Chapter 131: Behind bars
Inside one of the coldest cells at Fort-tight, Frank lay stretched across the narrow metal cot in his cell, staring at the ceiling with tired, hollow eyes.For the longest time, since the day he arrived here, he had learned to understand that no one truly cares, ad everyone would do anything to protect that which was precious to them. He had learned to live with the chains around his heart long before he learned to live with the ones around his wrists.And he had survived all these years with only one burning thought keeping him alive:One day… I will make the Robbins pay.He didn’t know how nor did he know when. But he knew that someday and somehow, he would. And when that day comes, he’ll make sure to make it happen in such a way that the Robbins’ would have wished that he was the one who had died in that plane crash instead of Richard.And that was because every time he thought of the life they had stolen from him, the happiness of a family that they deprived him of enjoying, it o
Chapter 132: When sides are switched
Rose was sitting on the other side of the thick glass, her back straight, fingers clasped tightly in her lap. But even from afar, Frank could see the tension in her shoulders, the guilt in her eyes, the weight of a thousand unsaid things pressing against her heart.And with that, he stopped walking as every instinct in his body screamed to turn around and walk away. Roseline Robbins was the last person he ever expected to see again… and the very last person he wanted to see in this lifetime.And that was because when he needed someone to at least stand to defend him when everything fell apart, Rose chose her family’s side instead. He had expected that she’d say something, but she proved to be a Robbins at the end of the day choosing to protect her family and let the son of someone else rot in jail.The warden, noticing that Frank had stopped moving, cleared his throat impatiently as he ordered Frank to move.But Frank didn’t move, as his feet felt rooted to the floor.Roseline’s eyes
Chapter 133: The private investigator
Emma stared down at the open files on her desk as she sat at her office desk that fateful morning, but the words felt like wet paint sliding off glass. No matter how hard she tried to focus, her mind kept dragging her back to the same sharp loop:Her father, her mother Uncle Frank, and Aunt Margaret.All the lies, the cover-ups, and a twenty-three-year-old ghost of a crime they all pretended didn’t exist.Before now, her family name used to feel like a crown. But now it felt like a weight hanging from her spine, pulling her down inch by inch.She may not have met her father, but she never expected to uncover something like this about him—except maybe the stories were not true and that there was a very important aspect of it that was missing.After all, Grandfather Robbins had been the most respected man she knew, and that was not because he was her grandfather, but because he embodied it. And so, hearing that he was part of a mess that sent his uncle to prison felt like a lie and she
Chapter 134: When The Truth is Revealed!
Lorraine’s breathing stuttered as Hayes’ words hit her, and as her mind travelled back to the men who had come to take her away as a little girl, and had made her separate from her sister, Dorin. “Did you know what happened to my parents? All those years ago?” She rasped, forgetting the pains on her wrists and now focused on knowing the truth.Hayes didn’t turn fully to face her. He only angled his head, watching her from the corner of his eye. His smirk stretched, slow and delighted, as though she had finally wandered into the exact trap he’d laid two decades ago.“Ah. That question.” His voice warmed with something sickly sweet. “I wondered how long it would take before you asked.”“Answer me.” Lorraine barked louder, as though if given a chance to break free, she could rip Hayes’ head from his body.Hayes stepped closer, boots whispering across the concrete. “You think I, a man with my… responsibilities, would simply stop my car one night, see a lonely, wandering street child blee
Chapter 135: A talk with Oliver Powers I
The rest of the day was a blur of activities for Emma and the rest of the Robbins’ employees that before she knew it, it was evening. With everyone else almost gone from the office, Emma returned to the window where she stayed for a few more breaths, letting the city’s noise settle her nerves the way the rumble of waves settles shifting sand. The skyline outside slipped slowly toward dusk, dipping the streets in that honey-orange glaze of early evening, but somewhere in the depths of her thoughts, she still tried to understand what could have happened twenty-three years ago in the Robbins’ family that no one was ready to talk about.And when there was no way ahead to give her the answers which she sought, as all hopes was now on Mr. Blackwood who had promised to give her feedback in twenty-four hours, Emma knew it was time to go home.Although, with the never-ending chaos that was seemed to sweep everyone in the Robbins’ mansion, making her almost never wanting to go home, Emma still
Chapter 136: A talk with Oliver Powers II
The ride didn’t take long, but the silence inside Oliver’s car didn’t go unnoticeable as Emma watched the city smear past the windows in streaks of gold and neon, her hands folded over her stomach, her thoughts spinning around the words plane crash as if they had gravity.For a brief moment, all she could ponder over was how Oliver got to know that she was even seeking answers regarding the plane crash that killed her father owing to the fact that she just thought of it yesterday and just started making a move about it today.Could it be that Mr. Blackwood wasn’t who he claimed to be? Could it be that he had sold her secret information to Mr. Powers, and that was why he suddenly showed up making claims to have known about what happened to her father.“No, it couldn’t be,” She shove the thoughts aside.As for Oliver, he didn’t say a thing throughout the journey. He simply drove with that calm, ego-less precision that made him feel almost like an entirely different person wearing his ow
Chapter 137: The arrival of the wedding gown
Emma blinked hard, as if the words might change if she stared long enough. But they didn’t. The whole case involving his father and uncle Frank was taking a different twist already and it was like the whole thing had just begun to look even more interesting.She swallowed, forcing her trembling fingers to fold the paper shut. Her heart hammered in her chest as she looked up at Oliver, who was still watching her like a man who knew the exact effect of every word and gesture.“Where did you even get this?” she asked quietly.Oliver didn’t flinch. “Some archives are not meant for the public eye,” he said. “Let’s just say… this one found its way to me.”Emma rose slowly from her seat. “If you’re trying to unsettle me, Mr. Powers, you’ve succeeded. But I suggest you stay out of my family’s history.”“Be careful what you call your family’s history, Miss Robbins,” he replied coolly, leaning back in his chair. “Sometimes, even bloodlines are rewritten.”She didn’t respond. Her silence was the
Chapter 138: Blue Mirage Club I
Leif sat alone at the far end of the Blue Mirage Club, a half-empty glass of whiskey before him. The light from the overhead chandelier reflected in the amber drink, casting small flickers across his face. His shirt sleeves were rolled halfway, his tie loosened, and his gaze lost somewhere in the swirling crowd.He wasn’t here for the music or the women or the noise. He was here to think or perhaps, not to think as everything happening in his family lately had begun to choke him. Every conversation in the Robbins mansion seemed to carry hidden meanings. Every smile felt forced, and he just didn’t know if it was what he could stand any longer.He’d grown up believing the Robbins name meant legacy, honor, and class. But lately, it just felt like a maze of secrets that stretched back to before he was even born. And to make matters worse, his own mother was also being dragged in the whole matter.Just like Emma and Chloe, Leif had also grown up without his own father who according to his
Chapter 139: Blue Mirage Club II
The man stepped further into the light, and in that single moment, Tracy’s breath caught in her throat. Her glass froze midway to her lips, her expression twisting between disbelief and shock.“Wait—” she whispered, blinking rapidly. “Isn’t that… Ethan?”Her voice was trembling, laced with confusion and something else — fear, maybe. Leif was already turning around to see who had just walked in, but before his eyes could properly focus, Tracy was already speaking again, louder this time.“What the hell is he doing here?” she demanded, staring wide-eyed. “Ethan! That is Ethan, right?”For a brief moment, Tracy thought he had come to look for just another lady to have a one night stand with like it happened with Emma, and could only imagine what kind of man Emma was actually getting married to.As far as Tracy was concerned, Emma deserved someone better and as long as she wasn’t ready to see that for herself, she wasn’t ready to go back to being friends with her either.The noise of the
Chapter 140: Ethan’s look-alike
“Come on, Emma,” Leif murmured under his breath as the phone continued to ring.It was not in his place to get worried because of anything that has to do with Emma or Ethan, but even with that, he couldn’t deny the fact that Emma was still his cousin, and whatever happens to her will one way or the other affect the entire Robbins’ family.Moreover, Emma had always been kind to him ever since they were kids, and despite the long standing bitterness between his mother and Emma’s mother, she had never seen him as a cousin and always considered him as her brother.Finally, the call connected, and Emma answered from her own end.“Leif?” Emma’s voice came through, faint but clear, but at the same time laced with surprise. “Where have you been all evening? You’ve never stayed out so late before. Hope everything’s alright?”Leif exchanged a quick glance with Tracy before replying carefully, “I got sidetracked by something and I didn’t see it coming. But that’s not why I called anyways.”“Real
