Arabella couldn't move.

Damien stood in front of her with a gun in his hand, his expression cold and unreadable.

The man who had once promised to protect her was now pointing a weapon in her direction.

“Put the gun down,” she whispered.

“Give me the letter.”

“No.”

“Arabella, don't make this difficult.”

She glanced at Mr. Bennett, who was lying unconscious on the floor. Blood was spreading beneath his shoulder.

“Did you shoot him?”

Damien didn't answer.

“Damien!”

“He attacked me.”

“That's a lie!

    “Damien, please wake up!”Arabella pressed her trembling hands against his wound. Blood stained her fingers, and panic threatened to overwhelm her.“Don't you dare die on me!”His eyelids moved slightly.“Still… bossy,” he whispered.Arabella almost cried with relief.“Shut up. Save your strength.”He tried to smile, but the pain forced him to close his eyes again.Minutes later, an ambulance arrived. Paramedics rushed into the basement and placed Damien on a stretcher. Arabella followed them, refusing to let go of his hand.At the hospital, she waited outside the operating room.Her mind kept returning to the photograph.The night Damien was born, his real father chose which child would live.What did it mean?Was Damien supposed to die?Was she the child someone had tried to protect?And why had their fathers arranged everything around their births?Her phone vibrated.An unknown number.You should have left him in that basement.Another message followed.The next person who dies wi

    Arabella couldn't move.Damien stood in front of her with a gun in his hand, his expression cold and unreadable.The man who had once promised to protect her was now pointing a weapon in her direction.“Put the gun down,” she whispered.“Give me the letter.”“No.”“Arabella, don't make this difficult.”She glanced at Mr. Bennett, who was lying unconscious on the floor. Blood was spreading beneath his shoulder.“Did you shoot him?”Damien didn't answer.“Damien!”“He attacked me.”“That's a lie!”His jaw tightened.“You don't know what happened.”“I know what I saw. You came in here with a gun!”He stepped closer.“Give me the will.”Arabella picked up the envelope and held it against her chest.“You said you wanted to find the truth about our families. Was that all a lie?”“Not everything.”“Then tell me why you want this document.”“Because it belongs to me.”She laughed bitterly.“According to this letter, I'm Alexander Blackwood's daughter. The inheritance belongs to me.”“Your fat

    Arabella stepped backward.“Mr. Bennett?”The man standing in the doorway looked nothing like the lawyer she remembered. His expensive suit was wrinkled, his hair disheveled, and a small scar ran across his cheek.But his eyes were the same.“It's good to see you again, Miss Sinclair.”Arabella tightened her grip on the photograph.“You disappeared. We thought someone had killed you.”“People have tried.”“Who are you working for?”Mr. Bennett smiled.“That's a complicated question.”“Then make it simple.”He stepped inside and closed the door.“You need to leave Damien Blackwood.”Arabella frowned.“Why?”“Because your marriage is the final piece of a plan that began twenty-seven years ago.”She remembered the message on the wedding photograph.“Who planned it?”“Your father. Alexander Blackwood. And a third person.”“Who?”Mr. Bennett looked at her.“Your mother.”Arabella shook her head.“My mother was only trying to protect me.”“That's what she wants you to believe.”He approache

    Damien stared at the photograph.His wedding.Arabella stood beside him in a beautiful white gown, her hand resting on his arm. He wore a black tuxedo, looking exactly as he had on the day they signed their marriage contract.Except the date printed beneath the picture was six months earlier.“This is impossible,” Arabella whispered.Damien turned the photograph over again.YOUR MARRIAGE WAS NEVER A CONTRACT. IT WAS THE FINAL PART OF THE PLAN.“Someone is playing with us,” he said.“Who would have access to a photograph of our wedding?”“I don't know.”Arabella took the picture from him.“Look at my dress.”Damien glanced at it.“What about it?”“I haven't worn this gown before. But I've seen it.”She studied the delicate lace sleeves and the small pearl details along the waist.“Where?”“In my father's old belongings. There was a photograph of my mother wearing something similar.”Damien's expression changed.“Your mother?”Arabella nodded.“She had a wedding dress stored in an old t

    Damien didn't move.His gun remained pointed at Evelyn Sinclair, but his eyes had shifted toward the open doorway behind him.“There's nobody behind me,” he said coldly.Evelyn shook her head.“Damien, please. Don't turn around.”Arabella's breathing became shallow. She looked past Damien, toward the dark hallway.A shadow moved.Then a familiar voice spoke.“Hello, sweetheart.”Damien froze.He knew that voice.He had heard it in childhood memories, in old recordings, and in the dreams that haunted him after his mother's funeral.Slowly, he turned.A woman stood in the doorway.She wore a black dress, her dark hair tied neatly behind her head. Her face was older, but unmistakable.“Mother?”The woman smiled.“My beautiful boy.”Damien lowered his gun slightly.“Evelyn?”“Of course.”Arabella looked between the two women.They had almost identical faces.But one stood near the desk, trembling with tears, while the other looked perfectly calm.“Which one of you is my mother?” Arabella

    “Call an ambulance!” Arabella screamed.Damien was already on the phone, giving the address and demanding immediate assistance. He knelt beside Victoria and pressed a hand against the wound on her chest.“Stay with us,” he ordered. “Do you hear me?”Victoria's lips moved, but no words came out.Arabella held her other hand. “Please, don't die. You still owe us answers.”Victoria's eyes slowly shifted toward her.For a moment, the older woman seemed to recognize something in Arabella's face. Her fingers tightened weakly.“Blue…” she whispered.Arabella leaned closer. “What?”“Blue room…”Then Victoria's eyes closed.“Victoria?”Damien checked her pulse.“She’s alive,” he said. “Barely.”The ambulance arrived minutes later. Paramedics rushed Victoria out while security personnel searched the estate. Damien insisted on accompanying her to the hospital, but Arabella caught his arm.“We need to talk.”“Not now.”“She said something about a blue room.”“I heard her.”“What does it mean?”Da
