Chapter 161

“You’re sure?” he pressed

“One hundred percent.”

Minutes later, the same officers I’d spoken to before arrived. I told them everything. They listened, exchanged quiet words with Henry, then left

By the time Liam returned that evening, he already knew.

“Dad updated me.” he said. “An investigation’s underway. Give it a few days. This will be over.”

I went to bed carrying a fragile hope. Soon, I might finally be out of danger.

The days dragged on, phone calls circling with no answers. The tension in the house was so thick it felt like breathing smoke.

Then, one evening, Laura pushed back her chair and slapped her palms on the table. “Enough of this gloom. We’re having a game night.”

And so we did. Me, Laura, Sophia, and Jay, who had dropped by. Henry and Liam weren’t home, still consumed with their endless updates and investigations.

The rest of us gathered for charades, and before long the room was alive with laughter. My sides hurt from watching Laura’s dreadful acting while Sophia mocked her every move.

Then the front door opened. Liam and Henry walked in together.

“Good news,” Liam announced, his eyes finding mine. “Cassie’s killer has been arrested.”

The laughter died. Silence filled the room.

“Who?” I whispered.

And the story began.

It was Nara, Richard’s wife.

Back in college, Richard had always liked Cassie. But Cassie had been with Liam. Later, Richard

married Nara, the same girl who once tried to win Liam back, even after he’d chosen Cassic.

Liam once had a brief fling with Nara, but when he walked away, she never truly let go, and Cassie never forgot it.

Years later. Cassie rekindled her affair with Richard. He was married, but still held feelings for her To spite Nara, Cassic led the fire. When she got pregnant, she told Richard the babies were his. She bled him for money, manipulated him with lies,

When Nara learned the truth about her husband, Cassie, and the pregnancy, panic consumed her. With no children of her own with Richard, she felt Cassie threatened the fragile ground she stood on. In desperation, she paid to have Cassie poisoned.

The man I’d seen, David, wasn’t just anyone. He was Richard’s right hand. He fed Cassie information about Nara, and Cassie used it to dig deeper into their lives. He was also the one who had sent me those threatening messages.

Cassie, as always, played her twisted game- telling Richard he was the father, telling David the same, even throwing Liam into her lies.

When Liam finished, silence followed.

Then Sophia broke it, blunt as ever. “Cassie was a bitch.”

“Language,” Laura hissed, swatting her hand.

“Sorry, Mum,” Sophia said, unrepentant. “But it’s true. That girl was evil.”

Jay frowned. “So… who really was the father?”

Liam’s eyes met mine. We didn’t need words. We both knew, some secrets were better left buried.

“No one knows,” Liam said flatly. “And now, no one ever will.”

Laura exhaled heavily, reaching for my hand. “All that matters is it’s over. You’re safe. Finally.”

I managed a weak smile. “So… no more bodyguard?”

That cracked the tension. Laughter broke out, shaking the heaviness away.

Henry, even smiling faintly, pointed a finger at me. “Yes. Marco can go. But if you ever get yourself tangled in trouble again, he’s coming back.”

I groaned. Sophia cackled beside me.
