Seraphina sat there, her mind torn between doubt and desire, as her father Ethan's words swirled through the air like a venomous serpent. His eyes gleamed with something dark and calculating—something that made Seraphina's heart beat faster with both fear and forbidden hope.
"Of course. I've never lied to you," Ethan assured her with practiced smoothness.
Seraphina's voice trembled with raw emotion. "Tell me then. I'm going crazy from not seeing Stefan for so long..."
A devious smile crept across Ethan's face. "Well, we can't reach Stefan since he's so powerful... but doesn't that mean we'll have a chance if he falls off his pedestal?" His eyes sparkled with sinister intent as he laid out his wicked plan.
Confusion knitted Seraphina's brows. "What do you mean?"
Ethan leaned forward, savoring the moment like a predator circling its prey. "Well, his family only managed to get out of their previous crisis because we invested in their company. But once Stefan recovered, that ungrateful boy started pushing you away. We need to ruin him so he'll need support, and at that point, we'll appear to help him. Wouldn't it be easy for you to be with him then?"
The chilling logic of his words hung in the air between them. In this cruel world, only the mighty could choose their fate—the weak were simply pawns to be manipulated and discarded. Ethan found his own daughter foolish for helping Stefan weather his storms, only to be kicked aside the moment he regained his footing. A stepping stone, thrown away without a second thought.
"I... I don't know if it'll work..." Seraphina's voice wavered. Yet even as doubt gnawed at her, she couldn't deny the reasonableness of her father's suggestion. After all, Stefan had gotten engaged to her during Hunt Enterprise's financial crisis. That had been the closest she'd ever come to truly having him.
Sure, Stefan had given up on that engagement because of Renee, but Seraphina had still managed to stay by his side for a long time after—when he'd suffered a great blow and desperately needed support. Her twisted mind began to wander... if Stefan were left with nothing one day, stripped of his power and influence, would he finally look at her with different eyes?
Ethan saw the hesitation on his daughter's face, and his confidence swelled. "Just listen to me, Seraphina. You must ruin a person first if you want to get him."
"But Stefan is so strong. How can we ruin him? I'm afraid he'll ruin me first..." The fear in her voice was genuine. She knew Stefan Hunt was no ordinary man—he walked through the business world like a titan, and those who crossed him often disappeared into obscurity.
"Don't worry about that because I've already found a partner. All you need to do is say yes," Ethan replied, his voice dripping with calculated assurance.
The weight of the decision pressed down on Seraphina's shoulders. She closed her eyes, gritting her teeth against the storm of emotions raging inside her. Love, jealousy, desperation—they all warred within her soul. Perhaps her father was right. Perhaps the only way to truly possess someone was to first strip away everything they had.
"Well... let's go with your plan then." Her voice was barely a whisper as she surrendered to the dark path before her.

Meanwhile, far away from this nest of vipers, the late hour had draped Everheart Manor in a blanket of shadow and silence. The grandfather clock in the hallway chimed mournfully as Margaret finally returned home with Adie in tow.
But Renee could not sleep.
She sat in the living room, lost in a fog of worry and helplessness, sighs escaping her lips one after another. Her world had become a blur of darkness since she lost her sight, and tonight that darkness felt even more suffocating. Where had Margaret gone? What news would she bring? The questions circled endlessly in Renee's mind like caged birds.
Abby, sweet Abby, refused to leave her mother's side. The little girl's heart ached seeing her mother so distressed, and she had stayed up late to keep Renee company, determined not to let her face her fears alone.
"Are you scared because you can't see, Mommy? Do you want anything to eat or drink?" Abby poured a glass of water for Renee and gently pressed snacks into her mother's hands, her small gestures of love shining through the darkness.
Renee's heart softened at her daughter's tenderness. "Thank you, Abby, but I'm not hungry or thirsty. Isn't it late? Why don't you go to bed first?" She stretched out her arms, reaching for her daughter, and pulled her into a warm embrace.
Abby stared up at Renee, who wore those mysterious sunglasses even indoors now. Tears welled up in the little girl's innocent eyes, glistening under the dim lights of the living room.
"Will your eyes get better, Mommy? What will we do if you can't see me anymore?"
The raw vulnerability in her daughter's voice pierced Renee's heart. A mother's greatest fear is not being able to watch her children grow—to see their smiles, their tears, their every precious moment.
"Don't worry, I'll get better. Plus, you and Adie can be my eyes if I can't recover, right? Isn't that great? Are you willing to be my eyes, Abby?"
Renee's voice was gentle, full of maternal warmth even in her darkest hour. She tried to turn her own pain into a moment of connection with her child—trying to transform her weakness into something beautiful that might bring her children closer together.
In that quiet moment between mother and daughter, amid the shadows of Everheart Manor, the love between them burned brighter than any conspiracy hatched in the cold, calculating halls of her enemies. While Seraphina plotted to tear Stefan down and claim him in his wreckage, Renee built an unbreakable bond with her children that no force on earth could ever sever.
The contrast could not have been more stark or more poignant.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
Oh my heart! This chapter was a masterclass in emotional contrast. On one side, we have the chilling, calculating scheme of Ethan and Seraphina—a father who would corrupt his own daughter's soul to satisfy her obsession, and a woman so blinded by love that she would destroy the very man she claims to adore. On the other side, we have Renee in her vulnerability, with her sight stolen yet her spirit intact, finding beauty in her children's devotion even when surrounded by darkness.
Ethan's cold philosophy—"you must ruin a person first if you want to get him"—is absolutely bone-chilling to read. And Seraphina's surrender to that dark logic speaks volumes about her character. She doesn't truly love Stefan; she wants to own him, to possess him, to control him. That's not love; that's obsession wearing love's mask.
The scene with Abby brought tears to my eyes. The way this innocent child stays up late, offering snacks and water, asking if she can be her mother's eyes—it's the purest form of love. Where Seraphina's love is corrupt and destructive, Abby's love is healing and selfless. Renee may have lost her sight, but she can clearly see what truly matters in life.
The juxtaposition of these two scenes is brilliant storytelling. It reminds us that while some people scheme to break others down, true strength lies in lifting those we love. Renee's quiet resilience in the face of blindness and her ability to comfort her worried daughter show us exactly why she is so loved by those around her.
I must say, this chapter sets up a terrifying conflict ahead. If Seraphina and Ethan's plan succeeds, Stefan could face another catastrophic downfall—but this time, will Renee be there to save him again? And what will Margaret's late-night return have revealed? The suspense is absolutely killing me!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
Based on Margaret's late return with Adie, I predict that the next chapter will finally reveal what they discovered during their secret outing. Will Margaret have found clues about Renee's condition or perhaps evidence about who orchestrated the attack on her eyes? Meanwhile, with Ethan revealing he's already found an external partner to help ruin Stefan, we're likely looking at a major financial attack against Hunt Enterprise. The shadowy ally backing Ethan and Seraphina could be a familiar enemy from Stefan's past—perhaps someone who has been waiting for the perfect moment to strike. With Renee unable to see and Stefan possibly walking into a trap, our hero and heroine are about to face their biggest challenge yet. Will Renee's blindness prevent her from sensing the danger closing in on the man she still loves? And more importantly, will Stefan even allow her to help him when he learns of the threat?
