MasukAuthor's POVYvonne couldn't be more proud than this as she was all smiles, knowing that this is really the end of the road for Tricia.The weight that had been sitting on her chest for months finally lifted. She could breathe again.As the police officers took Tricia and the doctor away, Tricia's screams faded down the hallway. Then there was silence which seemed all beautiful, perfect silence."So, you think that you can handle having 3 overprotective brothers, right?" Jack finally said.His voice was teasing but his eyes were serious as he meant every word.Yvonne smiled. "Took you guys long enough. So, it was indeed long overdue."Then she came closest to them and hugged them. Although she hugged Gentle first, who to her has been there for her first and then she moved to Bobby and then to Jack. Besides, they are all her brothers, her flesh and blood.The hug with Gentle lasted the longest because to Yvonne, he had been the first to question Tricia and the first to stand up for Yvo
Author's POVYvonne stood up and gently walked down the auditorium to meet her brothers who all had smiles on their faces for the fact that Yvonne had accepted them.The walk felt longer than it was because with each step she took, she got all eyes on her. But this time, it felt right.Obviously, Tricia couldn't take in the embarrassment and all. And couldn't help but laugh hysterically as if she had lost it, which got everyone's attention. You know, she couldn't stand the fact that all the attention she once got was now shifted to Yvonne forever because obviously that is what it actually means.The laugh was manic, unhinged and people started moving away from her.All of that drama from Tricia ended up getting everyone's attention but then in a negative way because they all saw her less, with regards to the looks in their eyes. Those close to where she was exactly actually shifted, knowing that she must have lost it. "This is a joke, right? Everyone here knows that she's the fucking
Tricia's POVBut just then, while I was still standing there like I just saw a ghost after Jack just happened to call up Yvonne to join them on the stage, instead of me.My mind was racing. I believe that this couldn't be happening just like that.I just saw my parents walking to the auditorium where we were, of course I recognized them at once and I couldn't help but ask myself what they were doing here for real. That seemed to be even seeing a bigger ghost but then, there must be a way out. But how? Right there, I felt like the earth should just open and swallow all of me but I have gotten this far and there was no backing down.My hands started shaking but I hid them behind my back.'Who asked them to even come here in the first place.' I know quite well that I haven't taken their calls but that's not enough reason for showing their godforsaken faces here.Not today…Not when everything was already falling apart.'What the fuck!' Were they here uninvited to spoil the show for me, at
Author's POVA bell rang on a Friday morning and the announcement followed. "Students, please make your way to the auditorium for a surprise assembly." And the students of Pacesetter high school all obeyed the instructions.Whispers filled the hallways as students made their way to the auditorium. Nobody knew what this was about as surprise assemblies were rare and was something that comes by once in a blue moon.Right there, the Belfort brothers were standing at the stage of the auditorium while everyone else had their eyes on them.All three of them were standing together on stage, looking serious but excited at the same time.Tricia on her end was all excited for the fact that at least, up till now, Adrian hadn't opened up to the truth to the police and in turn exposed their secret and that means that she was still on a safe side.She sat in the front row. Right where everyone could see her. Feeling like this was where she belonged.But unknown to her, a lot was going on undercover
Tricia's POVAs I left the Belfort brothers, I headed straight to meet up with Adrian.The drive to the police station felt longer than usual. Every minute dragged and my mind kept replaying the cold way the brothers had looked at me.On getting to the police station where I heard that Adrian was, I walked up to the front desk.A middle-aged officer sat there, barely looking up from his computer."Excuse me," I said.He glanced at me. "Yes? How can I help you?""I'm here to see someone. Adrian Clarke.""And who are you?"I straightened my shoulders and I knew that it was time to use the one card that always worked."Tricia Belfort. You mean you don't know me? That simply means you need to update your IQ on your current affairs. I am the lost heiress that the Belfort family found a few months ago."The officer raised an eyebrow. "Okay. And why are you here to see Mr. Clarke?""Do I need a reason?""Yes. We don't just let anyone visit culprits just like tha."‘Culprit.’ The word made Ad
Tricia's POVFrom the way the three Belfort brothers had been behaving towards me lately, I could tell that something was off but then, I can't even wrap my head around what the exact problem was actually.But then, I knew that something had shifted as I could literally feel it even the air that I breathe. I mean, the way they looked at me. Or more accurately, the way they didn't look at me.

The fact that they are always together discussing either one thing or the other without involving me like they used to do sometimes before now, even got me thinking.Jack used to be my safety net and the one who always defended me, among the three of
