Hector stood there, his face still stinging from the two sharp slaps Autumn had delivered, and yet he couldn't stop himself. Words poured out of him like poison from a wound—accusation after accusation, each one more hurtful than the last. He was in a fury, completely blind to the truth, because in his mind, Autumn had crossed a line she could never come back from.
But here's the thing—he had no idea that the line *he* had crossed was far deeper, far more unforgivable.
He had come straight from work, carrying a cake and flowers for Luna. Yes, his sister—his real sister—had hurt her foot returning to the company, and instead of rushing to her side, he was rushing to the hospital for Luna. And then, when Autumn confronted him, he threw everything in her face like she was the villain.
Autumn's hand trembled, but not from fear. From fury. From years of swallowed pain finally rising like a tidal wave.
She slapped him once. Hard.
Hector froze, one hand clutching his cheek, disbelief twisting his features. "Autumn, you actually hit me, you—"
Before he could finish, her palm landed again. This time, on the other cheek. Perfectly symmetrical. Perfectly deserved.
Her eyes were blazing red now, tears threatening to spill but held back by sheer will. Her voice cracked with emotion as she shouted, "Whatever Luna says, you all believe without question. But when it comes to me, you think I'm just making excuses! You take the words of a mistress's daughter over your own sister! If Mom knew, how heartbroken would she be? Hector, look me in the eye and tell me—have you really lived up to the promises you made to Mom?"
She was shaking. Every word was a knife she had sharpened over years of neglect and betrayal. This was her brother—the same brother she had once bent over backward to please. But he had chosen Luna and her mother, had placed their lies above her truth, had made her feel like her very existence was just a bad punchline.
Hector stood frozen, hands clutching both sides of his burning face, utterly stunned that Autumn had dared to strike him. Rage boiled over, and he raised his hand, ready to hit her back.
"Autumn! I can't believe how ungrateful you've become. You actually hit your own brother? I'm going to teach you a lesson today. You've made one mistake after another, and when your brother calls you out, you still act this arrogant? You've lost all sense of decency!"
But before his hand could reach her, a male employee stepped in and caught his wrist. With a calm, steady voice, the man said, "Sir, hitting a woman is never okay. No matter what she did, you shouldn't raise your hand to her. A man's hands are meant for work—not for violence. Don't you think so?"
Hector yanked his arm free, spitting with indignation, "What do you know? She hit me first—are you blind?"
It was the first time in his life anyone had ever slapped him, and it came from his own sister. The more he thought about it, the more his anger festered. He kept telling himself that Autumn had gone too far, that she was the one in the wrong.
But then, a female florist approached with a freshly wrapped bouquet of carnations and handed it to Autumn. "Ma'am, your carnations are ready. Are these for your mother?"
Autumn took the bouquet, her voice softening. "Yes."
The florist smiled warmly. "She must be a very lucky mom."
"She passed away."
The words dropped like stones into still water. Autumn's expression dimmed instantly, the light in her eyes flickering out.
"Oh… I'm sorry."
Autumn shook her head, her voice catching just slightly. "It's alright. It's been almost three years. Her third death anniversary is coming up soon. We're planning a small farewell ceremony."
She said it loud enough for Hector to hear. Every word was a calculated, painful reminder. If he had even the slightest fragment of a heart left, he would understand what she was telling him.
And for a moment, it worked. Half of Hector's rage seemed to deflate like a punctured balloon. He reached out and grabbed her arm, his voice suddenly uncertain. "When exactly is Mom's third death anniversary?"
He might have been blind to Autumn's pain, but when it came to their mother, even he couldn't stay completely numb. He hadn't expected her to pass so suddenly. And back then, it was Luna who had insisted she hadn't traveled in years and begged them to take her on a trip.
Autumn looked at him, her eyes hollow. She knew that even now, he was only asking because of guilt, not because he truly cared. But she had said her piece. The truth was out there, floating in the air between them like a ghost that would never rest.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
Oh my heart. This chapter was a masterclass in emotional confrontation. Autumn finally standing up for herself, slapping her brother not out of anger alone but out of years of suppressed hurt—it was cathartic and heartbreaking at the same time. And that moment with the carnations? Chills. Pure chills. The way she delivered that line about her mother's anniversary, knowing Hector would hear… that was a woman who has learned to fight with words as much as with actions. Absolutely brilliant writing.
**Rating:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **5/5 Stars** — An emotionally charged and satisfying chapter that gives Autumn the agency she deserves.

**Next Chapter Prediction:**
Now that Hector knows their mother's death anniversary is approaching, I predict he'll dig into the past—maybe start questioning Luna's story about that trip. Aurora will likely use this opportunity to plant more seeds of doubt in Hector's mind, finally making him see Luna's true colors. And Autumn? She might finally find the strength to move forward without her family's approval.
