"We did a thorough investigation. The results show... your wife died three years ago, sir.
She suffered severe injuries, but for some reason her death was deliberately covered up. It took us forever to find any trace of what happened."
Dante's legs instantly gave out and he crashed to the floor.
On the other side, Mom had already passed out from the pain, completely unresponsive.
"She... she wasn't lying? Celeste is really dead?"
"How is that possible?! I left her the house after I went overseas, left her two million dollars. That was enough to live comfortably! How...how did she end up like this?!"
When Sophia heard the news, her face went weird. She grabbed Dante's hand, stammering:
"I just remembered something. Back then, to stop Tyler's surgery, Celeste went to some gang members. She even threatened me, said once she got in good with the gang boss, I'd be her first target."
"I was terrified for days but didn't dare tell you. I was afraid it would drag you into trouble. But I never thought it would end up like this."
"She must have messed with the wrong people and got herself killed. It's just so sad... so sad for my Tyler."
She collapsed sobbing. Dante rubbed his temples helplessly.
"Stupid bitch didn't know her place. Wouldn't listen to me and got herself killed. Why was she so fucking dumb?!"
I couldn't even cry anymore. My rage was about to explode.
It was Sophia who had me kidnapped back then!
But now she's twisting the whole story, saying I went looking for gang help myself!
That's not what happened! That's NOT what happened!
After Dante left the country, those thugs came after me, saying someone paid them to "take care of me."
My already broken body suffered unspeakable torture. When I was barely breathing, I finally saw who was really behind it all.
Sophia's mother.
She took photos of me being assaulted, watched me get tortured, laughing like a maniac.
"You always called me a homewrecker, said I was shameless, right?"
"Now look who's getting fucked by all these men. Who's shameless now? You enjoying this?"
I didn't even have the strength to fight back. After they tortured me to death, they pinned it on some old homeless guy.
But now Sophia's sobbing to Dante:
"I don't want to judge my sister. Her life choices weren't my business. But I heard that after she left you, she immediately found someone new. She was even selling her body for money and power..."
"I thought since she was so... willing to do anything, she'd be doing well. I never imagined it would end up like this."
Dante looked absolutely disgusted.
"That stupid bitch got what she deserved."
But the second he finished talking, Mom suddenly snapped back to consciousness.
She screamed out in fury:
"Even after my Celeste is dead, you won't leave her alone!
It was you and your fucking mother! YOU who sent those thugs to kill her, and she died with her eyes even wide open!"
"She sent me a recording back then. I was about to go to the police when your bodyguards dragged me to that nursing home.
You said you were 'taking care of me,' but you were just keeping me prisoner to use as leverage!"
"You thought you could threaten Celeste with me? What a fucking joke! She was already dead!
I saw the photos of what they did to her—it wasn't some power play!
She tried to save Emma and YOU broke her arms! She tried to give Emma a proper burial and YOU tortured her to death!"
"Dante Sterling, if you've got any balls, go restore the data on Celeste's phone! See how she begged you!
All those unsent messages were her dying words. YOU killed Celeste! YOU!"
Sophia suddenly looked panicked and tried to fight back:
"How could I hurt my sister? I was overseas the whole time, right by Dante's side! You're just jealous that I'm happy, so you're trying to frame me!"
Mom shrieked like a woman possessed:
"Yeah, you were overseas, but your fucking mother was still here!"
"She tortured my Celeste to death, then came to the nursing home to gloat about it. Bragging about how her daughter hit the jackpot while MINE died in agony! Even my granddaughter died to save HER grandson."
"Oh yeah, she won completely. Stole my home, my husband, destroyed my daughter. You and your mother destroyed everything we had."
"But karma's a bitch, and I can't wait to see who's gonna save your precious little boy now!"
She suffered severe injuries, but for some reason her death was deliberately covered up. It took us forever to find any trace of what happened."
