The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2628

Olivia nodded somberly, the weight of her words as heavy as the air in the room. "I know I don't have enough proof right now, but I've lived with her for years. Sooner or later, she'll slip up; she'll leave a trail."

Balfour found the whole thing absurd. To commit fratricide for what she deemed love was beyond his comprehension! Yet as Olivia laid out the evidence before him, those peculiar details from the past began to resurface in his mind.

"That's why I need to tell you, Balfour, she's dangerous, incredibly so. Ivy's kidnapping had to be her doing. I even suspect that Alyssa's fall down the stairs wasn't an accident at all!"

Balfour closed his eyes briefly.

From the moment Olivia decided to lay it all out, she knew where her loyalties lay. Choosing between Balfour and Mara was a no-brainer for anyone with half a brain.

After making arrangements, Balfour left the house in a rush, quickly getting into his car and driving back to the hospital. He couldn't stop worrying about Ivy. If Mara was as vengeful as Olivia described, he was certain she would come back to finish what she started.

He couldn't fathom what he had done to earn Mara's twisted affection. He barely remembered any connection between them, besides Victoria. To think he had been friends with a murderer for so long, Balfour could not forgive himself.

Upon arriving at the hospital, before he could even enter Ivy's room, he heard the good news that Alyssa had awakened!

His heart lifted at the sight of two guards stationed by Ivy’s room, a sign that she was safe.

Now, his priority was to find evidence against Mara, to bring her to justice and make her face the consequences of her actions.

Alyssa was frail but managed a pale smile when she saw Balfour rush to her side, reassuring him with her eyes.
