Skylar

“Skylar, watch out!”

Before I could even react, a rough hand gripped me hard and yanked me back. My entire body stiffened as I turned my head and saw someone moving toward me.

Everything happened too fast, too sudden. A glint of metal caught the light. My heart dropped. It was a knife—its sharp edge aimed straight for me.

The guards and driver were still busy trying to push back the angry ice cream truck driver and the gathering crowd. None of them saw the danger rushing toward me.

Fear took over me. My arms moved on instinct. I wrapped both hands around my stomach and held my baby close, trying to protect the little life inside me.

I closed my eyes tight. ‘Please… not my baby… not like this…’

I waited for the pain. I waited for the sharp, tearing sting of the knife entering my body. But it never came.

Instead, what I heard were harsh grunts and a hollow, anguished cry that made my eyes fly open again.

The attacker—the man in black—was no longer standing. He was sprawled on the

    Celeste“I can’t believe this!” I hissed into the phone, pacing my room. “Do you realize what has happened because of this ridiculous plan? Everything backfired! Instead of getting rid of Skylar, now she’s even more protected than before! Cole has even increased her security and now she's inaccessible.”The voice on the other end spoke in a calm tone.“Celeste, you need to calm down. We still have other ways to handle her.”“Other ways? Don’t make me laugh! The plot was too poor, too carelessly planned. If I had been the one in charge, I would have hired real professionals who knew how to carry out the job smoothly, not some useless attempt like this!”“You’re overreacting. The attacker was a hired professional—”“Professional? You've got to be kidding me,” I cut them off instantly. “If he was a professional, then explain to me why he failed against someone as little as Skylar! Why couldn’t he handle her? Why couldn’t he finish what he started?”There was silence on the other line, bu

    JasonI watched Skylar’s eyes fix on me, full of confusion. “What do you mean, Jason?”For a long moment, I couldn’t answer. My heart felt like it had carried this weight for too many years. I let out a slow breath, trying to steady myself as the past unfolded in front of me.“You were just two years old,” I began. “And I was six. We were in the garden… our parents were hosting a party, and there were so many people, laughter, music, noise. I told you we should play hide and seek. You were so little, Skylar, but you still listened to me. I told you to hide, and you did, with that sweet smile on your face. I thought I was being a good big brother, making you laugh, keeping you happy.”I paused, my chest heavy. My hands curled into fists at my sides as I went on.“I counted. I remember pressing my hands to my face and counting loud enough for you to hear. And when I opened my eyes, you were gone. I thought you had picked a clever hiding place, so I looked everywhere. Behind the trees, u

    SkylarI stepped out of my mother’s house with a heart that felt so much lighter than when I first stepped in earlier that morning.Talking to her, crying with her, and hearing her admit the truth about my adoption had been painful, but it had also washed away a heavy stone that I had been carrying inside my chest. I felt at peace.But my moment of peace was interrupted almost immediately. My phone began to ring the second I got to the car. Jason’s name flashed across the screen.He had been calling me since last night, but I ignored every call. I wasn’t ready to speak with him—not now, not after everything that had happened.The phone rang until it went silent. Then, after a few seconds, it rang again. Jason again. I closed my eyes, my patience snapping.Enough.Without hesitation, I pressed the option and blocked his number.I opened the car door and slipped inside, whispering to the driver, “Take me to the hospital. I want to see my father.”When the car finally stopped at the hosp

    SkylarI woke up the next morning with a strange heaviness in my chest.My thoughts from the engagement party, the chaos, and Ethan’s declaration kept swirling in my head. But there was one thought that had kept me awake most of the night—the truth about me.By mid-morning, I found myself standing in front of my parents’ home. My hand lingered on the door for a moment before I finally knocked.The door opened, and there she was—Mother. Her warm eyes immediately softened at the sight of me.“Skylar, my dear,” she said gently, pulling me into a small embrace. “You’re here. How are you feeling? How’s the baby?”I forced a small smile, though my heart was thudding fast. “We’re both fine, Mom.”She nodded and stepped aside to let me in. The house had this faint, familiar, yet comforting scent of cinnamon and apples. I followed her into the kitchen where she immediately busied herself, as always, trying to take care of me in the little ways she knew best.“You must be tired,” she said, reac

    EthanI didn’t even have time to catch my breath before my father’s iron grip clamped down on my arm.“Come with me,” he hissed angrily. My mother trailed behind us, her face pale as she tried to keep up with his long strides.He dragged me down the corridor, past a row of guest rooms, until he shoved one open and pushed me inside.The moment the door shut, he exploded.“What the hell were you thinking, Ethan?!” my father’s voice boomed. “Do you even understand what you just did out there?! On this day of all days?!”I stood there, silent.“You have ruined everything,” my father continued. “Everything this family stands for! Do you think I stood by you out there because I agreed with your stupidity?! No! I only did it to protect the Buckman name. To protect what little respect is left after your stunt!”His words cut deep, but I didn’t flinch. I just stared at him, my expression blank.“Answer me!” he shouted again. “What did you mean by saying you are no longer interested in the enga
