Chapter 61

AVAThe next day, I decided it was time to confront Uncle John and Davies. I knew it wouldn't be easy, but I couldn't just sit back while Liam remained locked away in that asylum. The truth was on my side, and I had to fight for it. I found them both in the sitting room, deep in conversation. The tension in the air was palpable as I walked in, determined to finally make my stand.“Uncle John,” I began, my voice steady but filled with determination, “Liam doesn’t need to be in the asylum. He’s not violent. There’s no reason for him to be there.”John looked up from his seat, his expression darkening. “Not this nonsense again, Ava,” he snapped, his voice filled with impatience. “You’ve started spewing your rubbish once more. Haven’t you learned by now?”Davies, lounging on the couch with a smug grin, chuckled derisively. “Pathetic,” he sneered. “You look utterly pathetic doing this, Ava. Do you think anyone here takes you seriously?”But I didn’t waver. I wasn’t going to be intimidated

AVAAs I walked out of the hearing, the sense of relief I felt was fleeting, quickly replaced by a wave of exhaustion and anxiety. The small victory was just that—small. Liam was still not free, and I knew Uncle John wouldn’t let this go without a fight. He was a man accustomed to having control, and now that control was slipping. I could see it in his eyes, the way his jaw clenched as the board announced their decision. But I had to keep pushing. For Liam’s sake, I couldn’t afford to stop now.The next few days were a blur of frantic planning and cautious anticipation. I couldn’t shake the feeling that John was plotting something, that he wouldn’t take the board’s decision lying down. He was too powerful, too connected. I had to be ready for whatever he threw at me next.One afternoon, as I sat in my room, sifting through the notes and documents I had gathered, a knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. I tensed, expecting the worst. But when I opened the door, it was Clara standin

AVAThe sizzling of the eggs in the pan was the only sound in the kitchen as I stood at the stove, trying to keep my thoughts focused on breakfast. I had been up for hours, tossing and turning, my mind restless with everything that had happened with Liam. The mornings were the worst—when the quiet made it impossible to escape my own thoughts.Just as I was about to plate the eggs, the doorbell rang, jolting me out of my reverie. I glanced at the clock on the wall; it was early. Far too early for visitors. I wiped my hands on my apron and headed to the front door, my heart beating a little faster with each step.When I opened the door, I was greeted by an elderly woman with a polite smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. Her gaze was sharp, assessing, as if she were sizing me up. She wore a tailored coat and had a scarf draped around her neck, her appearance meticulously put together despite the early hour.“Good morning,” she said in a smooth, almost too-friendly tone. “You must be A

AVAAs I entered the dining room, I felt a familiar tension prickling under my skin. The long mahogany table was set with gleaming silverware and fine china. It was a typical family dinner, or at least as typical as they ever got around here. Tonight, however, felt different. There was an undercurrent of something—an unspoken unease that made my pulse quicken.Eleanor was already seated at the head of the table, her back straight as a rod, her eyes bright with an unsettling intensity. Her presence in the house had been an unexpected surprise, and it didn’t feel like a pleasant one at that. She had swept in with a kind of quiet authority, claiming she was here to "support the family during these difficult times." The rest of the family slowly trickled in, taking their places around the table. Uncle John settled to Eleanor’s right, looking as gruff and brooding as ever. Across from him, Davies and Clara lounged in their chairs with a smug grin on their faces, looking like they enjoyed

AVAThe facility Liam was transferred to felt like a breath of fresh air compared to the suffocating walls of the asylum. It wasn’t as sterile or cold; the rooms were painted in soft pastels, and the windows actually let in sunlight. When I arrived, a nurse led me to the courtyard where Liam sat, bathed in the afternoon glow, surrounded by flowers and gentle whispers of a breeze.As I walked closer, I could see him more clearly. His shoulders, once hunched over with despair and confusion, were now slightly relaxed. His hair, usually a mess, was combed, and there was a soft smile on his lips. He looked... almost at peace.Liam was sitting cross-legged on the soft grass, his face turned up to the sun, eyes closed, a faint smile playing on his lips. Here, in the more relaxed facility, he almost looked like the Liam I used to know—still there, just beneath the surface.I walked over, careful not to disturb his quiet moment. The sound of the gravel crunching under my feet made him open his

Chapter 66

AVADays had passed since I last visited Liam. Each day had felt longer than the one before, dragging on with a sense of dread that I couldn’t shake. My mind was filled with Eleanor’s cryptic remarks from the first dinner she had with us, her words echoing in my head like a sinister lullaby.Tonight, the mansion was eerily quiet. The kind of quiet that fills a space when everyone else has gone to bed, leaving behind a hollow stillness. I was restless, unable to sleep with so many questions swirling in my mind. I decided to take a walk down the hallway, hoping the movement would help clear my thoughts.As I wandered down the dimly lit corridor, my footsteps barely making a sound on the plush carpet, I heard faint voices. I stopped, straining to make out the words. The voices were coming from John’s study, the door slightly ajar. I took a step closer, pressing myself against the wall, my heart thudding in my chest.“…too reckless, John,” Eleanor’s voice hissed from inside the room. Her

AVAI sat in the dimly lit library, my heart pounding as I rifled through the stacks of old family records and documents. The mansion was asleep, but my mind was wide awake, driven by a single purpose: uncovering the truth about Eleanor and what she was hiding or better still, plotting.Tamy had managed to help me gain access to these records, sneaking the key to the library from John’s study while he was distracted. Mark had suggested the idea and right now he was around, ransacking the house downstairs for clues.The Tysons had gone out for what I hope was an eventful family outing without me. And truthfully I was happy they didn’t invite me to their little gathering. I needed time to gather evidences and get Liam out of that place and time wasn’t by my side.I knew that this was risky, and if anyone caught I and Mark, it would raise more than a few eyebrows, but I had to know more about Eleanor. Her behavior had been too calculated, her knowledge too specific. She wasn’t just a pa

Chapter 68

AVAI had waited long enough. Days had passed since I uncovered Eleanor’s dark secrets in the library, and every minute since then had been filled with a mix of anger, fear, and a relentless drive to confront her. Eleanor might have fooled the entire world with her calm demeanor and carefully crafted lies, but I knew better now. I needed answers, and I needed them directly from her.The mansion was unusually quiet as I made my way through the grand hallways. Everyone else seemed to have gone out or retired to their rooms. This was the perfect moment to catch Eleanor alone, to make her face the truth without any of her usual defenses. I found her in the drawing room, standing by the large bay window, staring out at the darkening sky. She didn’t hear me approach, her back turned to me, the only sound in the room the soft ticking of the grandfather clock.“Eleanor,” I called out, my voice steady despite the storm brewing inside me.She turned slowly, her expression calm but curious. “Ava

AVA Dinner was a quiet affair that evening. The clinking of silverware against fine china was the only sound that echoed through the dimly lit dining room. My appetite had vanished, replaced by a gnawing sense of dread that curled in the pit of my stomach. Eleanor sat across from me, her eyes like cold steel as they flickered over the table. Every word she spoke was laced with an edge that no one else seemed to notice, but it cut into me like a knife. I knew she was watching me, calculating. Her presence had become unbearable, her silence even more so. The tension in the air was palpable, and I could feel her eyes on me as I forced down another bite, trying to appear unbothered. But deep down, I knew something was coming. Something I wasn’t prepared for. As the meal drew to a close, the others excused themselves one by one, retreating to their respective corners of the mansion. I lingered a moment longer, hesitating to leave the table, dreading the inevitable encounter with Eleanor

Chapter 70

The fluorescent lights in the boardroom of the mental asylum flickered slightly, casting a cold, sterile light over the long wooden table where the board members sat. Ava stood at one end of the room, her hands gripping the edges of a file folder that held weeks' worth of work and hope. Beside her, Mark adjusted his glasses and gave her a small nod of encouragement. They were about to present their findings—evidence that could change Liam’s fate.Ava took a deep breath. “Thank you all for meeting with us today,” she began, her voice steady but charged with emotion. “We have compelling evidence that my husband, Liam, is not a violent man. His recent outbursts were caused by being drugged, not because of any inherent mental instability.”She opened the folder and began passing out copies of the report Mark had meticulously compiled. The board members, a mix of doctors, administrators, and legal experts, took the documents and scanned them with varying levels of interest and skepticism.
