2025-08-27 18:00:20When I told Brodie, he seemed pleased that I had managed to put at least some of my feelings to rest. He was less happy about the police showing up on the doorstep. He agreed with Gerald that I had done the right thing. I ended up crying when I confessed that I couldn’t deny he was the triplets’ father. It made me sad to think about it, but all it did was make him happy. He looked as proud as punch when I said it, and seeing that cheeky smile of his lightened my mood.
“I guess I’d better cancel the meeting I had planned for tomorrow. Gerald mentioned that you asked him to take Theo while they were here; it was a smart move. We should make sure all three of them are in the nursery early tomorrow. Turner is obviously trying to expose us all, and it’s best not to assist him in that effort.” I was sitting on the bench at the bottom of the bed, continuing to brush and braid my hair as we talked.
“Brodie, I need to know what happened that night.” My voice quivered slightly.

Unfortunately, alone time wasn’t something I was going to get. As soon as I stepped through the door, I was met by Gerald, who sat there, his expression mirroring the misery I felt inside. His shoulders slumped as if the weight of the world rested upon them, and the shadows beneath his eyes hinted at sleepless nights spent worrying.There was no other option than to shove my feelings down as deep as they would go, burying them beneath layers of resolve and determination. I had to concentrate on business. Brodie had been away from camp for far too long, searching for me, and I knew he hadn’t managed to catch up on everything he had missed during his absence. His commitment to keeping our mission on track was unwavering, and now it was my turn to step up and take charge.“Brodie said we had work to do,” I stated, forcing a steady tone into my voice as I crossed the threshold.“Are you sure you’re okay to get into this?” Gerald’s eyebrows rising slightly at the not

The one thing I had learnt on my journey to that point was that people deserved second chances. I just hoped Cassie trusted me enough to take hers. I could see a better life for her where she would be free to set her own path in life. After everything that had happened to me, I knew exactly how important that was. I wasn’t lying to her when I said that Tyler had spoken about her. He had, not in detail, but he seemed to have a way of bringing her up without realizing he was doing it. It was clear she was on his mind and something told me the feeling was mutual.“I couldn’t even if I wanted to. Why would you want me to? We both know it would cause my dad to come after you guys even more aggressively.” She was right, Turner would blame me and it would make things harder. That didn’t mean it was the wrong thing to do.“The consequences don’t matter. We will deal with them together. Was everything a lie?”“No, I wish it was. Brodie won’t have me back.”“I can

As the tunnel began to darken, the last remnants of daylight filtered through the water, gradually giving way to shadows that enveloped me. I fished my phone out of my pocket, its screen illuminating the surroundings with a pale glow. Half using it as a flashlight to guide my path, I also took a moment to shoot a quick message to Cassie, hoping she would reply soon. The darkness around me seemed to press in closer, making the light from my phone all the more precious as I cautiously ventured deeper into the unknown.Esme: I need to see you now. Meet me at the edge of the woods, nearest the university.I didn’t know if she would even reply, let alone agree to meet me, but I felt compelled to try. Sitting back and watching a disaster unfold was not an option I could entertain. As I ventured deeper into the darkness, I encountered a fork in the tunnel and cursed myself for not being honest with Jackson. I knew that honesty would have been the best approach, but fear had c

I spent the next morning cleaning frantically, akin to a madwoman. It was all I could do to keep myself busy and prevent myself from being paralyzed by fear. Brodie had insisted I stay away from the cabin until the police had come and gone. I understood that he was trying to protect me, but it felt as if he had stripped away the last semblance of control I had over the situation. In a surge of determination, I had already taken the babies over to the nursery and then headed straight to the meeting cabin. Now, I found myself scrubbing the varnish off the large oval table, pouring all of my anxious energy into the task at hand. Each swipe of the cloth seemed to offer a momentary distraction from my racing thoughts, but the underlying sense of dread still lingered, overshadowing my efforts to clean and restore some semblance of order amidst the chaos.I had a direct view of our cabin, and it was the only reason I had chosen that particular location for my sanctuary. The sight of

Gerald returned with Theo just five minutes later. I immediately cuddled my baby boy, feeling guilty for pretending he was a pet, even though it was necessary. “What did they want?” Gerald asked, nodding toward the officers.“They were after information about Rachelle and ended up learning more than they bargained for. Turner must have orchestrated this. They’re convinced Brodie and I were involved even before she vanished. I had no choice but to agree with them on the triplets' conception date, as revealing the truth—that it happened only a few months ago—was out of the question.” I knew that Gerald wouldn’t reprimand me or give me the kind of disapproving look my father often did, but it didn’t matter; the damage was done."You did the right thing. Protecting against exposure is crucial. I'll talk to Brodie when he returns." He implied he'd mediate with Brodie on my behalf before any harsh reactions. I wouldn't blame Brodie; I had sacrificed him to save the camp, tho
