Taylah and Charlotte were playing when Zane joined them shortly after. That was when they were interrupted by someone. it was the Davier family, who had come to the cemetery.Arjan and Ethan had arrived there with their parents. Taylah’s expression turned bitter. How could they even have the nerve to come here?“Are you okay, Taylah?” Zane asked, glancing between her and the Davier family.“Aren’t you quite attentive for your age? It’s nothing. I’m totally fine.” Taylah patted the younger boy’s head and sighed.Zane shrugged and turned his gaze toward the crowd. The Davier family greeted the elderly couple and then stood in front of Evelyn’s grave.Taylah watched them as well, all the surrounding sounds slowly fading into the distance. Hannah took something out of her pocket and placed it on the grave. was that a locket? It certainly looked like one.Soon after, Hannah walked toward her. Taylah gestured to Zane to take his sister and step away for a moment. The younger one, quite unde

The news spread fast. By morning, everyone in the city knew.“The Russell couple passed away.”The funeral hall was filled with the smell of incense and murmurs.Taylah stood near the front, dressed in black, her fingers clenched so tight they were almost pale. She didn’t cry. She felt like if she did, she would never stop.Laurence handled everything.He spoke to the priest. He signed papers. He answered condolences. His face was calm, yet Taylah knew he was holding it together. Because they were almost like a parent to him. People came one after another.“I’m so sorry for your loss.”“They were such good people.”“Be strong, child.”Taylah only nodded. That's when she noticed them, the Edwards and the Davier family. Her jaw tightened."I'm sorry for your lose, Taylah" Hannah hugged the younger, caressing it gently. John Davier was talking to Laurence meanwhile the brothers stood there, eyes held pity in them. Winona Edwards dabbed her eyes dramatically with a handkerchief, even th

That evening The bright lights of the bustling bar stung Taylah’s eyes. Louis and Dicentra had arranged a small get-together for her. “Bottoms up, guys!” Dicentra said, taking a shot before hissing at the sharp taste that hit her tongue. “Slow down, Di. Can you even handle the hangover tomorrow?” Louis tried to take the glass from her, but she quickly dodged him. “My girl finally got her freedom, so I’m going to celebrate as much as I can!” Dicentra did a little dance before wrapping Taylah in a hug, making her chuckle. Louis shook his head before turning his gaze to Taylah. “We’re sorry we couldn’t come to your grandparents’ funeral. We didn’t hear the news until a few days later.” “It’s okay. I really don’t want you two feeling sad for me. And Laurence helped me with everything,” Taylah said. Dicentra’s expression shifted to concern. “We were worried. Part of this hangout is to cheer you up. And it’s a good thing that bastard gave you a divorce, or I would’ve kicked his a

The next day, “Taylah, get up. Breakfast is ready,” Zane shouted, standing outside her room. “How many times have I told you to respect her?” Laurence’s voice rang out from the hall. Zane only shrugged his shoulders and walked away. Inside the room, Taylah slowly stirred awake and sat up, tying her hair into a messy bun. She caught a glimpse of Zane walking away down the hallway. He had grown into a fine young man. And for the information, They were only five years apart. Shaking her head lightly, Taylah got up and went to freshen up. She had truly enjoyed the late-night party with her friends, one last celebration with them from moving into a professional life. “Good morning, guys.” Taylah walked out and sat down for breakfast. Charlotte was busy with her phone, barely paying attention to the food in front of her, typical teenager behavior. “Good morning, Taylah,” Lyla greeted, settling beside her husband. “So, when are you returning to your position?” Laurence asked out o

Taylah reached the apartment she had rented, finally visiting it properly. Dicentra was already there, waiting.“Hey, girl!” Dicentra rushed toward her and pulled her into a tight hug.And just like that, Taylah felt it—like everything had slipped back into place, like the world had quietly corrected itself.“How have you been?” Taylah asked, holding her hand tightly, aware of how much they had to catch up on after years apart.“I’m doing so good! Finally, you’re back in the city... I’m going to scream and tell the whole world,” Dicentra grinned."Oh my god, don’t be so dramatic." Taylah chuckled, a wave of familiar happiness hitting her all at once.They both stepped into the elevator, pressing the button for the floor where Taylah’s apartment was located."Are you sure you want to move out of Laurence’s place?""I can’t stay there all the time. I still need my own personal space. Zane always interrupts whenever I need it." Taylah shook her head, rolling her eyes in annoyance."That
