Wings of Broken Time by Alina Das 369
Vivica knew how much her son adored his adopted sister. To hear him say this the moment he woke up was startling.
“Leopold, Honora barely slept, staying by your side at the hospital day and night. How can you say we were deceived by her?”
Her anger flared again as she glared at Larissa. “You wretched girl! What did you do to him just now? There was something wrong with that silver needle!”
Larissa sneered. “Vivica, didn’t your son just tell you to be quiet? Or are you deaf?”
“You-!” Vivica sputtered.
Leopold, growing desperate, yelled with all his might, “Mom, I told you it has nothing to do with my sister! Can you please just shut up for a minute! This is all because of that evil woman, Honora!”
The term “evil woman” stunned Finley. Leopold detested Honora that much?
Startled by her son’s outburst and fearing for his fragile state, Vivica quickly backed down. “Okay, okay, I won’t say another word.”
Honora’s fingers dug into her palms. She decided to get ahead of the story, her eyes filling with tears.
“Leopold, I know what you’re going to say,” she choked out. “And yes… I admit it. I deceived you all.”
She bowed deeply to Paxton, Vivica, and Finley.
“Dad, Mom, Finley, I’m so sorry. When you said you were bringing Larissa back, I was terrified. I know you loved me, but I wasn’t your real daughter. I was so scared that one day you would abandon me, so I… I hired someone to…”
Finley already knew the rest. “Honora, you hired someone to assault my sister, didn’t you?”
Honora’s face was a mask of remorse. “Finley, I regretted it later! I’m so thankful nothing happened to Larissa, otherwise my conscience would have tormented me for the rest of my life.”
Larissa scoffed. “Nothing happened to me because I was capable of defending myself. If I wasn’t, I would have been defiled by a fugitive and videotaped. You would have used that video to blackmail me, ensuring I could never threaten your position in this family.”
The truth hit Finley like a physical blow. He staggered back, his gaze fixed on Larissa’s cold, impassive face. His heart clenched.
Larissa had told him what Honora did, but he hadn’t believed her. He couldn’t imagine the sweet, innocent girl he had doted on for years could be so cruel.
How could his sister not resent them for that?
Paxton, however, couldn’t care less about what his adopted daughter had done to his biological one. To him, this was just a petty squabble for affection. All he cared about now was their family’s future. Would they truly be left with nothing?
The only person who could reverse their fate was Larissa. Therefore, they had to win her forgiveness.

Chapter 369
Swallowing his pride, Paxton turned on Honora, his voice thunderous. “Honoral So you did this to my daughter behind our backs? Kneel
Without a moment’s hesitation, Honora dropped to her knees, tears streaming down her face. “Dad, Mom, Finley, Leopold, I’m so sorry. I truly know I was wrong.”
“Honora,” Paxton spat, “your mother and I always thought you were a kind, gentle girl. We never imagined you were capable of such despicable things! You’ve disappointed us beyond words!”
