Behind the iron door lay a small, empty room. Although no one was inside, the walls were covered with photos 

Luke moved closer, inspecting the images. As he studied them, he realized that every single one featured him as the subject. 

I had long suspected Anna’s unhealthy fixation on Luke, but I hadn’t anticipated it could reach such a chilling level. 

I examined the photos carefully. The earliest one was when Anna first arrived at the Bolton residence with her foster mother, Sheila 

Many were taken in secret, showing the young Lake with a cold expression. His disgust and hatred were especially evident whenever he looked at Anna. 

Luke had always deeply loved his late mother, and Adam’s remarriage to his so–called first love- something his mother had despised–was unbearable for him. 

As time passed, the harshness in Luke’s eyes diminished. 

His expression softened, and the way he looked at Anna changed, losing the disdain that had once been 

there. 

The photos from the last two years were different. They weren’t taken in secret anymore; they were of the Two of them together. 

Looking through them. I could see how things had changed. At first, Luke appeared reluctant, his face awkward and distant, with no sign of closeness. 

But over time, they grew more familiar, and his resistance faded. 

He smiled freely in the photos, posing with Anna and even embracing her. 

They traveled together, visiting various countries and watching sunsets. 

It was no wonder he had been so busy these past two years. Whenever he left for work, he had been taking Anna along. 

Each photo was like a dagger to my heart, a painful reminder of what I had lost. Standing in this room, I felt like the world’s biggest fool. 

The arrangement of the photos was even more ingenious. They weren’t random but formed a heart on one wall, with Luke’s portrait prominently displayed on another. 

Lake took a step back, his expression difficult to read. This… this is … 

Anna pressed herself against him, wrapping her arms around his waist as she buried her face in his chest. 

“Luke” she murmured. I’ve liked you since the moment I met you. I didn’t understand my feelings back then. I just wanted to see you every day

“So, you took all these photos of me?”

“I’m sorry,” she said, tears streaming down her face. I couldn’t help it. I like you too much. I know you didn’t want me around, and I couldn’t get close to you. These pictures were all I had to console myself.” 

Her voice trembled as she continued. “At first, I never meant to compete with Chloe for your affection. I just… I just loved you too much.” 

If I hadn’t seen how she treated Grandma, I might have believed her act. 

But Luke was affected. He seemed overwhelmed by her words. In a moment of weakness, he tilted her chin and kissed her. 

Anna responded immediately, wrapping her arms around his neck. I caught the triumphant gleam in her 

eyes 

I smiled too. 

So, that was Luke’s supposed love for me. 

Perhaps he had fallen for Anna without realizing it. Maybe he only clung to memories of the past rather than me as a person. 

If Anna’s earlier seductions were calculated, Luke’s response was genuine this time. 

Anna leaned closer to whisper something into his car, her tone playful yet bold. This is my little sanctuary, Luke–our secret place where no one will hear us. 

Luke pushed her against the wall of photos, his movements deliberate as he began removing her clothes, 

From my hidden spot behind the door, I heard their escalating passion. Revulsion churned in my 

stomach. 

1 returned to Grandma’s side, fully aware that Anna had managed to turn Luke against me, leaving me with no way to reveal my whereabouts. 

Grandma was already asleep. I gazed out the window, watching snowflakes drift through the air. The New Year was drawing closer. 

I instinctively touched my flat stomach. 

The baby hadn’t been with me long–not even developed yet–but I still couldn’t help feeling attached to that tiny life. 

What an unfortunate fate to have a mother like me. And with a father like Luke, even more so. 

Luke had emirely forgotten about my miscarriage. Worse still, he might believe Anna’s lies and dismiss Carter’s findings about the poisoned orchids. 

Why had I wasted so many years loving a man so spineless? 

I wished I could go back and knock some sense into my younger self. 

As I turned back, I noticed Grandina watching me intently, concern written in her gaze.

I reached out to stroke her hair gently, even though she couldn’t feel it, and whispered, ‘Don’t worry. Grandma. I’m fine“. 

I could tell she wanted to ask what had happened. 

With a quiet sigh, I added, “Luke can’t be trusted. Anna has him wrapped around her finger. You need to recover soon. Grandma.” 

Grandma blinked, and I shared the updates Carter had uncovered.
