Caroline’s Point of View

Some nights still feel like a test of endurance.

The past clings to me, creeping into my quiet moments, slipping between the cracks of my consciousness when I least expect it. Even now, after all these years, there are moments when I wake up in a cold sweat, my breath caught in my throat, my mind tangled in the remnants of a past that refuses to let go.

I remember one night in particular—one of the hardest nights I had ever faced.

My son had been burning up with fever, his tiny body too warm, his cries too weak, and I had felt utterly helpless. I had cradled him in my arms, rocking him back and forth, whispering soft reassurances that I wasn’t even sure he could hear. His little fingers clutched at my shirt, his breaths ragged and uneven, and the sheer weight of my fear pressed down on me so hard I thought it might crush me.

I had done everything I was supposed to do. I had read the books, listened to advi

    Caroline's Point of ViewAfter carrying Liam home on my back, the next morning seems odd, as if I were living out somebody else's life. At last, he fell asleep after having nightmares and was huddled in his bed, holding on to the bottom of my shirt as if he was afraid I would abandon him. His grasp hasn't relaxed since.I can still hear the screams in my mind. They were laced with fear, and I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to forget them. The bruises on wrists have now faded away, but the hurt behind them still remains.However, something else completely poisons the relief I should feel.Control.Adrian is in the Hill mansion kitchen ares – as always, looking sharp and perfect – poised in the kitchen doorframe, gaze concentrated on his phone. It is almost as if it were an instrument of war. A calm look is on his face, but it hides something else, so

    Penelope’s Point of ViewI always knew there was something about Lorenzo.It wasn’t obvious. He never flaunted it. Never wore arrogance like cologne or tried to dominate a room. But it was there—in the way he stood still when others fidgeted. The way he never raised his voice, only his gaze. The way people paused when he walked past. Like something in him carried weight that couldn’t be seen but could absolutely be felt.And now I know why.It’s late when I come over.Bryan fell asleep at my place after movie night, and Lorenzo texted me to bring him home. When I arrive, the front door is unlocked—something he never does—but I don’t think much of it. I walk in carrying Bryan, his little arms draped around my shoulders, his breath warm against my neck.The house is quiet.Too quiet.&n

    Caroline's Point of ViewTime isn’t moving. It’s dragging. Bleeding. Folding in on itself.Every tick of the clock feels like it’s cutting into my chest, a dull knife twisting deeper the longer we wait. I pace the length of the Hill mansion's study, my nails digging crescent moons into my palms. Adrian stands by the window, silent. Brooding. Calculating.Knoxx is crouched over his laptop, eyes unmoving, his fingers flying over the keys. His jaw is locked, the vein in his neck pulsing with restrained fury. I don’t think he’s blinked in the last ten minutes.I keep watching him.Because if I stop, my mind will go somewhere dark. Somewhere I can’t afford right now.Then his voice slices through the suffocating silence.“Got it.”I rush over to him, breath catching in my thr

    Knoxx’s Point of ViewThe mansion is full of noise—guards barking orders, security footage playing on loop, staff whispering in corners—but all I hear is the silence on the other end of my phone.That silence that came after Dolly hung up.That silence that shattered Caroline.It’s been hours since Liam disappeared.The power’s back on, but the air still feels suffocating. Thick with panic and something worse—dread. Like the walls of this place know something we don’t. Like the house is holding its breath along with the rest of us.Caroline hasn’t slept. She hasn’t eaten. She just keeps pacing the living room, her arms crossed tightly, her hair pulled up in a messy knot she probably doesn’t remember tying. Her eyes are rimmed red, but dry now. She’s past the tears. She’s in the stage wher

    Knoxx’s Point of ViewI don’t remember parking the car.I don’t remember if I even turned off the engine.All I know is that my chest is about to split open as I sprint up the front steps of the Hill mansion. The guards try to say something—I don’t hear them. My heart is pounding in my ears, louder than their words, louder than anything else.Then I see her.Caroline.She’s crumpled on the stairs, clutching something in her hands, her entire body shaking with sobs so violent it makes me want to fall apart. Her hair is a mess, her shoulders jerking, and her face—God, her face looks like someone reached in and ripped something out of her soul.“Caroline!” I call out.Her head lifts slightly.And the moment her eyes meet mine, she runs.&nb

    Caroline's Point of ViewI fold Liam’s tiny jacket and place it on the bottom shelf of the built-in wardrobe. It still smells like strawberries and grass. There’s a faint ketchup stain on the cuff I missed in the wash, but it makes me smile, even now. The Hill mansion may be enormous, cold in places, full of old wood and heavier silences—but this room is starting to feel like ours. Little by little. Drawer by drawer.“Ma’am, please,” one of the maids says gently from the doorway, wringing her hands as she glances at the pile of suitcases beside me. “We’ll take care of that. You really don’t have to trouble yourself.”I glance back at her and chuckle softly. “It’s fine, really. I need the movement. It’s practically exercise.” I shoot her a reassuring smile, wiping the light sheen of sweat from my brow. “If I stay still too long, I start overthinking again.”She opens her mouth, maybe to argue, but I cut her off with a playful, “How about turning on the TV instead? I need background noi
