•Juliet POV•“Mommy, where is Daddy?"Jace’s small voice pulled me out of my conversation with Vera. I turned to see him rushing down the stairs, his white shirt half-tucked into his pants, his curly hair bouncing with each step. He ran into my arms and I bent slightly, adjusting his shirt and brushing my fingers through his hair.“Look who’s dressed up like a prince,” Vera grinned, watching him with admiration.“Aunt Vera!” Jace beamed, turning from me and launching himself toward her. She caught him easily, pulling him into a warm hug before playfully tickling his sides. He erupted in laughter, his joy echoing around the living room.“I hope I have a son like you someday,” Vera said, squeezing him.“Really, Aunt Vera?” Jace’s eyes lit up. “I’m going to have a brother when you do!”I laughed, staring at Jace. His smile and happiness a reminder to me how much I've been through to finally have such happiness“Calm down, champ,” Vera chuckled. “I’m not ready yet, but when I do, then yes

I thought if I didn’t tell Juliet everything that happened that night, it would make it look like it never happened. But I should’ve known it wasn’t going to stop there. Whoever planned this with Leyi clearly had an aim. “Jeez, I can’t believe this is happening again,” Vera said harshly as she walked down the stairs. “I can’t imagine what Juliet is going through right now.” Feeling confused, I didn’t know what to do anymore.

I ran down the stairs after Vera, my mind racing and guilt crawling up my spine, making the pain in my chest even worse. “Vera, please. I know Juliet won’t listen to me, but if I talk to you, maybe you can explain to her.” Vera stopped in her path and turned to look at me, her eyes gleaming with anger. “Explain to her?” she shot me a deadly stare. “Like I did the first time, thinking you’
