“Don’t fall for him again.”

| entered Caleb’s room when, out of nowhere. | found myself pinned against the wall.

And he toldto stop harboring feelings for him. He was talking about Dexter.

“Not anymore.” | mumbled, my voice hoarse as | averted my gaze.

“Lies...” He accusedof lying.

“I...” | tried to explain, but his grip on my chin prevented any further words as his mouth sealed over mine.

His breath was scorching, and the room seemed to burn with an invisible fire.

| was still afraid of him: Caleb could be truly intimidating when he meant business. “Colin...” | muttered.

It seemed that he could regain a sliver of sanity when | called him Colin.

True to form, his icy eyes hesitated for a moment at the sound of his nColin, and he releasedwith a

heavy breath, probably worried about hurting the baby growing inside me..

“Phoebe... don’t leaveagain. Don’t lie toagain.”

He kept saying ‘again’. As if Phoebe Caldwell had deceived him countless times before.

But | couldn't remember any of it.

That night, Caleb clung towith a stubborn desperation, refusing to let go for the longest time.

Maybe it was the rain, but | cdown with a fever in the night, my head throbbing with a dull

pain.

Memories that weren't mine began to creep into my consciousness.

“To get a hold on Caleb, you need to beca woman named Phoebe...”

“You must mimic her every move, her expressions, even the simplest gestures and words. Everything should be

as Phoebe-like as possible.”

“Only then can you make Caleb keep you by his side, and step by step, you'll secure your shares of the Langley

Group.”

“No, | am Phoebe myself...” | struggled in my dreams, wrestling with those foreign memories.

Who was that voice?

The murderer?

No, the voice was all wrong.

“No. Lam Phoebe myself.” | awoke with a start, gasping for air.

Caleb was sitting besideand holding a damp cloth, his eyes filled with concern.

“Colin...” | whispered, fear suddenly grippedand | clung tightly to Caleb.

Caleb's body tensed, then he soothedsoftly. “Nightmare?”

| nodded, my thoughts a jumbled mess.

Foebe had too many secrets.

“It’s okay, I'm here,” he said, his voice hoarse but | always felt that familiar.

“Sleep now. You've got a fever. You'll feel better when you wake up.”

| drifted back into a restless slumber, unsure how long | slept. When | awoke, it was already noon the next day.

“Colin...” | murmured.

“Where's Caleb?” | inquired as | ventured out.

“The young master has gone to the company,” cthe reply from a new face among the Langley household

staff. | hadn't even noticed the change the day before.

When did all the staff get replaced?

“Where's Ailie?” | probed.

The nanny looked down. “I'm sorry, ma'am, | don’t know an Ailie. My name's Fidelia.”

| remained silent, sensing a newfound and exaggerated respect from the staff.

“Tell the butler | want to go to the office.” | said.

“Certainly.” The new nanny nodded and hurried off to find the butler.

“Ma’am, your car is ready.” | was flabbergasted when the butler entered and claimed.

The Langley family’s old butler had always been with Brendan. Why even the butler had been replaced?

“The previous butler...?” | was perplexed.

The old man was incapacitated, leaving the Langley family without a head. Who had the

authority to overhaul the entire staff?

“The old butler fell ill and has retired. | am the new butler. If there's anything you need, ma'am, you can instruct

| felt adrift, unsure of who did these.

Was It Colin's doing?

Surely he didn’t have the power or influence to orchestrate such a change, especially when everyone in the

Langley family considered him a fool.
