Silas's smile disappeared instantly, replaced by a deep scowl. He stepped toward her, but Dexter quickly grabbed his arm, holding him back.
"Silas, don't," Dexter cautioned, his tone calm but firm.
"I need to talk to her," Silas said, his voice steely and resolute. His eyes were locked on Maya, determination written across his face.
Dexter hesitated but then nodded, slowly releasing Silas's arm. He knew there was no stopping him.
Silas approached Maya with calculative steps. "Disappointed, huh?" he scoffed. "You thought you could hide behind your lies forever. That your deceit would never be uncovered. But you forgot one thing, Maya—the truth always comes out."
Maya's face twisted in anger, but Silas didn't stop.
"You are full of lies, Maya, cheating on your husband, who has given you everything. Wealth, power, a name, love—what didn't he give you? And how did you repay him? By betraying him at every turn."
