Frederick couldn't pick an appropriate question, stepping on a piece of glass as he moved closer. "Fiona, she is Gabriella Wilson," I loosened my tie, wrapping it around my bleeding hands. "What! Wait, she was the one all along?" Frederick helped remove the tie, disinfecting the injury before tying a bandage on it. "Are you alright?" "She deceived me. I thought I was capable of love.

Then, I heard it. It was loud and familiar; the sound of laughter made my skin crawl as it bounced off the walls. A cold shiver crept down my spine. He was here. The one who had stolen all of my parents' properties, including the estate they had left in my name. Including the mansion where my brother and I were living, the one where he had threatened to kick us out if we didn’t leave. He was here—my father's brother, my uncle, Victor Carter.

Then, I turned and walked away. Behind me, his cries tore through the room. Twenty thousand. That was the price I paid to cut off 28 years of blood ties. Maybe it was not a great deal, but it was worth it. The day I left the hospital, the sunlight felt blinding.

Toby had done it. The sunset was replaced by a high-resolution scan of the birth certificate I’d found in the safe. Beside it appeared the DNA results Arthur Vance had decrypted—the undeniable proof of our shared bloodline. And then, the final blow: a series of audio recordings Laredo had made in the cabin. “Fear and desire are the same emotion... You’re the sacrifice your mother made for her vanity.” Laredo’s own voice filled the ballroom, cold, clinical, and monstrous. It wasn't the voice of a titan; it was the voice of a predator.

The blade caught the pale light, gleaming silver and deadly. Paige gasped, jerking back slightly. “Raymond…” “Trust me,” I said, my voice low but steady. I turned the blade toward myself and, without flinching, sliced across my palm. Blood welled instantly, dark and rich. The metallic scent filled the clearing, mingling with the lingering smoke.
