Ellen’s fingers stilled against Helena’s cheek, her face hardening into a mask of icy composure. “Ray?” she repeated, her voice deceptively calm, though her jaw tightened. “So that’s what you’ve been holding onto? Some ridiculous fantasy that he’d choose you?”

Helena frowned, taken aback by Ellen’s sudden change in demeanor. “It’s not a fantasy,” she said defensively. “Ray and I had something real. If you hadn’t—”

Ellen cut her off with a sharp laugh, stepping back and folding her arms across her chest. “Oh, Helena,” she said, her tone dripping with mock pity. “You really don’t have a clue, do you?”

Helena sat up straighter, the hairs on her neck prickling at Ellen’s shift in tone. “What are you talking about?”

Ellen tilted her head, her smile cold and condescending. “Ray got married,” she said, savoring the way the words seemed to hit Helena like a slap. “A month ago, to be precise. To Liliana.”

The room seemed to tilt as Helena stared at Ellen, her mind struggling to process what sh

    Matilda tossed her phone angrily onto the bed and screamed, “Haaaaaa!” at the top of her lungs, but none of the servants dared show up. They were used to this in the Anderson household. Everyone in the family, except Liliana Anderson, acted like a bunch of mad people—breaking things or yelling at the top of their lungs like it was some sort of therapy.To say she wasn’t frustrated would be a big lie. Master was in New York, and how was she supposed to tell him that Liliana was no longer under their control?Matilda herself had given Liliana the pill, and she’d almost died in the process. She knew that without Master’s help, she wouldn’t have been able to get rid of Evelyn or even imagine herself married to James.She knew she couldn’t hide forever. Matilda had been coming up with excuses to avoid seeing him, but she knew it was only a matter of a day or two before he sent someone to drag her to him.And the only thing that daughter of hers knew how to do was whine nonstop every day li

    Matilda paced nervously in the driveway, clutching her car keys. Her usual driver had been dismissed with a cold excuse of needing “privacy,” and now, she was gripping the steering wheel of her luxury sedan like it was a lifeline. She didn’t often drive herself—why should she? But this wasn’t the kind of visit she wanted anyone else to witness.As the towering iron gates of an old, industrial-looking street loomed ahead, she slowed to a stop. A hulking man stepped out of a hidden booth, his body brimming with muscle and menace. His face was expressionless, but his sharp eyes bore into hers as he leaned down to peer through the window.Before Matilda could say a word, he stepped back and pressed a button on a small device. The gates groaned open, revealing a sprawling compound that looked like a blend of a high-tech laboratory and a fortress.Matilda’s fear grew with every inch the car rolled forward. Inside, the space was stark and clinical. The walls were metallic, with strips of gla

    “So, you’re telling me that you fed my toy a pill?” Master’s voice thundered through the room, the walls seeming to vibrate with the sheer force of his anger. His piercing gaze bore into Matilda, who trembled on her knees, barely holding herself upright. “How the fuck did you get access to it?”The silence that followed was suffocating, broken only by Matilda’s shallow breaths and the faint hum of machinery in the background. The Master’s fists clenched tightly at his sides, his knuckles white with rage.Which one of his men had betrayed him? Who dared to give her access to something so dangerous? His mind raced, a volatile mix of confusion, fury, and disbelief swirling within him. How could this happen? And worse, how had she survived?The Master’s aura darkened, an almost tangible wave of menace radiating from him. It was as though the room itself shrank under the weight of his wrath, the air growing colder with each passing second.Matt, standing near the doorway, swallowed hard. H

    The question struck Gray like a physical blow. His eyes darted nervously to Matilda, who was still trembling on her knees, then back to Master. “I—” he began, his voice faltering. He hadn’t checked in a long time. Months, maybe even longer. He had gotten complacent, assuming that nothing could disrupt her conditioning.“I-I don’t…” he stammered, his throat tightening.Master’s eyes narrowed, his expression a terrifying mask of cold rage. “Speak up!” he thundered, the force of his voice reverberating through the room.Gray flinched, his words choking in his throat. Before he could muster a response, Matilda’s muffled sobs broke the tense silence.The Master’s head snapped toward her, his gaze venomous. “If I hear so much as another breath from you,” he said, his voice dropping to an ominous growl, “I will cut off your head and feed it to my dog.”Matilda froze, her sobs dying in her throat as she clamped her hands over her mouth, desperate to stifle even the faintest sound.

    Clark and Gray flinched, exchanging panicked glances but daring not to intervene. Matilda remained motionless, tears streaming silently down her face as she braced herself for the storm that showed no signs of subsiding. The room was heavy with dread, the atmosphere oppressive as Master’s wrath churned like a hurricane, threatening to consume everyone in its path.Master’s rampage continued, his fury a relentless force that demanded release. His voice boomed through the room, shaking even the walls. “You!” he bellowed, jabbing a finger at Gray. “I told you to always check! How dare you neglect your duty? And Matt!” His gaze swung sharply to the figure lingering in the corner, making Matt stiffen. “When I ordered you to bring her in a few days ago, did you notice anything strange?”The accusation crackled in the air like a whip, and the three men froze under the weight of his rage. Clark’s face went pale, beads of sweat rolling down his temples as he tried to blend into the background.

    Liliana’s voice wavered, but her anger burned steady. “What about the girl who grew up feeling unwanted?” she demanded, her hands trembling at her sides. “Do you have any idea what it’s like to be your daughter? To live a life where love was a distant dream?” Her breath hitched, her throat tightening. “Liliana’s life was miserable. Mine was too, growing up with you.”Evelyn flinched, her lips parting in a silent protest, but Liliana didn’t give her the chance to speak.“You said you were trying to protect me,” she continued, her voice thick with emotion, “but your protection felt more like a cage, Mother. Every single day, I felt trapped, suffocated by the life you built around me. I was always seeking, always pleading for freedom, even when I knew it was impossible.”Evelyn’s eyes shimmered with unshed tears, her expression contorted with guilt and confusion. “I—I only wanted to keep you safe…” she whispered.Liliana let out a bitter laugh, shaking her head. “Safe?” she spat. “You ca

    Liliana’s breath caught, and she took an involuntary step back. “So you didn’t see her—my twin—after that? You didn’t even try to stop him?”Evelyn shook her head frantically, tears spilling down her face. Her shoulders trembled as she clutched her arms, her entire body wracked with guilt. Perhaps she was too caught up in her emotions to notice that Lilly was referring to someone else, her words laced with an underlying recognition that she herself hadn’t fully grasped yet.“I tried, Liliana,” Evelyn choked out. “I begged him to tell me where she was. But he wouldn’t answer. He just kept saying it was necessary, that I wouldn’t understand. And then he disappeared.” She sucked in a shaky breath, her voice barely above a whisper. “He left me alone. With no way to find him. No way to find her.”The air in the room felt suffocating. Lilly’s nails dug into her palms, her hands clenched into tight fists at her sides. She was shaking, fury and betrayal crashing over her in violent waves.“Yo

    Lily felt like her Liliana entire existence was a sham. She had been living a lie, dead believing in a lie and the truth was only now beginning to unravel. The man who had tormented her, whom she thought was her father, was actually not her biological parent. It was a shocking revelation, and she couldn't wrap her head around it. How could this be? How could her whole life be a fabrication?As she grappled with these questions, Lily's emotions were in turmoil. She felt like she was vibrating with anger and frustration, and she couldn't seem to calm down. Her existence, her identity, everything she thought she knew about herself was a lie.And to make matters more complicated, she had just discovered that she had a twin sister, who was somehow seven years older than her. It didn't make sense - how could two people be twins, yet be born at different times? It was a mind-bending concept, and Lily was desperate for answers.She hoped that the explanation she was about to receive would be

    Evelyn’s voice broke as she began, her trembling hands gripping the edges of the chair she sat on. She couldn’t meet Liliana’s eyes. Her gaze seemed fixed somewhere in the distance, as if reliving the memories she was about to unveil.“When I found out I was pregnant, I was overjoyed,” she began, her tone soft and uneven, every word weighted with emotion. “It felt like my whole world had fallen into place. I was carrying a piece of the love I shared with your father—your father, Liliana. He was my anchor, my safe haven.”Her lips quivered as a small, bittersweet smile appeared, only to disappear almost immediately. “I still remember the tears on his face when I told him. He held me so tightly, like he was trying to hold on to the moment forever. We had so many dreams, plans to build a home, a family. We talked about the little things—what color the nursery would be, what names we’d pick. Life felt… perfect.”Her voice cracked, and she brought a trembling hand to her face, swiping away

    Evelyn walked slower when she saw her daughter’s figure from a distance, her voice carrying over, deeper with hurt. “You said you wanted to talk, right?” Liliana’s voice wavered, the tremble betraying the anger she tried to keep steady. She turned slightly, her hands clenched at her sides. “What do you want to talk about? Or are you here just to make sure I’m unhappy?” She laughed bitterly, her gaze falling to the ground for a moment before meeting Evelyn’s. “You know, Mother, if you really care as much as you claim, if you’re really here to make amends like you say, you wouldn’t have done what you did.” Evelyn stayed silent, her chest tightening as she watched Liliana brush at her cheeks roughly, trying to hold herself together. “Even if Ray had done something wrong,” Liliana continued, her voice sharp but trembling, “as a mother, you could have at least tried to hide it. Tried to make it seem like nothing was wrong. Do you know what I did, Mother?” She laughed again, this time s

    Ray’s protective instincts flared, his jaw tightening as he turned to Evelyn. “You what?” he demanded, his voice low and dangerous. Evelyn raised a hand, her expression placating. “Relax, Ray. That’s all in the past now. I came here to make amends, not to dredge up old wounds.” Liliana scoffed, folding her arms across her chest. “Amends? Is that what you’re calling this little stunt?” Evelyn smiled serenely, ignoring her daughter’s hostility. “Yes, darling. I’m here to make things right. You’ll see.” She turned her gaze back to Ray. “And as for you, young man, you seem like a good match for my daughter. I’m pleased she found someone who can handle her fire. But why are you cheating on her though.” Ray didn’t respond, his mind racing with questions and suspicions. He could feel Liliana trembling beside him, her emotions barely contained. He placed a reassuring hand on her back, silently promising her that he wouldn’t let this woman cause her any more pain. And that he didn’t cheat

    Finally, she swung the door open. There she was. Evelyn Altee stood on the doorstep, her radiant smile as poised as ever, her eyes sparkling with an unsettling calm. She looked utterly at ease, as though she had every right to be there, as though she hadn’t faked her own death or threatened Lilly just weeks ago. “Hello, darling,” Evelyn said sweetly, her voice as smooth as silk. Lilly stared at her, unable to form words. Her mother looked almost exactly as she remembered from the few weeks back, only that this time she looked better and emotional state seems balanced and the guilt and fear from weeks ago was gone. Evelyn’s smile widened, and she tilted her head slightly. “Aren’t you going to invite me in?” Lilly’s lips parted, but no sound came out. A wave of emotions crashed over her—shock, anger, confusion, and an overwhelming sense of betrayal. “Why…?” she finally managed to choke out, her voice trembling with disbelief. “Why are you here? After everything? You—” She broke o

    As they walked toward the dining room, Mitchell slowed her pace just enough to fall in step beside Ray, her expression calm but her eyes sharp. When she was sure Liliana wasn’t looking, she tilted her head slightly toward him and mouthed, “Have you told her? Or has she seen the news?”The weight of her question hit Ray like a ton of bricks. His smile faltered briefly before he quickly composed himself, shaking his head subtly in response. No.Mitchell’s lips pressed into a thin line, her eyes narrowing for a moment before she returned her attention to Liliana, who was inspecting a vase of fresh flowers near the dining room entrance.Ray inhaled deeply, forcing a smile back onto his face as he guided Liliana to her chair at the head of the table. “Here you go, baby girl. Sit tight, and I’ll get you settled.”But the moment he stepped back, Liliana’s gaze pinned him. Her eyes were sharp now, missing nothing. “What are you two hiding from me?” she asked, her voice cool and measured, devo

    Ray chuckled, his hand gently resting on the curve. “I think it has, love. Our little one’s making their presence known.”Liliana’s cheeks flushed as she stepped out of his hold and dashed toward the walk-in closet, her curiosity getting the better of her. She stood in front of the full-length mirror, turning this way and that, examining her figure with wide eyes.“I can’t believe it,” she murmured, a soft smile spreading across her face as she touched her belly.Ray leaned against the doorway, his heart swelling at the sight of her so captivated by the change. “You look beautiful,” he said warmly, his voice full of love.Liliana glanced back at him, her eyes shining. “I’m fascinated. I mean, I knew it would happen, but seeing it… feeling it…” She trailed off, her hand lingering over the gentle curve.Ray stepped behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist and resting his chin on her shoulder. “It’s incredible, isn’t it? And it’s only going to get better from here.”She turned her
