Cassie's POV

Somehow I was back on the plane. My hands were around the gun, aimed at the hijacker from earlier.

I knew what was going to happen next, but I couldn’t stop it as my body moved on its own. I shut my eyes tightly as my finger pulled the trigger.

Though I was expecting the loud bang that followed, I still wasn't prepared for how loud it was. It was just as bad as the first time it had happened. And then I fired another shot, my ears ringing.

Somewhere, faint, like underwater—someone was calling me. My name.

“...ssie...”

I froze, head jerking up, but the room around me blurred like smoke.

Then Quentin's cry, snapped my gaze back to mom.

Just like before, I grabbed a first aid kit and ran to her. It was like I was reliving the whole scene.

Only this time, when I glanced at mom's blood in my hands, the dead man sat up sharply.

“You killed me.” He muttered.

I choked back a sob. “No, I…”

“Cassie.”

    Cassie's POV The woman… Angela stepped in before I could fire back. “I’m Angela,” she said gently. I’m not here to force anything, Cassie. I’m here because your family cares about you.” Her voice wasn’t pushy, just… steady. “And because for Adele to consider therapy for you then she really thought you needed it.”I frowned. “What does that mean?”“Adele never calls me about therapy cases. Ever. So when she did, I knew it mattered. I flew in right away.”I squinted. “From where?”“Hawaii.” She said it casually, like it wasn’t insane. “The flight was six and a half hours.”That didn’t make sense. “But… it hasn't been that long.”Ledger and Angela exchanged a look.I rolled my eyes. “What?”“You were asleep for nine hours,” Ledger said gently.I stared. Nine hours? The whole shootout had been early morning. My brain scrambled to catch up.Angela leaned in slightly. “All I’m asking for is thirty minutes of your time. That’s it. If you don’t want to after that, I’ll fly right back to Hawa

    Author's POV Liam approached them. “I'll also be taking my leave as well, father, mother.”Whitney stepped forward. “I hate to leave when Cassie and her mom are still here, but I'm a little worried about the café. Joe and Casey will be swamped once the uni resumes.”Lady Adelaide nodded. “Unstandable, dear. Do well to inform me when you all arrive.”Whitney smiled. “Will do, mother.”“Four members of my squad will go with you for protection. Just in case.” Jude said. Though it wasn't an outright order, his tone left no room for discussion.They nodded. Declan patted Declan on the shoulder twice before they were joined by Dorothy.“Mother, father. I know the trip didn't end like you wanted, but know that none of us regret coming on this trip.” She assured them. “And though they might not agree now, I'm sure the Monroes will come to realize this later.”Lady Adelaide didn't look convinced but she smiled nonetheless. “Thank you for saying that, Dear Dorothy.”Dorothy smiled. “No need to

    Author's POV Quentin stood rigid, his fists balled. “You made my mom get hurt! Leave me alone, Luke. I don't want to play with you anymore.” Quentin yelled, his voice drawing the attention of everyone. Lady Celeste took a step towards them but a hand on her shoulder stopped her. Lady Adelaide shook her head.Luke broke under Quentin's fury, tears streaming as he shook his head. “I’m sorry! I was scared! I didn’t mean it!”Quentin’s face twisted, the anger spilling into sobs of his own. Then he did something that surprised the adults: He wiped his tears and placed a hand on Luke's shoulder. “I… I forgive you. So, don't cry. Dad says mom is strong. She'll wake up.”Luke wailed before wrapping his arms around Quentin and the boys just stood, crying. Jude smiled, but then his thoughts went to Cassie.Cassie never made it past the plane. Her body gave out in Ledger's arms and he carried her to one of the ambulances waiting outside, worried she was hurt.The doctors admitted her alongsi

    Ledger's POVHow exactly did we get here? I was in my final year. This was just supposed to be my season. Finish at the top of the league and go pro. Yet somehow, I'd ended up here… In the middle of a shootout in a strange land as well.What were the odds of experiencing something like this? I didn't know.And even then, all I could think about was Cassie.General Monroe and his soldiers had the last hijacker pinned, but I knew there was still one left in the women’s wing. The one she’d run toward.I glanced back. Mother was at the exit, waving frantically as soldiers directed the rest of the family off the plane. Father was in front of her, protecting her with his body. Even in chaos, they were still them.“Ledger, come on,” Mother called. Her eyes cut through the dim cabin lights, sharp and pleading.Father had moved to Jude's side, a firearm in hand.I shook my head. “Cassie and her family are still back there. I can’t.”“We’ll get them,” she said firmly, like she could will it int

    Cassie's POV I flinched when a shot rang out in the plane. And then another. My hands flew up, covering my ears before I even realized what I was doing.“Open your eyes, Cassie.” I heard Jude say, his voice urgent.I slowly forced my eyes open. He was right in front of me, body squared, shielding me. Behind him, the attendant who’d been smiling politely just minutes ago was now coughing blood, her hand still raised, pistol aimed toward his back.It hit me all at once—he’d stepped in front of me, taken the shot.A low grunt escaped him.“Jude!” My voice cracked, terrified he’d been hit.“I’m fine,” he grunted. “Bulletproof vest. Hurts like hell, but I’m fine.”The woman collapsed, but Jude caught my chin, turning my face sharply away. His touch was firm, almost fatherly. “Don’t look. Eyes on me.”I nodded fast, fighting the urge to glance back. Fighting the reality that someone had just died two feet away.“Cassie!” Ledger’s voice rang out as he rushed over.“Take her and join the oth
