The pulsing beat of the music vibrated through the air, lights flashing like liquid gold and crimson, casting shadows on the dark walls of the bar. The place buzzed with life—laughter, shouts, and bodies moving to the bass rhythm.

Ember was in her element, dancing like no one was watching, surrounded by her closest friends. Her long blonde hair swayed with every beat, and she moved like she was born to this rhythm as if the music itself had taken hold of her soul.

She was electric, her laughter contagious, her smile lighting up the room. She had that magnetic charm that made everything around her feel effortless, every moment unforgettable. And in that instant, Xavier couldn’t tear his eyes away. He had his arms around her as they danced, their bodies close, the chemistry between them undeniable.

Xavier had come here to escape—escape the pressure, the constant weight of his problems, especially the drama between Zane and Alana. It felt like their mess was always hanging over him, drag

    The cold, sterile air of the hospital hit Xavier as he entered the building, sending a chill that seemed to pierce through his skin and straight to his bones. His breathing was shallow, ragged, and his heart was a heavy weight in his chest. Every step felt like it carried the weight of the world, the adrenaline from earlier now slowly fading, leaving only the tension of the night to gnaw at him.His mind raced, replaying the chain of events over and over again. The familiar white walls of the hospital blurred before his eyes as he stumbled down the hallway, his fingers trembling as they brushed against the cool metal of the handrails. He could barely focus on anything except Calla—her face, her safe.Finally, he reached the room. When he saw her lying there on the bed, unconscious and vulnerable, something cracked inside him.

    The housekeeper sighed deeply, her voice breaking as she told him the story. “Zane was hiding at the bottom of the stairs. He played the sound of a dog barking as she came down. She wasn’t aware of him, and when she heard it, she panicked. She lost her balance and fell. I’m so sorry…”Xavier’s eyes closed for a moment, and his breath came out in a sharp hiss. His jaw clenched, his mind racing as the words hit him like a punch to the gut. The helplessness, the fear, it all mixed together in a whirlwind of anger. Zane. Alana. He could feel the rage bubbling up, a dangerous force that he could barely contain. They had crossed a line. No more games. No more pranks.“Stay with Calla,” he said, his voice low and strained, as though every word was being dragged from him.“I’ll come back later.”He turned without another word and walked toward the exit, his feet feeling like they were made of lead. His heart pounded in his chest as he climbed into his car, trying to block out the chaos in his

    Xavier sat alone in his car, gripping the steering wheel as his pulse raced. The weight of his father’s actions pressed down on him like a heavy stone, suffocating and relentless. He stared out the windshield at the quiet, darkened street ahead, the silence doing little to calm the storm raging in his mind.He didn’t even know what his father had done to get himself arrested, but whatever it was, it couldn’t be good. The uncertainty clawed at him, making his chest feel tight as he waited for Logan’s call with answers.The buzz of his phone broke through his thoughts, sharp and jarring in the stillness. He grabbed it, answering without hesitation.“Logan,” he said, his voice sharp and strained, already bracing for bad news.“Xavier,” Logan began, cutting straight to the point.“I just got off the phone with the sheriff. Your dad’s been arrested for a hit-and-run. It’s bad, man. Really bad.”Xavier’s knuckles turned white as he tightened his grip on the steering wheel. His jaw clenched

    The afternoon sun spilled golden light across Xavier’s office, pooling on the hardwood floors and casting long shadows on the polished furniture. But to him, it felt more like a harsh spotlight, highlighting his failures instead of offering warmth or solace.He sat slouched in his leather chair, his elbows resting on the armrests, and rubbed his temples in frustration. The weight of the past few days bore down on him like a physical burden, squeezing his chest until it was hard to breathe.His sister, Calla, was still in the hospital, lying in a stark white bed, recovering from her fall down the stairs. The bruises on her fragile frame haunted his mind, but he hadn’t had the chance to visit her yet.Every time he thought about stepping into that hospital room, he felt the crushing reminder that his father, Thomas, had created a whole new level of chaos for him to deal with first.Thomas was sitting in jail, arrested for drunkenly running over a couple with his car, and the media had a

    Xavier’s hand trembled as he waited for the familiar ring. Anger simmered beneath the surface, threatening to erupt. His knuckles turned white as he gripped the phone tighter, steadying himself for what was coming.The line connected with a click.“Harold,” Xavier began, his voice sharp and icy. “No one can stoop lower than you.”On the other end, Harold’s voice came through calm, almost mocking. “Well, if it isn’t my dear Xavier. What happened this time? You sound upset. Did something… bother you?”Xavier’s fist slammed against the desk, fury boiling over. “Don’t play dumb with me. I know you paid those tabloid hacks to write lies about me. You’re trying to ruin my life.”A low chuckle came from Harold. “Oh, come on, Xavier. You think I have time to waste on your little scandals? Give me a break. Don’t flatter yourself.”Xavier’s voice rose, sharp and cutting. “Don’t pretend you’re innocent. You’re always scheming, always pulling strings. This has your name written all over it.”Haro

    The steady beeping of the hospital monitor was the only sound breaking the silence in the dimly lit room. Xavier stood at the door, gripping the handle, his chest tight. Calla lay in the hospital bed, her face pale but peaceful.She looked so fragile, her breathing steady but shallow, her eyes closed. The sight of her like this sent a storm of emotions through him—a mix of relief that she was alive and frustration that he’d let her down by not being here sooner.He lingered for a moment longer, his fingers tightening on the door handle. He’d been consumed by trying to fix his father’s mess, but guilt gnawed at him. He should have come sooner.Finally, he stepped inside, his movements deliberate, and walked to her bedside. He reached out, his fingers brushing lightly against her cheek, as though afraid she might break under his touch. His voice was quiet but steady.“How are you, Calla?”Her eyes fluttered open, and when she saw him, a faint smile appeared on her lips.“I’m okay,” she

    The air was cool and breezy, carrying the scent of freshly mowed grass across the bustling school courtyard. The chatter of students created a lively symphony as the children played during their short recess. Laughter and squeals of delight echoed from the slides and jungle gym, and the rhythmic creak of swings provided a steady backdrop to the lively scene.Near the far edge of the playground, Zane and Alana stood side by side near the swings. Alana’s dark hair whipped in the wind as she kicked higher and higher, her feet reaching for the clouds. Zane, smaller but determined, leaned back on the swing, trying to catch up to her height.“Bet I’ll touch the sky before you do!” Alana challenged, her voice ringing out over the playground.“Dream on!” Zane shot back, grinning despite himself.Their laughter carried in the breeze, unguarded and full of joy—until it was suddenly interrupted by a voice that dripped with mockery.“Hey, Zane!

    “Ms. Bella, it wasn’t that big of a deal,” Zane muttered, trying to sound tough, though his voice wavered slightly. His attempt at bravado fell flat, betrayed by the uncertainty in his tone.“It is a big deal,” Ms. Bella said firmly, her voice unwavering. Her tone wasn’t angry, but it carried a calm authority that made every word land with a weight that couldn’t be ignored.“Violence has consequences, Zane, even in the smallest ways. You can’t just throw punches because you’re mad or frustrated. That’s not how you solve things. You’ve got to figure out a better way to handle your emotions.”Her words hit Zane like a ton of bricks, each sinking in deeper than the last. The anger bubbling inside him, fueling the fight, suddenly felt small and insignificant. It drained out of him, leaving a heavy mixture of shame and regret. He glanced up at her, his eyes unsure, his voice hesitant.“I… I didn’t mean to—”“Enough,” Ms. Bella interrupted, her voice steady but commanding, cutting through h

    The hum of the busy café enveloped Xavier and Logan, the cacophony of conversations blending with the clinking of cups and plates. It was the kind of place where people gathered to catch up, to share stories, or simply to escape the demands of their day-to-day lives. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee hung thick in the air, mingling with the faint scent of baked goods.Xavier sat stiffly in his chair, his hands wrapped around a steaming cup of black coffee. His posture was uncharacteristically tense, and his eyes remained fixed on the swirling liquid inside the ceramic mug.Around them, the café bustled with activity—baristas called out drink orders, groups of friends laughed loudly at a corner table, and couples leaned in close, lost in private conversations. But none of it seemed to register with Xavier. His thoughts were elsewhere, consumed by a woman who had unexpectedly—and irrevocably—woven herself into his life.Logan, seated across the table, observed the scene with his usual

    Xavier had walked for several blocks, his mind consumed with thoughts of Zane and Alana’s troublesome behavior, the uncertainty of their future, and the overwhelming responsibility that weighed heavily on his shoulders.His visit to the school had been unfruitful, and the confrontation with Bella Abram earlier had only reinforced his belief that she wasn’t going to help him with his children.Still, the idea of her—her calming presence, the connection she had forged with his children, and the promise of her wisdom—lingered in his mind. He needed someone like her. He couldn’t manage it on his own, and if she would just agree to be there for Zane and Alana, perhaps they could finally find some peace.So, he decided to go to her apartment, to give it one last shot.Xavier stood in front of the apartment door, knocking with a firm but respectful rap. The door swung open, and Bella's face immediately softened with surprise, though a hint of irritation flickered in her eyes. Before she coul

    Calla stood among her friends, their laughter weaving through the air like a familiar song. They were chatting about their lives, about the little things that didn’t matter much but seemed to fill the gaps in their days.On the surface, everything felt lighthearted and carefree, their voices blending into the hum of the bustling café. But while Calla smiled and nodded along, only half-listening, a part of her mind wandered elsewhere, unable to fully engage with the moment.Her thoughts were tangled up in the storm waiting for her at home. She couldn’t stop thinking about the growing distance between her and Xavier—the unspoken tension that seemed to hang in the air whenever they were together. Then there was the chaos caused by Zane and Alana, who always seemed to bring disorder wherever they went, stirring up trouble like it was second nature. And, of course, there was Drake.The thought of him made her stomach twist into knots. She couldn’t shake the image of him sitting alone in th

    Xavier exhaled deeply, the weight of his frustration bearing down on him as he rubbed a hand over his face. His fingers lingered for a moment, as though trying to physically wipe away the tension that had settled there. The events of the night had pushed him to his limits, and he could feel his patience thinning to the point of snapping. When he finally spoke, his voice was measured but laced with weariness."I’m not going to sugarcoat this, Clara," he began, his tone firm yet tinged with a hint of regret. "You have to be strong for them. They need stability and structure—someone who can manage their energy and their... behavior. But if you can’t do it, then I’ll find someone else." His gaze softened slightly as he added, "I won’t have you put yourself at risk like this. It’s not fair to you, and it’s not sustainable."Clara’s face betrayed a flicker of emotion—relief, perhaps, or frustration. She didn’t say anything, simply nodding before stepping away.

    Xavier sat in his room, his mind still swirling with the events of the day, an unrelenting storm of thoughts and emotions that refused to settle. His frustration had been steadily mounting, each passing hour adding to the weight of his responsibilities pressing down on him like a crushing load.He had tried—tried to accept, tried to be patient with Zane and Alana—but the constant chaos they brought into his life was starting to wear him thin. The noise, the mess, the endless string of antics that demanded his attention—it was all unraveling him from the inside out. How much longer could he keep up this façade of calm, this pretense of control, when every fiber of his being felt like it was fraying?Suddenly, a scream shattered the stillness of the house, the sound piercing the quiet like a dagger and sending a cold jolt down his spine. It wasn’t just any scream; it was a chilling, desperate cry that carried with it an unmistakable note of terror. His heart leaped into a frantic rhythm

    Xavier’s footsteps echoed through the quiet hallway as he walked into the house, his briefcase still clutched tightly in his hand. It had been a grueling day at the office, filled with back-to-back meetings and relentless attempts to solve yet another financial crisis. But despite the chaos at work, his mind hadn’t been able to stay focused. His thoughts had kept drifting, circling around one person: Calla.He hadn’t seen much of her today, and that fact alone had weighed on him. Work had consumed his time, and his family’s constant demands had drained the rest of his energy. Now, as he entered the living room, the sight before him made his chest tighten.Calla was sitting on the couch, her legs tucked beneath her, with Zane and Alana on either side of her. The three of them were leaning in toward her phone, their heads close together as they spoke animatedly, laughing and chatting over something on the screen. For a moment, Xavier stood still, just watching them, his presence unnotic

    Xavier’s footsteps echoed loudly down the polished school hallway, the sound bouncing off the cream-colored walls lined with student artwork and motivational posters. His thoughts churned with frustration and uncertainty as he approached the principal’s office.It had been months of trying—trying to discipline, understand, connect—but none of it seemed to make a difference. Zane and Alana were spiraling, their rebellious behavior showing no signs of stopping. Their bond with him, fragile at best, threatened to break entirely.He clenched his fists at his sides, feeling the familiar mix of anger and guilt rise in his chest. He wasn’t enough for them—he could admit that to himself, even if it stung. They needed more than he could give, and he was desperate enough to ask for help. That’s why he was here.Principal Carter had suggested meeting Bella Abram, a teacher who had managed, against all odds, to reach Zane and Alana.

    Calla sat on the edge of her bed, her legs crossed beneath her, a book lying open in her lap. She’d been staring at the same page for what felt like forever, the words swimming in front of her eyes. Normally, reading was her refuge, the one place she could retreat when everything else felt too chaotic, too overwhelming. But not today. Today, her mind wouldn’t let her focus.It had been days since she last heard from Drake. Their last conversation hadn’t gone well—well, none of their conversations ever really did. He had a way of making her feel small, guilty, like she owed him something, even now. She should’ve felt relieved that he was keeping his distance. And she did. Mostly. But the silence? It felt strange, unsettling, like a storm brewing just beyond the horizon.Then there was the mess at home. Tension had wrapped itself around the house like a suffocating blanket. Thomas’s presence didn’t help. Having their father there was like living with a ghost of bad decisions and broken

    The sunlight was just beginning to pour through the blinds of Xavier’s bedroom, casting long golden streaks across the floor, when the chaos started. He’d barely stirred from bed when the unmistakable sound of small, hurried footsteps pounding down the hallway reached his ears.It was a sound he had come to dread over the past few weeks. He had hoped—prayed—for a quiet morning to gather his thoughts, but with Zane and Alana in the house, moments of peace were as rare as snowfall in summer.Xavier exhaled heavily, rubbing his temples as he sat down at his desk. He had barely pulled out his chair when the door creaked open with an all-too-familiar hesitance, as if the culprits behind it knew they were trespassing but didn’t care.Sure enough, Zane and Alana sneaked in, their faces plastered with mischievous grins that could only mean one thing: trouble was brewing. The gleam in their eyes was the kind that made Xavier’s heart sink. It was that glint of pure, unfiltered mischief that onl
