Harold rose to his feet, stepping closer to Tedmond and Kyle, a maniacal look in his eyes. “You should know your place, bastard. Max is only here to finalize the marriage between him and Melody. It would help if you stayed out of it. Go home now!”

The words hit Melody like a ton of bricks. “How dare you treat me like a thing you can just marry off to your useless son, Max?” she bellowed. “Get out of my house before I call the cops!”

“We would’ve gotten what we wanted before the cops arrived,” Max said. “And even if they do come, we have more than enough money to get them off our backs.”

Melody’s glare intensified. “You bastard! How are you even related to Tedmond? He’s ten times better than you’ll ever be.”

Max began rising to his feet, his nose red and slightly broken, with blood trickling down to his jaw.

“That won’t last long,” Max said. “Once we deal with him, you’ll stop admiring that son of a maid.”

Tedmond, however, remained silent after hearing his father’s words. Harold grinn

  • CHAPTER 587

    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

    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

    Lisa sat on the edge of the plush, oversized mattress, spine straight and legs crossed with an air of newfound authority. For a fleeting second, the softness of silk sheets felt like a victory lap. But then, the reality of whose sanctuary this had been hit like a physical wave of nausea.A downward glance at the duvet, a custom designer piece Amara had bragged about for months, brought a crawl of skin-deep revulsion. This was the bed where Amara had slept while plotting accidents.This was the very spot where the girl had sat while laughing at Nika’s tragedy."Disgusting," Lisa muttered.Standing abruptly, her eyes scanned the room until they landed on the linen closet near the ensuite bathroom. A frantic search through the shelves yielded fresh, crisp white sheets that still smelled of laundry detergent, a welcome relief from Amara’s cloying, expensive perfume. With aggressive, jerky movements, Lisa stripped the bed and draped the new linens, layering them thick so that not an in

    Lisa looked at her brother, a frown deepening on her face. Her brows twitched with disgust before her features settled into a cold sneer."And I’m giving you your freedom," Lisa countered. "Sign it. Now. In front of the lawyer."Desperate to end the nightmare, the brothers scribbled their digital signatures onto the new occupancy agreement. Once the lawyer confirmed the document was filed, Lisa finally pulled up the recording. With a few calculated taps, she hit delete and turned the screen to show them the empty folder."Now," Lisa said, her voice turning sharp as she pointed toward the hallway. "Get out. All of you. This is my room now.""But Amara is hurt—" Ethan started."OUT!" Lisa roared.She shoved them toward the threshold. As the brothers stumbled into the hall, Lisa slammed the heavy door shut. Click! In the hallway, the silence was broken by a soft gasp. Amara’s eyes rolled back into her head, and she slumped toward the floor in a dramatic, graceful faint.Ethan and Dani

    The room fell silent.No one spoke. No one moved.Lisa arched a brow and tilted her head, waiting for a response, but none came at first.Then Matthew broke.“No!” he cried, stepping between Lisa and the bed. “We can’t do that. Amara is a Valerius. If she goes to prison for attempted murder, our reputation is finished. The family name will be dragged through the mud. Everything we’ve worked for, the business, the legacy, it’ll all vanish in a day.”Lisa let out a jagged, disbelieving laugh.“Reputation?” she snapped. “You’re sitting here defending a murderer because you’re worried about your social standing? Does my friend’s life mean nothing to you? Does my life mean nothing?”“We’re not saying it doesn’t matter,” Ethan said sharply, though he still couldn’t meet her eyes. “We’re saying there has to be another way. Anything but the police, Lisa. Do you want money? The estate? We can set up a trust. We can give you whatever you need to disappear, or to live comfortably.”Amara, watchi
