Raya slammed into the wall , feeling like her ribcage had shattered . " Even now you're still lying ?! " " I've already investigated everything . I know what's true and what's not ! " . Millicent's hesitant hand pulled back , and the loving look she used to give Raya was replaced by disappointment and anger . Looking at their faces , Raya knew it was all over . " What's the real truth behind everything ?! " The cold voice made Raya shiver uncontrollably . She didn't dare hide anymore , tears streaming down her face . " It was me . I wanted to drive Celia to death and take her place in the Fairborne family . " The weight finally lifted from her chest , but Aurelian's eyes only grew redder . He gritted his teeth and pressed on . " What about everything else ? " She broke down and confessed everything , each admission making his heart sink deeper . " It was all me . Every single thing . " " Celia never bullied me . The fall from the window , the assault story - all fake , all my setup . I framed her for everything . " Raya didn't dare hide anything anymore , terrified that if she hesitated even a second she'd face death again .

Millicent completely lost her composure and broke down crying . For the first time , she abandoned all her breeding , sobbing while pointing an accusatory finger at Raya . " I never imagined you could think like this . Even now , you don't feel any remorse . " " I regret it so much - why did I adopt you ? Why did I raise such an ungrateful monster who killed my own daughter ? " Silas spoke up harshly . " The Fairborne family gave you everything , and it still wasn't enough ? Your delusions went this far ?! " Raya turned to Aurelian . " Aurelian , you love me , don't you ? I know I was wrong . I can apologize to them , to Celia too , but I really do love you . " " You love me too , don't you ? " She thought this confession might move him , but his expression didn't soften at all - if anything , it showed disgust . " Don't you think I fell for you because of your lies and manipulation ? " Aurelian lashed out at her . " Every one of your lies led me to make those terrible mistakes . A woman with such a vicious heart - you're absolutely revolting . " The obvious disgust in Aurelian's eyes cut Raya to the core . For the first time , her tears were genuine . " No , Aurelian , I really do love you … and you loved me too , didn't you ? " The love he'd once declared became her only remaining lifeline . ♡ ( 0 )
