Taken by my stepfathers The Long Game
Greta's POVI waited until Felix's car cleared the corner before I picked up the burner phone, the one I kept taped inside the bathroom vent, the one none of Felix's careful little folders had ever thought to mention because none of his careful little folders knew it existed. Three rings, then his voice, clipped and impatient the way it always was when he thought I was wasting his time."Report," Marcus said."He's in deeper than I expected," I sat at the kitchen table, the same table where Felix had sat with his empty hands and his shaking apology, and I almost felt something looking at the chair he usually took. Almost. I'd learned a long time ago not to trust the almost. "He stopped touching the Schmidt girl. Won't say why, but I'd guess she's noticed something's off.""That's a problem.""That's an opportunity." I picked at a loose thread on the tablecloth, watching it unravel a little further with each pull. "If Eden's pulling back from him, he's going to come looking for somewhe

Eden's POVMichael picked up on the second ring. "You alone?""I'm alone." I'd taken the stairs down to the wine cellar, the one room in the estate I trusted to be free of cameras, a holdover from when Daddy still kept his oldest bottles somewhere even his own family couldn't watch him visit. "Tell me.""It's not nothing." His voice had lost the careless edge he usually wore, the one he'd built fast in the weeks since he'd talked his way into this family with a body on a church floor as his entry fee. "Greta's been receiving wire transfers. Small ones, broken up so they don't trip anything automatic. Six deposits over the last month, each one under the reporting limit.""From who?""That's the part that took me longer than it should have." A pause, the sound of papers shifting somewhere on his end. "The account routes through three shells before it lands anywhere traceable. But I followed it back far enough to get a name on the original transfer. Daniel Cross."The name didn't mean an

Silas's POVI found Felix in the east wing gym at midnight, working the heavy bag with the kind of focus he usually reserved for nothing in his life. No music, no audience, and no joke loaded and ready for whoever walked in. Just him and the bag and the dull, heavy sound of his fists landing again and again until his knuckles were raw against the tape."You're going to break your hands," I said.He didn't stop. "Wouldn't be the worst thing that happened to me this week."I leaned against the doorframe and waited him out. Felix had never been able to keep punishing himself in silence once someone was watching. It was the one tell he couldn't smooth over with charm, the one place the mask actually slipped.He stopped eventually, breathing hard, sweat soaking through his shirt, and turned to face me with something close to defiance in his eyes, like he already knew what conversation I'd come to have and wanted to get ahead of it."You're here about Greta.""I'm here about Greta.""Then s
Taken by my stepfathers The Cost
Felix's POVI went back three days later with nothing in my hands. No folder, no coffee, no reason I could point to if anyone asked why I kept finding excuses to cross that bridge. I'd run out of gifts that let me avoid actually showing up as myself, and some part of me understood, even before I knocked, that today was the day I didn't get to hide behind one.Greta opened the door without the chain this time. She looked at my empty hands, then at my face, and something in her expression settled, like she'd been waiting to see if I'd come without an offering attached."No folder today," she said."No folder today.""Come in, then." She stepped back, and I followed her into the kitchen, where the same table sat between us, bare now except for two mugs she filled without asking if I wanted one. She set mine down across from her and sat, folding her hands in front of her like she was preparing for something neither of us had said out loud yet."I want to talk about the room," she said.I

Greta's POVI read through the folder twice after he left, sitting at the kitchen table with the coffee going cold beside me, and both times I came away thinking the same thing. It was good. Thorough. The kind of work that took real hours, real contacts, and real effort to put together, and none of it would have done him any good if I'd refused to take it.That was the part that kept catching in my chest. He hadn't needed me to take it. He could have left it on the porch and walked away with his conscience clear, and instead he'd stood in my kitchen looking like a man waiting for a verdict he wasn't sure he deserved.I'd spent two years learning to read men who wanted something from me. It was a skill you picked up fast in witness protection, in the years before that, and in every house that ever called itself temporary. You learned to clock the moment a kindness turned into a debt, the second a favor became a hook you'd spend months trying to work free of. Felix had never struck me a
Taken by my stepfathers Off Script
Felix's POVI didn't say much on the drive back. Eden noticed. She noticed everything now, some sharpened instinct she'd picked up since the church, since she'd learned what it cost to make the hard calls herself. But she didn't push, not right away. She just watched the city slide past the window and let me have the silence for a few miles before she finally broke it."You're quiet," she said."I'm always quiet when I'm driving; it helps me think.""You never think when you're driving. You sing along to whatever's on the radio and tell me terrible jokes." She turned her head, studying me in that way she had now, like she was cataloguing something for later. "Something's wrong.""Nothing's wrong.""Felix.""I said nothing's wrong." I didn't mean for it to come out as sharp as it did, and I caught the way she went still beside me, surprised, because I never snapped at anyone. Ease was the whole point of me. Ease was the costume that let me move through this family without anyone asking

Eden’s POVI was going to leave. I’d packed my things, mentally, at least, and told myself that this city, this woman, and this whole pathetic attempt at a mother-daughter reconciliation wasn’t worth it. I was going to walk away with my dignity and pretend none of it touched me and also pretend I d

DanielHer breathing was shallow in the car, ragged, like each inhale hurt her lungs. “I—I can’t breathe,” she gasped, grabbing at her chest. That was all I needed to hear.“Hospital. Now.” My voice was steel.The driver hit the gas, and I pulled her closer; her body curled into mine like she was t
