Evelyn walked slower when she saw her daughter’s figure from a distance, her voice carrying over, deeper with hurt. “You said you wanted to talk, right?” Liliana’s voice wavered, the tremble betraying the anger she tried to keep steady. She turned slightly, her hands clenched at her sides. “What do you want to talk about? Or are you here just to make sure I’m unhappy?” She laughed bitterly, her gaze falling to the ground for a moment before meeting Evelyn’s. “You know, Mother, if you really care as much as you claim, if you’re really here to make amends like you say, you wouldn’t have done what you did.” Evelyn stayed silent, her chest tightening as she watched Liliana brush at her cheeks roughly, trying to hold herself together. “Even if Ray had done something wrong,” Liliana continued, her voice sharp but trembling, “as a mother, you could have at least tried to hide it. Tried to make it seem like nothing was wrong. Do you know what I did, Mother?” She laughed again, this time s

Lily felt like her Liliana entire existence was a sham. She had been living a lie, dead believing in a lie and the truth was only now beginning to unravel. The man who had tormented her, whom she thought was her father, was actually not her biological parent. It was a shocking revelation, and she couldn't wrap her head around it. How could this be? How could her whole life be a fabrication?As she grappled with these questions, Lily's emotions were in turmoil. She felt like she was vibrating with anger and frustration, and she couldn't seem to calm down. Her existence, her identity, everything she thought she knew about herself was a lie.And to make matters more complicated, she had just discovered that she had a twin sister, who was somehow seven years older than her. It didn't make sense - how could two people be twins, yet be born at different times? It was a mind-bending concept, and Lily was desperate for answers.She hoped that the explanation she was about to receive would be

Liliana’s voice wavered, but her anger burned steady. “What about the girl who grew up feeling unwanted?” she demanded, her hands trembling at her sides. “Do you have any idea what it’s like to be your daughter? To live a life where love was a distant dream?” Her breath hitched, her throat tightening. “Liliana’s life was miserable. Mine was too, growing up with you.”Evelyn flinched, her lips parting in a silent protest, but Liliana didn’t give her the chance to speak.“You said you were trying to protect me,” she continued, her voice thick with emotion, “but your protection felt more like a cage, Mother. Every single day, I felt trapped, suffocated by the life you built around me. I was always seeking, always pleading for freedom, even when I knew it was impossible.”Evelyn’s eyes shimmered with unshed tears, her expression contorted with guilt and confusion. “I—I only wanted to keep you safe…” she whispered.Liliana let out a bitter laugh, shaking her head. “Safe?” she spat. “You ca

Ray’s heart pounded so violently against his ribs that he thought it might break through his chest. His hands curled into fists at his sides as his mind struggled to wrap around what he had just heard.No.No, this wasn’t happening.It couldn’t be happening.“So you’re telling me—” His voice was dangerously low at first, almost eerily calm. But then, all at once, the dam broke.“You’re telling me that you’re not my wife?!” Ray’s voice shot up, raw with disbelief and something dangerously close to panic. His eyes burned into Lilly as though searching for any sign that she was joking, that this was some cruel, twisted prank.But Lilly didn’t waver.Ray let out a harsh, humorless laugh. “Baby girl, are you sure you’re alright?” His jaw clenched so tightly it ached. “Because none of this shit makes any sense!” He ran a frustrated hand through his hair, pacing back and forth like a man trying to outrun his own thoughts.“Lilly and Liliana are the same person!” he snapped, turning back to h

But before he could finish, Lilly flinched and slapped his hand away. “Stop touching me,” she said, her voice colder than he expected. Ray blinked, taken aback. “Lilly…” She took a step back, shaking her head. “I just—I need to go for a walk right now.” Ray frowned, his gut twisting uneasily. “Baby, come on, don’t do this—” But Lilly was already turning away. Evelyn’s voice, soft yet firm, stopped her in her tracks. “Liliana.” Lilly closed her eyes briefly at the sound of her full name, inhaling sharply before turning back. Evelyn stepped closer, her gaze heavy with something unreadable. “Baby, look into my eyes and tell me…” Her voice wavered slightly. “What happened on your tenth birthday?” Lilly frowned. “What?” “If you’re really my Lilly,” Evelyn said, her voice thick with emotion, “tell me what happened that day.” Lilly’s chest tightened. She let out a dry, humorless laugh. “Really now, Mother?” Evelyn didn’t answer. Lilly looked away, her fingers curli
