Chapter 92: Missing Damien (3)

Flora's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "What?" she exclaimed, her voice filled with disbelief.Eva nodded, her expression serious. "I know it sounds sudden, but it's important. From what we've learned about Alice, it's clear she's not going to let you settle into your rightful place without a fight."Flora's mind raced, trying to process the implications of Eva's words. "But Alice lives there," she protested, her face twisted in distaste. Eva nodded, her expression grim. "Exactly. And given the circumstances, she can claim ownership of the house. It's called squatter's rights. We can't let her get away with it."“And to stop her from claiming it, I have to live with her?"Eva nodded. "I know it's not ideal, but there are important reasons for it. From the results of the first DNA test, it's obvious Alice will do anything to make sure you don't get any of your father's assets. And now that she's living in your father's home, she can request ownership of the house

Chapter 93: Homecoming

Flora spent the better part of her morning packing her luggage, methodically going through each drawer and closet in the hotel suite to ensure she hadn't forgotten anything. Her movements were steady, though her mind was filled with a mix of anxiety and resolve. The thought of staying with Alice in such close quarters made her uneasy - eating breakfast with her, seeing her everyday, running into her - but she had to stand her ground. If she didn’t, Alice would walk all over her, and she was determined not to let that happen.Eva flitted around the suite like a whirlwind, gathering up forgotten items from the kitchenette and the bathroom. Her presence was comforting, though the knowledge that she would be leaving soon cast a shadow over Flora's mood. Despite the fact that they would soon be separated, their plan was clear: Eva would accompany Flora to her father’s house, help her confront Alice, and then spend the night before leaving the next day.By late morning, the two

Chapter 94: Confronting Alice

As the car slowed to a stop, the familiar iron gates loomed ahead, thick ivy curling around their bars like the living tendrils of a plant, just like in fairy tales. A female voice crackled through the intercom, sharp and unfamiliar, demanding to know who they were. Flora, miffed by the lack of recognition, provided her full name with a tone that brooked no argument. There was a brief, stunned silence before the gate clicked and began to roll open with a groan, the sound echoing along the graveled pathway ahead.Anna guided the car down the drive, the tires crunching softly against the gravel. The pathway was lined with towering oak trees whose leaves whispered secrets of the estate’s long history. The sun, filtering through the dense canopy, cast dappled shadows on the stone facade of the mansion, a grand, imposing structure that seemed to have grown even larger since Flora’s last unfortunate visit months ago.The mansion was a testament to the wealth of the Wicks family an

Chapter 95: Laying Cards Down (1)

At Flora's declaration that she has come to claim her home, Alice’s lips thinned, a line of displeasure cutting across her otherwise carefully composed face. Her mask slipped ever so slightly. “Don’t be ridiculous,” she sneered, her voice cold as ice. “There’s nothing here that belongs to you.”The woman sitting opposite Alice, engrossed in their game of cards, looked up and adjusted her glasses to peer at Flora. Her eyes sparkled with interest, and a slight smile tugged at the corners of her lips as if the conflict entertained her. “Aren’t you going to introduce us, Alice?” she asked, her tone laced with a strange glee, as if she relished the drama unfolding before her.Alice snapped at her, clearly agitated. “The game is over, Janice. We’re done here.”Janice chuckled softly, unbothered by Alice’s irritation. “Are you chasing me away, Alice? How rude.”Alice’s eyes flashed with anger, and she snapped again, “Don’t vex me, Janice!” Her voice rang through the room, b

Chapter 95: Laying Cards Down (2)

Eva patted her shoulder in support before waltzing out. Quietly, Olivia shuffled out behind her, not meeting her mother's eyes.Alice’s eyes burned with hatred, but she held her tongue, waiting for Flora to continue. Flora leaned back, her voice steady and controlled as the door closed behind Olivia and Eva. “First, let’s address the obvious. You’ve been living here as if this house belongs to you. It doesn’t. You’re a guest here, Alice. And while my father’s in the hospital, I’ll be taking control of everything he owns, including this house.”Alice’s nostrils flared, but she remained silent, her eyes flickering with barely contained rage.“Second,” Flora continued, “there will be no more tampering with legal documents or tests. The court is already aware of the first incident, and any further attempts to undermine my position will be met with legal action.”Her stepmother's lips twitched, but she said nothing, her gaze fixed on Flora.Flora paused, letting

Chapter 96: Blast from the Past (1)

After Eva left the room, Flora stood alone, taking in the sight of her childhood bedroom. Now that they had cleared away the boxes and clutter Alice had used to fill up the space, it felt as though she had stepped back in time. The room was vastly unchanged since the day she had left it, as though the years had not dared to touch it. It was both comforting and unsettling—a reminder of a time when life had seemed simpler, though in hindsight, it had been anything but. The walls were still painted in the soft lavender hue she had chosen as a teenager, a color she now found overly sweet, bordering on saccharine. In the corner, the small writing desk she had used for homework remained, its surface worn from years of use. The familiar grooves she had traced absentmindedly with her fingers during long study sessions were still there, as were the faint ink stains from spilled pens and markers. As she walked around the room, her fingers lightly brushed against the walls,

Chapter 96: Blast from the Past (2)

“I’m not sure yet,” Flora admitted, her voice more open than she had intended. She looked at Olivia, searching her face for any sign of deceit, but found none. There was a tiredness in Olivia’s eyes, one that mirrored Flora’s own. Flora glanced at the door and then back to Olivia. “Is it okay for you to be in here?” she asked cautiously. “Won’t Alice see this as you taking my side? I can only imagine how livid she’d be.” Olivia shrugged, a nonchalant expression crossing her face. “I’m in my thirties, Flora. I can make my own choices. The worst she can do at this point is throw me out of the house.” Flora felt a flicker of admiration for Olivia’s defiance, this new, cooler side of her that Flora hadn’t seen before. She had always known Olivia to be under Alice’s thumb, but now she seemed different—stronger, more independent. It was a revelation that made Flora rethink their relationship. As she looked at Olivia, Flora’s mind drifted back to wh

Chapter 97: Secrets in the Garden (1)

After her conversation with Olivia, Flora felt a strange mixture of emotions—relief, hope, but also a lingering sense of unease. The years of animosity between her and Olivia couldn’t simply be swept away in one conversation, but perhaps there was a chance for something better.It still felt surreal to be back in this house, engaging in civil conversation with Olivia—someone who had once been her adversary but now seemed almost like an ally. The tension between them had lessened, but it left behind a different sort of heaviness, one born of shared history and unspoken regrets.Needing to clear her head, Flora stood up and decided to explore the house. It had been years since she had last wandered these hallways freely. As she stepped out of her childhood room, the wooden floor creaked beneath her feet, just as it had when she was a teenager sneaking out of her room after curfew. The house, despite its grandeur, had an old-world charm, with dark wood paneling and tall, n

Chapter 97: Secrets in the Garden (2)

As she came closer, she noticed a groove in the wall that hadn’t been there before—or at least, she didn’t remember it.Curious, she traced the groove with her fingers, feeling the cool, uneven surface. It seemed to lead to a small, almost hidden door, its frame blending into the wall so seamlessly that it could easily be overlooked. Flora hesitated for a moment, but her curiosity got the better of her, and she pushed the door open wide open.The space beyond was small, barely the size of a pantry, but what she found inside took her breath away. It was an indoor garden, unlike anything she had ever seen before. The air was thick with the scent of earth and greenery, a sharp contrast to the musty air of the rest of the house. Flora stepped inside, the door creaking shut behind her. The walls were lined with shelves filled with pots of blooming plants, their leaves vibrant and glossy. But these were no ordinary plants. Flora couldn’t recognize any of them, their shapes and col

Chapter 97: Secrets in the Garden (3)

“You… you hated him?” Flora finally managed to say, her voice barely above a whisper. “You hated my father?”Alice’s eyes blazed with fury. “Hate him? I despised him! He was a pathetic excuse for a man! But I stayed because I had to. Because there was no other way to secure my future, to secure Olivia’s future. And now you think you can just walk in here and take everything that I’ve sacrificed for? I don’t think so, Flora. I won’t let you.”Flora stared at Alice, her mind reeling. This was a side of her stepmother she had never seen before—bitter, angry, and consumed by a resentment that had clearly festered for years. The image of the cold, calculating woman she had always known was now replaced by someone who was almost frightening in her intensity.“You stayed… for the money?” Flora asked, her voice shaking only slightly as she tried to make sense of the revelations.“For the money, for the security, for everything I was owed!” Alice spat, her voice rising with
