Chapter 141: The Weight of Truth

(Elena’s POV)

I stared at David’s peaceful face as he slept in the recovery chamber. The weight of truth pressed down on my chest like a stone.

Should I tell him that Sophia was his biological sister? The very

Marcus stood beside me, his jaw clenched tight. He took a deep breath before speaking.

“Have you ever considered that you might not be a child of the Blackthorne family?”

I replied calmly, “I’ve known that for a long time.”

His golden eyes widened with surprise. “You knew?”

I stood up slowly, facing him directly. “Yes, for a long time. Even though they were only my foster parents, they still suffered because of me.”

My voice cracked slightly. “They could have been saved.”

My eyes reddened with suppressed emotion. The familiar crushing weight settled in Marcus’s chest as he was reminded once again that he was the architect of this tragedy.

After a moment of my emotional release, he could only offer a hoarse “I’m sorry.“,

He had no other words.

I momentarily wavered, almost moved by his genuine remorse. But I steeled myself against the feeling.

“Save your apologies for David instead,” I suggested quietly.

The suburban linn reeked of cheap disinfectant and stale cigarettes. I sat in the dimly lit lobby, heavily

My fingers trembled as I lit another cigarette. This habit had developed during my relationship with a certain Alpha, though I’d never smoked in front of Marcus to maintain my perfect image.

Sandy Parker finally arrived, her cheap clothes making her stand out even in this rundown place.

“Did you get the money?” I asked immediately, not bothering with pleasantries.

Sandy’s face fell. “My father received the eight million from the Blackwood Consortium, but he only gave me

three hundred thousand.”

I felt my blood pressure spike, “What?”

“He claims the rest is for building houses and business investments,” she continued miserably. “He even changed the account password so I can’t access it.”

My eyes turned cold and calculating behind my sunglasses. “Without me, your family would never have had such an opportunity for social advancement.”

Sandy shifted uncomfortably under my gaze.

“Do you understand what I’m offering you?” I leaned forward. “The chance to become Marcus’s savior. To gain his trust and drive a wedge between him and his Luna.”

Sandy’s eyes lit up with hope. “You mean I could actually-”

“He’s mated,” I cut her off with a mocking laugh.

Her face crumpled with disappointment.

“Despite our years of acquaintance and passionate relationship, even I didn’t secure the Luna position,” I reminded her harshly. “What makes you think you could?”

I stubbed out m

“I need one million within two days,” I demanded.

Two days later, sunlight filtered through the medical center’s lush along the peaceful paths.

Marcus’s Elite Guards and two pack nurses followed at a respectful distance.

I stopped by an artificial lake, crouching beside David’s chair. “Look at the beautiful scenery,” I said softly, pointing across the water.

“You should enjoy the sunshine after being confined for so long.”

David couldn’t speak and his legs remained paralyzed due to prolonged unconsciousness. But he could understand my words and blink slowly in response.

His eyes followed my gestures, taking in the peaceful garden around us.

My phone rang suddenly. Hugo Ashworth’s name appeared on the screen.

“Elena, I need you at the Northern Territory Central Healing Institute immediately,” his voice was urgent.

I looked at David apologetically. “I have to go. The nurses will stay with you.”

”

I hurried to the institute, finding the internal medicine department overwhelmed with patients. Hugo was working alone, his usually pristine appearance slightly disheveled.

“I’m sorry I’m late,” I said breathlessly.

He glanced up from his patient files. “You’ve been busy lately.”
