Author’s POV

The Ford Mansion lit up in cherry festivities that evening. Hannah sat quietly in front of her dressing mirror, lost in thoughts.

The party had already started downstairs in the grand decorated hall of the mansion, and still, she did not know what the occasion was.

But one thing she was sure of was that tonight was more than a celebration; it was a stage, and everyone would be watching, especially Ethan.

In the midst of everything happening, her mind still lingered on Ethan’s call, trying to figure out who was on the other end of the line.

“Who is it?” Hannah asked anxiously, thinking that it could be Ethan.

“It’s Reginald, Mrs. Ford.” The man answered softly.

“Come in,” Hannah replied and turned to face the door.

The door slowly opened and Reginald walked into the room, wearing a neat black tux.

As soon as he saw her, he froze in place,

    Author’s POVHannah stared at the lady for some moment, stunned by her beauty.She wore a brown sequin dress that highlighted her curves, accentuating her golden blonde hair and moon-shaped face.“I’m sorry for bursting in here like this, I didn’t think there’d be anyone in here.” The lady quickly apologized.Still, Hannah remained quiet, unsure of what to say.Seeing the perplexed look on Hannah’s face, she quickly strode forward, placing her hand on her chest gently,“I’m Julienne.” She said, looking at Hannah keenly, and slowly her eyes widened in surprise.“You must be Hannah.” Hannah seemed even more confused at this point, and dropped the necklace,“How do you know my name?” She asked with a curious gaze.Julienne smiled and stepped closer to her, her fingers tracing the diamond necklace,“Ethan always goes all out, doesn’t he?” Hannah ignored her questions, creasing her brows impatiently,“Who are you? And what are you doing here?” She asked, her voice more firm.“I’m Julienn

I can help you find her.” He said vaguely.Immediately Hannah heard those words, the air left her lungs. She hadn’t expected this, not tonight, especially from a stranger at her own party. However, she could not help but feel she had seen this man somewhere else before. “How do you know my sister?” She asked quietly, glancing around to make sure she wasn’t noticed by Ethan.The man chuckled softly, “That’s not important right now. What matters is that I can help you, but it won’t come cheap.” Hannah’s mind spun. The news all felt so shocking to her right now.After years of hunting, strategizing, and making unlikely connections, she finally had a lead on Lily.But

There was a brief silence on the other end for a moment, and then a calm yet cold voice spoke. “Lily,” the man said softly, his tone dripping with satisfaction. “Did you really think you could hide from me forever?” Lily’s breath caught in her throat. She tried to speak but couldn’t form words. Her throat felt dry, and her heart raced. “Wh-what do you want?” She stuttered.The man laughed bitterly. “What I’ve always wanted, Lily,” he said. “The money you stole from me.” “I don’t have it,” Lily said quickly, her voice trembling. “I don’t have your money anymore.” The man’s tone hardened. “Well, that’s unfortunate,” he said. “Alfred won’t like hearing t
