“That man just now….what was he doing here?” Ava asked. She had been in the neighborhood quite a while and had only interacted with Joe on ‘special occasions.’ She always thought he was a bit strange.

“Oh, that man? He said his name was Joe,” said Rose with an innocent smile. She explained, “It's a misunderstanding, actually. He thought I was a new neighbor moving in, and brought a pie to welcome me.” She lifted the pastry box to Ava's view.

Ava raised a brow “And?”

“Of course, I told him I was family and will be staying for a while.” She hesitated a bit before adding in a soft voice “Then he asked if we both could join him for dinner sometime. He had a weird smile”

“Something wrong?” Albert got out of the car.

“Oh nothing,” the two of them chorused with a smile. Rose stepped forward “Thank you, Mr. Albert Blackwood, for seeing my daughter back”

He mirrored her smile “No problem.”

“Join us for some morning tea?” She suggested. It was still quite early.

He politely declined, “I

    “What is it?” Ava asked, her tone heavy with unease. Liam drew in a deep breath, as if preparing himself to make an unlikely disclosure.He began “It's about the woman who was allegedly killed in this house.” Ava blinked, her voice shrinking to a whisper “Derah Paige?” She immediately remembered Amelia and the reason she snuck into Evie's room that day. She never expected to find Liam's results instead. But why was he suddenly bringing up her case? Did he find out who actually killed her? “That's right. Derah Paige” Liam answered with a nod. “The night before she died, the night you fell ill, she was in your room” Her eyes flew wide “My room? How do you—”“I could see, remember?” he clarified with an edge in his tone. Steadying his voice, he said “She came with the motive….of killing you, but she got frightened away when she saw me” “What?!” Ava's eyes dilated in horror, shock written all over her face. A sudden chill washed over her, her voice hoarse “She…she came to kill me?”

    “What? I completely forgot about that” Ava chuckled dryly. Albert hummed low, though he didn't believe a word she said. Who would forget being promised such a large amount? He told her politely “Thanks to you, Liam's surgery this afternoon was successful….” On the second floor landing, Thelma and Evie stood side by side, peering down through the railings at the scene below.“What do you think they’re talking about?” Evie asked, her voice laced with curiosity—They couldn't make out what they were saying. “I don't know” Thelma replied, her eyes narrowed. Her tone was stiff, irritated, as if the very sight of them at the table soured her mood. They both watched as the maids moved in silently to take out the plates and silver. Albert stood up from his seat, nodded to Liam, and then left the scene. It was just Ava and Liam alone together. Something about it made Evie's blood hitch. The silence between them was unnerving. Why did Albert have to leave? Now, they were drowning in an awkw

    Kain blinked twice. Not that marrying Evie had slipped from his mind, he just seldom put it into thought. Work had been hectic lately, with gathering up stocks and profits while handling investments. The thought of setting up the wedding soon gave him an idea. He nodded in response after a short while. “We haven't agreed on a date yet, but everything is coming up just fine” The car pulled over once they had gotten to Ava's place. “We're here,” Kain chimed as the engine hummed to a stop. “Thank you so much” Ava smiled. “I don't want to trouble you for later. I'll ask James to bring me back around evening time” He nodded at her, his eyes studying her. He instantly wished he knew what was going on in her head. It was almost impossible to read through her constant smiles. He responded “Sure,” and kicked start the engine. Ava waved him off and went in to meet Rose. She found her mother standing near the window where she was busy peeking through. She was still reeling from last time’s

    Ava stepped out of the house, her suitcase rolling quietly behind her. She never planned on leaving like this. It felt sudden even though she had served her time. The month was over. In truth, she wasn't wrong for going, but the abruptness made it sting. She simply didn't want to see his face for now and that hurt more. Liam was well enough. He didn’t need a caretaker anymore. When she reached the gates, Kain’s car pulled up. He stepped out just as she was about to pass, and their eyes locked. The look on Ava's face was unlike anything he had ever seen. She often had a sweet, happy expression, but right now, her eyes were clouded with sadness. His heart hitched. He had thought his plan to he flawless. Killing two birds with one stone. Not only would Ava's discovery and questioning lead to exposing the truth to him, but he would get to see Liam condemn himself in Ava's eyes by hiding the truth from her. But, what he hadn't anticipated was how Ava would have felt. He walked towar

    Ava walked into the tea room, her steps quiet but steady. The air smelled faintly of roses from the garden outside the large window panes. Thelma was seated comfortably gazing through the window at the yard as though she had not a care in the world. Her posture was relaxed, her hands folded neatly in her lap. For once, she allowed herself to breathe. After all, Kain had told her not to meddle in the household matters for now. And if Kain said not to act, she would simply sit still and let time run its course.“Madam Thelma,” Ava called softly.She blinked, pulling herself from her thoughts. She turned, her eyes flickering with curiosity before she gestured for Ava to join her.“Ava,” she said, her tone warm but laced with surprise. “What are you doing here?”Ava lowered herself into the seat opposite, and instantly, the memory of her first day in the mansion came rushing back. Thelma had been the first familiar face she encountered, the first voice that welcomed her warmly. But the
