The long dining table was set with warm food, laughter, and a familiar energy that had slowly returned to the Skylar household.
Alexander had taken his dinner in his room, resting under the nurse’s care, but the rest of the family gathered around the table. Aurora nestled between Ian and Ryan, while Asher sat beside Owen, a soft smile playing o
(Author’s POV)The world outside was slowly shifting into dusk, the mansion cloaked in a quiet that only comes after a storm of emotions. Inside Alexander’s room, time had stilled.Aurora sat on the floor between Ian and Asher, both of whom rested their heads on her shoulders. Tears had stopped for now but their eyes still burned, rimmed with red and exhaustion.They weren’t speaking. They just needed her. And she was there.Meanwhile, the soft creak of footsteps echoed as Ryan and Owen descended the grand staircase.No words passed between them, but their faces still carved with sorrow were now lined with quiet determination. Their grief would not stop them from giving their father the farewell he deserved.
(Author’s POV)The black Skylar car pulled into the long stone driveway, passing the familiar front gates. The mansion stood tall, regal as always but something about it felt different now.Too still. Too quiet.“Alright, let’s go find out what ‘important’ emergency Owen cooked up this time. Maybe he found gray hair” Inside the car, Ian stretched his arms and yawned.Aurora gave him a tight smile, but her hand gripped the door handle a bit too firmly.The car stopped. The driver stepped out and opened the back door. Ian hopped out first, full of casual energy. Aurora followed, slower, her instincts prickling.As they approached the front d
(Author’s POV)The grand living room of Skylar mansion was unusually silent, the kind of silence that clung to the walls like grief. James sat near the entrance, his phone in hand, trying over and over again to reach Asher.Call after call. Still unreachable.He let out a breath of frustration and sorrow, his thumb hovering over Ian’s contact, ready to try the next person.But just then, the front doors opened. Asher walked in, brushing dust from his jacket, his expression relaxed from the scouting trip. James stood up immediately, phone trembling slightly in his hands.“I…I was trying to reach you sir but the network was unreachable”.“Yeah, I
(Author’s POV)In RS Enterprise, the boardroom was buzzing with quiet intensity. The long oval table was surrounded by top-level executives, heads of departments, analysts, all focused on the large LED screen displaying graphs and projections for the next quarter.At the head of the table sat Ryan Skylar, his posture straight, expression sharp, dressed immaculately in a tailored navy suit. His pen tapped lightly against his notepad as he listened to a senior manager presenting a strategic growth plan.On his right, his assistant took notes swiftly, occasionally stealing glances at Ryan’s phone that buzzed on silent mode… once… twice… a third time. Ryan didn’t flinch. His focus was absolute.But when the assistant’s own phone l
(Author’s POV)Alexander’s room was quiet…too quiet. A gentle breeze flowed in through the slightly cracked window, moving the sheer curtains with soft rustles. The sunlight didn’t feel warm today, it felt dim, dull, like it too was bracing for something.The nurse, who had been carefully noting Alexander’s vitals, furrowed her brows. Something was off.His breathing… it had changed. More labored. More shallow. His skin had paled a shade further. His fingers, once occasionally twitching with life, now lay still on the white sheets.She immediately stood up, quickly but calmly, and walked out into the hallway. Her heart raced.Down the corridor, James stood speaking with another staf
(Author’s POV)The grand staircase creaked softly as Owen and Aurora descended side by side. Aurora had freshly brushed hair tucked behind her ears and wore a light pastel dress, her cheeks slightly flushed.Owen looked calm and content, his hand gently resting on the small of her back as they stepped into the living room, where Asher, Ryan, and Ian were already lounging on the couches, half-scrolling through their phones and half-chatting about their plans for the day.The moment the three brothers saw them walking in together, their eyes narrowed like synchronized predators sensing something… interesting.Ian noticed the pink tint on Aurora’s face immediately and smirked.“Well, well, well,” H
(Ian’s POV)I was walking down the hallway with my friends, laughter and light banter filling the air as we made our way toward the cafeteria. It had been a busy morning with back-to-back classes, and I was lookin

(Owen’s POV)Next morning, the warm sunlight filtered through the large windows of dad’s study as I entered. Dad seated behind his mahogany desk, looked up and gestured for me to sit.
(Aurora’s POV)Next morning, the sleek sports car came to a smooth halt in the college parking lot. Ian turned off the engine and glanced briefly at me. Unlike the previous day, I was more composed, my nervousness
