At the Shelby family's underground casino, I was carrying a tray past the last table when someone whistled."Well, well, if it isn't the esteemed Ms. Loren."He raised his eyebrows theatrically and said to his buddy, "You know who she is? She's a big deal! The old Don loved her. She almost got to be the Donna!"The other guy flicked his cigarette ash onto my tray and laughed."The Donna? A mole?"The Shelby family never would've been ambushed at the West Docks if she hadn't leaked the convoy's route!"The fact that Derek didn't just put a bullet in her? That's him being sentimental."I kept my eyes down and didn't argue. I just gathered the glasses onto my tray one by one.I'd been hearing this stuff for three years.Nobody cared that I'd gone to see Vincent that day to warn him there was a rat in the family.And nobody believed that the so-called evidence had been planted in my room ahead of time.From that night on, I went from being the future Donna of the Shelby family to its suppo

After Derek left the snake room, he didn't go back to Viola's room.He sat in his car while a cigarette burned down to nothing between his fingers. He never took a single drag.The image of Sylvia kneeling behind the glass and calling his name kept replaying in his mind.Irritated, Derek stubbed out the cigarette with his thumb and called his right-hand man, Nico Russo."Get Sylvia a temporary access card.""What level, Don?""High enough to get into the family's placement records."The line went quiet for a moment."Does this mean you're letting her look for Mia?"Derek's voice went cold. "Just do what I said."The next day, when the casino manager handed me the card, it took me a long time to realize what it meant.With it, I could access the family archives and search the records of every child, patient, and missing person the Shelby family had ever taken in.Maybe I could finally find Mia!I clutched the card and went straight to the records building without even stopping to tend t

Suddenly, he staggered and grabbed the edge of the hospital bed."There were letters in Sylvia's room tying her to a rival family. She was also the one who leaked the convoy route."I saw it all with my own eyes! There's no way I'm wrong!"He spoke faster and faster, his muttering rising to a growl. It sounded like he was trying to convince his father, but even more like he was trying to convince himself.What if I really was innocent?Then how could he ever make up for the last ten years?He'd gotten the only family I had left killed. He'd locked me up in the casino and sent me to the fight club to be beaten.What did all of that make him?Vincent closed his eyes for a moment."Who found that evidence?"Derek froze."Uncle Carlo.""Then go ask him."That same day, Derek stormed into Carlo Bruno's estate and pressed a gun to his forehead."Who was really behind the West Docks attack ten years ago?!"Carlo was quiet for a while. Then, of all things, he laughed."It was me."Derek went v

Alarm flashed across Kane's face. He dug through the bag of medicine for my painkillers."Sylvie, hang on a little longer."But before he could give me the pills, Derek snatched them away."What is this?"Kane's face went dark."Give those back to her!""I asked you what this is!"Derek clutched the few loose pills, eyeing them with suspicion.Sweat was pouring down my face from the pain, and I didn't have the strength to argue with him."Derek... give them to me."He finally realized something was wrong when he saw that I was in too much pain to stand. He handed the pills to Nico and ordered someone to test them immediately.Kane pulled out another pill and held it to my lips.I leaned against him for a long time before the pain in my stomach finally eased a little.Derek stood there watching.His expression darkened as he watched Kane hold me and heard him call me "Sylvie" over and over.But this time, he didn't shove Kane away.The test results came back fast. Nico said quietly, "Do

Another two weeks went by, and the treatment actually made me look a lot better.Some color had returned to my face, and I was eating more than before.Derek was thrilled by every sign of improvement.Whenever a doctor said I was doing well, he pressed them for answers. Was the treatment working? Was I getting better?He'd even had someone get my old room ready again.But when the follow-up report came back, all the doctors kept their heads down. Nobody dared say a word.Derek opened the report and stared at it for a long time."What does this mean?"The lead doctor had no choice but to explain."Don, the improvement in Ms. Loren's condition only reflects better nutrition and pain management."Her organ damage is still progressing, and the treatment isn't working anymore. At this rate..."The doctor paused. "She has a month at most."Derek threw the report across the room."That's impossible! She's gained weight! She finished her whole breakfast yesterday!"And you're telling me she's
