“Do you think if I tell them the truth about what happened back then, they’ll be so grateful

that they’ll treat me the same as you? But would they still treat you like the savior after

that? I really can’t say,” Olivia said with a smirk as she paced around Mara, her stride

confident and self-assured. It was a rare moment of triumph for her, after years of playing

second fiddle to Mara’s lead.

For so long, Olivia had been under Mara’s thumb, but now she had her moment in the sun,

her chance to call the shots.

Alyssa was listening from the sidelines, utterly confused by the young women’s

conversation. Hadn’t Mara died trying to save Balfour all those years ago?

“What do you want from me?” Mara asked, her voice low, fists clenched. She didn’t know

how much Olivia had gleaned from her sleep talk, or what sort of ‘evidence’ Olivia thought

she had. Despite being certain she had destroyed every last photograph before she left, it

was possible she had missed something. If there was any trace left from those days that

Olivia could hold over her, then everything Mara had carefully built over the years could

come crashing down.

No, Mara couldn’t let that happen. She had plans with Balfour, a life to lead!

Now, Ivy stood like a mountain in Mara’s path, and her old friend Olivia had turned into an

adversary. People could be so unpredictable.

“Me? I haven’t decided yet. But you might want to start treating me better, don’t you

think, Mara? For years I’ve been like your lapdog, always at your beck and call. When you

were in a good mood, you’d throw me a bone. When you weren’t, you’d treat me like I was

the enemy. I’m a living, breathing person, not your servant, get it? But I guess you

wouldn’t understand how I feel, since you’re the one who started this whole mess. I should

thank my lucky stars I decided to open that door when I heard the noise from your room

that night. Otherwise, I’d still be in the dark, duped by a ‘friend’ who was actually living a

lie!”

Olivia laughed softly, almost as if she found the whole thing hilarious.

“It’s funny, isn’t it, Mara? A woman kills her own sister just to win a man’s heart. If you

were in my shoes, wouldn’t you find this woman terrifying, cold-hearted, downright evil?”

Olivia whispered these words into Mara’s ear, and Mara, as if she couldn’t take it anymore,

shoved Olivia away violently. “What do you know? You don’t understand anything, so stop

making wild guesses!”

Alyssa tightened her grip on her handkerchief, shocked to her core. So Mara had been

hiding this dark secret all along. It wasn’t about Balfour at all!

“I really don’t get it, Mara. Why don’t you enlighten me? Why would you kill your own

sister? Even if you loved Balfour that much, couldn’t you have just competed fairly? She

was your flesh and blood, for heaven’s sake! How could you be so cruel?”

Olivia frowned, and despite all the years claiming not to care about family ties, the weight

of the revelation was heavy on her. But deep down, she knew she could never go through

with something like that, not like Mara had with her own flesh and blood.
