Edward’s words sliced through the air like a blade.

“If I ever find out you had anything to do with Mrs. Kim’s death, I will send you to jail myself.”

Then, without another word, he turned and walked out, leaving Margaret standing there, frozen.

Her fingers clenched around the black envelope, her pulse hammering against her skin.

He knew.

He knew about Emma’s mother.

He knew about Sienna.

And now, he was watching her.

Margaret’s throat tightened as she turned on her heels, storming out of Edward’s study. Her heels clicked against the marble floor, but her mind was a chaotic mess.

She needed to think.

She needed to fix this.

Margaret slammed the door shut behind her and immediately started pacing.

“No. No, no, no. This isn’t happening,” she muttered under her breath.

Her hands trembled as she reached for her glass of wine, gulping it down in one desperate sip. But even the warmth of the alcohol couldn’t steady her.

“Emma survived.”

She had seen the reports herself. Emma was supposed to

    EMMA“Margaret, stay away from my friend Sienna.” My voice was even, but my hands were shaking.Margaret smirked. “Your friend who betrayed you?” Her tone dripped with mockery. “Your friend who told me all your secrets? Or did you think I just magically found out?”I stiffened.Margaret stepped closer, lowering her voice to a whisper. “How do you think I knew about your trauma? About your leukemia? You’re dying, Emma. And your precious friend Sienna made sure of it.”My heart pounded.Margaret let out a slow, satisfied chuckle. “Your medication was switched, dear. Replaced by your darling friend. And yet, you still trust her?”My breath caught in my throat.I turned to Sienna, searching for any sign that Margaret was lying. But Sienna wouldn’t meet my eyes.“Margaret, you killed my mother.” My voice came out in a whisper.Margaret tilted her head, feigning innocence. “Did I?”I clenched my fists. “Stop playing games.”She smiled. “Fine even if you knew I killed your mother you can nev

    EMMAMy heart stopped.Everything blurred. My knees buckled, and before I could hit the ground, strong arms caught me.Kian.I wasn’t unconscious—I could still hear, still feel. But my body refused to move. My breath came in shallow gasps, my fingers gripping his shirt like it was the only thing keeping me from falling apart.He lifted me effortlessly, holding me close. I felt how tense he was, the way his muscles locked, like he was barely holding himself together.Behind us, Sylvia scoffed. “Oh, please. She’s being dramatic.”Rage sparked in me, but before I could react, Kian’s voice cut through the air, sharp as a blade.“Shut up, Sylvia. Get the hell out of here.”His tone was so lethal that even she took a step back.Her eyes widened. “Kian—”Kian’s gaze turned to her in anger. “If you can’t help, then get out of my sight.” Sylvia’s expression twisted with fury. “I’m pregnant, Kian! Stop yelling at me!”Her voice rang through the mansion, but Kian didn’t even flinch. His grip on

    EMMAMy breath hitched.He turned toward me, his expression raw, vulnerable. “I don’t give a fuck about anything else. But this? If this is true…” His throat bobbed, his hands flexing. “Then what the hell are we supposed to do?”I had no answer.I could only stare at him, my own heart breaking at the sight of him unraveling in front of me.Kian never broke. He was always controlled, always in charge. But now, sitting in this car with me, he looked… lost.And it destroyed me.I sucked in a sharp breath. “We need to find out the truth.”His eyes darkened. “And if it’s true?”I hesitated. “Then we end this.”Kian’s entire body tensed.He looked at me like I had just stabbed him straight in the chest. Like I had ripped his heart out and crushed it in my hands.Then, without a word, he put the car in drive.And we sped off toward the Wilson mansion.WILSON MANSIONThe moment Kian slammed the car door shut, the entire household seemed to tense.The butler hesitated before bowing slightly. “

And you sat there, playing games with us. You let us destroy ourselves.”Margaret sighed. “Better you find out now than when it’s too late.”“Too late?” I laughed bitterly, my hands trembling. “Too late? What the fuck do you think has been happening? We’ve already crossed the line! There is no fixing this!”Margaret’s lips curled into a knowing smile. “You really want to know why I did all this?”Something about her tone made my stomach turn.I took a shaky breath. “Just say it.”Margaret lifted her teacup again, t

    EMMALucas pulled the car to a stop in front of Sienna’s house. The silence between us stretched, thick with everything we had just discovered.For a long moment, neither of us moved. Then, Lucas exhaled, rubbing his temple before stepping out of the car. He walked around, opened my door, and held out his hand.I hesitated before placing my hand in his. His grip was firm, steady, grounding me in a way I hadn’t even realized I needed.“I’m sorry this had to happen,” he said, his voice low.I forced a small smile. “Lucas, your mother was right. You shouldn’t even associate with me. We’re half-siblings. We’ve all crossed the line, but it wasn’t our fault. It was the family’s mistake, not ours. We shouldn’t be enemies.”Something flickered in his eyes. Relief? Guilt? I wasn’t sure.“Thank you,” he said softly. Then, after a pause, “Since we’re family, why don’t you move back in?”I let out a breathy chuckle, shaking my head. “No, thank you. I’m okay.” Then I frowned. “I haven’t seen Grand

    EMMA“Emma,” she sighed, stepping closer. “Margaret already knows this. And if she hasn’t acted yet, she will soon. You have something she wants—control. If you don’t fight back, she will take it from you.”I hugged myself, my nails digging into my skin.“I have the password,” I muttered. “And I changed it.”Hailey smiled. “Good. But do you really think that will stop her?”My stomach twisted.“She will forcefully get it from you,” Hailey continued. “Or worse, she will take someone you care about and make you talk.”A shiver ran down my spine.“Emma,” Hailey’s voice softened. “To survive, you have to be heartless. If not for yourself, do it for those who lost their lives trying to tell you the truth. Mrs. Kim. Your mother. Don’t let their deaths be in vain.”I inhaled sharply, trying to steady myself.“You have my number,” Hailey said, stepping back toward her car. “Call me when you’re ready.”She slid into the black vehicle and drove off, leaving me standing in the blistering heat, m

    Mark’s grip on the desk tightened as he stared at Kian. “You’re telling me you won’t even run a DNA test?”Kian exhaled sharply. “It’s not important anymore. The picture is enough.”Mark’s jaw clenched. “That’s bullshit, and you know it.”Kian’s lips curled into a bitter smile. “Even if I took the test, would it change anything?”Mark scoffed. “Yeah, it would. Maybe it would prove that Margaret is lying. Maybe it would prove you’re not a complete fucking coward for believing everything she tells you.”Kian’s eyes darkened. “Watch it, Mark.”Mark shook his head. “No. You watch it. Because Emma’s out there, alone, thinking the man she loved just erased their entire history with one damn photo.”Kian stiffened.Mark’s voice dropped. “Do you know what you did to her?”Kian looked away.Mark’s hands slammed onto the desk. “Look at me, Kian.”Kian’s fingers curled into fists, but he lifted his gaze.“She lost everything,” Mark said, his voice laced with quiet fury. “Her child.

    EMMAThe tension in the air was suffocating. Margaret’s gaze burned into me, her perfectly manicured fingers gripping the handle of her designer bag a little too tightly. Sylvia, standing beside her, had a smirk playing at the corner of her lips, enjoying the moment far too much.Mrs. Hailey stepped slightly in front of me, a quiet but unmistakable act of protection.Margaret’s voice was like silk wrapped around a blade. “What an interesting sight. The largest shareholder of E&J personally accompanied by a maid’s daughter on a shopping trip.”Sylvia clicked her tongue, crossing her arms. “Makes you wonder what kind of spell this little nobody has cast to get such powerful people wrapped around her finger.”I took a step forward, unbothered. “Careful, Sylvia. Keep talking like that, and people might think you’re jealous.”Sylvia scoffed. “Jealous? Of you?” She let out a sharp laugh, tossing her hair over her shoulder. “Kian is my husband, Emma. I already won.”My lips curled slightly.

    EMMA“It was Kian,” Hailey whispered as the door creaked wider and the footsteps stopped just outside the study.I stepped forward slowly, heart thudding, and sure enough—there he was.Kian.He looked just as shocked to see me as I was to see him.His hand still gripped the brass doorknob. His eyes flicked from me to Hailey, then to the folder half-hidden beneath my coat.“What are you doing in here?” he asked.I didn’t answer immediately. Instead, I squared my shoulders and asked, “Why are you in here?”He blinked. “I should be asking you the same thing.”“No,” I said, voice firm. “You shouldn’t. Because I do have a reason.”Kian’s jaw tightened. “Emma… you know you’re not supposed to be in this part of the house.”“And neither are you,” I replied coldly. “But here we are.”A moment of heavy silence passed.“I’m leaving now,” I said sharply and turned to go, feeling the weight of his stare boring into my back.“This is suspicious,” Hailey muttered as we moved down the corridor.I did

    EMMASelena looked like she wanted to protest—but she didn’t.“Who would have the power to pull that off?” I asked. “The access? The money? The motive?”She didn’t answer.Selena’s eyes dropped to the floor.My blood ran cold.“You’re thinking of someone.”“I’m thinking of too many people,” she said tightly. “You don’t understand how many enemies your father had, Emma. Not all of them wore a suit and smiled at you in boardrooms. Some were buried deep inside the family. Inside E&J.”I swallowed. “Is that why Edward never told me the truth? Because the truth would tear the company apart?”Selena didn’t answer.“I need to know,” I said. “I need everything. Files. Names. Contacts. I’m going to find out who did this. And when I do, I don’t care who falls with them.”Selena studied me for a moment. Then she gave a single nod. “Okay.”“Okay?”“I’ll help you,” she said. “But you have to promise me something.”“What?”“That you don’t go after anyone until you know for sure. Don’t throw accusat

    EMMA“You were with him when it happened?” Kian’s voice broke through the silence, low and strained.We were all gathered in the hallway outside Edward’s room. The paramedics had left. The doctors had confirmed what we already knew. Edward Smith, the patriarch of E&J Empire, was gone.Hailey stood by the wall, arms folded across her chest, jaw clenched tight. “Yes,” she answered finally, her voice barely audible. “He collapsed in front of me.”Lucas ran both hands through his hair and leaned back against the opposite wall. “And he said something before he died?”I nodded. “He said it wasn’t Margaret who killed my father.”Silence dropped again. Sylvia shifted uneasily beside Lucas. “What does that mean?” she asked, but there was no curiosity in her voice—only fear.Hailey looked at me then. “Did he say who did?”“No.” My voice cracked. “He never got the chance.”Kian’s eyes were dark, unreadable. “This can’t be real. We just—he was fine yesterday.”“No, he wasn’t,” Hailey cut in. “He’s

    EMMA“This is E&J Empire,” Margaret scoffed, rising to her feet, her voice slicing through the room like a blade. “My husband Smith’s company. What the hell are you talking about?” She turned sharply toward Daniel. “Now that he’s dead, you all think you can throw me out like trash?”“Let them finish, Margaret,” I said, my voice calm even though my chest burned with the urge to scream.Her eyes flared with rage. “No. This is wrong from the beginning. Me? Stepping down from my husband’s company? Hell no. Aside from being president, I also hold the largest secret shareholding. You can’t just erase me.”“Are you talking about me?” a crisp, confident voice rang out from the doorway.I turned toward the sound and saw Hailey enter, poised and composed as ever.Margaret blinked, visibly thrown. “What?”“Oh, not me directly,” Hailey replied, her lips curling into a knowing smile. She gestured toward the hallway. “My personal assistant, Fiona?”A woman stepped in—elegant, poised, unreadable. Fi

    EMMAGrandfather’s words hit me like a tidal wave. Kian wasn’t part of the Wilson bloodline. Neither was Lucas. The truth of my family was unraveling before my eyes, each new piece of information more incomprehensible than the last.“But… how? How is this possible?” I whispered, my voice barely audible as the weight of the revelation crashed over me.Edward’s frail hand tightened around mine. “It’s all because of Margaret. She killed your mother… She murdered Joel and Smith. She played us all for fools.”My breath caught in my throat. “Margaret… she killed my father?”Edward nodded solemnly, his face a portrait of exhaustion and regret. “Yes. And Lucas isn’t even your brother. He’s Smith’s son, not Joel’s. Kian is… well, he is Smith’s son too. Hailey’s son.”The words didn’t register at first. My mind felt like it was being twisted, turned inside out. “Hailey? But how could—”“Hailey had her reasons,” Edward interrupted, his voice growing weaker but urgent. “She wanted revenge on Marg

    EMMAJust as Sylvia was about to lash out, the door to the hospital room opened with a sudden creak, freezing everyone in place. The doctor’s voice was calm but firm. “Who is Miss Emma?”The tension in the room spiked, and for a moment, time seemed to stand still. Hailey, her smile stretched unnervingly wide, pushed me forward, her fingers cold against my arm. “Here she is.”I hesitated but stepped forward, the knot in my stomach tightening. “Yes, me,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady, though the weight of all their eyes on me made it hard to breathe.The doctor didn’t acknowledge the others. “Grandfather wants to speak with you,” he said, turning to me with an air of urgency.Margaret, quick as ever, yanked my arm back with surprising force. “It’s only right I go in first. After all, I’m his daughter in law,” she snapped, her voice cutting through the stillness.“No, he said Miss Emma,” the doctor replied sharply, his eyes narrowing. “I heard him clearly, Mrs. Margaret. I’m not

    EMMAI could feel the tension in the air as I looked at Hailey, her expression a mix of feigned innocence and something more… calculating. She had a way of downplaying things, always brushing off suspicions with a light-hearted joke, but something about the way she looked at me now felt off. Her smile was too wide, her eyes too bright. I knew her well enough to recognize when she was hiding something.“Hailey, that joke—” I began, my voice barely more than a whisper, but she quickly cut me off with a dismissive wave.“Oh, Emma, don’t take it so seriously,” she said, her tone light but there was a sharpness beneath it that made me pause. “Margaret and Sylvia are just… they don’t know how to have fun.”I didn’t know whether to trust her words or to feel that nagging sense of unease creeping in. But before I could say anything more, the urge to find Grandfather Edward overpowered all other thoughts. I needed to see him, to make sure he knew I was there, that I belonged, that today was my

    EMMA“Are you really leaving?” Sienna asked, her voice barely above a whisper.I nodded, “This is my only chance, since today is Grandfather Edward’s birthday.”“Did he invite you?” Sienna asked.I shook my head quickly, the urgency thick in the air. “No. He doesn’t even know I’m here. But today, he might. Today, I have to make my move, I can’t be chased out because everyone already knows that I am a Wilson.”Sienna’s eyes narrowed, a mix of concern and disbelief crossing her features. “Emma, this is dangerous. You can’t just—”“I don’t have a choice,” I interrupted, the weight of my decision crashing down harder with every passing second. “If I don’t do this now, I might never get another chance.”I turned to face her, my voice low, almost a whisper. “You know what magaret did, right? The things they all did. I’ve waited for years. This—this is for me. For everyone, we can’t continue to be kept in the dark.”Sienna swallowed, her lips trembling as she looked away. “I know.

    Selena stared at her phone, watching Emma and Mrs. Hailey leave her office. She waited until they were out of earshot before dialing Kian’s number. The phone rang twice before he answered.“Kian, it’s Selena,” she said, her voice low but urgent.“Selena,” Kian’s voice was tired, distant. “What’s going on?”“Emma came to ask about her mother’s case,” Selena began, her words measured. “She found out the truth, Kian. It was Margaret who did it. She knows everything.”Kian’s breath caught on the other end. A long silence stretched between them. “I never wanted her to find out. I’ve been covering for my mother all this time.”“I know,” Selena said softly. “But now she’s asking for a DNA test. She wants to know the truth.”Kian’s heart sank. “On who?”“Lucas,” Selena answered. “She’s going to test him.”Kian exhaled sharply, his mind racing. “So, she chose Lucas.”“Yes,” Selena said, her voice a little softer. “She’s chosen him over you. This is serious, Kian. If she finds out, she won’t fo
