ログインPOV: Selina“You were looking for this?” she teased, dangling it slightly before slipping it into her pocket. Anger flared through me, hot and sudden.“You shouldn’t be here, we have no ties, and I don’t wish to be know as a part of your family.”“And yet I am,” she whispered.“Funny how that works, funny how I’m always winning. Why’s that, Lina, why do you think I’m winning?Is it because you are a stupid loser?” she laughed, laughing so hysterically that I almost cried. For a moment, neither of us spoke. The silence stretched, thick with years of hatred, resentment, and something darker that had always existed between us. We were sisters, step sisters that hate each other so much. Nothing about us had ever been the same, not once had she treated me like a sister, and I’ll be damn if I let her bully me when im at my lowest.“I heard everything,” she suddenly said, her tone shifting. My brows furrowed as I eyed her warily.“What are you talking about?”“Your little conversation,” she
POV: Selina“Stay here, and wait for my message. Don’t leave without hearing from me first, and when I give you a location I need you to drop everything else, and meet me there as soon as possible.” He told me firmly, leaving me alone with Sofia.“He’s going to do something stupid, isn’t he?” I asked her, watching through the window on the private ward I was moved to. He moved me to a more private ward with his sister and he asked Chris to gather everyone and meet him at the mansion. So I’m guessing that he’s finally run out of patience and I hate to think of the outcome of his impatience and anger.“He’s getting ready for war,” she responded sadly, her eyes fixed on her brother’s figure as he gave us one last look before getting into the car and speeding away.“For so long he has been manipulated and silenced by Gramps, but this time he’s fighting back and I’m so excited to see him fight for what he wants. But I would hate to see him hurt, I can’t bear the thought of it.” She said, h
POV: Edmond“What do you mean moved him, moved him how, and why?Where is he now, where did he move him to?” She asked me desperately, almost crying. That image consumed me, the look of desperation etched on her face as I delivered the horrifying news. Nothing had prepared me for the way her tears fell, hot and relentless.“He took him, Lina, he wants to use him against me. It’s all my fault, I should have been one step ahead, I should have taken Better care of you and your brother.” I told her sadly.“He’s using him to hurt us...” she sobbed.“He’s using my little Jason as leverage.” She let out with pain in her heart. I had never felt more useless in my life. That my grandfather could stoop so low to kidnap an innocent boy to force me into compliance was sickening. I wanted to punch something, to scream at the walls, but instead, life continued its relentless pace, and the world beyond the grand entrance remained blissfully indifferent to my chaos.“Just take me to him, please Eddie
POV: SelinaLooking at me on that hospital bed made him feel guilty. I could see it in his eyes. The regret. The panic. The shame he tried so hard to hide. When I asked for my kid brother Jason, he froze. That was when I knew something was wrong. He had no answer, no immediate reassurance, no calm explanation. Just shock, just silence. Just that haunted look in his eyes like the ground beneath him had suddenly cracked open.How could he not know where Jason was?I trusted him!I trusted him with my heart. With my body. With my future. I trusted him to keep my brother safe when I had no one else to rely on. When his grandfather forced me out of that house like I was nothing. When he stood there and let that old man make him choose between me and Alexia. And now he couldn’t even tell me where Jason was. I watched him think. His jaw tight. His eyes distant. Calculating. Searching for a solution that didn’t exist.“Jason should still be at home,” he finally said. “Exactly where we left hi
POV: EdmondI left my grandfathers presence in anger. I am determined to find the boy without his help and prove to him that I don’t need him to get the job done. I searched everywhere I could think of, I visited hospitals, and any other organizations that care for kids with his kind of disabilities. But I couldn’t find him, I kept searching for him, involving street thugs and even the cops. But no luck, not even a clue.After searching for Jason all day, I finally gave up. I’ve searched everywhere I could think of, and yet he is nowhere to be found, I had no choice but to go back home and face my grandfather again. I stood there, the door swinging shut behind me with a force that echoed my furious heartbeat. Gramps was seated behind his immense oak desk, a picture of calm authority, as if my entrance hadn’t just shattered the delicate peace of his office. He looked up, an eyebrow arched, the hint of a smirk playing at the corners of his lips.“You have quite the nerve, Edmond,” he sa
POV: EdmondLooking at Selina on the hospital bed made me feel more guilty than I have ever felt in my life. She looked small under those white sheets. Pale. Fragile. Tubes attached to her arm. Machines blinking beside her. And yet, even in that condition, her first thought was not herself. It was Jason, her kid brother.When she asked for her kid brother, my heart dropped to my stomach. I had nothing to tell her. Nothing!Because in the chaos of fighting with my grandfather, in the rage of watching her being forced out of my house, in the madness of choosing between her and Alexia, I totally forgot about her brother. How could I have been so stupid and careless?She trusted me with her heart. She trusted me with her body. She trusted me to protect her, to protect Jason. And I failed before even trying. I couldn’t do anything when my grandfather forced her out of the house. I stood there while he made me choose Alexia over her. I watched Selina pack her pride and walk out with her hea
POV: Selina“Come on, Lina, don’t do this now. Don’t ruin the perfect moment we just shared, please. I’ll have this sorted out, and there will be no need to move out. Understand?” He asked me, kissing my lips.He pulls me into the shower, his hands exploring my body as he whispers, “I want to make
POV: SelinaArguing with Eddie about his decision is just a waste of both our times because he has already set his mind on it and the plan was already in motion. He trusts her enough to listen to her idea without informing me. I guess I should just let him go on with his plans while I make my own p
POV: SelinaEdmond wasn’t back when I got out from Jason’s room. I didn’t bother looking for him because I don’t want to get into another confrontation with Nicole. Its way past midnight and Edmond is still out there with Nicole. My mind keeps conjuring different thought, creating nasty pictures in
POV: Selina“Wait, Nicole!” he stopped her before she walked away. I saw that smile on her face, that knowing smirk that shows that she knows exactly what she is doing. I have always felt suspicious of her since this whole thing started. For the life of me, I can’t understand how she suddenly chang
