~Raxon~

I sat behind the desk in my private study, staring blankly at a glass of amber liquid I hadn't even touched.

The mansion was really quiet lately, but that was better than all the noise. Then, the big wooden door opened slowly without a knock, and I felt my jaw tighten.

Nadia stood in the doorway, looking like a real ghost. Her eyes were swollen, her clothes were wrinkled, and she looked so delicate I felt a sudden urge to snap at her just to see if she would break.

She walked inside, cl

    ~Nadia~Raxon looked like he wanted to jump out of his seat and rip the papers right out of the lawyer's hands, but he stayed frozen, his eyes burning with a dark, harsh rage.I gripped the armrests of my chair so hard my fingernails dug straight through the fabric.Mr. Vance looked down at the paper and began reading in a loud, clear voice that echoed through the entire mansion parlor. "I, Joan Elizabeth Raxon, being of sound mind and body, do hereby amend my previous directives regarding the distribution of my primary assets upon my passing. I explicitly revoke the clause designating my son, Raxon, as the sole beneficiary of my estate holdings.""What did you just say?" Raxon screamed, standing up so fast his chair flew backward and banged against the wall."Sit down, Raxon, or I will have the security team enter the room," Mr. Vance said, his voice turning incredibly sharp as he looked up over his glasses. "I am going to finish reading the text exactly as it was written and signe

    ✤Nadia✤I left Anna's for the mansion that evening. Everything we just found out was still replaying in my head but I had more important things to do right now.Like the will. Joan's will to be more detailed.The air inside the mansion parlor felt completely serious, like a storm was about to break right over our heads. I sat on the very edge of the small velvet armchair, keeping my hands squeezed tightly together in my lap so nobody could see how badly they were shaking.Raxon was pacing back and forth near the big windows, knocking his knuckles against his thighs over and over again.Shantel was lounging on the main leather couch, filing her long nails down and acting like the universe revolved around her.The doors of the mansion banged open suddenly, the loud noise echoing all the way into the parlor. I flinched, my heart jumping straight into my throat as footsteps marched down the hallway.Mrs. Reynolds came rushing into the room first, her face looking completely pale and her

    ✤Nadia✤I literally could not breathe inside that house anymore. The environment inside the mansion was suffocating and hostile, especially after the whole disaster with the missing necklace.Every single corner of that estate felt like a trap, and walking down the hallways made my stomach twist into painful knots.I stopped eating in the dining room entirely because I could not stand the way Shantel smirked at me or the way Raxon treated me like I was a piece of garbage.To keep myself from losing my mind, I began spending almost all my time away from the estate. I searched for refuge at the small, messy apartment belonging to my fiercely loyal best friend, Anne.Her place was tiny compared to the mansion, but it was the only spot in the whole city where I felt safe and normal. It felt like home. I could sit on her couch without looking over my shoulder every two seconds."You look exhausted, Nadia," Anne said, sliding a hot mug into my hands as she sat down across from me at her

    ~Nadia~The news on the television was entirely brutal, and the headlines just kept flashing my name alongside words like curse and distraction.I stayed locked in my room, trying to block out the noise of Raxon's career downfall, but the mansion didn't offer any real peace.Shantel didn't even bother knocking when she pushed my bedroom door open, stepping inside with a cold look in her eyes. "We need to talk about that heirloom necklace, Nadia. The diamond one Joan gave you on your wedding day."I stood up from my bed, my hand instantly flying to the small velvet box hidden deep inside my nightstand drawer. "What about it, Shantel? That was a personal gift from Joan to me. It has absolutely nothing to do with you.""It belongs to the family estate, and you are barely even part of this family anymore," Shantel said, crossing her arms as she stepped closer. "Raxon's career is in total jeopardy because of the mess you caused, and a priceless piece of history shouldn't be sitting in a

    ~Raxon~The bright lights in the arena felt like they were burning holes straight into my eyes tonight. The loud cheering from the crowd just sounded like annoying buzzing in my ears.My head felt heavy and confused with all the sadness about my mom and the messy problems waiting for me at the mansion.I literally could not focus on the puck, I could not focus on my positioning, and my performance on the ice was falling apart.This was an important playoff game, the kind of big match where I usually did well and beat the competition.But tonight, I played horribly from the very first second the whistle blew. I missed two wide-open, easy shots in the first period that I could usually make with my eyes closed.My skates felt like they were stuck in mud, and my bad passing made our team fall behind by three goals."Get your head in the game, Raxon!" the coach screamed from the bench, hitting his plastic clipboard against the boards as I skated past. "What the hell are you doing out there

Her eyes were swollen, her clothes were wrinkled, and she looked so delicate I felt a sudden urge to snap at her just to see if she would break.She walked inside, closing the door softly behind her before she dropped to her knees right on the hard floor."Raxon, please," she cried, swallowing every ounce of her dignity as she looked up at me with clasped hands. "I'm begging you. Please help me hire a competent lawyer for Leo. He was arrested last night, and he's facing fifteen years for something he didn't even do."I scoffed, leaning back in my leather chair and looking down at her with pure, unfiltered hate. "Are you seriously coming into my office wit

    ~Nadia~My phone had been buzzing completely off the hook since five o'clock this morning. I didn't even need to open the apps to know exactly what the internet was saying about me.The media had somehow found out about Joan's sudden passing, and they definitely found out about Shantel moving her

    ✦Raxon✦The car ride back from the hospital was completely silent, and the air inside the vehicle felt entirely suffocating. I didn't say a single word to Nadia, and she didn't dare speak to me either.I just stared out the window at the passing trees, my mind completely blank and heavy with a numb

    ✦Raxon✦The beep of a machine was probably what woke me up. It was annoying as hell, sharp and persistent, drilling straight through my skull. My eyes felt like they were glued shut and they hurt like hell when I finally forced them open.I blinked rapidly, trying to clear the haze from my vision,
