Author: Cozy Season
Juan replied honestly, "I didn't plan this."

"Figured. You're not exactly the romantic type," she said, a rare smile softening her face as she continued watching the fireworks show.

It went on for a good ten minutes, and her mood shifted. "Wow, the production team really knows how to burn money."

From their courtyard, the display above looked like something out of a movie. It was stunning, almost surreal.

At first, Debra was captivated by the dazzling display, but after ten minutes, her excitement began to wane. She rubbed her ears, silently calculating how much this extravagance must have cost.

'Ten thousand, 20 thousand, 30 thousand...' she mentally counted.

By the time the fireworks finally fizzled out, nearly 15 minutes had passed. It was a solid million-dollar fireworks show. The show had gotten a bigger budget than she thought.

Juan turned to her and asked, "Did you like it?"

Debra considered it seriously before replying, "I liked it at first. Now? Not so much."

She tur

    "Barton," Andrew interrupted. "You're talking too much.""Sorry, sir." Barton winked at Debra before slipping out."Do you really pull a mean face outside?" she teased. "What's that look like? I want to see it."But Andrew stayed chill. "He's making it up. Don't buy it.""Oh? I thought you were different toward me. Guess it's the same for everyone," she said, faking a pout.She snuck a glance, hoping for a reaction. He caught her little game, smiling faintly. "You've been dying to hit that new amusement park. Still wanna go?"Her face lit up. "Didn't you say you were too busy? Did your dad finally cut you some slack? You're taking me?""Yeah," he said. "I can squeeze in some time at three this afternoon.""Three's too late.""There's a fireworks show at night. It's the best I could swing."His tone carried a hint of helplessness.As the future head of the Potter family, his plate was always full. Dylan had gotten lazier over the years, dumping everything on him. Free time wa

    Before Debra could process it, Marion marched into the fountain. The water drenched him, clinging to his shirt and showing off every muscle."Forgive me, please," he bellowed.Debra froze, then cracked up after three seconds. Her laughter echoed through the Potter Mansion....The next morning, she barged into Andrew's study, buzzing with excitement."I thought he'd hit me, but he went into the fountain and begged for my forgiveness. You didn't see his face. It was hilarious."Andrew sat at his desk, watching her bounce around. He smiled, "Messing with Marion? You're a first in Seamar City.""All thanks to you." She flopped onto the sofa. "Too bad it's a one-time deal."Her face fell a little. Then she perked up. "You think he'll come after me later?""He won't.""You know him well?""Not really.""Then how do you know he won't? He's got that mean mug, always poker-faced. I doubt any girl would like a guy like that." She grinned at Andrew. "You, on the other hand, are alway

    Night deepened.Marion showed up at Andrew's study, but he wasn't there.Marion frowned. When the door clicked shut behind him, he sensed something off and turned to leave. Then he saw Debra blocking the doorway."It's you." His frown deepened. "Move.""Andrew told me to wait for you here," she said, smiling with her hands behind her back."Tell him to come out," he demanded."That won't work. He said tonight you're mine to mess with, however I want.""I don't hit women. Step aside."He stepped forward, but Debra didn't flinch this time.She whipped out a photo and shoved it in his face. "Take a good look. I've got backups. Leave, and this hits every website tomorrow."It was Marion as a kid, dressed up like a girl by Itzel. He looked like a doll, with Itzel flashing a peace sign beside him.Everyone in Seamar City knew how badly she had wanted a daughter. Dwayne had cooked up this dumb idea to make her happy. Marion thought that the photo was locked in the family safe.His

    Andrew gently looked at her.Debra tilted her head. "Did I get something on my face?""Hold tight to what you love. Don't let it slip away," he said, ruffling her hair.She grabbed his hand mid-ruffle, firm and sudden. "I'm doing it right now.""Silly girl," he chuckled.He squeezed her hand back, then let go. "I meant the bracelet.""I meant you," she giggled. "Jordan said yesterday I acted like the Potter Mansion is mine even though I'm not married yet. But I grew up here. To me, this is home. Besides my parents, you're the most important person in my life. I'm keeping you close and will never let go.""You'll meet lots of people in life," he said. "Someday, someone else might matter more.""Sure, I'll meet tons of people. But there's only one you. You're the most important to me."Her eyes shone with certainty. For a split second, Andrew wavered."What do you think of Marion?" he asked, looking away."He sucks. Picked on me right off the bat. I hate him," she huffed.She

    Sunlight streamed into the study, warming every corner.Andrew sat in his chair, dressed in a crisp white shirt. He flipped through a book casually until Debra burst in."Where were you last night?" she demanded, plopping onto the sofa. "You won't believe how awful Marion was. Dwayne and Yvette are so nice. How did they end up with a jerk like him? If you'd been there, you'd have had my back."Andrew didn't say a word. Debra whipped her head around to glare at him. "I got picked on. Why aren't you reacting?""I'm listening," he said, closing his book with a faint smile. "Sounds like you don't like him.""Yep. He is my least favorite person on Earth." She puffed up, fuming. "Even my parents never treated me like that. Who does he think he is?""Our princess is getting feistier every day," Andrew teased, tapping the bell on his desk.Barton came in with tea, setting it in front of Debra."Thanks, Barton," she said."No problem." He left the cup and stepped out.Andrew said, "If

    Itzel turned to Debra, wrapping an arm around her. "Marion just got back from abroad. He didn't mean to pick on you. I'm sorry on his behalf. Let's head in. It's too cold out here. You don't wanna get sick."Debra nodded and followed her inside.In the hall, Gael glared at Dwayne. "Did you send your son to bully my girl?""No way," Dwayne replied, raising a glass of wine with a gentlemanly smile. "I watched Debra grow up. Chill. I'll give him a talking-to later and make it up to her."Lori forced a smile.That would be a sight. Marion looked sturdy, but she wasn't sure if he could take a hit.Debra showered off. Her perfect makeup was gone, and her dress was soaked.Jordan waited outside her room. When she stepped out in a dress Itzel lent her, her nose and eyes were red from crying.She had always been treasured and had never been treated like this.Jordan sighed, "Stop crying. You look awful.""I know," Debra wailed, then sniffled. "If I hadn't gone to find you, I wouldn't

    "Me?" Debra pointed at herself, glancing around.No one else was there. This guy was talking to her."Why are you at my house?""Your house?"Before she could figure out what was going on, Marion took a step toward her.His expression was cold, almost fierce.Debra instinctively backed up, but he took another step closer."Hold it. Don't come any closer." Her voice shook as her heels hit the stone ledge by the fountain.One more step, and she'd tumble in.Marion acted like he didn't hear her. He kept moving forward.Debra scrambled onto the ledge, pointing at him. "I said, don't... Ahh."She hit the water. The fountain soaked her through, wrecking her makeup and hair. Her face darkened."Debra." Jordan raced over, seeing her drenched and sprawled in the fountain.Marion stepped forward, offering her a hand.Debra swallowed her anger, thinking she'd give him a piece of her mind once she was up. But the second she grabbed his hand, he yanked it back.She fell again, harder

    In her bedroom, a dark green dress sat in a gift box.Debra pulled it out, held it up to the mirror, and muttered, "It's just a family dinner. Why is everyone so serious?"Still, for Gael's sake, she changed into it.A bit later, she checked herself out in the mirror. Same pretty face as always.But even though it was her reflection, she felt like another version of herself was hiding inside, like it was trying to tell her she needed to figure out something.She touched the mirror and whispered, "I don't know who you are, but this is my home. My parents are here. I have people who I love and who love me. I don't like your memories. But growing up, Andrew and my parents taught me to help others. If you've got some unfinished business, I can help. Just don't hurt my family, okay?"Something was off today. She could feel another person inside her, and that person's memories had messed with her actions.Ghosts were the only explanation she could think of. She just hoped it was a kin

    Debra froze, staring at the man.The driver walked over and handed her a black card. "Miss, this is a little something from my boss. Really sorry about this."He shoved it into her hand and got back in the car, giving her no chance to refuse."What, money makes him king? Like I don't have cash too," Jordan griped, noticing Debra's distraction. "Did that crash knock you out? Why aren't you talking? Need a hospital?"Debra glanced at the card in her hand."I feel like I've seen him somewhere.""What? I think your brain's fried. When we get back, I'll have William check you out."Jordan muttered about bad luck as he opened the car door and nudged her in. If he didn't have stuff to do today, he'd have taught that punk a lesson.For the rest of the journey, Debra stared at the card, dead quiet.Jordan noticed her usual silence and took it as an aftershock of the crash."You sure you don't need a doctor?""I'm good."Jordan poked his head out the window."I'll wait here. We'll p
