Bryan glanced at Stacy as she opened her eyes and smiled at him holding his hand, "So, have you stopped hating me?" she asked with a hopeful look towards him.

Bryan shouted at her foolish question rather than saying how she is feeling currently, "Are you crazy? You just woke up and this is what you want to talk about? Rather than saying how you're feeling, why are you asking this nonsense stuff?"

Stacy smiled again and tried to sit up, Bryan gently helped her. "Are you feeling okay? Do you feel pain anywhere?"

"I’m fine, stop looking at me with that face," Stacy replied caressing his face but hissed in pain due to her hand injury, still she managed to ask, "When did you get here, and why am I even here? Who brought me here?"

Bryan looked around, trying to avoid the question, "umm, first drink some water," Bryan made her to drink water, but still Stacy didn't give up on her question, "Bryan what exactly you're trying to hide? Who exactly brought me here? How did I end up here?" Brya

    "You called me sister. I never thought this day would come, right?" Stacy smiled giving her answer, while Bryan rolled his eyes at her foolish answer after going through such torture, and Stacy chuckled after looking at his expression. "Well, I'm half-serious, half-joking. But this whole situation showed how much you care about me and it made clear to you regarding how unfair, things are in this house. Even Mia and Nancy realised too. All these might help you."Bryan closed his eyes, trying to get some sleep not paying attention to her words. "I didn't want any of this. I just wanted to help you, and I did, I don't need anyone's support or sympathy since I didn't expect anything for helping you." Stacy responded gently turning to face Bryan, "I know you don't need it, but you also learned that you're not the only one who has been treated badly, right?"Bryan expressed how he was surprised when he got to know about that. "I never imagined you three went through the same thing. I alway

    "Bryan," Stacy began to speak trying to explain, but Bryan cut her off with a sigh. "I'm not interested in listening to you or your nonsense Ms. Mia. I’m someone who makes you lose your appetite with my low-class behaviour, so I don't want to bother you. Go ahead and have your breakfast in peace with your sisters and brother."Stacy was taken aback, remembering that she had said these exact words to him before. Hearing them from him now to remind her of the past, hurts more than she expected. "Bryan, I'm sorry. I apologize for everything, actually I didn't mean it like that," she spoke with a trembling voice being emotional for the behaviour she showed towards Bryan back in the past.Bryan gave her a cold stare rather than listening to her emotional words. "Did I ask for your apology?" Bryan wasn't back into the house for a family or emotional drama, so he decided it was best for him to be away from every attachment they're trying to use on him.Mia, who became blank hearing to him fi

    "Nothing," Bryan tried to hide, but Stacy cut him off with a sigh. "Bryan, I heard everything clearly, so stop trying to hide it from me," she said, wincing as she walked. Bryan gently took her hand and guided her to the couch, helping her sit down. "Just look at what happened to you because of taking my side. Are you sure you want to keep going through this by being involved with me?" he asked being baffled by her stubbornness to take his side.Stacy nodded firmly not at all worrying about the consequences. "Not just once, but as many times as it takes. I'm not going to leave you alone my dear little brother," she replied with a bright smile. Seeing how determined she was, Bryan gave in and told her everything. Stacy frowned expressing her thoughts. "It sounds like they’re planning something, just like you suspected. If not, Mom would definitely be worried.""Worried?" Ronald mumbled being confused, Stacy explained the things that were going on in her mind, "Dad is on Bryan’s side ri

    "What?" Josephine sighed, noticing Bryan's confused expression, she couldn't understand what Bryan's words meant by, but he quickly backed away from her as if he witnessed a ghost. When Josephine tried to move closer to him, Bryan stepped further away and stood next to Stacy not allowing Josephine to get closer to him. Worried by Bryan's strange behaviour, Stacy asked, "What’s wrong, Bryan?" Instead of answering, Bryan just bit his lip, while deep in his mind he is finding the similarity in between two sentences. Stacy grew more concerned looking at Bryan's expression, and then Alicia approached with a box she brought. Still dazed, Bryan didn’t seem to notice the presence of Alicia in front of him, until Stacy gently tapped his hand calling out his name. "Bryan!" He was snapped out of his thoughts with a startled gasp, "Huh?" Stacy gestured towards Alicia, who was holding out the box and standing in front of him, Bryan was confused about what to do, Stacy whispered, him to take the

    "Yes," Bryan nodded confirming their assumption to be real, "it's her." Stacy and Ronald were both quiet for a minute after Bryan's confirmation, not fully grasping what they just heard in fact both of them weren't sure how to react at that moment. Stacy had a clueless look on her face, extreme silence filled in the room as three of them are calm without uttering a single word, while Ronald finally broke the silence being unable to hold back his curiosity, "Do you even know what you're saying? Are you drunk or what?"Bryan stood up from the bed with a sigh in frustration, "I know exactly what I'm saying. It's not just a guess, I'm certain regarding what I'm speaking about." Stacy asked trying to make sure once again that Bryan is certain, "What makes you so sure? How did you come to the conclusion that it's none other than our mom?" "The things she said just now, they’re the same lines that have stuck with me. Even her voice, it matches. It's her. She’s the one behind everything tha

    "Grandma!" Bryan and Stacy were both shocked to see Alicia in front of them. Ronald was just as surprised as both Bryan and Stacy. All three of them were nervous, worried that Alicia might have overheard their conversation. They stayed quiet, trying to figure out with what kind of explanation they're supposed to cover it up if Alicia were to bring up about their conversation but first they tried to read her expression to know whether she heard them or not.Stacy broke the silence finally trying to know how much Alicia has heard from their entire conversation, "When did you get here, Grandma?" Alicia smiled gently with her reply, "Just now sweetie." The three of them took a breath in relief, realizing she hadn't overheard anything and kept their worries aside since they don't have to come up with an explanation."I actually came here to talk to Bryan," Alicia continued while getting closer to Bryan, "but it seems like I interrupted some serious conversation between you three. Did I?" S

    "What do you mean by that, Bryan?" Stacy asked, confused by Bryan's question to their grandmother, she couldn't understand how Bryan can ask such a foolish question out of nowhere. Bryan glanced at Alicia still finding an answer to his question. "I never introduced Ron as my best friend, and you didn’t know him before either. So how are you so sure he’s a good friend of mine? How come you're with the conclusion that he always accompanies me?" Alicia stayed calm but didn’t answer immediately. Stacy intervened to answer instead of Alicia, "Dad probably told Grandma on the way home that you were here with your friend. Since Ron’s tagging along with you, she must’ve figured he’s a good friend. What’s the big deal? Why are you curious about everything like a kid?"Alicia nodded agreeing with Stacy's words. "Yes, your dad told me about this in the morning, however looking at you with this boy here, I realised you both are truly good friends who support each other."Though Stacy and Ronald

    "Bryan, it's not that we're suspicious of you, we know very well about what kind of person you are, and there's no way for me to have a bad impression on you," Officer Hobbes said gently, noticing Bryan’s silence being worried about him. "I just want to help if something is bothering you, you've always been a lot of helpful for us, so I want to help you too in return."Bryan's face had drained of color, completely turning into pale, the weight of his past life memories overwhelming him, the words got struck within his throat because of painful memories rewinding in front of him. But he reminded himself that those memories were from his previous life, and he wouldn't let that happen again."I'm sorry, Officer," Bryan finally responded, he managed to keep the voice steady despite its shaky. "I was lost in thought hearing about toxic levels in the liquid I asked you to inquire about. There's nothing I'm hiding from you, the first suspicion in me grew noticing that liquid placed in a care

    "What the meaning of this?" Bryan felt inwardly, but not wasting anytime, he left the room, and as he was on his way to leave the floor, he was caught by Jake.Without letting him to notice, Bryan hid the piece in his pocket, Jake frowned, "what are you doing here?" "Why should I answer to you?" Bryan crossed his arms, clenching his fist, Jake sighed, "Bryan, don't push your luck too much." Just then Mia who heard the commotion came there, "What's happening here?""Sister," Jake rushed to Mia, but Mia, ignoring Jake went to Bryan, "What happened?"Bryan shrugged his shoulders, "nothing, I was casually walking here, he came and started this commotion." "Jake, aren't you supposed to be in your room? What are you doing here?" Mia sighed, making Jake to shout at her, "Why are you believing him instead of me? You should believe in me, not him." Mia pinched her brows, "Bryan is my brother, ofcourse I'll believe in him over a liar like you, go back to your room before I call grandma, if

    "Grandma?" Bryan said with a small smile getting up from the chair, "I’m just going through these, nothing important, why are you here anyway grandma? Do you want anything?" "No dear," Alicia tilted her head slightly, her eyes twinkling with affection, as she looked at Bryan who resembles her late husband, "You’re just like your grandfather, always diving into work. Too much, if you ask me, unlike your father, who is so lazy to work." Bryan chuckled softly, "Working keeps me focused grandma! I don't like being lazy." "I can understand," she walked over close to him and looked around only to the find many records on the table, "You must've been so busy while looking into these, aren't you?" Bryan scratched his head with a forced smile, "Well, you can say that grandma!" "My dear, you shouldn't push yourself more than necessary," Alicia's expression turned serious for a moment. "I don’t know what’s been happening in this house lately, Bryan, but all I want is for you to stay safe,

    SOMETHING CONSPIRACY

    "Why is this mystery never ending?" Bryan sat in his study, surrounded by stacks of old documents and family records. Unaware of what Josephine is plotting behind his back, he is so busy in getting the truth that was buried in the past. The faint glow of the desk lamp made him feel uneasy to stare at the papers, however he is so busy and involved in flipping the pages. He had been checking through the Winterwood archives for hours, determined to find any trace of evidence to support his suspicions regarding the mysteries. As he reached the bottom of an old wooden chest, a red envelope caught his attention. The paper looked too old, the edges were torn, and the handwriting on the front unmistakably belonged to his late grandfather, Edward Winterwood, "grandfather? This handwriting is similiar to grandfather's, I still remember the handwriting of grandfather from my previous life while helping my father, if so why is grandfather's handwritten paper is here?" With a curiosity, he

    "Sure, I can," Stacy said and took the file, as she checked the details, apart from very minimalistic nothing else found, "Bryan, if you don't mind, can I ask who is this man? If you don't want to say it's okay." Bryan took a deep breath and said the conversation he had before with officer Hobbes."What the!" Stacy was beyond surprised, "how can this be?" Bryan replied, "I don't know either, but the maid is already dead too, I don't believe our mom is doing all the things alone, I'm sure someone must be helping her," Stacy looked curious, "so, did you figure out anything more about these things?" Bryan sighed, leaning back to the bedframe, "Not yet, but I have a feeling this man from mom's past holds the key to everything. If I can figure out who he is, I might be able to predict her next move, until then I'm not sure of anything because things are different from my previous life at this moment, so I can't take a blind step believing in intuition." Stacy frowned in deep thought. "

    "These are the files you're supposed to look at and take care of," Josephine sat at her desk in the office, glaring daggers as everyone who was looking down on her, whereas Nancy, had been firm but fair in her leadership. To Josephine, it felt like a constant reminder of her fall from grace. Once the madam of the Winterwood household, but she was now reduced to a subordinate, a reality she bitterly hatred.Just then, her phone buzzed on the desk. It was a text from Bryan, "I think you love your new life, Mrs. Winterwood." Josephine slammed her phone down, with an angry look, "The audacity of that bastard to treat me this way! I don't know what got into him out of a sudden, all these years, I've tamed him perfectly, but he became a fox out of a sudden pulling strings to annoy me." When Nancy walked into the room, holding another set of reports, Josephine couldn’t contain her anger."Just because your father made you a CEO, do you think you're superior to me?" she hissed, with a ton

    "Mother," Josephine spoke in a low tone, "you know whatever I do, it is for this family, I've been in this house for so long serving as his wife and your daughter-in-law, I built the reputation of this family along with my husband, how can you say this to me when I was also a part of the glory now winterwood family enjoying?"Alicia snapped at her, "glory? You brought nothing but shame, don't forget how you became the daughter-in-law of this family, from that day till now, there's nothing but humiliation and insults surrounding this family." Josephine opened her mouth to respond, but before she could, Bryan finally stepped forward, "Grandma, right now, I don't think it's important for us to discuss the past." Everyone turned to him, with a curious and surprised expression trying to know what he is trying to do, as they're not sure why Bryan is helping Josephine who treats him nothing but as an enemy."Bryan, this is none of your concern," Neil said sharply. "I advise you to stay out

    "So, are you pitying me?" Bryan asked making Ronald to smile, "not once but thrice, because you'll be one's husband and forever brother to two sisters, I think sister Stacy is also one of them, so not even thrice but four times I pity on you." Bryan rolled his eyes, Mia who glanced at Ronald and Bryan speaking to eachother just frowned, when Ronald looked at her, she immediately turned her face away."Why is she angry with you?" Bryan who observed the fierce reaction of Mia, asked Ronald, but he just lied, "I don't know." At the sametime, Stacy came with a smile, "everything is done, we can go home now." Bryan held Mirabel's hand, "I want to take you home, but this isn't the right time Mira, so...." "Come on prince, did I ever blame you for anything?" Mirabel gently hugged him, "I'll go back to dorm, don't forget to give a call when you reach home."

    'If you ever tarnish this family’s name again," Mr. Wilson continued, with a cold voice, "I will cut you off entirely from this family, no more money, no more support, no more anything. You’ll be on your own, do you understand me?"Tracy nodded slowly, her lower lip trembling. "I understand," she whispered .Her mother folded her arms, her expression still harsh but slightly softened, as after all Tracy is their only daughter whom they loved and cherished a lot."Good, and as for the Winterwoods, we’ll be distancing ourselves from them for a while. After what you’ve done, I don’t want to see or hear their name in this house," those words from her mother left Tracy to be heartbroken.Tracy’s head shot up, panic flashing in her eyes. "No, please! Don’t do that! I—I’ll fix this! I’ll apologize to Bryan, to everyone, and I'm sure Bryan will believe in me, he'll forgive me, I'm the only friend he had, so give me a chance to apologize to Bryan."
