00:07the wolf spirit within me was slowly dying that beautiful white wolf was my soul gentle noble
00:15with as pure as moonlight but now she curled deep in my consciousness every breath agony
00:22her faint breath heavy with despair i was slowly dying from silverstone wolf's bane
00:27and there was only one cure the miracle elixir but my mate leo ashford bought it and gave it to
00:34my adoptive sister jane smith he did it because he thought i was faking my illness
00:42i 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
00:53manufacturing business i built from the ground up to jane and my parents praised me for caring
00:58about my sister i offered to sever our mate bond and leo praised me for finally being sensible
01:03when i told my son he 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 wyola is finally not so bad
01:24i 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 wendy 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 lie 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
02:09mom said coldly stepping in front of the bed to block me
02:14we're the smith family nobles of moonfall pack we have standards and we're respected
02:20but you you've always been hot-tempered and jealous you even faked being sick just to steal the miracle elixir
02:26meant 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
02:37that 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
03:11and try to prove how fake she really was
03:14but all i got in return was my parents distrust and disgust
03:19more distance less love and now i was dying
03:24there was no point in explaining anything anymore
03:32anyway it's good that you're here
03:34saves me the trouble of calling you i have something to say
03:37dad said with a cold expression
03:39i actually something to say too
03:40i said trying to keep my tone light
03:43jane's always wanted my fur business right
03:46well i've been thinking
03:47since we're family
03:49i'll give it to her
03:50the cold expression on my parents faces cracked momentarily
03:54they exchanged glances
03:55then looked at me
03:57you're serious
03:58is this some kind of trick
04:00are you asking for something in return
04:12they couldn't believe it
04:14their first reaction was to think i was playing a trick on them
04:18and i couldn't blame them
04:19jane 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
04:30and every fight chipped away at whatever family love we had left
04:34but now
04:35but what about now
04:36how pathetic
04:38since that's what you want
04:40i'll give you exactly that
04:42i'll make sure you finally see her true colors
04:45you should have done this a long time ago
04:46and now i'm ready to
04:49dad said softly
04:50his voice relaxed
04:52and his eyes finally looked kind
04:54mom stepped forward and gently held my hand
04:56you've grown up
04:58you're finally acting sensible
04:59she smiled warmly
05:01i know you created the company
05:03but jane's been top of her class in finance and business at university
05:07if anyone can take your company and turn it into the top fur brand in the country
05:11it's her
05:12i nodded quietly
05:13and handed the signed transfer papers to jane
05:16my fingers brushed against hers for just a moment
05:19her skin was warm
05:21so full of life
05:22unlike mine
05:23which had already begun to feel cold
05:26she took the papers from me with both hands
05:28pretending to be hesitant
05:30are you sure viola
05:32i don't want you to feel forced
05:34but her fingers
05:36had already closed around the documents
05:39tight
05:40possessive
05:41like she was afraid i might snatch them back
05:50i wasn't going to
05:52i'm sure
05:53i said quietly
05:54as i stared at my signature
05:55on the bottom of the paper
05:57i caught sight of jane's expression
05:59jane looked surprised at first
06:01but when no one else was watching
06:02she shot me a smug
06:04victorious smile
06:05in this competition
06:06for family affection
06:08i had lost
06:10here
06:10drink some water
06:12you must be thirsty
06:15mom offered me a glass of water
06:17and gently brushed my hair back
06:19her smile soft and sweet
06:21i nearly cried
06:24why was it only when i gave something to jane
06:26that mom treated me like her daughter
06:28when i returned home from the hospital
06:30my son and mate
06:32were having dinner
06:33at the table
06:35this cream of mushroom soup
06:36is amazing dad
06:37mark said with a grin
06:38your aunt jane loves it too
06:40we'll bring her some after dinner
06:41they were laughing and chatting
06:43looking like the perfect little family
06:45i stood in the doorway
06:46for a moment longer
06:47than i should have
06:48watching them
06:49memorizing them
06:50none of them had noticed me yet
06:51for a brief second
06:52i felt like a ghost
06:54in my own home
06:54but the second they saw me walk in
06:56everything changed
07:01viola
07:04why are you home
07:05leo ashford set down his spoon
07:07staring at me in confusion
07:09the spread of food on the table
07:11seemed to hurt my eyes
07:13mark's gaze was distant
07:15as if he were looking at a stranger
07:17that was when i realized
07:18that leo knew how to cook
07:20and he was good at it too
07:21i never knew that
07:22i used to be the one who cooked
07:24the one who worked long hours
07:26to pay the bills
07:28the one who held the house together
07:30but leo always complained
07:32that my cooking was terrible
07:33even mark picked up on it
07:35he started acting like i wasn't good enough
07:37to be his mother
07:38i gave everything to this family
07:40my time
07:41my energy
07:42my whole life
07:43and in the end
07:44not one of them
07:45respected me
07:46back then
07:47if they gave me the cold shoulder like this
07:49i would have snapped
07:50i would have shouted
07:52why can't i come home
07:53why do you look at me like i don't belong here
07:55but not anymore
07:56i didn't answer
07:58i just started packing my things quietly
08:00when i didn't answer
08:02leo hesitated for a moment
08:04then walked over to me
08:06viola
08:17you agreed to it
08:22viola i wanted to talk to you about something
08:25his voice was softer this time
08:27almost guilty
08:30your sister just started her treatment
08:32and the miracle licks are affecting her emotions
08:34makes her feel down
08:35to keep her spirits up
08:36and to help with her recovery
08:37your parents suggested
08:38that she and i go through the marking ceremony
08:42they hope it'll make her feel better
08:44my heart sank
08:45and for a second
08:46i thought i had misheard
08:49you agreed to it
08:51leo looked uncomfortable
08:52at my response
08:55viola
08:56jane may not be your real sister
08:58but she's been part of this family
08:59since your parents adopted her
09:01you want her to get better don't you
09:03he paused
09:04like he was choosing his words carefully
09:06we're just going through the marking ceremony
09:08the witch says it'll help jane recover faster
09:10as it'll lift her mood
09:11it won't change anything between us
09:13i'm still your mate
09:14and mark's bad
09:15before i could respond
09:16mark spoke up
09:17mommy
09:18aunt jane's really upset
09:19the doctor said it's bad for her health
09:22so please agree with dad okay
09:23i stared at them both
09:25one was the man i had loved for years
09:27the other my son
09:29i had given everything to both of them
09:31every piece of me
09:32as a mate
09:33as a mother
09:34i had sacrificed it all
09:36why were they treating me like this
09:38why would they betray my love
09:39just for jane
09:46i stood there silently for a long time
09:49what did it matter now
09:50i was dying anyway
09:51jane wanted my things
09:53fine
09:53she could have them all
09:55i didn't want everything i had anymore
09:58i wiped away the tear
10:00that slipped down my cheek
10:01then looked up at leo
10:03okay
10:03fine
10:05leo's face lit up with surprise and excitement
10:07he quickly grabbed the papers from the table
10:09great
10:10this is the mate bond desolation agreement
10:12once you sign
10:13we'll formally reject our bond and be done with it
10:16i felt like my heart was shattering
10:17so he had planned this all along
10:19leo really wanted to end things between us
10:22didn't he
10:23to be with jane
10:24mommy

10:25mark said
10:26handing me the pen
10:27i took it
10:28and quickly signed the paper
10:29once leo and i rejected each other
10:31the ridiculous conversation ended
10:32then
10:33i went upstairs
10:34to rest
10:35dot leo solemnly promised from behind me
10:37viola
10:38when jane's fully recovered later on
10:40i'll end things with her
10:41believe me
10:42my heart will always be yours
10:44this is just a formality
10:45i pursed my lips
10:47in my heart
10:48i already knew the truth
10:49we were over
10:50then i heard him sigh and add
10:51viola
10:52you've become more composed now
10:53not as reckless and unreasonable as before
10:55back when we used to argue
10:56i wasn't always reether
10:57i owe you an apology
10:58least jane to better
11:00i'll take care of you
11:01i won't she upset you that one
11:02mommy abu and me greyfram
11:03you've been a so easin to jane
11:05i'm infallin you
11:06their words hit me
11:07like a wave of cold water
11:17their words contained gratitude and care
11:19and all of it
11:21started only after the bond was broken
11:23how ironic
11:24before
11:25i had hoped for something
11:27maybe even expected it
11:29but now
11:30as i headed upstairs
11:31i felt nothing but numbness
11:33it didn't matter anymore
11:34i was dying anyway
11:36i tried to hurry up the stairs
11:38but before i could reach the top
11:40everything went black
11:41i shivered
11:42gasping as i blanked up at the ceiling
11:45leo and mark
11:46were standing over me
11:47their faces tight
11:48with frustration
11:49they didn't seem worried
11:51just
11:52disappointed
11:56mommy are you pretending again
11:58mark asked
11:59his voice flat
12:00you've used this fanning trick so many times
12:02can you try something new
12:04daddy and i are supposed to deliver aunt jane her mushroom soup
12:07you've wasted our time and now the soup's cold
12:09mark was clearly angry
12:10leo looked disappointed
12:12and he was holding a glass of ice water in his hand
12:14bila stop it
12:15even though we've dissolved our mate bond
12:17i still love you
12:18don't try to test my feelings for you
12:19with tricks like pretending to faint
12:21i slowly came to my senses
12:23realizing what had just happened
12:24i had passed out
12:26but instead of rushing me to the hospital
12:29or getting me medical help
12:31they had drawn a glass of ice water in my face
12:33to wake me up
12:35it was laughable
12:36they will know i was really dying
12:38rather than pretending
12:39if they had just unblocked their link to me
12:42no one cared enough to check
12:44mommy you look fine
12:45you're all rosy and healthy
12:46you don't look sick at all
12:48next time
12:49try a new trick if you're going to pretend
12:51mark's words cut through me like a knife
12:54i forced myself to stand up
13:05the doctor's potent painkiller was working
13:08making me look healthier than i was
13:10but i knew
13:12deep down
13:13my body was already fading
13:15i'm not pretending
13:17i might have skipped a meal
13:18that's all
13:18if you want to go to the hospital
13:20i'll go with you
13:21the transagreant still needs a few signatures
13:24leo clearly wanted to say more
13:26but when he saw me pick up the agreement
13:28he simply nodded
13:29and followed me to the hospital
13:31so
13:32he already knew about the agreement
13:34viola
13:34you're here
13:35when we arrived at the hospital room
13:38jane was watching a movie
13:39her complexion
13:41undeniably worse than mine
13:43if anything
13:43she looked like the one
13:45who was seriously ill
13:46despite her warm greeting
13:48the challenge in her eyes
13:49that unmissable arrogance
13:51caught sharper than any blade
13:54viola
13:55thanks for handing the company over to me
13:57don't worry
13:57i'll make it even more successful
13:59with jane managing the company
14:02you won't have to work so hard
14:03you'll still get your share of profits
14:05and it'll be so much easier for you
14:07mom added
14:08grabbing my hand
14:09with a smile
14:10i forced a smile back
14:12yeah i agree
14:12that's why i'm gonna hand over all my assets
14:15to jane
14:16to manage
14:17that way
14:18i can relax
14:20everyone froze
14:21shocked
14:22they knew just how much
14:24that was worth
14:36viola are you serious
14:38even the trust fund in the bank
14:39leo's voice was a mix of shock
14:41and confusion
14:43i was puzzled
14:44jane had always wanted
14:46everything i had
14:47and the whole family
14:48was always there
14:49to support her
14:50when i refused
14:51i was called selfish
14:52rude and ungrateful
14:53now that i was finally giving it to her
14:55they were acting strange
14:57wasn't this what they had been pushing for all along
14:59after a long silence
15:00it was dad who finally spoke up
15:02viola you've really grown up
15:04you're being kind to your sister
15:05looking out for her now
15:06should have been like this from the start
15:08we're family
15:09what's yours is ours
15:11no need to draw a line so firmly everywhere
15:13it's good to see you two getting along
15:15your mother and i are relieved
15:17that added with a smile
15:18but were they really relieved
15:21did they honestly think jane was capable of managing all that wealth
15:24at home
15:25she food everyone with her fake kindness
15:29but out in the world
15:31no one would buy it
15:33i felt a tickle in my nose
15:35when i rubbed it
15:37my fingers came away smeared with blood
15:39why the nose bleed
15:43why the nose bleed
15:44why the nose bleed
16:02the humidity in this room is perfectly fine
16:05mom murmured
16:06handing me a tissue
16:07i wiped the blood away casually
16:09then tested the waters
16:13mom
16:15dad
16:16if i died one day
16:17would you be sad
16:18there was a pause
16:20a heavy silence in the room
16:21dad looked at me with a serious expression
16:23his voice sharp
16:26viola don't play these tricks
16:27don't pretend to be sick
16:29just to get sympathy
16:31your wolf may not be the strongest
16:33but this is just a small problem
16:35that can be easily cured
16:36don't try pull stunts
16:37like in front home again
16:38he sighed
16:39rubbing his forehead
16:40the room
16:41which had been peaceful
16:42just moments ago
16:43suddenly felt heavy again
16:45with dad's words
16:46i smile bitterly
16:48what wolf
16:49my wolf had already died
16:50while fighting off
16:51the silverthorn wolf's bane
16:52that toxin
16:54laced with silver
16:55had seeped into my bloodstream
16:57and eventually corroded my organs
16:59and in the end
17:01it killed my wolf
17:02dad
17:03i know viola lied before
17:05acted out
17:06and pretended to be sick
17:07but that was the old her
17:09i believe she's better now
17:12jane said
17:13looking at me
17:14with a sharp
17:15taunting look
17:16she sounded like
17:17she was defending me
17:18but all i could hear
17:20was her reminding
17:20everyone of my past mistakes
17:23i think aunt jane
17:24needs more love and care
17:29all right
17:29just don't mess up again
17:31look at you
17:31look at you
17:32so full of life
17:33dad muttered
17:34then turned to jane
17:34with undisguised tenderness
17:36meanwhile
17:36jane's the one
17:37who really needs care
17:38his voice dropped
17:40heavy with concern
17:41this illness
17:41her healing factor
17:43is almost inexistent now
17:44i think aunt jane
17:46needs more love and care
17:47mark said
17:47leaning over the bed
17:48please get better soon
17:50aunt jane
17:50i felt a sharp pain
17:51in my chest
17:52and all the small hope
17:53i had left
17:54was crushed
17:54i wiped away the tears
17:56that had started to fall
17:57then looked at mark
17:58and said
17:59you said your aunt jane
18:00is the best
18:01right

18:32he rushed to jay's bedside
18:33and called out

18:36the pain in my chest
18:37was unbearable
18:42in a daze

18:50any affection

18:55or kissed the back
18:56of my hand

19:02watched the scene
19:02with smiles on their faces
19:04pleased
19:04i pressed my hand
19:06to my mouth
19:07trying not to cry out loud
19:08and quietly stepped out
19:10of the hospital room
19:11i didn't know where to go

20:29selena cried as she spoke
20:31her voice full of frustration
20:33i had an oxygen mask
20:34on my face
20:35and i smiled weakly at her
20:37she was still the same
20:38quick tempered
20:39loud
20:40and caring

20:54i was at the end
20:55and i couldn't control
20:56my body anymore
20:57i motioned for her to look
20:59at my bag

21:04and she broke down again
21:06after reading it
21:07viola you can't die
21:08i won't allow it

21:10she collapsed next to me
21:11sobbing uncontrollably
21:14i glanced at the clock
21:15on the wall
21:16only two hours left
21:17before i would leave
21:18this world
21:24suddenly
21:24my phone buzzed
21:26selena picked it up
21:27and showed me the screen
21:28viola
21:29after all these years
21:30of fighting with me

21:41selena shouted angrily
21:43i've never seen
21:44anyone so shameless
21:46in the past
21:47i would have argued back
21:49but now
21:50i only felt regret
21:52i regretted letting
21:53my parents adopt jane
21:54the girl who was
21:55abandoned at the orphanage
21:57she was only three
21:58back then
21:58other kids would bully her
22:00and she couldn't eat
22:02she had to sit in the
22:03corner and go hungry
22:04she was so pitiful
22:06that was why i asked
22:07my dad to adopt her
22:10we slept
22:11in the same bed
22:12ate together
22:14and went to school
22:15together
22:15we were closer
22:16than real sisters
22:17she was good
22:18at her studies
22:19and everyone loved her
22:22everyone praised her
22:23and i felt proud
22:25to have such
22:26an outstanding sister
22:28but over time
22:29i started noticing
22:31strange things
22:37everything
22:38my friends stopped
22:39hanging out with me
22:40and the boys i'd
22:41practiced hunting with

22:43team up

22:44they all started
22:45hanging around jane
22:58even my parents started
23:00saying i wasn't as
23:01thoughtful as jane
23:01that i wasn't as
23:02sensible as she was
23:03they gave jane the
23:05master bedroom in the
23:06new house
23:06while i was left with
23:07the smaller room
23:08but i didn't see
23:09anything wrong with it
23:10by the time i realized
23:11jane was behind all of
23:12it
23:13she had already taken
23:14so much from me
23:15my parents love
23:16my master bedroom
23:17even my friends at
23:18school
23:19i asked her
23:20why she did it
23:21and she said
23:22viola
23:23don't think i'll
23:24thank you just
23:25because you asked
23:25your dad to adopt
23:26me
23:27why do you get to
23:28have loving parents

23:54i tried to drive her
23:56away
23:56but i overestimated
23:58myself
23:59i couldn't make
24:00my family see
24:01how fake she was
24:11my parents loved
24:12her even more
24:12and my son and leo
24:14trusted her even more
24:15in the end

24:24i could feel my soul
24:26slipping away from
24:26my body
24:27there were only five
24:28minutes left

24:33message she must
24:34have sensed that
24:34you're in danger
24:36selena held up the
24:37phone to my face
24:38trying to keep me
24:39from giving up
24:39i stared at the
24:41message on my phone
24:41viola after jane
24:43is discharged
24:44she'll stay at
24:45your place

24:57selena's hands shook
24:59as she held the
25:00phone
25:00she was probably
25:01feeling hopeless too
25:02i was so tired
25:04the white wolf
25:05hadn't moved for
25:06three days
25:07curled up in the
25:08corner
25:08its silvery fur
25:10fading little by
25:11little as if
25:13moonlight were being
25:13swallowed by dark
25:14clouds
25:15it was waiting for me
25:16waiting to leave
25:17together with me
25:18at the last moment
25:19my consciousness
25:20faded
25:20i saw the
25:21white wolf
25:28it slowly rose
25:30using its last
25:31shred of strength
25:32lifted its head
25:34and let out a
25:35silent howl
25:35toward the sky
25:36i could not see
25:37then its body
25:38scattered
25:39like crumbled
25:41snow
25:41bit by bit
25:42silvery light
25:44drifted out
25:44from within me
25:45like countless
25:46butterflies flying
25:47into the void
25:48it was my turn
25:49to leave
25:50i closed my eyes
25:51and sank into
25:52darkness for the
25:53last time

25:54and cried loudly
25:55but i could no
25:56longer comfort her

30:07call went through but
30:08by the third try it

30:10voicemail dad frowned
30:11now she's turned her
30:13phone off pulling a
30:14disappearing act huh
30:15she must be throwing
30:16a nose no doubt but
30:17set her off this time
30:18who years of this drama
30:19and she still hasn't
30:20outgrown it mom also
30:22snatched up her phone
30:23fingers jabbing at the
30:24screen as she fired
30:25off a terse message
30:27violet get back here
30:28now
30:37mom also snatched up
30:38her phone fingers
30:39jabbing at the screen
30:41as she fired off a
30:42terse message
30:43violet get back here
30:44now it was clear to me
30:46that my parents were
30:47growing increasingly
30:48frustrated with viola i
30:51was delighted viola look
30:53at you all i had to do
30:56was say a few things and
30:57now your own parents are
30:59annoyed with you even
31:00though you tried to hide
31:01the company and the bank
31:02assets from me so what
31:04your parents and mate don't
31:06care about you anymore as
31:09long as i hold their
31:10hearts i'll have endless
31:11money i'll watch as the
31:13people you care about turn
31:15their backs on you but
31:17for some reason i felt
31:19like something was off
31:21my parents seemed a little
31:22distant like they didn't
31:24care about me as much as
31:25they used to i had a bad
31:44feeling when i got home from
31:46the hospital i sat down on
31:48the couch and noticed a faint
31:50unpleasant smell the flowers in
31:52the vase had wilted vola why
31:54didn't you change the flowers i
31:55called out however there was no
31:58answer that was when i realized
31:59she hadn't been home for a few
32:01days i took out my phone again
32:05and tried calling but no one
32:06picked up i mind linked her but
32:09there was no response either
32:16i sighed we only temporarily
32:18severed our mate bond it wasn't
32:20like we were really over why
32:21didn't she actually move out i
32:24left her a message when are you
32:26coming back the house needs
32:27cleaning but as i sent it i
32:29suddenly realized that all our
32:31past chats were mostly from her
32:32my replies were short just one or
32:34two words the more i looked the
32:36worse it felt a flicker of panic
32:38began to rise in me i sent another
32:40text viola come back quickly
32:42there's still so much waiting for
32:52in the last year or two i had stopped
32:55showing viola the love i used to i had
32:58even started getting annoyed at her for
33:00talking too much and turned off the link
33:02between us i remembered when we first
33:06started dating viola was so lively bright
33:09and talented
33:13she always ranked near the top in our
33:15werewolf trials and she was also great
33:18with business and management she's shown
33:20in a crowd but every time we went on a
33:23date we ran into jane
33:26she was quieter gentler and more
33:28thoughtful
33:30she didn't have the energy or spark
33:32that viola did
33:35jay knew how to keep a conversation
33:36going
33:37and always gave compliments but i didn't
33:40like jane that way
33:42still she was part of the family so i
33:45looked out for her more than i probably
33:47should have
33:48on the other hand viola had always been
33:51so quick to lose her temper with me
33:53and so harsh toward jane
33:57this time i agreed to go ahead with the
33:59marking ceremony to help jane recover
34:01faster
34:02as viola's mate i should help her sister
34:07maybe that hurt viola's feelings and
34:10that was why she wasn't talking to me
34:11now
34:13never mind once this was over i would
34:17apologize and make it up to her
34:19properly
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
34:36i 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 but
34:59she ignored me
35:01that girl has such a temper
35:03he thought viola was just angry and
35:05avoiding 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
35:14contacting 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
35:42charlie 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
37:02mommy 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
37:45charlie 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 now we're going to the police station to report her missing
37:57could you bring mark and meet us there
37:59i hang up my heart sinking deeper with every passing second
38:02i grab mock and rush to the station
38:15when we got there the officer asked
38:16are 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
38:45check again
38:47we'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
39:16if she hadn't taken the painkiller
39:20or
39:20if 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 to the officer's words
39:31a miracle elixir
39:32a cure we could have gotten for her
39:34it was me
39:35no
39:35us
39:36we had starved her of hope
39:37we as good as killed her ourselves
39:39then
39:40darkness
39:45someone's sending
39:46nasty text to mommy
39:47this 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
40:07is this all she left behind
40:09charlie was crying
40:10tears streaming down his face
40:12as he looked at the documents
40:14company shares
40:16transfer agreements
40:17and the bank trust fund transfer
40:19dad grandpa grandma look at this
40:21mark was holding up a phone

40:40why does the ownership still belong to you
40:42viola

40:58dozens of venomous curses followed
41:00each one so vicious
41:02that even the officers who had followed us
41:04fell into stunned silence
41:06did jane sent 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
41:31full 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 she looked panicked
41:52leo

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
42:39everything was staged
42:40all to steal viola's last chance at survival
42:47you'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
42:58twisting deep

43:05here's the proof
43:06he threw a pile of documents at me
43:08charlie and wendy stood behind me
