"The lives we lost because of you, the money and your punishment for trying to deceive me. You have a lot to pay for, and trust me your death won't bring a single satisfaction."

His innocent words hung in the air, exposing the fragility of our charade. I struggled to find words that could mend the growing rift between us. Shit. "Alex... I know you are sad right now, but don't confuse me for your mother."I stammered, avoiding Damian's penetrating gaze. The guilt and fear entwined within me as the consequences of my deception became increasingly palpable.

It was as if he could see through the facade I was desperately trying to maintain.

He sighed and said helplessly, “I didn’t admit it. It was your misunderstanding. Initially, I thought my dad had told you something, but now I realize... it was entirely your own misunderstanding. You are so gullible.” Dexie stopped crying for a moment. She raised her head and looked at Luke in disbelief. Then she swallowed and asked, puzzled, “What do you mean by that?” Luke shook his head and, with a forced smile, said helplessly, “I mean you were deceived.” “Luke, you’re the one deceiving me.” Dexie pulled away the hand that was wiping her tears.

“You came here to deceive us, Nina. You pretended to be my daughter in law to deceive everyone. You’re trying to convince everyone you fit into this place?
