SIX MONTHS LATER.AURELIA'S POINT OF VIEW.It all felt like yesterday.Like it was a few hours ago, my brother had gotten his name cleared of any charges, and like it was a few hours ago, the real murderers, Robert and Serbastian, had finally been apprehended and sentenced to life in prison.Like it was a few hours ago, Levi won the lawsuit against the state on behalf of me and Desmond, granting my brother over two hundred dollars in compensation.It was barely enough for all he had been through, but it was something. Levi fought tooth and nail for us.For me.It felt like it was just yesterday that Levi took me to his private island for a vacation, as a reward treat of my passing the bar. He proposed to me there, under a beautiful candlelight dinner on the beach.The same way I'd dreamt of, and mumbled to him just before I slept.I don't even know how he remembered that. I said it once!It felt like yesterday that we had peace., quiet, no form of abuse or trouble, especially not from

LEVI'S POINT OF VIEW.I watched as Auriela slept soundly on our bed, her brown hair all over the pillows as she snuggled the covers. She's pregnant. She's carrying my child....my mind could barely fathom it.The fact that I would soon be a father and a husband.Vanessa's breakup hit me hard, especially her betrayal of my brother. I knew Matthew hated me, especially after that day at the orphanage. Up until the moment he got arrested, and pleaded with me to take his case, I'd hated him, was scared of him, and desired above all else to be cut off from him. So when he sent the message from prison, about how he needed his brother, and his connections to come through for him, like I was not struggling with my debts at the time.Like he hadn't betrayed me.Like he hadn't treated me worse than an enemy after our parents died.His friends abandoned him, and Vanessa?She flew off the bat, making sure to escape to a place where no one would find her.Not that I ever searched.So the fact that

LEVI'S POINT OF VIEW.The text blinked up at me from the corner of my monitor, its sharp white letters slicing through the darkened room like a knife. It felt like someone had taken a knife and stabbed through my heart, using the words that stared back at me.The words replayed in my mind like a broken clock, like a horror movie, like a horrible song, you could not get out of your mind.You think you can protect yourself from me? I’m coming for you, and all you’ve got very soon. You’ll pay, little bro, you will pay dearly for all you’ve done. Keep her safe for as long as you can, because when I come, you and your connections will not be enough to save her from me.My pulse didn’t just spike, it dropped, as a cold weight settled in my chest, dragging my heartbeat down with it.Was my heart even still beating? I had no idea. I could barely tell how I functioned in that moment.Little bro. Those two words sparked a memory I had buried deep within my mind.It had been years since I’d hear

AURELIA'S POINT OF VIEW.I walked down the east wing hallway barefoot, sighing in content as my feet made contact with the cold marble tiles as I moved. The mansion felt silent; on most days, it usually was, but for some reason, the silence today had an eerie feel. The rain had finally stopped, but in its wake, it left grey skies which looked like they would release more rain on the earth in no time. I made my way to the kitchen, intent on satisfying my cravings. Levi was working in his office, so I was pretty much left to my own company for some time. I held my romance novel in my hands as I opened the refrigerator.So far, the novel did an excellent job at keeping me entertained, especia;;y with its plot twists. The author did her big one with the book. Because for some reason. I could not be away from my tablet for more than five minutes.The plate of sliced strawberries dipped in chocolates, which had hardened, earned a smile on my face as I pulled it out. I moaned at the taste o
