Unworthy No More A School of Our Own
Sophie I had expected Selene to complain about being confined to the house, Atlas to demand access to more advanced material, and Leon to insist that staying home interfered with his training.Instead, they accepted the arrangement with an ease that made me wonder whether they had already decided that the gifted academy had never been worth returning to.Their tutors arrived shortly after breakfast, one after another, carrying books, laptops, instruments, and enough teaching material to make our library look like a small university.Professor Hartwell went directly to Atlas. Miriam took Selene into the technology room. Master Chen collected Leon for his morning training. Nobody asked whether they missed school. I knew the answer anyway. They didn't. They had discovered something far more valuable than a classroom. Freedom.At home, nobody told them what they were supposed to understand because of their age. Their tutors simply found out what they already knew and worked from there. A
Unworthy No More The Black Sedan
Sophie By the time I returned from school that afternoon, Dad had already changed the security arrangement around the house. I noticed it before the car had even reached the driveway.There were two additional vehicles parked near the gates, and the guard who usually stood beside the entrance had been replaced by someone I had never seen before. The cameras had also been repositioned, although I couldn't tell whether that was because of the woman who had appeared yesterday or the black sedan that had followed us from the academy.I remembered that car. I had tried not to. The trouble was that once something frightened you, your mind became annoyingly good at preserving details. It had followed us for eleven minutes and thirty-two seconds. Atlas had counted.I had spent most of the night wondering why. Dad was waiting for me inside. "How was school?""Normal.""Good."I dropped my bag beside the stairs. "Did you find out anything about the car?"His expression changed slightly. "Why a
Unworthy No More Teaching Us To Learn From Danger
Sophie I did not go to school that morning. Not because Dad had won the argument. Because Mom convinced me that going to school immediately after discovering someone had been collecting information about me would be stupid.She didn't use those words, of course. Mom was gentler than Dad. She sat beside me in the study while Dad reviewed the documents Evelyn had left behind, and she explained that there was a difference between being brave and deliberately walking into a situation we hadn't understood.I knew she was right but I still hated it. "I'm missing a mathematics test," I complained.Mom smiled. "You can take it later.""My teacher doesn't like make-up tests.""Then we'll explain.""What if she thinks I'm making excuses?""Then she'll think you're making excuses."I groaned. Mom laughed. For a few minutes, everything felt normal. That was probably what I needed. Because the strange thing about fear was that it made ordinary problems feel precious. I wanted my mathematics test.
Unworthy No More The Woman at the Gate
Sophie The doorbell rang at 7:13 the following morning. I know the exact time because I was already awake.I had barely slept after Dad's warning the night before, and by the time I heard the bell, I was sitting at my desk trying to finish an essay I had promised myself I would complete before breakfast.I looked toward the window. Our security team usually announced visitors before they reached the house. Even family friends didn't simply walk up to the front door anymore. Something was wrong. I pushed my chair back and opened my bedroom door. The hallway was quiet.Mom and Dad's room was at the opposite end, and I could hear movement from the triplets' rooms farther down. Their tutors wouldn't arrive for another hour. The bell rang a third time and I went downstairs.One of the security officers was already moving toward the entrance. "Who is it?" I asked. He turned. "We're checking." I followed him as far as the foyer. Through the glass beside the door, I could see a woman standin
Unworthy No More The One Who Stayed Ordinary
Sophie I thought Dad would shut everything down after we found those messages. Instead, he did something I hadn't expected. He let us continue living freely. That may sound strange, considering three four-year-olds had already attracted enough attention to make grown men ask how much they were worth, but Dad refused to turn our home into a fortress where nobody was allowed to breathe without security approval. The triplets continued their lessons. Mom continued running her foundation. Dad continued working. And I continued going to school. That last part mattered more to me than I was willing to admit. I was ten years old, and unlike my siblings, I still had classmates who cared more about lunch than quantum theory. My teachers gave me homework that actually took me longer than five minutes. Nobody asked to examine my brain, and no university had ever offered me a scholarship simply because of the way I solved a mathematics problem. It was ordinary. I loved it. Sometimes I also h
Unworthy No More The Cost of Being Seen
Sophie By the end of the week, our house had changed again. Not dramatically. There were no moving trucks or construction crews, and Mom hadn't suddenly turned the library into a classroom. The changes were quieter. Three rooms on the eastern side of the house had been cleared and furnished with desks, bookshelves, computers, training equipment, and enough educational material to make me wonder whether Dad had accidentally purchased an entire university. Selene loved the computers. Atlas loved the books. Leon loved the training room. I loved none of it. I missed having my siblings around the house all day. That probably made me selfish, but I had become accustomed to them being part of the rhythm of my life. Their school had taken that rhythm away for exactly one day, and now their return had somehow made the house feel fuller than before. The first tutor arrived on Monday morning. He was a tall man named Professor Daniel Hartwell, although Selene immediately informed him that the

Isla’s POVThe night bled into dawn with the taste of smoke still thick in the air. The once-pristine marble floors of the Langston estate were smeared with ash, the faint smell of gasoline lingering beneath the sterile scent of antiseptic. Outside, the sky was bruised gray, and the wind carried th

Alexander By the time Isla and Sophie disappeared down the hallway, I was still standing in front of that classroom door, my pulse hammering with restrained fury. The image of Sophie, her tiny fists clenched, her cheeks streaked with tears while the teacher told me she’d “pushed first”, would not
