Liliana

I woke up to the sound of voices downstairs. For a moment, panic shot through me as I remembered the events of the past few days, but then I recognized Anastasia's voice mixed with Mikhail's deeper tones. Relief flooded through me as I realized she must have been discharged from the hospital.

I stretched carefully, feeling the soreness in my muscles and the tender spot on my temple where the bandage still covered my wound. The clock on the nightstand showed it was past midnight. What was Anastasia doing here so late?

I slipped out of bed quietly, not wanting to interrupt their conversation but curious about what they were discussing. As I approached the top of the stairs, I could hear them more clearly.

"I couldn't stand being there another minute," Anastasia was saying. "Those hospital beds are torture devices, and the nurses kept waking me up every hour. I figured I'd heal better at home."

"At home? But you weren't at home. You were out." Mikhail's voice carried a tone I'd r

    Mikhail"We have to kill her," Anastasia said, pacing back and forth in my study like a caged predator. The morning sun streamed through the windows, but it did nothing to warm the ice in my veins.I'd barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Liliana's face when I told her to leave. The pain, the betrayal, the way her love had turned to bitter disappointment right before my eyes."No," I said firmly, not looking up from the whiskey glass in my hands. It was my fourth one since dawn, but the alcohol wasn't helping. Nothing was helping."She's a liability, Mikhail. She knows too much, she's unstable, and she'll never stop trying to destroy this family.""She's still family," I said, though the words felt like ash in my mouth."Family?" Anastasia stopped pacing and stared at me. "After what she tried to do to you? After she nearly succeeded in raping you?""She was desperate," I said quietly. "Desperate people do desperate things.""That doesn't excuse what she did!" She snapped.

    LilianaI walked through the empty streets with nowhere to go. My feet hurt in these expensive heels, and the midnight blue dress that had made me feel beautiful earlier now felt like a costume I couldn't take off.The city looked different at night. Darker, colder, more dangerous. Street lamps cast long shadows that seemed to reach for me like grasping fingers. Every sound made me jump, a car engine, footsteps behind me, the distant wail of sirens.I had no money, no phone, nothing but the clothes on my body. Mikhail had sent me away with nothing, just like my father had done months ago. The irony wasn't lost on me.After walking for what felt like hours, I found myself in Central Park. The benches were mostly empty except for a few homeless people sleeping under newspapers and cardboard. I sat down on a bench near a streetlight, pulling my knees up to my chest.The metal was cold against my back, and the October wind cut through my thin dress like ice. But the physical cold was noth

    MikhailI sat on the front steps of the manor, my head in my hands, trying to make sense of the mess my life had become. The October air was cold against my skin, but I barely felt it. Everything inside me was numb, like I'd been hit by lightning and was still trying to figure out if I was alive.My whole life was a lie. Every relationship, every choice, every moment of happiness, all of it had been manipulated by the woman I trusted most in the world. The woman who raised me. The woman I called family."Mikhail?" Liliana's voice came from behind me, soft and careful like she was approaching a wounded animal.I didn't turn around. I couldn't look at her right now. Because the worst part of all this wasn't what Anastasia had done to Maria or Elena or Sofia. The worst part was not knowing if what Liliana and I had was real."Are you okay?" she asked, sitting down beside me on the cold stone steps.I laughed, but it came out cracked and bitter. "Am I okay? My aunt just confessed to manip

    LilianaI watched Mikhail disappear up the stone stairs like he was running from a fire. His footsteps echoed in the darkness until they faded away completely. The silence that followed was thick and heavy, like a blanket made of fear."Well," Katarina said from her metal chair, her voice dripping with satisfaction. "That went better than I expected."I turned to look at her, this woman who looked so much like Anastasia but felt so different. Her eyes were bright with cruel joy, like she'd just won some twisted game."You're enjoying this," I said, my voice shaking with disgust. "You're actually happy that you just destroyed him.""I didn't destroy him," she replied sweetly. "I freed him. For the first time in his life, Mikhail is seeing the truth about his precious Aunt Anastasia.""The truth?" I laughed, but it came out bitter and ugly. "You tried to rape him! You're a monster!" I yelled, my throat hurting."And she's a manipulative control freak who stole his entire life!" Katarina

    MikhailThe look in Liliana's eyes was like a knife twisting in my gut. I could see the doubt creeping in, the questions forming. Katarina's poison was already working, even from that metal chair."Liliana," I started, but she held up her hand to stop me."Is it true?" she asked, her voice was so quiet that I could barely hear it. "Did Anastasia make other women disappear from your life?"I wanted to lie. God, how I wanted to lie. But after everything we'd been through tonight, after all the lies that had already been told, I couldn't add another one."Yes," I whispered. "But it wasn't like that. It wasn't what you think."The pain that flashed across her face was worse than any physical blow I'd ever taken. "Then what was it like, Mikhail? Tell me the truth. All of it."I looked at Anastasia, who was standing in the shadows like a ghost. She gave me a small nod, as if giving me permission to finally speak."There were three women," I said, my voice cracking. "Maria, Elena, and Sofia.

    LilianaI sat in the back seat of Anastasia's black car as we drove back to the manor, watching Mikhail hold Katarina's unconscious body in his arms. She looked so peaceful, like she was just sleeping. It was hard to believe this woman had tried to destroy our lives."Is she going to wake up soon?" I asked, my voice shaking. I couldn't stop staring at her face. She looked exactly like Anastasia, but somehow different. "The drug will keep her out for a few more hours," Anastasia said from the driver's seat. Her knuckles were white as she gripped the steering wheel. "Long enough for us to get her secured.""Secured where?" I asked, though part of me already knew the answer.Mikhail's jaw was tight as stone. Even with everything that he’d gone through tonight, he still managed to look breathtaking. His long, dark hair was tangled, falling over his face like a waterfall. "The basement. Where my family has always dealt with traitors." His voice was cold and menacing. I could feel the rag
