The Princess and the Pauper

His voice echoed down the corridor. Not only did Fitch hear it, but also the servants, the bodyguards—all of them heard it. “No!” Serena shouted back, equally loud.

She was a seasoned liar by now, her expression filled with anger and indignation, as if it was Martin forcing a confession from her and she were innocent.

Martin laughed, a sad, self-deprecating sound, and tears fell. “Knowing me as you do, do you think I’d ask these questions without solid evidence?”

Looking into her eyes, he asked with utter disappointment, “After everything, you still won’t tell the truth?”

“Who's been feeding you these lies?” Serena gambled, convinced Martin was trying to trap her. Her eyes reddened as she insisted, “Do you believe strangers over me?”

Martin’s laugh was even more bitter. Before, he’d been fooled by that pitiful, wronged facade of hers. Mistakenly thinking she was pure, innocent.

“What am | to you? Someone to get engaged or disengaged with at your whim? Have you ever considered my feelings?” Serena finally lashed out.

“And what about my feelings? Have you ever cared, ever? You knew my mother had a heart condition, yet you had someone push her down the stairs.” Martin's voice was laced with agony as he accused, “You caused a car accident trying to kill my sister. If it weren’t for her luck, would she even have a chance to be in there, fighting for her life? You caused an accident, implicating an innocent driver. This is murder—you tried to take three lives, just to vent your own frustrations, how can you be so cruel? Are you really Serena? | don’t even recognize you anymore.”

Serena, watching Martin break down, felt a twinge of guilt and unease. Did he know everything? Who could have told him?
