Sebastian had always known, deep down, that Lillian was the Sinclair family’s daughter. What he hadn’t expected was for the truth to erupt so suddenly, in such a public and brutal way.
As the rain poured harder, his expression darkened into something terrifying.
At a cemetery, a girl stood drenched to the bone, drawing a sorrowful tune on her violin.
The haunting notes blended with the relentless patter of rain, each sound amplifying the other’s loneliness.
On her face, it was impossible to tell where the raindrops ended and the tears began.
When the final note faded, she knelt before the headstone, wiping at the rain-soaked photograph again and again, though the water never cleared away.
Her voice trembled.
“Mom… I’m sorry you had to see your daughter like this. All these years, I tried to live as you wanted, to be happy, to let go of my resentment toward him. Ten years-it’s been ten years. And today I finally stood before him, but I couldn’t stop myself from hating him.
Mom, tell me… what should I do? I’ve tried to stay away, but I can’t, I really can’t. You must have seen everything that happened today, from up there. How could he do this to you? How could he stand there and speak so righteously, as if he ever loved you?
He never loved you at all. Not once. So why pretend to be so devoted? Why did you trap yourself in that prison of a marriage all your life?
This violin-it was your favorite. I’ve taken it back for you. I won’t let it be tainted. It holds our memories, my last link to you. Let it stay with you, always p>
At Ravenwood Manor-
Sebastian was nearly frantic with Lillian’s disappearance,
Foster had mobilized everyone to search, but it was as though she had vanished into thin air.
The night deepened, the rain showing no sign of stopping.
Louis lingered anxiously near the entrance, praying for a miracle. He couldn’t understand what could drive someone to disappear without a trace.
Suddenly, Sebastian’s phone rang.

“Sebastian,” Fawks’ voice came through. “I just found something-Catherine’s grave is in Yellowwood Cemetery. Could she have gone there p>
Hope flashed in Sebastian’s eyes. Without another word, he bolted.

By the time Foster reached the doorway, the roar of an engine filled the air. A sports car had already sped out of the estate.
At Yellowwood Cemetery, Sebastian’s heart clenched at the sight before him.
Lillian lay collapsed in the rain before the headstone, limp and lifeless, rain beating down on her fragile frame.
She had left him smiling so brightly. How had she fallen so far, so quickly?
Sebastian rushed forward, gathering her into his arms. Her body burned with fever.
He turned his gaze to the headstone-on it was the photograph of a stunning woman, her smile radiant, her features nearly identical to Lillian’s. Her mother.
Nearby, Foster crouched, inspecting the disturbed earth. “Someone dug here recently p>
Sebastian’s eyes narrowed as he looked to the overturned soil beside the grave. “Find out what’s inside p>
“Yes, sir.” Foster set to work.
Meanwhile, Sebastian carried the girl away without delay.
When the car pulled back into Ravenwood Manor, the household rushed out.
Seeing him step from the car with Lillian in his arms, everyone’s tense nerves finally eased, though her condition made their hearts sink.
“Is Ms. Harrington alright?” Louis asked, his voice tight with worry.
Sebastian’s order came sharp and fast. “Dr. Will, here in five minutes. Prepare clean clothes and light food p>
Without another word, he carried Lillian straight upstairs.
