Chapter 33 It was a picture of me , a childhood version of me , smiling brightly in what appeared to be the Silver Lake packs territory . My heart skipped a beat , but I quickly masked my emotions . That photo was fake . I had fabricated it long ago , knowing full well that Silas would dig into my past . Interesting choice of décor , I said casually , pointing at the photo . Silas leaned back in his chair , his expression unreadable . I wanted to know more about you , he said simply , his tone as steady as his gaze . Your past seems … mysterious . aised an eyebrow , keeping my voice light . You couldve just asked me . Snooping around isnt very polite , Silas . He didnt flinch at my words . Instead , he leaned forward , his elbows resting on the desk . Then tell me , he said , his voice softer now but no less serious . Who are Joanne and Joey ? Why do they look exactly like my daughters ? His words hit me like a storm , but I didnt let it show . I had prepared for this moment , yet hearing him say it still unsettled me . I forced a look of shock onto my face , my mouth slightly open as though I couldnt believe what I was hearing . Your daughters ? I asked , my voice trembling just enough to sound believable . Silas , I … I dont understand . Joanne and Joey are my children . What are you talking about ? Silas didnt answer immediately . Instead , he opened the top drawer of his desk and pulled out a small , worn photograph . He held it out to me , his hand steady but his eyes filled with an emotion I couldnt quite place . I hesitated for a moment before taking the photo . My breath caught in my throat as I looked at it . It was a family photo Silas , a woman who looked exactly like me , and two little girls who were unmistakably Joanne and Joey . Five years ago , Silas said , his voice low but firm . This was taken five years ago , when my daughters were still alive . Your daughters are them . I dont know how , but they are . And I need you to tell me the truth . My fingers tightened around the photo as I forced myself to look up at him . Silas , this … this is impossible , I said , my voice barely above a whisper You think I dont know my own children ? he snapped , his calm demeanor breaking for the first time . Joanne and Joey have the same birthmarks , the same mannerisms , even the same laugh ! Tell me the truth , now . The weight of his gaze was unbearable , but I refused to falter . I had spent years perfecting this lie , crafting it so intricately that not even Silas could unravel it . I dont know what youre trying to say , I replied , shaking my head . Joanne and Joey are mine . I carried them , raised them . Theyve never been to the Evans estate , let alone been your daughters . Silass jaw tightened , and he stood , towering over me . Dont lie to me , he said , his voice colder than Id ever heard it . I stepped back instinctively , clutching the photo to my chest . Im not lying , I said firmly , though my heart was racing . Silas stared at me for a long moment , his eyes searching mine as though he could find the truth buried there . Finally , he sighed and turned away , running a hand through his hair . I dont know what game youre playing , he muttered , but I will find out . Joanne and Joey are my daughters . Ill prove it . I didnt respond . There was nothing I could say that would change his mind . After a moment , Silas sat back down , his expression hardening . Why are you here ? he asked , his voice clipped . I blinked , momentarily thrown off by the abrupt change in topic . Then I remembered the proposal in my hands . 12:33 Alphas Regret : Magnificent Return of the Rejected Luna 70 % Chapter 33 I came to discuss a health care project , I said , placing the folder on his desk . Silas glanced at the folder but didnt open it . Ill look at it later , he said dismissively . I nodded , understanding that the conversation was over . Without another word , I turned and left his office , my heart pounding in my chest . Once I was outside , I allowed myself to breathe again . The encounter had shaken me , but it had also confirmed something I already knew Silas wasnt going to stop digging into my past . He was too smart , too determined .
