CHAPTER 583
Lisa looked at her brother, a frown deepening on her face. Her brows twitched with disgust before her features settled into a cold sneer."And I’m giving you your freedom," Lisa countered. "Sign it. Now. In front of the lawyer."Desperate to end the nightmare, the brothers scribbled their digital signatures onto the new occupancy agreement. Once the lawyer confirmed the document was filed, Lisa finally pulled up the recording. With a few calculated taps, she hit delete and turned the screen to show them the empty folder."Now," Lisa said, her voice turning sharp as she pointed toward the hallway. "Get out. All of you. This is my room now.""But Amara is hurt—" Ethan started."OUT!" Lisa roared.She shoved them toward the threshold. As the brothers stumbled into the hall, Lisa slammed the heavy door shut. Click! In the hallway, the silence was broken by a soft gasp. Amara’s eyes rolled back into her head, and she slumped toward the floor in a dramatic, graceful faint.Ethan and Dani
CHAPTER 582
The room fell silent.No one spoke. No one moved.Lisa arched a brow and tilted her head, waiting for a response, but none came at first.Then Matthew broke.“No!” he cried, stepping between Lisa and the bed. “We can’t do that. Amara is a Valerius. If she goes to prison for attempted murder, our reputation is finished. The family name will be dragged through the mud. Everything we’ve worked for, the business, the legacy, it’ll all vanish in a day.”Lisa let out a jagged, disbelieving laugh.“Reputation?” she snapped. “You’re sitting here defending a murderer because you’re worried about your social standing? Does my friend’s life mean nothing to you? Does my life mean nothing?”“We’re not saying it doesn’t matter,” Ethan said sharply, though he still couldn’t meet her eyes. “We’re saying there has to be another way. Anything but the police, Lisa. Do you want money? The estate? We can set up a trust. We can give you whatever you need to disappear, or to live comfortably.”Amara, watchi
CHAPTER 581
The brothers froze. They looked at Amara, then at the locked door, then back at Lisa.“She’s lying!” Amara screamed, her voice cracking. “I never said that! She’s making up conversations now! She’s trying to gaslight all of you!”Lisa stepped forward, planting her foot squarely on one of the printed photos, right over Amara’s snarling face.“The thing about digital photos, Amara,” Lisa said calmly, “is that they come with metadata. Time. Date. Location. And I have the original video file saved on a cloud server, one your hands can’t reach.”She turned to Ethan, who was staring at Amara as if she were a stranger.“Are you really going to believe her over your own eyes?” Lisa asked quietly. “Look at her face in that photo, Ethan. Does that look like a girl who loves her sister?”Ethan’s hand dropped from Amara’s shoulder as if burned. He looked down at her, his voice trembling with a mixture of desperate hope and dawning horror.“Amara… just tell us the truth. Did you… did you really do
CHAPTER 580
Amara locked eyes with Lisa, expecting to read her the way she always had before, but all she saw was a smile, utterly devoid of fear.That look was confident. Too confident.‘She’s bluffing. She has to be,’ Amara thought, tearing her gaze away as she clung to her conclusion. There were no cameras on that stretch of road. The car was clean now.“Lisa, why are you doing this?” Amara sobbed, burying her face deeper into Ethan’s chest. “Are you still mad about our fight? Is that why you’re making up these lies?”She looked up at her brothers, eyes wide and glassy with tears.“She’s been like this for days. When I went to visit her in the hospital, she threatened me then, too! She tried to frame me for things I never did… I don’t know why she hates me so much. I’ve only ever tried to love her!”The brothers’ expressions softened instantly. They hadn’t seen what happened in the hospital; they only had Amara’s word, and her word had always been their truth. They had doubted her once bef
CHAPTER 579
Lisa turned toward the door, a frown creasing her face. She wasn’t finished with Amara yet, and now they were trying to break the door down.A flicker of annoyance crossed her expression. She wasn’t satisfied. The fear in Amara’s eyes was delicious, but the redecoration of the room was only half-finished.“They always have to ruin the fun, don’t they?” Lisa murmured, ignoring Amara’s desperate whimpering at the base of the door.The door groaned again under the weight of Ethan’s shoulder.Lisa knew they had only seconds before it gave way. She had two choices: either keep the door locked and let them see the monster they already believed her to be, or control the narrative one last time.Her gaze swept over the blood-smeared headboard, the rain-soaked clothes strewn outside the window, and finally the bruised, trembling mess that was Amara.“You want them to save you?” Lisa asked softly, walking toward the door. She grabbed Amara by the hair and dragged her back a few feet so she wo
CHAPTER 578
Without waiting for a response, Lisa marched toward the walk-in closet.She ripped the doors open and began grabbing armfuls of designer gowns, silk scarves, and custom-made shoes. Storming to the large window, she unlatched the heavy frame and shoved it open. The roar of torrential rain flooded the room.“Since you like the rain so much that you’d leave people to die in it, your things can join them!” Lisa shouted.She began hurling everything out, clothes, jewelry boxes, porcelain dolls Amara had collected for years. One by one, they plummeted into the mud below, swallowed by the dark, soaking abyss.Amara let out a strangled cry and scrambled off the bed.“No! My dresses! Stop it, Lisa!”She lunged for Lisa’s arm. Lisa didn’t even turn around. She backhanded Amara across the face, sending her sprawling onto the floor.“Stay down!” Lisa barked, grabbing a heavy jewelry chest and flinging it through the window. “Or do you want to follow your clothes onto the pavement?”Amara lay o
