I flung my phone hard against the desk fearing it might have broken. I've called her endlessly. She hadn't taken any of them.

I sat there in my office, thoughts wild, heart thumping. I had lost track of time. The sketchboard stood before me.

Lines stood on the board, leading to nowhere. I hadn't been able to complete a single task without stopping to think about what she could be doing at each point.

Why the heck was she avoiding my calls? I had gone to see her the other day in the guise of br

    I sat on the worn wooden stool in the old house, the one Mom used to sit on while peeling potatoes. The afternoon light filtered through the dusty curtains, casting long golden stripes across the floor. Lucy sat across from me on the matching stool, her warm hand gently rubbing the back of mine in slow circles. Her touch was steady, grounding, the kind that reminded me I wasn’t completely alone in this storm.“Blood is thicker than water,” I whispered, more to myself than to her. My thumb traced the faint scar on my knuckle from when I was seven and fell off my bike. “There were times I saw it, Lucy. The way Victoria and I both tap our fingers when we’re angry. The way we trust too easily. The way we both float through life like we’re waiting for someone to anchor us.” I shrugged lightly.Lucy nodded slowly. Her eyes stayed soft on my face. “The signs were there all along, weren’t they?”I let out a shaky breath. “Mr. Richard once mentioned my hair and eyes reminded him of someone.

    My eyes moved from Victoria's face to her father's, then back to her. She rubbed my hand a little, in that subtle reassuring way. “Amelia,” I mentioned calmly, “Amelia Santiago-Harper.”The air seemed to stop for one long second. Victoria's hand left mine, her eyes went wide like I had just spoken a crime, or rather made mention of the name of a notorious criminal. “Elma?” She mumbled under her breath. This was too much, seeing the look on her face frightened me. I moved my eyes away from her, placed them on Mr. Richard. The old man stood transfixed at a spot, his lips parted but no words came.“I… I can explain,” I stuttered, “please don’t take out my mother’s crime on me… The necklace, the birth certificate… I only got to know about them two days ago, just two days ago.” I cried. The suspense, the look on their faces, the way Victoria stood at once, her gaze fixed on my face like she was studying me, everything was killing me, making my pulse thump faster. “Please say somethin

    Aunt Linda muttered a word I barely heard. I scoffed, not making too much out of it. The shiny piece on Victoria's piece caught my attention. My eyes widened. It was the exact one I had found on her dresser after she had gone missing, the same one I took to Alex at the station. The same one! My eyes moved from Victoria's face to her father's face. My hand moved, settling in the piece suspended from her neck. “This,” I muttered, swallowing hard. “It appeared back in your room, on your dresser precisely… How did you drop it there? It was on your neck that afternoon?” I could tell curiosity sat deep in my eyes. Victoria shoved a strand of my face. “Come,” she said, smiling small. She guided me back to the bed, we both sat on the edge… My heart was pounding faster. Finally, it was time to understand what actually happened. She rubbed my free hand gently. My eyes roamed across her face, searching her eyes, I wished she could just spill all at once. “Mr. Houghton… He has been

    Then the door swung open, the nurse who had entered earlier was trying to stop some people from getting into the ward. Her shriek voice turned high-pitched at that moment. “No, Sir, you can't go in… The only family of the patient that was introduced to us had just stepped out.” She ordered.My eyes flew to the door. Aunt Linda's eyes darted to the door too. “I'll call security if you don't wait by the reception till the lady's back!” The nurse spread out both hands, stopping whoever was behind the tall frame I could see from where I sat.I grabbed the sheets, trying to figure out what was happening and who on earth could be at the door, insisting on seeing me.Could it be Alex? Or worse, Marcus? No! Sara was clear when she said he had been rearrested. Who could it be then? My eyebrows furrowed. “I believe I am old enough to know what order is in an environment like this.” The man said. The voice reached me. “But this is urgent.”Of course, I couldn't mistake that voice for any ot

    The door slammed shut behind them, Sara and Mia. I had watched them, my lips parted in that way that made my cheek hurt. Mia had been all smiles, Sara had asked that they go get some ice cream sticks.She cheered at the sound of that, her bright yellow dress swaying lightly as she bounced toward the door, her little hand tugging at Sara's. I sat on the hospital bed, legs crossed under the thin blue gown, feet swaying lightly below me, making the mattress creak with every small movement. The room felt quieter now that Sara and Mia had left. My eyes burned behind the closed door, and slowly my smile faded, my gaze staring into nothing now.My finger rubbed the part of my hand unconsciously where the IV pipe had passed into my skin as my mind wandered back to Sara’s apartment, to the black leather bag I had found in Mom’s old room. The pictures. The birth certificate. The marriage certificate with the date that didn’t make sense.Everything replayed in blurred fragments. Mom and the ma

    I woke up slowly, eyelids heavy and a little too painful. The first thing I felt was the ache in my head, a dull, steady pounding that matched my heartbeat. The hospital bed creaked softly under me as I tried to shift. My throat felt like sandpaper, dry and tight. I swallowed, but it only made it worse. My eyes burned when I finally managed to open them wider. The room was quiet except for the soft beep of the monitor beside the bed and the faint hum of the air conditioner. The room was empty. Well, except for me lying on the bed. I remembered vividly everything that had landed me here. My throat tightened, the dream I had just woken up from still fresh in my mind. It was Mia, Mia and me in our little happy world. I lay there for a moment, staring at the white ceiling tiles. Names slipped from my lips in a hoarse whisper.“Mia…” My voice cracked. I had missed that little girl. I had no idea what my life was going to become the day I stepped foot into the Langfords' penthouse. It h

    I pushed through the mansion’s side entrance with my shoulder, nudging at it as my hands had turned white, the heavy door creaked shut behind me, sounding like part of my world closing right before my ears. My legs felt like they belonged to someone else. Too heavy.Each step I took dragged, shoes

    Marcus crouched down beside me before I could lift my face the second time. I couldn’t push him away even though that was what made the most sense.His body balanced on the balls of his feet, broad shoulders blocking half the lamplight from casting on my face. The glow caught the side of his jaw, t

    Marcus strode back into the room, small wooden tray resting on both palms, nudging the door open easily with his elbow. Steam curled up from the coffee mug, reaching my nostrils from the door, the exact way I used to make it when we were together.My eyes caressed over him, wondering how he manage

    I strode across the foyer, heels clicking softly yet steadily, head tilted slightly to the side in exasperation, a lazy yawn left my throat. Flipping the heavy envelope over to the hand where my bag rested, I managed to tuck my hair perfectly, catching my shadowy image on the floor-to-ceiling windo
