Family Meeting

last update Last Updated: 2025-07-07 07:15:25
The grand doors of the family Event Hall loomed ahead, just like they had in my past life tall, intimidating, and reeking of tradition

I paused just before them, my fingers grazing the delicate slit of my wine-colored dress

My heels clicked against the marble floor as I shifted my weight, letting the silence settle in

I knew they were already inside,

Waiting and I liked it that way because,

In my first life, I had arrived on time dressed modestly, politely, quietly and I had waited three long hours before anyone arrived

But not today

Because today, I had came five hours late

And I came dressed to remind them exactly who I was now

As I raised my hand to push open the doors, I could already hear them murmurs layered with irritation and judgment

“… so disrespectful…”

“Does she think the world revolves around her?”

“I told you, that woman has no manners”

I smiled Oh, how familiar it all sounded

With one elegant push, the double doors creaked open

And then there was silence

  • No Longer A Fool For You    Secret

    Selene's Pov Yes… I was finally here. I had finally decided to attend the last family dinner, just as Matthew had insisted. It was strange, almost laughable, how those words “family dinner” sounded in my head. Did I even belong to this family anymore?. The moment I stepped into the event hall—the same one I had walked into the very first time after my rebirth as a calming sensation washed over me. It was odd, like stepping into a memory, except this time I carried with me something new: freedom. A taste of independence that no one here could strip away from me. My eyes swept over the table. Everyone was seated just as they always had been. Evelyn, Sarah, Martha… and Matthew. What caught me off guard was Mata. She was smiling at me. Her smile wasn’t wide, but it was there, sitting strangely on her faceWhich was unusual was and Sarah… Sarah was still Sarah. Her sharp, frowned expression stabbed at me the way it always had, her eyes filled with that familiar resentment. I ig

    Collins’ POV Aiden shifted uncomfortably in his seat, scratching the back of his head as though the words he wanted to say were caught somewhere in his throat. “Um, boss…” he began slowly, voice uncertain, i have, but… I think you probably even have more experience than me.” I studied him for a moment, the corner of my mouth twitching at his awkwardness. Maybe he was right, maybe he wasn’t. With a quiet sigh, I pushed myself up from my chair, letting my hands slide into my pockets. My steps carried me from one end of the room to the other, the sound of my shoes echoing softly against the wooden floor. “Well… maybe and maybe not,” I muttered, my gaze lingering on the framed picture hanging on the far wall. “You know something, Aiden?” My voice dropped, thick with a weight I hadn’t let anyone hear in years. “It’s been so long. So many years have passed, and sometimes I feel like I’m not really capable of doing… that stuff again. Like the version of me that once thrived

  • No Longer A Fool For You    What was That About

    Collins Pov The car had barely stopped before I shoved the door open and jumped out. My chest was tight, anger burning through my veins like fire. I didn’t even bother shutting the car door properly—I stormed across the driveway and into the house. “Dad!” I shouted, my voice echoing through the grand hallway. My steps were heavy, almost stomping, as I moved deeper inside. “Dad!” “I’m right behind the—bar, son,” came his calm, unhurried voice from the hallway at the back. I didn’t wait as I marched straight toward him, fists clenched at my sides. . When I finally saw him, he was standing there with a glass of wine in his hand, looking as though nothing in the world could ruffle him. That calm expression only made my frustration boil hotter. “Dad, what was the meaning of that today?” I snapped, my voice sharper than I intended. “Why did you have to do something so—so embarrassing to me?” My father arched a brow, unfazed. “Collins,” he said slowly, with that maddening pa

  • No Longer A Fool For You    Leave

    Selene's Pov was still carrying the weight of the meeting as we walked down the corridor, the sound of footsteps echoing faintly against the marble floors after we had finished escorting the President out. My mind was already shifting to the pile of work waiting on my desk when I noticed Collins walking just a step behind me, his pace slower than usual, as though something was holding him back. I stopped without warning, and almost instantly, Collins brushed into me from behind. He stumbled slightly and quickly caught himself, his voice rushing out in a low, apologetic tone, “Oh—I’m sorry, ma.” I turned around slowly, my eyes settling on him. There was something restless in the way his gaze shifted, something unspoken that tugged at the edge of his composure. Folding my arms lightly, I tilted my head and asked, “What’s got you distracted, Collins? Tell me, is anything on your mind?” For a moment, he hesitated, as though weighing whether to speak or hold it back, and then

  • No Longer A Fool For You    I Know Him

    Selene's Pov I stepped into the conference hall, my heels clicking against the marble floor as the soft hum of conversations and shuffling papers filled the air. Rows of suited figures, some already seated and others mingling with glasses of water in hand, created a thick atmosphere of tension mixed with opportunity. My eyes scanned the room automatically—searching, calculating, trying to catch a familiar face. And then I saw him. At first, I couldn’t place it. Something about the strong line of his jaw, the calm yet sharp eyes, tugged at my memory. My steps slowed where have I seen this man before? His face wasn’t new, and the way he carried himself, so assured, so untouchable—it stirred something in me. I hesitated, then straightened my shoulders. Whether I remembered him or not, this was business. I crossed the hall, my palms lightly grazing the papers I held, rehearsing professionalism in my mind. When I finally stood before him, I offered a polite smile. “Good mor

  • No Longer A Fool For You    President Himself

    Selene's Pov I was pulling my dress over my shoulders when my phone buzzed on the table. For a moment, I thought about ignoring it—God knew I wasn’t in the mood for anyone—but the persistent vibration made me snatch it up. Matthew’s name flashed across the screen. My jaw clenched. Still, I slid my finger across the screen and put it to my ear. “Hello?” My voice came out sharper than I intended. “Oh, Celine,” Matthew’s tone was casual, almost rehearsed. “I just wanted to remind you about the family meeting this evening. You haven’t forgotten, have you?” I froze midway through adjusting my sleeve. “Family meeting?” I let out a short, humorless laugh. “What family meeting, Matthew? I’m not part of your family anymore. Why are you still calling me?” He sighed, as if I were the one being unreasonable. “Don’t make this harder than it has to be. Just come tonight—for the last time. It’s only dinner. Think of it as… leaving things at a good distance.” The nerve of him. My blood
