Olive’s 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 Ste, who had
remained on the outskirts of the room. She watched the reunion with a mixture of longing and
resentment.
Ste 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, reced by something cold and stiff. “What
the hell are you doing here?”
Emergency calls only
Ste 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.”

Ste’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. “Ste, why are you really here? Is it about the estate again? Did you have a hand in
what happened to me?”
Ste’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, Ste. You
wanted the estate, and you were willing to do whatever it took.
Ste’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 revtion hung in the air like a
heavy shroud. I looked at her, stunned by her usations, 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 Ste’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.
Emergency calls only
Not for her.”

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 Ste is involved.”
Ste had remained silent during our exchange, her eyes darting between Scarlett and me, her
expression carefullyposed. Now she stepped forward, her voice firm. “Scarlett, how could you
use me of something like this?”
Scarlett shot back, her anger unrelenting. “Ste, we have proof of your affair with Timothy’s
brother, Andy. You would be vengeful enough to do this.”
Ste’s lips curved into a mocking smile, her tone condescending. And who would believe that
proof? Especially when it’sing 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 red at her sister. “You think you can just dismiss
everything, Ste? We know the truth, and we have evidence.”
Steughed, 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 im.” Scarlett’s anger red, and she shot back,
“Don’t underestimate us, Ste. We have the means to expose your secrets,”
Ste 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”
Emergency calls only
I couldn’t stand by any longer, the truth burning inside me. “I did have the nerve to send Timothy the
photos.”
Ste’s gaze turned to me in fury. “You? So it was you that told Timothy?”

I took a deep breath, my voice resolute. “Ste, 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.”
Ste’s fury was unleashed, and she stepped forward, her voice sharp. “You self–righteous bitch!
You had no right to interfere in my rtionship!” Scarlett’s voice was filled with anger as well.
“Ste, 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 revtions and usations
hanging heavily in the air. Ste’s rtionship with

Timothy had been exposed, and the consequences of her infidelity were unraveling before us.
Ste 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 toe to light. “Ste, if your
rtionship with Timothy was built on lies, it was bound to crumble eventually. It’s better that he
knows the truth now.”
Ste’s anger red 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. “Ste, this was your own doing. You can’t me
Evie for exposing the truth. You also can’t me me
for trusting her with my daughter!”
Emergency calls only
Ste 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, Ste, not
after everything that’s happened.
Ste’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 thest things she needed to witness.
Ste turned to Olive, her voice soft but tinged with anger. “Olive, don’t you want toe home with
me? I’m your family.”
Olive looked torn, her eyes switching between Ste and me. She nced 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?”
Ste’s patience wore thin, and she snapped, “You’re making a big mistake, Scarlett.”
Scarlett remained resolute. “I don’t trust you, Ste.”
Ste’s anger reached a boiling point, and she stormed out of the room. I watched her go, a sense
of unease settling over me.
I turned to Scarlett, my voice soft and careful. “Are you sure about this, Scarlett? I can look after
Olive for as long as you need, but I don’t want toe. between you and your sister.”

Scarlett’s eyes met mine, a mixture of exhaustion and gratitude in her gaze. “Evic, I would
appreciate it if you kept Olive for just a little longer. I trust you to take care of her.”
I nodded. “Of course, Scarlett.”
The room fell into a heavy silence, only the sound of the heart monitor filling the void. Scarlett’s
eyes began to flutter, and I could see a fresh supply of medicine making its way from the IV and into
her system.
“Thank you,” she said, her voice trembling as she fought sleep.
I bit my lip, watching as her face began to rx and her eyes sealed shut. I gave Olive’s hand
another reassuring squeeze.
I would do the best I could for her.
