“Hey, my sister married you when you were a nobody, remember? How could you forget about your promise to her after becoming successful? If you kill me, I’ll fucking haunt you!” Fabian was furious, thinking that was what Cameron meant.
“She’s not dead.”
Fabian was stunned. He blinked stupidly, thinking he had misheard it. “What? What did you say?”
“Rhea’s still alive,” Cameron continued after a pause, “Maria should know about it too.”
“How’s that possible?” Fabian did not believe him. “She died in an explosion, and the police provided proof. There was also the autopsy report. Everyone saw Maria break down when we buried Rhea. What bullshit are you spewing?!”
Fabian thought Cameron was lying.
‘How would I not know if Rhea is still alive?’
However, Cameron’s gaze was firm despite his indifference. “It doesn’t matter whether or not you believe it. I’m just telling you she’s alive and has done many unimaginable things. You ended up here because of her!”
Fabian widened his eyes, overwhelmed by Cameron’s words. The former dropped to his knees in confusion. “R-Rhea’s alive? But how?”
He did not know if he should be happy or angry. Fabian knew he should be happy his daughter was alive but wondered what Cameron meant by saying she was why he ended up here.
“I…don’t understand,” Fabian frowned and spoke hesitantly, “What did she do?”
After several seconds of silence, Cameron said, “Horrible things.”
...
Fabian’s once splendid house was now a mess with belongings all over the floor. The servants had already left the place.
Maria paced around and kept muttering, “Why’s this happening? W-Why?!”
Her hair was messy, and she had no makeup on. At that moment, she heard a car entering the area. She snapped out of her daze and looked outside.
