Jems was so worried that Emily wasn't back yet. She kept pacing back and forth in the living room, clutching her phone tightly in her hand, checking it every few seconds. Her heart was racing. Her mind was spinning with a thousand terrible thoughts.

What if something happened to Mum? What if Jessica hurt her? What if,

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Jems' heart leaped. She ran to the door, expecting to see her mother. But when she opened it, it wasn't Emily standing there. It was Ethan. Before she could e

    It had been two weeks since Don Emilio vanished, and Maria was losing her mind.She paced the length of the safehouse living room, her heels clicking sharply against the hardwood floor, her phone gripped so tightly in her hand that the plastic case creaked under the pressure."You good for nothing idiots," she snapped, whirling on the three men standing near the door, all of them refusing to meet her eyes. "What do you mean you couldn't find him?! It's been two weeks! Two weeks with no word, no contact, nothing!"She ran her hands through her hair, pulling it back from her face in frustration, her mascara already smudged from hours of stress and sleeplessness."I'm sure that bastard Miller has him," she said, more to herself than to anyone else in the room. "I know it. I can feel it.""Roze already checked," one of the men said cautiously. "He's not being held at the station. Miller filed an official report saying he lost him during the chase. There's paperwork, witnesses. There's no

    Emily didn't answer right away."Have you forgiven him?" Jems asked carefully, watching her mother's face in the dark. "Are we going back because you've forgiven Dad?"Emily shook her head slowly. "No," Emily said quietly. "I haven't forgiven him." Hot tears were already welling in Emily's eyes by the time she finished the sentence, though she fought visibly to hold them back, blinking hard and staring out the window instead of at her daughter."Have you decided to live with him again, then?" Jems asked gently."No," Emily said, her voice firmer this time. "Absolutely not."It was Nana who finally spoke, glancing at Jems in the rearview mirror. "Richard is no longer staying at the mansion," she said simply.Jems frowned, confusion cutting through her exhaustion. "Why would he leave all of a sudden? I thought..."That was when Emily broke. She pressed a hand over her mouth, her shoulders shaking, tears finally spilling freely down her face."Mum?" Jems reached forward from the back sea

    The surgeon's words hung in the air, and for one terrible, suspended moment, nobody in that waiting room dared to breathe."The surgery was successful," he said with a heavy sigh. "We were able to repair the internal damage from both gunshot wounds. He's stable now."A ripple of relief moved through the small crowd, Sarah's knees nearly buckling, Josh's arms tightening around her to hold her upright, Emily's hand flying to her chest, and Jems letting out a joyful sob.But the doctor wasn't finished."However," he continued, "he's in a coma. It's not uncommon after this level of blood loss and trauma, especially combined with the extended time before he received treatment. His body has been through an enormous amount of shock.""A coma," Sarah repeated, the word barely making it past her lips. "What does that mean? When will he wake up?""I wish I could give you a timeline," the doctor said gently. "I truly do. But comas like this are unpredictable. It could be days. It could be weeks.

    Richard, who had been standing quietly a few feet away, stepped forward and gently placed a hand on Jems' shoulder, guiding her toward a nearby bench."Come sit down, princess," he said softly. "These aren't things Sarah needs to hear right now, not in the state she's in. Let her calm down a little. Give her some space to breathe."Jems allowed herself to be led away, sinking down onto the hard plastic bench, wiping at her face with shaking hands, watching as Emily continued to hold Sarah, murmuring soft, steady reassurances into her hair.A few minutes passed in tense, exhausted silence.Then the front doors of the emergency wing burst open, and Josh came sprinting through them, sweat soaking through his shirt, his chest heaving like he'd run the entire way from wherever he'd been when he got the call."Aunt Sarah!" he shouted, his eyes wild, scanning the waiting area frantically. "I came as fast as I could, what happened? Is he okay? Somebody tell me what's going on!"The moment Sar

    The moment Jems and Emily walked through the hospital doors, the sound hit them first.A woman's voice, sharp and broken, echoed down the corridor where she was pacing back and forth. Jems recognized her before she even saw her.Sarah Reynolds.Ethan's mother stood near the waiting area outside the surgical wing, her arms wrapped around herself, her whole frame shaking as she paced back and forth across the same six feet of tile floor, over and over, as if she just kept moving the waiting might somehow end faster.The moment her eyes landed on Jems, her expression changed."You," Sarah said, her voice cracking through the quiet hallway. "So you're the reason my son is in this condition."Jems froze mid-step, her stomach dropping straight through the floor."What did I ever do to you, Jems?" Sarah's voice rose, tears streaming down her face even as fury twisted her features. "What did I ever do to deserve this? That you would want to take my son away from me?""I'm so sorry," Jems said

    Emily and Jems left the station together, Emily's arm wrapped tightly around her daughter's shoulders, guiding her toward the car without another glance back at the room where Mira sat, alone, waiting to give her full statement.Mira was kept in custody, placed in a small holding room down the hall from the interview rooms, the door left unlocked but a uniformed officer stationed just outside as a formality more than anything else. She sat with her knees pulled up to her chest, her arms wrapped around them, staring blankly at the wall.It was barely twenty minutes later when the door burst open."MIRA!"Her mother's voice cracked through the small room, and Mira's head snapped up just in time to see both her parents rushing toward her, her mother's face streaked with tears, her father right behind her, his expression a mixture of confusion and barely restrained panic."Mum," Mira started, but her mother had already crossed the room and pulled her into a fierce hug."What happened?" he

    Jems’ mum was on the couch watching TV. Her hair was pulled up in a messy bun with a few strands falling across her face. She was wearing a pink jersey, shorts, and socks while eating a bag of chips. Just then, Jems, who had just gotten back from school, opened the door and walked in with Derick.“

    Don Emilio sat at the edge of the massive pool in his safe house smoking a cigar. He lived on the outskirts of town with the rest of his syndicate; the villa was heavily fortified with high-tech security and surrounded by a dense, lush forest.“He still hasn’t changed his mind,” Don Emilio said int

    One month later.The continuous ringing of Jems’ phone woke her up from sleep.“Hello?” Jems said with a sleepy voice.“Miss Jems, I’m sure you’re awake and almost ready for school?” Derick said with a stern voice.“Umm… yes, Derick… I’m definitely awake,” Jems said as she jumped out of bed and rus

    “Mira is going to kill me, I’m an hour late!” Jems muttered, rushing toward the library with a coffee in one hand and a stack of books in the other. She looked stunning in a long brown Fendi coat over a white Hermès turtleneck, paired with fitted jeans and knee-high Gucci leather boots. A crossbody
