**VITO’S POV** Taking my last steps through the empty mansion, my footsteps echoed. Everyone had moved out on my orders, and the only reason I was here now was to leave some clue behind for Juno to be able to find us. Walking into her room I could still smell her Cologne this was my first time coming in here. Chuckling, it was exactly what I expected it to be, bare with little to no presence in here. It made me think of how she had been living back at her parents' place.

The small amount of silver my parents kept hidden in a loose stone behind the fireplace. I avoided looking at the blood on the floor, I was good at avoiding things.

The events of the previous night felt simultaneously fresh and impossibly distant, like a dream I'd had about someone else's nightmare. Millbrook was gone, not completely gone. Buildings still stood, streets still ran in their familiar patterns. But what had been a town of maybe two thousand people was now a necropolis, a place of ghosts and ash.

The idea of intentionally flirting with a man would have been unthinkable for the old Mia Grant, the obedient heiress of a powerful family. But now, I needed an ally. And not just any ally, I needed someone powerful. The financial world in Ashford had returned to its usual calm. The rumors and gossip only lasted a few days before fizzling out. The notion that the alliance between the Harlow and Grant families, forged through marriage, could truly collapse? It was utterly unthinkable. I, Mia Grant, was destined to become the future Mrs. Harlow.

With flawless makeup on, I looked straight into the camera and calmly said, "Yes, I'm Cindy, the so-called arrogant and domineering heiress who beat her two brothers and cut ties with her biological father. "For those who want to criticize me, this livestream is open. Just for today, nobody will be banned for anything they say."

She slowly opened her eyes, a person flashing through her mind, instantly dispelling her drowsiness. It was early fall now, and Jade remembered a major event that had happened during her school days in her previous life. Back then, there had been a genius student at Clotheap University whose medical theories were too radical, leading to his expulsion from the school.

He looked at her for just a brief moment, something unreadable flickering across his eyes. He didn't offer a defense or an explanation, he just turned back toward the door.

I thought that my family had tried to find me so fervently, using every method they had, because they wanted to make up for lost time. It was only later that I knew that because Anna's identity as a fake heiress was found out by their competitor, everyone in the business shunned the Swans for abandoning their biological daughter, causing their stocks to plummet. That was why they tried to look for me, as if they'd gone mad. If not, they would've forgotten about me ages ago. Meanwhile, the others had already started slaughtering the seabirds with almost manic enthusiasm, muttering their achievements under their breath as they killed.
