Was | barking up the right tree? “I'm sure this must be surprising, seeing how | reached out to you so suddenly,” | began. “But I'm glad I reached out to you first.

Helena smiled warmly, her surprise evident on her face. “Yes, | must admit, | didn’t expect to hear from you,” she replied. “But I'm glad you did. How can | help you, Ms. Amber?” | took a deep breath, gathering my thoughts as | prepared to make my request. | needed Helena’s help.

Helena paused, her face thoughtful as she contemplated my plea. She had always been loyal to me, and | knew she understood the risks involved in accepting my request.

However, the laughter quickly subsided, replaced by genuine curiosity, as Helena suddenly mentioned overhearing Marlene and her mother speaking the day before. My interest piqued, | eagerly asked her to share what she had heard.

“Well, Miss Amber, | didn’t hear the full conversation, but | do have a feeling it could have been about you.” | tilted my head in confusion, wondering what my mother and useless sister possibly were trying to start up now.

“Tell me, Helena, what is it that you remember? What did they say?” Helena took a deep breath, her eyes searching mine. “Miss Amber, forgiveif I'm wrong, but have you, by any chance, gotten remarried?” | was taken aback by her question. | had assumed that Helena was already aware of my remarriage since it was sort of a big deal right now, but apparently, that wasn’t the case. “Yes, Helena, | have remarried,” | confirmed.

“Why do you ask?” Her gasp of surprise filled the air, and | waited impatiently for her to respond. “The reason | wasn't sure if they were talking about you yesterday is because | had no idea you had remarried,” she explained.

“Does your new husband have an Italian surname?” My heart skipped a beat, a sense of unease settling in. “Yes, he does,” | replied. “Why? What does that have to do with anything?” Once again, Helena gasped, her eyes widening in disbelief. “From what | overheard, it seems your mother and sister are planning to turn you into svillain with the help of sreporter that | heard them speaking to,” she revealed. “They were discussing accusing someone of cheating on their ex-husband with their current husband. And if my suspicions are correct, they intend to make you ou to be the bad person, while justifying their own affair.” 0 MALTA HEY SUILL, uney intend to make you out be the bad person, while justifying their own affair.” lence hung in the air as | absorbed her words.
