Chapter 7-Never letting go

I stood there, completely stunned, gazing at a woman I had never encountered before in my life.

“Wait, what?” I asked Dominic, who was glaring at Harper with a fierce intensity.

“I used to call her my sister, but after what she did to me, she’s no sister of mine. I will never see her as family again,” Harper shouted, turning on her heel and storming out of the office.

I was left standing there, more bewildered than ever. I felt paralyzed as I watched her walk away, unsure of how to respond or what to think. I didn’t understand what was happening.

I glanced at Dominic, who was still fixated on the door through which she had just exited, and it was clear they shared a complicated past.

Harper herself had acknowledged it, and the depth of her hatred for me was palpable, sending chills down my spine.

Whatever had transpired between this woman named Eve and her was clearly something dark and troubling.

I was exhausted from trying to convince this man that I wasn't his long-lost wife.
