A frown crossed Tedmond’s face when he saw the two women sitting in front of him. They each had forced smiles on their faces as they stared at him.

“Hello, brother!” Maxine said, batting her eyelashes. “I didn’t get to see her eyes earlier. She does look like you with those sparkling eyes.”

Bianca raised her head to look at Tedmond, and seeing the frown on his face, she knew they were people he wasn’t comfortable with.

The woman next to Maxine was Evelyn, and her fake smile looked more like a grimace with the way one side of her face twitched and knotted.

“She looks more like that maid,” Evelyn claimed. “The maid who seduced my husband!”

“Right, isn’t it?” Maxine said with a little smile on her face.

Their voices were loud enough to catch the attention of a few diners. First, they made it seem like they were family, and then they hinted that he was an illegitimate child.

“I was pissed when Tedmond took after his maid mother instead of my husband,” Evelyn said, acting pitiful. “I thoug

    "We want to make it right," Mr. Hargrove interrupted. "We will give you money. Consider it compensation for your suffering. Ten million dollars, immediately, in your personal account. But you must let us handle Amara quietly."Lisa’s brow furrowed into an icy frown. "Ten million? My life is worth ten million to you?""Lisa, please be reasonable," her mother pleaded. "It’s a fortune."Lisa stared at them for a long, agonizing minute. Then, the tension in her shoulders evaporated. A small, chilling smile touched her lips. "Fine. Give me the money."The parents sighed in relief, quickly pulling out their phones to authorize the transfer."It’s done," her father said. "Ten million is yours."Lisa looked at the notification on her screen, then looked back up. Her smile widened, but it didn't reach her eyes. "It’s not enough. Not nearly enough for the 'trauma' of having my own parents choose a murderer over me.""I’ll add five million," Daniel said quickly, desperate to keep the peace."

    Amara saw exactly what Lisa was doing, and a hard frown crossed her face. Her brows twitched with rage, and her eyes darkened."She’s just angry because she got caught," Matthew muttered, though he looked visibly disturbed by the screeching echoing from behind the oak panels."Is that all it is?" Lisa asked, her eyes wide with faux innocence. She leaned closer to the brothers, lowering her voice. "I’m starting to get worried. What are you actually going to do with her? Look at the evidence. She attacked me in the middle of the night with a needle. She’s screaming about conspiracies and 'grins' that no one else saw."She paused, watching the realization dawn on their faces."Amara might have truly lost it," Lisa continued, her voice dripping with artificial sympathy. "To attack her own sister like that... in her own home? Only a person who has lost their mind would be that reckless. Don't you think she needs help? The kind of help only a locked facility can provide?""You mean... an

    The morning light filtered through the hallway windows, gray and cold, as the front doors of the Hargrove mansion swung open.Lisa was flanked by Matthew and Daniel, her weight leaning heavily into them.A white bandage was wrapped neatly around her forearm where the needle had pierced her, and she looked smaller, more fragile than she ever had before.“Easy, Lisa,” Matthew whispered, his hand firm at her waist as they reached the foot of the grand staircase. “Just a few more steps. The doctor said the antidote worked, but you need to rest.”Lisa’s head lolled slightly, eyes downcast. “You shouldn’t have brought me back here,” she murmured, her voice thin and hollow. “Just take me to a hotel. Somewhere far away.”“Don’t say that,” Daniel said, his jaw tight with guilt. “This is your home. We’re never letting her touch you again.”A soft, bitter laugh escaped Lisa before breaking into a cough.“It doesn’t matter. You’ll believe her anyway. You always do. By this afternoon, she’ll have

    The heavy door slammed shut with a finality that seemed to vibrate through the floorboards.For a long, suffocating minute, Amara remained on the floor, the image of Lisa’s predatory grin burned into her retinas.The silence in the room was heavier than the noise had been. The reality of the trap set by her sister, the betrayal of her parents, and the recording, the digital proof of her own voice admitting to murder, swirled in her head until she couldn’t breathe.“Aaaaaah!”A blood-curdling shriek tore from Amara’s throat.This wasn’t the dainty, practiced sob of a victim; it was the howl of a cornered animal. Scrambling to her feet, her vision blurred in a red haze of fury.“I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you, Lisa!”Spinning toward the vanity, Amara snatched up a heavy crystal vase, the one her mother had given her for her nineteenth birthday, and hurled it against the wall.It shattered into a thousand glittering shards.The destruction didn’t stop there.Designer chairs were kicked ove

    Lisa’s body twitched violently, her limbs spasming across the floor as if the very life were being scorched out of her. Her head thrashed from side to side, and a low, guttural rattling sound escaped her throat.Watching the spectacle, Amara threw her head back and laughed. It was a jagged, piercing sound that filled the room with madness.“Hahahahahahahahahahha!”"Finally!" Amara shrieked, clutching the empty syringe like a trophy. "Finally, the intruder is gone! You thought you could come into my house and take my legacy? You’re nothing, Lisa! Just a corpse in a designer room! Die! Just die already!"Suddenly, the heavy bedroom door didn't just open; it exploded inward.The crash silenced Amara’s laughter instantly.Matthew, Ethan, and Daniel charged into the room, their faces pale with horror.Behind them stood their father and mother, their eyes wide with a mixture of shock and fury.Every single one of them held a phone, the screens glowing not with flashlights, but with active r

  • CHAPTER 585

    2:00 AMIn the guest wing, the door to a cramped back room creaked open.Amara stepped into the hall, her face a mask of cold, calculated fury. The whining had stopped. The tears were gone. In their place was a singular, deadly focus. Clutching a small, pressurized canister stolen from the gardening shed earlier that evening, she moved like a wraith. The canister contained a potent, fast-acting sedative spray meant for aggressive animals, now spiked with a chemical relaxant scavenged from the back of the medicine cabinet.Bare feet made no sound on the carpet as she reached Lisa’s door—her door. It was unlocked, exactly as she had hoped.Amara didn't enter immediately. Instead, she donned a thick, industrial face mask tucked into her waistband. Cracking the door just a fraction of an inch, she inserted the nozzle.Pssssssssssssst.A fine, odorless mist hissed into the room, swirling through the air and settling over the bed. Amara waited, counting the seconds with a rhythmic puls
