ISABELLA’S POVThe atmosphere in the boardroom grew tense the moment Robert stood up to make that statement.His cynical, rebellious voice was cutting through the air like a sharp blade.As soon as he suggested a vote to challenge my position as chairlady, I could feel that slight jump in my heart rate.I had not prepared for this, and seeing how Robert had taken advantage of the entire situation, I could not help but feel cornered.Refusing to yield to what he was asking for might end up proving him and the protesters outside the hospital right—that I was indeed a tyrant—and forcing myself on the board.But it could also lead to me losing my position as chairlady just like that and without any prior arrangement.Worse still, without the knowledge of my parents, who had appointed me in the first place.For a moment, the room fell into an unsettling silence, broken only by the faint shuffling of papers and a few muffled coughs.My gaze instinctively locked onto Robert, who stood at the

ISABELLA’S POVThe friction in the room jumped to greater heights from the moment my parents entered and from the moment those words escaped Robert’s mouth, betraying the fear in his voice.The question hung in the air, unanswered.And that made him shift even more uncomfortably on his seat, his eyes darting between myself and my parents.As they made their way in, their footsteps echoed, their unexpected appearance making every board member take on various masks of puzzled expressions.Nevertheless, they all rise in unison to receive them as a sign of respect.Robert was a little bit slower than the rest, but he finally stood, his fear and his bewilderment still etched on his face.Even James, who had been unnervingly calm since the meeting began, started to show the first signs of cracking.The impassive face he wore earlier started to twitch as he glanced at Robert, clearly unsettled by the turn of events. Meanwhile, Robert's focus remained fixed on my parents, his anxiety evident

GENERAL POVIsabella sat upright, her fingers intertwined.Now was the time to pull the veil off the elaborate performance of the past hour and reveal how every twist and turn had fallen into place. Robert had just been dragged away not too long ago; he was supposed to be gone now. She had played her part well—cool, calculated.But there was more to the smooth, well-played story, and the board deserved to know.Her eyes slid over to James once again. The theatrical or perhaps real anxiety into the had been etched in his face had begun to dissolve slowly.He stared at the at the door where Robert had been dragged through once more, then turned to her with a nod. There was something about that nod; this time it was an acknowledgment, a silent agreement between the both of them.Actually, James had been in on the whole act, too. That cold, distant expression from earlier was as much a performance as hers had been. Though she could not swear hundred percent yet.They had worked toge

GENERAL POVHis brows furrowed, and then he threw his cuffed hands up in a theatrical display of innocence.“And why would I do that? Isabella, won't you look for your rat in the right places for once? Must it always have to be anyone bearing your enemies’ surname?”The murmurs among the board grew louder, faces now turning in unison toward Isabella. Robert’s face tightened, but he pressed on, his voice lifting in an insincere plea. “How can you accuse me of all this when there’s someone else in this same hospital who had every reason to hurt you? Someone who treated you like trash, threatened vengeance, and now you wake up to point at me? Do you hate us Langstons that much?”The room fell silent, the weight of Robert’s words hanging like a fog.Even the officers stood still, watching with arms crossed.But Isabella barely flinched.“So who did it then... Dr. Langston?” She asked with a mocking shrug, her voice soft but cutting through the stillness like a blade.Robert chuckled, th

GENERAL POVThe afternoon sun started to dip down.Nathan and Owen arrived at Thompson’s hospital accompanied by about six police vans.Their father’s call had come to them not too long ago, informing them of everything going over there and the necessary action they were to take.And on their arrival, just like they had been told. There was indeed chaos waiting at its entrance.A sea of protesters swarmed outside, waving a wild array of colored placards, their chants rising and falling in a show of defiance and discontent. Their sister’s name is written boldly on a number of them.The air was thick with tension as police sirens wailed through the expansive vicinity, the convoy cutting through the crowd. The tires screeched as the vehicles came to a halt. The exhaust pipes are releasing smoke.Nathan and Owen leaped first, followed by tens of uniformed officers pouring from the vans, moving with swift precision."Clear them out." Nathan barked, his voice slicing through the noise. Hi

ISABELLA POVThe sun caressed my partially bare skin, warming me up as I lay back on the soft lounge chair.My legs were stretched out lazily, and my pink sarong clung loosely around my waist, a light breeze catching its edges, while my bikini top looked even brighter under the hovering sunlight. I could feel the weight of all the experiences that made up the past year.And this private beach was just the perfect place for that kind of reflection.It was so secluded, it felt like a dreamland, far removed from everything we had been through. There were only a few other people scattered along the sand, their voices distant, like whispers blending with the wind.I glanced toward an old couple nearby, laughing over something I couldn’t quite catch. For a brief moment, their laughter pulled me into their joy, and I found myself chuckling too before sinking back into my own thoughts.It was a surreal thing.It actually really was; it was sitting here, whole and alive. Thinking about the

ISABELLA POVThe ride into town felt like a breath of fresh air. The farther we drove, the more exhilarated I felt.Through the window, the sun added to the glow of the streets, and I let the breeze carry my thoughts away, watching as the scenery transformed gradually from open roads to bustling streets.When we finally reached the town, it was like stepping into another world; it was so lively and full of energy. The devoted vendors lined the sidewalks, their voices rising over the chatter of tourists and locals. Groups of school-aged children darted between people, laughter echoing as they played, while couples strolled hand in hand. I couldn’t help but smile, my heart swelling with the lightness of the moment.I glanced at Michael, who seemed just as absorbed in the scene as I was."This place is heaven," he murmured.I nodded so much more quickly, watching his hairy hands rest casually on the steering wheel."Yeah, I can see why you wanted this trip."In the minutes after, we p

GENERAL POVElsa paced along the length and breadth of her wide bedroom.The thud of her steps was audible on the patterned carpet beneath her feet.Her phone dangled loosely from her hand, swaying with every sharp turn she made.Her face was a red mask, contorted in a mixture of great fury and disbelief.Her brow was furrowed deeply, and her mouth pulled into a tight, thin line. Her lips twitched occasionally, as if words of frustration were threatening to spill out at any moment, but all that emerged was a low, aggravated huff.She squeezed the phone tighter, as though willing it to disappear. The room felt suffocating, her thoughts crashing violently inside her head.“How could he?”Her palms were trembling as she muttered under her breath, her voice tight with anger.“How could the old man really do this?” The words felt foreign on her tongue, like speaking them aloud made the betrayal even more real. Then suddenly she stopped moving, her chest rising and falling rapidly as sh
