Chapter 124: Bitter Truths (3)

Alice’s voice faltered for a second, her pride still wounded by the memory. “I waited. A month. Two. Then six. I finally swallowed my pride and reached out to him… only to find out he had moved on.”Flora stared at her, her breath shallow, knowing what was coming next but dreading it all the same.“He was with Vera. Your mother,” Alice continued, her voice bitter. “And they were going strong.”Flora felt like the air had been knocked out of her. Her mother. Her father. And Alice. How had they been so entwined in each other's lives, and Flora never knew?Alice shook her head, her expression one of disdain. “After that, I threw myself into work. I didn’t have time to pine over him. We drifted apart. Years passed, and we didn’t speak. Even though we were in the same city, even though we were often in the same social circles, we acted like we didn’t know each other.”Alice paused, her fingers tightening into fists. “Then one night, out of the blue, he showed up at my

Chapter 125: The Devil Herself (1)

Flora’s chest tightened with every passing second, every word that slipped from Alice’s lips felt like another dagger in her heart. The atmosphere in the room was stifling, thick with tension. She could feel the oppressive weight of it pressing down on her shoulders. Alice sat across from her, composed in a way that made Flora’s skin crawl, as if recounting the slow, deliberate destruction of her mother’s life was nothing more than a trivial memory.She took a slow, steadying breath, her fingers still entwined with Damien’s, his touch grounding her in a moment that threatened to tear her apart. She could feel the heat of her anger rising again, her pulse quickening with every word Alice uttered. But when she looked at Damien, his calm, reassuring gaze met hers, and she found the strength to keep herself from lashing out. She needed to hear everything.Damien, steady as a heartbeat and unmoving by Flora’s side, sensed her rising anger. His hand tightened around hers, a groun

Chapter 125: The Devil Herself (2)

The words hung in the air like poison, and Flora’s breath caught in her throat. “What?” she whispered, her voice barely audible. The room fell silent, the weight of Alice’s words crashing into Flora like a wave. Her breath caught in her throat, and her hand gripped Damien’s so tightly it was as if she were holding onto a lifeline. Alice’s face remained impassive, but there was a flicker of something dark in her eyes. “It stopped me in my tracks,” she said. “I didn’t respond right away. I just left. I thought she was messing with me. But the thought stayed with me, haunted me. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. What if Vera wasn’t there anymore?The idea of being rid of Vera, of finally having Edgar to myself… I couldn’t shake it. I started imagining what it would be like—to be the woman Edgar showed off in public, instead of the one he hid away.” Flora felt bile rise in her throat. How had Alice been so cruel? So greedy? How had she allowed herself to ev

Chapter 125: The Devil Herself (3)

The tears that Flora had been holding back finally spilled over, and she shook with the weight of her grief. She could barely breathe, barely think past the anguish that filled her heart. Her mother had died believing that her husband had loved her, but all the while, he had been running to Alice, crying on her shoulder, seeking solace in the arms of the woman who had helped destroy her.Damien squeezed Flora’s hand, but even his presence, solid and comforting as it was, couldn’t dull the pain that had taken root in her chest.“She didn’t deserve this,” Flora choked out, her voice breaking with the weight of her sorrow. “My mother didn’t deserve this.”Alice said nothing, her expression unreadable as she stared at the table. But Flora didn’t need her to say anything. Her mother was gone, and nothing could change that. But as she sat there, holding Damien’s hand, Flora made a silent promise to herself. She would make sure that her mother’s death was not in vain. Ali

Chapter 125: The Devil Herself (4)

Flora’s eyes darted up, locking onto Alice’s, her heart skipping a beat. The image was vivid in her mind—Janice, smug and calculating, sitting comfortably in the very heart of their home. The same woman who had stolen her mother’s life.“She was smiling at me,” Alice continued, her voice low. “Just like the first day I met her. And Edgar… he was sitting there, staring at me. I looked into his eyes, and I knew. I knew he had found out.”Flora’s breath hitched in her throat. Damien fished out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped her trail of tears, the soft material pressing gently against her cheeks. It was comforting, but it couldn’t dull the pain that pierced her heart. “Edgar confronted me,” Alice said, her voice shaking. “His voice was low, seething, and he asked me if it was true—if I had killed Vera. And I denied it. I lied right to his face.” Alice took a deep breath. “But then Janice played a recording,” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “It was a cli

Chapter 126: No Peace (1)

Every word hung between them like a blade. Flora’s mind was swirling with the weight of Alice’s revelations, the magnitude of her deceit. Each new confession chipped away at whatever was left of Flora’s composure, leaving her barely hanging on. Damien sat beside her, his silence speaking volumes as he tried to process everything alongside her. But when his voice finally broke the stillness, it was soft, almost hesitant.“What did you do when Edgar started sleeping with Janice?” Damien asked, his eyes flicking from Flora to Alice, his tone careful.Alice shifted in her seat, her face unreadable as she met Damien’s gaze. “I could do nothing,” she said with a resigned shrug. Her voice was unnervingly calm, as if she’d accepted long ago that she’d lost control. “It was easier for him to hate me, to channel all of his anger into keeping me at arm’s length. But I never could figure out how he managed to bury that anger just long enough to sleep with her.”Flora’s breath caught

Chapter 126: No Peace (2)

The confession hit Flora like a punch to the gut, the impact reverberating through her entire being. Damien’s hand tightened around hers, his thumb brushing her knuckles in a silent gesture of comfort, but it wasn’t enough to stop the surge of pain that flooded through her. Her father’s accident—she had caused it. Alice had done this. Flora’s vision blurred with unshed tears, her body trembling as she struggled to comprehend the magnitude of Alice’s betrayal. Her mind raced back to that fateful day, the phone call that had left her numb. Now, standing in the same room as the woman responsible for it, the woman who had played puppet master in her family’s destruction, Flora felt a cold rage bubbling up inside her. “How?” Flora’s voice cracked as the question escaped her lips. She needed to know. She needed to hear Alice say it, to understand how she had been capable of something so monstrous. Alice’s gaze remained steady,

“That doesn’t make it better!” Flora’s voice broke, trembling with the intensity of her pain. Her chest heaved with the effort of keeping herself together, her emotions teetering on the edge of breaking free. “You wanted him to hurt, and now you've taken him from me!” Damien’s grip tightened on her hand. Alice’s lips parted, as if she wanted to argue, to defend herself. But no words came. There was nothing she could say. She had orchestrated the death of Flora’s mother, and now the accident of her father, all for selfish reasons that now seemed so small in comparison to the destruction she had caused. “I thought I was protecting myself,” Alice said, her voice barely above a whisper, as if admitting it out loud made it real. “After I found out about the deed, I thought I was protecting my future. Olivia's future.” Flora’s tears streamed down her face unchecked now, her sobs quiet but unrelenting. The weight of the grief an

Chapter 127: Outside the Door (1)

Flora’s breath hitched in her throat as she pushed through the heavy door of the game room, her feet moving faster than her mind could keep up with. The air felt thick with the weight of everything Alice had revealed. She wasn’t sure if it was rage or despair that kept her legs moving, but every step away from that room, away from the suffocating revelations, seemed to get harder. Her vision blurred, and she blinked back the tears that threatened to fall.Just as she reached the doorway, she collided with something soft but unmoving—a body. Flora staggered back, momentarily startled, before her eyes lifted to meet Olivia’s wide, horrified gaze. Olivia stood frozen, one hand pressed tightly to her mouth, as if it could keep the torrent of emotion from spilling out. Her eyes, so much like Alice’s, yet so different, searched Flora’s face with a kind of desperate confusion. She must have overheard—maybe not everything, but enough to understand that the world they both lived in was c

It was then that Flora realized she hadn’t been breathing—at least not properly. Her chest had been tight, her breaths shallow and erratic, her body on the verge of collapse. She blinked, trying to focus on him, trying to steady herself, but the shaking wouldn’t stop.“I… I don’t know what to do,” Flora choked out, her voice barely more than a whisper. Her hands lifted, almost on their own, to cover his where they rested against her cheeks. She leaned into his touch, feeling the comfort he offered. “I don’t know what to do now.”On the surface, it seemed so simple—call the police, report Alice for what she had done, and make sure she paid for her crimes. Let the authorities deal with the fallout. Flora knew it was the logical course of action, but everything inside her felt too broken to move forward. The weight of it all was crushing her. The grief for her mother, the shock of her father’s murder, the betrayal of a woman she had grown up thinking of as family. It was all to
