was koolish in the past: I needed to inch towards growth and change, but my lessons came at a heavy cost 

“M. Fitzgerald, you’re acting like a madman. I’m seriously considering calling the loony bin,” 

growing his brow, Robin genumely believed Dexter had lost it. 

As an atheist Dexter couldn’t possibly believe in reincarnation or souls. Dexter opened his mouth to speak, but Hailey and Melody arrived in a rush. 

Dexter Hailey and Melody ran to him, enveloping him in a tight embrace, “How could you speak out like this? Are you out of your mind?” 

Melody’s eyes were red, glaring at me viciously, “Foebe, still playing dress–up as Phoebe to seduce Dexter “You’re playing with his life!” 

She was pinning the blame on me now.

“It’s not her tault. I came here to see her.” Dexter explained with a grave voice. 

“Shut up!” Hailey snapped, slapping Dexter across the face. “You never appreciated Phoebe when she was here, and when I told you to cherish her, what did you do? Now, for this obvious impostor, you’re acting like it’s a matter of life and death!” 

Hailey was the epitome of a strong woman. She turned to me, her voice low and threatening. “Foebe Larson, I don’t care if you’re after the Langley family or the Fitzgerald family, but if your hurt my son, I won’t let you off easily!” 

I glanced at Melody, whose talent for stirring up trouble hadn’t changed a bit since she was kid. “Hailey, I married Caleb, and now I’m carrying his child. No scheme of mine would involve your son: he’s no match for Caleb.” I retorted with a cold laugh before continuing. “Instead of doubting my motives, you might want to take a closer look at the venomous woman beside you. Not content with having a hand in Phoebe’s demise, she’s now eyeing the Fitzgerald fortune. The worst part is just as Dexter’s recovering, she’s already trying to latch onto the enigmatic CEO of All–Stars Consortium.” 

Melody turned pale. “You’re spouting nonsense!” 

“Hailey, Dexter, don’t believe her. She’s an accomplice to the murderer, a bad seed,” Melody said in a panicked tone, clearly showing her guilt. 

“Ha.” I reached for my phone, and paused for a moment, only to remember that Caleb had chucked my previous one into the water. Luckily, all my recordings were backed up in the cloud.

After logging into my account, I played the recording of my conversation with Melody at the hospital, “Come on, Dexter and Hailey, listen to this. This is proof of Melody begging me to hook her up with the CEO of All–Stars Consortium while your son was in a coma.”

I raised an eyebrow, giving Stella a proud tilt of my chin. I had learned from my past mistakes after all. I’d been murdered by that woman before; when it came to a meeting with her, I had to record the conversations. 

As the recording played from my phone, Melody was in shock. She flicked a panic glance at Dexter, and then quickly stepped forward to explain. “Don’t stir up trouble. I just wanted the CEO to help Dexter. I feared he wouldn’t wake up, and Hailey couldn’t manage the company alone.” 

Flustered, she turned to Hailey; she had finally salvaged the goodwill she’d worked so hard to build in the last few days. 

“Funny, isn’t it? Trying to entangle with the CEO of All–Stars Consortium while pretending to be suicidal over lost love. Quite the actress,” Stella chimed in, twisting the knife. 

Both Hailey and Dexter looked furious. 

I gave Stella a sly smile. Stella and Robin gave me an approving thumbs up. 

“I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t keep you. Mr. Fitzgerald, if you are ill, you should seek treatment. The Langley family is not a crematory; we don’t need your weeping and wailing here,” I said firmly, checking my watch. 

I had a meeting with Finn and no time for Dexter’s regretful theatrics.
