Chapter 33 Chilling Revelations!

• Elena's heart seemed to stop as Charlotte's words hung heavily in the air. The revelation that her sister was Astrid, and her mother was Alice, struck her like a thunderclap, leaving her stunned and emotionally battered.
• It was as if the ground had shifted beneath her, and the world she thought she knew had crumbled into fragments of painful truth. The realization was a dagger to her heart, a cruel twist of fate that had kept her family's true identity hidden for far too long.
• Hurt, like a tidal wave, surged within her. It was a hurt born not only from the deception but also from the years of separation, the absence of a mother's love, and the betrayal by the evil woman she thought was her mother.
