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 ce to


    interfere. I warn you not to continue triggering her!"


    I hid behind the door and listened for a while. Only after it quieted outside did I 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.


    I hadn''t agreed to let the person in, but she entered anyway.


    It was Yasmin.


    She stood there while asking in a probing tone, "Stephany? You don’t really think you''re Stephanie


    now, do you?".


    I tilted 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!"


    Iughed. "How clever of you!"


    Yasmin looked at me in shock. "So you were pretending. You haven''t lost your memory at all."


    "Right, I''m just ying along with Michael. He wants me to be Stephanie, so I''m letting him have his


    way." I smiled as I walked up to Yasmin.


    Yasmin red at me. "Stephany, since Steven died, you''ve set your sights on Michael, right? I 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 I raised my hand to Yasmin''s neck.


    Steven wouldn''t die. He''de for me.


    Yasmin looked at me in terror. She struggled hard, but she was no match for me, T should just


    strangle her.


    I should just break her neck.


    "Ah!" The moment Michael entered the door, I released my grip. I pped myself the way Yasmin


    used to do, then covered my face while crying and shaking my head. "Mike, what... what is she


    talking about? I don''t understand. Who''s Stephany?"


    Michael''s face instantly darkened. He red 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 p.


    Meanwhile, I watched the scene with a smile on my lips.


    So this was how it felt when Yasmin used to act and watch Michaely 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.

    Michael looked back at me in a panic. "Stephie, don''t listen to her nonsense. It took me so much


    effort to get you back."


    His voice trembled, then he held me tightly in his arms.


    Did he say it took him a lot of effort to get me back?


    Howughable.


    "Stephie, I won''t let you leave me again. I won''t be fooled by her anymore. I believe you, Stephie. I


    only trust you." His voice choked up as if he really wanted to make up for all his past mistakes with


    me.


    Too bad, I found him just a nuisance now.
