Chapter Lens: The Shift You May Not Notice at First
This chapter alters the tone of the story in ways that feel subtle but unmistakable. A few small actions, a single
quiet decision, or a tension-filled pause becomes the reason the emotional direction changes. Something begins
to move beneath the surface—slow, steady, and intentional.
Turning Threads: Moments That Quietly Redirect the Plot
Not every story shift arrives with noise. Here, the turning points are gentle—the kind you only notice when you
look back. A reaction that lingers too long, a question left unanswered, or a truth almost spoken becomes the
hinge that redirects the chapter's course.
Emotional Echo: What Hearts Reveal Without Meaning To
The emotions in this chapter speak through tone more than words. Fear hides behind confidence, affection
shadows anger, and tension gives shape to conversations that should have been simple. These feelings echo
between the lines, guiding the scene’s pulse.
Past Weight: History Pressing Against the Present
The characters walk into this chapter carrying memories that shape every step. Old choices, forgotten promises,
or unhealed wounds influence how they react now. The past doesn’t interrupt—it quietly steers the direction of
the moment.
Changing Gravity: How Connections Bend Here
Relationships tilt in a new direction as truths slip out or are held back too strongly. Trust shifts, roles adjust, and
power quietly rearranges itself. By the end of the scene, the distance between characters is not the sas
when the chapter began.
Scene Signals: Meaning Hidden in Atmosphere
The chapter's environment carries a message of its own. A detail repeated twice, a silence that lasts a second
longer, or the tone of the setting becomes a reflection of the characters’ internal storms. The world responds
even when they don’t speak.
Hints Forward: Foreshadowing in the Soft Edges
Small details serve as markers of what is coming. A shifted expression, a hesitant step, or a gesture cut short
becomes a quiet prediction. These signs prepare the reader for challenges or revelations waiting in the next
stretch of story.
Lines That Stay: Dialogue That Leaves an Impression
Swords spoken in this chapter won't fade. These lines hold the emotional truth of the scene—capturing fear,
longing, or resolve in a way the characters rarely allow themselves to say. They becthe emotional imprint
the reader carries forward.

Now that Marie had called, his temper flared again. “Hit him! If you don’t hit him, you're at coward!”
That line made Derrick want to kill him right then.
Marie spat, “You trash!”
Hearing that, Marie flew out of bed and went after Dan, ready to strike him.
Derrick, terrified, stepped forward, “Don’t-don’t move.”
Then he snatched the phone out of Marie's hand.
Knowing she was pregnant, and that it was Dan’s baby, had made Marie furious!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe cursed Dan constantly; she even wanted to hit him...
“Ancestor, please-calm down, | beg you,” Derrick said.
At that moment Derrick was as humble as could be. There was nothing he could do; his wife was clearly carrying
his child, and she didn’t even believe him.
There was nothing harder to deal with than that.
“I'm so angry | could die, so angry,” Marie kept saying.
“Why can’t you just believethat night-"
“Stop. Don’t say another word!”
Derrick fell silent.
“Do you have skind of dirt on him?” Marie asked.
Derrick insisted he wasn’t the sort to take the fall for someone else; Marie felt he wasn't.
At least he wasn’t the sort to shoulder blfor no reason.
She had thought and thought last night; the only reason she could imagine him taking the blfor Dan was if
Dan had something on him.
Derrick stayed silent.

How could there be people so stubborn-no matter what you said, they wouldn't listen or believe you.
Marie fell quiet.
“Do you really think if I had dirt on him I'd dare act like this toward Ashen Pact?” Derrick asked.
“Oh!” Marie snapped.
So the idea that Dan had leverage over Derrick didn’t seem very likely.
“Then can you at least believe that it wasthat night?” Derrick asked.
Marie didn’t answer.
The words hung in the room; the air in the hospital room went completely still. Marie stared at Derrick in a daze.
Her stunned look made it seem like she was still searching for a reason to pin the blon Dan.
“It really was me,” Derrick said.
Marie stayed silent.
“And you don’t have tto go and beat up that Dan now,” Derrick added.
“I'm going to kill that dude!” Marie shouted.
To Marie, Dan was every bit the scumbag he deserved to be.
Even if the person that night hadn’t been Dan, she still wanted to beat him; she didn’t need a reason-she’d
always been like that.
“That scumbag you want to beat up-you don’t have tfor him right now; something’s wrong over in Falvaria,
and it’s aimed at your sister,” Derrick said.
“What did you say? Stella? What happened to her? Has she run off again?”
The moment she heard it involved Stella, Marie straightened up.
Derrick fell silent.

Seeing how tense she got over Stella made him feel unsettled. Is Stella really that important to her?
“What's going on?” Marie demanded.
“It's Reese... the one who confessed to your brother before.”
“You mean that Reese who confessed to my brother behind Stella’s back? What's she up to now?” Marie's face
darkened even more when Reese was mentioned.
Her expression was worse than when she'd wanted to beat Dan.
Reese...
Stella had always been good at picking friends-Tessa, Rianne-each of them would do anything for a friend.
But Reese had been a mistake she’d made in college.
Reese had gotten close to her and acted friendly, but it had all been for Abraham.
And Abraham-aside from Stella, who else could he tolerate?
So when Reese confessed to him, he’d kicked her out of Falvaria on the spot.
It wasn't just that she was barred from Stella’s presence; she was forbidden from staying in
Falvaria at all.
By rights, that little flshould have been snuffed out quickly. So how did it flare up again?
“Your brother said she’s been getting plastic surgery in Hamlin, reshaping her face to match Stella's,” Derrick
said.
Marie fell silent.
No way...
“According to your brother, her face already looks five or six parts like Stella's,” Derrick
continued.
“Holy-what is this even playing at?” Marie blurted.
She'd seen people with means before, but she'd never seen anything like this; were they trying to replace Stella?
Marie was steaming mad.

“The day Reese manages to make her face identical to Stella’s—that’s when their plan will be put fully into
motion.”
“So-sshell, different inside, and that would be enough to replace her?” Marie asked.
