GrahamHe stood for a moment on top of the steps, looking at Suzy's motionless body on the floor after she had rolled down the stairs moments ago, a pool of blood slowly beginning to spread beneath her. Graham grunted in disgust and walked down the stairs slowly. What the fuck… that definitely shoul
GrahamThat moment was perfect for him to finish the job. There was so little left; he was just going to go up to the girl's room and... But his cell phone rang immediately, and he grimaced when he saw that it was Laura. “Hi, my adorable little sister,” he said as soon as he answered.“Is it true th
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
LauraThe cell phone fell out of my hand as I was shaking in shock. My eyes shot up after I took in the information Jason gave me. What? Was Graham in cahoots with Kendall all this time? That was an option I had always balked at because it seemed too ridiculous to be true. I meant, it was true that
LauraJason drove the car at high speed, taking the detours that wouldn't be congested at this time of the morning. He weaved through the alleys and winding streets of Manhattan, finding better ways to reach Graham's car. “He’s about five minutes away from us, driving onto Broadway Road right now!”
“Get Annie in the car now, Laura,” Jason ordered, going over to where Graham was; my brother was there in the car, still disoriented by the accident. Jason grabbed him by the collar and pulled him out of the car, throwing Graham onto the hood and starting to punch him furiously. I covered Annie so
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
Lindsay POV The dinner was a marvel, an experience that felt like a warm hug in the form of food and company. Emma Weiss insisted that I try every dish she had prepared with such care, and I couldn’t deny how much it made me feel welcomed. "My lasagna recipe is famous," she said with a proud smile,
Lindsay POV The weekend in Atlanta had a taste of novelty and nervousness. Matt had invited me to dinner at his mother's house, Emma Weiss, and the idea of meeting his family left me in a state of anxiety mixed with anticipation. I had never met the parents of someone I was dating since, well, sinc
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
Laura POV"This strawberry drink is delicious," I commented, sipping my drink through a straw."Oh, nice. My pineapple one is really irresistible," Ava also commented, smiling, though the smile was somewhat reserved and awkward, just like mine.We were at a luxurious bar, a place that contrasted wit
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
Jason POV We were in the Oxwell campus parking lot, giving our final hugs before heading back home. Annie was practically engulfed in our embrace, hugging us tightly and saying she would miss us, even though she knew she could come home every weekend. Her hug was a mix of farewell and beginning, so
