I exclaimed, fear choked me as I spoke She gave a small laugh. “I'm glad I got to give you this news, so you can understand my pain when I found out you betrayed your promise to Serena” she said, as she walked slowly to where I was. She placed her hand on my shoulder and made sure she looked into my eyes when she said. “She was mauled to death by a bear, in front of so many witnesses, a very gruesome death” she finished. “That's enough Mrs Rinaldi, let's go” Atlas cautioned before gesturing for her to follow.

Serena's body began to go slack, and she slid to the ground, her head resting against my tombstone. Through the rain, her eyes gradually lost focus, but she forced them to remain open and stared at my photo on the tombstone. "Jason… in the next life…" Her voice grew fainter. "In the next life… I'll be the one pursuing you… I'll be the one treating you right… Wait for me… Don't walk too fast…" Serena's final words came out as soft as a sigh before she closed her eyes. Her hand slid down from her side, with her empty palm facing up.

"I hope everyone is enjoying this magnificent feast. Before we move on to dessert, I thought we might take a moment to reflect on the tragedy that befell our historical figures." She gestured to a servant who wheeled in a small table with what looked like old documents under glass. "These are reproductions of the final diary entries from Lord Thomas, Lady Serenity, and Lord Louis. I thought you might find them... illuminating." My mouth went dry. She was going to read our private thoughts aloud, in front of everyone. The intimate details of our relationship, our fears, our final moments, all of it exposed. "Lady Serenity's final entry," My blood turned to ice as Mrs Hargrove lifted the first

"What about him? Did he make a fool of himself again?" "He's dead." The two words landed with the force of a physical blow, stealing the air from my lungs. It didn't feel real. A name like his wasn't supposed to end in a whisper. "When?" I heard my own voice, eerily calm, as if I were asking about a stranger. "Last night. At the cliff where you two first met," Simon said softly. "He sent me one last message." He took out his phone and handed it to me. On the screen was a text:

And in her final moments, no one—not one—had reached out to stop it. The mistress had stood by. The grandparents, too. No one had lifted a hand to save her. Tatiana had died alone, surrounded by the very people she had fed and raised. And now, Serena understood: this wasn’t about overwork. It was murder. Premeditated, brutal, and cowardly. Her expression didn’t change, but her voice, when she finally spoke, was like ice cracking over a frozen lake. “Take him away. And make sure the world hears every word of this.”

“Sarah was found dead in her cell this morning.” Silence fell over the kitchen. I didn’t know how to feel. Relief? Sadness? Anger? None of those words seemed right.

But she had also been a broken woman, consumed by her own obsession, and no one deserved to die alone in a cell. “How?” I asked, my voice low. “The message doesn’t say. Only that it was this morning.” He looked at me, his eyes full of something I couldn’t decipher. “It’s over, Lara. For real now.”

She sighted her husband before closing her eyes. " Mia, open your eyes, " She heard Kattie. " Brother! Brother! These doctors are lunatics. They're saying. Michail is dead." the dark engulfed her as tears leaked from her closed eyes.

After two attempts, I gave my all to say my final statement. “She’s dead. Someone killed her. There’s no helping her now.” Those were my last words before I completely ran out of energy. After that, I saw no light. I felt no pain. I heard nothing.

She wanted to watch her death, so she did not shut her eyes while she drove into the pole. Everyone thought it was either careless driving or maybe she lost control of the steering wheel. But only Jasmine was aware of what Marrita did. She had seen Marrita’s note. In it Marrita talked about how she was not going to enslave herself to a man she did not know and how she was going to end it in the best way known to her.
