together

The events were laid out plainly, each piece fitting toge her too well to be mere coincidence.

Even Josh, who had always shielded Anna, couldn't suppress his doubts any longer. His voice, heavy with both sorrow and anger, demanded an explanation.

Carter and I exchanged a knowing glance. The truth wouldn't be handed over so easily. If it were. Silas wouldn't have gone to such extreme lengths to keep it bidden.

And if Anna felt cornered, she might follow his lead-choosing silence over betrayal, no matter the cost.

"Dad," Anma began, her voice faltering. She looked fragile, but her words came out calculated. "Silas helped me once. He saved my life. He's been hiding his face because of fils scars. Regarding the status as the Bolton heir... I have only recently come to that realization myself."

Luke's expression darkened. His hands shot out, grabbing her by the collar, his anger overflowing. "Anna, if you've been involved with him all along, why did you act like you loved me?

"Why did you come between me and Chloe? If not for you, I wouldn't have walked out on her at wedding. She wouldn't have died out there, in the snowstorm!"

"Luke, can't you see how much I've cared about you? All these years, haven't I shown you?

Anna's tears streamed down her face as she tried to defend herself. Her voice was full of emotion, but it failed to convince. "My feelings for Silas are nothing like that. I only felt gratitude toward him-nothing more."

She still relied on her words, trying to spin a web that had once worked so well. However, the situation had changed, and now no one was paying attention. Luke's fury boiled over.

"Gratitude? The timing of your pregnancy doesn't lie, Anna. It lines up perfectly with the first night we were together. You were so desperate to avoid having my child that you went straight to him, didn't you?" Luke wasn't wrong. I could vouch for the timing of their relationship. Yet, the child she carried wasn't his. It was Silas's.

There was only one explanation. As soon as Anna and Luke had separated, she had gone to Silas.

Her pregnancy wasn't a coincidence. It had been deliberate-part of a plan. But it was never about having Luke's child. Her goal had always been Silas's

Looking around, it was painfully clear that the unluckiest person in the room was Luke.

He had sacrificed so much for Anna, including ruining my wedding. And what did he have now?

Anna didn't love him. The baby wasn't his. He had lost me and was now forced to watch me and his uncle build a life he couldn't touch..

His entire existence was marked by a series of tragic events. He had a father who later rovealed himself as his uncle. The identity of his biological father remained a mystery. Then, a body ravaged by illness. Luke carried more burdens than anyone should have to bear. I used to think life wasn't fair. But now I see
