Rosey froze. “What… are you talking about?” she asked, her voice tight, guilt shadowing her features. “The necklace has been found in Zara’s suitcase. Then why are you accusing me? Your own sister… and you’re taking a stranger’s side?”Zara stood still, emotionless, yet there was a flicker of hope in her eyes hope that this time, the truth would set her free. Because last time, she had been accused of stealing at the restaurant… and though she had been found guilty, she knew the story had been a lie.Victor scoffed and stepped closer to Rosey. “So just because you’re my sister… Does it mean you can frame others simply because you don’t like them?”Rosey froze. How did he know I don’t like Zara? she thought, panic rising.“Victor, please… make me understand what’s going on,” his mother said, fully confused.“Okay,” he began, his voice steady. “First, we all remember she sent messages to my fiancé, saying Zara was seducing me. And when you asked, Mother, she claimed she thought Zara was

The headlines were everywhere.“Billionaire Victor Exposed ,Secret Child and Mystery Woman Revealed!”Zara’s hands trembled as she scrolled.Photos.Speculations.Clipped videos from the school event.A zoomed-in image of Victor lifting Lilly on the dance floor.Another of him standing too close to Zara.Comment sections were exploding. Social media was ruthless. News channels replayed the footage over and over, adding dramatic music and wild assumptions.Zara felt the blood drain from her face.This wasn’t gossip anymore.It was a storm.A sharp knock sounded at her door.She quickly wiped her expression, but her fingers were still shaking.“Sister?” she called softly.Sister Evenly stepped inside, her face tight with concern.“Zara, I’m sorry if I woke you,” she began gently, closing the door behind her. “But the news… they’re saying Lilly is Victor’s child.”The words felt heavier when spoken out loud.Zara swallowed.“Yes, Sister,” she whispered, her voice strained. “I’ve seen it”

When Zara woke, the room felt unfamiliar too quiet, too heavy. The air itself seemed to carry grief.Victor and Lilly were seated beside her bed, their faces drawn with worry. They must have been watching her for a long time. Victor’s usually steady expression was shadowed with helplessness, while Lilly’s small hands were clasped together as if in prayer.“Mommy…” Lilly whispered the moment Zara’s eyes fluttered open. She threw her arms around her, clinging tightly, as though afraid Zara might disappear too.Zara blinked slowly, her body aching, her heart heavier still. She turned her face away, her voice barely more than a breath.“Tell me it was all a dream,” she murmured, ignoring Lilly’s embrace. “Please… tell me none of it was real.”Victor swallowed hard. His voice, though calm, carried a quiet sorrow.“No,” he said gently. “It wasn’t a dream.”The words shattered what little strength she had left.Zara broke down, her sobs raw and uncontrollable. “What am I going to do, sir?” s

Adrian and Rosey’s POVWhen Rosey was finally exposed for framing Zara, the air around her changed. The whispers grew louder, the trust she once manipulated so easily began slipping through her fingers like sand.“I’m leaving this game soon,” she muttered bitterly, pacing back and forth. “They don’t trust me anymore. And worst of all… Victor loves Zara more.”The way she said Zara’s name carried venom.Adrian stiffened. “No,” he said quickly, stepping closer to her. “Don’t even think about leaving.”Rosey turned to him, her eyes flashing with frustration. “What choice do I have? I’m losing control.”“We’re closer than you think,” Adrian replied, lowering his voice as though the walls themselves could betray them. “We’re about to get exactly what we want.”Her brows furrowed. “And how do you suppose that happens now?”His expression darkened calculated, determined. “This time, I’ll take matters into my own hands.”For a moment, silence stretched between them.“Just rest for now,” he c

“Oh, Zara!”Maya rushed toward her the moment she appeared in the doorway, a small suitcase in hand and Victor just behind her, holding Lilly’s tiny fingers in his. The sight made Zara pause for a second hand in hand, they looked almost like a fragile little family trying to survive a storm.Zara offered a faint smile, though her eyes still carried the weight of grief.“I’m so sorry we had to come and burden you like this… to stay here so suddenly…”“Zara, please,” Maya interrupted gently, pulling her into a warm hug. “It’s completely fine. I’m really glad you’re here. Victor told me everything.” She pulled back slightly, her voice softening. “And I’m truly sorry for your loss.”The words settled heavily in the air.“So please,” Maya continued, squeezing her hands reassuringly, “stay here and be comfortable. This is your home as long as you need it. Right, Lilly?”“Yes!” Lilly nodded eagerly, looking up at Zara with innocent agreement.“Thank you, Maya,” Zara replied quietly, her voi
