The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress novel Chapter 827

Sebastian keenly sensed that something was off with Citrine. Her words only confirmed his suspicion, and a knot of anxiety tightened in his stomach.

His lips trembled slightly. "Citrine," he asked cautiously, "is it something I did? Have I not been good enough?"

He rushed to add, "If there's anything I'm doing wrong, just tell me. I... I can change. I'll change anything."

His eyes reddened with panic, and his voice shook.

"No, it's not you. You've been wonderful." Seeing him like this made her heart ache. She lowered her gaze for a moment, gathering her courage before finally speaking. "Sebastian... I'm so sorry. I lied to you."

Sebastian just looked at her, confused.

Citrine continued, "Before we even got together, someone approached me. He told me that the chairman of Stellaris Group is the primary personality... and that you are a second personality, a version of him from his youth."

"I'm sorry," she whispered, her head bowed, unable to look him in the eye. "I know this is impossible to accept, but I couldn't keep hiding it from you anymore."

"What?" Sebastian stared at her, the word barely a breath.

Seeing the look on his face crushed her, and the whole story came tumbling out.

"So... I'm just his secondary personality. I'm not... him." The color drained from Sebastian's face. The pain of being deceived was nothing compared to the wave of terror that washed over him. His first, overwhelming thought was that he would lose Citrine. He didn't even have a real identity of his own.

He was just a fragment of someone else, a ghost who could disappear at any moment.
