After leaving the school premises, Ruby drove straight to the hospital where Mabel was admitted, determined to end her life.

She was confident that no one was watching over Mabel, and this was her chance to eliminate her rival. Once Mabel was gone, she planned to send Chloe far away from Brian. Nothing would stand in her way—not even her own family.

Ruby walked directly to Mabel’s ward. As she entered, her suspicions were confirmed; Mabel was indeed alone. This was the perfect time for Ruby to act.

Noticing that Mabel was not on oxygen and appeared to be in a deep sleep, Ruby decided to use the pillow beside Mabel to strangle her. But as soon as she touched the pillow, Mabel’s hand moved, causing Ruby to drop it.

Ruby glanced at Mabel, who still showed no signs of waking up. Just as she contemplated grabbing the pillow again, the nurse in charge of Mabel entered the ward.

    Krayon looked at his mother, his smile growing wider as he could no longer contain his joy."Are you pregnant, Mabel? You don't know how happy you've made me just now! I can't believe we're having a baby together!" Krayon exclaimed, raising Chloe off the ground in a bridal style.Brian, witnessing Krayon's happiness, found it impossible to continue lying to him. "That's Chloe, not Mabel," he said, and as soon as the words left his mouth, Krayon dropped his arms, causing Chloe to fall. He looked at Brian, who was now laughing at him."Careful with me before I break your leg, young man!" Chloe said as she stood up, but Krayon ignored her."Then if she's not Mabel, where is Mabel?" he asked, the loneliness he had felt since yesterday creeping back."That's what I've been asking Brian since I got here, and no one seems to know her whereabouts," Chloe lied."You’re looking for Mabel, right? Follow me," Brian said, leading them to the ward where Mabel was admitted."Look at her. Are you ha

    Krayon stood frozen, staring at the girl Brian had just introduced as Chloe. Her expression was sharp and unwelcoming. She looked at him like he was something unpleasant stuck to her shoe, her annoyance plain as day. It wasn’t just her glare that unsettled him—it was the way his stomach churned under her scrutiny. Only Chloe’s face had this strange way of making him feel nauseous, like a bad memory resurfacing.His gaze flickered to hers, and in that moment, the memory hit him like a slap. School. He remembered how she had beaten him up, leaving him humiliated and bruised. It all made sense now. Mabel—sweet, calm Mabel—could never have hurt him like that. No, it wasn’t her. It had been Chloe all along."If you're Mabel’s sister, then where is Mabel?" Krayon’s voice broke the tense silence as his eyes darted between Chloe and Brian. He was searching for some kind of explanation, some clue, but neither of them said a word. Their silence felt deliberate, a wall he couldn’t break through.

    Brian sat at his desk, his eyes glued to the laptop screen as his fingers danced over the keyboard. Ruby stood behind him, her hands gently massaging his shoulders. A soft smile played on her lips, though her mind was already racing ahead."I’ve been thinking, Brian," Ruby began, her voice sweet and measured. "You know Claire has that competition coming up. How about enrolling her in a cooking school? She could really improve her skills there. Actually…" She hesitated before adding with a triumphant smile, "I’ve already done it. She’ll stay there until the session is over."Brian’s fingers paused for a brief moment, though his gaze remained fixed on the screen. "Thanks, Ruby," he replied calmly, "but you should have informed her before making that decision. Remember, Claire is older than you. You need her permission before taking such a step."Ruby frowned, her smile faltering. "But she needs it," she pressed, her tone firm.Brian finally turned to look at her, his expression unreadab

    The red droplets falling from Aaron's bloodied fist matched the intensity of his hatred. "Brian, you can take everything else, but I won't let you have her," he snarled at the empty room, his words echoing off the pristine walls of the family estate. But fate, as it often does, had already set its wheels in motion long before this moment of desperation.Earlier that afternoon, the air had been thick with tension in the same room where Aisha sat, her perfectly manicured nails drumming against the mahogany armrest as she voiced her frustrations. "Ever since the party, I haven't heard from Mabel again. Her line isn't going through." She cast a calculating glance between Aunt Shawn and Aaron, her eyes betraying the machinations behind them. "I hope she hasn't changed her mind. I really need her to cause division between her and Ruby."Aaron, who had been standing by the window, turned to face her. The sunlight streaming through the glass caught the sharp angles of his face as he delivered

No one would ever know Mabel had been murdered.She gripped the small vial of poison in her pocket tightly as she took a deep breath.

    “Brian!” The voice called out again, cutting through the stillness of the room.“Wait, I’m coming!” Brian replied, hastily adjusting himself. Ruby, who had been comfortably seated on his lap, stood up, her cheeks flushed as she grabbed a towel to wrap around herself. The soft fabric clung to her curves, but her attention was quickly drawn to the door as Brian opened it to reveal Chloe, standing there with an expression that flickered between hope and dread.“Mabel has woken up!” Chloe shouted, her voice bright with joy, but just as quickly, her eyes dimmed, casting a shadow over her excitement. Brian noticed the abrupt shift, his heart sinking as he took in Chloe’s sudden change in demeanor.“What’s wrong, Chloe?” he asked gently, concern etching lines on his forehead. “I thought you said your sister had just woken up. Why do you look so sad?”“She’s suffering from memory loss,” Chloe admitted, her voice trembling. “The doctor says she has the brain of a child now, and we need to be t

There was no relief, no joy, no sorrow—just a blank slate that made it impossible to guess what had happened at the hospital."How is she? Is she okay?" Claire asked, closing her book and setting it aside. Her voice was calm, but there was a slight edge to it, a sharpness that betrayed her concern.Ruby, still engrossed in her script, didn’t even notice Brian’s arrival until he crossed the room.
