Her bedroom. And there, on the screen, was Amelia, snooping around her room, opening drawers and cabinets, her hands rummaging through Ava's personal belongings.Ava's face twisted in rage, her eyes burning with fury. She had been right. Amelia was snooping, trying to uncover her secrets. The betrayal cut deep, and Ava's grip on the counter tightened, her knuckles white with anger.Ava's eyes narrowed as she approached the maid, her voice icy. "Maria, why did you leave Amelia alone in the sitting room? I specifically instructed you to never leave visitors unattended."Maria's eyes widened, her face pale. "I-I'm so sorr

Luke's voice was firm, his eyes resolute. "I'm done, Ava. I refuse to help you again. I can't keep enabling your destructive behavior, your manipulation and hurtful actions. I deserve better, and so do the people you've hurt." Ava's face turned white with rage, her eyes blazing with fury. "Fine!" she spat, her voice venomous. "I don't even need you, Luke. I'll get what I want on my own. And you'll be left behind, wondering what hit you!" With a fierce storm, Ava turned and marched to her room, slamming the door behind her.

He knew he had to stand firm, but a part of him feared what Ava might do next. ~ William's chest heaved, his breathing labored, as he sat in the dark room of the Timberlakes' mansion. The aged woman re-entered, her eyes piercing with a knowing gaze. "Are you ready to talk, William?" she asked, her voice gentle yet

Ava's body began to shake, her eyes wide with a mix of fear and memories that started to resurface. She tried to compose herself, but her voice trembled as she spoke."Lisa, it's time you left."Lisa's eyes narrowed, her voice filled with concern. "What's going on, Ava? Why are you shaking?"Ava's response was barely audible, her eyes darting around the room. "Nothing. It's just... late. Yes, that's it. Late."Lisa's gaze lingered on Ava's face, searching for answers. But Ava's expression was closed off, her secrets locked tightly behind a mask of fear."Okay, Ava," Lisa said softly, her eyes never leaving Ava's face. "I'll go. But promise me you'll be okay."Ava's nod was barely perceptible, her eyes still wide with fear. Lisa hesitated for a moment, then turned and exited the door, leaving Ava alone with her secrets and her pain. As the door closed behind Lisa, Ava's shaking intensified, her body wracked with sobs she couldn't quite release. The memories she had kept hidden for so l

Ava let out a sigh of relief as Amelia closed the door behind her. "Thank you, Doctor Veronica, for being tactful with her. I don't think I'm ready for her to know what we're discussing."Doctor Veronica nodded, her expression understanding. "Ava, everything discussed in this office is strictly confidential. I'm bound by patient-doctor privilege to keep your secrets safe. You can trust that what you share with me will never leave this room."Ava nodded, feeling a sense of gratitude towards the doctor.

To listen, to support, and to help you heal. We'll continue our session next week, and we'll keep working through your past, one step at a time."Ava stood up, feeling a sense of hope that she hadn't felt in years. She knew it wouldn't be easy, but with Doctor Veronica's help, she was ready to face her

Lisa was still in the dark about her true identity, and the congress was moving forward, with Jackson unaware of the impending doom that awaited him.Ava's mind raced with the next steps in her plan. She would continue to manipulate the situation, pushing Jackson to the edge until he had no choice but to come crawling to her.

The end game was near, and Ava was ready to play her final card.Soon her phone vibrated beside her. Ava's phone lit up, and her heart skipped a beat as she saw Stanley's message. Her eyes scanned the screen, and
