MasukFor a moment, I don’t know what to say. I just stare at them, my chest tightening with something dangerously close to rage.No wonder they clang to Sierra. She gave them the love that was clearly being withheld by Brook.To them Sierra was hope and love. She was their safe place. Someone to love the
After the meeting with Adrian, I stood outside the bar for a while, minutes after he left. For a second I didn’t know what to do or where to go until I decided to go to the hospital. I haven’t been to see Sierra since the day of her breakdown.By the time I get to the hospital, the weight of everyth
For a moment I’m stunned not expecting him to ask that.“I heard Grandpa and Grandma talking. They said that Aunt Brook pushed Aunt Sierra down the stairs because she didn’t want her to have your baby” he answers my silent question.When I don’t say anything, he continues, “Besides, when both Aunt B
I don’t wait. I pull out my phone again and scroll to a number, before I press call.It rings twice before it’s picked up.“Noah,” the voice on the other end says, calm and steady.“Uncle Reaper,” I reply. “I need your help.”There’s a brief silence, and I can almost picture him on the other end, al

“Don’t worry, we’ll vouch for you when they start asking questions,” Benji says, his voice softer now. “You’re their best worker, and under your leadership, our team has won Team of the Year multiple times. Our research breakthroughs didn’t happen by accident.” He gives me a steady look. “That has t
I get a series of okays from the rest, but Jocelyn remains silent, fuming in her seat.I settle at my desk, powering up my computer, ready to actually work for once without my thoughts spiraling.I’ve barely gotten comfortable when the receptionist pokes her head into the lab.“Sierra?
