SLOANE’S POINT OF VIEW.

My throat bobbed from the force of my harsh swallow. It felt like my ears were bleeding, like I wasn’t in a real place, like my father….the man I thought had raised me from the moment I was born up till now, was speaking such words to me, and in such a tone. Especially when he had never spoken like this to me.

Ever.

“And now that your pathetic little family has reunited, just know this, I’m coming for what’s rightfully mine, even if I have to fucking snuff you out by finally finishing what I started years ago, I’ll fucking do it. And no one, not Valerian, not Genevieve, not your fucking Ravenscroft boyfriend, who I have had to fucking work for all this time, will save you from me. All that fortune, it will be mine! And a spoiled brat like you will never take it away from me.

“But why….why did you do all this?

“You already know why… as the right questions, Sloane.”

    SLOANE’S POINT OF VIEW.A FEW DAYS LATER.It’s been three days since it felt like my world had cracked open, and for the first time in forever, I feel as though I can finally breathe again. I haven’t gone back to my….well, Reginald’s house ever since the night of the play. It felt wrong to even think about setting foot in there, let alone spending a night there.My entire life was a lie, and I don’t even know how to deal with it.Instead, I’d been staying with Amara. Lucien didn’t like it, though; he wanted me to come with him to his house, but the thought of spending the night under the same roof as Eldric Ravenscroft… it didn’t feel right for some reason.I placed my AirPods in my ears, blocking out the outside world, as music blasted in my ears. All I wanted to do was hide….at least for some time. It felt like I was in a dream, and in a few hours, I’d wake up from the nightmare.Valerian has been quite literally everywhere I turn. He’s showing up at Amara’s place, wanting to talk t

    SLOANE’S POINT OF VIEW.Lucien places me gently on the soft, cushion-like couch backstage, and kisses my forehead softly before asking;“Are you okay? Any panic attacks?”“No, I’m just….this is so weird,” I reply, a humourless chuckle escaping my lips, as I clutch the sides of the couch tightly.“Do you want anything? I can have them leave if you need them to.” He offers, but for some reason….I wanted to know the truth.Before I can tell him not to worry, Valerian, Ms Vale, Seraphina, and Ace walk through the curtains, their footsteps soft as they walk closer to us.“Sloane.” Valerian breathes out, but Lucien isn’t having it, because he rises to his feet and fixes Valerian with a harsh glare.“Do you realise what you’ve done? She’s fucking scared, and it’s all because you didn’t fucking think before acting.”“Believe me, this was the best way we could have gone. We spoke to a specialist, and he advised us to tread carefully because of the hypnosis you were under. If we had done anyt

    SLOANE'S POINT OF VIEW.Before I could even blink, they rushed towards us with their cameras and microphones, their gazes excited and eager for the next big scoop or juicy details. “Sloane, did you know about this?” One asked, jutting his microphone to my lips, almost shoving it on my face. Before I could ever speak, Lucien rushed on stage and pushed the reporter back. “Can’t you see she’s in fucking shock? Step the fuck back!” He snarls at them and pulls me to his side protectively. Even as I hid behind him, I could see their flashing lights as they took pictures of everything and everyone on stage.“Mr Valerian…care to explain how all this happened? We would like to know how you found out about this. And how sure are you?”“You really believe this fucking fake? Where’s your proof that she’s really your daughter?” Roxanne yells from where she sits, her face red with what looks like shock.“I brought proof.” Valerian- my Father exclaims, and I see him reach into his breast pocket,

    SLOANE'S POINT OF VIEW.The lights felt too bright.All I could focus on was the loud ringing in my ears, as I stood on the huge stage with the rest of the cast. For some reason, Seraphina had walked on stage as well and stood beside Ace, her expression stony. It felt as though the lights burned my eyelids, making me feel like they were bleeding and on fire, as my head pounded with a massive headache.What’s wrong with me?My body feels like it’s underwater, heavy and slow, every movement a delayed echo, rippling through me like I’d been hit by a massive wave.Applause ripples in the distance, but it sounds muffled and warped, like I’m hearing it through glass walls. My body feels like it’s lifting, and all I want to do is collapse.I blink. Once. Twice. The velvet curtain looms before me, and my chest rises and falls too quickly. I shouldn’t feel like this.A whisper coils in the back of my head, a phantom voice I almost recognise. I barely hear it through my jagged breathing, but by

    SLOANE’S POINT OF VIEW.“Everhart…isn’t that…Ace’s name?” I whispered.“Yes, it is, Sloane. I’m his father.”“Oh, did I say that out loud?”“Yes, you did.” He said, chuckling, and I wanted the earth to swallow me whole.“Oh, sorry. I was just curious.” I said, embarrassed.“It’s alright, Sloane. I hope to see you on stage tonight. I’m told you’re fantastic.” He said, not once looking away from me. For some reason, his eyes evoked something in me….I have no idea what it is, but for some reason, my nerves felt like a bundle, as my skin tingled softly.“Yes, sir.”I nodded, pulling my hand from his, and walking away so he and Ms Vale could speak.“She’s just as you said she was.” I heard him whisper as I walked away.In no time, it was time for the play to start.“Places, everyone!” Ms Vale called shrilly, clapping her hands loudly as she did the final touches on everyone’s costumes.“Break a leg, Sloane,” Ace called from beside me, flashing me a wink before staring ahead.“You too, Ace.
