"I can't take this anymore, Archie," I choked out. “Isabella.” He whispered softly pulling me in for a hug as I sobbed loudly. “I can’t live like this anymore. Living in the shadow of my sister, letting her treat me anyhow. I have had enough of this.” I cried out. “I can’t take it anymore, I’m tired.”“It’s okay, let it out. Let it all out.” He said stroking my hair gently. “Why does she derive joy in see

Archie felt a knot form in his stomach as his nephew, Alan, cornered him in the dimly lit corner of the room. “Why didn’t your pants catch on fire with all those lies you were spewing in your ridiculous speech.” Archibald sighed. “Alan, I don’t have the strength to deal with you. I have a girlfriend to look for.” Alan's eyes glinted with a cold determination as he stepped forward, his words dripping with venom.
