“I won’t indulge you anymore, Briella.” Diego gripped Briella’s wrist tightly, dragging her step by step toward the golden cage. The grand hall was completely empty now.The moment she splashed the tea on his face, the servants had wisely excused themselves without a word.Briella struggled, resisting with all her might. “Let me go!”But Diego didn’t even flinch, his face calm as if he couldn’t hear her.He pulled her wrists together with one hand and wrapped his other arm around her waist. Before she realized it, they were already standing before the cage.He set her down.His firm chest pressed against her back, leaving her nowhere to run.Then he gently took both her hands in his and guided them to touch the golden cage door.Their fingers intertwined—his slender, fair hand against her soft, delicate one. A strangely beautiful sight.Her jade-l

The head secretary sensed something was wrong and immediately pulled up the security footage, angling the computer screen toward Preston and Briella.Preston rewound the footage to about thirty minutes prior.At first, the sanitation worker’s actions seemed normal. But then, when no one was looking, the figure subtly veered toward the Executive Archive Room.That room was always locked. Without a key or password, it should’ve been inaccessible.On screen, the figure glanced around to make sure the coast was clear, then pulled a small white card from their pocket. With a flick over the digital lock, the control panel flickered—then went dark.The door handle turned easily. The figure slipped inside.Preston’s face darkened. He turned sharply to the secretary.“Get security. Now. Catch that person—call the police!”Briella, calm and composed, slid the laptop closer and switched the camera

Briella stood on the balcony of the villa, letting the cool night wind brush across her pale face. It wasn’t until droplets of drizzle landed on her cheeks that she finally blinked out of her daze.Slowly, she took out her phone and dialed.“Preston.”“Skye?! Is that really you? Where the hell have you been? Audrey and I were losing our minds! You scared the life out of me!”Preston's voice was frantic—equal parts relief and panic.“Calm down. I’ll call Audrey first and let her know I’m safe. I’ll get back to you in a bit.”“Fine, fine, just don’t vanish again.”She ended the call and immediately dialed again.“Audrey.”“Where the hell have you been?! Do you know how panicked Jules and I were when we got the news?”Audrey’s tone remained mostly steady, but the anger in her voice was unmistakable.

“Paige… I’m your biological father!” Emmet clutched his stomach, collapsing onto the ground. Blood gushed through his fingers. His face was ghostly pale, drenched in fear.Paige lowered her gun with eerie calm and slowly stepped closer.“D-Don’t! Stay back!” Emmet panicked, dragging himself backward. His body smeared a streak of blood along the dirt as he desperately tried to crawl away.But Paige’s cheeks were flushed, her eyes clear and glowing with satisfaction. She crouched beside him and casually flipped her hair, the picture of elegance twisted into something dark.“Funny… you remember I’m your daughter now?” she whispered sweetly. “But where were you these past few days, Daddy?”She lifted the gun again—clumsily, but with purpose.The barrel traced from his chest to his face… and stopped, cold and firm, against his forehead.This

 Skye held her phone in one hand while placing a heavy bag of expensive tonics and gifts onto the table in the foyer. “Teacher, the Ria you recommended—is she really the young lady from the Mortensen family?” he asked.“Yes. I saw her perform live. I was honestly shocked by her talent. I know you love percussion, but it’s been hard finding someone truly gifted.”“I trust your judgment, of course. It’s just… the Mortensen family…”Skye climbed the stairs without slowing. “You’re worried?”“I am. A little, yes.”“No need. I wouldn’t introduce trouble to your door.”A pause on the other end—then a frustrated sigh.“That’s not what I meant! You’re the person I respect most!”Skye laughed, knowing her student couldn’t take a joke. “Relax, I did
