Watch Me; SHINE chapter 118
Angel’s Point of ViewI couldn’t stop pacing. My heart raced with every step, my mind playing out every worst-case scenario I could imagine. Ace had barely said a word since we returned home. The tension between us was suffocating, thick and unyielding.He sat in the living room, his elbows resting on his knees, staring at the floor as if it held all the answers to the chaos that had just unfolded. His silence was more terrifying than any argument we could have had.I watched him from the doorway, my chest tightening with guilt and fear. He hadn’t looked at me, hadn’t said anything about what Morana had revealed. It was as if he was retreating into himself, shutting me out completely.I couldn’t take it anymore.Tears blurred my vision as I turned and rushed to our bedroom. Shutting the door behind me, I sank to the floor, my back pressed against the cold wood. The tears came fast and uncontrollably, shaking my entire body.How could my father have done this? How could he have been r

Mike’s Point of ViewThe walk to Jack’s house felt like an eternity. Each step weighed heavy, not just on my feet but on my soul. Apologizing to Jack felt like trying to piece together shards of glass it was bound to hurt, but it was necessary.For years, jealousy had consumed me. It wasn’t just the envy of his life or the love he shared with Nancy; it was the feeling of always being overshadowed, always living in the shadows of his happiness. I had convinced myself that his success and love life had stolen something from me. And because of that twisted perspective, I had made choices that I could never undo.But now, standing outside his door, I realized the only way forward was to own my mistakes and seek forgiveness, no matter how undeserving I felt.Jack opened the door, his face a mixture of surprise and guarded curiosity. He didn’t say anything at first, just stepped aside to let me in. I walked into the living room, memories flooding back good ones, ones I had tainted with

Amelia's point of view:"I don't think this is a good idea, Lia," my older brother, Ace, said softly, looking at me.A sigh left my lips; he had been overprotective again."It's just one party, Ace, and I promise if anything happens, I'll call you," I begged him.But he still shook his head at me."Don't you understand that those kids will make fun of you because you are...""Fat?" I asked with a tilted head.A sigh left his lips before looking away."Look, I'm just trying to help you out here. Don't go to the party. Stay with me. We could both watch a movie, do anything you want, Amelia. Just don't go," he said softly, his eyes searching mine."I want to go, Ace, that's all I asked. If anything happens, I'll call you and never go to any party again, I promise," I whispered."Let her go; she's going to be the one crying back," I heard someone say from the door.Turning my head, I looked into the eyes of my father, a scold on his lips."But Dad-" Ace mumbled."Enough; she wants to go, s

Amelia's point of view:"Wow," I whispered, looking at the house in front of me.No, not a house; it's a freaking mansion."Cool, right? One of the school basketball players, Toney, owns it," Frank said.Nodding my head, I looked outside the window; I could see people moving, which made my heart race."You could just go; I'll wait here for you," I mumbled softly, looking at him with a smile.Only to receive an eye rollback."Get your pretty ass out!" Frank ordered, hopping out of his car.A sigh left my lips before whispering a little prayer.I needed it; I needed the prayers.Frank opened the door for me, his head tilted to the side."I'll protect you, Lia, just like I always do," he said softly.Nodding my head, I wrapped my fingers in his.Then hopped out."If anything goes wrong, I'm leaving," I stated."Whatever you say, boss," Frank said, making me giggle.With that, we walked towards the entrance.I could already feel people's eyes on us, watching our every move.Maybe they are

Amelia's Point of View:"Wake up, it's time for school!" my father said bluntly.Rolling my head, I gave him a small smile to which he returned."I see you didn't come back home crying, guess everything was fine, right?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.Nodding, I thumped him up, and he chuckled before walking out of my room.Letting out a breath, I slowly rose from my bed.I think I'll tell my Dad to homeschool me; all this isn't working out, especially what Toney said. But I have to think positively, right?Shaking my head, I walked toward my closet, then brought out my black hoodie and baggy pants.I didn't want people staring. Walking towards the toilet, I looked at myself in the mirror. Slapping my tummy, I watched it bounce back like water, making me groan. I think I should start working out soon. Maybe I eat too much.Shaking my head, I walked into the bathroom, making sure to lock the door behind me. I pulled off my clothes, then grabbed my toothbrush and toothpaste, going thro

Amelia's Point of View:"Why is this fat girl coming towards us?" I heard Lucie ask loudly, making the room feel smaller with his booming voice.Not this, Lord, anything but this.I could feel Toney throwing glances at him, but he didn't care."What do you mean? She's friends with us, Lucie," Alex mumbled with a frown.Lucie let out a chuckle before shaking his head. Then he stood up from his chair and walked out of the class, leaving everyone with dropped jaws."Did I do something?" I asked with a frown."No, he's just a grumpy ass," Toney mumbled with a smile. "Come on, let's study," he whispered softly.Nodding my head, I walked toward the empty seat next to Frank. By the time I was about to sit down, a guy from the back pushed the chair, making me fall.Immediately, I let out a cry of pain when I landed on the ground. "Sorry, didn't see you there, piggy," he said with a laugh, making everyone join in the laughter.My eyes welled up with tears as I continued to stare at the boy.

Amelia's Point of View:For the past week, it's only been bullying; people would call me names like "Piggy bank," "Fat Amelia," "Moo" as if I were a cow. They never pushed me or anything, just laugh and make fun of me.As for Lucie, all he does is watch; he never spoke to me, just watched. The other girl with Pink hair made it worst. Sometimes she would pour things at me, pull my hair, and put her legs out so I could fall. But she only did it when I was alone, when the boys were not with me.As for my dad and brother, they had no idea what was going on with my school life. They kept asking me, though, but I didn't want to tell them. I liked this town because of Toney and Frank, and I didn't want to leave."Is piggy all by herself!" I heard Jake said with a smirk. His fingers laughed loudly while looking at me. But I just rolled my eyes and looked away. Just stay quiet and they'll leave."What, you can't talk anymore? Come to think of it, I haven't heard you speak before. Are you

Amelia's Point of View:"Dad, please, please just let me stay," I begged my father for the 11th time.Ace let out a chuckle before shaking his head."Are you that naive?" Ace asked with a raised eyebrow.I quickly looked away, not wanting them to see me sad."I just want to say goodbye to my friends; I'll leave for real," I mumbled softly."Fine, you have just an hour. Your uncle will be here soon," Dad said with a sigh.I smiled at him before wrapping my arms around him and whispered a soft "Thank you.""But your brother will follow you and bring you back here," he ordered.Nodding my head, I rushed towards my room to grab my phone; all my things were packed up.Dad wasn't joking; the moment he saw the video, he called my uncle. He is rich and rude if I must say. All my Dad's brothers are rude, even my brother, but not to me. He told my uncle to keep an eye on me and train me to be strong and not weak, which he accepted immediatelyNow he was on his way here, and he told me to get

Amelia's Point of ViewThe drive home was unusually silent. Ace and Angel had left in a hurry, no doubt to process everything privately. Meanwhile, I found myself in a car with my father and Uncle Nick, the two men who had just uncovered secrets that could have shattered us all.Lucie’s hand rested on mine, his thumb gently stroking the back of it in reassurance.I leaned into his warmth, grateful for his steady presence. Today had been a whirlwind, and I wasn’t sure how to feel about any of it.My mind kept circling back to Morana. Her confession had been shocking, but the CCTV footage… that was the nail in the coffin. Seeing everything play out, hearing the heated argument, and watching the chaos unfold—it was like stepping into a nightmare.The way my father had reacted, the guilt that had clouded his face when Morana revealed the truth, stuck with me. He looked like a man who had been running from his demons for years, only to find them waiting for him all along.We arrived at m

Mike’s Point of ViewThe weight of their stares bore down on me like a hammer. Their expressions were etched with disbelief, anger, and betrayal. I had known this day might come, but I wasn’t prepared for the crushing silence that filled the room. It was deafening, worse than any words they could have hurled at me.Angel’s tear-streaked face was the first to pierce through my defenses. Her voice, shaky but firm, broke the silence.“Dad…” she said, her tone trembling between sorrow and rage. “Please tell me this isn’t true.”I let out a breath, heavy with the burden I had carried for nearly two decades. My hands trembled as I clenched them into fists at my sides. There was no escape now, no more lies to hide behind.“It’s true,” I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper. “I did it.”Gasps erupted around me, and I winced as if their collective shock were physical blows. My eyes darted to Angel again, hoping to find some semblance of understanding in her gaze, but all I saw was devast

Morana’s Point of ViewI stood there, my hands tucked into the pockets of my jacket, feeling the weight of everyone’s stares. The crisp afternoon air brushed against my skin, but it did nothing to cool the heat that burned in my chest. Eighteen years. I had waited eighteen years to speak the truth, and now, as I faced them, the moment felt heavier than I had imagined.Nick stood at the front, his expression hardened, but I could see the confusion in his eyes. He didn’t trust me he never had since that day. I couldn’t blame him. Not after what he saw.“Do you remember,” I began softly, my voice steady despite the chaos swirling inside me, “eighteen years ago when I told you to tell your brother to leave the country with Nancy and the kids?”Nick’s brow furrowed as he nodded, but his confusion deepened.“What does that have to do with anything?” he asked, his tone sharp, impatient.Letting out a slow breath, I turned my gaze to Mike. There he was the cause of all this pain. The man w

Uncle Nick’s Point of ViewThe morning air was crisp as I leaned against my desk, staring at the message on my phone for the hundredth time. Morana’s words haunted me:"I’m tired of hiding. Bring your family and meet me at this spot by 4 PM. I’ll come clean and tell you my part of the story."The text felt unreal, almost like a trick, but it was our first solid lead in years. Was this truly the end of our search? Could we finally put all of this behind us?Yet, I couldn’t shake the unease. Why now? Why after so many years of silence? And why would she want us all there?I pocketed my phone and made my way to the living room, where Ace and Amelia were already waiting. They both looked tense, their eyes betraying a mix of anticipation and distrust. Lucie stood beside Amelia, his protective stance clear as day. Angel sat close to Ace, her presence a calming force in the storm that brewed between us.Then there was Mike Angel’s father. He had been jittery since the message came through,

Uncle Nick's Point of ViewThe weight of the meeting still lingered in my mind as I paced my office. Mike’s sudden decision to leave everything behind gnawed at me. It didn’t make sense. Mike was never one to back down, not without a reason, and certainly not when it came to protecting his daughter, Angel.I ran a hand through my graying hair, my jaw clenched. My mind spun with theories, but none seemed to stick. Something wasn’t adding up.“This isn’t over,” I muttered, slamming my hand against the desk.I looked out the window, the city lights twinkling in the night. The world moved on as if nothing was amiss, but I knew better. Secrets had a way of bubbling to the surface, and in this family, secrets were our currency—and our downfall."I’m also a Mafia leader," I said aloud to myself, the words biting with bitterness. How could I, Nick Sinclair, who built an empire on loyalty and fear, be standing in the shadows, clueless about what was happening right under my nose?Shaking my

Mike’s Point of ViewSitting in my office, I stared out the window, watching the world move along as if nothing had happened. But my chest was heavy, my mind racing. My daughter, Angel, was too close to discovering the truth. Her determination to find Morana terrified me.For years, I had buried the truth, locked it away in the deepest corners of my mind, and covered it with layers of lies. But now, with Morana’s name being spoken again, the past I had tried so hard to forget was clawing its way back to the surface.I picked up my glass of whiskey, my hands trembling as I took a sip. My mind wandered to that day eighteen years ago when everything changed.It was a cold evening. The air was thick with tension as I stood in the dimly lit room, the gun heavy in my hand. Morana was across from me, her arms crossed, her face as stoic as ever.“Since you don’t want to get the job done, I guess you go,” I said, my voice steady but my heart pounding.She didn’t flinch. Morana was never one

Ace’s Point of ViewThe drive back to the mansion was silent, tension hanging in the air like a thick fog. Angel sat beside me in the passenger seat, her hands folded tightly in her lap. Her knuckles were pale, her expression unreadable as she stared out the window.My mind was racing. Uncle Nick’s revelation about Morana had been a bombshell none of us were prepared for. The idea that our mother’s death wasn’t due to illness but murder by someone we trusted was unbearable.I gripped the steering wheel tighter, the leather creaking under my palms. “I can’t believe he kept this from us,” I muttered, breaking the silence.Angel glanced at me, her expression softening. “Ace, he thought he was protecting you and Amelia,” she said gently.“Protecting us?” I scoffed. “By lying to us our whole lives? By letting us believe our mother died of natural causes when it was anything but?”Her hand reached out to touch mine, but I pulled away, my frustration too raw to accept comfort.“Nick had no
