Ivory's POVClara stood in front of me, appearing fine, but yesterday she was shot, and I saw blood trickling from her head. "Welcome, Sera," the boss said, a sinister grin spreading across his face.

I stammered, still in shock."Oh, my bad. I never introduced myself. I'm Seraphina Alvris, and that's my stepbrother," she said, pointing back to the boss, whose grin only widened. "Ivory, it's sad," she continued, her tone darkening. "I have to cut short the joyful memories in your life." My heart raced. "What, Clara?"

Tristan's POVMy head pounded like a drum, and my body felt heavy, aching all over. I felt the weight of my form pressing into the bed, I blinked my eyes open and took in my surroundings—a hospital room. Confusion washed over me. The last thing I remembered was driving my car. How did I end up here?I attempted to sit up, but a sharp throb in my head made me wince. "Ouch," I muttered. "Tristan, you're awake!" My mother's voice cut through the haze, as she rushed to my side, her worried face a mix of relief and exhaustion. I noticed my family gathered around, their expressions filled with concern."Tristan, you stupid boy! Do you want to give me a heart attack?" Mom pulled me into a tight hug. Her face showed the toll of worry, swollen from crying. "Mom," I whispered softly. "You really scared me," she said, her voice trembling. "I was terrified when Elijah called to say you'd been in an accident.""Accident?" I whispered, the memory slowly resurfacing, piecing together the memory of

Tristan exclaimed, his eyes filled with hope. Tears began to well up, threatening to spill over. I tried to sit up, but my body protested."Let me help you," he said, reaching out.
