was over it. She thanked the officer and strutted out.
Lucas started to follow, but Olivia wobbled tically, and he stopped to hold her up.
Madeline called after Natasha, “Where are you going? Your engagement party with Lucas is in a
month. Chome.”
They could handle the guests and food, but she'd need to try on her dress.
At the word “engagement,” Olivia's eyes dropped, her grip tightening on Lucas.
Natasha spun around, her smile sharp. “Mrs. Clark, take a good look at who Lucas is holding. You really think
throwing our engagement party is a good idea?”
Every eye locked on Lucas and Olivia, tangled up together. They looked good-too bad he was the fiancé, and she
was the fiancee’s sister.
