SOPHIA'S POV
I sat nervously in the car, my hands fidgeting. Olivia put her hand on mine to still my movements. She smiled and I nodded.
I stopped shaking and sighed.
“Nervous?” She asked, and I forced a smile.
It was really a difficult decision to have an abortion, but I wasn't backing away now. Not when I was booking an appointment at the hospital to make it happen.
Olivia was thankfully by my side, offering words of encouragement. "You're doing the right thing, Sophia." She focused her eyes back on the road as she drove.
I was feeling a mix of emotions. I was grateful for Olivia's su

ALEX'S POVAs I walked out of my house, my wife Rhonda's words echoed in my mind. "Don't overexert yourself, Alex. If you feel even the slightest discomfort, come back home immediately." She had been repeating this every day since I returned to work, but I was determined to complete my current project despite my health concerns."Hey, I'll be fine," I had replied her, trying to reassure her. "I just need to wrap up this project, and then I'll take a break, I promise." I could see the worry in her eyes, but I knew she understood my dedication to my work.Rhonda raised an eyebrow. "You've been saying that for weeks, Alex. You need to prioritize your health. You're not getting any younger, and with your history of heart attacks...I just don't want anything to happen to you."

SOPHIA'S POVI had become very familiar with the feeling of walking into the Barnes. The familiar sounds and smells enveloped me. When Olivia had first brought me to the place, I loved it instantly and having her as a staff there, gave me reasons to come by every day.The dim lighting and cozy atmosphere made me feel like I was in a different world, one where my troubles didn't exist. Olivia was there, polishing a glass with a white cloth, she smiled brightly as soon as she caught my eye. I slid onto a stool, and order a beer.She shook her head at me and I rolled my eyes.

I quickly showered and dressed, grabbing a cup of coffee on my way to the conference room.As I entered, I saw the entire staff of Addams Corporation already seated and waiting. Dad stood at the front, his expression serious. "Good morning, everyone," he began. "I appreciate you all coming in early on short notice.

LANDON'S POVI sat at the bar, nursing a drink and lost in thought. I came to The Barnes at least three times a week, it was my go-to spot to unwind after a long day. I kept coming even when Olivia was back at school and definitely try to come around now that she was back. As I gazed into my glass, I heard the door swing open and a familiar voice called out to the young bartender.I turned to see Alex walking towards the bar, his eyes scanning the room until they landed on me. A look of surprise crossed his face, and he changed direction, making his way towards me instead of the end of the bar."Landon! I didn't know you came here," Alex said, taking a seat next to me.I raised an eyebrow, intrigued by his surprise.

The guy next to me, a burly man with a thick beard, kept trying to strike up a conversation."Hey, what's your story, friend?" he asked, eyeing me with a mixture of curiosity and suspicion.I've been wrongly accused and imprisoned, torn away from my loved ones and forced to endure the harsh realities of life behind bars.It was hard to want to relate with others.I shrugged, not wanting to get into it. "Just a mistake, man. I didn't do what they say I did."He chuckled, a deep rumble that made me want to roll my eyes.

DANTE'S POVI sat at my desk, staring at the stack of papers in front of me.

"We can't just sit here and do nothing."I nodded in agreement. "I know. But what can we do? We've hit a dead end."Landon sighed. "We need to involve the police. It's the only way we can clear Alex's name and catch the real culprit."I nodded, knowing he was right. "Let's go talk to Rhonda first.

LINDA'S POVI sat in the prison visitation room, trying to make small talk with my parents. My dad was being his usual jovial self, but my mom seemed off."Hey, kiddo, how's life behind bars?" my dad asked, chuckling.I laughed. "It's not so bad. I've got my books and my thoughts."My mom sighed. "Linda, this isn't funny. You're in prison."I rolled my eyes. "Come on, Mom. Don't be so serious. I'm fine."My dad jumped in, trying to lighten the mood. "Hey, at least the Addams family is getting a taste of their own medicine.

RHONDA'S POVI walked into the living room, where Olivia was sitting on the couch, staring blankly at the TV. My mind immediately flashed back to what I had seen and the suspicion I had been having.I couldn't help but think back to when we first moved into this house. Olivia had seen Dante's picture on the mantle and had blushed, telling me that he was her crush in high school. I had thought nothing of it at the time, assuming it was just a harmless teenage infatuation.But now, seeing the way Olivia and Dante interacted, I couldn't help but wonder if there was more to it. I didn't want to believe it, though. They were step-siblings, after all. It was unlikely that they would develop romantic feelings for each other
