Chapter 6 The housekeeper took one look inside the box and recoiled as though hed been electrocuted , flinging it away from him . The contents spilled across the polished marble floor with a sickening thud . Inside the festive red gift box sat a smaller , dark crimson urn . Its contents now scattered across the floor , fine powdery ash mixed with tiny bone fragments . Hektor lurched forward , his legs barely cooperating . With trembling hands , he picked up a small red booklet among the ashes . His pupils constricted to pinpoints when he realized what he was holding : divorce papers with his signature on them . What the fuck ? he whispered hoarsely . I never signed any- Then he flipped it open to find a death certificate nestled inside . With his mother in laws name printed in stark black letters . This this isnt real , he stammered , his voice rising with panic . Its fucking impossible . This has to be some sick joke ! When hed left that day , her head had barely been bleeding just a minor injury , nothing life threatening . Yunifer ! he bellowed , whirling toward the stairs . What kind of sick game are you playing ?! Get Yunifer down here NOW ! he demanded , his voice cracking as he fixed wild , bloodshot eyes on the housekeeper . A maid stepped forward hesitantly . Sir … I I saw madam leave with her suitcase about an hour ago . Left ? Hektors voice dropped to a horrified whisper . His legs gave out , and he crumpled onto the floor among the scattered ashes . Since Yunifers release from prison , no gallery would touch her work . No studio would hire her . Hed made sure of that . Hed given her no access to their accounts . She had nothing . The thought of her out there alone , broke , desperate sent a jagged blade of panic through his chest that 19-29 The Black Swans Final Revenge Pirouette : The 99th G All Alo 36.6 % Chapter 6 made it hard to breathe . The room fell into an eerie silence . Hektor looked utterly destroyed , while the staff stood frozen , afraid to move or speak . Then Larias shrill voice shattered the tension . Oh , Hektor , she cooed , dabbing at nonexistent tears . Im not even upset about almost being strangled anymore ! I came here with nothing but love in my heart to celebrate Yunifers birthday , and look how she repays your kindness . Using what is this , flour ? -to fake her mothers ashes ? And forging official documents ? Thats beyond disturbed , thats actually criminal . First driving her father to an early grave , now putting death curses on her own mother ? Shes rotten to the core . Youve been so good to her , Hektor , she purred , stroking his arm . If you chase after her now , youre just rewarding this disgusting behavior ! She kicked the urn aside contemptuously , then bent down to help Hektor up . But the man who had always treated her like a precious jewel suddenly shoved her away with shocking force . His eyes blazed with a fury shed never seen directed at her . SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH ! he roared , spittle flying . Yunifer has NOTHING ! No money , no resources. If I dont find her , she could die out there ! Is that what you want ?! He struggled to his feet , swaying slightly . Laria froze in genuine shock before quickly recovering . Her eyes filled with perfectly timed tears , her lower lip trembling on cue . I cant believe youre screaming at me because of her , she whimpered, voice cracking . Everything I say , everything I do is because I care about you , Hektor . Sweetie , Yunifer survived being beaten so badly in prison that she coughed blood and lost a kidney.Do you honestly think missing her birthday would drive her to … divorce you . Shes obviously using her mother to manipulate you , to make you feel guilty and responsible … Hektor had never heard Laria talk so much or so callously .
