SAVED BY MY BROTHERS Chapter 144
Outside in the garden, Marcus reached for another piece of meat off the grill and said, almost as an afterthought: “Oh — and apparently the footage they found shows someone in a mask and specific gloves. That’s all they have.”Mrs. Ashford waved her hand. “Marcus, please. Don’t ruin a perfectly good meal with that. Let them find whoever they need to find. That’s their job.”Marcus shrugged and let it go.The barbecue continued.In the bedroom, Zara looked at the two men standing in the middle of her floor and let the silence sit for a moment before she spoke.“Your mother,” she said to Mark, “thought she was being clever. Paying someone to poison my food.” She tilted her head slightly. “But the girl she chose told me everything. Every word of it.” She paused. “So I returned the favour. A simple gas leak. I made sure you and your father were out of the house first — made sure you were safe. Your mother was alone because that was her own choice that evening.” She looked at Mark steadily

Lilly screamed until her throat hurt and the sound bounced off the warehouse walls and went nowhere useful. The masked figure stopped. Reached up. Pulled the mask away. Mark. He was smiling — the particular smile of someone who has been planning something for long enough that the execution of it feels like relief. He reached into his bag and produced the knife, holding it loosely, not threatening yet but making the possibility very clear. “I came to your school for you,” he said. “I want to ruin you the way your mother ruined us.” Lilly stared at him. “What are you talking about?” “Your mother.” His voice hardened. “She took my father’s marriage. She destroyed my family. If she hadn’t interfered, everything would have been different—” “Are you serious?” Lilly’s fear had not gone but something else had arrived alongside it — the particular fury of someone who has grown up knowing exactly what the truth is. “Your mother is the one who destroyed my family. She helped a man try to

After Bella died, Mark started to live with Henry.It was not a gentle upbringing.Henry’s new apartment was the same shabby, defeated place it had always been — the same bottles, the same smell, the same television flickering at nobody. The difference now was that there was a boy in it, growing up inside all of that, absorbing it the way children absorb everything around them whether anyone intends them to or not.Henry was a thief. He had always been a thief — small jobs, opportunistic crimes, the particular moral flexibility of a man who had decided long ago that the world owed him something and had been collecting informally ever since. He drank too much and worked too little and loved his son in the only way he knew how, which was imperfectly and with conditions attached.But there was one thing Henry planted in Mark with complete consistency, watered every day, tended with more care than he gave anything else in his life.Hatred.Zara Ashford, he told him. The woman who called

The packing was quiet and methodical — clothes folded, boxes sealed, a life condensed into luggage with the particular efficiency of people who have learned not to be sentimental about objects.The rest of the family had already gone to their respective places. It was just the two of them now, moving through the house that had held them all for so long, carrying things to the car in small loads.Mrs. Ashford was in the sitting room when they came down for the last time.She was pretending to read something. She was not reading it.“My baby.” She looked up at Zara with a brightness that was working very hard to cover something else entirely. “Where exactly is this new house?”“Close, Mum. Very close. I’ll be coming to see you all the time.” Zara crossed the room and held her — properly, for a long moment. “You won’t even have time to miss me.”Mrs. Ashford hugged Lilly next, pulling her in tight, pressing her lips to her hair. “Take care of my grandchild,” she murmured. Then, to Lilly:

They all sat down.Ann looked around the room — at each face in turn, measuring the weight of what she was about to say against the silence that was already pressing in from every direction.“I never expected,” she began, “that I would ever find myself here. In your family’s home. About to marry into it.” She folded her hands in her lap. “So before anything else is said, I want to tell you everything myself.”Nobody spoke.“I was cruel to Zara,” she said. “As cruel as the rest of them. I treated her badly and I treated Lilly badly and I have no excuse for it that would satisfy anyone in this room, including myself.” She paused. “I was part of that world and I behaved like it.”Julian had gone very still beside her. Marcus looked at the table. Victor’s jaw was tight.Mrs. Ashford reached across and took Zara’s hand quietly.“But there was a day,” Ann continued, “when everything changed for me. The accident — the one Dante and Margaret arranged for Zara and Lilly. When I found out what

Life after Dante was quieter than Zara had known how to imagine while she was still fighting for it.She slowed down. Not from exhaustion but from choice — the deliberate, conscious decision to be present in the life she had worked so hard to reclaim. She went to the office when she wanted to and came home early when she didn’t. She took Lilly to school herself in the mornings. She sat through homework sessions and bedtime stories and the small, ordinary complaints of a child who is healthy and safe and has enough peace in her life to be bored sometimes.It was, she thought, the most beautiful thing she had ever experienced.Dante’s name was not spoken in the house. Not because it was forbidden — simply because it had ceased to be relevant. He existed somewhere else now, in a world that no longer overlapped with theirs, and they had all made a quiet collective decision to leave him there.Mrs. Ashford appeared in the kitchen doorway one morning with the particular brightness of someon

Mrs. Ashford rushed out of the doctor’s room like a woman possessed. Her heels barely touched the floor as she ran down the corridor, eyes wild, heart pounding. The moment she reached the waiting area and saw Rosey, she froze then lunged forward.She grabbed Rosey’s cheeks, her hands trembling.“My

Adrian sat alone at the café, his fingers tapping restlessly against the porcelain cup in front of him. He hated waiting. More than that, he hated Dante and he didn’t even know when that hatred had grown this deep. Yet here he was, answering his call.The door finally opened, and Dante walked in, u

“Is she dead?” Rosey asked.Adrian looked guilty. “I really don’t know if she’s dead or not. But what I do know ” he paused, his voice unsteady, “ I clearly saw Dante run her over. I don’t think she survived.”Rosey sighed.He was in Rosey’s room. She had started staying at Ashford’s mansion with M

“I invited her,” Victor said evenly, “because she saved my life. That means I carry her blood in me as well. She deserves to be here tonight.”Rosey’s fingers tightened around the glass of wine she was holding. Her smile stayed in place, but it didn’t reach her eyes.“Oh… is that so, big brother?”
