Chapter 41

Upon her arrival at Sephis Central Airport, Hestia immediately spotted Dr. Charlie because of his ridiculous hair color—glaring blond.“Ew…” She immediately commented. “What kind of abomination is that?”“I got too wasted during my two-day break and made crazy decisions. Now let’s stop talking about my hair and get into business.”Charlie grabbed Hestia’s luggage and led the way to his car.“You are too sensitive to the cold so why suddenly go to a winter trip?” he asked, driving away from the airport.“It is a so-called stupid tradition of the Charter family. It was so cold and even snowing too hard but the two motherfucker lovebirds wanted to go fishing in a freaking frozen lake. I decided I did not want to participate only to get lost and stranded.”Charlie snorted. “And what? Grayson came to the rescue?”“Yeah.”Charlie stepped on the brakes too early and suddenly despite the car ahead of him was a few feet away. “You’re joking,” he said.Hestia shook her head.“He even took car

Dr. Charlie drove Hestia to her first house so they could avoid any risk of being eavesdropped once he revealed what he found out during his business trip to Andville. A smirk was drawn at his lips as Hestia poured some wine for the two of them. “If by any chance, will you let Grayson get back with Mavis?” he asked out of curiosity.“No.” Hestia’s reply was fast and firm. “Even if he grovels for days or cry blood, I will never forgive him and let him be with my sister.”The doctor took a quick whiff of his wine before taking a sip.“The final decision still lies to your sister, right?”Hestia decided not to comment on that one and simply occupied the seat across from Charlie.“So what did you want to tell me?” she asked instead.“My trip to Andville was supposed to be just pure business and a quick trip to see Karylle and Kyler. Getting hold of this information is a surprise gift even for me.” Charlie went through his phone before sliding it towards Hestia. “Look at those photos and

Mavis froze upon hearing those words from Maximillian. Her mind went under a short circuit, unable to come up with a plausible story or even a lie to get away from the situation. Run.That word echoed in her thoughts, but her body refused to cooperate. Not when Maximillian’s piercing gaze was so cold enough to freeze her in place. Not when she knew that look in his eyes—if she even said the wrong word, she’d be dead.“I…” Her breath hitched. “I… Uh…”Maximillian stood from his seat and with only a few strides, he was now right behind Mavis. He leaned down with his hand holding her jaw.“One wrong answer from you means serious trouble to that little kid called Kyler. Silence means death to the woman named Karylle. So choose your words carefully.” His grip tightened. “Who the fuck are you?”Tears pricked Mavis’s eyes. There was no way out already in that situation now that Karylle and Kyler were involved. She could feel her heart beating loud against her chest. Her breathing was shallo

“It's a coincidence that the adoptive father of Mavis is the same man who we negotiated with just a few weeks ago,” the private investigator commented. Maximillian turned to the next page and saw several pictures of Mavis even when she was in college. Even at that moment, he still could not believe that Hestia had a twin sister. If only Mavis indeed had amnesia, he would have come to believe that she was Hestia. He turned to the last page and an eyebrow immediately raised. “Mavis was missing?” he asked, which the private investigator answered with a small nod. “She used to, but just a few weeks ago, she got back with the…” It dawned on him that the real Mavis was with them in Andville. “Could it be that the one in Sephis City is your fiancee?” Maximillian turned to Karylle. “Bring this woman to Mavis,” he instructed one of his men before walking out of the room. Sephis City was on the other side of the world. It was no wonder that even after weeks of looking for Hestia,

It took Hestia six hours of travel before she finally got to her hotel. The moment she saw the bed, she plopped herself on it without hesitation. Despite her exhaustion, she listed the things in her mind that she needed to do the next day. Just thinking about it made her nerves tingle in excitement. Hestia just couldn't wait to unfold the truth behind the years of Venice's stay abroad.“Just you wait, Grayson. I will make you kneel and grovel for forgiveness,” she muttered to herself, her voice filled with conviction.***Hestia was all dressed up, her black trenchcoat hugging her body due to the colder temperature in the city. The room was still empty and quiet since the doctor she needed to speak with has yet to arrive. A brown envelope was placed on top of the table as if waiting for someone to reveal what was inside.“Mrs. Briar?” Hestia turned and saw an elderly woman wearing a white lab coat. She immediately noticed her name—Dr. Cooper. She stood from her seat and extended her
