Chapter 79:
Julie’s Point of View
I closed the office door behind me and stood for a few seconds in the quiet corridor, trying to organize my thoughts.
Should I return to my room and remain within its walls? I leaned my body toward the stairs, about to descend, but I froze in my place when I felt firm fingers wrap around my wrist with force.
I turned quickly, facing a tall young man with jet-black hair and brown eyes that scrutinized my features with a strange and mysterious look.
I said sharply as I tried to pull my hand from his grip:
"What are you doing? Let go of my hand!"
He didn’t answer; instead, he stubbornly dragged me behind him toward the room adjacent to Robert’s office.
He pushed the door open, and we entered a luxurious meeting room with a long table and chairs surrounding it, then he slammed the door shut behind us with a single strike.
I shouted at him, rage boiling in my chest:
"Who do you think you are, you lunatic?"
I moved with wide steps toward the exit, but he was faster than me; he grabbed my arm again and pinned my back against the wall with a force that made my breath falter.
He placed his hands on the wall around me, cornering me, and asked in a stifled voice:
"Who are you?"

He didn’t move; instead, he began to pass his gaze over the details of my face with a strange precision, muttering:
"The same eyes... the same chin... even the same strands of hair."
My body stiffened, and I felt a shiver run down my spine, and I asked him in confusion and anxiety:
"What do you mean? What are you talking about?"
He uttered a single name that made the air freeze in my lungs:
"Violet."
I narrowed my eyes, trying to understand what he was raving about, and asked in a trembling tone:
"Violet who?"
He didn’t blink; instead, he brought his face closer until I felt his agitated breath, and said in amazement:
"You are a version of her... you just look younger."
