Please, call me Auntie ย ย ย Epilogue
147. Soraya๐The 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 didnโt turn right away, I didnโt have to cause I felt himโTrying to distract me, Mrs. Kline?โ Thaneโs voice was low, amused, and dangerous.A smile curved my lips as I slowly turned to face him.โIs it working?โ I asked softly.Hi
Please, call me Auntie ย ย ย The Ending
146. Thane๐ผTwo 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.โFeels strange finally being here,โ he admitted.โYeah,โ 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 ย ย ย Three months later
Soraya๐Months 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 cafรฉs, 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 Jasperโs 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. โWhat? You're here to gloat!โ He sneers behind the glass. I shake my head in shame, โ I thought you should know no one will get you out, your father and grandfather are gone.โ I placed the picture against the glass for him. โ You might as well get comfortable in there.โ โ No, no! Impossible, you're lying!โ he was yelling. The guard behind him approache
Please, call me Auntie ย ย ย The Healing
Thane๐ผThree 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.โHard to believe this place is finally done,โ he muttered.I didn
Please, call me Auntie ย ย ย Loose end
143.Soraya๐I 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 wasnโt 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
Please, call me Auntie ย ย ย The end of the line
142. Thane๐ผWhile 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.โThane!โโWhat?โ I said calmly, already walking toward the hallway.โIโm holding chocolate!โ she pointed out. โAnd strawberries,โ I say with a smile on my face. โYouโre going to make me drop them!โ she yelled. I couldn't help but laugh at her expression of shock and amusement. โThen hold them tighter.โShe laughed despite herself, wrapping one arm around my neck while trying to balance the plate in the other hand.โWhere are you taking me?โโYouโll see,โ 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

89. Soraya๐ I have been staring at the papers in front of me for hours since I got them back from Thane. I read and read over and over, until the words become blurry, and I see nothing. Sigh, I should be happy that I got them signed with no problem, but why does my heart ache? Why am I not excite

94. Thane๐ผ Fuming from Soraya's outrage, thinking that she could go on dates as if I didn't exist, drove me mad. I spent the entire night after dropping her off at the house drinking and barely slept. With a grunt, I forced myself to get out of bed and get myself ready for work. Showered and dre
