Rhea's Pov

The words hung in the air like a blade suspended above my head. I blinked at Ginny, my head was trying to wrap itself around the words Ginny uttered a few seconds ago. I wasn't Howard's biological daughter? How?

“Shut your mouth, Ginny!” Rachel snapped suddenly, her voice cracking like a whip. Her entire body shook as she pointed a trembling finger at Ginny, “You’ve said enough! Not another word from you!”

But Ginny only leaned back against her pillow, her laughter bubbling up again, wild, mocking, relentless, “Oh? Why so desperate, Rachel? Why so quick to silence me? If you have nothing to hide, then why are you so scared?”

“SHUT UP!” Rachel screamed this time, her voice raw, breaking under the weight of panic. She looked like a cornered animal, thrashing against invisible chains.

But Ginny ignored her. She tilted her head slowly, her eyes gleaming like a predator savoring its kill, then turned back to me.

“Rhea.” She said, drawing out my name like it was poison on her t

    Rhea's Pov Jason’s eyes widened, his whole body jerking at my words, “What?” His voice cracked, disbelief flickering across his face, “Human trafficking? Rhea, what are you talking about? I need you to explain this to me now!”I leaned back in my wheelchair, calm and unbothered. My smile didn’t falter, “Why should I?”Jason stepped forward, fists clenching harder, “Because you can’t just throw something like that and not explain! If you know something, then say it clearly. Don’t play games with me, Rhea.”I shook my head slowly, my smirk sharp, “No, Jason. If you want to know the truth so badly, then ask Howard yourself. The answers you want, they’re with him. Not me.”His brows pulled together, anger flashing in his eyes, “You expect me to just accept that?”“Yes.” My voice was steady, cold, “Because no matter how much you pressure me, the truth will reveal itself soon. I don’t even need to say a word. Before long, the whole world will know what Howard Thorne really is.”Jason’s nos

    Rhea's Pov I didn't stay a second longer in Ginny's ward. Since I already heard everything that needed to be heard, and coupled with the fact that I didn't want to be here for Howard's outburst, I just had to leave. I motioned to Fiona, asking her to push me out. We left unnoticeably, or so I thought because the moment we almost got to my own ward, Jason's voice stopped us. “Rhea!” Jason yelled, his voice echoing in the corridors, “Where are you going? We aren't done speaking.” I inwardly sighed, the throbbing in my head coming back. I raised my head and met Fiona's eyes, “You can push me around so I'll talk to him.” I murmured to her. Seconds later, I was facing Jason, and I stared at him without saying a word. But he couldn't take the silence. “I'm talking to you.” “And I am not obliged to give you an answer. I stopped, doesn't mean I have to entertain your words.” He stepped forward, about to say something but before he could I interrupted him, “By the way, why are you here w

    Rhea's Pov “Overheard it? Of course I did. If I didn't, how would I have been able to know that Rhea wasn't Howard's biological daughter?” Ginny snickered, her eyes turning to me, “Oh Rhea, I've kept this secret all these years, hoping to use it against you in the future but you just had to make me use it against you now. What a good plan you concocted there! Now do you see who the real daughter is?! You had revealed the fact that my mother was a servant but what about you? Your father came from the dirtiest place!” Ginny howled in laughter, pure bliss in her tone. I glanced at Howard, my lips pressed into a tight frown. He hadn't said anything yet. “Miss, what should we do now? Since Ginny is really telling the truth, then there will be lots of issues.” Fiona whispered. I let out a soft laugh, cold and sharp, cutting through Fiona’s whisper, “Issues?” I repeated, my lips curving faintly though my chest felt like it was being clawed apart, “If this causes issues big enough for How

    Rhea's Pov The room had gone utterly silent, save for Ginny’s ragged breathing. Her hair was wild, sticking to her tear-streaked face. Her eyes darted between Rachel, Howard, and Jason, but there was no shame there anymore, only raw, naked frenzy.Ginny’s voice cracked through the silence like thunder, “I lived in hell! Do you hear me? Do you know what it’s like to watch other children eat good food while you can only eat one food for three whole days? To wear clothes that stank of other people’s sweat? Do you know what it’s like to watch your mother clean up filth for the rich while you starve in the shadows? Everyone in that place insulted me. They called me poor, they said I was going to live in that little house forever with no hope of rising to the sky.” Ginny's voice went higher and higher the more she spoke, her hands gesturing about wildly. Then she raised her head up and stared squarely at me, the white of her eyes were completely bloodshot. “And then…” Ginny laughed, a sh

    Ginny's Pov “Ginny…” Rachel’s voice cracked, brittle and uncertain. She stepped closer, her gaze burning holes into me, “Tell me the truth. Did you know about all of this? Did you have any idea that you are Howard's biological daughter? I'm willing to believe you. I'm willing to let go of everything said here if you tell me that you had no idea. Okay?” I shook my head frantically, but my body betrayed me, my silence, my trembling hands, my tears. I couldn't say anything in response to Rachel's question, and that indirectly meant I admitted to everything. Rhea’s laughter sliced through me like glass, “See? She can’t even deny it properly.” Rhea tilted her head, her smile widening like a predator circling its prey, “She knew all along. She knew she was born of filth, and instead of embracing it, she wrapped herself in silks and pearls, pretending. All this time, she’s lived a lie. A rich daughter?” Her laughter grew louder, mocking, “More like a desperate fraud.”Rachel gasped, her i
