91|Selfless Wishes

I shouldn't be selfish. I knew that. But I wanted to live a happy life without conflict with anyone. I wished Dad and Mom to be healthy and always smiling. I dreamed of Father living a long life and watching Julius grow into a man.

I hoped to still be with Farrell and have healthy, active children. I longed to remain friends with Bella, Jasmine, and Emily. Harold Bloom was a good boss, and I was happy to be the best employee every month.

I imagined that my relationship with Eleanor and Dorothy would remain good. We would have lunch together, shop for the latest collections from their favorite brands, and defend each other when Dad and Farrell picked on one of us.

However, all those dreams were shattered. Misfortune after misfortune befell me because of the great secret our family kept. One family destroyed and hurt another for the sake of inheritance. Instead of walking away, I entered this troubled family again.

Something cold suddenly slapped my face, snapping me out of my thoughts.
