“Tell me, who is she?”

“She’s someone from the orphanage mommy,” Lily chimed in, “We’ve been trying to get a name, or information but my server’s not working.”

She shut the laptop with a huff, running her hands through her hair.

“So far,” Leo continued, “All we know is she’s not Aunt Lovie, but who else could she be?”

I leaned against the door, their words sinking in. There was only one other person she could and the thought made my chest tighten.

I pulled out my phone and dialed a familiar number, the person on the other end picked up almost immediately.

“Bella?”

“I need your help, Rade,” I said, running my hands through my hair. There was shuffling in the background before his voice returned.

“What happened?”

I recounted the events since she arrived and leaned against the wall waiting for his response.

“So, just between the two of us, you think it might be Adeline?”

The silence between us was heavier than a stack of bricks. Her name settled in my bones and I tried not to recall

    She was definitely Atlas’ daughter. “I… what?” “P-peace treaty, mama!” She said, turning to Leo as if it would make sense. Of course, their response was to burst into laughter. “Mommy!” she cried, “they! They said that! They! Argh!” she snapped, struggling with her limited vocabulary. “Boys!” I cleared my throat. “You shouldn’t tease your sister like that.”“She needed help with apologising, Mom.” Louis strolled forward, he seemed more carefree than I remembered. Something changed in the past few days and I wanted it to stay that way. “So, Leo and I came up with two words.”“The first two words they found on the wall in Daddy’s room. Sometimes, I wonder whose vocabulary is limited, hers or yours!”“Hey, Coco Face. You’re not the one getting into MIT so just shut it.”“Hold on, you’re getting into MIT?” I turned to Louis and pulled him into a hug. “Oh my gosh. My smart boy!” I kissed his cheeks and he wiggled out“Mom!”I chuckled. “I can’t wait to tell people at each brunch tha

    I groaned, my eyes fluttering open to bright lights. “What the—”“You passed out in the car,” I turned to see Atlas sitting beside me. “The doctor said it was because of the stress, trauma, and…”I frowned, sitting up. “And what?”He glanced around, as the answer was on the walls before he grinned. “We may or may not be expecting another baby.”“What?!”“Don’t — Don’t shout!”“Don’t shout? Atlas I’ve pushed out four babies, darned right I’ll shout if I want to! You need to keep yourself in check!”“Oh now, this is my fault? As if you vehemently refused all my advances, look at this one!” he flicked my head and I gasped. “Don’t hit me, I’m pregnant and serious, Atlas,” I sighed and he paused, his eyes tracing my features. “I… I don’t think I can do this. Not then, not now, I… a baby— pregnancy, it’s always a lot for me.”He reached out, taking my hands into his. “I’m sorry I wasn’t there for the first two. I never got to witness either. I… I’ve missed out on a lot of things peekaboo,

    The silence in the car was devastating, quiet, slow, and like a dagger sinking into my chest. I couldn’t form words, instead, I sank into the seat, watching the world pass by as I registered the betrayal. The betrayal that came from the only other person I thought was mine. “You’re not a bad person, Rade. You’re my best friend and—”“And your husband to be,” He turned to me. “I love you, Bella.”“It's Julia,” I corrected and he shook his head. “And I love Atlas.”“Which is why I’ll end his story today. I’ve called him to the border. There, several soldiers are protecting the country, there’ll be a terrorist attack, and between the two countries, tsk tsk tsk,” he shook his head. “One stray bullet will end him.”I shut my eyes, a tear rolling down my cheek. Rafe set Atlas up. I had to save him. I glanced at Rade, watching as he tossed his gun under his car seat. I was not a murderer. But, at this point, I woul

    “Atlas!” I cried, sitting up. I glanced around, eyes wide as I registered I was in a car, in the middle of… nowhere? Wait. I snapped to the side, my heart racing as brown eyes flickered to mine. “You…” I said, my heart racing. “Where are you taking me, Adeline?” I snapped. “What do you want now? How did you… How did you even get out of prison?!”“Shh.” She hissed, driving with a smug grin. “You shouldn’t talk too much, save your breath, because you’ll need it, Julia. Do you know where I’m taking you?”“Stop this nonsense and turn around, right now!” I snapped, “Where is Atlas? Where…” I trailed off, cradling my head as memories rushed back.I was with Atlas and then, I swam and someone grabbed me, they dragged me underwater so how did… How did I get here? “Adeline, you won’t get anything by doing this, trust me, you—““You’re so wrong!” She hit the brakes and I gasped, “I’ll get everything. Everything I want. I’m going to kill you and return as Atlas’ wife. He’ll be mine. I have on

    I held my breath as Atlas took a step forward, his grip on me loosening. “I knew you would make the right —“ The man was on the ground in a second, cradling his nose. Wait. What was going on? This wasn’t what I thought would happen. “Look,” Atlas glanced at me, scrunching his nose. “It looks like a love tap. Your attempt is cute, but this isn’t how you teach people a lesson, Peekaboo,”“I don’t understand!” The man, whom I’d now registered as Mr. York, snapped. “You’re siding with her? Do I need to remind you that you could lose—““First off,” Atlas snarled. “Lower your voice and gaze when you speak to me. Second, I couldn’t care less about anything if the bargain is my wife.”The man’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Y-Your wife?”“I also hate repeating myself, or being asked dumb questions by dumb people.” Atlas continued, running his hands through his hair.He snapped his fingers and a guard stepped forward. “Take out the trash.”“Mr. Volkan, you can’t do this, I—”“Wait.” Atlas tur
