Melissa came back from Riley’s room empty–handed. She was frustrated and angry, and her face looked terrible.

All she could think about was Riley’s cold expression and those impossible conditions that had left her speechless.

Melissa felt terrible for letting Elsie down.

She had promised Elsie–just moments before, in fact–that she would find a way to get her into Harper Group in style.

Feeling guilty, she pushed open the door to Elsie’s bedroom.

Under the soft glow of the bedside lamp, Elsie was bent over her desk, scribbling furiously in what looked like a diary.

When she heard the door open, she spun around, startled. Seeing it was Melissa, panic flashed in her eyes. She quickly snapped the diary shut and shoved it into a drawer, fumbling.

Melissa noticed every nervous move. But she didn’t say anything right away.

She pushed down her curiosity, put on a gentle, loving face, and walked over. She stroked Elsie’s hair, her heart aching.

Then she asked, “Elsie, why aren’t you in bed yet? Are you… still upset about what happened at dinner?”

Elsie shook her head hard and forced a smile. “No, Mom. Dad was right. I was being childish.”

She yawned and rubbed her eyes. “It’s getting late. I’m tired. I think I want to sleep.”

It was clearly a dismissal.

Melissa’s heart sank a little, but she didn’t push. She just said softly, “Alright. Get some rest. Don’t worry about anything. Mom’s got

this.”

The next morning, Elsie left early. She said she needed to go to her studio and deal with those customer issues–she didn’t want to upset Zavier any further.

Melissa saw her off with a warm smile. But the second the door closed behind Elsie, the smile vanished.

She turned around and headed straight upstairs–into Elsie’s room.

Ever since adopting Elsie, Melissa had poured an almost obsessive amount of love and control into this sweet, obedient girl.

This wasn’t the first time she’d snooped through Elsie’s diary to find out what she was really thinking and what secrets she was hiding.

This time, she had a clear target–the diary Elsie had hurriedly hidden away last night.

She went straight to the desk drawer and found the little locked book in no time.

The lock was more for show than anything. She pried it open with a bobby pin in seconds.

Melissa flipped straight to the most recent pages. She had expected to find worries about Riley coming back, or frustration about not getting into Harper Group. Instead, she was shocked to see page after page of Elsie’s secret feelings for Sebastian.
