Olives joy was a wonderful sight as she rushed to embrace her mother. The
room seemed to light up with her happiness, their reunion a bittersweet moment
amid the heavy atmosphere. Scarlett returned her daughter's hug, her eyes filled
with a mix of relief and longing.
“I missed you so much,” Olive said, her voice shaking.
Scarlett’s “s gaze lingered on Olive, her heartache apparent. “I missed you too,
sweetpea. I'm so sorry I missed your birthday.”
Olive shook her head. “Evie helped me celebrate. They even recorded it, so you
can look back and see everything that happened!”
“Oh, that's wonderful!” Scarlett said breathlessly.
As they held each other, Scarlett’s eyes found mine. “Evie, thank you for taking
care of her.”
I offered a soft smile, though my anxiety about the situation remained. “Of
course, Scarlett. Olive was an amazing guest.”
As the mother and daughter shared a tender moment, my attention shifted to
Stella, who had remained on the outskirts of the room. She watched the reunion
with a mixture of longing and resentment.
Stella finally stepped forward, her voice tinged with an attempt at warmth.
“Scarlett, you're feeling better?”
Scarlett’s warm demeanor seemed to snap just then, replaced by something cold
and stiff. “What the hell are you doing here?”

Stella didn’t budge. “I'm your sister. I have a right to be here.”
Scarlett’s expression shifted, doubt and suspicion creeping in. “Sister? I could
hardly call you that at this point.”

Stella's gaze fell, and her shoulders slumped. “I walked out, yes, but I'm here
now. Everyone...copes differently.” The room grew heavy with unspoken tension.
Scarlett’s voice was edged with frustration. “Stella, why are you really here? Is it
about the estate again? Did you have a hand in what happened to me?”
Stella's eyes widened, hurt and surprise etched on her face. “Scarlett, how can
you even think that? I would never do something like that, no matter how much
we've fought.”
Scarlett’s voice was harsh, her doubts unrestrained. “You've always resented me,
Stella. You wanted the estate, and you were willing to do whatever it took.
Stella's face contorted in anger, and she shot back, “I may have resented you,
but I would never have you shot! You're my sister.”
The atmosphere in the room grew thick with tension as Scarlett’s revelation hung
in the air like a heavy shroud. I looked at her, stunned by her accusations, and
she returned my gaze with a mixture of anger and frustration.
“That can’t be true, Scarlett,” I finally managed to say, my voice shaking. “I have
no idea who would want to do this to you, but I think Stella’s telling the truth.”
Scarlett’s frustration was evident as she snapped back, “You expect me to
believe that, Evie? After all we've been through, you can't just brush this off.

I took a deep breath, my thoughts racing to make sense of the situation.
“Scarlett, it's possible that someone from my past is trying to destroy me. There
have been times when I felt like I was being watched, but I never connected it to
you.”
Scarlett’s eyes bore into mine, her anger simmering just below the surface. “This
feels personal, Evic. It's more likely that Stella is involved.”
Stella had remained silent during our exchange, her eyes darting between
Scarlett and me, her expression carefully composed. Now she stepped forward,
her voice firm. “Scarlett, how could you accuse me of something like this?”
Scarlett shot back, her anger unrelenting. “Stella, we have proof of your affair
with Timothy's brother, Andy. You would be vengeful enough to do this.”
Stella's lips curved into a mocking smile, her tone condescending. And who
would believe that proof? Especially when it's coming from a nobody like you,
Scarlett. And Evie? You're already considered “used goods’ in the public eye,
which is scandalous enough.”
Scarlett’s frustration was palpable as she glared at her sister. “You think you can
just dismiss everything, Stella? We know the truth, and we have evidence.”
Stella laughed, a bitter sound filled with contempt. Evidence, Scarlett? I'd love to
see what you've got. I highly doubt it’s as incriminating as you claim.” Scarlett's
anger flared, and she shot back, “Don’t underestimate us, Stella. We have the
means to expose your secrets,”
Stella waved her hand dismissively, her confidence unwavering. I call your bluff,
Scarlett. If you had the guts to reveal the so-called proof, you would have done it
already”

I couldn't stand by any longer, the truth burning inside me. “I did have the nerve
to send Timothy the photos.”
Stella's gaze turned to me in fury. “You? So it was you that told Timothy?”

I took a deep breath, my voice resolute. “Stella, I sent those photos to Timothy
because he deserves to know the truth. He deserves better than to be with
someone who's been unfaithful.”
Stella's fury was unleashed, and she stepped forward, her voice sharp. “You
self-righteous bitch! You had no right to interfere in my relationship!” Scarlett’s
voice was filled with anger as well. “Stella, we can’t continue living a lie. It's time
to confront the truth.”
The room was filled with simmering emotions, the weight of the revelations and
accusations hanging heavily in the air. Stella's relationship with
Timothy had been exposed, and the consequences of her infidelity were
unraveling before us.
Stella finally spoke, her voice a mix of fury and despair. “You've destroyed
everything. Evie. I loved him, and now he'll never forgive me.”
I felt a pang of guilt, but I couldn’t deny that the truth needed to come to light.
“Stella, if your relationship with Timothy was built on lies, it was bound to crumble
eventually. It's better that he knows the truth now.”
Stella's anger flared once more, her voice filled with venom. “I hope you're happy,
Evie. You've ruined everything”
Scarlett’s voice was firm, her gaze unwavering. “Stella, this was your own doing.
You can't blame Evie for exposing the truth. You also can't blame me
for trusting her with my daughter!”

Stella growled. “Scarlett, that is ridiculous. I'm her aunt. I have every right to take
Olive home with me.”
Scarlet's gaze remained unwavering, her tone firm. “I wouldn't trust you with my
child, Stella, not after everything that's happened.
Stella's face contorted in anger, her voice sharp. “You can't keep her from me,
Scarlett. She's my family too.”

I watched silently, hardly realizing that my fingers were starting to lose feeling
from Olive clenching them so tightly. This was probably one of the last things she
needed to witness.
Stella turned to Olive, her voice soft but tinged with anger. “Olive, don't you want
to come home with me? I'm your family.”
Olive looked torn, her eyes switching between Stella and me. She glanced at
Scarlett, her eyes filled with uncertainty. “But I like Evie.”
Scarlett smiled in response. “I know, sweety, and I want you to stay with Evie for
a little longer until I feel all better, okay?”
Stella's patience wore thin, and she snapped, “You're making a big mistake,
Scarlett.”
Scarlett remained resolute. “I don’t trust you, Stella.”
Stella's anger reached a boiling point, and she stormed out of the room. I
watched her go, a sense of unease settling over me.
