"You heard me perfectly clearly, Anthony," his father said, his voice deadly calm as he stepped into the light. "Stella is not Anna’s mother."

"Stop talking bullshit!" Anthony roared, his fingers clenching into tight, dangerous fists at his sides. "You don’t know what the hell you're talking about. She is Anna’s mom!"

A harsh, jagged laugh tore from his father’s chest. The old man shook his head, thoroughly amused by his son's explosive denial. "You can blindly believe whatever you want to beli

    The bedroom was silent, saved only for the rhythmic, gentle sound of Anna’s breathing. She had already fallen deeply asleep, her head resting securely against Anthony’s chest. Moving with absolute, painstaking caution, Anthony slowly slipped out from beneath her weight. He carefully adjusted the pillows to ensure she wouldn't wake up before gently gliding across the floor toward the counter.His eyes locked onto her bag. With a racing heart, he reached inside and pulled out Stella’s worn diary. He stared at the cover for a long moment, wondering if he should open it.Finally, he flipped it open.The initial pages were entirely filled with Stella’s mundane, personal thoughts, so he kept rapidly turning the pages over, searching. Suddenly, his eyes caught the exact passage he was looking for. Stella’s neat handwriting stared back at him:Will I eternally be punished by God for failing Anna? She isn't my biological daughter, but she will always be mine. Her real mother, Annabel, was so i

    "You heard me perfectly clearly, Anthony," his father said, his voice deadly calm as he stepped into the light. "Stella is not Anna’s mother.""Stop talking bullshit!" Anthony roared, his fingers clenching into tight, dangerous fists at his sides. "You don’t know what the hell you're talking about. She is Anna’s mom!"A harsh, jagged laugh tore from his father’s chest. The old man shook his head, thoroughly amused by his son's explosive denial. "You can blindly believe whatever you want to believe, Anthony, but she isn't. And I didn't kill her." Annoyance suddenly laced his voice as his posture stiffened. "And besides... how exactly did your mother react when she first laid eyes on Anna? She was completely paralyzed with shock, wasn't she?"Anthony’s eyes stretched wide, the breath hitching in his throat. "What... what the hell do you mean by that?""Nothing," his father whispered, a twisted, mocking grin stretching across his face. "Just that the girl vividly reminds your mother of h

    "Ma'am, you are completely mistaken," Anna said, her voice trembling slightly as she stepped back. "I... I have absolutely no idea who Annabel is."Anthony’s mother scoffed, her face twisting into a bitter, icy scowl. She took a step closer to Anna, her eyes drilling into the younger girl. "Annabel is—"Before the name could fully leave her lips, the heavy wooden door violently swung open. Anthony stepped into the room, his sharp gaze immediately scanning the tense space. The moment his eyes landed on Anna, the tight lines around his jaw softened."Anna, there you are," he said, breathing a small sigh of relief. "I’ve been looking all over for you."Anna swallowed the thick lump of anxiety in her throat, forcing a small, reassuring smile onto her face. "I just came by to drop something off for your mother.""Okay then," Anthony murmured. He turned his attention toward his mother, his posture turning rigid and professional. "Do you need anything else, Mother?"His mother frowned deepl

    Anthony let out a ragged breath, pulling her tightly against his chest for a suffocating hug. Anna wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him back, but her heart refused to calm down. The heavy, possessive weight of his words left her feeling completely unsettled.Five days passed in a tense, quiet blur."Ma'am Anna, this package just came in. It's addressed to the matriarch of the house," the housekeeper said, holding out a neatly wrapped box.Anna forced a small smile and took it from her. "Thank you. I'll take care of it."Left alone in the hallway, Anna stared down at the delivery, her mind filled with hesitation. It had been over five days since Anthony's mother had bluntly told her she wasn't wanted. Since that afternoon, Anna had gone out of her way to avoid crossing paths with her, staying confined to Anthony's wing of the estate.Maybe this can bridge the gap, Anna thought, trying to find some courage.Deciding to deliver it personally, she walked up the grand staircase

    "What?" Anthony asked, his head snapping toward his mother. Complete confusion crossed his features. "I should get her out of this house?" he repeated, wanting to make absolutely sure he had heard her correctly."Yes. I don’t feel safe around her," his mom replied flatly.The words hit Anna like a physical blow. A sharp sting pierced her heart, and hot tears instantly welled in her eyes as she looked down at the floor."You haven't even gotten to know her, and you're already saying this?" Anthony's voice dropped, a heavy hint of irritation cutting through his words as he stepped closer to Anna."I don't need to get to know her," his mother snapped back, crossing her arms defensively. "I don't like her, and I refuse to stay in this house if she is going to be here.""Mom, I think you really need to calm down," Lola chimed in quietly, looking nervously between them."No, I won't calm down! I can't sit back and watch my son make a massive mistake," she insisted. Her tone suddenly shifted

    The overwhelming excitement Anna had felt just moments ago completely faded, replaced by a deep, suffocating confusion. Anthony's mother was staring directly at her, her eyes stretched wide with a primal, breathless horror."Mom, breathe. That’s Anna, not Annabel. You're confusing her with someone else." Lola reached her mothers trembling arm."No! No!" Anthony’s mother shrieked, violently shaking her head as tears of pure terror spilled down her pale cheeks. She pointed a trembling, weak finger straight at Anna, her voice cracking under the weight of an old nightmare. "That is Annabel! How... how is she alive? She's back. She came back to take my husband away from me! I won't let her do it. I won't let her take him away from me no matter what!"Anna felt a cold sweat break out across her palms. Genuine fear gripped her chest, and she instinctively shrank back, moving closer to Anthony's side to seek shelter against his strong frame.Anthony's chest tightened. He wrapped his arm secur

    "I am sorry I am late," Anthony said, sliding into his chair. Opposite him, Mr. Jeffery didn't look up; he simply deepened the scowl etched into his face."I have been sitting here for over thirty minutes," Mr. Jeffery muttered, his voice dropping to a low, sharp edge. "You have never shown up to a

    “Wa...wait... wh... what?” Jake stuttered, his face twisting. “What is yours?” Anthony’s eyes turned pitch-black as he loomed over him, casting a long shadow.“You heard me loud and clear. Don’t you dare get close to what belongs to me,” Anthony growled. Jake scoffed and stumbled back a step, wipin

    "You can hear me clearly, Mrs. Anna. I want to see what you have prepared for this meeting," Anthony said. His voice was clipped, cutting through the silence of the room. Anna froze. Her heart hammered against her ribs. What was she supposed to present? She looked around the long table, her pul

    "You're back early," Jake muttered. He backed away from the woman, his body slackening as the heat of the moment died. Anna’s fingernails dug into her palms, drawing blood. She bit her lip so hard she tasted copper, fighting the urge to scream. "You couldn't even take it to a motel?" Her voice
