The event continued normally after that.

Like nothing had happened.

Like my chest wasn’t still burning from irritation.

At the front of the hall, the president of the school stepped toward the microphone with a warm smile.

“We’re extremely honored to have this scholarship funded by Mr. Kings this year,” she said. “This opportunity will help children who otherwise may never have access to this kind of education.”

Soft applause filled the hall again.

I leaned back slightly in my chair, forcing my

    “Camille,” I said softly.Her shoulders trembled slightly, but she still didn’t look up. “Camille.”My voice came out gentler this time.“Look at me.”Slowly, she lifted her head. Her eyes were glassy already. Red around the edges.I swallowed against the heaviness rising inside my chest.“You’re going to get the justice you deserve,” I told her carefully. “We’ll make sure of that.”For a second, she just stared at me. Like she didn’t know what to do with kindness.Then a tear finally slipped down her face.Her lips parted slightly before she whispered, “Thank you.”Her voice broke badly on the second word.“You don’t have to worry about anything anymore,” Pierce said quietly from across the table. “We’re here for you.”That did it.Camille broke completely.A soft sob escaped her throat before she covered her mouth quickly, as if she was trying to stop herself from crying too loudly.My chest tightened instantly.I moved my chair closer without thinking and placed my hand carefully

    The dining room stayed silent after Camille’s last words.My worst nightmare.The words sat heavily in the air.Camille kept staring down at her hands like she already regretted saying anything at all.I watched the way her fingers twisted together tightly in her lap.Nervous.Almost trembling.Then finally, she spoke again.“It all started when my mother died ten years ago.”Her voice came out quieter this time.“I was sixteen, and my aunt… Mrs. Ashford… took me in.”She swallowed once before continuing.“She was nice to me. Really nice.” A sad smile touched her lips briefly before disappearing again. “But Richard and Selena never wanted me there. They tolerated me because my aunt wanted me to stay with them,” Camille continued softly. “But everything changed five years ago.”Something about the way she said that made my stomach tighten immediately.“My aunt always visited my mother’s grave with me every year on her death anniversary.” Her eyes lowered further. “So on the fifth anniv

    Out of the corner of my eye, I caught Ford looking at Pierce.Then Pierce looked at me.The side-eye exchange alone almost made me laugh.Oh God.“What a gentleman,” Ford said seriously as he placed a piece of steak onto Hayes’s plate.“For real, bro,” Pierce added with a solemn nod.I lowered my head immediately to hide my smile.These idiots.Couldn’t even pretend to behave normally in front of a guest.“Don’t even say anything, Pierce,” Ford continued. “Or maybe we should talk about Natasha.”Hayes chuckled quietly into his drink.“Yes,” I said immediately as I pointed my fork toward Ford. “About that. I forgot to ask. Thanks for reminding me.”Pierce rolled his eyes dramatically. “There’s nothing to talk about.”“Oh, there is, Pee,” I replied instantly. “Come on. Spill.”Pierce pointed his fork at me accusingly. “We don’t want to do this in front of our guest.”I glanced toward Camille.She had paused eating now and was quietly watching us before immediately looking back down at h

    I headed upstairs once the food was fully arranged on the table.The house felt calmer now.Not quiet exactly.I could still hear Pierce and Ford talking downstairs, their voices carrying faintly through the hallway, but it felt normal.I stopped in front of the guest room door and knocked softly before pushing it open.Camille was lying on the bed.One arm was beneath her head while she stared blankly at the ceiling, as if she was somewhere far away in her mind.She turned slightly when she heard me walk in.My chest tightened a little immediately.Her eyes were swollen.Red too.She had definitely cried after I left earlier.But now she was changed into an oversized hoodie and softer-looking sweatpants, her dark hair slightly messy around her shoulders.She looked more comfortable physically.Emotionally though?Not even close.“Dinner is ready,” I said softly.Camille hesitated briefly before sitting up slowly.“Okay.”She got off the bed quietly and followed me downstairs.The clo

    I collapsed onto the middle of my bed the second I entered my room. Flat on my back. Still in my heels. For a few seconds, I just stared at the ceiling without moving. The house was quiet up here. Too quiet after the kind of day I’d had. My body felt heavy. I closed my eyes briefly and exhaled slowly through my nose. I had gone through a lot. Now seeing Camille like this broke something inside me. I swallowed hard and pressed the heels of my palms briefly against my eyes. Deep down, I knew that Camille’s situation was definitely bigger than it seemed. My phone buzzed against the nightstand beside the bed. I frowned slightly before reaching for it. A message from Mia. Tomorrow’s schedule. I opened it lazily, scanning through the meetings absentmindedly until one line made my stomach tighten slightly. Kings Company — 11:00 a.m. I stared at the screen for a few seconds. So he actually made an appointment. A humorless breath escaped me quietly. Of

    I knocked softly against the guest room door before pushing it open slowly.The room was quiet.Camille sat near the large window beside the bed, her body turned slightly toward the fading evening light outside. She had changed already. Fresh clothes. Her dark hair looked slightly damp near the ends like she had washed her face recently.But somehow she still looked exhausted.She turned quickly when she heard the door open.For a second, something nervous crossed her face before she immediately tried to compose herself again.I gave her a small smile as I walked further inside.“How’re you feeling?”Camille lowered her eyes almost immediately.“I’m doing better,” she said quietly. “Thanks to you.”Her voice still sounded careful.Like she was afraid of saying the wrong thing.Before I could respond, she spoke again quickly.“Thank you for letting me stay here tonight.” Her fingers tightened together slightly on her lap. “And I’m really sorry for inconveniencing your family. I promise
