Chapter 123: Sara’s Point of View The door to my room slammed shut, rattling the windows. My chest heaved with anger as I paced back and forth, the events of the day replaying in my mind like a cruel joke. My father’s words, his cold dismissal of me and my mother, cut deeper than I wanted to admi
Chapter 124: Max’s Point of View I stood outside Eva’s office once again, the bouquet of her favorite flowers trembling slightly in my hand. The vibrant colors of the lilies and roses seemed to mock the turmoil in my chest. I had spent hours rehearsing what I would say, but now, standing here, th

CHAPTER 127 MAX’S POINT OF VIEW The air was heavy as I stepped out of the car, the faint smell of gasoline and mildew from the rundown motel wafting through the air. The building was as unremarkable as I had expected faded paint, cracked windows, and a neon sign that flickered weakly in the dim li
CHAPTER 128 MAX’S POINT OF VIEW Lila’s sobs filled the suffocating silence of the room, each wail scraping against my nerves. I stared at her, disgust and anger swirling inside me like a storm. She had ruined Eva’s life, shattered her reputation, and for what? Money? Desperation? It didn’t matter.

Chapter 338 "Uncle Josh is in trouble," Mia announced, her small face unusually serious as she burst into Eva's study. Her brothers tumbled in after her, all wearing matching expressions of concern. Eva looked up from her paperwork, noting their agitation. "What makes you say that, sweetheart?" "
