“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
LauraI caressed and kissed the top of my daughter's head in an attempt to calm her down. As soon as we arrived at the medical center, the doctors quickly took her for a check-up. Jason and I were in that room, answering the questions they gave us and not moving away from our daughter to avoid makin

JasonI saw Laura leaving the room where our daughter was resting and heading towards the place where Suzy was hospitalized. I was perplexed after learning that she and Suzy were sisters. Likewise, I meant I could see some physical similarities in them, but Laura had a common face, not far from the
“And since when are adopted children, not real children, Mr. Davies?”“As long as they don't have your blood running through their veins,” I explained, as if explaining it to a damn baby. He laughed at me. “Anyway, everyone has their own designs of happiness. Meanwhile, I continue to love my darlin
AvaI was at my house playing with my little daughter when Terrence called me with the terrible news. I was at extreme peace without any major worries, just living my life and enjoying it as I always dreamed of, with my little girl in my arms and another on the way, but then Terrence's call had to t
“Of course, hun. Come quickly,” I said, and then I hung up the cell phone. I rolled my eyes right after and called the nanny who took care of Abby. “Get my daughter ready; I'm going out with her in a few minutes,” I ordered, already going up the stairs to put on better clothes. Terrence didn't take
Ava"Suddenly, Laura and Suzy are the same blood group now?” I commented bitterly after finding out that she was donating blood to that woman, unable to hide my displeasure. I mean, I understood that Suzy had been in an accident and was in a state of life and death, but her daughter was also in bad
Annie POV Peter Morton’s face was just inches from mine, staring at me. The electric blue of his eyes was so close I could see his irises dilating and contracting. “You okay, Lady Ann?” he asked. I sighed with a small smile, half in delight. “It’s been a while since anyone called me that.” Actual
Annie POV The masked boy—who I didn’t want to admit was Peter—took me to an upscale, comfortable hotel where I could spend the night safely, away from everything, and try to regain my composure and figure out what to do next. “You can stay here,” he said calmly, though his voice still carried a hi
Annie POV The masked boy led me through the dark campus, his hand firm in mine as we ran away from the ballroom. My legs trembled, the blue dress swishing with each step, and tears still streamed down my face, hot and relentless. The sound of the shouts, the judgments, still echoed in my head, bu
“No choice?” He cut me off, his tone incredulous. “Are you serious? You chose to help Madison make that video. You chose to plug it into the projector. And now Annie’s out there, broken, while you try to run from the responsibility. This doesn’t fix anything, Abby. It wasn’t supposed to end like thi
Abby POV I was there, tucked away in the shadows of the ballroom’s corner, my heart still racing as I watched the chaos I’d helped create unfold. The giant screen kept playing that horrible video, distorted and manipulated clips of Annie echoing through the room like a final verdict. People poin
Annie POV I was still on the dance floor, the warmth of the masked boy’s body against mine, my head resting on his chest as the slow music guided us. The sound of his heartbeat against my ear was almost hypnotic, and I let myself get lost in that feeling I couldn’t quite explain. He’d just said s
I swallowed hard, Caleb’s words coming back to haunt me. “Have you ever stopped to think that maybe we’ve gone too far?” He’d said that at the mall, and I’d hung up on him, but now they echoed in my head. Annie had hurt me, yes. The fight in the dorm, the way she called me fake, like I was trash she
Abby POV I was leaning against the wall of the ballroom, the cup of punch in my hand already warm and forgotten, as I watched Annie dance with that masked boy. The soft lights of the ball cast shadows over them, and even from so far away, you could feel something in the air—a chemistry almost tangi
Anne POV I was there, trying to at least pretend I was enjoying the party with Summer, letting the loud music and spinning lights distract me from the weight pressing on my chest. Summer danced beside me, throwing her arms up with that endless energy of hers, and I tried to keep up, forcing a smile
