olicy said, “I don’t know, I only asked Harlan to take her back to Windermount, How he got hurt, or how she fell off the cliff, I have no idea.”

Natasha looked at him, her tear–filled eyes slowly hardening into an icy glare. She straightened her back and said coldly. “Tell me everything. Why did you send her back to Windermount? What reckless things has she done? Everything. I want to hear it all.”

Garrett stepped forward, but Natasha raised her hand to stop him. There was a sharp, deadly glint in her eyes as she commanded, “You will tell me everything. All of it.”

Geoffrey’s face reddened in anger. “After returning to the estate, she behaved relatively well for two years. Then, by chance, she saved Pablo. After that, Pablo came to propose, arranging a marriage with William, the heir of the Valen family. That’s when she started to change. Because William already had a favored consort. she demanded that he marry her as a secondary wife. She became furious and killed Mary, the woman who had originally helped her. I didn’t blame her for that–Mary was terribly arrogant. But, a woman in the inner chambers–how could she kill someone so easily? And then, she grew even more violent, trying to steal her late mother’s dowry from her stepmother. Things got worse at Montlins Manor–Eleanor had a miscarriage, and Michelle was disfigured and cast out. I don’t blame her entirely for that; after all, one hand can’t make a sound. But if it wasn’t for her scheming, I would never believe it.”

At this point, Geoffrey paused, stunned. He had difficulty continuing, the weight of his own words now sinking in. How much of it could truly be blamed on her?

Natasha’s voice was low but firm. “Keep going.

Geoffrey’s lips trembled, “She doesn’t respect her stepmother, and she’s been disrespectful to her grandmother. And she-”

“She killed her mother, didn’t she?” Natasha interrupted, stepping closer, her eyes flashing with rage. Without warning, she slapped him hard across the face. The sound rang through the room, her voice trembling with nearly exhausted fury, “Isn’t that true?”

Geoffrey recoiled, clutching his cheek, staring at her with wide eyes. He had never seen Natasha like this- her face was twisted with an anger he never thought she could have. She had always been so gentle, so composed.

The word “curse” lodged painfully in his throat, but he couldn’t bring himself to say it.

“Garrett,” Natasha said coldly, turning to him. “Since there’s so much to uncover, and it’s all tied to Pablo, it shouldn’t be hard to find out who harmed Snowy. Investigate immediately. I want her to be completely erased from this world.”

words were said with chilling detachment, but in her eyes burned a furious, all–consuming rage.
