The next morning, the house was silent. Even the sound of the birds outside seemed distant, almost hesitant, as if they too could feel the weight that hung over the walls.Abigail sat by her window, staring out blankly at the soft light of dawn spilling across the garden. Her eyes were swollen from crying through the night. She hadn’t slept not even for a minute. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw their faces: Luke’s calm, unreadable expression, Oscar’s nervous glances, Obetta’s cruel smirk as her words sliced through her heart.Now that the truth was out, or at least some version of it, nothing made sense anymore.She had always believed Luke to be her anchor, the one person she could trust no matter what. And Oscar… he had been her friend, her confidant, the one who seemed to understand her even when she didn’t understand herself.But now she felt like a stranger in her

I MESSED EVERYTHING UP...The sun was sinking low when Luke finally returned to his room. The day had been long and full of tension, and the silence that filled the house only made his mind heavier. He sat by his desk, loosening his tie, trying to keep his thoughts in order Abigail’s hurt expression, her tears, the sound of her voice when she told him not to speak again.He leaned forward, running a hand through his hair. “I messed everything up,” he muttered quietly to himself.He had wanted to protect her from the truth, from Carmen, from everything that could hurt her. But in doing so, he had become one of those people she now distrusted.He sighed and stood, walking to the window. The evening air felt cool against his skin. For a moment, he wished he could disappear just vanish until everything was right again.Then, suddenly, there was a soft knock at the door.He frowned. “Who is it?”

I ONLY SUSPECTED...Abigail came home quiet, her face pale, her thoughts far away. The drive from the Dixon mansion had felt endless, and even now, standing in the familiar hall of Luke’s estate, everything looked the same yet nothing felt the same anymore.Luke had been in his study when she walked in. He looked up from his desk the moment he saw her, and the calm expression he tried to wear disappeared. He could tell, from the distant look in her eyes, that something had changed.“Abigail?” he said softly, standing up. “What happened? You look… shaken.”She turned to him slowly, her lips parting as if she was unsure where to start. “I went to the Dixon mansion,” she said finally. Her voice sounded small, almost foreign. “Oscar’s family called me there. They told me everything.”Luke froze. His hand that had been resting on the table slowly clenched. “Everything?” he repeated carefully.Ab

THE TRUTH...The Dixon mansion stood tall under the late afternoon sun, its wide glass windows glimmering in gold. Inside, the atmosphere was tense, heavy with words that had not yet been spoken. Mrs. Dixon sat in the living room, her fingers twisting a handkerchief as her eyes stayed fixed on the large family portrait that hung above the fireplace. It was a picture of her, her husband, and Oscar taken years ago when their smiles still held peace.“I can’t do this anymore,” she said softly, almost to herself. “I can’t sleep knowing that my daughter my own blood is out there, living with strangers and doesn’t even know who she really is.” Her voice broke, the pain in it making the room still.Mr. Dixon sighed deeply, rubbing his forehead. “margeret , we’ve gone over this. You know the circumstances. We thought she was gone. We mourned her. And even now, bringing her back could…” He stopped, his voice trailing off as if the words were

I'M TIRED..Carmen sat in the café’s quiet corner, her hands wrapped around a cup of untouched coffee. The afternoon was calm, yet her thoughts weren’t. She had asked Obetta to meet her it was time to end something that had gone on too long.When Obetta finally walked in, she carried her usual confidence, her heels clicking against the tiled floor. She spotted Carmen instantly and came over with a smirk.“Well, this must be serious,” Obetta said, pulling out a chair. “You hardly ever ask to meet.”Carmen lifted her eyes briefly, calm and composed. “It is,” she replied. “That’s why I wanted to see you.”Obetta leaned back, studying her. “You sound serious already. What’s going on?”Carmen paused before speaking. “It’s about Abigail.”Obetta’s smirk widened slightly. “Ah, your favorite topic.”Carmen ignored the sarcasm. “I’ve decided I won’t bother her again,” she said simply.The smile vanished from Obetta’s face. “What did you just say?”“I said,” Carmen repeated, “I’m done. I won’t

MAYBE I WAS TOO HARSH...The afternoon sunlight slanted gently through the wide windows of the study, casting a warm golden hue across the polished desk where Luke sat reading through a set of files. The house was quiet too quiet until a soft knock came at the door. “Come in,” he said without looking up. One of the guards stepped inside, bowing slightly. “Sir, I thought you should know… Miss Carmen Brooks came to see Madam Abigail today.” Luke’s eyes lifted from the papers immediately. “Carmen?” he asked sharply. “She came here?” “Yes, sir. She arrived around eleven this morning and left not long after noon. It seemed peaceful, no arguments.” Luke leaned back in his chair, his brow furrowing. “Peaceful?” he repeated. “Yes, sir,” the guard confirmed. “They talked for a while, then she left quietly.” Luke was silent for a moment, tapping his pen against the desk. Carmen coming here uninvited wasn’t a small thing. He knew her she never did anything without a purpose. “Alright,
