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

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

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

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

Lilly’s head snapped toward the door at the sound of a knock.Tap. Tap.It was soft. Almost hesitant.She tilted her head slightly, her sharp eyes narrowing as she tried to guess who it could be.Inside her mind, Lia’s voice hummed in amusement.“I think that’s cutie pie.”Lilly smirked. Of course, she thought.David, however, had a completely different reaction.He barely had the strength to lift his head, but his mind latched onto one desperate thought—Someone is here.His breath came out in ragged, pained gasps. His body felt like it had been shattered and rebuilt a thousand times over—but suddenly, none of that mattered.Whoever it was, whoever stood beyond that door, they were his salvation.His hero.His goddamn savior.For the first time in his life, David DeLuca felt something he never thought he would—Pure, unfiltered hope.He didn’t care if it was a guard. A servant. A fucking delivery man.Whoever it was—he was going to worship them.Just get me out of here, his mind scre
