Chapter 341

For weeks now I had been watching her like a shadow, documenting every movement, every visitor, every secret conversation she thought was hidden behind the walls of my father’s mansion.

Easily distracted.

The video ended again.

Silence returned to the study.

I sat there for a long moment, staring at the blank screen, the glow slowly dimming as the phone slipped toward sleep mode.

Something about tonight felt different.

Heavier.

My head began to throb faintly, a dull pressure

  • HE LEFT ME FOR MY STEPSISTER, I MOVED ON TO THE NEXT   Chapter 467

    Chapter 467I closed my eyes. Nathan's face immediately appeared in my mind.His smile. His voice. The way he held my hand when I was frightened. The way he had cried when Athena was born. The way he had promised me that we would face every difficulty together. I remembered the promise we had made to each other.We would live together. We would grow old together and if life ever became difficult, we would face it side by side.I could almost hear his voice.Elena, you are never facing anything alone.A sob escaped me, "I'm sorry, Nathan."The words came silently inside my heart. “Please forgive me.”I knew he would never forgive himself if anything happened to me but I also knew that if I walked away from Athena, I would never forgive myself.I opened my eyes. Mia was still watching me."Please..." My voice trembled, "Let me see her face."Mia didn't move. I wiped my tears and continued."Just once." I looked directly at Athena. "I want to see my daughter properly."My voice became qu

  • HE LEFT ME FOR MY STEPSISTER, I MOVED ON TO THE NEXT   Chapter 466

    Chapter 466Mia's jaw tightened, "You think I don't know that?""Then let her go.""I can't.""Why?""Because I've come too far."I shook my head, "You haven't come too far to stop."Mia laughed quietly, "You really don't understand me.""Then help me understand." I looked at her desperately, "Tell me what you want from me.""I want you to feel what I felt."I swallowed, "I have suffered too.""But you always had someone." Her voice became bitter, "You always had people willing to protect you. People willing to love you. People willing to stand beside you."She looked around the abandoned factory, "And now you have Nathan."My heart clenched at his name, "You have a husband who would tear the world apart for you."She looked down at Athena, "And now you have a daughter." Her eyes returned to mine, "Everything I ever wanted to have, you seemed to have without even trying."I shook my head, "Mia, you don't know my life.""Maybe I know enough.""No." I took a breath, "You don't know how

  • HE LEFT ME FOR MY STEPSISTER, I MOVED ON TO THE NEXT   Chapter 465

    Chapter 465Mia finally stepped out of the darkness.For a moment, I couldn't move.My eyes were fixed on her as she slowly emerged from behind one of the damaged concrete walls. Her appearance had changed since the last time I had seen her. She looked thinner, more exhausted, and there was something unsettling in her eyes that made my stomach tighten. Yet none of that mattered when I noticed what she was carrying.A baby.She held the tiny bundle against her chest, wrapped carefully in a familiar shawl.My breath caught. I knew that shawl.I had wrapped it around Athena countless times in the hospital. I had watched Nathan place it around our daughter whenever he carried her from one side of the room to another. The fabric was pale, soft, and had a small embroidered pattern near one corner that I could recognize from across the room.My hands flew to my mouth."No..." The word escaped me as tears immediately filled my eyes.Mia stopped several feet away. She looked directly at me. Th

  • HE LEFT ME FOR MY STEPSISTER, I MOVED ON TO THE NEXT   Chapter 464

    Chapter 464"You?" Her laughter became louder, "The great Elena Rivers is begging me?"I closed my eyes briefly, "I don't care what you think of me.""You should." She said. "I only care about my daughter."The silence returned.Then Mia spoke again, "That's exactly why you're here."I looked around desperately, "Where are you?""Closer than you think." I turned toward another doorway.Nothing."Mia, please." I said already frustrated."Why are you crying already?" She said mockingly."Because you took my baby." My voice rose, "Because I haven't held her in days. Because I don't know whether she's cold or hungry or frightened. Because I don't know if she's sleeping. I don't know if she has heard her mother's voice."I wiped my tears again, "And you're standing somewhere watching me fall apart."Mia remained silent. I took a shaky breath, "I don't understand why you hate me this much.""You never did." She asked like she needed validation."I never wanted to hurt you." I answered.Mia

  • HE LEFT ME FOR MY STEPSISTER, I MOVED ON TO THE NEXT   Chapter 463

    Chapter 463I continued anyway, "Athena?" My voice broke.I stopped walking, then closed my eyes. For a moment, I imagined hearing her cry.My heart immediately reacted, "Athena?"I turned toward the sound…. Nothing.I took another step, "Athena, sweetheart, it's Mommy."My voice became softer, "I came for you."But I was met with an unfortunate silence. Tears began gathering in my eyes."Please..." I wiped one away, "Please don't do this to me."I didn't know whether I was speaking to Mia or to whatever cruel situation had brought me into that building.I continued moving until I reached what appeared to be the center of the factory.There was a large open room surrounded by several smaller spaces. A few broken chairs lay scattered across the floor. One old table stood against the wall, covered in dust.I looked around, "Mia?" No response.I felt my hope beginning to collapse, "You said you had Athena."My voice trembled, "You said she was here."I slowly turned in a circle, "Where i

  • HE LEFT ME FOR MY STEPSISTER, I MOVED ON TO THE NEXT   Chapter 462

    Chapter 462I knew I had reached the right place the moment I saw the building.My car slowed as I approached the address, and for several seconds I simply stared through the windshield, trying to convince myself that I had somehow made a mistake.An abandoned factory stood ahead of me, surrounded by tall weeds and tangled vegetation that had almost swallowed the property. The once-large windows were broken, some completely missing their glass. Parts of the walls were stained from years of rain, while thick vines crawled across the concrete as though nature had slowly been reclaiming the entire building. The roof looked damaged in several places, and even from where I sat inside the car, I could see sections of the structure that appeared dangerously unstable.I switched off the engine and silence immediately surrounded me.I looked at the building again. This was where Mia had told me to come. This was where she claimed my daughter was.My hand remained on the steering wheel as fear
