•OCTAVIA•

“I confronted Giselle today about Connor, and she didn’t seem like someone who is dating him. My assistant did her research, and they aren’t dating. So, I don’t know why you would lie to me, Octavia.”

“You know I could never lie to you, babe. Laura and Connor are in this together. She probably returned so you could save her children and then return to New York with Connor.”

“According to this report, Giselle and Connor have been friends since college. That’s the same thing my private investigator told me when she returned to the city.”

I closed the door of his home office and sighed. I walked over to his table and sat on his lap.

“Don’t you trust me anymore, darling? I want what’s best for you, so I would never lie to you about anything. If you don’t believe me, you can hire another PI to find out where Laura is right now.” I smirked as I leaned over and kissed his cheek.

“What do you mean?”

“Well, I don’t want you to say I’m lying, but Giselle is with Connor in a restaurant

    •GISELLE•"Thank you, Giselle," Octavia answered when I pulled away from her. "I honestly don't deserve your forgiveness, but I'll try by all means to show you how grateful I am for another opportunity." I nodded with a smile, though I felt like I was gambling with my life again. There was no telling what she could do to me next, but a part of me hoped she meant every word she said. "Are your parents going to be mad if I come to Nana's funeral tomorrow?" "No, don't worry about them. I'll speak with them, and besides, you were close to Kiki as well, so she will be happy to see that you've made it to her funeral." "Thank you," I answered, smiling at her again. She reached into her handbag and pulled out a small card. I took it, and there were the funeral details on it. "I'll see you tomorrow, sis." She waved at me before she turned around and went to her car in the driveway. I didn't close the door until she had driven away. I closed the door when she was gone and walked down the

    •NOAH•"Noah, we need to talk.""Later, Donald. I have an important meeting to attend in an hour," I said as I grabbed my car keys from the hallway counter. "This can't wait." "It can wait until I am back, please." "It's about Tracey," he blurted, and I stopped walking and was frozen with my hand on the doorknob. I didn't know the last time I had heard that name.The last time I had talked with Tracey or seen her was when Giselle and I were still married. She and Giselle were fond of each other. But when Tracey heard I divorced Giselle and married Octavia, she got mad at me. She was my aunt. She and my father were half-siblings after my grandfather married Tracey's mother, and had her. "She's dying, Noah," he continued. "She didn't want me to tell you because she thought you wouldn't want to see her anyway. But I know how close you were to her, so I think you might need to see her." My fist clenched, and I felt at a loss for words. I twisted the doorknob and walked out. When I

    •OCTAVIA•I watched as my parents walked upside down, preparing for Kiki's funeral. Though I was relieved that her day had finally come, it wasn't a pleasant feeling seeing my father on the verge of losing his mind.He didn’t take it well losing his mother after his sister a few years ago, but Kiki had it coming. She wanted to run her mouth to Giselle, and God knows what would've happened if she had seen her.She would've told her everything I had done to her, and I would've lost everything. So, her death was convenient in preventing the truth from coming out."We need Noah to sponsor the funeral," my mother said when she found me scrolling on my phone in the living room. "We can’t cover all the bills ourselves. I thought you knew that and would talk to your husband." "Noah and I aren't talking right now, Mom, and you know that," I sighed, rolling my eyes. "He's angry with me, and I don't think he'd want to hear anything I have to say again." "You shouldn't forget that you've been

    •GISELLE•“What happened to Nana?” My breath caught as I sat up on the bed, ignoring the sharp pain in my side from the gunshot wound.“She collapsed and died a few hours ago,” he answered. “Octavia and her parents are taking her to the countryside for the funeral.”I didn’t answer right away.The words settled heavy in my chest. Nana was gone. Just like my parents. One after the other, everyone who had ever truly loved me had been taken away.She had been the only person in that house who had made me feel wanted.When my adoptive parents looked at me like I was a burden, Nana had stepped in. She fed me when no one else cared to ask if I was hungry. She stood between me and their cruelty.She chose me.And now she was gone.“Is… is that why you came here earlier?” I asked quietly, my hand moving to my stomach as I fought the tears burning behind my eyes.“Yes,” he replied. He hesitated before continuing. “And I know she would want you at her funeral. She never stopped asking about you

    •GISELLE•I was hyperventilating when Connor closed the door behind Noah. He steadied his breath before he turned and walked toward me.“Hey, are you okay?” he asked as he rushed to my side. He had noticed my rapid breathing.I released a deep breath before looking up at him. “Yeah, I’m fine,” I answered, managing a gentle smile. “Thank you for handling that for me. I honestly don’t want to see Noah.”“I took the kids, Ashley and Haley, to my apartment in Beverly Hills. They will be safe there until you’re discharged,” he said as he sat on the bed beside me. “But Elle, what happened when you got shot?”The question caused a knot in my stomach. My chest tightened, and my hands shook. I closed my eyes and tried to push away the memory that refused to stay buried.My own sister. The one person I thought I had finally repaired things with. The one who smiled at me across a dinner table and told me and wanted peace between us.She wanted me dead.“I don’t know,” I muttered, shaking my head

    •NOAH•I couldn’t sleep for two nights, busy trying to call Giselle, but her phone took me straight to voicemail. I couldn’t reach her, which meant she was still in the ICU.I couldn’t help but feel like it was all my fault. Connor didn’t even let me see my kids. They weren’t at Giselle’s place anymore, which meant he had moved them.I was heading to the bathroom to shower when my cell phone rang, and when I saw Octavia’s name, I scoffed and almost didn’t answer the call.She was sobbing when I answered the call.“Octavia... what’s wrong?”“It’s my grandmother,” she sobbed. “She’s dead, Noah.”“Kiki is... gone?” My heart hammered in my chest. I froze as I was about to open the bathroom door.“Yes,” she continued sobbing. “I’m scared, Noah. I don’t want to lose our baby.”I paced, unsure of what to do. Just a few hours ago, my mind was made up that I’d divorce Octavia and take care of the child once they were born.If I had to go to her and comfort her for losing her grandmother, it wo
