Chapter 27: Denied Truth and Hidden Secrets

(Olivia's POV)

His body went rigid. The muscles in his jaw tightened as he turned to face me.

"Don't you dare curse our daughter," he growled, his amber eyes flashing with fury.

My heart shattered into a thousand pieces. Even now, faced with the emptiness of Lily's room, he refused to

accept the truth.

"Look," I said, gesturing weakly toward Lily's Memorial Portrait on the nightstand. "Look at her eyes, Ethan

The portrait captured our daughter's sweet face, her innocent smile forever frozen in time. But it was her eyes that spoke volumes gazing directly at where her father should have been.

"Her last wish was for you to be there," I continued, tears streaming down my face. "She wanted her daddy at

her side for her final journey."

Ethan's gaze flickered to the portrait, then quickly away. Something passed across his face – pain, perhaps, or the briefest moment of recognition - before hardening into cold denial.

"Stop manipulating me," he snarled. "This is just another one of your pathetic attempts to get my attention."

I stared at him in disbelief. How could he twist my grief into something so selfish?

His nostrils flared. "You're lying."

"The funeral home has her body," I pressed on, desperate to break through his denial. "They're waiting for your signature to proceed with the burial arrangements."

"Enough!" he roared, his Alpha voice reverberating through the small room.

I flinched but stood my ground. "She was your daughter too," I whispered. "Don't let her memory fade without

honoring her properly"

Something dangerous flashed in his eyes. His control snapped.

"I said ENOUGH!" Ethan bellowed, shoving me away with such force that I stumbled backward.
