Elysia received the documents and casually flipped through them, a slight smile gracing her lips. “Ryan, the truth lies within my hands; would you like to see it?”

“What truth?”

Ryan turned his head away. “Don’t play games with me; I know the truth well enough without your assistance.

“Is it that you have no desire to know then?” Elysia’s eyes sparkled with challenge, her tone teasing, “I suppose it makes sense -after all these years harboring hatred, discovering you have despised the wrong person could be a bitter pill to swallow.”

She said, “But your parents would surely be unable to find solace knowing you have carried this misguided vendetta for so long.”

Mentioning his parents caused Ryan to finally look at Elysia, though he remained silent. Elysia said, “With that gaze, you’ve left me uncertain–do you seek the truth or wish to remain ignorant?”

Ryan still held his tongue, prompting Elysia to let out a light laugh. “Very well, in light of sparing my life, I will reveal the truth to you, lest you live the rest of your days confused and misled.”

She paused momentarily before continuing, “The person who sent the killers after your parents was not my dad; rather, it was the one who incited your dad to steal the paper.”
