BuzzNovelKaren and Brendan were just about to speak when Alessia shook her head at them. She stepped inside,
hesitated, then closed the door and walked over to Ileana.
“Is it really okay for Lessie to handle this alone?”
“Lessie must have her reasons. We just need to trust her,” Brendan said, giving her shoulder a reassuring pat.
“I bought a bunch of Lessie’s favorite things to make for dinner. She’s had a rough couple of days-let’s cook up
something special to cheer her up.”
Karen nodded, worry etched across her face as she headed to the kitchen. Suddenly, she paused, turned, and
caught Brendan's hand.
“By the way, when did you run into Lessie? | hope | didn’t let her down today,” Karen said, still haunted by the
thought of disappointing Alessia earlier.
Brendan smiled, ruffling her hair. Even after decades of marriage, their relationship was as steady and
affectionate as ever.
“Don’t worry. When | got home, Lessie was already sitting in the corner, but she seemed completely fine. And we
heard everything you said afterward-you did great! Honestly, | never expected you to lay things out like that.”
Relieved, Karen playfully slapped Brendan's chest.
“If I couldn't learn from the past by now, I'd have wasted half my life.”
Brendan leaned down to kiss her. “Con, let's make something good for our girl.”

by tonight so we can talk things over.”
Karen nodded, and the two slipped easily into their usual routine-one making phone calls, the other washing
vegetables-working together in perfect harmony.
When it cto Alessia, their trust was absolute. Ileana wasn’t carrying anything dangerous, and security had
already been called. Since Alessia wanted to handle things herself, as parents, they decided to step back and let
her.
Outside, Alessia and Ileana faced off on either side of the door.
“Alessia!” lleana’s voice was thick with resentment.
“lleana, you really are something-destroying yourself while dragging everyone else

down with you,” Alessia said, eyeing lleana’s pitiful state with a strange sense of
admiration.
After everything Ileana had done, she never once looked inward; it was always someone else’s fault. She was the
living embodiment of ‘blanyone but yourself!”
“It’s you! What did you tell my parents?” lleana yelled, clutching the iron gate and shaking it so hard it rattled.

Ileana stiffened. “No, this is all your fault! If it weren't for you, the Tates and the Mortons would both be mine!”
“Greed will swallow you whole,” Alessia said, shaking her head at Ileana’s delusions. “You're beyond saving.”
She held up her phone. “I've already called the police. I've gathered all the evidence about your activities here
and sent it off. Good luck.”
