"What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being, confident," I hummed along to the music playing through my earpods as I peeled off my clothes and dropped them onto the bed.

Stretching my arms high above my head, I decided a long shower was exactly what I needed to wash away the lingering irritation from the way Dominic had pinned me against the wall earlier. A little music would be the perfect distraction from the thoughts that had been looping endlessly through my mind.

I swayed my hi

    DEVON"But you said mommy was going to come meet me later, because she is busy. Why isn't she here yet?" June asked as I tucked her into bed.I stared at her with a smile, but my heart was aching. How would I be able to bring this up to her? How long could I continue to lie to her?"She is not here yet because she had an emergency," I said. I sat on the space close to her bed as I brushed a loose strand of her hair behind her ear. "She might be away for some days, but she is going to come back to you."She lowered her gaze, and I leaned close to press a soft kiss on her forehead."Now, go to bed. You have to wake up early tomorrow for school. Promise me you will be okay?"She nodded. "Okay, Devon. I promise.""Good girl," I mumbled, touching her cheek before I pulled the blanket to her chest level. "Good night, princess."Once she closed her eyes to sleep, I walked out of the room, closing the door behind me. I stood by it, lost in thoughts as a soft sigh left my lips. The feeling I h

    ALICEThe little girl looked away from me, and I couldn't tell if she was shy or maybe wondering who I was because she had not seen me before."Yes, Devon is right, and I bet we are going to get along so well," I said, keeping my smile soft and warm.She rested her head back on Devon's shoulder, peeking at me from behind his shirt. That made me smile. Devon lowered his gaze at her before looking over at me."Give her some time. She will get used to you," he said. I smiled as we made our way to the car. I opened the door, and Devon placed June into the back seat before I slid in beside her. Devon took his place on the driver side, starting the car with a smooth turn of his key.I kept my gaze on June, trying to get her to talk to me, but she only stared at me with wide eyes, holding her purple backpack against her chest.Devon turned to glance back at us with a slight smile. "She is very cheerful and happy when you get to know her.""I can tell," I said, turning back to June. "So, Ju

    DEVONThe ache in my chest only got worse the more I tried not to think about Alma. How could I not? No wonder I did not feel like going to that party or engaging in that arm wrestling match earlier. Maybe if I was not distracted, I would have seen her text message on time and stopped her before everything happened.The fact that she had risked her life to save Alice made me wonder about her reason behind it."I do not know for now, but I am going to figure that out, and they are going to pay for it," I said, my teeth grinding together in a tight line. "I do not care if I end up dying in the process."My hand clenched around the steering wheel as I spoke without looking in her direction. I knew if I looked at her, she would see how teary my eyes had become, how close I was to breaking even when I tried to stay strong."Devon," she whispered, her voice low as if wanting to say something but not knowing where to start. "I am so sorry that you lost your step sister because of me."Her la

    ALICEMy heart thudded in my chest at a pace that made me think it would jump out soon, as I held onto Devon's hand. The way he was reacting to the woman's death made me realize that he must have known her."No, this can't be happening," Devon groaned, shoving his hand into his hair. "She can't be dead.""Devon," I called, trying to get him to look at me, but he didn't. His gaze followed the ambulance until it was out of sight. "Do you know her?"Devon turned to look at me briefly and nodded. "She should not have come here. She should have let me do it myself. I do not care if I died in the process, but not her.""Let's go inside," my mom's voice pulled our attention away as she walked to where we were standing to meet us. "The police might start asking questions again, since they are still investigating."My mother paused when she saw the look on Devon's face, her brow knotting in a frown. I could tell she wanted to ask questions, but instead she gestured for us to go into the house.

    DEVON"Devon, do you always have to be cold?" Tristan shouted from where he was sitting, raising his hand up in the air. "Come join us in arm wrestling, and trust me, I am going to win."A slow smirk pulled up on my lips as I stared at him. It was obvious he was trying to boost his own confidence. The last time we tried arm wrestling, I beat him every single time despite all the excuses he made."Is that what you tell yourself to feel better?" I asked.He laughed, exchanging a look with Marco, another one of our teammates. "That is what a scared guy says when he is afraid of loosing."I took a sip from my drink, holding back the urge to walk straight over to the table."You should not go over there. Tristan is just trying to prove a point," Mac said, clicking his tongue. "He knows you will win.""I am not going to give him the satisfaction of a refusal," I told Mac, who was waving his hand at Tristan to stop."What a shame," Marco said in a smooth voice. "I was looking forward to seei

    ALICE"What are you going to do?" Brea asked when I did not say anything for a while. "We cannot tell the cops this. They will think we have gone nuts."I rested my back against the headboard without looking in Brea's direction. "We do not need to tell anyone about it. I have been looking out to know who it might be.""Do you think it is Dominic or his parents?" Brea asked me, her eyes wide with concern."I do not know yet," I replied, turning my gaze to meet hers. "But I suspect it could be his parents or some stranger they hired."Brea let out a tired sigh. "We have to be careful. Dominic cannot get away with everything he has been doing against you. I just wish there was a way for us to tell the cops.""We cannot tell the cops," I told Brea, my voice firm.She blinked, her face shifting as if she had just remembered the previous incident I told her about the police where they did nothing to help us. "Yes, that is a bad idea," she mumbled, rubbing her arms. "So it is up to us to fig
