XAVIER'S POV

Seven years.

The words echoed in my mind as I stood in front of the mirror, my fingers working the silk of my black tie into a knot. Seven years since the world had shifted beneath my feet. Seven years since I had held my mother's hand for the last time. Seven years since I had watched the light fade from her eyes.

Only it didn't feel like seven years. It felt like yesterday. The grief still sat heavy in my chest, a permanent fixture that had carved out a space for itself and refus

  • Two Times Mrs Weston    Maria Weston

    IAN’S POVThe doors closed behind Allison and Dean, their footsteps fading into the cold outside. I holstered my gun, ignoring the stares burning into my back, and walked into the hall. The murmurs followed me all the way in, but I didn't acknowledge them. I had learned long ago that the opinions of others meant nothing when weighed against the people I loved.I took my seat in the front row, beside Aria. She didn't look at me. Her eyes were fixed on the portrait of my mother, her hands folded tightly in her lap."You have a lot of explaining to do," she whispered, her voice barely audible. "A lot."I sighed, my gaze dropping to the floor. "I know."The service began.A soft piano melody drifted through the hall, slow and mournful, as the officiant stepped to the podium. He was an older man, a friend of the family, someone who had known my mother personally. His voice was gentle but firm, carrying through the space with quiet authority."We gather today to honor the life of Maria Wes

  • Two Times Mrs Weston    Memorial Service

    IAN’S POVThe memorial hall was grand and solemn, draped in black and white, with soft candlelight flickering against the walls. At the entrance stood a massive portrait of my mother; her warm smile, her kind eyes, captured in a moment when life had still been gentle with her. Flowers surrounded the frame, white lilies and roses arranged in elegant cascades, their fragrance thick in the air.Beneath the portrait, a long table held a guest book, its pages already filled with signatures. People moved quietly through the space, their voices hushed, their footsteps measured. Business associates from the company stood in clusters, dressed in black, their faces carefully composed. Some of the staff had come as well, the ones who had served under her when she had been the heart of Weston group. They lingered near the edges, speaking in whispers, their eyes glistening with memories only they carried.I walked in with Aria at my side, Reed and Charles following closely behind. The moment I ste

  • Two Times Mrs Weston    He Has No Choice

    REED'S POVI stood from the hospital bed, my body still aching but stronger than it had been days ago. The room was quiet, the only sounds were the soft beep of the monitors and the distant hum of the hospital outside. I walked quietly toward the door, my hand reaching for the handle.The door swung open from the outside before I could touch it.I took a few steps backward as Charles walked in, his expression as unreadable as ever. He stood in the doorway like a wall, blocking any hope of escape."Do you need anything, sir?" he asked.I nodded. "Yes. I need you to step out of my way."I tried to push past him, but Charles didn't budge. He blocked me effortlessly, his voice calm but firm. "I'm sorry, sir, but you can't leave."I sighed and took a step backwards. "The memorial service is going to start any time soon. I have to be there. My grandmother's…""He's not allowed to step out of the room without my permission," Charles cut in. "Those are your uncle's orders."I studied him for

  • Two Times Mrs Weston    I'm Hurting Too

    XAVIER'S POV I just stood there, looking at him. This was how it always was. Ever since our mother passed, every remembrance felt like she had died all over again. The longer the years stretched on, the stronger the pain became. And Ian had done nothing but make it more painful for himself. For me.Despite being brothers from the same mother, somehow, her death had done more damage to Ian than I ever thought possible. It had broken something inside him that no amount of time could fix.I walked to the bathroom and grabbed a towel. I came back and wiped the water from his hair, my movements gentle despite the frustration boiling inside me.Ian pushed my hands away. "Get your hands off me.""Ian, you need to take a shower and eat something.""Don't tell me what the fuck to do." His voice was cold, distant. "You're not my mother.""No, I'm not." My voice snapped, the words tearing from my throat before I could stop them. "Our mother is dead! And I'm supposed to be at her memorial servic

    XAVIER'S POVSeven years.The words echoed in my mind as I stood in front of the mirror, my fingers working the silk of my black tie into a knot. Seven years since the world had shifted beneath my feet. Seven years since I had held my mother's hand for the last time. Seven years since I had watched the light fade from her eyes.Only it didn't feel like seven years. It felt like yesterday. The grief still sat heavy in my chest, a permanent fixture that had carved out a space for itself and refused to leave. Some days it was manageable. Other days it was suffocating, a weight so immense that I could barely breathe.Today was one of those days.I wondered if it would ever get easier. If the pain would ever dull into something I could carry without stumbling. If the memory of her face would ever stop making my heart ache. I wondered if Ian felt the same, or if he had found a way to bury it deeper than I ever could.The reflection staring back at me looked tired. Hollowed out. A man wearin

  • Two Times Mrs Weston    That Makes IT Eight

    XAVIER'S POVI stepped out of the elevator, my chest heaving, my footsteps echoing through the empty hallway as I ran toward Ian’s room. My mind was racing, a thousand different scenarios playing out in my head, each one worse than the last.Kai was already waiting by the door, his expression grim. He straightened when he saw me."Sir."I stopped, holding up a hand as I caught my breath. "What happened?"Kai hesitated, his eyes darting toward the closed door. "I think you should go in there and see for yourself."I took a step forward, my voice dropping. "Kai, I just asked you a question. What did he do this time?"He shifted uncomfortably, his jaw tightening. "He… he shot someone at the club."I blinked, the words not quite registering. "What?""We tried to get him to the hospital afterwards," Kai continued, his voice strained. "But the man…""Get to the fucking point!" I snapped.Kai exhaled, his shoulders slumping. "He died before we got there."Oh God.“I'm sorry, sir. I should've
