Angelo drove down the quiet road, the soft hum of the engine the only sound in the car. It was a peaceful evening, the kind where the worries of the world seemed to melt away, if only for a while. He needed this drive, a break from the tension that had been suffocating the family ever since Emily's kidnapping and Amy's betrayal.As he turned a corner, he noticed a little girl standing by the side of the road, her small frame barely visible in the twilight. She looked lost, her eyes wide with fear. Angelo slowed down and pulled over, his protective instincts kicking in."Hey there," he said gently, stepping out of the car. "Are you okay?"The girl looked up at him, her eyes welling with tears. "I... I can't find my mom," she whispered, her voice trembling.Angelo crouched down to her level, offering a reassuring smile. "It's okay, we’ll find her. Do you know where you last saw her?"The girl nodded, sniffling. "At the park... but I don’t know how to get back."Angelo’s heart ached for
Kamsy had been awake for a few days, but today was special—it was the day he would finally return home. As he walked through the hospital corridor, his steps were slow but determined. The brothers were by his side, and there was a quiet anticipation among them. They were all relieved and happy to have him back.When they arrived at the car, Kamsy took a deep breath, feeling the warmth of the late afternoon sun on his skin.

Emily and Kamsy had been looking forward to this vacation for what seemed like forever.

A chance to just be together, to reconnect, and to remember what it felt like to breathe without the weight of the world on their shoulders.They had chosen a secluded beachside villa, far from the mansion and all the chaos that came with it. The villa was perched on the edge of a cliff, offering breathtaking views of the ocean.

Emily stepped out onto the terrace, her breath catching as she took in the beauty of the scene before her. "Kamsy, it’s perfect,"
The sky was overcast, casting a muted gray light over the graveyard as the brothers made their way through the rows of headstones. It had been a few months since they had buried Austin, and while time had softened the raw edges of their grief, the pain of his loss was still a heavy presence in their lives. Today, they had come to visit his grave not just to remember him, but to honor a promise they had made to him.Inishola, Kamsy, Xender, Tony, and Angelo walked slowly, each step echoing the weight of their sorrow.

He knelt beside it, his expression a mixture of determination and sadness. "Hey, Austin," he began, his voice cracking slightly. "We’re here.

Amy sat in the mental hospital's common room, her gaze drifting aimlessly over the dull, beige walls. The atmosphere was stifling, filled with the low murmur of other patients and the occasional clink of medical equipment. The room had become her world, a place where time seemed to drag on endlessly, filled with monotonous routines and half-hearted conversations. The weight of her past actions hung heavily on her shoulders, a constant reminder of the chaos she had caused.The door to the room creaked open, and Inishola stepped in, his presence a rare interruption to her daily routine.

Emily's POV:"1, 2, 3," I whispered, watching the clock.Three more minutes until he wakes up; my hands shake as I try to calm my breathing. Glancing back at the table, I placed the food on it and took two steps back, stealing another glance at the clock.Heading towards my bedroom, I walked slowly, my body still burning from the beating I received the other night, all because I forgot to clean Sir's shoes before he left for work.Shaking my head, I opened my room door slowly, ensuring it was locked twice before heading to the bathroom. "All done, just stay in your room until he leaves," I whispered before looking at myself in the mirror.My long black hair looked dishevelled, my full lips stained with a little blood, both eyes red from crying the day before, and my body bearing the scars of past beatings.I despised my body because my dad said I was fat and ugly, even though I'm just 13 and know I'm not fat.Taking a deep breath, I turned on the shower, bracing for the pain."Ouch,"
