Chapter 108 Eva’s Point of View The soft glow of the bedside lamp cast shadows on the walls of my grandmother Helena’s bedroom. It was late, far past midnight, but sleep had eluded me. I sat on the edge of her large, antique bed, my hands trembling slightly as I recounted everything that had happe
Chapter 109 Max’s Point of View The rhythmic ticking of the clock on my office wall was the only sound breaking the silence. Papers were scattered across my desk, but I couldn’t focus. My mind was restless, plagued by memories I had tried to bury for years. The past had a way of creeping back in,
Chapter 110 Max’s Point of View Marco’s words echoed in my mind, each syllable driving a nail of disbelief deeper into my chest. Eva saved me? It felt like the ground beneath me had shifted, leaving me unsteady and exposed. My fists clenched at my sides, and I stared at Marco, searching his face f
“One day, you will know the truth about what happened when we were teenagers,” she had said, her eyes locked onto mine through the bars of her cell. “And you will regret all your actions towards me.” The memory hit me like a punch to the gut, and I groaned, leaning back in my chair. She had been ri
Chapter 111: Max’s Point of View The cold air bit at my skin as I hurried out of my office, my mind racing with everything I had just learned. I had to confront Sara. I had to hear it from her own mouth, how she had manipulated me all these years, how she had twisted the truth about that day, and
Chapter 112 : Max’s Point of View I stood outside Eva’s office, my heart pounding in my chest. The cold air still clung to my skin, but it felt insignificant compared to the storm raging inside me. I had just walked away from Sara’s house, my mind reeling with everything I had learned. The lies, t
I could feel my heart breaking with each word she spoke. Her voice was steady, but I could hear the pain beneath it, the years of hurt that she had buried deep inside. And I had been the cause of all of it. “I was blind,” I whispered, my voice barely audible. “I was so blind, Eva. I couldn’t see wh
Chapter 113: Sara’s Point of View The door slammed shut behind me with a force that echoed through the empty house. My heart was still pounding in my chest, my breath coming in shallow bursts. I had never felt so exposed, so vulnerable. Max had finally seen through me, and now he knew the truth.
"To new beginnings," I whispered to my reflection, watching my smile grow wider in the darkened glass. "And to sweet, sweet revenge." The ice in my glass had melted, diluting the expensive whiskey, but I hardly noticed. In my mind, I was already rehearsing my performance at the bank, imagining Eva'
Chapter 155 Emily's Point of View The ice clinked in my glass as I swirled the amber liquid, a satisfied smile playing on my lips. The news of Williams' death still felt surreal, like a dream I might wake up from at any moment. But it wasn't a dream. We had finally succeeded. The private room at
"I..." My voice cracked. "Grandmother, Dad is..." "I know, my darling," she said, her own voice thick with emotion. "It's all over the news. Oh, my sweet girl I'm so sorry." In the background, I could hear the children playing, their innocent laughter a stark contrast to the heaviness in my heart.
"How dare you?" I seethed. "How DARE you try to blame me for this? Ever since you two came into our lives, everything has fallen apart!" Sara flinched, but I wasn't finished. The words poured out like a flood. "You manipulated him, turned him against me, his own daughter! You played the perfect fa
I nodded weakly, allowing him to guide me to his car. As he opened the passenger door for me, I caught sight of Sara and her mother leaving the hospital. Josh must have seen them too, because his arm tightened protectively around my shoulders. "Don't even think about it," he warned them quietly as
I stumbled to a nearby bench, my legs finally giving out. The reality of what had just happened crashed over me in waves. My father was dead. The last connection to my childhood, my past, was gone forever. And his last days had been filled with conflict and stress because of those women... because o
Chapter 154 Eva's Point of View The harsh fluorescent lights of the hospital corridor made my head throb as I paced back and forth. Sara and her mother sat rigid in the waiting area chairs, their faces drawn with worry. None of us spoke. The tension in the air was suffocating. When Dr. Matthews h
Chapter 153 Max’s Point of View I sat behind my desk, staring blankly at the stack of documents in front of me. My mind wasn’t on the reports or the contracts. It hadn’t been for weeks. I rubbed my temples, trying to push back the headache that had been building all day. Sleep had become a rare l
The steady beeping of the heart monitor was his only response, each sound both reassuring and maddeningly empty. "I don't know what to do anymore," I admitted, my voice trembling. "Sara hates me. She blames me for everything, and I don't even know how to begin fixing it. And now this... this accide
