Since that night when he distanced himself from her, the silence of the mansion surrounded Rehana as if the walls themselves were watching her every step. She hadn't spoken to Maria about the strange feeling inside her, yet she couldn't ignore the tension lingering in every corner of the place.
A few days passed, spent between Mateo's laughter and her moments of quiet reflection. Yet, every time she saw Leonardo passing through the hallways, she noticed a mysterious spark in his eyes—she couldn't tell whether it was anger or a hidden pain.
On a cold evening, one of Leonardo's men entered the salon with determined steps, followed by the family's trusted doctor. He carried a thick file, his expression tense.
He stopped in front of Leonardo and said:
— "Mr. Leonardo… I found something unusual in the medical reports of your first wife… Elena."
Leonardo's heart skipped a beat. He turned to the doctor, his eyes a mix of astonishment and suspicion.
The doctor continued in a low but firm voice:
— "On the day of her death, the medical devices recorded that her heart was still beating for a short period after childbirth. Yet, her death was immediately recorded in the official report without any further details… It seems unnatural."
A chill ran through Rehana's body. She looked at Leonardo and saw his stern face turn into a heavy silence, as if every part of him had frozen in shock.
— "What does this mean?" he asked softly, yet his voice was loaded with suppressed anger.
The doctor replied:
— "I mean there's a possibility that her death wasn't natural… and that some details were deliberately hidden."
A long silence followed. Rehana placed her hand over her chest, realizing that something significant was about to be revealed.
A silent night held a secret yet to be uncovered, and the name Elena whispered like a shadow in the ears of everyone in the mansion: she hadn't died as everyone believed… and perhaps she would return to reveal everything.
Leonardo closed his eyes for a moment, took a deep breath, then looked around the room with heavy steps. A sense of suspicion began to creep into his heart, though he didn't know where to begin.
Rehana felt that this night was far from over, that Elena's greatest secret hadn't yet emerged… and that what was coming would change everything.
Do you think Elena is still alive?
And if she is, what will happen to Rehana, and will Leonardo's feelings change?
What do you think?
❓Could Elena still be alive…?
❓Or did she truly die in a dark conspiracy hidden for years?
❓And what will become of Raihana if Elena's shadow really returns to claim her place?
