“Aurelio!”My grandfather stormed into the room, leaning on a silver-plated cane. My uncle and several Sorrento guards followed close behind.“Have you forgotten that the Sorrento family still exists? How dare you treat Leah this way while I’m still alive?”My father rose from the sofa and calmly set down his glass of whiskey.His gaze moved over my grandfather and uncle, a faint smile on his lips.“Now that everyone is here, some matters would be better discussed in the chapel.”With that, he turned and headed toward the underground chapel.My grandfather gave a cold laugh and started after him.My uncle caught his arm.“Father, let me go in first and see what this is about. You stay here. If anything happens, you’ll be able to intervene.”My grandfather frowned and studied him for a moment before slowly nodding.My uncle followed my father and disappeared down the stairs, leaving my grandfather and me alone in the hall.My grandfather gently touched the wound on my forehead.“Does it

My grandmother bent down, drew me against her with one arm, and helped me into my coat.“Take her to the main hall,” she ordered.Her voice was quiet, but it carried an authority no one dared challenge.“I want to see who truly rules this estate now—my son or a beast who has lost every shred of his humanity.”The guards exchanged glances.No one tried to stop her.In the main hall, my father was calmly clipping the end of a cigar.The moment he saw my grandmother supporting me, his expression darkened.“Aurelio!” my grandmother demanded. “Do the rules mean nothing to you anymore? If you don’t give me an explanation today, I will call a Family council and strip you of your authority!”My father clenched his jaw and gave a cold laugh.“An explanation?”I saw the ice in his eyes, and terror surged through me.Would my father take my grandmother into the underground chapel too?The thought alone made my entire body tremble. I clutched her sleeve tightly.“Grandmother, please promise me. Pl

The light above my hospital bed was so bright that it made my eyes ache.With hands nearly numb from pain, I pushed against the mattress and struggled to sit up, desperate to stop the officers from asking any more questions.“Stop asking! There’s nothing there!”The officer questioning me frowned.“While you were unconscious, we performed a full examination. Other than the fractures caused by your fall, the scans showed no physical damage to your brain. Neurologically, you are perfectly normal, but your mental state is extremely unstable.”He studied me closely.“You’ve contacted the police several times before. What exactly are you afraid of?”I stared at him in despair.“Everything that happened before was something I staged myself. Just assume I’m insane.”They couldn’t keep investigating.I couldn’t let them enter that chapel again.“No! I’m not afraid of anything!”I shook my head frantically, my voice filled with panic.“I already told you. Those previous reports were deliberate.

Fortunately, the psychiatric facility was much quieter than I had imagined.There were no hysterical screams, and there were no patients behaving like the lunatics I had pictured.Everyone here had empty eyes, as if their souls had already been taken away from their bodies.I took my medication, received injections, and followed the schedule for sleep every day.When the weather was good, the nurses would take us outside to sit in the courtyard and get some sunlight.No one spoke, and no one interacted with anyone else. Time seemed to have completely stopped in this place.Day after day, I mechanically took my medicine, slept, and sat there in silence. My mind became slower, and I gradually spoke less and less.Until one day, I saw someone familiar. It was Rick.I held my breath as my eyes widened in disbelief.I could never mistake him for anyone else.
