Third Person’s POV

Riley let out a cold laugh, her voice steady and calm. “Alpha Ronan, that question shouldn’t be for me. You should be asking Scarlett. And in case you’ve forgotten, Tessa is alive because I saved her. No one had more reason to keep her alive than I did.”

Mia stepped forward to back her up. “Alpha, while you were out fetching the doctors, our young lady was the only one desperately trying to save your sister. If you don’t believe her, you can ask Kael Vale and Counselor Maddox. They saw everything.”

Ronan turned his gaze to the two men. Their faces were stiff, their expressions unreadable, but far from confident.

“Hah.” Riley let out a scornful snort. “And you still think I was the one trying to kill Tessa? If I really wanted her dead, why would I risk everything to bring her back? The one who’s been hurting her all along is Scarlett. But the three of you were too blinded by her act to see it.”

Scarlett staggered backward in fear, her voice trembling, “It wasn’t me! It really wasn’t! Don’t listen to her lies!”

Riley narrowed her eyes and sneered. “Still trying to deny it? Fine. Why don’t we just ask Tessa herself?”

She didn’t spare another look at Scarlett. Instead, she walked steadily to Tessa’s bedside, leaned slightly, and whispered, “Tessa, it’s me, Riley. Do you remember me?”

Tessa had been in a coma for five years. Riley feared she might’ve lost her memories–that was the only reason she asked.

Her gaze locked on Tessa, refusing to miss even the smallest shift in her expression.

And then it happened.

The moment Tessa’s eyes met Riley’s, tears burst forth like a broken dam. Big, hot tears spilled down her pale cheeks, one after another.

Her lips trembled. It was clear she had a thousand things to say–things that had been buried deep inside her. But when she opened her mouth, no words came out. Only muffled sobs and broken gasps filled the

silent room.

Riley froze.

This wasn’t the reaction of someone who didn’t recognize her.

But if Tessa remembered her, why was she crying?

“Tessa, don’t cry. Tell them the truth first,” Riley urged anxiously,

It wasn’t the tears she was afraid of–it was Ronan’s tendency to always assume the worst of her.

Sure enough, before she could say more, Ronan’s furious voice exploded across the room. “Riley! You scared Tessa to tears, and you still dare to pretend you’re innocent?!”

He stormed forward, grabbed her slender wrist, and yanked her away from the bed.

“How much longer are you going to torment her?!”

Tessa’s eyes widened as she watched her brother manhandle Riley. Her tears flowed even more fiercely.

But Ronan didn’t notice.

“Enough!” Ronan roared, eyes locked on Riley, burning with anguish. “You’ve scared her enough! How long are you going to keep pretending?!”

“Mmph… Ah… uhh…” Tessa sobbed harder, helpless and furious.

You idiot, she wanted to scream. Stop yelling at Riley. Stop hurting her. One day you’re going to regret this.

A thousand truths burned in her heart.

But when she opened her mouth-

Nothing came out.
