CARA

The whisky burned going down, but the conversation with Stacey burned even more. I leaned back in the plush chair, swirling my glass, and smirked at my sister. Stacey always had this cool, calculating vibe that made me feel both impressed and a little uneasy.

“So, what’s the next move?” I asked, raising an eyebrow as I leaned back in my chair, cradling the glass of whisky in my hand. “You’ve got Shawna wrapped around your finger. Spill it—what’s the plan?”

Stacey leaned forward, resting her elbows on the table, her lips curling into that sly smile of hers. The kind that made you nervous even when you were on her side. “It’s enough that they don’t know we’re sisters,” she said, her voice smooth as silk. “That alone gives us the element of surprise.”

I couldn’t help but laugh. “You’ve got a point. Can you imagine their faces if they found out? Shawna would lose her mind.” I sipped my drink, still chuckling. “She thinks she’s so clever. Little does she know, she’s playing right into

    STACEYThe mall wasn’t exactly my sanctuary, but when stress weighed me down, retail therapy worked wonders. And today, Kyle and his evasive nonsense had pushed me to my limit. I needed to clear my head, and browsing the high-end stores seemed like the perfect distraction.I was strolling past the luxury children’s section when I spotted her. Shawna. Of all the people to run into when I was already in a bad mood. She was with her kids, the three of them giggling and holding up clothes as though they had all the time and money in the world. The sight of her gratingly smug face turned my irritation into full-blown annoyance.“Shawna,” I called out, stepping into their line of sight. My heels clicked against the polished floor with precision, each sound echoing through the luxurious mall.Her head snapped up, and the moment she saw me, her smile disappeared faster than I’d expected. “Stacey,” she replied, her voice clipped and her forced smile barely masking her irritation.“What a surpr

    SHAWNACara placed the document neatly on my desk, her calm and collected energy somehow grounding me in the middle of this hectic morning. “This is everything you need to finalize the deal with Kyle,” she said smoothly, her tone steady like always.I nodded, letting out a long breath. “Thanks, Cara. Let me go through it, and I’ll let you know if I need anything.”She gave a quick nod and turned to leave, her efficiency unmatched. But before she could even reach the door, it burst open so suddenly it made both of us jump.Kyle strode in, his presence loud and overbearing as always. He flashed one of those fake, overconfident grins, aimed right at Cara like he was some kind of superstar.“Cara,” he greeted her, his voice dripping with that faux charm he thought was so irresistible.Cara, to her credit, didn’t flinch. She looked at him with her usual unreadable expression, her professional mask firmly in place. “Mr. Kyle,” she said curtly, offering a polite nod before gliding out of the

    SHAWNAKyle’s words lingered like smoke in the air, curling into every corner of my thoughts. “A mole?” I repeated, disbelief clinging to my voice. “You’re serious?”Kyle nodded, his face dark and serious. “Think about it, Shawna. How else could Stacey have known? Someone’s feeding her information. Someone close to you.”I rubbed my temples, the idea sending a sharp pang of unease through me. “This is ridiculous. We’ve been careful.”“Careful?” Kyle snorted, pushing off the wall to pace the room. “Stacey didn’t just magically know about the deal. It didn’t come from thin air.”I stared at him, my mind racing. “Okay, fine. Let’s say you’re right. Who? Who do you think it is?”Kyle stopped pacing and faced me, his arms crossed and his gaze hard. “Let’s start with the basics. Who knew about our deal?”I frowned, counting on my fingers. “You, me, Cara, Damien, and Eugene. That’s it.”Kyle’s jaw worked as he processed the names. “Eugene’s out. She wouldn’t sell herself out. That leaves Car

    SHAWNAI stood in the middle of the room, rubbing my temples as the tension built like a storm ready to burst. “I can’t do this anymore,” I said, my voice louder than I intended. “Eugene, you need to leave. Take your mother and go somewhere safe, but you can’t stay here.”Eugene’s arms were crossed, her jaw set in that stubborn way I knew all too well. Her mother stood just behind her, the same defiance etched into her face.“We’re not going anywhere,” Eugene said flatly. “Stacey’s bluffing. She won’t do anything.”I stared at Eugene, my patience fraying at the edges. “This isn’t up for debate,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady. “You can’t just stick around and hope for the best. Stacey doesn’t make empty threats.”Eugene shrugged, her arms still crossed as if to physically block out my reasoning. “She’s all talk. I’ve dealt with her type before.”“That’s exactly the problem!” I shot back, my voice rising. “You think you’ve got her figured out, but she’s already crossed lines th

    SHAWNAEugene paced the room, her steps erratic, like she was teetering on the edge of an explosion. Her movements mirrored the chaos that seemed to be brewing in her mind. Her mother, rooted by the door with her arms firmly crossed, didn’t move a muscle. She was like a mirror image of Eugene, the same fiery determination written all over her face.“That’s it. We’re leaving,” Eugene declared, her voice sharp and cutting through the room like a blade. She didn’t even flinch as she said it. “And you’re not calling the cops about it, Shawna.”I blinked, stunned by her nerve. My anger flared, bubbling up from deep inside me. I felt the heat rising in my chest, threatening to spill over. “Excuse me?” I said, my voice rising. “You don’t get to dictate what I do. Not after everything you’ve done.”Eugene stopped pacing and turned to face me, her jaw set in defiance. “I’m not sticking around for Stacey to come after me again. I’m done with this place, Shawna.”I crossed my arms, trying to ste

    DAMIENI stared at the glowing screen of my phone, Stacey’s name flashing like a warning sign. It wasn’t just a call—it was a video call. My thumb hovered over the screen. Pick up, or don’t pick up? The thought of her smirking face staring at me through the camera made my stomach churn. I pressed the red button to hang up and immediately switched to an audio call, hoping to avoid whatever chaos she had in store.“Hello?” I answered, keeping my tone neutral, like I hadn’t just dodged her video call.“Damien!” Stacey’s voice came through, sugary sweet but laced with mischief. “What’s with the audio? You’re avoiding me already?”I cleared my throat. “Nah, I’m, uh… in the shower.” I lied through my teeth, hoping it would be enough to make her back off.Stacey snorted, her laughter filling my ear. “Oh, come on, Damien. Since when did modesty become your thing? We’ve seen each other naked before, haven’t we?”My jaw tightened, and I felt Shawna’s eyes on me. I glanced over, and sure enough,

    STACEYThe bubbles in the tub were starting to lose their fluffiness, shrinking into patches of foamy islands scattered across the surface. The once-steamy water was beginning to cool, but I didn’t care. I sank deeper into the tub, letting the warm water embrace me like a protective cocoon. The lavender scent lingered in the air, soothing but failing to completely silence the nagging thoughts in my head.I closed my eyes and tried to focus on the rhythm of the droplets trickling from the faucet, hoping it might lull me into some semblance of calm. Just as I started to feel my shoulders relax, the sharp buzz of my phone broke through the quiet.Stretching over the edge of the tub, I grabbed the phone from the sink. Water dripped from my fingers onto the screen, but I wiped it hastily and glanced at the caller ID. Cara’s name flashed brightly, the screen glowing like it was demanding my attention.“What now?” I muttered, answering the call as I leaned back in the tub, the warmth of the

    SHAWNAI folded another sweater and placed it into the travel bag with deliberate care, trying to keep my hands steady. My mind was racing, and my heart was pounding in my chest like a drum. This couldn’t look like what it was—running. The kids couldn’t know the truth. I had to keep it together, for them and me.Phoebe’s voice broke through my whirlwind of thoughts. “Mom, where are we going?”I glanced up to see her standing at the edge of the bed, arms crossed, her piercing gaze fixed on me. Her sharp little mind was always three steps ahead, and I could tell she wasn’t buying the silence I’d offered earlier. Meanwhile, the boys were a whirlwind of excitement, bouncing from one corner of the room to the other, chattering like they were getting ready for a grand adventure.“It’s a surprise,” I said, forcing a cheerful tone and a smile I didn’t feel. “We’re going on a vacation.”“A vacation?” one of my boy’s faces lit up, his hands shooting into the air as he’d just scored the winning

    SHAWNA"Damien, Liam, I think something's wrong," I said, my voice trembling. "I can't find Billy and Phoebe anywhere."Their faces paled. "What do you mean you can't find them?" Damien asked, his voice sharp."I mean they're gone. Vanished. I've looked everywhere, and they're just… not here."Liam's eyes widened. "Maybe they're playing hide-and-seek?" he suggested, trying to sound optimistic."Liam, they wouldn't play hide-and-seek without telling me," I said, my heart pounding. "This isn't a game."We raced back to my mother's house, finding her frantically pacing the living room. "Jasper!" I cried, pulling him into a tight hug. "Where were you, darling? You scared me to death."Jasper simply shrugged. "I was playing in the garden," he mumbled.Then, his face crumpled. "But I can’t find Phoebe and Billy," he cried out, tears welling in his eyes. His lower lip trembled, and he buried his face in my skirt, sobs racking his small frame.I knelt beside him, my heart aching. "Oh, sweetie

    PHOEBE"Come on, Billy!" I tugged his hand, practically dragging him down the stairs. "We gotta go!""Where are we going, Phoebe?" Billy whined, his lower lip trembling."To find Daddy!" I said, holding up my tablet. "I ordered a car. We're going to his office."The car arrived, a big black one. The driver looked at us suspiciously. "Where are you little ones going? And who's with you?""We're going to find our Daddy!" I declared. "We can take care of ourselves."Billy mumbled something about wanting ice cream, but I ignored him. "We're going to his company," I told the driver, giving him the address.He looked at us for a long time, like he didn't believe me. "Your parents know you're going alone?""We don't need them," I said confidently. "We're brave."The driver sighed. "Alright, get in."Billy was so excited, he tried to open the door himself. But it was stuck! "Stuck!" he yelled and started to cry a little. I tried to open it too, and I pushed hard. Finally, it opened with a LOU

    SHAWNAThe house was quiet now, but the tension still lingered in the air. I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the photograph of my kids on the nightstand. Their bright, innocent smiles seemed a world away from the chaos that had unfolded earlier. I couldn’t ignore it anymore. This situation was spiraling out of control, and I needed to fix it before it broke something we couldn’t put back together.Taking a deep breath, I stood up and made my way to the living room, where the kids were sulking in different corners. Jasper sat on the couch with his arms crossed, Phoebe was curled up in the armchair with her face buried in a book she wasn’t reading, and Billy was sprawled on the floor, fiddling with a toy car but clearly not playing. The tension between them was palpable.“Alright, you three,” I began, standing in the middle of the room. “We need to talk.”Jasper looked away, Phoebe’s book snapped shut with an audible thud, and Billy groaned, dragging himself into a sitting positio

    LIAMThe sound of laughter filled the park as Phoebe and Billy raced each other across the grassy field, their giggles carrying on the warm afternoon breeze. Jasper, however, stood a few feet away, kicking at the dirt with the tip of his shoe, a deep frown etched on his face.I approached him cautiously, knowing that pushing too hard could make things worse. "Jasper," I began gently, crouching down to his level, "what’s wrong, buddy? You’ve been quiet all afternoon."He stopped kicking and glanced at me, his little face set with a stubborn pout. "Why can’t I choose who I want as my daddy?" he muttered, his voice barely above a whisper.The words hit me harder than I cared to admit, but I took a deep breath, forcing myself to remain calm. "Jasper," I said, my tone steady, "I know this is hard for you. It’s a big change. But Damien is your dad, and that’s not something anyone gets to choose. It’s just how it is."Jasper crossed his arms over his chest and glared at the ground. "But I do

    SHAWNAI returned from the mall, juggling groceries and feeling pretty pleased with myself. The house was supposed to be quiet; I’d promised the kids a movie night later, and I figured they’d be playing. Instead, I walked into the sound of crying—loud, heart-wrenching sobs.Dropping the bags on the kitchen counter, I rushed into the living room to find Jasper on the couch, tears streaming down his little face. Phoebe and Noah hovered nearby, looking worried, while Damien sat awkwardly on the armrest, running a hand through his hair like he didn’t know what to do.“What happened?” I asked, my voice sharper than I intended.Damien stood as soon as he saw me, his face a mix of guilt and frustration. “It’s... a long story.”“Mommy!” Phoebe rushed over, tugging on my arm. “Jasper doesn’t want Daddy to be Daddy!”I blinked, utterly confused. “What?”Noah chimed in. “We were helping him plan something, but then Jasper got mad and started crying.”I looked between them, then at Damien. “Helpi

    DAMIENI sat on the edge of Kyle’s couch, watching him casually toss clothes into his duffle bag, his movements unhurried, as if he had all the time in the world. Meanwhile, my thoughts raced a mile a minute, the small box in my hand feeling heavier than it had any right to. I turned it over in my fingers, the weight of what it represented settling like a stone in my chest.Kyle glanced over, his sharp eyes immediately catching on to what I was holding. His brows shot up, and an all-too-familiar smirk spread across his face. “What’s that?” he asked, leaning slightly forward. “A magic trick?”I rolled my eyes, already regretting having the box out in the open. “It’s a ring.”“No kidding,” he said, his smirk widening into a full-on grin. “You planning to propose, or are you just trying out jewelry for fun?”“Yes, I’m proposing,” I snapped, gripping the ring tighter in my palm.Kyle froze for a second, then let out a loud, boisterous laugh that echoed through the room like I’d just told

    SHAWNAThe moment I got the news about Cara, I felt like the ground had shifted beneath me. I couldn’t believe it. She was gone, and with her went any chance of getting the answers we so desperately needed. My chest felt tight, and my mind raced with the realization that we might never know the full truth.Back home, I couldn’t sit still. I kept pacing, my thoughts spiraling. “We were so close,” I muttered to myself, frustration bubbling to the surface. Damien tried to comfort me, but I brushed him off gently. “I need to clear my head,” I said before heading back out.I drove to the hospital where Cara had been taken. I wasn’t ready to let this go without a fight. When I arrived, I demanded to see someone who could give me more information. A nurse led me to a stoic government official who barely flinched as I unloaded my questions.“I need a detailed report,” I said, my voice sharp but steady. “What happened to Cara? And Stacey—where are their bodies?”The man sighed, shuffling some

    SHAWNAThe news hit me like a tidal wave—Stacey was gone. The police confirmed her death while we were still processing the chaos of the ambush. I didn’t know how to feel about it. Relief? Anger? Sadness? Maybe all three, or maybe nothing at all. It was hard to say anymore.Cara, on the other hand, had survived but was facing court as an accomplice. A part of me felt vindicated, but another part wondered if she’d planned on pulling something else even from behind bars. Damien didn’t seem concerned about her anymore.“Do you think we should keep running?” he asked as we sat on the edge of the bed in his quiet apartment, the evidence of the last few weeks weighing heavily in the air.I sighed, running my fingers through my hair. “We’ve been through hell here, Damien. Maybe we deserve a break.”He nodded slowly, his hand resting on my knee. “Yeah. You’re right. We’ve fought enough battles for a lifetime.”We sat in silence for a moment, the kind that felt heavy but necessary. Just as I w

    SHAWNACara swallowed hard, her throat bobbing visibly. “I don’t know if I have anything useful,” she admitted, her voice cracking. “She didn’t tell me much. She kept me in the dark most of the time.”“Think,” I pressed, my tone cutting through the tension like a blade. “Anything you’ve heard, seen, or even suspected could be the key to stopping her.”“I… I do have some texts,” Cara said hesitantly, pulling her phone from her pocket. “She sent me instructions sometimes. And there’s this file she left at my place. She said not to open it, but I… I couldn’t help myself. It’s all in there, her plans, the names, everything. I took a picture of it with my phone”Damien and I exchanged a glance, a spark of hope igniting between us.“Good,” I said, nodding. “That’s a start. You’re going to hand everything over, and we’ll take it from there. But Cara…” I stepped closer, lowering my voice. “If you’re lying, or if you’re holding anything back, there won’t be a next time. Understood?”She nodded
