“ How long is the contract with the Sage family?” The question was the first thing that greeted me when I pushed open the door to my office on Tuesday morning. Taking a step back, I checked the name on the door to make sure I didn't walk into the wrong office, but no, I was in the right place.

I checked behind Erik's desk, but he was nowhere to be found; that's three months of his paycheck gone. Taking a deep breath, I pushed the door back open, and that voice again, “ Well?”

  • Please, call me Auntie    Epilogue

    147. Soraya🍒The piano room has always been my favorite, so I made sure we had one in this new house when we were looking for a place. The soft lighting, quiet elegance, it was a place where everything slowed down except my heart.Tonight, it beat a little faster because if my plan doesn't go as planned, everything will be ruined. I glanced around, making sure everything was perfect: the champagne chilled, the glasses set, the fresh fruit, and the cheeseboard arranged just right. Soft music played in the background, the notes floating through the room like a promise.And me? I stood there in nothing but silk, a robe that barely clung to my body, teasing more than it hid.Waiting for my husband. The door opened quietly behind me, I didn’t turn right away, I didn’t have to cause I felt him“Trying to distract me, Mrs. Kline?” Thane’s voice was low, amused, and dangerous.A smile curved my lips as I slowly turned to face him.“Is it working?” I asked softly.Hi

  • Please, call me Auntie    The Ending

    146. Thane🎼Two weeks laterThe cemetery was quiet, not the heavy kind that hangs over funerals, but the peaceful kind that settles over places where time has already done its work. Thomas stood beside me as we faced the headstone, our mother's headstone. For years, neither of us had come here with too much anger, too many unanswered questions, buried along with her. Now that the truth is out, the lies are gone, even when they took another important person from us, but it all led us to the truth eventually. Somehow, standing here becomes easier, seeing the names of the women who took care of us until they could no longer do it, feels strange. Thomas rubbed the back of his neck, staring down at the flowers he had placed earlier.“Feels strange finally being here,” he admitted.“Yeah,” I said quietly, resentment on my part not for her but for the fact that I couldn't protect her or them made me not come here. We stood there a while longer before walking a few

  • Please, call me Auntie    Three months later

    Soraya🍒Months have a strange way of smoothing the edges of chaos. The city still moved the same. Cars still rushed through the streets, people still laughed in cafés, and life kept pushing forward as if nothing had ever happened, but for those of us who lived through it, everything felt different.I had taken control of Jasper’s old company, though not in the way people expected. Publicly, a new CEO ran the place, a sharp, experienced businessman I hired to be the face of the operation. Then I went to visit him, and he was looking worse than I expected for a man who had just been in jail for a few weeks. “What? You're here to gloat!” He sneers behind the glass. I shake my head in shame, “ I thought you should know no one will get you out, your father and grandfather are gone.” I placed the picture against the glass for him. “ You might as well get comfortable in there.” “ No, no! Impossible, you're lying!” he was yelling. The guard behind him approache

    Thane🎼Three Months later.That's how long it took for us to settle the dust, three months since the gunshots echoed through the Kline house. I watched the man I used to call my father die at my feet in the hands of a son he did everything for; the irony of the story didn't lose its shine on me. At the end of it all, one lesson learned was that secrets buried for decades ripped the family apart. No one came out alive, literally. Now the house was gone, sold, stripped of everything that once carried the Kline name. I stood in the empty living room, the late afternoon sun stretching long shadows across the hardwood floor. The place felt hollow now, like the walls themselves were relieved to be rid of us finally. A moving crew had already cleared most of the furniture. Only a few boxes remained scattered around the room.Thomas moved through the hallway carrying another box of old documents.“Hard to believe this place is finally done,” he muttered.I didn

    143.Soraya🍒I was just about to get comfortable on the couch when I noticed that Thane had forgotten his phone long after he left. It sat on the kitchen counter, where he must have set it down while grabbing his keys. When Thomas came to pick him up, they were rushing to meet their father to find the truth. I hope they get the answers that they are going after.With a sigh, I drop the book on the table, pick up the phone, and look at it before grabbing my jacket and heading for the door. The Kline house wasn’t far. The roads were quiet at this hour, and the sky was bright with the sun just settling in high up.When I pulled up near the front of the property, the house looked dark; every light inside was off. Something about it made the back of my neck prickle. I stepped out of the car just as a shadow moved along the side of the house, and I froze. There was a shadow moving across the house, moving closer. I saw it was a man; he moved quickly, quietly sli

    142. Thane🎼While she was feeding me a strawberry, I thought about the bath I had prepared for her before coming down to the kitchen to look for her. Before she could respond, I grabbed her around the waist and lifted her off the floor. Why not take the party upstairs instead of waiting? Soraya gasped, clutching the small bowl and plate.“Thane!”“What?” I said calmly, already walking toward the hallway.“I’m holding chocolate!” she pointed out. “And strawberries,” I say with a smile on my face. “You’re going to make me drop them!” she yelled. I couldn't help but laugh at her expression of shock and amusement. “Then hold them tighter.”She laughed despite herself, wrapping one arm around my neck while trying to balance the plate in the other hand.“Where are you taking me?”“You’ll see,” was the only thing I said. By the time we reached the bedroom, Soraya had already figured it out. The bathroom door was open, steam drifting into the room from the large b

    6. Soraya🍒 I arrived at the office just past noon after running some errands for the house. I had just sat behind the desk when my assistant Eve walked in. “ Miss, the realtor called and said someone wants to buy the house.” I'm shocked. “ Already?” I only put it up for sale yesterday. Then aga
