* Lawrence *

The storm made everything louder. Every word. Every scream. Every tear. It beat against the world like it wanted in, into the walls, into our bones, into the twisted spaces between what we said and what we meant. And it echoed inside my skull like a war drum, a rhythm of rage that had gone too long unheard. Unchecked. Unanswered.

Now, it was loose.

And so was I.

I watched the house unravel in front of me, like it was made of paper and old lies. Fragile things pretending to be sturdy. My men were the wind, flipping cushions, slamming open cabinets, dragging drawers out like intestines.

"Keep going," I barked. "Tear it apart."

And they did.

Because I wasn't here for sympathy. I wasn't here for apologies or explanations. I was here for retribution.

The pink diamond ring. My mother's ring.

The one jewelry she considered significant, the symbol of my father's love to her on third engagement day. And now it was gone. Vanished. Stolen.

And every damn instinct in my bones, the sa

  • Mister Dream Man   Chapter Twelve

    * Jana *The city was louder than the island had ever been. Bigger. Colder. Its streets throbbed with strangers and neon lights, with honking cars and rusted buses and voices speaking languages that some of them I didn't understand. There was no ocean breeze, no rustling palms, no memory of the path that led to Mama's garden or the old hill we used to climb.Here, no one knew our names. And no one cared.We arrived with nothing but a battered suitcase, soaked clothes, and shadows behind our eyes. The rain had finally stopped, but the weight of it clung to us, as if it had seeped into our skin. Geraldine led us through the terminal, head high, acting braver than she felt. Edward was quiet now, burning silently, always watching every face like someone might recognize us, like danger would leap from the next alley.I clung to the edge of them both, the way a broken thread clings to cloth. But things unraveled fast.School was the first to go.We'd tried. Walked into offices with our old

  • Mister Dream Man   Chapter Eleven

    * Jana *The rain hadn't stopped. Not even after we boarded the ship.It still came down in sheets, like the sky was mourning with us, like it wanted to drag the memory of that night across the water, stitch it into the waves so we could never escape it. I stood by the railing, my fingers gripping the cold steel, my dress still damp, my arms wrapped around my chest like I could hold the broken pieces of myself in place.The ferry wasn't salvation. It wasn't peace, or safety, or even hope. It was exile.Behind us, the island grew smaller, swallowed by fog and night and the black stretch of sea that separated us from everything we'd known. Everything we'd lost.Behind me, Edward paced like a lion with its mane on fire. His boots thudded across the soaked deck. He hadn't said a word in over an hour, but I could feel it building in him, the storm. Then, finally, it broke."Damn it!" he snarled, slamming his fist into the side of the ship's wall with a dull metallic thud. "We left without

  • Mister Dream Man   Chapter Nine

    * Jana *The storm outside had grown teeth.It howled and snarled through the shattered peace of our home as if it had been summoned by the chaos within. Rain lashed the open doorway, soaking the floor, the furniture, the frayed welcome mat Mama had once called lucky.But nothing about this night felt lucky.Lawrence's voice thundered over the wreckage. "Tear this place apart."And they did.One man flipped the old couch, spilling coins and old receipts onto the floor like the guts of a wounded thing. Another kicked open the door to Edward's room, shoving aside posters, toppling shelves. I heard a crash, Edward's speaker, probably. He'd saved up for that."No! STOP!" I screamed, running toward the hallway, but one of the men grabbed my arm and shoved me back.I fell. My shoulder hit the linoleum hard, and pain flared bright in the dark like a firework going off in my chest. I tried to scramble up again, but my legs felt too thin, too wobbly."This is our home," I said through my teeth

  • Mister Dream Man   Chapter Eight

    * Jana *The clock ticked louder than it should have.I sat cross-legged on the worn couch, arms wrapped around a threadbare pillow, my eyes locked on the rust-speckled screen door that banged every time the wind shook the tiny house. The rain had started an hour ago, soft at first, like whispers on the roof, but now it pounded against the metal sheets with a desperate, angry rhythm.It was already past six. My mom should've been home by now.I didn't go with her today, my stomach had hurt in the morning, a dull cramp twisting me up, and Amanda, my mother, had told me to stay. "Rest," she said, brushing the hair from my forehead with her cool fingers. "Edward's here. You'll be fine."But Edward wasn't exactly here. He was holed up in his room with his headphones on, the volume so loud I could feel the bass rumbling through the floorboards. When I first asked him about mom, right after four o'clock, he'd rolled his eyes and muttered, "She's late. So what?" The second time, he didn't e

  • Mister Dream Man   Chapter Seven

    * Lawrence *"Where is she?"The words left my mouth like a quiet growl, forced through clenched teeth. I tried to keep the anger in check, to stop it from spilling into something reckless, something I couldn't walk back later. But it was becoming impossible, hours had passed, and Amanda Kramer still hadn't shown.The manager looked visibly uncomfortable. He stood near the glass wall of the office, fiddling with his watch strap, like he could escape the weight of my question by appearing busy. When his phone vibrated, he turned his back slightly as he read the message. A second later, his shoulders tensed and his face went pale."I—I need a moment," he muttered, then slipped out of the room.That was three hours ago.Still no Amanda. No return call. No word. Only a void.I remained in the manager's office long after I should've left, seated in a chair that was too plush to match the rising discomfort gnawing at my spine. Outside, the afternoon gave way to early evening, the light soft
