The Silence Between Our Vows Chapter 76: The Name Behind The Lie
Zara couldn’t move.The words had been simple.Almost too simple.And yet they had managed to tear apart everything she thought she knew.Alessandro was never your father.She looked at Vittorio.Then at the woman standing across from her.Elena.Elena Bellini.The missing child.The fourth heir.The girl who had supposedly been born beside her twenty-five years ago.Her sister.Her face.Her voice.The fourth key.Everything about her should have made Zara feel closer to the truth.Instead, she felt more lost than ever.“You’re lying,” Zara whispered.Elena shook her head.“I wish I were.”Zara turned toward Isabella.“Mom.”Isabella couldn’t meet her eyes.That was enough.Zara’s heart sank.“You knew.”Isabella’s lips trembled.“I knew Alessandro wasn’t your father.”The room seemed to tilt.Adrian stepped closer.“Then who is?”Isabella looked at him.“I don’t know.”Zara stared at her.“You don’t know who my father is?”“I knew who they wanted you to believe was your father.”“Th
The Silence Between Our Vows Chapter 75: The Other baby
Nobody breathed.For several seconds, the only sound inside the vault was the faint ticking of the mechanism hidden inside the wall.Zara stared at the narrow opening.The voice had disappeared, but its final words remained suspended in the air.You were not the only baby born that night.Her fingers tightened around the pendant at her neck.“No.”The word came out barely above a whisper.Isabella stood completely still.Her face had lost every trace of color.Sophia looked from her mother to Zara.“Mom?”Isabella didn’t answer.Amara stepped closer.“You knew.”It wasn’t a question.Isabella finally looked at her daughters.“I knew there was another child.”Zara’s heart seemed to stop.“You knew?”“I didn’t know where the child was.”“But you knew?”“Yes.”Zara took a step toward her.“Then why didn’t you tell me?”Isabella’s eyes filled with tears.“Because I was told the child was dead.”“By who?”Isabella looked at Vittorio.Everyone followed her gaze.Vittorio’s hands tightened a
The Silence Between Our Vows Chapter 74: The Last Signatory
For several seconds, nobody moved.The wheelchair remained in the doorway, its wheels still turning slightly from the force that had pushed it forward. The man sitting in it looked older than Zara remembered, though the last time she had seen him had been through photographs, recordings, documents, and stories told by people who had spent years either fearing him or obeying him.Vittorio Bellini.Alive.His hands rested quietly over a dark walking cane across his lap. His silver hair was thinner than it had been in the photographs. His face had sharpened with age, and his skin carried the pale, almost translucent look of someone who had spent too long away from sunlight.But his eyes were exactly the same.Cold.Observant.Calculating.They settled on Zara as though everyone else in the room had disappeared.Zara felt Adrian move closer beside her.“Stay behind me,” he whispered.Vittorio smiled.It wasn’t a warm smile.It was the faintest curve of amusement.“You still do that.”Adri
The Silence Between Our Vows Chapter 73: The Daughter No One Knew
Zara couldn’t breathe.The young woman standing beside Isabella looked no older than twenty three.Her face was calm.Almost too calm.She had Isabella’s eyes.The same dark eyes Zara had spent her entire life trying to remember.But there was something else.Something painfully familiar.The shape of her mouth.The curve of her cheek.The way she tilted her head when she looked at Zara.Zara stared at her.“Another sister?”Isabella nodded.“Yes.”Sophia stepped forward.“No.”The young woman looked at her.Sophia’s face had gone completely pale.“You said I was the first.”“I said you were the first heir.”Sophia shook her head.“That’s not what you told me.”“I couldn’t tell you everything.”“You never can.”The bitterness in Sophia’s voice filled the room.Zara looked at Isabella.“How many children do you have?”Isabella’s eyes filled with tears.“Three.”Zara felt something inside her break.“Three?”Isabella nodded.“Sophia.”She looked at the first daughter.“Zara.”Then she l
The Silence Between Our Vows Chapter 72: The Father Who Returned
“Hello, daughters.”Zara couldn’t move.The man stood at the bottom of the staircase as though he had simply walked into an ordinary room instead of appearing inside a hidden vault that had been buried for twenty five years.His face was older than it had been in the photograph.There were lines around his eyes now, silver threaded through his dark hair, and a faint scar ran from his temple toward his jaw.But Zara knew him.She had seen that face in photographs.She had seen it beside Isabella.Beside Lucien.Beside the woman who had once held her as a baby.Matteo.Her supposed father.The man she had just been told wasn’t her biological father.The man everyone claimed had disappeared twenty five years ago.Her lips parted.“Matteo?”His smile faded.“Yes.”Sophia took a step backward.“No.”Matteo looked at her.“Sophia.”She shook her head.“You’re dead.”“So are half the people in this agreement.”His voice was calm.“Death was the easiest way to hide.”Zara stared at him.“You
The Silence Between Our Vows Chapter 71: The Girl In The Dark
Zara spun around.There was nobody behind her.Only darkness.Her heart hammered against her ribs.“Who said that?”No one answered.Then something brushed against her hand.Zara screamed.Adrian caught her before she stumbled.“Easy.”“Someone was behind me.”“I know.”His voice was low.“I heard it too.”Leonardo switched on his flashlight.The beam swept across the room.Empty.Daniel checked the corridor.“Nothing.”“She’s here,” the voice said through the speaker.Zara froze.“Who?”“The girl you’ve been searching for.”A faint sound came from somewhere above them.Footsteps.Slow.Deliberate.Zara looked up.There was a narrow balcony overlooking the courthouse.A figure stood at the railing.A girl.She was dressed in a dark coat, her hair falling loosely around her shoulders.She looked young.Too young to have been involved in any of this.But there was something about her face.Something familiar.Zara stared.The girl stared back.Neither moved.Then the girl stepped into t
