“Grandma, what did you just call her?” a voice demanded from the doorway.

Neil’s face tightened, his stare cold and unyielding. From the open door, he had just heard his grandmother’s voice speaking a name he hadn’t expected. Now, he stood silently, waiting for Hades—or rather, Katelyn—for answers.

Carol’s expression shifted, a flicker of concern crossing her face. She didn’t understand why Katelyn needed to keep her identity as Hades a secret, but she knew it wasn’t supposed to come out like this.

With a slight frown, Carol turned to Neil. “Couldn’t you have knocked?” she asked, a hint of annoyance in her voice.

Neil’s jaw clenched as he replied, his voice low and steady. “The door was open, and I heard everything from outside. Grandma, you haven’t answered my question. Is Hades really Katelyn?”

The suspicion in his mind had been growing for some time. He clearly remembered that during Katelyn’s coma, Hades—supposedly her close friend—hadn’t shown up even once. Her absence had been glaring, too strange to ignore. And now, with Katelyn awake, Hades had conveniently reappeared.

This fact alone pointed to one possibility. If Katelyn and Hades were the same person, everything would finally make sense.

Katelyn met Neil’s icy gaze with a cold, unflinching look of her own. Her words dripped with sarcasm. “Since when did my life become your business?”

Why was he so obsessed with uncovering who Hades truly was? To Neil, it felt like he had pieced together the final part of a puzzle, exposing her carefully guarded secret.

“If you’re Hades, then you’ve lied to me twice,” he said, his tone icy and his gaze unwavering.

The first lie had been as Iris, the mysterious designer; the second, as Hades, the healer everyone admired. How many more truths was Katelyn hiding from him? How many layers were left to uncover?

They’d been married for three years, yet he barely knew who she was.

Katelyn met his gaze with a sharp, mocking smile, clearly amused. “You mean nothing to me. Why would I waste my time answering your questions? Don’t you think you’re being a bit foolish?”

Neil’s hands clenched into tight fists, anger flashing in his eyes. He was the CEO of Wheeler Group, a man of power and influence, someone others fawned over. But in Katelyn’s eyes, he was nothing more than a joke.

His voice grew cold. “You can deny it all you want. It won’t change a thing. I’ll figure it out, eventually.”

Katelyn smirked, tapping her finger to her temple. “Maybe you should have yourself checked. There’s definitely something off with the way you think.” Fresh chapters posted on find?novel.net

Carol cleared her throat, her voice a little strained. “Neil, if there’s nothing more, please leave. Dr. Hades and I have things to discuss.”
