THIRD PERSON

The Strafford family touched down at Houston Executive Airport in their private jet, and everything came to a standstill.

The moment the sleek silver aircraft rolled to a halt, airport staff snapped to attention, cameras flashed, and curious travelers froze in awe. It wasn’t just any arrival—it was the Straffords.

At the top of the stairway stood Grandma Lilliane Strafford, dressed in a pearl-gray suit and her signature diamond brooch that glinted under the sun. Her posture was regal, her eyes sharp. She wasn’t just a matriarch—she was a legend.

Behind her were Mr. and Mrs. Strafford—Alicia’s parents—disembarking with quiet grace, their expressions unreadable but dignified. Their presence radiated wealth, influence, and an unmistakable aura of old-world power.

Alicia stood by the tarmac, her heart thudding against her ribcage.

“Grandma,” she breathed, stepping forward.

“Alicia!” Grandma Strafford opened her arms, and Alicia walked straight into them. The scent of lavender

    TILDA“Mommy, when do we go to school?” Diamond tugged at the hem of my dress, her voice barely above a whisper.My heart sank.“School, um?” I echoed, caught off guard.“Yes, Tilda,” Gideon’s voice came soft but firm. “If you’re staying here, that should be considered too.”He was right. Everything had happened so fast—our sudden move, the uncertainty—school had completely slipped my mind. But they needed it. They’d already lost time, and without structure, they'd fall behind.“Don’t worry about sending us to school now, Mom,” Denzel’s voice cut in.I turned to him. He stood in the shade, holding his laptop.“What do you mean?” I asked.“I just registered us for online classes,” he said proudly, walking over. “It’s free. All of us. Look.”He tilted the laptop toward me, the screen displaying a bright blue website with icons and tabs.“You shouldn’t have to do that,” I mumbled, the shame already creeping in. Why didn’t I think of it first?“Come on, Mommy,” he urged. “We already took

    THIRD PERSON “You know what, Grandma…” Alicia began, her tone light, almost playful.She curled a lock of hair around her finger and smiled in that familiar coquettish way.“Maybe you should just wait until you see Oscar tonight. Then you two can talk about everything you want—face to face.”Yes, Alicia was confident that Monsieur King would receive them. But Oscar? That was another matter entirely. She wasn’t certain he would agree to play along or even show up tonight at the King estate. And if he didn’t, what other lie could she possibly tell? How many more threads could she spin before the whole web collapsed?Truthfully, Alicia was at a loss.Still, just like always, she held on to the belief that she could maneuver her way out of it. But when she glanced at Grandma, the reassurance she hoped to find wasn’t there.Instead, the old lady gave her a long, exaggerated roll of the eyes, followed by a sigh that felt like the weight of an entire history pressing down. Her shoulders ros

    KRISTIEI tricked the guard to find my way into the exclusive VIP suite. The hallway leading to the upper lounge was bathed in warm gold lights, with elegant wall moldings and exotic potted plants placed with such intent it made the space feel like a royal gallery. Each step on the plush carpet silenced the echo of my heels, but it didn’t quiet the tension in my chest.The exclusive suite had a reputation—only the top 1% got in. It wasn’t for people like me. But tonight, I didn’t come as myself.With a forged identity card tucked neatly into my clutch and my voice laced with practiced confidence, I told the guard I had a prior reservation with a top CEO. I had to feign the urgency of a late executive. He glanced once at the ID, hesitated, then nodded me through.I was in.Now, my next task: find out where Oscar Gray was. If only Oscar had stuck to his usual meeting place, I would know exactly where to look.Soon I spotted a server passing by. “Excuse me, dear,” I stopped her.“Good af

    OSCAR GRAY“Ava told me what happened the last time, man,” Wilson muttered, tugging at the neck of his shirt as he leaned closer. “I could call her. She said she’s willing to talk. You should at least try to make it up to her.”I stared at the drink in front of me. “Let’s just drink.”He groaned. “Oscar, come on. She’s heartbroken. You’ve found out so much about Tilda already. At this point, you should be trying to move on. Tilda’s gone, man. She could be with the father of her kids right now, while you’re here sulking.”“Stop it, Wilson,” I said quietly, eyes narrowing.His words stung, but I didn’t let them settle. Not until I heard directly from Tilda would I start drawing conclusions. She owed me an explanation—I deserved that much.I don’t expect them to understand, and I don’t blame them still. They’ve had it easy with relationships.“Gerald,” Wilson nudged him. “Talk some sense into this man.”Gerald exhaled. “You waited five years, Oscar. Five. And now what? She disappears wit

    TILDASeated inside that same unfamiliar room I had woken up in five years ago, on that same bed that held just enough secrets to keep me up at night, my mind wandered to what life might have been if I hadn’t met the stranger that night.For the quadruplets, I held no regret. Not even a little. But for everything else? I couldn’t say the same.“Mr. Gray,” Edna’s voice floated from the doorway, slicing through my thoughts.I turned sharply. “Ed—” The rest of her name caught in my throat.She stood stiffly at the threshold like she’d seen too much or knew too much. My breath shortened. My palms began to sweat in a room that was already too cold.“Is that who you’re running from?” she asked, stepping in with a quiet calm that only made my nerves buzz louder.I shook my head—more out of panic than denial—searching her face for a clue. Just how much did she know? Had she heard the rumour? That I tried to lure Oscar Gray using the children?It wasn’t true. On the contrary, I had done everyt
