Amelia's Point of View:

"Dad, please, please just let me stay," I begged my father for the 11th time.

Ace let out a chuckle before shaking his head.

"Are you that naive?" Ace asked with a raised eyebrow.

I quickly looked away, not wanting them to see me sad.

"I just want to say goodbye to my friends; I'll leave for real," I mumbled softly.

"Fine, you have just an hour. Your uncle will be here soon," Dad said with a sigh.

I smiled at him before wrapping my arms around him and whispered a soft "Thank you."

"But your brother will follow you and bring you back here," he ordered.

Nodding my head, I rushed towards my room to grab my phone; all my things were packed up.

Dad wasn't joking; the moment he saw the video, he called my uncle.

He is rich and rude if I must say. All my Dad's brothers are rude, even my brother, but not to me.

He told my uncle to keep an eye on me and train me to be strong and not weak, which he accepted immediately

Now he was on his way here, and he told me to get ready because he didn't like to be kept.

Walking downstairs, I heard Dad saying something to Ace but stopped when he saw me.

"Good, now go, remember just an hour!" Dad said with a sigh.

Nodding my head, I grabbed Ace's hand in mine as we walked out of the house.

"Can you stay in the car so I can say goodbye?" I asked softly.

He said nothing but just nodded his head before driving off.

My brother hasn't said anything to me about my nose; he was so pissed when he walked into the house and saw me that way. Someone videoed everything that happened. And that was how Ace found out, and he sent it to Dad. They shouted at Frank for not being with me and told me not to be friends with him anymore, to which I said nothing. I was also curious why Frank was never around when I got bullied. It was like they were never there or didn't want to be around me.

"Alright, we are here," Ace mumbled while looking at the school. Everyone was outside; I guess I came early.

I bit down on my lips before walking and hopping out of the car.

I gave my brother a smile before walking towards the group.

I tried hard to ignore the whispers and how people were staring.

"What are you doing here? Ain't you supposed to be taking care of your nose?" Toney asked with a smile, making me giggle.

"Hey, guys!" I said softly with a smile.

I didn't want to tell them I was leaving; Dad and Ace told me not to. "Just say thank you and leave" were Father's words.

"Uhm, I'll be in the hospital for a while, so I came to say thank you for helping me out," I mumbled while looking at them before looking at dark grey eyes.

Lucie looked bored, his head tilted to the side, watching me.

"Uhm, thank you, Lucie, for helping me," I mumbled softly.

He let out a chuckle before shaking his head. But what he said next made me break.

"Just because I helped you yesterday doesn't mean I care or want to be friends with you, Amelia. You are still fat and ugly," Lucie Walker said loudly.

His friends frowned, and everyone in the school laughed loudly while pointing their fingers at me.

"Fat!"

"Fat, fat, fat, Amelia is so fat," they sang, making me feel small.

I shook my head, looking away from the boy I thought would be friends with me.

Lucie gave me a wicked smirk; he loved everything. He loved how I was broken in front of him.

Giving him one last look, I nodded my head slowly, before looking at the others.

But they did nothing but stare as everyone made fun of me.

Only if I listened to my brother and Toney, none of this would have happened.

Throwing one last look at Lucie, I walked away from them, ignoring their calls.

What broke me was Frank not coming to me. He didn't try to stop Lucie or the people from laughing.

Rushing towards my brother's car, I entered the car.

"Just drive, please," I whispered before letting out a sob.

His words didn't hurt, but what Frank and Toney did hurt more.

With that, we drove off.

But I promise I'll be back, and I'll have my revenge on Lucie Walker and his friends.

  • Watch Me; SHINE    chapter 119

    Mike’s Point of ViewThe walk to Jack’s house felt like an eternity. Each step weighed heavy, not just on my feet but on my soul. Apologizing to Jack felt like trying to piece together shards of glass it was bound to hurt, but it was necessary.For years, jealousy had consumed me. It wasn’t just the envy of his life or the love he shared with Nancy; it was the feeling of always being overshadowed, always living in the shadows of his happiness. I had convinced myself that his success and love life had stolen something from me. And because of that twisted perspective, I had made choices that I could never undo.But now, standing outside his door, I realized the only way forward was to own my mistakes and seek forgiveness, no matter how undeserving I felt.Jack opened the door, his face a mixture of surprise and guarded curiosity. He didn’t say anything at first, just stepped aside to let me in. I walked into the living room, memories flooding back good ones, ones I had tainted with

    Angel’s Point of ViewI couldn’t stop pacing. My heart raced with every step, my mind playing out every worst-case scenario I could imagine. Ace had barely said a word since we returned home. The tension between us was suffocating, thick and unyielding.He sat in the living room, his elbows resting on his knees, staring at the floor as if it held all the answers to the chaos that had just unfolded. His silence was more terrifying than any argument we could have had.I watched him from the doorway, my chest tightening with guilt and fear. He hadn’t looked at me, hadn’t said anything about what Morana had revealed. It was as if he was retreating into himself, shutting me out completely.I couldn’t take it anymore.Tears blurred my vision as I turned and rushed to our bedroom. Shutting the door behind me, I sank to the floor, my back pressed against the cold wood. The tears came fast and uncontrollably, shaking my entire body.How could my father have done this? How could he have been r

  • Watch Me; SHINE    chapter 117

    Amelia's Point of ViewThe drive home was unusually silent. Ace and Angel had left in a hurry, no doubt to process everything privately. Meanwhile, I found myself in a car with my father and Uncle Nick, the two men who had just uncovered secrets that could have shattered us all.Lucie’s hand rested on mine, his thumb gently stroking the back of it in reassurance.I leaned into his warmth, grateful for his steady presence. Today had been a whirlwind, and I wasn’t sure how to feel about any of it.My mind kept circling back to Morana. Her confession had been shocking, but the CCTV footage… that was the nail in the coffin. Seeing everything play out, hearing the heated argument, and watching the chaos unfold—it was like stepping into a nightmare.The way my father had reacted, the guilt that had clouded his face when Morana revealed the truth, stuck with me. He looked like a man who had been running from his demons for years, only to find them waiting for him all along.We arrived at m

    Mike’s Point of ViewThe weight of their stares bore down on me like a hammer. Their expressions were etched with disbelief, anger, and betrayal. I had known this day might come, but I wasn’t prepared for the crushing silence that filled the room. It was deafening, worse than any words they could have hurled at me.Angel’s tear-streaked face was the first to pierce through my defenses. Her voice, shaky but firm, broke the silence.“Dad…” she said, her tone trembling between sorrow and rage. “Please tell me this isn’t true.”I let out a breath, heavy with the burden I had carried for nearly two decades. My hands trembled as I clenched them into fists at my sides. There was no escape now, no more lies to hide behind.“It’s true,” I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper. “I did it.”Gasps erupted around me, and I winced as if their collective shock were physical blows. My eyes darted to Angel again, hoping to find some semblance of understanding in her gaze, but all I saw was devast

    Morana’s Point of ViewI stood there, my hands tucked into the pockets of my jacket, feeling the weight of everyone’s stares. The crisp afternoon air brushed against my skin, but it did nothing to cool the heat that burned in my chest. Eighteen years. I had waited eighteen years to speak the truth, and now, as I faced them, the moment felt heavier than I had imagined.Nick stood at the front, his expression hardened, but I could see the confusion in his eyes. He didn’t trust me he never had since that day. I couldn’t blame him. Not after what he saw.“Do you remember,” I began softly, my voice steady despite the chaos swirling inside me, “eighteen years ago when I told you to tell your brother to leave the country with Nancy and the kids?”Nick’s brow furrowed as he nodded, but his confusion deepened.“What does that have to do with anything?” he asked, his tone sharp, impatient.Letting out a slow breath, I turned my gaze to Mike. There he was the cause of all this pain. The man w

  • Watch Me; SHINE    chapter 114

    Uncle Nick’s Point of ViewThe morning air was crisp as I leaned against my desk, staring at the message on my phone for the hundredth time. Morana’s words haunted me:"I’m tired of hiding. Bring your family and meet me at this spot by 4 PM. I’ll come clean and tell you my part of the story."The text felt unreal, almost like a trick, but it was our first solid lead in years. Was this truly the end of our search? Could we finally put all of this behind us?Yet, I couldn’t shake the unease. Why now? Why after so many years of silence? And why would she want us all there?I pocketed my phone and made my way to the living room, where Ace and Amelia were already waiting. They both looked tense, their eyes betraying a mix of anticipation and distrust. Lucie stood beside Amelia, his protective stance clear as day. Angel sat close to Ace, her presence a calming force in the storm that brewed between us.Then there was Mike Angel’s father. He had been jittery since the message came through,
