The setting sun painted the horizon in brilliant, breathtaking hues. The evening breeze gently rustled the floral vines wrapped around the swing, catching the hem of Elsa's dress.
She sat there, incomparably elegant and beautiful. Every smile, every movement felt incredibly real.
Lizetta couldn't even tell the difference between a dream and reality anymore. Her eyes welled with tears as she murmured softly.
"Mom?"
Elsa's eyes grew teary as well, though her smile only became more tender and loving.
"It's me, Liz."
Unable to control herself, Lizetta walked over and sat down on the swing. Through blurred, tear-filled eyes, she turned to look at her mother.
She possessed no actual memories of Elsa; she had been swapped the moment she was born.
And yet, sitting beside her, she felt a profound, undeniable pull of blood and absolute devotion.
Her gaze was almost greedy in its longing.
Elsa reached out and stroked her hair. "My sweet girl, my darling baby... It's all my fault. I didn't even know I had lost you, leaving you to suffer out there for so many years."
Lizetta smiled through her tears and shook her head frantically. "I don't blame you, Mom. You ruined your health just to bring me into the world. I know you're the person who loved me most in the entire world. Why did it take you so long to visit me in my dreams?"
Elsa caressed her daughter's cheek, her expression full of pity and guilt.
"I wanted to come see my sweet girl much sooner, but I was so afraid you would blame me... that you wouldn't forgive me. It was my poor judgment that brought a wolf into our home and ruined my daughter's life. But now, the people who did this are facing justice, and my heart is finally at peace. It's time for me to let go and leave..."
Startled, Lizetta leaned forward and threw her arms tightly around Elsa.
"Where are you going? Are you never coming to see me again?"

Does evil really triumph always above the good in this novel ? How comes Stella's evilness has no end? Does the author believes that by giving justice and importance to bad people like Stella will make this novel interesring? I am starting to lose my patience and ask when will the writer finally will realize that the protagonist is Lizetta and not Stella....
