Short filmTranscript
00:07the wolf spirit within me was slowly dying that beautiful white wolf was my soul gentle noble
00:15with pho as pure as moonlight but now she curled deep in my consciousness every breath agony her
00:23faint breath heavy with despair i was slowly dying from silverstone wolf's vein and there was only
00:28one cure the miracle elixir but my mate leo ashford bought it and gave it to my adoptive sister
00:35jane smith he did it because he thought i was faking my illness
00:43i gave up on the treatment and swallowed a potent painkiller instead it would kill me in three days
00:48by shutting down my organ in those three days i gave up everything i handed over the firm manufacturing
00:54business i built from the ground up to jane and my parents praised me for caring about my sister
00:59i offered to sever our mate bond and leo praised me for finally being sensible when i told my son
01:05he could call jane mommy he happily said that his new mommy was the best
01:14i transferred all my savings to jane and no one seemed to notice anything out of the ordinary
01:20they were just pleased with my better behavior biola is finally not so bad
01:25i wondered would they regret it after i was gone
01:35the doctor looked at me with pity as i swallowed a heavy dose of painkillers
01:39three days left to live that was what they had told me
01:43i took the elevator up to the vip floor my dad charlie smith was slicing fruit for jane
01:50meanwhile my mom windy carter was curled up beside her watching a movie the moment i opened the door
01:56the happy chatter stopped didn't you say you were on your deathbed this morning
02:00what now no one believed your lies so you came whited to pick on jane again viola from this moment
02:05on
02:05your father and i aren't leaving jane's side you won't get another chance to hurt her mom said
02:10coldly stepping in front of the bed to block me we're the smith family nobles of moonfall pack
02:17we have standards and we're respected but you you've always been hot-tempered and jealous
02:23you even faked being sick just to steal the miracle elixir meant for jane
02:27dad stood beside mom just as defensive like a hen guarding their chick
02:32and behind them jane peeked out and stuck her tongue out at me
02:36that smile smug contemptuous provocative i had seen it too many times
02:45every time i tried to expose her true colors
02:51she would wear that same smirk because she knew no one would ever believe me
02:58you're serious is this some kind of trick i smiled bitterly i had heard this before
03:06every time i would shout back i would tell them i never touched jane and try to prove how fake
03:13she
03:13really was but all i got in return was my parents distrust and disgust more distance less love and now
03:23i was dying there was no point in explaining anything anymore
03:32anyway it's good that you're here saves me the trouble of calling you i have something to say
03:37dad said with a cold expression i actually something to say too
03:41i said trying to keep my tone light jane's always wanted my fur business right
03:46well i've been thinking since we're family i'll give it to her the cold expression on my parents
03:52faces cracked momentarily they exchanged glances then looked at me you're serious
03:58is this some kind of trick are you asking for something in return
04:12they couldn't believe it their first reaction was to think i was playing a trick on them
04:18and i couldn't blame them jane had been eyeing the fur company i had built from scratch for years
04:23my parents had tried everything to convince me to hand it over
04:28every talk ended in a fight and every fight chipped away at whatever family love we had left
04:34but now but what about now how pathetic since that's what you want i'll give you exactly that
04:42i'll make sure you finally see her true colors you should have done this a long time ago and now
04:47i'm
04:47ready to dad said softly his voice relaxed and his eyes finally looked kind mom stepped forward and
04:55gently held my hand you've grown up you're finally acting sensible she smiled warmly i know you
05:02created the company but jane's been top of her class in finance and business at university if anyone
05:08can take your company and turn it into the top fur brand in the country it's her i nodded quietly
05:13and
05:14handed the signed transfer papers to jane my fingers brushed against hers for just a moment
05:19her skin was warm so full of life unlike mine which had already begun to feel cold
05:26she took the papers from me with both hands pretending to be hesitant are you sure viola
05:32i don't want you to feel forced but her fingers had already closed around the documents
05:39tight possessive like she was afraid i might snatch them back
05:50i wasn't going to i'm sure i said quietly as i stared at my signature on the bottom of the
05:57paper
05:57i caught sight of jane's expression jane looked surprised at first but when no one else was
06:02watching she shot me a smug victorious smile in this competition for family affection i had lost
06:10here drink some water you must be thirsty mom offered me a glass of water and gently brushed
06:18my hair back her smile soft and sweet i nearly cried why was it only when i gave something to
06:26jane
06:26that mom treated me like her daughter when i returned home from the hospital my son and mate
06:32were having dinner at the table this cream of mushroom soup is amazing dad mark said with a grin
06:38your aunt jane loves it too we'll bring her some after dinner they were laughing and chatting
06:43looking like the perfect little family i stood in the doorway for a moment longer than i should have
06:48watching them memorizing them none of them had noticed me yet for a brief second i felt like a
06:53ghost in my own home but the second they saw me walk in everything changed
07:01viola
07:04why are you home leo ashford sat down his spoon staring at me in confusion the spread of food on
07:11the table seemed to hurt my eyes mark's gaze was distant as if he were looking at a stranger
07:17that was when i realized that leo knew how to cook and he was good at it too i never
07:22knew that
07:22i used to be the one who cooked the one who worked long hours to pay the bills the one
07:29who held the house
07:30together but leo always complained that my cooking was terrible even mark picked up on it he started
07:36acting like i wasn't good enough to be his mother i gave everything to this family my time my energy
07:42my whole life and in the end not one of them respected me back then if they gave me the
07:48cold
07:48shoulder like this i would have snapped i would have shouted why can't i come home why do you look
07:54at
07:54me like i don't belong here but not anymore i didn't answer i just started packing my things
08:00quietly when i didn't answer leo hesitated for a moment then walked over to me viola
08:17you agreed to it
08:22viola i wanted to talk to you about something his voice was softer this time almost guilty
08:29your sister just started her treatment and the miracle licks her affecting her emotions
08:34makes her feel down to keep her spirits up and to help with her recovery your parents suggested
08:38that she and i go through the marking ceremony they hope it'll make her feel better my heart sank
08:45and for a second i thought i had misheard you agreed to it leo looked uncomfortable at my response
08:56viola jane may not be your real sister but she's been part of this family since your parents adopted
09:00her you want her to get better don't you he paused like he was choosing his words carefully
09:06we're just going through the marking ceremony the witch says it'll help jane recover faster as it'll
09:10lift her mood it won't change anything between us i'm still your mate and mark's bad before i could
09:16respond mark spoke up mommy aunt jane's really upset the doctor said it's bad for her health so please
09:22agree with dad okay i stared at them both one was the man i had loved for years the other
09:28my son i had
09:30given everything to both of them every piece of me as a mate as a mother i had sacrificed it
09:36all
09:36why were they treating me like this why would they betray my love just for jane
09:46i stood there silently for a long time what did it matter now i was dying anyway jane wanted my
09:52things
09:53fine she could have them all i didn't want everything i had anymore i wiped away the tear
10:00that slipped down my cheek then looked up at leo okay fine leo's face lit up with surprise and
10:07excitement he quickly grabbed the papers from the table great this is the mate bond desolation
10:12agreement once you sign we'll formally reject our bond and be done with i felt like my heart was
10:17shattering so he had planned this all along leo really wanted to end things between us didn't he
10:23to be with jane mommy just sign it mark said handing me the pen i took it and quickly signed
10:28the paper
10:29once leo and i rejected each other the ridiculous conversation ended then i went upstairs to rest dot
10:35leo solemnly promised from behind me viola when jane's fully recovered later on i'll end things with
10:41her believe me my heart will always be yours this is just a formality i pursed my lips in my
10:47heart i
10:48already knew the truth we were over then i heard him sigh and add viola you've become more composed
10:53now not as reckless and unreasonable as before back when we used to argue i wasn't always reether i owe
10:58you an apology these jane to better i'll take care of you i want you upset you that one mommy
11:02i
11:03won me great for him you've been a so easing to jane i'm infallum you their words hit me like
11:08a wave
11:08of cold water their words contained gratitude and care and all of it started only after the bond was
11:23broken how ironic before i had hoped for something maybe even expected it but now as i headed upstairs
11:31i felt nothing but numbness it didn't matter anymore i was dying anyway i tried to hurry up
11:38the stairs but before i could reach the top everything went black i shivered gasping as i
11:43blanked up at the ceiling leo and mark were standing over me their faces tight with frustration
11:49they didn't seem worried just disappointed
11:56mommy are you pretending again mark asked his voice flat you've used this fanning trick so many
12:02times can you try something new daddy and i are supposed to deliver aunt jane her mushroom soup
12:07you've wasted our time and now the soup's cold mark was clearly angry leo looked disappointed and he
12:13was holding a glass of ice water in his hand vila stop it even though we've dissolved our mate bond
12:17i
12:17still love you don't try to test my feelings for you with tricks like pretending to faint i slowly came
12:22to
12:22my senses realizing what had just happened i had passed out but instead of rushing me to the
12:28hospital or getting me medical help they had drawn a glass of ice water in my face to wake me
12:34up it was
12:35laughable they will know i was really dying rather than pretending if they had just unblocked their link
12:42to me no one cared enough to check mommy you look fine you're all rosy and healthy you don't look
12:47sick
12:47at all next time try a new trick if you're going to pretend mark's words cut through me like a
12:53knife
12:54i forced myself to stand up
13:05the doctor's potent painkiller was working making me look healthier than i was but i knew deep down
13:13my body was already fading i'm not pretending i might have skipped a meal that's all if you want to
13:19go to the
13:20hospital i'll go with you the transagreant still needs a few signatures leo clearly wanted to say more
13:26but when he saw me pick up the agreement he simply nodded and followed me to the hospital
13:31so he already knew about the agreement viola you're here when we arrived at the hospital room jane was watching
13:39a movie her complexion undeniably worse than mine if anything she looked like the one who was
13:45seriously ill despite her warm greeting the challenge in her eyes that unmissable arrogance
13:51caught sharper than any blade viola thanks for handing the company over to me don't worry i'll
13:58make it even more successful with jane managing the company you won't have to work so hard you'll
14:04still get your share of profits and it'll be so much easier for you mom added grabbing my hand with
14:10a smile i forced a smile back yeah i agree that's why i'm gonna hand over all my assets to
14:15jane to
14:16manage that way i can relax everyone froze shocked they knew just how much that was worth
14:36vila are you serious even the trust fund in the bank leo's voice was a mix of shock and confusion
14:43i was puzzled jane had always wanted everything i had and the whole family was always there to support
14:50her when i refused i was called selfish rude and ungrateful now that i was finally giving it to her
14:56they were acting strange wasn't this what they had been pushing for all along after a long silence
15:00it was dad who finally spoke up viola you've really grown up you're being kind to your sister looking
15:06out for her now should have been like this from the start we're family what's yours is ours no need
15:11to draw a line so firmly everywhere it's good to see you two getting along your mother and i are
15:16relieved
15:17that added with a smile but were they really relieved did they honestly think jane was capable
15:23of managing all that wealth at home she food everyone with her fake kindness but out in the world
15:31no one would buy it i felt a tickle in my nose when i rubbed it my fingers came away
15:38smeared with blood
15:39why the nosebleed
16:01why the nosebleed the humidity in this room is perfectly fine
16:05mom murmured handing me a tissue i wiped the blood away casually then tested the waters
16:13mom
16:16dad if i died one day would you be sad there was a pause a heavy silence in the room
16:21dad looked at me with a serious expression his voice sharp
16:26viola don't play these tricks don't pretend to be sick just to get sympathy
16:32your wolf may not be the strongest but this is just a small problem that can be easily cured don't
16:36try pull stunts like in front home again he sighed rubbing his forehead the room which had been
16:42peaceful just moments ago suddenly felt heavy again with dad's words i smile bitterly what wolf my
16:49wolf had already died while fighting off the silverthorn wolf's bane that toxin laced with silver
16:55had seeped into my bloodstream and eventually corroded my organs and in the end it killed my wolf
17:02dad i know viola lied before acted out and pretended to be sick but that was the old her i
17:10believe she's
17:11better now jane said looking at me with a sharp taunting look she sounded like she was defending me
17:18but all i could hear was her reminding everyone of my past mistakes i think aunt jane needs more love
17:25and care
17:29all right just don't mess up again look at you look at you so full of life dad muttered then
17:34turned
17:34to jane with undisguised tenderness meanwhile jane's the one who really needs care his voice dropped heavy
17:40with concern this illness her healing factor is almost inexistent now i think aunt jane needs more
17:46love and care mark said leaning over the bed please get better soon aunt jane i felt a sharp
17:51pain in my chest and all the small hope i had left was crushed i wiped away the tears that
17:56had started
17:57to fall then looked at mark and said you said your aunt jane is the best right do you want
18:04her to be
18:04your mother i've decided from now on jane will be your mummy are you happy mark's eyes lit up really
18:13really jane can stay with you from now on she can pick you up from kindergarten and cook you better
18:19meals than i ever could how does that sound aren't you happy before i could say more mark
18:24cracked my hand and kissed the back of it i'm so happy mommy you're the best then without a second
18:32thought he rushed to jay's bedside and called out mommy the pain in my chest was unbearable
18:43in a daze i dialed the number
18:48it had been so long since my son had shown me any affection
18:51i couldn't even remember the last time he held my hand or kissed the back of my hand like that
18:57and
18:57the price for all of that was letting him call someone else mommy my parents and leo watched the
19:02scene with smiles on their faces pleased i pressed my hand to my mouth trying not to cry out loud
19:08and quietly stepped out of the hospital room i didn't know where to go i had one day left to
19:14live
19:14i thought about going for a walk by the beach but it was so far away and i didn't have
19:20the strength
19:20was i dying already but it wasn't time yet what should i do in a daze i dialed the number
19:28i could no longer see clearly before my eyes only feeling the world spin violently
19:33an anxious voice came from the other end of the phone viola viola
19:46the next thing i knew i woke up to the sound of a familiar voice selena hunt my best friend
19:53she had rushed all the way from horizon pex territory to see me we met in college back then she
20:01never
20:01liked leo she always thought he wasn't good enough for me and that he didn't deserve my love
20:07we fought about it back then and i didn't listen to her she didn't come to my marking ceremony
20:14i knew i shouldn't have called her but she was the only one i could trust now what have you
20:20done
20:20to yourself you're almost dead where is your mate you always told me how happy your family was
20:28but now look at you selena cried as she spoke her voice full of frustration i had an oxygen mask
20:34on my face and i smiled weakly at her she was still the same quick tempered loud and caring
20:41those who didn't know us would think we were arguing how did you get poisoned by silver thrown
20:47wolf's bank why didn't you tell me she cried tears streaming down her face i wanted to speak
20:52but my lips wouldn't move i was at the end and i couldn't control my body anymore
20:57i motioned for her to look at my bag
21:02she pulled out the contract and she broke down again after reading it
21:07viola you can't die i won't allow it you can't die
21:10she collapsed next to me sobbing uncontrollably
21:14i glanced at the clock on the wall only two hours left before i would leave this world
21:24suddenly my phone buzzed selena picked it up and showed me the screen viola after all these years
21:30of fighting with me you finally lost your parents your mate and your son they're all mine now you've
21:36finally faced the truth haven't you in your parents eyes you'll never be better than me selena shouted
21:42angrily i've never seen anyone so shameless in the past i would have argued back but now
21:50i only felt regret i regretted letting my parents adopt jane the girl who was abandoned at the orphanage
21:57she was only three back then other kids would bully her and she couldn't eat she had to sit in
22:03the
22:03corner and go hungry she was so pitiful that was why i asked my dad to adopt her
22:10we slept in the same bed ate together and went to school together we were closer than real sisters
22:17she was good at her studies and everyone loved her
22:22everyone praised her and i felt proud to have such an outstanding sister
22:28but over time i started noticing strange things
22:37everything
22:38my friends stopped hanging out with me and the boys i practiced hunting with no longer wanted to team up
22:43instead they all started hanging around jane
22:58even my parents started saying i wasn't as thoughtful as jane
23:01that i wasn't as sensible as she was
23:04they gave jane the master bedroom in the new house while i was left with the smaller room
23:08but i didn't see anything wrong with it by the time i realized jane was behind all of it
23:13she had already taken so much from me my parents love my master bedroom even my friends at school
23:19i asked her why she did it and she said
23:22viola don't think i'll thank you just because you asked your dad to adopt me
23:27why do you get to have loving parents and a grand home while i'm just some abandoned orphan
23:32i'm going to take from you
23:35everything
23:38you'll lose to me i'm sure of it
23:53viola don't die
23:54i tried to drive her away
23:56but i overestimated myself
23:59i couldn't make my family see how fake she was
24:11my parents loved her even more and my son and leo trusted her even more
24:15in the end i did lose
24:17i lost everything
24:24i could feel my soul slipping away from my body
24:27there were only five minutes left
24:29viola don't die please
24:31look your mom just sent you a message she must have sensed that you're in danger
24:36selena held up the phone to my face trying to keep me from giving up
24:40i stared at the message on my phone
24:42viola after jane is discharged she'll stay at your place
24:45remember lily's in the master bedroom and repaint the walls blue
24:50that's what she likes
24:51she'll be out in two weeks
24:53move all your things to the basement
24:55jane has too much
24:56there won't be space otherwise
24:57selena's hands shook as she held the phone
25:00she was probably feeling hopeless too
25:02i was so tired
25:04the white wolf hadn't moved for three days
25:07curled up in the corner
25:08its silvery fur fading little by little
25:12as if moonlight were being swallowed by dark clouds
25:15it was waiting for me
25:16waiting to leave together with me
25:18at the last moment my consciousness faded
25:20i saw the white wolf
25:28it slowly rose
25:30using its last shred of strength
25:32lifted its head
25:34and let out a silent howl
25:35toward the sky i could not see
25:37then its body scattered
25:39like crumbled snow
25:41bit by bit
25:42silvery light drifted out from within me
25:45like countless butterflies flying into the void
25:48it was my turn to leave
25:50i closed my eyes and sank into darkness for the last time
25:53selena held me and cried loudly
25:55but i could no longer comfort her
25:57on april 20th
25:59i closed my eyes for the last time
26:01and slipped away quietly
26:03i was watching tv
26:05when the door to my hospital room opened
26:08why are you here
26:09it was my biological father
26:12jeremy ziegler
26:13i felt both scared and disgusted when i saw him
26:16he smirked and looked me up and down
26:18what do you think i'm here for
26:20money
26:20i need ten thousand dollars
26:22i'm out of cash
26:24if i hadn't dumped you at the orphanage
26:26how would you have ended up with the smith
26:28i hurled a glass at him with a snarl
26:30no money then you come crawling to me again
26:32you've got hands and legs go earn it yourself
26:34what right do you have
26:35you never raised me
26:36he raised an eyebrow
26:37and looked at me with a challenge
26:39if you don't give me the money
26:41i'll tell everyone what you did to viola
26:43if i don't have money i'll do whatever it takes
26:46i deflated like a punctured balloon
26:49defiance leaking out of me
26:50most secrets couldn't see the light
26:52no matter the cost
27:06i don't care when you get out of the hospital
27:11i bid out through gritted teeth
27:13fine
27:14but you'll have to wait until i'm discharged
27:16and take over the company
27:17that's when i'll have money
27:18you've just been poisoned by regular wolf's bone
27:20yet you're acting like you're about to die
27:22your acting skills are impressive
27:24i don't care when you get out of the hospital
27:26you'll give me the money
27:27if you don't
27:28i'll pay your precious parents a visit
27:30or maybe even that new mate of yours
27:33let's see how they look at you
27:35after i'm done telling them everything
27:38jeremy left
27:40swaggering with a smug smile
27:43i was so angry
27:45i smashed everything in the room
27:48why
27:49why
27:50why did viola get a happy family
27:52with a mate who loved her
27:54while i was stuck with this irresponsible father
27:57i had worked so hard to get everything viola had
28:01i couldn't let it go now
28:02this card still belongs to miss viola
28:04and it's been frozen
28:07after consuming the miracle elixir
28:09i could feel my wolf's powers getting stronger
28:12i had to hurry and sell all the viola's assets
28:15getting the money in my hands was the safest thing
28:18i had already arranged for someone to fake my identity as a werewolf from another pack
28:22once i had the money i would leave this pack behind
28:25i would go to another pack and start a new life
28:28that sorry excuse of a father and the smith family would never find me
28:33with that thought in mind
28:35i rushed to the bank
28:38sorry is this your card
28:39the bank clerk asked
28:41yes
28:41this card belongs to a person named viola
28:44your id shows that your name is jane not viola
28:47i froze
28:48what did that mean
28:49we've already signed the property transfer agreement
28:51this card should be in my name now
28:53can you double check
28:53the bank clerk shook his head
28:55i haven't made a mistake
28:57this card still belongs to miss viola
29:00and it's been frozen
29:01i couldn't understand
29:02why was it frozen
29:03viola had transferred everything to me
29:06and the transfer agreement was perfect
29:08why was everything falling apart now
29:10i left the bank and quickly called my friends to check the ownership of the fur company
29:15they told me everything still belonged to viola
29:18and it had nothing to do with me
29:20that woman had tricked me
29:26i called her to ask about the company but she didn't answer
29:28i tried calling viola but she wouldn't answer
29:31what a witch
29:32what should i do
29:33without the money jeremy would expose everything i had done
29:37if that happened
29:38it would all be over
29:39i went back to the hospital
29:41and soon my parents and leo arrived
29:43i pretended to ask
29:46mom dad you're here
29:48have you seen viola
29:49i called her to ask about the company but she didn't answer
29:52dad shook his head looking upset
29:53that girl
29:54after the company she still throws tantrums
29:56just wait till i teach her a lesson
29:58doesn't she realize how much work goes into a transfer
30:01and now she won't even pick up her phone
30:04as dad spoke
30:04he called viola
30:06at first
30:06the call went through
30:08but by the third try
30:09it went straight to voicemail
30:10dad frowned
30:11now she's turned her phone off
30:14pulling a disappearing act huh
30:15she must be throwing a nose
30:16no doubt
30:17what set her off this time
30:18who hears of this drama
30:19and she still hasn't outgrown it
30:21mom also snatched up her phone
30:23fingers jabbing at the screen
30:25as she fired off a terse message
30:27viola get back here now
30:37mom also snatched up her phone
30:39fingers jabbing at the screen
30:41as she fired off a terse message
30:43viola get back here now
30:45it was clear to me that my parents
30:47were growing increasingly frustrated with viola
30:50i was delighted
30:53viola look at you
30:54all i had to do was say a few things
30:57and now your own parents are annoyed with you
30:59even though you tried to hide the company
31:02and the bank assets from me
31:03so what
31:04your parents and mate
31:06don't care about you anymore
31:08as long as i hold their hearts
31:10i'll have endless money
31:12i'll watch as the people you care about
31:15turn their backs on you
31:17but for some reason
31:18i felt like something was off
31:21my parents seemed a little distant
31:23like they didn't care about me
31:25as much as they used to
31:26i had a bad feeling
31:44when i got home from the hospital
31:46i sat down on the couch
31:48and noticed a faint unpleasant smell
31:51the flowers in the vase had wilted
31:53viola why didn't you change the flowers
31:55i called out
31:56however
31:57there was no answer
31:58that was when i realized
31:59she hadn't been home for a few days
32:03i took out my phone again and tried calling
32:05but no one picked up
32:07i mind linked her
32:08but there was no response either
32:16i sighed
32:17we only temporarily severed our mate bond
32:19it wasn't like we were really over
32:21why didn't she actually move out
32:24i left her a message
32:25when are you coming back
32:26the house needs cleaning
32:28but as i sent it
32:29i suddenly realized
32:30that all our past chats
32:31were mostly from her
32:32my replies were short
32:34just one or two words
32:35the more i looked
32:36the worse it felt
32:37a flicker of panic
32:38began to rise in me
32:39i sent another text
32:40viola
32:41come back quickly
32:42there's still so much waiting for you at home
32:53in the last year or two
32:54i had stopped showing viola the love i used to
32:57i had even started getting annoyed at her for talking too much
33:00and turned off the link between us
33:05i remembered when we first started dating
33:07viola was so lively bright and talented
33:13she always ranked near the top in our werewolf trials
33:16and she was also great with business and management
33:20she shone in a crowd
33:22but every time we went on a date we ran into jane
33:26she was quieter
33:27gentler
33:28and more thoughtful
33:30she didn't have the energy or spark that viola did
33:35jay knew how to keep a conversation going
33:37and always gave compliments
33:39but i didn't like jane that way
33:42still
33:42she was part of the family
33:45so i looked out for her more than i probably should have
33:48on the other hand
33:50viola had always been so quick to lose her temper with me
33:53and so harsh toward jane
33:57this time
33:57i agreed to go ahead with the marking ceremony
34:00to help jane recover faster
34:03as viola's mate
34:04i should help her sister
34:07maybe that hurt viola's feelings
34:09and that was why she wasn't talking to me now
34:14never mind
34:15once this was over
34:16i would apologize and make it up to her properly
34:20i sent a message and waited
34:23still
34:24no reply
34:26well
34:26maybe in a few days
34:28she would calm down
34:29and come back
34:37i lay in bed
34:38but i was somehow unable to sleep
34:42what's wrong
34:43charlie asked
34:45i still can't reach viola
34:47her phone is off and i'm worried
34:49charlie shook his head
34:52she's probably just mad
34:55she's not answering calls or messages
34:57and i tried to mind link her
34:59but she ignored me
35:01that girl has such a temper
35:03he thought viola was just angry and avoiding us on purpose
35:06but i had a bad feeling
35:08a feeling i couldn't shake
35:09in the past even if viola was upset
35:12she wouldn't go more than a day without contacting us
35:15she would always call or respond
35:17even if she had turned off her phone
35:19she would never block the link between us
35:21we were the ones who did
35:23but this time
35:24it felt different
35:25i remembered when viola had left a few days ago
35:27right after she had jane sign the transfer papers
35:29we had all been so elated
35:31until we realized she hadn't just stepped out
35:34she had vanished
35:34it wasn't like her at all
35:36what if something had happened to her
35:38how long has it been since we last saw viola
35:41my hands started to sweat with worry
35:43charlie thought for a moment
35:45four days
35:46my heart sank
35:47and the panic inside me grew stronger
35:51then wait for your sister to come back
35:53she'll help you
35:58the next morning i went straight to the hospital
36:05jane has viola been here
36:07i asked as soon as i walked into her room
36:09jane looked surprised by my question
36:11like she hadn't expected me to ask about viola right away
36:14no she hasn't been here
36:16what's wrong mom
36:18isn't she just ignoring us because she's mad
36:20jane's answer didn't sit right with me
36:22something felt off
36:23i turned and left
36:24my mind racing
36:25i needed to find viola
36:27mom
36:27i'm taking over the fur company
36:29and there's a big deal coming up
36:31i need a million dollars in working capital
36:33can you
36:37then wait for your sister to come back
36:39she'll help you
36:40i don't understand any of this company business anyway
36:42i didn't care about the company or the business right now
36:45i just needed to know where my daughter was
36:49when i turned to leave and closed the door behind me
36:51i saw jane's face
36:53it was twisted with anger resentment and something else
36:56disappointment
36:58but i didn't have the energy to care about her right now
37:00i headed straight to leo's house
37:03mommy you're back
37:05mark cried as he ran over to me
37:07but when he saw it was just me
37:09his face fell
37:17when mark saw it was just me
37:19his face fell
37:21grandma what are you doing here
37:23is your mommy home
37:26no she hasn't been home for days
37:28mark slumped onto the couch
37:30looking sad
37:32i wanted mommy's pancakes
37:34she makes them better than aunt jane
37:41just then leo called me
37:45wendy
37:46charlie and i have been looking for viola all day
37:48but we haven't been able to reach her
37:50we suspect something's happened to her
37:53and now
37:53now we're going to the police station to report her missing
37:57could you bring mark and meet us there
37:59i hang up
38:00my heart sinking deeper with every passing second
38:03i grab mock and rush to the station
38:15when we got there the officer asked
38:17are you sure you're looking for viola smith
38:18we nodded
38:19and the officer shook his head and said
38:21she passed away three days ago
38:24aren't you her family
38:26how could you not know this
38:27my legs gave out beneath me
38:29and i collapsed to the ground
38:30what that was a lie
38:40leo's eyes were bloodshot
38:41his fists clenched as he said
38:46check again
38:48we're looking for viola smith
38:49who lives on peace avenue unit 26
38:52the officer's expression didn't wave
38:55then i'm sorry to say
38:56but she's really gone
39:00her cause of death was silverthone wolf's bones poisoning
39:03which is a slow acting poison
39:05she took a potent painkiller for it
39:08which led to organ failure
39:09and her eventual death
39:10the officer shook his head again
39:12and added
39:13the doctor said she might have lasted months longer
39:17if she hadn't taken the painkiller
39:20or if she'd had access to a miracle elixir
39:22that could have neutralized the toxin entirely
39:26but it's too late to talk about that now
39:28my world spun at the officer's words
39:31a miracle elixir
39:32a cure we could have gotten for her
39:34it was me
39:35no us
39:36we had starved her of hope
39:38we as good as killed her ourselves
39:39then darkness
39:45someone's sending nice text to mommy
39:48this is so wrong
39:49wendy had passed out
39:51so i told trolley to take her to the hospital
39:53clutching the few belongings the police had returned to me
39:57viola's phone
39:58and a handful of signed transfer agreements
40:00i rushed after them
40:02at the hospital
40:03charlie stared at the documents
40:05viola
40:06is this all she left behind
40:09charlie was crying
40:10tears streaming down his face
40:13as he looked at the documents
40:14company shares transfer agreements
40:17and the bank trust fund transfer
40:19dad grandpa grandma look at this
40:21mark was holding up a phone
40:23someone's sending nice text to mommy
40:25this is so wrong
40:27the screen showed a text message
40:29viola
40:30your parents
40:30mate
40:31and son
40:31all belong to me now
40:33you can't compete with me
40:34i'll take everything you own
40:35viola
40:36don't think ignoring me will make this go away
40:38didn't you say you'd give me the company
40:40why does the ownership still belong to you
40:42viola
40:43you lied to me
40:44i'm going to tell mom and dad you've been picking on me
40:46viola
40:46are you dead out there
40:47actually
40:48it's better this way
40:49i took the only thing that could have saved you
40:52the miracle elixir
40:53now death is your only choice
40:55just die already
40:57it's better this way
40:58dozens of venomous curses followed
41:00each one so vicious that even the officers who had followed us fell into stunned silence
41:06did jane send these
41:08charlie's hands trembled uncontrollably
41:11he couldn't believe what he was reading
41:13and the realization hit him like a physical blow
41:15he was one of the people who had contributed to his daughter's death
41:26mommy really was sick
41:27and that woman bullied her
41:29mark cried
41:30wendy was pulling at her hair
41:32full of regret
41:32it's my fault
41:33i was so kind to an outsider
41:36but i neglected my own daughter
41:38i felt anger rise inside me
41:41and i stormed into jane's room
41:42to my shock
41:43there was a strange man in the room with her
41:45when jane saw me
41:47she looked panicked
41:52leo
41:53why are you here
41:55the man beside her sneered
41:58just perfect timing
41:59i'm jane's real father
42:02jeremy
42:03you all think she's this
42:05sweet and obedient girl
42:08don't you
42:08he laughed coldly
42:11she's nothing but a devil

42:14jeng tried to stop him
42:16but he didn't listen
42:16warned you
42:17no money
42:18and i'd expose everything
42:19did you really think i'd let you walk away unscathed
42:23jeremy turned to us
42:24and mockingly said
42:25open your eyes
42:27that silver honed wolfsbape
42:30she poisoned your mate with it
42:32paid a witch to brew it
42:34he paused for a moment
42:35to let the words sink in
42:37she was never sick
42:38everything was staged
42:40all to steal viola's last chance at survival
42:46you're all fools
42:49who treats an outsider like royalty
42:52while your own daughter and mate withers in front of you
42:56jeremy's words struck like a silver blade twisting deep
43:00get away from me
43:05here's the proof
43:06he threw a pile of documents at me
43:08charlie and wendy stood behind me
43:10barely able to breathe from the pain
43:11mark rushed to jane's bed
43:13hitting her with all his strength
43:14you killed mommy

43:31i turned to the officers
43:33my voice hollow but firm

43:38as we stood there
43:40looking at the empty

43:56and final arrangements
43:59everything under her name now belongs to you
44:01her face was blank
44:02as she looked at us

44:08after she left
44:09my in-laws and i broke down in tears
44:11holding each other as we cried
44:13our prejudice killed viola
44:15and our neglect cost her her life
44:17yet even in her final moments
44:19she still thought of us
44:20and left everything to us
