“Yes, that is exactly it.” I set my glass down. “He did not remember my mother. He did not remember anything. He felt no connection to the family.” I pause. “In the end, it was my grandfather who put pressure on him and used Jessica as leverage to force him to return home.”

Raymond’s gaze sharpens. “When your father disappeared at sea, I imagine the Nelson family must have put out an extensive search for him, right?”

“Exactly.” I glance at him. He is sharp. Perceptive. “What made my mother the angriest was that Jessica knew my father’s true identity, but instead of contacting the Nelson family, she chose to hide him away on her own.”

Raymond nods slowly. “I have met Mr. Warrick Nelson a few5:17

I continue. “Jessica developed feelings for him. Even though she knew he had a wife and children, she fabricated a story and deceived my father. Jessica saved his life, and they lived as a married couple for three years. Even after my father discovered the truth about her deception, he could not blame her.”

I pause. “After

A cold expression crosses my face. “Perhaps it was because they had been married, and the bond felt strong. Out of guilt, my father took pity on Jessica and decided to let her stay with us. My father lost three years of memories saving my mother’s life, and in return, my mother tolerated Jessica’s presence with remarkable patience.”

I let out a soft breath. “But Jessica could not stay in her place. She tried to sabotage my parents‘ relationship. My father had not fully regained his memory, and honestly, Jessica almost 5:17

I look down at the table. “He tore up the divorce papers. And my mother, who still held on to the fact that my father had risked so much to save her, forgave him. My father promised her he would send Jessica away.”

I pick up my glass, then set it down again. “But after Jessica left for a year, she returned with a daughter and found my mother. She gave my mother two options. Either give the child up for them to raise, or she would demand that my parents divorce.”

My voice hardens. “Even though my mother was incredibly patient, she could not bear living every day with an illegitimate child in the house. She decided to divorce, but my father refused. He was furious about Jessica’s interference, and the gratitude he once felt for her slowly faded away.”

I pause. “But just when things were at their worst between my parents because of Jessica, she showed up at the house, only to be turned away by my mother. When Jessica called my father, my mother blocked the calls. To everyone’s shock, Jessica ended up getting into an accident and died.”

may have reignited some of my father’s fond memories of her. He blamed my mother for it. He insisted on adopting Jessica’s daughter and placing her under my mother’s name, demanding that my mother raise her as her own.”

I meet Raymond’s eyes. “My mother, of course, refused. She even considered running away, but my father found out and locked her up.”

I take a sip of water. “Eventually, my mother pretended to comply. She found an opportunity to escape to Zenithara, far from my father. When she arrived here, she realized she was pregnant. She had already left her other three children with my father, so she decided to keep me by her side.”

I set the glass down. “Later on, my mother found out she had a terminal illness. Knowing she did not have long to live, she told me everything.”

I remember it clearly. Serena’s voice, thick with tears. Eleanor, ham so sorry. The grudges of the past should not have affected18

My voice drifts through the quiet room. Calm. Distant. Like I am talking about someone else’s life. “I was brought back to the Nelson family in high school and stayed there for a while. I did not get along with them. My half–sister Brianna and I were like oil and water. After I graduated from college, I never went back. I severed ties with the family.”

Raymond’s expression shifts. “So, you did not use your current name in college?”

I nod. “That is right. The Nelson family created a fake identity for me. Said I was their adopted daughter. They erased all traces of my past, so you could not find anything in your investigation.” I pause. “To the Nelson family, my existence was a secret. They certainly would not let anyone uncover the truth about my mother and me.”

I sigh softly. “So, Eleanor is just Eleanor. And Anavia is just Anavia.”

“Yes.” I murmur. “Anavia Nelson.” A dry smile touches my lips. “They sure knew how to pick names.”

Electra speaks quietly. “Ms. Serena Jackson hoped Eleanor could get along with her family. At the time, Eleanor did feel some connection to that family.”

Her expression sours. “But then, everyone, including Eleanor’s father, sided with Brianna. Eleanor’s father was bad enough, but even her three brothers–who shared the same mother—

also sided with Brianna.” Her voice hardens. “If it were not for

Brianna and her mother’s interference, Ms. Serena Jackson would never have left everything behind.”

She mutters something under her breath, barely audible. “That illegitimate child. Warrick was willing to raise her, fine. But he made Eleanor’s mother take her in too. Wanted her listed under Eleanor’s mother’s name.” She shakes her head.

With all due respect… what the hell was Warrick thinking?15:18
