(Ethan’s POV)Connor turned the car in a different direction, heading on a road that had been closed for more than two decades. The road has not been used for a long time because the damaged bridge was never repaired, and it has been decided to remain close so tourists would not go this way since it was a shortcut going to the lake.“What did Mom say?” Connor asked, driving as fast as he could.“They’ll meet us under the bridge,” Amber answered as she placed her palm on Izobel’s forehead. “She’s still cold,” She looked at me sadly. “She’s never been sick like this.”“When this is over, remind me, Ethan, that I’m killing you,” Connor clenched his teeth and glanced at me in the mirror. “He has seen a lot,” He was talking to Amber now.“Dad will know what to do,” Amber uttered, kissing her in the head. “She&rsq

(Ethan’s POV)Izobel would never admit if she were in pain, but I could read in her eyes she was hurt by my decision.“But I want Mr. Rodriguez to do it, not you, Izobel,” I said, and she nodded again, turning her back on me without saying anything.Worried, Amber followed her twin. Whether she would cry or not, this is not the best time to put Izobel in danger again.“Why?” Connor asked, walking towards me as he stood beside me. “Why deceive Izobel that you want your memories to be erased, Ethan?”I smirked. “No one can deceive Izobel,”Connor scoffed but nodded, agreeing with me.Alaric and Zena walked near the bed.“If I’m to ask, I don’t want to involve Izobel in all these. If only I knew that it would hurt anyone in the family, I’d never accepted the weapon,” I explained as I furrowed my fo

(Izobel’s POV)I looked at the piles of papers Asia placed on my table. Propping my elbows on the table, I cupped my face with my palms and studied the piles, not knowing where to begin. I glanced at the time, and despite the hotel operating twenty-four hours, my working time in the admin had not started yet. I came here two hours earlier, hoping to finish all the paper works.Connor willingly dropped me here in the hotel because he will also take Deidra to school. He enrolled her in the same high school where Amber and I graduated. Mom gladly took the responsibility of taking care of the triplets while Deidra was in school.I opened my email, checking the report Asia made. The graph she created showed that the hotel was already fully booked at this early time. The hotel even had increased its rate, but it didn’t affect the reservations because of Kevin’s crazy idea of opening the portal as if

(Ethan’s POV)Izobel pulled her finger from my mouth angrily. The corners of my mouth turned up, but I could not help worrying about Asia and Ryzen. Should I ask Amber to erase their memory? I felt the relief when Asia blushed and pressed her lips to suppress a smile.“Hot!” We heard Ryzen mutter. “I think I’ll cut myself on purpose,” he cracked the joke making Asia laugh this time and giving him the paper cutter.“Your point?” Amber asked, rolling her eyes at me and sitting down on the vacant chair in front of Izobel’s table.I shrugged and shook my head because I didn’t have any. “I just got curious, Amber,” I answered.“Curiosity killed the cat, Ethan,” Izobel hissed, standing up.“Where are you going?” I asked, almost forgetting that I have a concern about work.“Getting the bird!

(Izobel’s POV)“Dinner over bonus and promotion?” Ryzen’s eyes were sparkling as he nudged me. “What’s in you, Izobel?”“Would you go out with him again, Izobel?” asked Asia as we all prepared to return to our office.I glanced at Kevin, who was still talking with his team, and he seemed to know I was looking at him. He glanced my way, nodded as he acknowledged me, and smiled. Heat crept my face, causing my cheeks to turn apple red.“Izobel,” Ethan called, and he didn’t need to finish what he wanted to say. I turned to Asia and Ryzen. “Go ahead.”Ryzen rolled his eyes. “Let me borrow your beauty and charisma for one day, Izobel. Just one day.”“You’re crazy,” I muttered, shaking my head as I laughed at him. “See you later.”I walked towards Ethan, and though I wanted to avoid him, I was curious
