Isabella was Henry’s legitimate sister–in–law after all; he only dared to flirt and steal a touch when he thought no one was watching, but he never pushed too far.

Maybe the harder something was to get, the more he wanted it.

Eventually, he tried to seduce Isabella, hoping she’d give in.

While the other brothers fought over the family fortune, Henry spent his days trailing Isabella. Paula couldn’t stand it.

To cause trouble, she paid a gardener to secretly take photos of Isabella.

But she never expected that guy to have dirty thoughts.

When Isabella tried to fight him off with tooth and nail, five–year–old Sterling calmly grabbed a burning candlestick and drove it into the man’s lower back.

Everything exploded after that.

The gardener was rushed to the hospital for surgery, but he lost too much blood and had severe burns. He didn’t survive.

Donovan paid the gardener’s family and covered it up.

Henry and Paula were punished and lost several valuable assets.

Paula had nightmares for weeks.

She kept dreaming of Isabella with torn, dirty clothes, a burned body on the ground, and that little boy’s empty, cold eyes.

Sterling had always been different–terrifyingly smart and almost emotionless. He never cried or made a fuss. When he looked at people, there was nothing there. It made folks uneasy.

That day, seeing the child drenched in blood and staring blankly, Paula suddenly felt regret.

How had she turned into someone so frightening?

So she stepped back, ignored Isabella and Sterling, and stayed away from the bamboo garden.

Henry turned meek too, probably because he was oddly scared of his nephew.

Quinton returned from overseas soon after with Winnie.

But Isabella was unlucky. Paula never figured out what happened that day. In the end, Isabella died. Quinton came out of it with damaged organs and spent six months in the hospital. Winnie miscarried and had her uterus removed. Sterling was the only one who came out unhurt.

Sterling didn’t have an easy life either. After Quinton left the hospital and married Winnie, the kid who’d just lost his mother ended up under his stepmother’s care.

When Sterling was ten, Winnie dumped him in the mountains. Donovan later found and raised him.

Years on, Sterling grabbed control and became the Romero leader.

His hands were stained with blood since childhood. He fought his way through hell.

Paula was telling Claudia about Sterling’s hidden past, but Claudia didn’t react the way Paula expected.
