Even though I knew Carter couldn't see or hear me, I still whispered in his car before leaving, "Thank you, Uncle Carter,"

I didn't know why I had feared him so much before. He wasn't as cold and ruthless as the rumors claimed.

I didn't k

As Luke closed the door, I thought I heard a faint sigh. Chloe...

I froze in place.

I wanted to listen more closely, but the room had fallen silent, and no sound followed,

Determined to uncover traces of me, Luke learned Anna was staying at the Sander residence and snuck into her room.

Ever since Anna reconnected with the Sanders, she spent far less time at the Boltons.

Thinking back, she often left whenever Luke was on business trips, claiming she wanted to bond with her new family. But as soon as he returned, she'd be back at the Boltons, all attentive and sweet. She was a master of time management. Luke pushed open Anna's door.

The decor was overwhelmingly pink, filled with childish stuffed toys, as if showcasing an innocent and playful persona.

I knew better. It was all a facade.

It was my first time in Anna's bedroom at the Bolton Residence. I, too, wanted to replace clues.

To my surprise, aside from the photo frame on the nightstand featuring her and Luke, there was an enormous oil painting of the two of them hanging on the wall by the bed.

The painting nearly covered the entire wall. The last time I saw something so over-the-top was on a variety show, where a celebrity's living room was decorated with massive portraits of themselves.

Luke had never been in Anna's bedroom before. She was always the proactive one, and he avoided this

space.

His expression betrayed his discomfort. Who else but couple would hang a giant painting of themselves in their bedroom?

Shaking off his unease, Luke remembered his purpose and began searching the room.

My gaze scanned the room for suspicious spots until it landed on a large teddy bear. I knelt down to inspect it closely.

To my shock, there were cameras on the bear's eyes.

Who installs surveillance cameras in their own room?

It meant Anna was always on guard. The moment Luke stepped inside, she was likely notified on her phone.

I wanted to warn Luke to leave, but, of course, he couldn't hear me.

He opened a drawer, inding small trinkets-all gifts he'd given her.

Luke traced them with his fingers with a complicated expression.

After searching the room and replaceing nothing useful, Lake opened her massive wardrobe. To his surprise. there was black door embedded within the pink interior-a stark and suspicious contrast. I wondered what secrets lay behind it.

My pulse quickened. Could it hold the truth about my murder? Or perhaps some other piece of my body?

After everything I'd been through, I couldn't think about Anna in normal terms anymore.

Luke pressed his fingers to the door. It was a keypad lock with a fingerprint scanner. A voice prompt informed him that his fingerprint was invalid.

He paused, trying to guess the code.

Anna's birthday was incorrect.

The system warned that one more wrong attempt would lock it.

I could sense Luke's growing anxiety. He wasn't used to sneaking around like this.

Suddenly, a voice broke the tense silence, "Luke, what are you doing in my room?"

I nearly jumped out of my skin.

I turned around and noticed Anna had appeared in the doorway at some point. How long had she been standing there?

The dimly lit hallway, coupled with her shadowed figure, gave her an eerie aura despite the smile playing on her lips.

I couldn't help but feel like a failure as a ghost. Anna, who was alive, was far more terrifying.

Luke's forehead glistened with cold sweat. It was obvious that he was very nervous.

There's a hidden door in your wardrobe. What are you keeping inside

Anna stepped into the room with graceful, deliberate strides and her smile widened.

However, she looked malicious at that moment.

"Everyone has their secrets, Luke. Why are you suddenly so interested in mine?"

Standing before him, she placed a delicate hand on his chest.

Luke grabbed her wrist with force and demanded, "Does Chloe's disappearance have anything to do

you?"

Anna frowned slightly and complained, "Luke, you're hurting me."

"Cut the act! That night, you called me, claiming your life was in danger. Then Chloe disappeared. At the police station, you constantly obstructed our search for her. Anna, did you hide Chloe?" "Luke, do you really see me as such a vicious woman?" he asked as she got teary.

This time, Luke wasn't swayed by her performance.

Tell me, is Chloe behind that door?"

For the first time, he was showing some improvement, starting to suspect Anna. Everyone, even Carter, believed she had hidden me. No one suspected she had killed me.

Without my omniscient perspective. 1, too, wouldn't have guessed that behind her sweet exterior lay such a cruel and calculating heart.

"Luke. Chloe may dislike me, but we're sisters. Blood is thicker than water. Why would I harm her?"

"If it's not you, then prove it. Open the door!"

I can't. My secrets are in there"

Her evasive demeanor only deepened Luke's suspicions, but I doubted the truth would be so easily uncovered.

The fact she had cameras in her room proved her cunning demeanor. If she had anything incriminating about me, it wouldn't be here in the Boltons' estate.

Luke, however, seemed convinced. Growing impatient, he pushed her again.

"Open it Now. I'm done playing games."

Anna sighed dramatically. "Luke, I have no choice since you insist on it. You can enter yourself."

What's the code?" he demanded.

Anna grabbed his hand, guiding his finger over the keypad to press several digits.

Luke's eyes widened in shock as the numbers registered. The password was his birthday,

Beep!

Then, Anna gives him a light shove. "Go on, Luke. See for yourself."

Luke's emotions were likely as tense and expectant as nine. Though I had already guessed there wouldn't be any clues about me inside, I couldn't help but feel curious about what someone like her might be hiding. Luke pushed the door open. The scene inside the room came into view bit by bit.

I was utterly stunned.
