Chapter 101 Secrets

BerniceI found my mother in the kitchen, her hands wrapped around a steaming mug of tea. She looked up as I entered, her eyes filled with concern."Bernice, what happened with Melissa? Is everything alright?"I sighed, sinking into the chair across from her. "Honestly, Mom? I'm not sure. Melissa...she said some things."Mom's brow furrowed, her grip tightening on the mug. "What kind of things?"I hesitated, the words sticking in my throat. I decided not to tell mom right now. " She got something about my previous work in Miller. She wanted to teach me some lessons."Mom's face paled, her eyes widening with an emotion I couldn't quite decipher. "She what?""I know, it's crazy, right?" I said, trying to laugh it off. "Mom, do you know who the real parents of Melissa is?"Mom looked away, her gaze fixing on some distant point beyond the kitchen window. "Melissa...her parents...it's complicated, Bernice."My heart stuttered . "What do you mean, complicated? Mom, what aren't you telling m

Chapter 102 Unraveling Threads

BerniceMartin took a deep breath, his voice trembling as he spoke. "It... it was just a mistake. A slip of the tongue, really. I had some gambling debts, and I... I accidentally let some information slip. But it wasn't intentional, I swear!"I felt my anger rising at his pathetic attempt at justification. "Stop lying, Martin," I said, my voice cold and hard. "We both know this wasn't a one-time thing. You've been systematically betraying this company for months. I don't need your excuses. I need you to admit what you've done."As I spoke, I could see Martin's facade crumbling. His shoulders slumped, and he seemed to age years in a matter of seconds. "You're right," he whispered, his voice barely audible. "I... I've been gambling again. For the past six months."My father's sharp intake of breath was audible in the silent room. "Martin," he said, his voice heavy with disappointment, "you told me you'd quit. You said you hadn't been near a casino in twenty years."Martin nodded, unabl

Chapter 103 Tragedy

BerniceI sat across from my father, the tension in the room palpable. Owen took a deep breath, his eyes meeting mine with a mixture of sadness and resolve."Bernice," he began, his voice soft, "your mother has told you about Aunt Lilian, hasn't she?"I nodded slowly. "Yes, Mom mentioned her briefly. She said that Aunt Lilian lost her life due to a bad marriage and a violent husband. "Owen's face contorted with pain. "Lilian... She was my sister, Bernice. My little sister. You can never imagine and prepare that pain, losing her. She was the most important family member I had growing up. We were incredibly close. But that marriage... it took her away from us."I leaned forward, placing my hand on his arm. "What happened, Dad."Owen closed his eyes for a moment, as if steeling himself against the onslaught of memories. When he opened them again, they were filled with unshed tears."It was a nightmare, Bernice. I saw her body... she looked like a broken doll, riddled with knife wounds.

Chapter 104 Childhood Days

BerniceI walked out of my father's office, my mind reeling from the revelations. The weight of Melissa's tragic past pressed down on me, making each step feel like a monumental effort. I had come seeking answers, but now I found myself drowning in a sea of conflicting emotions.If Melissa had just been a simple villain, a woman intent on ruining my marriage and my life, I would have had no qualms about seeking revenge. But now? Now she was so much more. My sister. My cousin.

How could I hate someone who had endured so much pain?Mechanically, I gathered my work materials, my mind far away from the mundane tasks at hand.

Chapter 105 Tipsy

BerniceThe gentle click of the door closing behind Christian seemed to echo in the stillness of the apartment. I remained motionless on the plush sofa, my fingers wrapped around the stem of the wine glass, its contents a deep crimson that matched the tumultuous emotions swirling within me.Christian's presence filled the room, a comforting warmth that both soothed and intensified the ache in my chest. I watched as he shrugged off his jacket, the soft rustle of fabric a stark contrast to the deafening silence that had enveloped me for the past hour. His movements were deliberate, careful, as if he was afraid a sudden motion might shatter me like fine crystal.He poured himself a glass of wine, the liquid gurgling softly as it filled the glass. The scent of the Château Margaux wafted through the air, rich and complex, much like the situation we found ourselves in.Christian settled beside me on the sofa, his arm snaking around my shoulders and pulling me close. I leaned into him, allow

BerniceChristian rose from the couch, his movements fluid and purposeful as he crossed the room to turn off the lights. The sudden darkness accentuated his silhouette, tall and powerful in his black shirt. My breath caught in my throat as I watched him, struck by how the simple act of dimming the lights could transform the atmosphere so completely.The city lights filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a soft, ethereal glow across the room. It felt as though we were suddenly transported to our own private world, far removed from the chaos and complications of our daily lives.As Christian turned back towards me, our eyes locked, and I felt a familiar warmth spread through my body. The intensity of his gaze held me captive, igniting a longing deep within me for something I couldn't quite articulate."Bernie," he murmured, his voice low and husky as he slowly made his way back to me. "You look absolutely... delicious."His words sent a shiver down my spine, and I found

Chapter 107 Meeting

BerniceThe soft morning light filtered through the curtains, gently rousing me from my slumber. I turned in Christian's arms, facing him just as his eyes fluttered open. A slow, sleepy smile spread across his face, making my heart skip a beat."Good morning, beautiful," he murmured, his voice husky with sleep."Good morning," I replied, unable to keep the smile from my own face.We lay there for a moment, just gazing at each other, before Christian leaned in for a soft, lingering kiss. It was gentle and unhurried, a perfect way to start the day.When we finally pulled apart, I couldn't help but ask about the question that had been on my mind since last night. "So, tell me more about your grandfather. I'm intrigued."Christian's expression softened, a mix of fondness and nostalgia crossing his features. "He's the only family I have left, really. He's French – moved back there after my grandmother passed away."I nodded, remembering a conversation we'd had weeks ago. "That's right, you

Chapter 108 All Liars

MelissaI drummed my fingers anxiously on the steering wheel as I pulled into Dr. Novak's clinic parking lot. Today was the day - the day I'd finally have proof of Owen Stephen's betrayal. My heart raced with anticipation. This DNA test would be the key to unraveling the lies I'd been fed my entire life.As I strode into the clinic, my heels clicked sharply against the tile floor. The receptionist barely had time to greet me before I snapped, "I'm here to see Dr. Novak. He's expecting me."Moments later, I was ushered into his office. Dr. Novak sat behind his desk, a manila folder in front of him. My eyes locked onto it immediately."Melissa," he began, his tone cautious. "Before we discuss the results-""Just give me the report," I interrupted, my patience already wearing thin. I didn't need another lecture or pitying looks. I needed answers.Dr. Novak sighed, sliding the folder across his desk. With trembling hands, I snatched it up and began scanning the contents. As I read, my wor

Chapter 109 Open Your Eyes

BerniceI saw it coming in slow motion - Melissa's car barreling towards me, her face contorted with rage behind the windshield. For a split second, I was frozen, my mind struggling to comprehend what was happening. Then, instinct kicked in.I dove to the side, my body moving before my brain could fully process the danger. I hit the ground hard, the asphalt scraping against my skin as I rolled away from the oncoming vehicle. The screech of tires filled the air, followed by a sickening crunch of metal on metal.My heart pounded in my ears as I struggled to catch my breath. Pain radiated from my arms and legs where I had scraped them in my desperate escape. I could feel warm blood oozing from the wounds, but the adrenaline coursing through my veins dulled the sensation.Slowly, I pushed myself up, wincing as my battered body protested. The scene before me was one of chaos - Melissa's car had slammed into another vehicle, its front end crumpled like an accordion. Smoke rose from the twis

Chapter 110 Check Mate

Christian I watched Bernice's chest rise and fall in the soft moonlight. Her face, usually so animated and full of life, was peaceful in sleep. But a slight furrow marred her brow. My heart clenched at the sight.I brushed my fingertips across her forehead, wishing I could smooth away whatever troubled her dreams. My gaze drifted to the gauze wrapped around her arms and thighs, stark white against her skin. "I'm so sorry, Bernie," I whispered. I leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead, lingering for a moment as I breathed in her familiar scent. I pulled away and made my way to the small bar cart in the corner of the room. My hand reached for the bottle of gin almost of its own accord. The liquid sloshed as I poured a generous measure into a crystal tumbler, the sharp scent of juniper filling the air.I took a long sip, savoring the burn as it slid down my throat. Then, glass in hand, I settled into the chair at my desk and powered on my computer. The soft whir of the fa
