INICIAR SESIÓNSTAR'S POVThe unfamiliar softness beneath me made me stir awake. For a few seconds, I simply stared at the white ceiling. Right... I wasn't in the house I once shared with Gloria anymore. I wasn't trapped inside Vanderbilt Estate either. I was in the Goldmann mansion. The realization made me sit upright.The room was quiet, with only the faint morning sunlight filtering through the curtains. I glanced at the bedside clock.6:05 A.M."So early..."I rubbed my sleepy eyes before forcing myself out of bed. Today was my first day. And I only had one week. One week to do what thirteen professional nannies couldn't. I couldn't afford to waste even a minute....After taking a quick shower, I opened the wardrobe Mrs. Finn had prepared I guess cause I don't believe someone else could do that other than her.... There were dozens of neat dresses arranged inside. It was midnight when all of these came and
STAR'S POVNolan's mother gave me a mocking look before leaving the room... Once she left, Nolan grabbed my hand and turned me to him..." Have you gone mad? How can you place such a bet? You don't even know Liam! How can you make him behave nice when no other could? "I sighed..." I may not know Liam but I have a feeling that the problem is not with Liam... The problem is with the people around him... "He frowned..." Are you calling me a problem?"I shrugged...'I don't know but you could be... Liam is a child with adults surrounding him... Everyone is mature here but he is still developing... So how can you expect him to act like a grown man when he doesn't even know what that is... "Nolan's grip loosened on me as he fell into thought..." You can't solve a math problem if you don't understand it... So let me understand Liam first, then I will try to solve his problem... But impatience is not the key.... So all of us needs to calm down..."Nolan finally let go of my hand... He t
STAR'S POVI felt like cold water splashed on me when he said that... I could stare at him silently... Then I looked at myself... This dress, shoes, eccessories... He bought all of these for his sister... But now I am wearing it... Guilt started to build up inside me..." I am sorry...."I said softly... But he shook his head, a sad smile on his face...." Don't be.... It's been years since she passed away... But I couldn't help but think how she would have dressed up if she was alive.... These clothes were hoarding up anyway... It's good that they fit you so well... Once you settle, I will send all of those to you..."I shook my head immediately..." No no no... Don't do that... I can manage the rest by myself...."He side eyed me in a way that made me embarassed about myself cause even he knew I couldn't figure out things yet...." Stop denying everytime, Star... You can always pay it back but do accept it when you really need it... It won't be the end of the world..."I smiled sa
Third person's povStar sat infront of Nolan... The night had fallen outside and the light inside the treehouse waz the only lit place..." Star... You can't live in the forest forever... You have to leave this place now..."Star nodded, her head hung down... Seeing her sad face, Nolan sighed..." Do you want to go back home? "Star shook her head immediately and looked up.." No... I don't... Can you help me to get out of this forest? It would be enough..."Nolan frowned at that.. He couldn't understand why she was refusing..." And then? Then what? Where will you go? Where will you live? Life isn't a fairytale outside... Without a safe place, I can't just let you go like that... Do you have somewhere to go? "STAR'S POVI do have somewhere to go but my brothers will probably search there as well... By now, they probably know that I am not in the house... If they find me, they will probably lock me up this time...The house I lived with Gloria is known to them so I can't even go the
THIRD PERSON'S POVThe phone inside the Vanderbilt rang in silence... The phone lit up in the darkness... I rang once and no one answered until a man walked in the room..He quietly got hold of the phone and moved inside the bathroom and received the call..." Why weren't you picking up the call? I have been calling you since morning!! "The man from the other side yelled through the phone.. " how can I when the lady of the house is missing? The brothers are going crazy for her now! "The man hissed and whispered over the call.... The other side was silent for a moment before speaking again.." Are they suspecting you? "The man got qu....iet for a second before humming..." They are questioning everyone... Everyone is under watch... That girl is out of the house.. This is your chance to take her... Judging from the brothers behaviour now? If they find her before you then you'll never get your hands over her again, Mr Goldmann..."Nicholas Goldmann sneered...." I'll get her before t
THIRD PERSON'S POVVANDERBILT ESTATEOrion yelled in the phone while Aries was shouting on the guards who was on duty yesterday night... " How did none of you see when she left, where she left??!! "But Atlas was the most composed one till now... He sat in front of Franklin and the maids who attended Star yesterday night... The maids stayed kneeled down while Franklin stood infront of Atlas..." This is the last chance... Where is Star? If I don't get answers now, I'll personally shoot everyone one of you and then hunt down your families... "The maids started crying again... They trully didn't know where she was... No one knew but they knew which way she went... But that's not what he asked... So why bother asking?" We don't know, Sir... You are wasting your time interrogating us..."Franklin said in the calmest voice as if it truly didn't bother him anymore... Atlas raised a brow...
Star's POV After Aries left, I walked out of the library too.. I thought of walking back to my room until I heard some noises coming from down stairs.. I should just go back to my room but curiosity got the best of me.. As I walked towards the garden, I saw someone's back.. Probably smoking.
STAR'S POV I stayed in my room only long enough for the ache in my chest to dull.. But how long will these last? I am home.. I have to live under the same roof as them.. I can't ignore them forever, neither can they.. Maybe they are still mad because I wasn't in front of them enough? Maybe sta
STAR'S POV By the time I stepped into the estate, night had already swallowed everything whole. But tonight- the house didn't feel like a home. It felt like a courtroom waiting to sentence me. Cold. Heavy. Suffocating. Every servant stood lined in the living room, heads lowered, shoulders s
STAR'S POV "Tomorrow is your birthday... What do you want to to do? " Franklin asked as we walked deeper in the woods to collect mushrooms..
