SuzyAfter so much insistence, Laura had finally let Gammy into her house. I had a radiant smile on my face; it was almost impossible to believe that I had managed to convince her. Gammy had gotten what he wanted, so now I could get the money from this millionaire family of mine. I couldn't wait for
SuzyWhen I said goodnight to Gammy and went to my room, I couldn't help but cry like a condemned woman. I felt so bad for having pressured Laura to take her brother back. Even though she had her reasons, I behaved like a really selfish person, so even if I had my reasons too, that didn't stop me fr

Laura I had suspected Graham's justification for returning to my apartment, so I decided to wait for him in the car at a place close to the condominium where I lived. At that moment, I was talking to Gideon, who had already traveled to London and was telling me how his work was going there. He was
So now I just decided to ignore the affectionate way he called me and focused on the problem. “Is it true that Suzy is on her way to the hospital now? Roger, my bodyguard, called me and said she fell down the stairs. Is that true? How did this happen?" I asked with some urgency. He clearly had more
Laura I was still completely shocked by Graham's words. I had just found out that Suzy was my sister; all this time she was my sister, and neither I nor she knew about it. That was totally unexpected; I would never consider that hypothesis. Everything was too deep for me now; it was too huge to thi
I blinked, trying to process what he was saying. "But what if... what if I mess it all up again? I’m not perfect, Matt. I have my flaws, my scars." He smiled, a smile both gentle and confident. "No one’s perfect, Lindsay. I’m not either. But you know what? My dad, Killian... he’s not my biological
Lindsay POV We arrived at the hotel after a night that still echoed in me like a good dream. Wyatt was exhausted, which wasn’t surprising after such an eventful day at the Weiss house. He fell asleep almost immediately after I put him to bed, a slight smile on his face that made me feel that, despi

Laura POV Jason and Terence were terrible singers, but that didn't stop them from diving into karaoke, hitting every note off-key while making their wives laugh with their comedic performance. Ava and I, now alone in a VIP area of the bar, continued the celebration of our daughters' entry into col

As we walked, I thought about what Abby had said. It wasn't Caleb who mattered; it was the betrayal of a friendship I thought would last forever. The pain of losing that trust was still fresh, and perhaps that was why I didn't want to think about Caleb at all. But at the same time, there was a part
Annie POV I watched my parents' car drive away with a sense of sadness; part of me wanted to go with them and give up on everything, but I was also excited to start a new life at Oxwell. The sound of the engine fading into the distance seemed to carry away a piece of my childhood, leaving me with a
