더 보기David’s breath came in shallow, uneven gulps, his mind racing to process what stood before him.She looked the same.Same body. Same voice.But everything else—everything else—was different.Then, she spoke again.“I’m Lilly,” she said.Her voice was soft. Sweet.And yet—David felt his stomach turn.There was something profoundly wrong about the way she said it, the way her lips curled into a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes.It wasn’t warmth.It was something else entirely.Something unsettling.Something inhuman.His jaw clenched.Lilly let out a quiet hum as she studied him, tilting her head ever so slightly.“When Lia asked you a question earlier,” she murmured, “you didn’t answer.”David stiffened.Then, to his absolute confusion—She crouched down and extended a hand.And before he could even think to resist—She helped him up.His body tensed the moment he was on his feet.He had expected her to attack him, to lash out with the same violent fury Lia had displayed earlier
David exhaled sharply, his mind grasping for something—anything—to ground himself in logic.He had endured countless interrogations before. Had flipped the tables on people who thought they could outsmart him.But this—This was different.Nothing about Lia’s words made sense, yet she carried them with such conviction that a sliver of doubt wormed its way into his mind.No.He refused to entertain it.His jaw tightened as he eyed her warily. “Are you really saying the truth about Lilliana being dead?” His voice was edged with forced skepticism. “Because that sounds off. Anything that can’t be scientifically proven isn’t real, man.”Lia stared at him, unfazed.Then she shrugged.“I’m Lilliana’s split personality,” she said as if she were discussing the weather. “The emotional part of her that you took away.” She tapped her temple. “And the one inside me now is Lilly—the actual owner of this body.”She uttered it so casually.Like it was normal.Like it was a simple fact.David’s skin p
David’s mind raced.Evelyn is alive.How?How the hell did she know that?He had planned to use that revelation when the time was right, to control the narrative. But somehow—somehow—this woman had figured it out first.His jaw clenched.What else does she know?Before he could demand answers, Lia clapped her hands together, startling him.“Enough talking,” she chirped. “Time for some action.”David’s spine stiffened as he immediately moved to press his notification button—or at least, what should have been his failsafe. His way to alert his men that he was in trouble.Except—His fingers met nothing.His pulse spiked.His eyes darted downward—The device was gone.His head snapped up, but before he could mask his shock, Lia smirked, lifting her hand—And dangled the sleek, black device in front of his face.“Ohh,” she cooed mockingly, twirling it between her fingers. “Looking for this?”David’s eyes darkened.She had pickpocketed him.When? How? He hadn’t even felt it.Lia clicked he
Lia shrugged, picking up another dumpling. “I don’t know.” She stuffed it into her mouth, chewing thoughtfully before adding, “It’s not like I’m a doctor or something.”Lilly huffed. “It’s already been hours. You do realize Ray is probably shitting his pants out of worry right now, right?”Lia’s lips twitched. “Mmm.” She pointed her chopsticks at David’s unconscious form. “He should be worried about this one, not me.”Lilly groaned. “That’s not how this works, Lia! Kidnapping someone and eating dumplings in the same room like it’s a casual Tuesday is not normal.”Lia snorted. “And being experimented on by a psychopath is?”Before Lilly could retort, a groggy groan cut through the air.Lia paused mid-bite, her gaze snapping toward David. His fingers twitched, his eyelids fluttering open as he struggled to lift his head.Lia chewed slower, her eyes gleaming with curiosity.David’s vision was still blurry, his head pounding. He blinked rapidly, trying to make sense of his surroundings. T
Evelyn lifted her chin, refusing to cower under his glare. “I did what I had to do,” she said evenly. “I’m not going to sit around while my daughter is missing.” Ray let out a harsh, disbelieving laugh, running a hand through his disheveled hair. “Unbelievable. Can’t you just stay put and not cause more trouble, mother-in-law?” His voice dripped with sarcasm, but beneath it was pure frustration. “Everything became a damn mess the moment you showed up yesterday morning, and now you want to add more to it?” Evelyn’s expression didn’t waver. “I’m going to them because they’re related to her father,” she stated firmly. “And they can thoroughly help.” Ray’s head snapped toward her, his eyes dark with fury. For a moment, there was only silence, thick with tension. Then, in a low, dangerous voice, he said, “You better be kidding me right now.” Evelyn crossed her arms. “I’m not.” Ray took a step closer, his pulse hammering. “My wife is a part of the Russos?” Evelyn met his stare head-
Ana lowered her gaze, her lips trembling as if she were holding back a flood of emotions. For a moment, the room was silent, save for the subtle hitch in her breath. Then, in a voice just above a whisper, she murmured, “I only care because I love him.”Mitchell’s eyes narrowed. Here we go.Ana’s shoulders shook as if she were barely keeping herself together. She lifted a delicate hand to her face, dabbing at her dry eyes as though they were brimming with unshed tears. “I—I never wanted to cause trouble,” she continued, her voice thick with feigned sorrow. “I just… I can’t help how I feel.”She turned to Grandpa Manchester, her gaze pleading. “I know I’m selfish,” she whispered. “I know I shouldn’t feel this way. But if Ray truly loves his wife, then I—” She let out a small, pitiful sob. “I’ll do my best… to fall out of love with him.”Another dramatic sniffle.“I swear,” she choked out. “I’ll let him go. I’ll let my feelings die, even if it breaks me.”With that, she covered her face
Before either man could respond, there was a knock at the door. A moment later, the butler stepped in with a polite bow.“Sir, Miss Ana has arrived. She requests an audience with you.”Grandpa Manchester smirked, already anticipating the tension this would stir. “Let her in.”Mitchell turned to him sharply, eyes blazing. “Father, can you stop using Ana to bother your grandson already? He has enough on his plate without you constantly dangling her in front of him like some sort of temptation.”Grandpa Manchester merely raised an eyebrow, clearly unfazed by her outburst.Mitchell pressed on. “Making him look like a cheat to his wife isn’t going to help anyone. The world already believes he’s divorcing Liliana for Ana. Do you have any idea what that could do to her, especially now?”Andrew crossed his arms, nodding in agreement. “She’s right, Father. If you keep pushing Ana into this, you’re only adding fuel to the fire. Liliana is already dealing with the revelation of her true identity
Mitchell stared at her father in disbelief. “Wait… you know Evelyn Altee?”Grandpa Manchester let out a low chuckle, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the armrest of his chair. “Know her? Oh, Mitchell, everyone in my circle knows Evelyn Altee—though most wish they didn’t.”Andrew, who had been silently processing everything, finally spoke up. “What do you mean by that?”Grandpa Manchester leaned forward, his expression darkening. “Evelyn Altee isn’t just some ordinary woman. She was once one of the most cunning and unpredictable players in high society. Some saw her as a tragic figure, others as a ruthless manipulator. But one thing was certain—wherever she went, chaos followed. And I can one forget the woman who made one of the Russo men break away from his family all in the name of love “Mitchell scoffed, crossing her arms. “Well, that explains a lot. Liliana has been through hell because of that woman. She’s been led to believe her mother was dead for years, only to find ou
Helena turned to her mother, stunned. Even she’s taking his side?Matilda’s expression was unreadable as she nodded. “Stay off the media. Don’t make things worse.”A hot, bitter rage bubbled inside Helena’s chest.Are they not satisfied with what they’ve done to me these past few weeks?She clenched her fists. “Do you guys even care about me?” Her voice cracked with raw emotion. “Neither of you picked up my calls. You just handed me over to the Russo family, locked me away like I was some prisoner!”James’ eyes darkened, his patience wearing dangerously thin.Matilda’s lips curled in irritation. “Helena—”“And now you want to do it again?!” Helena shrieked, her face twisted in frustration. “You want to control me like some puppet? Just say you hate me and be done with it!”Tears burned in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall.She knew it.Ellen had been right.They didn’t care.They never had.“You’re both horrible!” she spat, her voice cracking as she cursed them both under her
