•OCTAVIA•“Fuuuck!” I screamed at the steering wheel of my car. I slammed my head against the car seat and released a deep breath before driving off.I didn’t know what to do. Connor didn’t want to leave Giselle’s ward. I wanted to be alone with her and ensure she never ruined things for me when she woke up.When I shot her, I thought she’d die with the truth, and it would reach no one’s ears. My fear was her waking up and telling Connor and the police that I had shot her.She had ruined everything for me. She took away everything I had hoped to have, and I felt justified in protecting what was mine.The whole thing explained why Noah suddenly turned against me. The thought of him finding out Giselle was in the hospital because of me crippled me.Things were already bad because he was feeling bad about what grandfather told him. He blamed me for how his relationship with Giselle turned out.Connor had told him that Giselle knew about what had happened between us when we were in colle

•GISELLE•I was hyperventilating when Connor closed the door behind Noah. He steadied his breath before he turned and walked toward me.“Hey, are you okay?” he asked as he rushed to my side. He had noticed my rapid breathing.I released a deep breath before looking up at him. “Yeah, I’m fine,” I answered, managing a gentle smile. “Thank you for handling that for me. I honestly don’t want to see Noah.”“I took the kids, Ashley and Haley, to my apartment in Beverly Hills. They will be safe there until you’re discharged,” he said as he sat on the bed beside me. “But Elle, what happened when you got shot?”The question caused a knot in my stomach. My chest tightened, and my hands shook. I closed my eyes and tried to push away the memory that refused to stay buried.My own sister. The one person I thought I had finally repaired things with. The one who smiled at me across a dinner table and told me and wanted peace between us.She wanted me dead.“I don’t know,” I muttered, shaking my head

•OCTAVIA•I watched as my parents walked upside down, preparing for Kiki's funeral. Though I was relieved that her day had finally come, it wasn't a pleasant feeling seeing my father on the verge of losing his mind.He didn’t take it well losing his mother after his sister a few years ago, but Kiki had it coming. She wanted to run her mouth to Giselle, and God knows what would've happened if she had seen her.She would've told her everything I had done to her, and I would've lost everything. So, her death was convenient in preventing the truth from coming out."We need Noah to sponsor the funeral," my mother said when she found me scrolling on my phone in the living room. "We can’t cover all the bills ourselves. I thought you knew that and would talk to your husband." "Noah and I aren't talking right now, Mom, and you know that," I sighed, rolling my eyes. "He's angry with me, and I don't think he'd want to hear anything I have to say again." "You shouldn't forget that you've been

•GISELLE• "Thank you, Giselle," Octavia answered when I pulled away from her. "I honestly don't deserve your forgiveness, but I'll try by all means to show you how grateful I am for another opportunity." I nodded with a smile, though I felt like I was gambling with my life again. There was no telling what she could do to me next, but a part of me hoped she meant every word she said. "Are your parents going to be mad if I come to Nana's funeral tomorrow?" "No, don't worry about them. I'll speak with them, and besides, you were close to Kiki as well, so she will be happy to see that you've made it to her funeral." "Thank you," I answered, smiling at her again. She reached into her handbag and pulled out a small card. I took it, and there were the funeral details on it. "I'll see you tomorrow, sis." She waved at me before she turned around and went to her car in the driveway. I didn't close the door until she had driven away. I closed the door when she was gone and walked d

•NOAH•The following morning, I knew exactly what to do to apologize to Giselle and make things right.My mind and heart were made up. Giselle was the only woman for me, and I'd cross the widest sea for her heart. She was everything I had ever wanted, but didn't know I had it all along. Tracey's words were still ringing in the back of my head. She came back into my life the moment I needed her. It was as if she knew how vulnerable I was. I needed all the help I could get, and she was the only one who knew me more than Giselle did. I woke up and prepared to attend the funeral, though I initially planned not to go. I didn’t want to regret attending Kiki's last send-off because I didn't want to breathe the same air as Octavia.My mother and brother came with me. Octavia, her parents, and her brother arrived a few minutes after we did. I was a little confused about where they were, but I didn't bother to ask questions, as long as Kiki's funeral would go according to plan. But during
