Mornings in Oregon always started with rain that sounded polite.

Not Latin rain, the kind that came down like it was here to contest a will. The rain here tapped softly against the huge kitchen windows, like it was asking permission first.

I was already at the stove before the sun had fully woken up, flipping arepas and occasionally glancing at the laptop open on the island. My Northlake inbox was full, as usual. Claire had sent the final agenda. Ethan had sent a revised attendee list. Tania had

  • My Sister's Fiance   come inside, Bella

    I drove with both hands on the wheel and one bad intention sitting sweetly behind my teeth.In the rearview mirror, Zach’s black SUV followed like an expensive shadow with no shame. The distance was perfect. Not too close. Not too far. Polite enough for someone who had kidnapped my children an hour ago with gelato and protein.Good.At least he could follow simple instructions when the threat was clear enough and I was wearing shoes that could be used for stabbing.The rain fell lightly. Not real rain, just that Oregon drizzle that liked to behave like someone’s passive-aggressive feelings. The road toward my neighborhood was quiet, wet, and far too green. Pine trees stood close together along the private road, the low stone wall appeared after the final bend, then the gates to my mansion opened automatically once the system read my license plate.I slowed down.Behind me, Zach’s SUV slowed too.“Good,” I muttered. “See? You can obey. Tiny miracle.”I pulled into the long driveway of

  • My Sister's Fiance   dear ms. gómez, unfortunately he was useful

    I went to the office in Theo’s car.Not my finest aesthetic choice, because Theo’s car smelled like expensive coffee, new leather, and the decisions of a man who bought things too often just because “the engine is interesting.” But my car was still God knew where, and I had two small children to drop off at preschool, one nanny going into class like a member of a royal delegation, and one twin brother still asleep on the second floor like the casualty of a diplomatic war.Bianna sat in the front seat, her hair neat in a clear claw clip, oversized sunglasses perched on her head even though the Oregon sky was still gray as an expensive mop rag. In the back seat, Max and Issa wore their preschool uniforms in the most Max-and-Issa way possible: Max with his hair half-combed, cheeks flushed, shoes already dirty even though we had not yet left the driveway; Issa with a lavender cardigan she said “helped her reputation,” a new glitter clip, and the expression of a four-year-old who believed

  • My Sister's Fiance   the italian wall hit back

    We were in the kitchen, the coffee machine starting to make small noises that sounded like someone complaining in an expensive language.I turned the lights on one by one, not too bright. Morning was still gray beyond the large glass windows, the pine forest wet and silent, the backyard looking like God had spent the whole night washing it with an obsessive interest in cleanliness.Karl sat down slowly on the farthest island stool.I pretended not to notice the way his hand touched the side of his ribs before he drew in a small breath and put on that deeply annoying neutral face.“I saw that,” I said, opening the fridge.Karl glanced over. “Saw what?”“You’re still in pain.”“I’m fine.”I took out eggs, butter, avocado, cheese, and a container of arepa dough I’d made the night before. “If you were fine, you wouldn’t sit down that slowly.”He let out a small breath. “I’m just trying not to make everything hurt more.”“That makes more sense.”I started arranging the ingredients on the k
