I turned to find Creed looking thoroughly rattled, his eyes scanning me from head to toe after Vander’s departure. He was searching for bruises, for any sign that Vander had hurt me. When he saw I was unharmed, his shoulders dropped with relief.My gaze drifted back toward the restaurant windows. Helios had stood up and moved to sit beside Carmilla.

Apollo and I fell silent when his phone rang from the dashboard. He grabbed his Bluetooth headset, slipped it on, and answered the call. "Yow," he greeted the caller. He listened for a moment, then glanced over at me. "Alright, got it. Thanks, lil sis." I looked at him curiously as he laughed. "I was born first so I’m older than you—" He paused, then checked his phone. "She hung up on me." He took off the headset and set it aside. Then, to my surprise, he made a sharp U-turn. "What are you doing?" I asked, alarmed—we were heading away from the airport, not toward it. Apollo glanced at me once, his expression serious. He checked the rearview mirror before speaking, his jaw tight. "Bro's heading to New York," he said flatly. My stomach dropped. "We’ll stay with someone I know in BGC tonight—if you don’t want him finding you right away." I wasn’t shocked that Helios would come looking for us. What surprised me was how he seeme

It was nothing short of a miracle that I made it to the mansion without crashing. I’d swerved around cars more times than I could count, never slowing down for a second as I raced through the streets. I didn’t even bother parking properly—just threw the car into park and jumped out, rushing through the gates. I checked the pool area first, praying Summer would be there, but it was empty. I ran inside, searching the living room and kitchen, calling her name over and over. "Summer!" No answer came back. I flew up the stairs, bursting into our bedroom—but she wasn’t there either. I checked the library, every room on the second floor… nothing. "Summer! Summer! God, where are you?" I’d left her sleeping this morning. Where could she have gone? I hurried back downstairs and nearly collided with Yaya Tams as she walked out of the kitchen. I blocked her path without hesitation. "Yaya Tam

"Zuri, over here!" Carmilla waved enthusiastically, though she didn’t need to—I’d spotted her through the window the moment I’d stepped out of my car. I slid into the chair across from her, my hands trembling slightly in my lap. There was no denying Carmilla’s beauty—she was like something out of a dream. Fair skin, wavy blonde hair that spoke to her American heritage, almond-shaped eyes, and a delicate pointed nose. Her lips were painted a deep plum red, and faint freckles dusted both shoulders. She made me feel so painfully insecure, like plain women had no right to sit in her presence. "What would you like?" she asked, already flagging down a waiter. I gave him my order without really thinking, my mind still racing with dread over what she might want to discuss. I had a terrible feeling everything would change the moment she opened her mouth. We sat in silence until the waiter left. My nerves were stretched so thin I could barely

"Zuri! What happened? Did that madman lay a hand on you?!" I turned to find Creed looking thoroughly rattled, his eyes scanning me from head to toe after Vander’s departure. He was searching for bruises, for any sign that Vander had hurt me. When he saw I was unharmed, his shoulders dropped with relief. My gaze drifted back toward the restaurant windows. Helios had stood up and moved to sit beside Carmilla. The moment I saw him pull her into his arms, tears came pouring down my face. "Zuri?!" Creed’s voice was sharp with shock as he saw me crying. He followed my stare, then squeezed his eyes shut tight. "Oh, shit." It hurt. God, it hurt so much. I knew they’d had something perfect once—something I’d shattered when I came into their lives. Now that Carmilla was back, were they going to pick up where they left off? Helios had told me I was the one he loved. But watching them hold each other from across the street, I couldn’t bring myse

Carmilla had become a constant presence at the Gallagher mansion after that day. She was there almost every single day—either chatting for hours with Mrs. Gallagher or tagging along with Artemis on their endless shopping sprees. She fit so seamlessly with the two women, and the whole family looked brighter, happier whenever she was around. Carmilla looked like she was born to be part of this family. "Auntie, I bought you a limited edition Louis Vuitton bag when I was in Madrid. I know you’re going to love it. I’ll bring it over tomorrow." Carmilla’s voice was warm and sweet as she spoke across the lunch table that day. Tomorrow. So she was coming back again? "Thank you so much, hija! You never forget what I like, do you?" Mrs. Gallagher beamed, absolutely delighted. "Of course not! The second I saw it, you were the first person I thought of. I didn’t even hesitate to buy it." Carmilla smiled that perfect, practiced smile of hers.

Helios hadn't left my side since he learned about what happened at the mall. He remained a constant shadow to Summer and me, adamantly refusing to let us leave without him. Even my own solitary errands now included his formidable presence. Creed had even started complaining to Helios, questioning his purpose if I was constantly with his boss. "Mommy, I'm excited to go to school again," Summer chirped, sprawled on the bed, absorbed in her coloring book. I smiled. Most children dreaded returning to school, yet she'd never once shown a hint of reluctance. She was always eager for school each day. "Don't worry, baby. We'll go to your new school tomorrow. I'll enroll you in your class," I said, running my fingers through my hair. "Will Daddy go with us?" she asked hopefully. I smiled. "Of course, baby." She let out a joyful "yay" and returned to her coloring. I hadn't yet told Helios about Summer's enrollment tomorrow or that I needed to go to the school. But I knew he would in

ZURI'S POINT OF VIEW I woke up grinning to myself, remembering the dream I’d had—my dragon-spawn boss apologizing to me. I let out a soft laugh. It was absurd, really—something that could only happen in my head. No way the real Helios Gallagher would ever say sorry to me. Summ

ZURI'S POINT OF VIEW I fought to calm Summer down—her sobs came in harsh, ragged waves, so violent I feared she’d stop breathing altogether. Only when I whispered that her father had left did her body finally go slack against mine. I knew she was traumatized. She hadn’t let go

ZURI'S POINT OF VIEW “Where are you off to?” Mrs. Gallagher’s voice pulled me from my thoughts as I stepped into the dining room, dressed in my blazer and heels. The whole family was gathered around the long mahogany table, plates of eggs and fruit spread before them. My gaze

ZURI'S POINT OF VIEW He knows. He knows Summer Frost is his daughter. Panic coiled tight in my chest as I stared into Helios’ eyes—they were ice-cold, sharp enough to cut through me. Tears pricked at my lash line, hot and heavy, and I could see rage simmering just beneath his rigid surface. "
