Daphne bowed her head. She looked at Regina with a look filled with hatred. The friendly face she always had when she was with her private nurse was gone. Replaced by a face full of rage."How dare you do this to me, Regina. I trusted you all this time."Regina's tears flowed even more. She trembled with regret that she couldn't put into words.For Daphne had indeed trusted Regina all this time. She considered the young girl not only as her private nurse but also as a confidante. They talked about many things all the time. Every day. And what had happened that night, Daphne really couldn't understand."Why did you do this to me, Regina? How could you be so cruel to me?"Regina closed her eyes. Her tears were uncontrollable. But truly, that was nothing compared to the remorse that consumed her heart."I am sorry, madam. Please forgive me."Ignoring Regina's apology, Daphne turned to Yocelyn a moment later. Unlike Regina, who seemed full of guilt, Yocelyn seemed calmer. To the point whe

Allowing the tears to flow freely down her relaxed cheeks, Daphne fought with all her might to stop the sobs. But with each passing second, the opposite seemed to be happening. The cries and the pain sank deeper into her heart."Forgive me. Forgive me, Allan."The remorse grew rapidly, spreading to every corner of Daphne's heart. It made her realize the promise she had been forced to break. By revealing everything that had happened to Garrett, her long-held fears would finally come true. Garrett would feel compelled to peel away the layers covering the truth. He would embark on a journey of revenge. And that would lead to one of Daphne's fears. Garrett would be threatened. Just like Allan had experienced.But Daphne felt she was at the same crossroads, each option carrying its own risks. Dishonesty would leave Garrett unaware of who he was really dealing with. On the other hand, honesty would make Garrett feel the pressure of accountability.All this time, Daphne had only been able to

Like any typical funeral, the atmosphere was tinged with tears of sorrow. They came from those who took the time to accompany the deceased to their final resting place. Dressed in all black, their faces were filled with grief and tears flowed endlessly.Clearly engraved on the headstone was the name of Daphne Billings, who took her last breath at an age no longer considered young. She left behind a large family who seemed deeply affected by her departure. Resting forever beside her husband's grave, Daphne had completed her journey in this world. Gone for eternity, leaving her loved ones in a grief they had never imagined.No one had anticipated Daphne's swift departure. An elderly woman who seemed healthy and vibrant suddenly passed away without any sign of illness or discomfort. But isn't that the way fate always is? It arrives and snatches away loved ones without warning, as if to plant the most painful surprise deep in everyone's minds.Among those who never expected it was Garrett

Amber left Garrett's office, leaving him alone. He was not working right away as usual, apparently the lingering grief was preventing him from concentrating. A single knock drew Garrett's attention to the door, which opened to welcome Carolus inside. As he approached Garrett, Carolus sat directly in front of him after a brief handshake. It was enough for him to notice how tired Garrett looked. His face seemed truly disheveled from the mixture of fatigue and sadness. "I apologize for keeping you waiting." "It's okay," Garrett replied quietly. "I'm actually grateful that you could find the time to come." It was a strange thing for Carolus. Something that made him wonder. And Garrett could read the expression clearly. The man's face looked cynical for a moment. "I can't trust anything back home. I don't want to take any chances with walls that have ears." Carolus understood. Thanks to the incident with Yocelyn and Regina, Garrett was undoubtedly more cautious now. Especially since

Ariel froze. He could not believe what his ears were hearing, but Farrah's words were crystal clear. But how could Ariel believe that?M-Mama?Trying to breathe in the sudden horror that coursed through his body, Ariel's body suddenly shook violently. He almost thought he wouldn't be able to hold on. He could have collapsed any moment. Because a question quickly appeared in his mind. An echo.H-How could it be? No. It's impossible that mom would kill Nana.Ariel tried to deny reality. But when he had witnessed it all with his own eyes and ears, what else could he do? Except do his best to get out of there. With dragging steps, as if he had no strength left.Clinging to the wall, Ariel felt an indescribable cold enveloping his entire body. It almost made him think he wouldn't be able to reach his car. And when he sat behind the wheel, instead of driving away immediately, he was stunned.Farrah's face, radiant with a blooming smile, lingered in Ariel's mind. No matter how hard he tried
