At Rivas Psychiatric hospital

The Rivas had a sole psychiatric hospital on the outskirts of Mocon. It was vast and spread in acres for the treatment of different kinds of people needing psychiatric help and drug addicts.

Since the Rivas chain of the hospital is widely spread and has a high quality of treatment, hardly any other hospital survived in Mocon. Rivas acquired many hospitals making them a subsidiary. So excluding the small scale hospitals or clinics, every large and well-known hospitals are under Rivas Hospitals and Industries.

Whereas Rivas Psychiatric hospital is the only hospital around five cities for the treatment of patients who needs psychiatric treatment and the rehabilitation center.

All the places which are under Rivas Industries, Aarvi had to just display a card that Aaron had given her. It is a privilege card and nobody would dare to stop or question her for whatever she does. She had the all power which Aaron or any Rivas family member has.

The best part of it is, she doesn't have to reveal her identity to anybody and nobody would dare to reveal any information about her. The places that belong to Rivas Industries or Skylar, The bodyguards in shadow, always cleared the digital proof from every place she goes.

Aarvi walked holding her bag followed by the chief of the center who guided her personally to the Grace Wells room reporting that the latter is completely fine other than crying in the night repeating a name, 'Ava'.

Taking in a deep breath Aarvi observed inside a room which had good light, fresh air. The room was completely equipped with all the amenities with an attached ensuite. It looked more like a seven-star hotel than the rehab center room. Depending on what the patient family could afford, Rivas had many levels of accommodation.

Aarvi's current game is to succeed in destroying the common sense of Grace Wells and snatch her ability to think straight. She actually hadn't thought of bothering the Hays family so soon but Vance Hays brought the destruction on himself quickly. historical

By the end she leaves the hospital, she wanted to hear Ebony losing from Hays's hands and Grace shifting to a psychiatric center from the rehab. She just hoped her plan doesn't affect herself emotionally.

"Chief Sumar, I will handle it from here. You carry on with your work. Thank you." Aarvi's polite voice sounded respecting the man's age, experience, and his cordial treatment.

The chief nodded his head and was amused by her composure and calmness which didn't match her age at all. He motioned his hand for her to enter and closed the door before sitting at the side where chairs were present.

Aarvi is considered as a family member of Rivas and he felt it's his duty to serve them Hence he waited for her outside so that he could supervise her if she needed anything else.

Inside the room.

Aarvi saw Grace sleeping peacefully after lunch. A wicked lopsided smile appeared on her face for an exciting game to begin. Placing her handbag behind the couch, she carefully and gently touched the sclera of her both the eyes.

Her eyes turned red in no time and filled up. waiting for her tears to fall, she used water to get the tear stain on her cheeks. She slumped on the floor as if somebody pushed her to the ground and started sobbing.

To get the real expression, she quickly engrossed herself in the role and her sobs became louder to wake up the beauty from the sleep.

Grace groaned for disturbing her sleep and apprehended somebody is crying but 'why will anybody cry in my room?' she opened her eyes and it widened instantly.

'Thump' Her first reaction was to back away from Aarvi's side and she fell down from the bed.

She wanted to scream and call for help but was scared to get her attention. She peeked up from the bed to see Ava Kelly.

Aarvi's face was flushed, her chin was quivering vigorously, lips were curled down with the lower lip pushing up trying to cover the parted distance between the lips as if she was in deep unbearable pain.

The tears were flowing abundantly from the eyes which were squeezed shut. Her eyebrows were puckered and there were creases on her forehead.

Grace felt her heartache seeing Ava in so much pain. Ava looked hopeless and completely broken evoking empathy for her. Grace could literally feel Ava's pain and her eyes filled up. "Ava" A word escaped her lips without her knowing.

Grace subconsciously went and embraced Ava, "Shhh, don't cry... Why are you still so soft and innocent? Did anybody hurt you?" Grace caressed her head to calm her.

A few seconds passed, Aarvi continued to cry as a fragile lady and Grace came out of her daze feeling something wasn't right. She jerked back and started trembling, 'how could Ava be alive if Vance had seen her dead. If she is Ava, what is she doing here?'

'Why am I so concerned about her?' Grace thought to herself feeling her heartache without knowing the girl opposite to her is giving an extraordinary remarkable performance melting her heart, removing her vileness.

Grace was so absorbed looking at Ava crying so pitifully that drops of tears slipped off from her eyes and squealed, "Why are you crying?"

Aarvi gradually controlled her tears and sniffled looking at Grace's lovely face. The same face that hid all her evil plots just because Ava Kelly had rich parents so she got a handsome man to marry. Now Aarvi would puke if anybody says Vance as handsome.

Aarvi stammered between her sobs, "Gra- Grace... Van... Vance ditched me. He didn't com... come to the wedding yes- yesterday."

'Yesterday?' Grace's eyes widened in shock. She couldn't maintain herself from asking, "Ava, what is today's date?"

Aarvi sniffled wiping her cheeks clumsily, "You- why do you forget dates? It's 11 May 20xx." Grace froze hearing it. She placed her palms one above the other on her lips to avoid letting out her bewilder in any form of words.

It was three years three months earlier and that time Ava didn't know anything about Grace misdeeds yet. She assumed herself as Aarvi forgot whatever happened and somebody must have saved her. She might have remembered a little part and found her first.

Now all she has to do is remind some people that Ava Kelly is alive and ask them to end her life to be safe from any problems in the future if Ava remembers everything later. She raised her head thinking to ask where she stays but Ava was nowhere in sight.

Grace paled, 'Did I dream everything?' She was flabbergasted how real her dream was. She stood up and went back to bed thinking she fell from the bed and woke up from the dream.

---

Outside the room, the Chief who heard the cry peeked in the room without his control to see the lady crying and Grace dropping her tears. He was curious but didn't dare to enter inside or disturb them.

---

Aarvi quickly washed her face in the ensuite and put on an innocent cheerful look removing her lipstick. The perfect Ava Kelly look she achieved in no time but she didn't enter the room so soon. She waited till Grace fell asleep.

Aarvi had thought Grace might take time but she was off to dreamland quickly by looking at her steady breathing.

--- Role 2 ---

"Grace... Grace... Get up. You sleeping pig, how can you forget our shopping and movie plan? Wake up, Grace." Her voice was full of warmth and friendly as if she was there to wake up her best friend.

Grace who woke up didn't dare to open her eyes thinking she is dreaming again. Aarvi smirked seeing her brows tremble and her eyeballs move under her eyelids. Aarvi started whining, shaking Grace on the bed as she stretched each word, "Graaaaccce... I am bored... Didn't you tell me that we will shop unlimited? Wake up..."

Grace opened her eyes thinking now Aarvi is in six years back. She decided to scream if she wasn't dreaming or if Ava was there to stab her to death. But she chuckled looking at Ava pouting in annoyance and then brightly smiled seeing her awake. "Let's go..."

That heartfelt smile never failed to bring a smile, the lower lids of Aarvi's eyes were contracted to form a beautiful crescent on her pretty gleaming face, Her head was slightly tilted and the corners of lips were unwaveringly upward.

"Ugh, are you killing me with your charm?" Those words left Grace's lips pinching Aarvi's cheeks earning a melodic chuckle.
