chapter 111

The old mansion loomed before us, its stone façade weathered by time but still holding a quiet majesty. It had been years since I’d stepped foot here. The memories it held—both good and bad—felt like a heavy cloak draped over my shoulders.The house was bustling with activity as the boys unloaded the last of Dad’s belongings from the car. Dad sat in a wheelchair on the front porch, overseeing everything with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes."Let’s get ready," Mike said firmly as he carried another box inside. "We leave in two days for Dad’s follow-up appointment. Make sure everything’s settled here by then."He didn’t wait for a response, disappearing into the house without a backward glance.Dad turned to me, his eyes soft. "Elizabeth," he said, his voice gentle but tired, "you should go talk to your siblings. I’m fine for now. I think I’ll rest once they’re done."I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. This house felt suffocating, not because of its size but because of

chapter 112

The morning sun cast a golden glow over the mansion, filtering through the curtains and illuminating the busy scene inside. Everyone was moving about, packing up the last of their belongings. Boxes were scattered in the hallways, filled with memories of a home that had seen its share of joy and heartbreak.Today marked the beginning of a new chapter, a chance for us to start over as a family. At least, that was the plan.I stood in the kitchen, sipping a cup of coffee and watching the chaos unfold. Mike was barking orders at the movers, Leo was trying to organize our luggage, and Ryan was nowhere to be found, probably avoiding the madness like usual. Dad sat in his wheelchair by the window, silently observing with a faint smile on his face."Elizabeth," a familiar voice called from behind me.I turned to see Zake leaning against the doorway, his blue hair messy as always and his hands shoved into the pockets of his jeans."Morning," I greeted, forcing a smile."Got a minute?" he asked

chapter 113

The quiet of his office was deafening, save for the occasional creak of the leather chair beneath him as he leaned back, staring at the ceiling. Mr. Black’s mind was far from the pile of documents stacked neatly on his desk or the contracts awaiting his signature. His thoughts, as always, had drifted to Elizabeth."My little queen," he murmured under his breath, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips.It was rare for Xavier wood to feel unsure of himself, but when it came to Elizabeth, everything about him softened, unraveled even. She had a way of turning his calculated, sharp edges into something unrecognizable, and he couldn’t decide if that made him stronger or weaker.He pulled his phone from his pocket, his thumb hovering over the screen. He had Mike’s number ready to dial, his thumb almost pressing the call button. But he stopped, sighing deeply.“She needs time,” he said, as if saying it aloud would make it easier to bear.His gaze shifted to the photo on his desk. It

chapter 114

The morning was crisp and calm, a stark contrast to the whirlwind of emotions that had consumed the family over the past few weeks. Mike adjusted the cuffs of his suit jacket, casting a glance at the mansion one last time before stepping into his car. Today marked the start of a new chapter—not just for his family but for him personally.He had a job waiting for him at one of the most prestigious firms in the city, a position he’d been offered months ago but had postponed accepting due to the chaos at home. Now, with his father recovering and his siblings finding their own paths, it was time for him to step into a new role, both professionally and as a man of the family.Mike took a deep breath as he settled into the backseat of his black SUV, his driver pulling out of the long driveway. The morning sun glinted off the polished exterior, and the hum of the engine was a soothing reminder of control—something he hadn’t felt in a long time.Before leaving, Mike had stopped by his father’

chapter 115

The morning sun bathed the mansion in a warm glow, but the tension inside the house was anything but comforting. Elizabeth sat at the kitchen counter, sipping her coffee, her mind preoccupied with the stranger Mike had brought home the night before.Her thoughts swirled as she replayed the scene in her head—Mike stepping into the mansion with the woman, his face hard and unreadable as he offered no explanation beyond a curt statement: “She needed help.”Elizabeth wasn’t against helping others, but she couldn’t ignore the unease settling in her chest. They were new to this country, trying to start fresh. Bringing a stranger into their home seemed reckless, especially after all they had been through.The sound of footsteps pulled her from her thoughts. Turning, she saw the woman—Rose—enter the room. Her movements were timid, almost as if she were trying not to disturb anything.“So, what’s your name?” Elizabeth asked, her tone polite but laced with curiosity.The woman glanced up, her p

chapter 116

Leo's point of View:Leo parked his car in the driveway of the mansion. He let out a tired sigh, loosening his tie as he grabbed his briefcase from the passenger seat. It had been a long day at work, and all he wanted was to relax with his family and catch up on what he’d missed during his absence.As he approached the front door, he noticed a woman with strikingly colored hair stepping out of the house. Her pink locks shimmered under the porch light, making her impossible to miss.“Huh,” he mumbled to himself, stopping in his tracks. His eyes followed her as she walked briskly toward the gate, glancing around nervously as if afraid someone might spot her.Leo frowned. “Who’s that?”For a moment, he considered calling out to her, but she disappeared down the street before he could make a decision.“Maybe a maid,” he muttered under his breath, though her vibrant hair didn’t quite fit the description. Shrugging it off, he resumed his path to the door, curiosity lingering in the back of

chapter 117

Mike adjusted his tie in the rearview mirror, his expression unreadable as he sat in his car outside the small café. The sign above the entrance read Sweet Brews, the name written in a soft, cursive font that contrasted sharply with his brooding demeanor.He didn’t know why he was here.Ever since Rose had stepped into his life—unintentionally, at that—she had lingered in his thoughts. It was a strange feeling, one he didn’t quite understand and wasn’t sure he liked. There was something about her, something that unsettled him but also intrigued him.Letting out a sigh, he turned off the engine and stepped out of the car. The cool breeze tousled his hair as he walked toward the café, his polished shoes clicking softly against the pavement.“Just see if she’s okay,” he muttered under his breath, trying to convince himself that his visit was purely out of concern.The café was quaint, with warm lighting and soft jazz playing in the background. A few customers sat at scattered tables, sip

chapter 118

The hum of the engine filled the quiet cabin of Mike’s car as he drove through the bustling city streets. He didn’t know why he was going to Rose’s workplace, but something about her lingered in his mind since she left the house. There was an air of mystery about her, a pull he couldn’t quite explain.The small café she worked at came into view. It was quaint, with a simple sign hanging above the door that read Amber Brew. Parking his car across the street, Mike leaned back for a moment, his fingers drumming on the steering wheel.“This is stupid,” he muttered. But his curiosity outweighed the nagging voice in his head.As Mike stepped inside, the warm aroma of freshly brewed coffee enveloped him. The café was modestly busy, with a few customers scattered around small tables. At the counter, Rose stood with her back to him, her pink hair catching the light. She was focused, diligently preparing an order.Before he could call out to her, a sharp voice cut through the air.“Rose! What i

chapter 119

The next day, Mike found himself standing outside Rose’s café again. Something about her expression the previous night stayed with him—the way she smiled but didn’t let it reach her eyes. He wanted to make sure she was okay, maybe even offer her a way out of the mess with her boss.When she stepped out of the café, her face lit up briefly when she saw him, but it quickly darkened.“Mike,” she said, her tone clipped. “Why are you here again?”“I wanted to check on you,” he said, ignoring the sharpness in her voice.“I’m fine,” she replied curtly, brushing past him and walking down the street.“Rose, wait,” he called after her, jogging to catch up. “What’s wrong?”She stopped abruptly, spinning around to face him. Her pink hair shimmered under the sunlight, but her eyes were stormy.“What’s wrong?” she echoed, her voice rising. “You storm into my workplace, confront my boss like you own the place, and now you’re following me around like some… knight in shining armor. That’s what’s wrong

chapter 120

Rose smoothed down the fabric of her blue dress for what felt like the hundredth time. She stood in front of the mirror, her reflection staring back at her with an expression she couldn’t quite place. Nervousness? Excitement? Fear? Maybe it was all of the above.She wasn’t used to wearing dresses, especially not ones as nice as this. Her usual wardrobe consisted of jeans, oversized sweaters, and aprons splattered with coffee stains. But today was different. Today, she was going to work for Mike.The idea still didn’t sit right with her. Not because she didn’t appreciate the opportunity—she did. It was just... strange. Why was he being so kind? Why did he care so much about her life, her struggles?Rose wasn’t used to this kind of attention from anyone, let alone a man like Mike.“He probably just feels guilty for causing problems with Mr. Heller,” she muttered to herself, biting her lip as she adjusted her dress again.But even as she tried to convince herself of that, her heart would
