THE WEIGHT OF TRUTH

(Serena's POV)

I ended the call with Damien and sat in the darkness of my bedroom, my phone still clutched in my hand.

He had sounded exactly like I remembered. Weak. Uncertain. Full of excuses.

Nothing had changed. Almost two years had passed and Damien Blackwood was still the same spineless man who had let his grandmother control his life.

I wanted to throw my phone across the room. I wanted to scream. But Isabella was sleeping in the next room and I could not risk waking her.

Instead, I buried my face in my hands and tried to control the rage burning through me.

After Lysander and Helena left my apartment an hour ago, I had paced my living room for a long time. Elena had tried to talk to me, but I told her I needed space. She had retreated to the guest room, probably to cry some more about how sorry she was.

I could not think about Elena's betrayal right now. That was a wound I would have to deal with later. Right now, all I could think about was Michelle Wood.

    THE CONFRONTATION(Serena's POV)"Serena? What are you doing here? And who are these people?"I looked at Damien's confused face and felt a flash of irritation. Even now, even in the middle of this crisis, he was asking pointless questions."I'm here to help find Michelle," I said shortly. "That's all you need to know.""And who are these people with you?" He asked again.Lysander walked past Damien without even acknowledging him. He went straight to the clinic door and tried the handle. It was locked, just as Damien had said.Elena followed Lysander, leaving me standing there with Damien."Serena, please," Damien said. "I'm trying to understand what's happening. How do you know about this clinic? And who are those people?""They're helping me," I said. "That's all that matters. Now, can we focus on finding Michelle instead of playing twenty questions?"Damien looked hurt, but he nodded. "The front door is locked. I already tried. And there's no one answering."Lysander was examining

    THE SEARCH BEGINS(Serena's POV)After I hung up with Damien, I stood in my kitchen, my heart racing.The body they found was not Michelle. That was good news. But it also raised more questions than it answered.Who was the dead woman? Why had she been killed? And where was Michelle now?Lysander was watching me carefully. "What did Damien say?""The body isn't Michelle," I said. "It's someone else. But Michelle is still missing. And Damien is going to a medical facility in Queens where Michelle was last seen. I'm meeting him there.""Absolutely not," Lysander said immediately. "You're not going anywhere near this. It's too dangerous.""I don't remember asking for your permission," I shot back. "Michelle is in danger because of the Blackwoods. Because of Eleanor. Someone needs to help her. And since Damien has proven over and over that he's useless, I'm going to do it myself.""Serena, please," Elena said. She had been standing quietly in the corner, but now she stepped forward. "Lysa

    THE REVELATION(Damien's POV)"Damien, what did Eleanor do? What did she do to that poor woman?"I was taken aback by Serena's question. How did she know any of this?"Serena, how do you know about the body? I just found out myself minutes ago."There was a pause on the other end of the line. Then Serena said, "That doesn't matter right now. What matters is finding out if it's Michelle. Damien, please tell me it's not her.""I don't know yet," I admitted. My voice was hollow. "My private investigator is heading to the scene now to find out more information. But Serena, how did you hear about this? Who told you?""I have my sources," Serena said evasively. "The important thing is that we need to know if Michelle is safe. If that body belongs to her, then Eleanor has gone too far. Way too far."I sank into one of the dining room chairs. My legs felt like they could not support me anymore. "I confronted Eleanor about it. She denied everything. She claims Michelle got on the plane to Swit

    THE DISCOVERY(Damien's POV)I had not slept at all after Serena hung up on me. I had lain in bed, staring at the ceiling, her words playing over and over in my mind.When was the last time you were a man instead of a puppet?At six in the morning, I gave up on sleep. I got out of bed, showered, and put on a suit. My eyes were bloodshot and my hands were shaking, but I forced myself to go through the motions.I needed to do something. Anything. I could not just sit around waiting for Rufus to call me back.I went downstairs to the dining room. Eleanor was already there, reading the newspaper and sipping her morning tea. She looked as composed and elegant as always. Victoria wasn't back from her trip. That was good. One less person to deal with."Good morning, Damien," she said without looking up. "You're up early.""I couldn't sleep," I said."Guilty conscience?" Eleanor asked. There was a slight edge to her voice. She was still angry about last night. About my threat regarding Marcus

    THE MORNING AFTER(Serena's POV)I woke up to the sound of Isabella's laughter coming from the kitchen.For a moment, I was confused. Then everything from last night came rushing back. The visit from Lysander and Helena. The revelations about Elena. The phone call to Damien. All of it crashed over me like a wave.I groaned and pulled the pillow over my head. I did not want to face the day. I did not want to deal with any of it.But Isabella's laughter rang out again, high and sweet, and I forced myself to sit up. Whatever chaos was happening in my life, my daughter still needed me. She still needed breakfast and clothes and love.I dragged myself out of bed and looked in the mirror. My eyes were red and swollen from crying. My hair was a mess. I looked exactly how I felt. Exhausted and broken.I splashed cold water on my face and tried to pull myself together. Then I put on my robe and walked out to the kitchen.The scene that greeted me made me stop in my tracks.Lysander was standin
