54. Secret Plan

Lillian's thoughts churned as she replayed the confrontation between her father and Katherine in her mind. The tension, the anger, the heartbreak—it was all too much to process. She felt a deep, gnawing concern for her sister, despite everything. Katherine's pain was evident, but Lillian couldn't shake the feeling that something more sinister was at play. Determined to check on her sister, Lillian made her way down the long, dim hallway to Katherine's room. She paused in front of the door, hesitating. She knocked twice, her knuckles rapping softly against the wood. There was no response. She knocked again, louder this time. Still, silence.

55. Haunt Her

Katherine drove with trembling hands, her vision blurred by the tears she could no longer hold back. Each mile brought back memories, sharper and more painful than the last. Her mother’s face haunted her, the soft smile that used to bring her comfort now a ghost that gnawed at her sanity. She pulled up to the old bridge, the very spot where someone had tried to end her life. The engine's hum faded into silence as she stepped out, the crunch of gravel under her heels echoing in the stillness. The cold wind tugged at her hair, pulling it across her tear-streaked face as she approached the railing. She rested her hands on the cold metal, the chill biting into her skin, grounding her in the present while her mind drifted to the past.The memory was a haze, but certain fragments stood out with agonizing clarity. She remembered the shove, the sudden loss of balance, and the sheer terror as she plummeted towards the icy water below. The sensation of the water swallowing her, the suffocating

David's eyes lingered on Katherine’s face, searching for a sign, a glimmer of hope amidst the storm of her emotions. His fingers tightened gently around her hand, and before she could pull away, he lifted it to his lips, pressing a soft kiss on her knuckles.“Katherine,” he began, his voice tender, “there’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you for a long time.”She looked at him, confusion and curiosity mingling in her tear-streaked eyes. “What is it, David?”He took a deep breath, his gaze unwavering. “Ever since I found you that night, I’ve been thinking about you. I’ve been...falling for you.”Her eyes widened, and she opened her mouth to speak, but he gently squeezed her hand, urging her to let him finish.“I didn’t want to say anything before because I didn’t want you to think I was just trying to get close to you for...other reasons,” he said, his voice steady. “I know you’ve been through so much, and I didn’t want to add to your burden.”Katherine’s breath hitched, and she f
