Rubyโs world is crumbling as secrets from the past threaten to destroy everything she holds dear. She finally comes clean to Steph, revealing shocking truths that could change their lives forever.
Steph has always known something wasnโt right. Her familyโs stories never quite added up, and now sheโs determined to uncover the real truth about her grandfatherโs death. She confronts Ruby, pressing her for answers, refusing to be misled any longer. Ruby, wracked with guilt, tries to evade the inevitable, but Steph is relentless. She knows her mother has been hiding something, and sheโs not leaving without answers.
As tensions rise, Ruby finally breaks. She reveals the painful truthโher father, Stephโs grandfather, was not the man Steph believed him to be. He was an abuser, someone who had tormented Ruby in ways too horrific to comprehend. The truth spills out in waves of pain and regret. Ruby had kept this secret for decades, hoping to shield Steph from the darkness of their familyโs past. But now, the burden is too heavy to bear.
Steph listens in stunned silence as Ruby confesses the ultimate sinโher fatherโs death was no accident. Ruby was responsible. She had tried to scare him, to make him understand the pain he had inflicted, but things spiraled out of control. In a moment of uncontainable rage, she pulled the trigger. It wasnโt meant to happen that way, but it did. And now, the truth threatens to tear them apart.
Overcome with emotion, Steph reels from the revelation. The man she once trusted, the grandfather she adored, had been a monster. But that doesnโt make the truth any easier to accept. She looks at Ruby, struggling to process everything. โYou killed him,โ she whispers, her voice barely audible.
Ruby pleads for understanding, insisting she did what she had to do. But Steph is in shock. The betrayal, the lies, the horrifying reality of it allโitโs too much. โYou mean nothing to me now,โ she says coldly. โEither you turn yourself in, or I will.โ
Ruby knows the choice has been made for her. She canโt let her daughter carry this burden. Sheโs ready to face the consequences, even if it means losing everything. Just as she prepares to turn herself in, Caleb steps in with another shocking revelationโhe was involved, too. He confesses that he had known about everything and had tried to protect Ruby, but in doing so, he had only made things worse.
Steph is overwhelmed. Everything she thought she knew was a lie. The family she trusted had been keeping dark secrets, ones that could never be undone. As Ruby prepares to face justice, she pleads with Steph to understandโeverything she did was to protect her.
But for Steph, the damage is done. Her entire world has shattered, and nothing will ever be the same again.
Will Rubyโs confession bring closure, or will it only deepen the wounds? And as Steph struggles with the truth, will she ever be able to forgive the mother who tried so desperately to protect her?
