Clarissa’s POV

I didn’t remember grabbing my keys.One moment I had been standing in the middle of my living room, staring at nothing, the silence ringing so loudly in my ears it felt like pressure. The next, the cold metal was biting into my palm and my legs were already moving. My body had decided before my mind could catch up.

“Clarissa!”

Maya’s voice chased after me, sharp and urgent, like it was trying to hook into my spine and pull me back. I didn’t stop. I couldn’t. If I stopped, I would

    Clarissa’s POV “Forgive… you?” I echoed, confusion flooding my mind. “Dante, what are you talking about? You said she abandoned you…”“And I told you I misunderstood her,” he said, his voice rising slightly.There was something else there now. Something darker.“What did you do?” I asked, my heart pounding.For a moment, I thought he wouldn’t answer. That he would shut down again, retreat behind that wall he had built so carefully.But then he spoke.“I said things,” he admitted. “Things I can’t take back.”My stomach twisted.“What kind of things?”He looked away, his silence more telling than any words.“Dante…” I pressed, fear creeping into my voice. “What did you say to her?”“I told her,” he said slowly, “that she was dead to me.”The words hit like a physical blow.I staggered back slightly, my chest tightening.“You didn’t mean that,” I said quickly. “You were angry—”“I meant it enough for her to believe it,” he cut in.The weight of his guilt filled the space between us, suff

    Clarissa’s POV “Because she’s my sister.”The world tilted, I blinked, certain I had misheard him.“What?”“My sister,” he repeated, his voice steady.I stared at him, my mind struggling to process the words.“That’s… that’s not possible,” I said, shaking my head. “You…you never said…”“You never asked.”“That’s not the point!” I snapped, my heart racing. “You two don’t even act like siblings!”A bitter smile tugged at the corner of his lips.“Families don’t always look the way you expect them to.”I took a step back, trying to piece everything together. “So all this time… you knew?”“Yes.”“And you didn’t think to mention it?” My voice rose with disbelief. “Don’t you think that’s something I should have known?”“Why?” he shot back. “So you could treat her differently? So you could pretend to respect her just because of me?”“That’s not fair!”“Isn’t it?”His gaze bore into mine, searching, challenging.I hesitated and that was all the answer he needed.Dante exhaled slowly, shaking

    Clarissa’s POV Chelsea’s hand closed around my wrist, firm but not unkind. “Clarissa, come with me,” she said quietly, glancing over her shoulder like she didn’t want anyone to notice.I pulled my hand back.“No,” I said, my voice sharper than I intended. “I want to talk to Dante.”Her expression flickered with worry, hesitation, maybe even fear but before she could argue, Dante’s voice cut through the hallway.“Chelsea.”We both turned.He stood a few feet away, posture rigid, eyes unreadable. There was something cold in them, something I had never seen before. Not even on the worst days.“Take her to the car,” he said, nodding toward Reed’s wife, who was slumped against the wall, crying uncontrollably. “Stay there. Wait for me.”Chelsea hesitated. “But—”“Now.”It wasn’t loud, but it didn’t need to be.She nodded quickly, guiding the sobbing woman away. Reed’s wife barely resisted, her grief too consuming to question anything. I watched them go, my stomach tightening with every ste

If I stopped, I would think and if I thought, I would break.“I’m coming with you!” she added, breathless now, her footsteps echoing behind mine.I yanked the front door open so hard it slammed against the wall. The morning light felt offensive, too bright, too normal. How could the world look the same when everything had just ended?“And for God’s sake, wear something,” Maya said as she caught up to me on the porch. “You look like a mess.”I turned to her then like really turned.And I saw it, the flicker of fear in

    Clarissa’s POV The room had been dark for so long that it no longer felt like a place safe for a living person. I lay curled beneath the sheets, staring into nothing, letting the silence press down on me until even my thoughts felt distant. I just didn't want to think about anything, I wanted a world free from Dante and the woman he chose over me, Chelsea. Only the thought of her sending chills to my body.I didn’t want light. Light meant reality. Reality meant facing everything I had been trying so desperately to avoid.A sharp knock broke through the stillness but I ignored it.Another knock, louder this time. Then the door creaked open without permission.“Clarissa?”Maya’s voice sliced through the darkness like a blade. I shut my eyes tighter, as if that could make her disappear.“Why is it so dark in here?” she muttered.Before I could answer, the curtains were yanked open.Light flooded the room , such harsh, unforgiving, invasive lightning . I flinched, turning my face into the

    Dante's POV Chelsea was standing a few feet away from me in the hospital corridor, but it felt like she was miles out of reach. Her shoulders trembled as she cried, not just cried, she unraveled. It wasn’t loud at first. Just quiet, broken sounds that slipped out of her like something inside her had cracked beyond repair.I didn’t know what to say. That was the worst part.There are moments in life when words feel like weapons that you’re afraid that anything you say might make things worse. This was one of those moments. Every sentence formed in my head and died before it reached my lips.“Chelsea…” I tried, my voice barely holding together.She didn’t respond. She just kept staring at the floor, her hands clutched together so tightly her knuckles had turned pale. It was like she was trying to hold onto something invisible, something already gone.And I just stood there, useless. Everything already felt like it was spiraling out of control, and then she arrived.Reed’s wife.I heard
