Chapter 16: Shattered Truth

(Olivia's POV)

I stared at Ethan across his desk. His face was a mask of cold indifference. How could he be

so heartless?

"This is your daughter we're talking about," I whispered, my voice breaking with every word.

Ethan's amber eyes remained distant. Unmoved by my tears.

"I've told you, stop lying about Lily's life. If you needed money, just ask," he said flatly.

Something inside me shattered. The dam holding back my grief finally broke.

"You don't understand," I said, my body trembling uncontrollably. "You never understood."

Ethan sighed impatiently. "What don't I understand, Olivia?"

I looked up at him. My emerald eyes overflowed with tears.

"Lily... she's dead! My Lily... she's really dead!"

My voice broke on the last word. The admission tore through me like a knife.

Ethan's expression shifted from impatience to disbelief. His amber eyes narrowed

dangerously.

"What did you say?" he asked, his voice deceptively soft.

"Our daughter is dead," I repeated. Each word dripped with pain. "She died three months ago.

On her birthday."

Ethan rose from his chair. His powerful frame towered over me.

"Stop lying," he growled, slamming his fist on the desk.

"Lying?" I laughed bitterly through my tears. "Why would I lie about this?"

"To manipulate me. To gain my sympathy. To turn me against Victoria."

His accusation was like another knife to my already bleeding heart. Even now, facing the truth

about our daughter, Victoria was his first concern.

"You think I'd use our daughter's death to manipulate you?" My voice rose with incredulous

anger. “What kind of monster do you think I am?"
