Selene stood with her arms crossed, trying to maintain her composure as the twins stared her down.
The weight of their suspicion made her shift uncomfortably, but she forced a casual tone into her voice.
"I heard the rumor. About father. But I doubt he'd just go missing. He's not that type of man."
She said.
Noah's eyes narrowed slightly. Nora didn't even try to hide her doubt.
"You're sure about that? Confident enough to act like you know the truth? Did you meet him, Selene?"
Nora asked.
Selene's breath caught for a second. She hesitated—long enough for them to notice.
Nora stepped forward.
"You did, didn't you?"
Selene looked away.
"I saw him. But that's all I'll say."
She finally admitted.
The air in the room turned tense. The twins' expressions twisted into something bitter.
Noah clenched his fists, but it was Nora who moved first, reaching out like she wanted to grab Selene by the arm.
