Her voice was choked, and she whispered softly, “Mike.” Michael was somewhat annoyed. He warned Rachel, “This is my business and it’s not your place to interfere. | warn you not to continue triggering her!” | hid behind the door and listened for a while. Only after it quieted outside did | walk to the window to watch Rachel and Zion leave.
Michael was right about one thing. The Lincolns were unsafe, and for now, it was safer here.
There was a knock on the door.
| hadn't agreed to let the person in, but she entered anyway.

She stood there while asking in a probing tone, “Stephany? You don’t really think you're Stephanie now, do you?“ iluted my head. “What are you talking about? Who's Stephany? I'm Stephanie.” Yasmin'’s face darkened and she clenched her fists tightly. “Stephany, stop pretending! You're not Stephanie! Peter's hypnotic therapy won't work on you because you're not her! You're just pretending in front of Michael!” | laughed. “How clever of you!” Yasmin looked atin shock. “So you were pretending. You haven't lost your memory at all.
“Right, I'm just playing along with Michael. He wantsto be Stephanie, so I'm letting him have his way.” | smiled as | walked up to Yasmin.
Yasmin glared at me. “Stephany, since Steven died, A x set your sights on Michael, right? | won't let you get away with this. I'll protect Michael.” “Are you so devoted? I'd like to see how you protect him. Steven won't die. If he does, I'll make sure all of you die with him.” My lips curled up, and | raised my hand to Yasmin’s neck.
Steven wouldn't die. He'd cfor me.
Yasmin looked atin terror. She struggled hard, but she was no match for me.

| should just break her neck.
“Ah!” The moment Michael entered the door, | released my grip. | slapped myself the way Yasmin used to do, then covered my face while crying and shaking my head. “Mike, what... what is she talking about? | don’t understand. Who's Stephany?” Michael's face instantly darkened. He glared at Yasmin. “Yasmin!” Yasmin covered her neck and looked at Michael in panic.
“Mike, she’s pretending! She's Stephany! She...” “Shut up!” Michael actually gave Yasmin a slap.

So this was how it felt when Yasmin used to act and watch Michael lay his hands on me.
Was this considered karma? Michael, did you just hit me?!” Yasmin covered her cheek. She didn’t seem to expect Michael to hit her for my sake. Crying, she turned and ran away.
Michal locked back atin a panic. “Stephie, don’t listen to her nonsense. It tookso much effort to get you back.” His voice trembled, then he heldtightly in his arms.
Did he say it took him a lot of effort to getback? How laughable.
“Stephie, | won't let you leaveagain. | won't be fooled by her anymore. | believe you, Stephie. | only trust you.” His voice choked up as if he really wanted to make up for all his past mistakes with me.
Too bad, | found him just a nuisance now.
