"Greece?" I called out again, rising from my seat as the disheveled young woman stumbled towards our table. Her usually impeccable appearance was in disarray - her dark hair mussed, her clothes wrinkled, and her eyes wide with a mix of fear and relief. I watched as her legs and fingers trembled, she looked lost…the sight of her in that state made me worry, it also reminded me of myself. As she reached us, I opened my arms instinctively, and Greece practically fell into my embrace. Her body shook with silent sobs as she clung to me, her fingers digging into my back as if I were a lifeline in a stormy sea. I held her tightly, my worry growing with each passing second."Shh, it's okay," I murmured, running a soothing hand down her back. "You're safe now. Whatever it is, we'll figure it out together," I promised in a low voice, feeling a sharp pang in my chest the longer I felt her tears soak through my shirt. What exactly was going on with her? What could've caused her to end up in suc

As we pulled up to the imposing gates of the Roman’s mansion, I felt Greece's anxiety radiating from her in tangible waves. I gave her hand a reassuring squeeze as we stepped out of our respective cars. The late afternoon sun cast long shadows across the manicured lawn as we made our way up the winding driveway.The sun was already setting, the day had gone by in a flash yet it was one of the hardest days I've had to power through since I woke up. In just one day I have learnt that my mother was a crime lord's heir and she made a lot of enemies. And now there was Greece…being treated like shit by her mother by reasons only best known to Victoria Wellington. Who would treat their child this way? Put them through such emotional torture…or are parents like that more common than I think? After all, my father has done worse to me…"Come on," I said softly, guiding Greece through the entrance. "Let's get you settled in,"The young woman reminded me so much of myself, maybe that was why

As Roman stepped into the kitchen, I felt a sudden tension coil in my stomach. His eyes swept over the scene, lingering on Greece before settling on me. I couldn't help but notice how his gaze lingered, perhaps taking in my new blonde hair.Or maybe it was something else. He looked at me like he was unable to look away and I heldy breath, waiting for whatever it was he wanted to do…or say. "I... I brought dinner," Roman finally said, lifting a bag I hadn't noticed before. The scent of something delicious wafted from it, and I felt a pang of surprise and warmth at the gesture. It was something he had never done before, at least not since I'd lost my memories.Dinner? Damn it, why was he being so…so… "Oh," I said, caught off guard. "That's very thoughtful of you, Roman. We've actually just finished cooking, but we can save what you brought for tomorrow. It won't go to waste," I replied in the most steady voice I could muster, unsure of why I was feeling slightly bad that I made dinn

The next morning, after Roman had left for the office, Greece and I found ourselves curled up on the plush sofa in the living room, a bowl of popcorn between us and a lighthearted romantic comedy playing on the massive TV screen just like the last time she'd been here. It was a welcome distraction from the heavy thoughts that had been plaguing both of us."I can't believe he actually said that!" Greece giggled, throwing a piece of popcorn at the screen as the male lead delivered a particularly cheesy line.I laughed along with her, feeling a warmth in my chest at seeing her so relaxed and carefree. It was a stark contrast to the frightened, trembling girl I'd encountered yesterday. "I know, right? Who writes this stuff?" I mused, watching as the female lead in the movie got emotional and fell for the cheesy line. “Ugh…” Greece groaned, laughing even as she grimaced, “Remind me again why we picked this movie?”I threw my head back with laughter, enjoying the expression she had on. “Y

JESSICAThe cool evening breeze rustled through my newly dyed hair as I made my way back to St. Mary's Hospital for my night shift. I felt refreshed after my day off, but a nagging worry tugged at the back of my mind. Greece was Roman's sister, I did not know her that well but we'd run into each other a few times due to the fact that our families were somewhat involved. I always imagined her to be the baby of the family, the pampered one and Roman the one who all their expectations eere out on. But it seemed Roman's parents were just really shitty people. Because why the fuck do they treat their kids that way? But then again, am I in any position to judge? I felt a pang of guilt as my thoughts drifted in that direction, I tried to brutal those thoughts, just like I have for the past five years…bury it so fucking deep that it wouldn't resurface. As I pushed through the staff entrance, the familiar antiseptic smell hit me, instantly transporting me back into work mode. I nodded at

The moment the words left my mouth, I knew I'd made a mistake. The temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees as my father's expression hardened, his eyes that were similar to mine turning to steel."No?" he repeated, his voice dangerously soft. "I don't think you understand the situation, Jessica. This isn't a request." He sneered, eyeing me like I'd suddenly become his enemy just because I refuted him. I swallowed hard, fighting against the instinct to back down. "Dad, I-""Don't push me to do things I would regret, Jessica," he cut me off, his tone leaving no room for argument. "You're my daughter, and I love you, but family comes first. Always."My hands were shaking, but I clenched them into fists, drawing strength from the anger bubbling up inside me. "I have no intention of leaving my job or the life I've built here," I said, my voice steadier than I felt. "This is who I am now, Dad. A doctor. Someone who helps people, not destroys them."Why can't they understand

The city streets felt different as I made my way home from my meeting with Uncle Sal. The familiar buildings and bustling sidewalks seemed charged with a new energy, or maybe that was just my frayed nerves. Uncle Sal had been... well, Uncle Sal. Cryptic, slightly menacing, but ultimately reassuring in his own twisted way. He'd promised to "take care of things" on the family front, at least for now. I wasn't entirely sure I wanted to know what that meant, but I hoped it would buy me some time to figure out my next move. As I walked, I couldn't shake the feeling that eyes were on me. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up, and I found myself glancing over my shoulder more often than I'd like to admit. Was I being paranoid, or had my father's visit awakened some long-dormant instinct for danger? Oh for fucks sake! I quickened my pace, my apartment building finally coming into view. Just a few more blocks and I'd be safe behind my locked door. I could draw the curtains, turn off my

AMELIA I didn't hear from Roman for an entire day. It was the day before the shareholders meeting, my nerves were off the charts and I wanted to ask him for some pointers. At first I figured he'd left early to work, he was a busy man, I didn't blame him. Even I had a few things I had to catch up on when it came to the ongoing projects at Grayson Holdings. When he didn't answer my calls or text I figured he was extremely busy. But as I watched my reflection in the mirror, smoothing over the faint crinkles on my pants suit, I realized something was up. I was preparing for the shareholders meeting, heart racing like I ran a marathon. I tried to keep my head leveled, remind myself of everything I am and why I do not have to be afraid that my father would pull shit. As I grabbed my purse and walked out of the room, my gaze lingered on the bedroom of the guest room Roman slept in. I knocked a few times, hoping he might've come back home while I was asleep but I didn't get an answe
