Rhea's Pov

“Really?!” I echoed, flabbergasted. My heart was thumping now for a different reason, one I couldn’t quite name. Was it excitement? Suspicion? Dread for what I knew was to come?

Fiona let out a tired sigh, “Yes. But it’s… complicated.”

“What sort of revenge are we talking about here?” I asked, narrowing my eyes even though she couldn’t see me, “Are we talking legal action, corporate sabotage, or some blood feud where I’m supposed to show up in a red dress with a dagger?”

There was a beat of silence, and then Fiona chuckled, but there was no humor in it, “Honestly, I wish it were that straightforward. But it’s better if you hear it from them directly. It's a family issue, and from what I gathered... it runs deep. Like, years of betrayal and buried secrets deep.”

I exhaled slowly, leaning back into the pillows. My headache throbbed in time with my rising anxiety, “Family issues always are.” I muttered, mostly to myself.

“Exactly ” Fiona confirmed, “They don’t trust easily. T

    Rhea's Pov I stepped closer to the car door, shielding Neveah from their view, even if they couldn't see her. "How do you know my daughter's name? Who the hell are you people?"The older man shifted his weight on his walking stick. He looked at me with a mix of sadness and another emotion that looked like pride."We have missed a great deal of her life," he said quietly. I gripped the handle of the car door behind me. "I will ask you one more time," I said, my voice cold and sharp. "Who are you? And why did you chase me down?” The woman took a slow step forward. She didn't look offended by my tone. She looked like she expected it."My name is Maria Morrieti," she said. She stood tall, her eyes fixed on mine. "I am Neveah’s grandmother. And this man beside me is her grandfather, James Morrieti.” The world seemed to go quiet for a second. Morrieti. I knew that name from the deep files Alaric had shown me. They weren't just nobility; they were a power that rivaled even the Millers in

    Rhea's Pov I hung up the phone and tossed it onto the phone holder. "Stupid," I hissed under my breath. "He really thinks he's winning. He really thinks I'm that weak to want to depend on someone like him. What a foolish man." I looked at Neveah in the rearview mirror. She was looking out the window, swinging her legs. "Put your seatbelt on, baby," I said. "We have to go." "Are we going back home?" she asked, pulling the strap across her chest. "Yes, baby. We don't have anything else to do out here.” I started the car and drove out of the parking lot. I wasn't going to meet Leon anywhere. I turned onto the main road. The traffic was light. I was driving for about five minutes when Neveah leaned forward. "Mommy?" "Yes, baby?" "That black car is playing follow the leader," she said in her sweet, childish voice. "It went into the left lane when you did. And now it's back in the right lane with us." My heart stopped for a second. I looked at the side mirror. A black SUV with tin

    Rhea's Pov I stared at the DNA report in my hands, holding them tightly, even almost crumpling the paper. I wasn't just going to let them give me a test and push it as true without me doing a test of my own. I wasn't that naive. I had conducted my own silent investigation after I had gotten their test reports. I had personally cut the hair samples. I had taken the saliva swabs and even the fingernail clippings from Julian when I was "comforting" him at the hospital. I had kept those samples in my own possession, locked in a safe-box that never left my sight until I handed them over to Nathan. Nathan was the only one I trusted with this. I didn't even tell anyone the name of the secondary hospital I used. Nathan had delivered the samples under a pseudonym, ensuring that no one, not even the lab technicians, knew whose blood they were handling. There was absolutely no way they could have tampered with these results, and yet, the results were identical. The report in my hand was the

    Rhea's Pov. I turned on my heel, but I didn't make it two steps before Alaric’s hand shot out. He caught my wrist, his grip firm but careful, and pulled me back into his chest. His arms wrapped around me. "Let go, Alaric," I hissed, my body vibrating with anger. "Did you see that? Did you see the board? The way he looked at those photos?""I saw it, Rhea," he murmured against my hair, his voice low. "He’s creepy!" I shouted, finally slamming my open palms against the marble island with a sound that echoed through the kitchen. "He’s been stalking me! He stole my handkerchief, Alaric! He was... he was sniffing it like some kind of sick animal." Alaric didn't let go. Instead, he began to slowly pat my back, a rhythmic, calming motion that felt at odds with the storm inside me. "I know. I know it’s revolting. But you need to breathe. Look at me, Rhea."I pulled back just enough to see his face. His eyes were dark, filled with a cold, calculated intensity."Calm your anger just for a

    Rhea's Pov. "Someone claimed you as his daughter?" Alaric repeater slowly. "Can you actually explain what you mean by that? How could someone you don't know 'claim' you as his daughter?" Alaric poked his head out of the kitchen where he was doing the dishes, confusion on his face was as clear as day. I told him everything that happened, from Arthur fainting to the man, Julian saying I was his daughter and he listened attentively, not even interrupting. After I finished, the whole kitchen turned silent, so silent that even the drop of a pin could easily be heard."So, do you think you and the man hold any form of resemblance?" Alaric questioned. "Yes. I even took a picture when he wasn't looking so I could show you." I pulled my phone from my pocket and I navigated to the gallery and opened the photo I’d managed to snap in the hospital room. I slid the device across the marble countertop toward Alaric.He dried his hands on a towel and picked it up. He squinted at the screen, his ga

    Rhea's Pov"What the hell is going on? Why are you both staring at me like that?!" The younger man, the one who had just burst in calling Arthur "Dad" didn't move. He just stared at me with an expression that shifted from shock to hope. He straightened his disheveled coat as he took a tentative step toward me. Before I could demand an explanation again, he reached out. His hands were large, steadying, and warm as they enveloped mine. He gripped them with a desperation that made my skin crawl. "You're my daughter," he whispered, his voice thick with a sudden, overwhelming emotion. "You’re my child." I felt like he had slapped me. For a moment, my brain simply refused to process the words. I blinked, looking at his face, then down at his hands on mine. "What?" I finally croaked. Then, the shock snapped into a sharp, cold rejection. I violently slapped his hands away and scrambled back until my spine hit the cold hospital wall. "Are you crazy?! Get away from me! How can I be your da
