ROBIN

I yanked the door open and dived straight into Jack’s arm, burying myself in his chest and letting the floodgates of tears spill down.

“My baby. What happened?”

“She hates me, Jack.” I sniffled, sobbing away.

“She doesn’t hate you, baby.” He tipped my head up, my soggy eyes perceiving a distorted vision of Jack. Stroking the tears with his thumb, he kissed my face, every inch, before landing on my lips. “She’s upset. She’ll come around.”

“It’s not just the Margaret issue, Jack. She’s hurt

    ROBINI peered through the peephole and breathed out, the tension melting away from my shoulders, the tight knot in my chest loosening as I spotted my Dad. I unfastened the latch and pulled the door wide open for him, drawing me in for a long hug before entering. I led him into the kitchen, poured him a glass of water and sat opposite each other in silence.He looked wretched, as though he’d aged a decade in the space of a few weeks. The divorce had messed him up real bad and I doubted I had the right words to ease his pain, because no matter what, I still loved him and Mum equally. They had both loved me unconditionally when I had no one else.“How are you holding up, Dad?” I mumbled, swiping his hand into mine. “Are you okay?”He scoffed, going for laughter, but it never touched his eyes. Devastation stared back at me.“There’s no fixing how broken I am, my girl. I’m living in hell.” I lifted his hand to my cheek before placing a kiss at the back of it. “Life is horrible without you

    ROBINTWO WEEKS LATER…“Lana,” I called, pushing open her bedroom door without knocking. “Daddy wants to talk to you.” I held up my phone, waving it in her direction.“I don’t want to talk to him, tell him that.”I let out a slow breath, pressing the phone against my ear to repeat Lana’s words, though I knew he’d already heard them. This was the twentieth time he’d called my phone this week alone, hoping to speak to Lana, and each time she had bluntly refused to hear him out, going as far as deleting his number and revoking all access.“I’m sorry, Daddy. I don’t think she’s ready to talk yet." I paused for a minute, listening to what he had to say."Okay…bye.” I peeled the phone away and hung up before making myself comfortable on Lana’s bed, narrowing suspicious eyes at her impossibly short dress as she sashayed over to the dressing mirror, putting the finishing touches on her makeup.“It’s been weeks now, are you really never going to speak to him again?”“No, I’m not. You might for

    ROBINI winced, burying my face in my palms.“How did you know about this?” Mum breathed, her voice barely audible as the tears streamed down.“Robin knew for a while,” Lana blurted, glaring at me. “Yet she decided to keep it a secret.”“Is this true?” Lindsey turned brimming eyes on me, disappointment fixed on her features. I bobbed my head, waves of shame and yuck gushing over me. She let out a broken gasp, collapsing into the luxurious leather couch.“How could you know about something like this and not tell me?”I fell apart under the weight of guilt, haunted by the feeling that I’d betrayed her, all of them. I should’ve spoken up sooner. But I wanted to shield the family from pain, from the anguish.“I’m so sorry, Mum.” My voice cracked, tears spilling down freely. “I didn’t want to hurt you.”I wiped my face with trembling hands.“At first, I couldn’t believe it myself. I thought that if I kept it from you… maybe it’d somehow become irrelevant… unimportant. Maybe it’d disappear.

    ROBINI came back to an empty apartment after having spent the whole night bundled in Jack’s arms, having passionate sex everywhere in our new home. His thoughtfulness had to be one of the things I loved most about him. His relentless determination to see me happy, doing everything to make sure my smile never faded was nothing short of extraordinary.But I didn’t feel happy now.Not with Lana still nowhere to be seen at seven o’clock in the morning.Where could she have spent the night? She’d never stayed out before, it was always here with me or nowhere at all. Well, more recently with Mike.I sauntered over to the wall telephone, letting out a weary sigh and dialling Mike’s number scribbled on our emergency contact pad. It had everyone’s numbers in case we ever needed to make a call without our phones nearby, which was exactly my situation but more like —phoneless.“Mike, it’s Robin. Um… is Lana with you?”“No, Robin. She told me she had something planned for my birthday, but I neve

    JACKI pulled up in the driveway, making my way quickly around the car to Robin’s side, helping her out. She gaped when her feet touched the ground, her eyes wandering over the luxurious fortress.“Oh my God, Jack.” She breathed, utterly incredulous at the sight. I had to admit, I’d probably have worn the exact same expression if I weren’t so accustomed to absurdly oversized spaces. “This is beyond beautiful.”“And we’re only outside.” I mused, taking her hand and guiding her towards the ostentatious building.“This is truly overwhelming, Jack. This place is stupidly huge. It’ll only be the five of us living here.”“Six, actually. I was thinking Mag could live with us. She loves us, Robin. Her eyes were soaked with tears when she had to go back to the mansion, she wanted to tag along.”“I know.” She sighed. “I was in the car, but Lana has to agree first, the whole family has to.”I nodded, of course. I should’ve thought of that.“Come, let me show you inside.” I took her hand, leading

She’s hurt I don’t tell her stuff these days.” I heaved a soft sigh. “She feels I don’t regard her capable enough to care for me as much as I do about you.”“That’s insane. You’re all about her.”“I know. But she doesn’t see that. She somewhat blames herself too, for leaving me alone the day I was taken. Why would she feel that? She wasn’t to know, no one is to blame.”“Oh baby… come here.” He cradled my head against his chest, wrapping his uninjured arm around me and stroking my face with his other.“Sho
