Chapter 117: A Resting Place (2)

Damien shook his head. “She wouldn't try it, not when she thinks she can still get the deed through you.”“I just want this all to be over,” she murmured. “I can’t stop thinking about the deeds I found. One of them… it’s not just a normal deed, Damien. My father practically signed over everything he owns to Janice. Why would he do that? What does she have on him?”Damien’s hands stilled on her feet for a moment, and he let out a thoughtful hum. “And what about the deed?” he asked, looking at her intently. “You have it here with you?” “No, but I took pictures of them.” She pulled out her phone and began scrolling through her gallery until she found the pictures she had taken of the documents. Handing her phone to Damien, she watched as his eyes scanned the details on the screen. His expression grew darker as he read through the conditions of the deed.“This doesn’t add up,” he muttered after a moment, handing the phone back to her. After a long pause, Damien handed

Chapter 118: Broken Illusions (1)

The early morning air hung heavy with quiet, the sun not yet risen over the horizon, leaving the world wrapped in a cool, bluish darkness. Flora slept soundly, her body curled against Damien’s side, tucked beneath the warmth of his arm. His breathing was steady, his presence a comforting anchor beside her. Neither of them had stirred for hours, and the weight of their shared worries had temporarily lifted in sleep. The soft vibration of her phone on the bedside table broke through the stillness, but it was faint, not enough to pull Flora from the depths of her slumber. Its noise was barely audible against the backdrop of silence. Damien stirred first. His eyes opened, instantly alert, as though he was always ready for some new challenge. Reaching across Flora without disturbing her too much, he picked up her phone, unlocking it with the ease of someone who’d done it many times before. He blinked at the screen, his expression darkening as he saw the sender’s name. Janice.

Damien’s jaw tightened. “Or worse, she’s planning to bring one herself,” he said quietly, his protective instincts flaring. The thought made his blood boil. His mind raced with possibilities, considering every scenario Janice might have planned for this meeting. Flora could see it on his face—he was already working out contingencies. Janice was playing a dangerous game, one that involved threats far beyond words. Flora closed her eyes for a moment, trying to shake off the growing fear. Damien was right. If Janice was projecting this much, there was a very real possibility that she had something far more sinister in mind for their meeting. The thought of it made her stomach twist in knots of nervousness. “What’s the last demand?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. The unease was building in her chest, an oppressive weight she couldn’t shake. Damien glanced back down at the phone, his expression tightening even more as he read the final part of

“Of course I do,” he replied, a mischievous glint in his eye. “Especially when it comes to keeping you safe.” The sun was beginning to rise outside, casting a warm, golden glow over the horizon, as the couple huddled together, discussing their next steps. Time was ticking—Flora’s meeting with Janice was only hours away, and they needed a plan in place. Flora ran her fingers through her hair, staring out the window at the early morning light. Damien leaned forward, his eyes fixed on her. “We need to assume Janice and Alice might be working together." Flora had just been thinking the same. Such a thing would be exactly what she'd expect someone affiliated with Alice to do. "I need to hide the real deeds. Somewhere Janice can’t find them, just in case she’s playing us. If she’s got Alice in on this, it’s possible they’re trying to trap me." Damien considered this for a moment, then nodded slowly. "That’s a good idea. We can’t risk her getting he

Chapter 119: Pieces of a Broken Heart (1)

Flora led Olivia back to her room, guiding her stepsister with a gentle hand. The moment they entered, Flora was struck by how much Olivia’s room had changed over the years. The once chaotic space was now serene and minimalistic. The loud posters of metal bands, with their garish colors and rebellious poses, had been stripped away. In their place, the walls were bare except for a single framed photograph of Olivia at a serene beach, her smile bright against the backdrop of a setting sun. Flora’s eyes drifted to the large bookshelf that used to be cluttered with figurines from animated shows, now replaced with neat rows of classic literature and motivational books. Even the magenta wallpaper Olivia had begged Alice for, a blindingly bright statement of tween defiance, was gone. Now the walls were painted a cool, calming shade of sea green, giving the room an air of maturity and peace that hadn’t been there before. The bed, once covered in colorful mismatched pillows, now had a simpl

Olivia nodded miserably, fresh tears spilling over her already reddened cheeks. “I did. I wanted it so badly. I’ve wanted it for so long. And I… I don’t regret what we did. I was into it just as much as he was. That’s not the problem.”Flora’s confusion deepened. “Then what is the problem?”Olivia’s hands balled into tight fists in her lap as she took another shaky breath. “It’s what he said after, Flora. It’s what he did after.”Olivia’s voice was filled with anguish, her body trembling with the weight of the memory. She bit her lip, trying to keep her voice steady, but the pain in her heart was too much. “When we were done… he looked down at me with this look on his face—this look of annoyance, like I was just some inconvenience to him. Like I had gotten in his way.”Flora’s eyes widened in disbelief. Annoyance? After everything?“And then,” Olivia continued, her voice cracking, “he told me… he told me that what had just happened was a one-time thing. That he w

“I mean, I’ve been spending time at Defendwise lately,” Flora explained, “but I’ve never seen you there. I didn’t even know you worked there.”Olivia shrugged weakly, her gaze still downcast. “I’ve been at Cyprus’ office a lot, but you probably haven’t had a reason to go up there, right? You’ve been meeting with the directors or staying in your office mostly.”Flora thought about it and realized Olivia was right. She had never had a reason to go to Cyprus’ office, even though he was the face of the company. “I guess that’s true,” she admitted. A sudden pang of guilt hit her. Maybe if she had gone to Cyprus’ office more often, she would’ve noticed something. Maybe she would’ve seen how Olivia looked at him, or how Cyprus behaved around her. Maybe she could have seen the warning signs, seen the pain Olivia was in before it had come to this.But what could she have done? She hadn’t even known.Flora’s gaze softened as she looked at Olivia, who was still trying to c

Flora’s stomach dropped as she listened, already dreading what Olivia would say next.“He wasn’t talking to her like a colleague or friend. He was… flirting with her, Flora. And I don’t mean light flirting. He was telling her things… things he hadn’t even said to me all night. How he missed her. How he couldn’t wait to see her. I didn’t know what to do. I felt frozen. Stuck in the kitchen, listening to him make plans with her, all while I was cleaning up the mess from our… perfect evening.”Olivia’s hands trembled as she spoke, her voice growing more broken with each word. “I don’t know how long I stood there. It felt like forever. I wanted to scream at him, but I didn’t. I just… I finished washing the dishes. I didn’t even confront him. I couldn’t. When I walked back into the dining room, he acted like nothing had happened, like he hadn’t just been planning to see another woman.”Flora closed her eyes, her heart aching for her stepsister. She had known Cyprus was sleazy

Chapter 120: Hiding in Plain Sight (1)

Flora sat quietly with Olivia still nestled against her, arms wrapped around her step-sister as though she could shield her from the emotional storm that had engulfed her. Olivia’s breath hitched as she prepared herself to say something difficult, her voice small and heavy with a mixture of regret and exhaustion. "I knew Cyprus fancied you," Olivia admitted quietly, as if the words themselves were a burden too heavy to carry alone. “Even before everything happened, I could see it.” Flora didn’t respond immediately, choosing instead to gently stroke Olivia’s back. She had sensed that her step-sister didn’t need judgment or even consolation just yet—she needed space to say what was weighing on her heart. So Flora let her continue, her fingers still moving softly in comforting circles. Olivia swallowed hard, her next words filled with a sadness that seemed to have been lodged deep inside her for years. “Cyprus is the first man I’ve fallen

Chapter 120: Hiding in Plain Sight (2)

Flora bit her lip, her eyes filling with a strange mix of sadness and guilt. She had never asked for any of the things Olivia was bitter about. She had never lorded her wealth or her looks over anyone, least of all Olivia. Yet, she could now see how her existence had become a constant mirror in which Olivia saw all her own perceived shortcomings reflected back at her. Olivia’s fingers fidgeted with the hem of her nightgown as she spoke, her words growing quieter, more tentative. “It didn’t help that Alice… my mom… she always compared me to you. She pushed me so hard to be better than you in some way, and when I couldn’t, she’d berate me. Every time you came out on top, it was like another failure in her eyes.” Flora’s heart twisted at the mention of her snake of a stepmother. She had always known she had a sharp tongue, but she hadn’t realized the extent of the damage Alice had caused in Olivia’s life. It explained so much—the rivalry, the jealousy, t
