My voice was getting etched with anger. "Did anyone tell you about the affair of Peter Marcusio and Marissa Grasso?" My heart dropped at those names. My parents name were Peter and Marissa. Were they the same people?" "The story goes, Peter and Marissa were married off young, but to another. In their late twenties they met at a family gathering and fell in love. They began an affair behind their spouse's back. When rumors began speckling of this affair the families were in an uproar.

"Is this your family?" He walked to me while holding a cup of tea in his hand and looked at the picture I pointed and said, "Yeah." I showed him the girls and boys group picture and asked, "Are these your friends?" he let out a soft chuckle and said, "That's my cousin." "Looks like you have a very big family." "yeah." After finishing the drink I said, "I can't believe the father and son had an affair with the same woman who was already married with two children. The more cases we investigate, the more it makes us lose interest in relationships."

Don't forget, Charlotte's mom married Greyson, but he was the next door neighbor. The Gallagher family may be better than the Bernard family, but so what? The Moyer family's background is not something the Gallagher family can compare to. What's more, Marcus did that to Charlotte. Marisa hated iron for not becoming steel: "If you don't try, how do you know it won't work?" "I know myself! I don't want to make a fool of myself!" Upon hearing this, Marisa was not happy and asked, "Is our family poor?" She pursed her lips and didn't say anything.

The past few weeks had been rough with Dave and Kate getting divorced the week before Jasper and I did. The news of Mariah’s death had somehow made it into the tabloids, and with the Hayes family being one of the most influential ones around, everybody wanted to know the truth. “Are you happy now?” Mom asked when I got out of the courthouse and found her standing out there with a coat and her hands in her pockets as the rain drizzled. “I didn’t think you’d come,” I replied. It had been weeks since I last saw her after her outburst and threats back in Jasper’s house.

After we moved in together, I even took up cooking seriously, just so she could enjoy a home-cooked meal. It wasn't until we were discussing marriage and the topic of our parents came up that I finally learned that she came from such a powerful family. After we got married, even without Dad using it as leverage, those in the know still extended him favors in business. Thus, over the years, my family had inevitably benefited from the Jacksons' name. I felt a sudden sense of clarity. From the very beginning, that was how Monica had always seen me. My eyes pricked with tears, and it felt like there was a huge hole in my chest.

I thought I was about to leave, but the last person binding me here was Jonathan. Though he had reported Adriana, gossiping netizens had already uncovered his past with her. I even learned many things I had not known before. For instance, they had slept together, even if Jonathan had just been acting recklessly while drunk. Overnight, the Hayes family's stock prices plummeted, and they, too, faced bankruptcy. Jonathan was overwhelmed with work but still made time every day to visit me at the cemetery. It was precisely because of this routine that he was hacked to death by the rogue doctor who was wanted citywide.

Marisa Darcytook a few steps forward and raised her hand on Paul Johnson's shoulder, her fingertips slowly sliding down the curve of the muscle. She stroked to the chest, her wrist was abruptly clutched, and then shrugged off. Paul Johnson turned his face away, his flickering gaze revealing a bit of imperceptible disgust. "With a mind like that, it's better to think about how this Miller Family thing is going to work out." He reminded in a hushed voice. Marisa Darcyretracted her hand, still looking indifferent: "The Miller Family is gone, I'm a fugitive now, I can't protect myself, I don't have time to worry about that mess!

But there were just so many things going through his head. The moment Luca left, Black walked into his main house and headed straight to the living room where his wife was resting. “You are here, Darling,” the woman said and wrapped her hands around the man. Even though they were now old, she would do this often. “Mmh,” Black nodded and took a seat. “Do you remember anything that happened before Cammy disappeared?“ He asked, his eyes looking at his wife. The woman froze immediately. Black could see fear in her eyes. Maybe he was just overthinking?

Seeing the growing crowd, I purposely raised my voice. "Oh, really? If you truly loved Juni and me, you wouldn't have cheated with your assistant and insisted she bear you a son to carry on your family name. "You've never cared for Juni because she's a girl.
