**XANDER’S POV***I got home late in the evening, feeling exhausted. The day had been long and stressful. As I walked up the driveway, I noticed the house was unusually quiet.The lights were on, but there was an eerie stillness. I pushed open the front door and stepped inside.“Xander!” I heard my mom’s voice before I saw her. She came running from the living room, her face filled with a mix of anger and concern.“Have you seen the news?” she asked, breathless. “Adeline is all over the news. I told you she was terrible and not good for you.”I sighed, already feeling a headache coming on. “Mom, I…”“No, Xander, you need to listen,” she interrupted, her voice rising. “This girl, this Adeline, she’s been nothing but trouble. You should have known better.Sasha is perfect for our family. She’s respectful, kind, and from a good background.”“Mom, can we just talk about this next time.”“She’s always been there for you, Xander,” she continued, ignoring me.“Unlike Adeline, who’s only brou

***ADELINE’S POV*** I wanted to run away from everything. I was so tired and so done. I stared out the window of the small apartment I was staying in, feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders. Everything was falling apart, and I didn't know how to fix it. The scandal, the reporters, the hateful comments. It was all too much. I wanted to run away from everything and go back to New York, back to where I felt safe. My thoughts drifted to Mama, the woman who saved me five years ago. I could still remember the first time I met her. I was wandering the streets, lost and desperate, when she found me. Mama took me in, gave me a place to stay, and showed me kindness when I needed it most. One evening, I had told her about my dream. "I want to start a jewelry business," I said. She looked at me with a gentle smile. "Why will you want to stress yourself over a business? You can have everything you want." I shook my head. "Mama, I haven’t done anything in my life. I'm happy now bec

***SASHA’S POV*** I moved into the Devon’s mansion just as Xander’s mom instructed. The place was still grand, with large rooms and beautiful furniture. The walls were covered with paintings, and the floors were shiny and clean. I felt a little like a princess in a fairy tale. But it wasn’t as magical as it seemed the first time. Xander’s mom, welcomed me warmly. She hugged me and said, “Sasha, you are like a daughter to me. I’m so happy you’re here.” “Thank you, Mrs. Devon,” I replied, trying to sound cheerful. But inside, I felt nervous. A few days after I moved in, I saw Xander. He looked tired and stressed. When he saw me, he just nodded and walked past without saying a word. I felt a pang in my heart. I had hoped he would be happy to see me or even be civil at least but he didn’t even smile. Later, I went to Mrs. Devon, tears streaming down my face. “Xander won’t talk to me,” I sobbed. She hugged me and patted my back. “Don’t worry, dear. He’s just stressed. He’ll come aro

***ADELINE’S POV*** I stared at a very agitated Sasha who stood in my office, her eyes narrowed with anger. She had burst in without knocking. I remained calm, sitting at my desk, my hands folded in front of me. "What do you mean by that?" Sasha asked, eyeing me suspiciously. "You really got involved with Tristan, you fool," I said, my voice steady. “What about him?” She asked, her face twisted with anger. "Well, I have nothing to tell you," I snapped. "You said leave my office." But Sasha didn't move. Instead, she stepped closer, her eyes burning with curiosity and rage. "Tell me about Tristan," she demanded. "What happened between you two?" I shook my head. "I have nothing to say to you, Sasha. Now, leave my office." Sasha's anger only grew. "You think you're so high and mighty, Adeline. But I'll make sure when I'm done with you, you won't live to tell the story." I met her gaze without flinching. "Do your worst, Sasha. Nothing will happen. You're just curious about Tristan,

***SASHA’S POV*** I sat on the plush chair in my living room, staring at Ben with a mischievous grin. He paced back and forth, clearly anxious about what I had just told him. Finally, he stopped and faced me, his eyes wide with concern. "What do you mean you're going to jump from her office window?" he asked angrily. "You'd fall to your death!" he exclaimed. I laughed heartily, shaking my head. "Of course, I won't fall," I said, trying to ease his worries. "You have to come at the right time with them. You must get there at the perfect time." He looked at me, still unsure. "Sasha, this sounds dangerous. Why would you even think of doing something like this?" I leaned forward, my eyes sparkling with excitement. "Ben, it's not what you think. I'm not actually going to jump. It's part of the plan to get Adeline agitated. If we do this right, she'll be so flustered she won't know what to do, and then you bring in the reporters. They need to see her at her worst, and we'll catch ev

ADELINE’S POV***"Sasha, please get back inside," I pleaded, my voice trembling. "It's not safe."She didn’t seem to hear me. Instead, she leaned out further, her head and shoulders now outside the window."Sasha!" I cried out, panic rising in my chest. "Please, come back in! You're going to fall!"She laughed again, completely ignoring my pleas. "Relax, Adeline. I’m just having a little fun."My hands were shaking as I took a step towards her. "Sasha, please. This isn’t funny. You could get hurt."But she continued to lean out further, her whole upper body now outside the window. My heart pounded in my chest, and I felt tears prickling at the corners of my eyes."Sasha, stop it! Please!" I begged, my voice cracking."I’m scared for you. Please, come back inside."Still, she didn’t listen. She was almost completely outside the window now, and I felt a wave of terror wash over me.I rushed towards her, my hands reaching out to grab her and pull her back in. "Sasha, no!"Just as my fing

***XANDER’S POV*** I hadn't gone home since Adeline came to live with us. There was no time to argue or fight with my mom, so I stayed in my private home. Every day felt longer, and the minutes dragged by. My thoughts were always on Adeline. I hadn't seen her since she left my house, and like her usual self, she wasn't calling either. I wanted to know what she was doing about the whole situation since the news about her seemed to still be spreading even more. That morning, I sat in my office, staring at my computer screen. Papers were scattered across my desk, but I couldn't focus. My mind was filled with thoughts of Adeline. What was she doing? How was she handling everything? I couldn't stop thinking about her. "Mr. Devon, you have a meeting at ten," my assistant reminded me, standing at the doorway. "Cancel it," I said, not looking up. "But it's with Mr. Thompson," she insisted. "I don't care. Cancel everything for today," I replied, still absent-minded. The office was qui

***SASHA ‘S POV***I went to the police station and gave my statement. It took hours as I tried to recount everything and make it so dramatic. I felt relieved when it was finally over.The police were nice. They believed me. They said they would take care of everything and Adeline was already in custody. When I left, I felt a bit lighter and smiled brightly since her life would be ruined and she’d get out of my business forever.When I got home, Xander's mom, Mrs. Devon, rushed to me. She hugged me tight and led me slowly to sit on the couch."Sasha, what happened to you?" she asked, her voice full of concern.I sniffed, tears welling up in my eyes. "It was horrible," I began, my voice shaking. "Adeline... Adeline tried to kill me."Mrs. Devon's eyes widened in shock. She hugged me tighter. "Oh, Sasha, I'm so sorry. Tell me everything. I saw the news. I couldn’t even believe she’d go this far to hurt you."I took a deep breath. "It happened in my office. Adeline came in. She looked so

MATT’S POV***I woke up to the buzzing of my phone. Groggy, I reached over and squinted at the screen. It was Jess, my buddy from the TV station. She was always in the know about everything, good or bad."Matt, turn on the TV. You won't believe what's going on," she said urgently.I rubbed my eyes and stumbled out of bed, switching on the TV in the living room. The news anchor's voice filled the air, reporting something that made my heart sink."Adeline Thompson, socialite and entrepreneur, has been arrested under house arrest after allegedly attempting to kill Sasha Thompson, her sister."I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Adeline, arrested? Attempting to kill Sasha? It made no sense.My mind raced back to when Adeline had come to me, pleading for understanding after the sugar baby scandal broke out. She wanted me to stay calm, not be angry with her. I had refused, upset and confused because she won’t date me.Now, seeing her in this new scandal, I felt a pang of guilt.I grabbed

ADELINE’S POV***For three days, I had been under house arrest. No visitors, no calls. I didn't want anyone around me. I was tired and scared.My once beautiful mansion felt like a cage. The curtains were drawn, blocking out the sunlight. I felt trapped in my own home, the walls closing in on me. The silence was heavy, suffocating.The only person I allowed to see me was Clarissa. But even she was becoming too much."Adeline," Clarissa sobbed for what felt like the hundredth time. "I don't know how this happened. How did it come to this?"I sighed, pressing my fingers to my temples. Her crying was getting on my nerves. I loved Clarissa, but I couldn't take much more of this."Clarissa, please," I said, my voice sharp. "Stop crying. I can't think with you crying all the time."She looked at me with red, swollen eyes. "I'm sorry, Adeline. I just can't believe this is happening.""Neither can I," I replied, my voice softer now. "But we need to stay strong. Crying won't solve anything."S
