Anticipation hung in the air as Mrs. Karishin walked towards the front door. It opened, revealing her elegant figure. Her eyes scanned the room, taking in the balloons, a cake, loads of decorations, and her portrait displayed in the center.

Though surprised to see a party, she had no clue what was happening.

“What the heck is this?” she asked, attempting politeness, but her tone came out demanding.

Oliver, Liam, Noah, and James flinched, regretting their decision to enter the mansion. However, Kyle and Tedmond weren’t as shaken. Kyle was beaming, while Tedmond remained expressionless.

“Mom!” Kyle squealed like a little kid. “You’re here!”

Mrs. Karishin’s gaze shifted to Tedmond, who held a bow and arrow.

“Hello, Mrs. Karishin,” Tedmond muttered. Kyle had hastily handed him the bow and arrow when they saw her arriving on camera.

"Shoot the balloon at the top," he’d instructed.

Mrs. Karishin glanced around at the decorations, her brow furrowing as she tried to make sense of it all.

    Lisa’s voice rang loud and sharp, making her mother flinch. The woman hadn’t expected her to snap.Her father raised a hand, opening his mouth to speak, but Lisa cut him off, her eyes blazing.“I said go! I’m not dying here, and I don’t need you hovering over me like I’m a child! Leave!”Her parents exchanged a glance, their calm demeanor unshaken. Lisa’s frown deepened as she folded her arms over her chest.Her heart raced, but so did her resolve.She would make them understand. She would protect her baby, no matter what.Her father’s jaw tightened, his voice low and sharp. “Lisa, you’re a filial daughter. You should never speak to us like that. Amara would never dare say anything like this to us. Sometimes I wonder if I should have ever given birth to you… maybe you were a mistake.”Lisa’s eyes widened in disbelief.Her chest heaved with anger, and she shot up from the bed, pointing a trembling finger at him. “Is that why you let Amara do all those things to me? Lie about everythin

    There was no way to make them understand without the evidence.Her hands clenched in her lap, fingernails digging into the sheets as her eyes narrowed at Amara.She didn’t say a word—she let the silence hang, heavy and accusing, letting the tension speak for her.Amara’s gaze flicked nervously between Lisa and the brothers, her act of pitiful innocence beginning to crumble.Every passing second made the sweat on her brow feel hotter, and every glance of suspicion in their eyes made her panic rise.Ethan exchanged a glance with Daniel and Matthew.“Fine,” he said finally, his voice clipped. “Let’s see the footage.”Amara’s stomach twisted.She swallowed hard, her throat dry, and tried again to talk them out of it.“Please… really, it’s unnecessary. You’ll see—it’ll just be a misunderstanding. Trust me.”But the brothers’ expressions hardened. Their frowns deepened as they stared at her.Daniel crossed his arms. “You’re the one panicking, Amara. You’ve been trying to make this about Lis

    Amara froze on the floor, her heart pounding in her chest. The mention of the security camera sent panic racing through her veins.She needed to turn this around fast.Instead of getting up, she grabbed Lisa’s hand tightly, clutching it as though pleading.“Lisa, please,” she whispered desperately, her eyes glossy with fake tears. “I know you’re angry at me, but I didn’t mean for things to turn out like this. I was scared… I was confused… Please don’t hate me.”Lisa’s jaw tightened. She yanked her hand away, her patience snapping.“Let go of me.”Amara refused.She clung tighter, her nails digging into Lisa’s skin. “Please, Lisa! I’m sorry! I just wanted us to go back to how things used to be.”“I said let go!” Lisa snapped, snatching her hand back sharply.Amara immediately threw herself backward, her body hitting the cold hospital floor with a loud thud.She gasped dramatically, clutching her cheek as though Lisa had struck her.The brothers instantly took a step forward, startled b

    After seeing Amara freeze, Ethan grew even more suspicious. After all, they had found Amara in Lisa’s room—not the other way around.And it was Lisa who had been in pain, completely unaware of whether anyone was home.There was no way she could have staged such a scene.Amara hesitated for a split second, then lowered her gaze, her voice softening into something pitiful.“Because she wanted to make herself look like the victim… she knew you’d all side with her if she got hurt. She planned it—she wanted sympathy.”Matthew glanced at Ethan, uncertain.“You think she’s telling the truth?” he asked quietly.Ethan didn’t answer

    Lisa gasped as pain shot through her scalp, her grip loosening on Amara.The next second, the housekeeper shoved her hard.“Miss Amara, are you okay?” the woman asked frantically, helping her up.Lisa stumbled back, her balance slipping as her hip slammed against the edge of the table. Then—Thud!Her body folded over the corner, sharp pain slicing through her abdomen. Her eyes widened in horror as she fell to the floor, clutching her belly.“My baby…” she gasped weakly, her voice trembling. “My baby—!”The housekeeper’s eyes went wide, her face draining of color as

    Lisa’s eyes widened.Though she had come back, she never imagined Amara would still hit her—just like she used to in the past.She had thought she could finally rest here, but if this was how things were going to be, she would’ve rather stayed with the Griffins than return to this hellhole.“You think you can talk to me like that after everything I’ve done for this family?” Amara spat. “After you dared to crawl back here as if you belonged?”Lisa slowly turned her head toward her, breathing unevenly but eyes defiant. The pain on her cheek was clear, yet her pride refused to crumble.Amara smirked at that stubborn look, stepping closer until her shadow fell over Lisa.“Still pretending to be strong, huh?” she whispered mockingly. “Let’s see how long that lasts.”Lisa’s cheek burned where Amara’s hand had struck her. She didn’t move for a moment, just sat there with her hair falling over her face, the silence heavy except for the faint ticking of the clock.Then, slowly, she lifted her
