Keanu felt a strange familiarity with what Easton was saying. The man, introduced by Jarvey as his psychiatrist, had just mentioned Dhira Louise, a woman who had always claimed never to have been married.

Not only that, but a few days ago, if he remembered correctly, he had overheard Karletta mention Dhira Louise and her fiancé, but it wasn’t Easton’s name that she had mentioned. Keanu’s focus shifted, and now many questions began to swirl in his mind, especially when Easton said this man had once thrown something at Keanu’s father during a court hearing long ago.

“You know my father?” Keanu asked.

Easton shook his head. “I don’t know him at all, but he was famous, so a lot of people knew him. I’m sure anyone who lived at that time and knows your name would—”

“That’s enough, Easton!” Lando interrupted. “It’s not our place to tell him what happened to his parents in the past.”

“Why not? He’s my father! I have a right to know.”

Easton chuckled mischievously, a habit he’d had for as long

    Karletta gazed at the woman, weak and hunched beneath the floor of a house no longer fit to live in. Her face showed regret as she approached the sleeping woman and placed a plate of food and a bottle of water beside her. After that, she left and returned to her room.Pity. That was the only word that came to Karletta's mind whenever she saw her. It was the first time she had witnessed someone she deeply trusted in her life mercilessly torturing and killing others.Karletta rebelled against it, but she had no choice but to save herself. She eventually returned to the kitchen, turned on the faucet, and cleaned the dishes. She wasn't sure her cooking tasted good, but seeing the woman earlier, she couldn't bear to give her something to eat.Potato skins, parsley stems, and onion peels were thrown into the trash. Meanwhile, some kitchen utensils were scrubbed harshly with a coarse brush because she had burned the surface of a few items.Unknowingly, tears began to flow down Karletta's che

    Keanu, Liam, and Dhira arrived in front of an abandoned house that Dhira had never wanted to visit since the incident where she was mentally and physically tortured there 23 years ago. Returning to this place, which could no longer even be called a home, would only reopen old wounds in her memory.Though Dhira had forgiven her past, she was only human, still holding onto her life's good and bad memories. The woman took a deep breath, observing the house where Keenan Hart was last trapped and arrested.Liam noticed something and was equally shocked when his foot touched the ground. No wonder Dhira had only brought him here. The couple would have erupted in anger if Catherine or Svarga had been present."This... Are you trying to show me the house—" Liam's words were cut off when Dhira suddenly began sobbing quietly.The woman then turned, her eyes shifting back and forth between Liam and Keanu. "Yes, this is Keanu's parents' house from 23 years ago."Les Halles was a city that created

    Precisely at one in the morning, Liam dropped Keanu off at Svarga and Catherine's residence. Keanu felt safer staying at their house, even though Liam had already offered to take him home to keep Arsila company."Are you sure?" Liam asked once more before Keanu opened the car door.Keanu just nodded, his face downcast, pretending to be sleepy. After that, Keanu exited the car and strolled toward the front door. He didn't know if he would be welcomed here again, but there were many things he wanted to say to Catherine or Svarga.The door opened, and a housemaid invited Keanu in, offering him warm tea. Keanu declined and instead asked whether Catherine and Svarga were already asleep."Madam Catherine usually sleeps earlier, but Master Svarga might still be in his study," the housemaid replied."May I go there? Can you take me?" Keanu asked cautiously."Of course." The housemaid, who had already removed her uniform, led Keanu to the door of Svarga's study. She knocked and spoke from outs

    "But she's my mother, Charlotte..." Karletta raised her voice."Mother? What kind of mother makes her child suffer like this? She killed someone, Karletta! YOU SAW WITH YOUR OWN EYES THAT SHE KILLED SOMEONE ELSE!" Charlotte shouted, full of emotion.Karletta hugged her knees tighter, crying while thinking about Charlotte's words, which were indeed true.She... Arsila Gistara was the former convict who had always been called 'mother' by Karletta and Keanu. A woman obsessed with the destruction of the Svarga family, using her children to get close to Charlotte and slowly eliminate her."Why are you staying silent? She killed someone else, she kidnapped and held me captive here with you. If she really loved you, she should have let you go free...""... you shouldn't have to live in fear when the man who shared your bed that night was killed just like that. You had no other choice but to keep quiet and turn a blind eye to your mother's crimes, right?""How long are you going to protect he

    Arsila is still not allowed to be visited by anyone; her status is now that of a suspect, and further investigation is needed to uncover other motives behind her actions."Are you okay?" Catherine asked the man who had been silent ever since learning that his mother had been captured.Keanu didn't respond, only looking at Catherine with reluctance before shifting his seat to move further away from her."I understand how you feel, but I'm also just a mother worried about her daughter. I would be extremely appreciative if your mother didn't exact her retribution on my child if she had any empathy at all.""She's my mother, and I've never experienced what it's like to feel concerned about me.You should talk to Karletta; she was always more loved and more important to my mother," Keanu replied.Catherine sighed, feeling like she wanted to cry. In this case, Karletta and Keanu were also victims of their mother's selfishness and the false stories she had fed them. Keanu even admitted that,

    "Where are they?" Arsila asked coldly, addressing the frail woman who had come to meet her behind the prison bars.Ester slightly lowered the glasses perched on the bridge of her nose, gazing at Arsila with pity. "They didn't come," she replied briefly."YOU MUST HAVE FORBIDDEN ME FROM SEEING THEM, RIGHT?!" Arsila shouted angrily.Ester took a deep breath. This wasn't the first time Arsila had spoken harshly or acted rudely toward her. Ester never got angry; the fire shouldn't be met with fire for her. Ester would always be the one to cool the situation. "Keanu himself refused. He's the one who's not ready to meet you," Ester said honestly.Arsila sneered contemptuously. "You've poisoned their minds, Ester! I regret ever trusting you with them!"Ester didn't understand why Arsila hated how she had dedicated herself to caring for and raising Keanu and Karletta since they were babies."I'm struggling to connect with my own children. They often reject me and remember you more! I gave bir

    A correctional officer informed that Arsila had attempted suicide, her body covered in blood against one of the prison bars. The woman was raging, screaming Keanu and Karletta's names repeatedly while crying. According to one of the supervisors, Arsila once wrote a letter about her innermost thoughts, where she penned a small sentence about how she wanted to be the perfect mother for Keanu.Arsila had once been troubled, wondering whether she should abandon Karletta or continue to raise her. She experienced inner turmoil over her grudge against Shena for taking her husband in the past. However, when she saw Karletta, who was just a baby then, a sense of pity washed over her. Arsila treated the daughter of her husband and Shena as her child.Arsila also wanted to be the perfect mother for Keanu and celebrate everything about her biological son. But another sentence revealed that Arsila still blamed Catherine and Svarga for what had happened to her.Arsila was never aware of all her mis

    Jarvey tried to recall, as there were many sensitive confessions Keanu had made to Svarga at that time. Keanu admitted his guilt as the son of a criminal, but he pleaded for forgiveness for being born from the wrong womb."Keanu just wanted to be forgiven... he apologized for being the son of a man who once hurt your mother's feelings in the past," Jarvey said, causing Charlotte to freeze like the ice cream she was devouring.Jarvey began the story: On the afternoon before Arsila's arrest, Keanu sat down with Svarga to make a confession that weighed heavily on his conscience. Keanu nearly broke down in tears before speaking, his body trembling, and sweat dripped from his forehead despite the cool weather that day.Keanu shared things that had tormented him as a child ever since Arsila's return. Keanu and Karletta, who longed for their parents' love, had been blinded by the sad stories Arsila had told them. They were angry after Arsila claimed that the Chandra and Oweis families were r

    After three days of being hospitalized, Keanu was allowed to go home. The doctor also provided several therapy schedules to ensure he received optimal care until his shoulder was fully healed.As for the house gifted to him, Charlotte and Jarvey gave Keanu a house in Les Halles and another to Karletta in Louvre so she could be closer to Glass Glory for her work.On Charlotte’s advice, Devon accepted Keanu as his business partner. He had known Keanu for a long time and recognized his integrity and outstanding intelligence.“My heart is pounding,” said Karletta as she helped Keanu button up his jacket.“Why?”“Tomorrow is my first day as a grade A trainee at Glass Glory. I thought Mrs. Catherine would put me in grade C with the other newcomers. I didn’t expect her to assess my performance and all the awards I’ve received,” Karletta said.“That means you’ll debut faster, right?” Keanu asked.“Exactly, which is why my heart is racing. But what makes it beat the fastest is… Mrs. Catherine

    Svarga visited Keanu after Easton mentioned that Keanu was awake and ready for visitors. Svarga's smile made Keanu lower his head, and he felt embarrassed in his presence."I thought you'd be asleep again," Svarga said. "How are you feeling now? Did Easton mess with your head after talking to him?"Keanu nodded. "A little. He almost confused me."Svarga didn't press further. "Charlotte and Jarvey will visit you this afternoon. They had to go to the police station to settle some matters from last night.""Will Emily be imprisoned?" Keanu asked, lifting his head slightly."With all the evidence you provided, it's inevitable. Emily and her family will face punishment in the Netherlands, not in this country," Svarga replied.Keanu sighed with relief. "I thought they might use their power to cover up their crimes.""It's not simple, son. You have given us a lot of information, much of which we don't even know. The evidence you presented shows there were many flaws they were trying to hide,

    Keanu slowly opened his eyes. He had just woken up after eight hours, his first time regaining consciousness since the operation. His gaze immediately shifted toward the window, where he saw Devon and Karletta talking with their arms crossed.Keanu smiled softly, straightening his body, which felt sore and painfully stiff. The sound of the creaking bed drew Devon and Karletta's attention toward him. They both rushed to his side, their faces beaming with relief because Keanu was finally awake."Hey," Karletta greeted as she wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye.Devon adjusted the bed's headrest to a 45-degree angle to make Keanu more comfortable. "Should I call the doctor?""No need. I'm fine," Keanu replied. "I just want something to drink."Karletta quickly grabbed a water bottle and handed it to her older brother. "I've heard everything. How are you feeling now? I've been avoiding a lot of people outside asking about your condition. Thankfully, Mrs. Catherine has been watchi

    "HEY!" Jarvey shouted a bit loudly. "YOU'RE AWAKE?!""Annoying...." Keanu replied, then shifted his aching body. "Ah, this is such a hassle." The man slowly opened his eyes and looked at his shoulder wrapped in thick bandages.Charlotte stood tall, her eyes shining with tears streaming down her face. She pressed the emergency button, and shortly after, a doctor and a nurse entered the room."KEANU IS AWAKE!" Charlotte shouted excitedly, then she and Jarvey were asked to leave the room at the doctor’s request.Outside, Catherine, observing them all along, smiled with satisfaction, relieved that Keanu had finally opened his eyes after hours of sleeping post-surgery."Mama, you were right! Keanu is so strong. Look, he's awake now!" Charlotte exclaimed.Catherine hugged Charlotte back, tears in her eyes, too, eager for the doctor to let them see Keanu.After 15 minutes of examination, the doctor permitted them to enter but on the condition that they be quiet, as the effects of the anesthe

    Emily and her parents were taken into custody by the police, and their case will be forwarded to a Dutch court. Today, they are being held in detention and waiting to be collected. They have been stripped out of these clothes and put into detention uniforms, each in an isolated cell — comparatively more comfortable than those where other detainees are lodged.Lucius instructed some colleagues to stand guard until the Dutch legal team arrived for mediation. "I have to go and check on the other guests. Some people being questioned have confessed that they were paid by Emily to support their engagement event and to prepare the plans they had in place if the event had gone successfully."Lucius then said they were all still planning on setting Noah up to ruin his career as well, and he wanted Lucius there in case something went south with being able to pin a significant failing of Noah's that goes right back around through him onto Emily’s parents.“Liam, you take him, and the rest of us

    Everyone screamed hysterically, including Charlotte, who instinctively shouted and hugged the person protecting her."KEANU!" Charlotte's voice trembled violently, one hand pressed against the blood gushing from Keanu's shoulder.Charlotte cried almost hysterically, calling out for anyone who would help. People rushed over to her; some hurriedly called for an ambulance while Lucius moved Keanu's body to a chair, using the thick fabric of his coat to cover the bleeding.The Chandra family guards restrained Emily, preventing her from escaping, and blocked access to ensure none of her accomplices could flee. About ten minutes later, the ambulance arrived, and Keanu was quickly rushed to the hospital.Charlotte, overwhelmed with emotion, held back sobs as she glared at Emily, her blood-stained hand pointing at her without saying a word, making Emily utterly terrified.Charlotte's gaze then shifted to Emily's parents, filled with an unbearable grudge, before she spoke, "I will make your da

    Emily was terrified, and so were her parents. The couple accompanying Emily knelt before Catherine, begging for forgiveness like sinners fearing the gates of hell. Their actions, however, only raised questions among everyone present—what were they hiding that caused them to be so afraid?But Emily's reaction was different. She refused to beg Catherine for mercy like her parents had done. "You think you can do anything to me? I’m already engaged to Jarvey. Now ask my fiancé whom he will choose."Jarvey pulled Charlotte close, holding her hand tightly and showing everyone his answer. His actions naturally stoked Emily's fury even more."Fine, you're challenging me, huh? Then I’ll make your parents pay for everything!" Emily screamed in frustration. She grabbed Havella by the hair and dragged her away, prompting Noah to rush after his wife.Emily’s actions shocked many, including the media crew that Catherine had allowed to cover Emily’s event.The onlookers were horrified as they watche

    All eyes were on the figure in the red dress, flaunting her beautiful curves. She wore matching red gloves that only covered her palms, and a black fascinator adorned her straight, flowing hair. Charlotte embodied the definition of luxurious beauty in the eyes of the wealthy elite. She smiled kindly at those who recognized her, while some deliberately hid, not wanting to be labelled as traitors for attending and supporting Jarvey’s wedding to another woman."Miss Charlotte, it's a pleasure to meet you," a man greeted her. He was the event moderator and a businessman whose company had Svarga as an investor."Hi, Karlos. Nice to see you, too. I guess you successfully united the couple today. Where are they?" Charlotte asked, her eyes scanning for Jarvey and Emily.Karlos didn’t answer. Sweat dripped down his body, his face pale. Soon after, Jarvey came running down from the second floor, tears streaming down his face upon seeing Charlotte. He rushed toward her and embraced her tightly.

    Charlotte stood in front of the mirror, spending hours in this boutique, clearly excited despite her incredibly chaotic emotions. She could remain calm because Keanu and Devon were with her, offering comfort without hesitation.“Hey?” Devon greeted her as he entered the dressing room after the boutique staff called for him, allowing him to see Charlotte.For a moment, Devon was stunned by seeing the woman in a knee-length red dress. Charlotte had purposely chosen a bolder colour as a symbol of defiance against her heartbreak.“Devon, what do you think? Is my appearance enough? Do I look beautiful? I feel like the stitching around the waist makes me look a bit thinner,” Charlotte rambled.Devon exhaled and shook his head, feeling satisfied with Charlotte’s appearance. The undeniable aura of wealth radiated from her; Charlotte always looked luxurious in whatever she wore.“You’re beautiful,” Devon said, a simple sentence that never seemed to satisfy Charlotte.“Ah, I’m not sure.”“You’r
