In the end, the image froze on the girl’s tragic death. She died with her eyes wide open, her face pale, every feature screaming with hatred and regret. And then, Hailey saw the face.

Hailey’s breath caught as realization struck her. She thought, “That… is me!‘

She braced herself against the wall, breathing heavily, her body slowly collapsing.

The memories kept flooding in, more vivid now–memories not just of herself, but of Selena and a man. The two of them grinned smugly in front of her, while she stood there, helpless and broken.

Selena and Rose were now too absorbed in the sight of the safes to notice much else. They had never imagined that beneath this villa lay such a treasure trove of gold and silver.

The Dalton family was one of the four great families, and although Rose had enjoyed a life of material comfort ever since marrying into it, seeing so many safes filled with wealth was a first. The sight of it made Selena and Rose’s eyes widen.

“What’s wrong with her?” Rose asked in a hushed tone as she approached.
