DEVON

The 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.

    ALICEI walked out of the bathroom after taking a long shower and packaging the cookies for June. I walked over to the car with her, watching as Devon's driver helped her in before I got in after.He took the driver side, and while we sat inside waiting for Devon, my phone rang. I picked it up and brought it close to my ear. "Hello, Mom. How are you doing?""I am fine, Alice. Where are you?" she asked, her voice laced with worry."I am about to drop June at school with Devon," I answered. "Why do you sound worried? Did something happen?"I heard her sigh before she spoke. "Nothing. Who is June?""I will tell you about her when I come over," I told her, and she did not say anything for a while before she spoke."Okay, please be here on time," she said before the call disconnected.I dropped the phone into my bag and turned my focus to June, who was holding her small cookie box tight on her lap."Hey, princess," I said, leaning closer to her. "Do you like the cookies we made today?"Jun

    DEVON"Devon look, I added chocolate chunks to this one," June said, pointing at the cookies on the tray in front of her before Alice picked it up and walked over to place it in the oven."It looks good, June," I told her with a smile as I pulled out a seat next to her. "You are good at making cookies. Maybe someday you will show me how to make them."June's eyes brightened, which made me feel more relief compared to when I had walked into the kitchen and saw her with Alice making cookies."Yes, Devon," June nodded, looking at me. "Mommy taught me how to make them. I will tell her to teach you too."My heart sank to my gut hearing her speak of her mother like she was still alive. The painful part of everything was that I had to keep lying to her."Yes, princess," I mumbled, my voice sounding low and weak, but luckily she did not notice."Mrs. Shaun, should I get her ready for school now?" the housekeeper asked as she walked into the room.Alice turned to her with a smile and a little

    ALICEI let out a soft breath as I walked down the stairs, brushing my hand through my hair. I tried not to think of anything, to keep my mind calm. It had been a long day, and the only thing I needed was to sleep with hope that the next day would be better.As I walked back to my room, I stopped by June's room. I grabbed the knob and pushed the door open to check on her. When I saw that she was sleeping in peace, I closed the door and made my way to my room.Lying flat on the bed, I closed my eyes and allowed sleep to take over.******The sound of my phone ringing on the nightstand pulled me out of sleep. I turned over on the bed, reaching for it, but when I grabbed the phone to answer the call, I realized it was not mine.I dropped it back, letting out a little yawn as I turned over on the bed and saw Devon sleeping next to me. He had his back to me, his hand wrapped over his chest.A weak smile left my lips as I stared at him, but when the phone started ringing again, I picked it

    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

"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
