(Lexa’s POV)Anya’s office door was slightly ajar, but I still knocked softly on the door to let her know I was here. Before I left yesterday, I gave her my resignation letter, but she was adamant about accepting it, telling me to sleep on it. She looked busy reading documents, but this was an important matter. I had to talk to her, so she could find someone to replace me.“Come in, Lexa.” Anya raised her head and smiled at me. She sat upright, propping her elbows on the table and clasping her hands. “How’s the engagement party?”“It was sooo romantic,” I smiled, remembering Finn’s effort to make it special for my twin sister. “You should have come last night.”“Ha! If you only knew I wished to come last night, but Dylan and I had to deal with our children.” She shook her head as she chuckled. “Sometimes I envy Anj how she managed five kids and another one coming. We only have two, but it looked like a war was happening when they began quarreling.”“Another one coming?” I raised my ey

(Frank’s POV)I was never late.As soon as I left Lexi in Finn’s place, I called the Mars’ private security personnel to find him. Finn told me he was on his way to Sky right before I checked the adjoining studio apartment to his office, but when his older brother told me he didn’t come, I ran as fast as I could while calling the security team's head, alerting him of the possible danger.As I ran, crossing the hallway connecting the two buildings and hoping to reach Sky on the other side talking to his armed guards, I could not help cursing Finn for not liking to have bodyguards around him. Despite Steve’s efforts to explain to him when he was still alive that he wasn’t like other ordinary kids and didn’t like the idea that he could get hurt or kidnapped when he was younger, Finn would only tell him he loved the freedom of walking around the school or public places without getting anyone’s attention on him.He was the only Mars without security detailing him, and though Sky had attemp

(Frank’s POV)“I feel alone, Jeannie.”Her words echoed to me, piercing into my erratically beating heart as I ran toward Lexa. My world without her would be like this dock, empty… nothing. She was the missing boat in my life, my goddess that would keep away the storm in my heart, but I was furious, not wanting to accept the truth of what my heart was screaming. If I lost Lexa, I would be like the captain in the Titanic movie, forever lost as I sank into the vast ocean. Well, I was worse than the captain because he opted to stay in his ship than abandon his beloved Titanic.I didn’t waste time jumping right away in the water. My mind was screaming, and my heart was crying, bursting with pain as I realized I would be lost forever if something happened to Lexa. I love her and was too stupid not to know it sooner.As my body immersed in the water, I opened my eyes to look for her, not minding that the salt water stung my eyes, but when I couldn’t find her, I went up, emerging my head to

(Finn’s POV) I had been sitting on the floor for more than an hour and wished the teenager beside me would stop blabbering. If not for Jolene, the waiting room would be an eerie place to stay, but with her, as soon as we were left alone, I bet if ghosts were real, they had fled already, not wanting to listen to her stories. Jolene was happy to oblige Sky to accompany me while he left to deal with Chelsea’s family. Perhaps the reason why I let Jolene talk was because it somehow assured me I would stop seeing Chelsea pulling the trigger on herself. My brother kept telling me that the doctors did their best to save her, but the chances of her surviving were less after hours of treating her self-inflicted gunshot wound. Sighing, I thought of what she said before pulling the trigger. “If you will not be mine, Finn, then let’s just all be miserable.” If Lexi would not survive, then Chelsea would be successful in making me miserable for the rest of my life. Jolene began to prattle on

(Lexa’s POV)Sky, Isaac, and a few of his associates talked for hours in a private room while we all waited in the big family room. Frank and I were seated on the couch, and from where we were sitting, we could almost see everyone except for Elenita, who was on the balcony with Olivia.The triplets, twins, and my sister were on the floor, playing. Lyra Helene and Selene were playing chess. Leyanne patiently guided Aliyah with the braille blocks, teaching her how to spell some words. I wasn’t sure if Cloud and Rain were playing because they were quietly building a ship using Lego blocks.I leaned to my side. “How old are Cloud and Rain again?” I asked, amazed by the skills of the toddlers.Frank smirked. “Probably in their twenties, and those girls are in their thirties.”“Is that normal?” I shook my head. “I mean, they’re only kids.”“The parents never force them to do it. They’re only supporting what they like to do,” Frank briefly explained.“Lucky parents,” I breathed out, glancing
