Out of desperation, Hilda continued, "I know so much-so much! Just help me get out of here, and I'll tell you everything. Aveline, all those beautiful things, that life-it was supposed to be yours! Someone else has taken your place!" Aveline felt her mind whirl, her gaze shifting to Zachary.

Someone had taken her identity?

A surge of anger coursed through her.

She wasn't an orphan after all!

Hilda had always known this and never told her. She had even tried to ruin her completely!

Why? Why did Hilda treat her like this?

Seeing Aveline's emotions shift, Hilda regained her composure and said, "Get me out safely, keep those people from finding me, and I'll tell you. Otherwise, you'll never know." Aveline's face darkened.
