All Chapters of Torned (The Alpha's Secret Babies): Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Emma's POVI sighed, flopping onto my bed, surrounded by the familiar comforts of my room. But even the softness of my pillow and the warmth of my blanket couldn't ease the knot of frustration in my stomach.Everything was a mess.Nothing was going the way I wanted.Carly and Luca's drama was tearing our family apart.And April's been acting strange lately.Distant.Quiet.Something was bothering her, but she wouldn't talk.I thought about my family, about how close we used to be.Gabe, always the rock, the one who kept us together.Carly, with her bright smile and infectious laughter.April, my partner in crime, my confidante.And Lucien, our little brother, always getting into mischief.But now?Now everything was different.Carly's heartbreak hung over us like a cloud.April's secrecy was eating away at me.And Lucien?He seemed lost in his own world.I couldn't shake the feeling that I was losing control.That everything was spiraling out of my grasp.I needed to do something.To

Emma's POVThe dinner table buzzed with conversation and clinking silverware.Everyone savored Gabe's signature roast beef.I watched, smiling, as April and Carly laughed together.But my attention kept drifting to Lucien and Krisdana.Their eye contact was undeniable.Krisdana's gaze sparkled with mischief.Lucien's eyes crinkled at the corners, his expression soft.I sensed an undercurrent between them.Tension.Attraction.Defiance.Krisdana's voice cut through my thoughts."Lucien, pass the potatoes, please."Lucien complied, their fingers touching.Krisdana's eyes flashed with attitude."I hope you know we're still fighting," she whispered.Lucien's lips curved into a sly smile."Oh, I'm counting on it," he replied.My radar pinged.What was going on between them?Gabe, oblivious to the subtleties, engaged Augustine in conversation.Rosaline and Camilla remained frosty toward Krisdana.April tried to keep the conversation light."Krisdana, have you traveled anywhere exciting?" Ap

Camilla's POVAs I surveyed our living room, I felt a sense of satisfaction.Everything was falling into place.One by one.Lucien was taking tentative steps to reconcile with Krisdana.Rosaline was slowly forgiving Krisdana, the tension between them dissipating.The atmosphere in our home was transforming.But two people caught my attention.April and Carly.April fidgeted, her eyes avoiding everyone.She had a secret.One she'd confided in me, tears streaming down her face.Her addiction.To prescription pills.A crutch to cope with stress.I knew she wanted to announce it to the family.But she hesitated.Fear of judgment?Fear of rejection?What if they didn't understand?What if they turned their backs on her?Carly, on the other hand, wore a mask.A bright smile.But her eyes betrayed her.Unhappiness lingered.A deep sadness.Dad noticed.I saw him glance at Carly, concern flickering across his face.But he said nothing.Of course, he said nothing.He was the cause of Carly's

April's POVI took a deep breath and let the words spill out, like a dam breaking. "I'm an addict," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "I'm addicted to prescription pills, opioids, and other substances." The room fell silent, except for Augustine's sudden burst of laughter."Oh, April, you're joking!" he exclaimed, chuckling uncontrollably. "What kind of drugs do you take? Vitamin C or Paracetamol?" His laughter cut deep, making my face burn with shame. How could he not understand? Didn't he see the pain in my eyes?But then, Camilla stood up, her eyes flashing with anger. "It's true," she said, her voice firm. "Aunt April's been struggling with addiction." Her words were like a lifeline, pulling me back from the brink of despair.The room froze, like time itself had stopped. Lucien's smile faltered, Carly's eyes widened in shock, Emma's face fell, Gabe's expression turned somber, and Rosaline's mouth hung open. Augustine's laughter died abruptly, replaced by an awkward silence.

April's POVI arrived at the designated studio, eager for my private art session with Max. The door was slightly ajar, and I pushed it open, expecting to see Max setting up. Instead, I froze. Max stood with his back to me, his lips locked on a woman's. My heart plummeted.The woman's laughter echoed through the room as Max pulled back, smiling. "Hey, babe," he said, his voice dripping with affection. My mind reeled as I processed the scene. Max, the charming art instructor, had a girlfriend. I felt like I'd been punched in the gut.The woman turned, noticing me standing there. Her eyes narrowed. "Can we help you?" she asked, her tone icy. Max spun around, his expression mortified. "April, I...I didn't expect you so soon." I forced a weak smile. "Sorry to interrupt. I didn't know you were...occupied."Max took a step forward, his eyes pleading. "April, this is Sophia, my girlfriend." The words stung. I nodded curtly. "Nice to meet you." Sophia's gaze lingered on me, her expression triu
