The music was loud. Laughter and chatter filled the club. Everyone around me seemed to be enjoying themselves. But me? I sat there in the VIP box, my thoughts far away from the stage in front of me.

I was looking at the performance below, but I wasn't really seeing anything.

Marcus sat beside me, clearly excited.

"Isn't this place great?" Marcus leaned in, grinning. “I told you you'd like this place.”

I looked at him, but I didn’t answer. He kept talking, excitedly chattering about how he looked forward to Scarlet Veil's performance tonight.

“Man, I’ve been waiting to see her perform live,” he said. “The whole city’s obsessed with her lately. This is going to be good.”

Marcus kept talking, but his voice slowly faded in my ears. It was like someone had turned down the volume of the world around me.

My thoughts were elsewhere.

Skylar.

I was thinking of her.

Even here, she was still the only thing on my mind. I’d already started mapping out the plan in my head. After the show, I’d

    CelesteThe room was filled with laughter and the excited voices of my friends. We were gathered in the private lounge of my family estate, and all eyes were on the beautiful, elegant dress that had just been delivered.“Oh my God, Celeste!” Ava squealed as she clasped her hands dramatically. “It’s stunning!”“It’s not just stunning, it’s a masterpiece,” Chloe added, almost breathless. “Is this really from Xavière Vonn? The famous designer who only dresses royalty and billionaires?”I nodded proudly. “Yes. Mom made the order months ago. She said the designer had to fly in the materials from Paris.”Cassie, my childhood friend, let out a low whistle. “Now that’s what I call serious dedication.”The dress hung elegantly on the gold rack nearby. It was a soft champagne hue, flowing with layers of silk and detailed hand embroidery. The neckline was off-shoulder, and tiny crystal-like beads sparkled subtly around the bodice. The waist was cinched to perfection. The bottom flared out softly

    SkylarThe loud buzzing of my phone dragged me out of sleep.I groaned and shifted under the sheets, stretching my hand blindly across the nightstand to find the source of the noise. My fingers finally wrapped around it, and I cracked one eye open just enough to see Amber’s name on the screen.Great.I slid to answer, pressing the phone against my ear. “Hello?”“Sky, get up. I’m coming over. Wear something comfy. We’re going somewhere nice.”I blinked. “What? Where are we going?”Amber’s voice came through like a burst of energy I wasn’t ready for. “It’s a surprise. You’ll love it.”I turned to my side and buried half of my face into the pillow. “Amber… I’m really not in the mood to go anywhere. I just want to sleep.”“Nope,” she replied cheerily, ignoring my whining. “You’ve been too locked up lately, and I’m not taking no for an answer. I’ll be there in thirty. Be ready!”Then she hung up.I stared at my phone for a moment in disbelief before sighing heavily. “Unbelievable,” I mumbl

    ColeI couldn’t move.For a few seconds, it was like everything around me had gone silent, and the only thing echoing in my head were Jason’s words.“Skylar… might be my sister.”I stared at him, completely lost for words. Jason had a steady look on his face. He wasn’t joking. He wasn’t messing around. He meant it.“What… what are you saying?” I asked, my voice filled with disbelief.Jason nodded slowly, eyes serious. “I’ve been investigating her parents for a while now. Just trying to connect the dots, you know? And just a few weeks ago, I got the confirmation I needed — Skylar was adopted by the McLairs.”I blinked, unable to wrap my head around it. “Adopted?”“Yes,” he said softly, leaning forward, “And the more I dug, the clearer it became.”I leaned back in my seat. My head was spinning.Skylar. Adopted?That thought had never crossed my mind. Not even once.Of course, I had done a background check on her parents when we first met — basic stuff. Income, connections, family ties.

    ColeIt was finally the weekend. I came down the stairs slowly and headed straight to Amelia’s room.I paused at the hallway and noticed that her door was slightly open. I knocked, and as I peeked in, I saw her standing beside her suitcase, zipping the last part shut. Her other bags were already neatly arranged by the corner of the room.She looked up just then, and our eyes met. I gave her a small nod.“Morning.”“Morning,” she replied quietly. Her face didn’t hold any sadness, no sign of the tears like last time. That surprised me a little, but deep down, I felt a bit relieved.I cleared my throat and walked in.“I just wanted to make sure you had everything you needed. As I mentioned earlier, the new apartment has been fully set up—everything should be in order. If anything’s not to your liking, you can let me know. Reed and his team will be there for your safety and protection. I also transferred some money into your personal account for upkeep.”She nodded once, saying nothing.I

    SkylarAfter the call with Jason, Ingrid began to help me get dressed, carefully zipping up my dress and smoothing my hair down with her gentle hands.I glanced at the clock. No rushing to the office today. Tara had said I could take the day off—something about not needing me urgently at the company.I was very grateful and lucky to be working with a rare gem like Tara. Coincidentally, Jason had invited me to that program for expectant mothers, hence my day wouldn't be so boring. Ingrid, however, was not as enthusiastic. As she pinned a small clip into my hair, she gave me a cautious look.“Skylar,” she said softly, “please be careful. Jason is a gentleman, yes, but you are married. A married woman and a single man shouldn’t spend too much time together… not even as friends.”I smiled, fighting the urge to make a teasing remark. Ingrid was starting to sound like one of those old grannies who’d warn a girl that spending so much time with a man who wasn't her husband was a bad omen. Bu

    ColeSkylar had just finished her breakfast when she reached for the glass of freshly squeezed orange juice sitting next to her plate. I had made sure she ate something healthy. Lately, I’d been extra careful with everything concerning her—her food, her rest, and her medications.I sat across from her, slowly sipping my black coffee while scrolling through a few reports on my tablet.Then, her phone rang.Skylar picked it up and smiled when she saw the caller.“It’s Jason,” she said, before placing it on loudspeaker.Jason?My fingers froze slightly on the tablet screen, and I raised my eyes briefly from the report. What could Jason want this early in the day? And why was he calling Skylar and not me?“Hey Skylar,” Jason’s voice rang out cheerfully. “How are you feeling today?”“I’m good,” Skylar replied, still smiling. “I’ve been taking those teas you got me. They’re amazing.”I silently sipped my coffee, watching her.Jason continued on, “That’s great to hear. I’m glad you like them
