THE PRICE OF BREATHING{Playlist Suggestion: "Saturn" by Sleeping At Last / "Fix You" by Coldplay}~CHELSEA POV~The sound of a ventilator is the loneliest sound in the world.'Hiss. Click. Breathe out.'I sat in the plastic chair next to Bed 4 in the ICU. My hands were wrapped around Chase's limp hand. He felt cold. Not the cool of a fall breeze, but the deep, terrifying cold of a body that was forgetting how to keep itself warm.Dr. Ryker stood at the foot of the bed. He looked exhausted. He had been our doctor for years, the one person who actually tried to help us navigate the nightmare of the American healthcare system."He's stable," Dr. Ryker said softly. "For now.""But?" I asked. I knew there was a but. There was always a but."But his oxygen levels aren't holding on their own. The autoimmune flare-up attacked his lungs this time. It was quick. Violent." He sighed, looking down at his chart. "We need to start the second round of the experimental infusions, Chelsea. Tonight.

LOST CAUSES{Playlist Suggestion: "Family Line" by Conan Gray / "Matilda" by Harry Styles}~CHELSEA POV~I left three voicemails while running down 4th Street."Mom, pick up. It's an emergency.""Mom, Samuel stole the money. Chase is in the ICU. Where are you?""Mom, please. I need help."By the time I saw the neon sign for Penny's Diner, my lungs were burning and my hand was throbbing where the glass had cut me. But I didn't care. She had to be here. It was Tuesday. She worked the night shift on Tuesdays.I shoved the glass door open. The bell jingled....a cheerful sound that made me want to scream.The place was dead. Just a couple of old guys drinking coffee and a waitress I recognized named Brenda wiping down the counter.I ran up to her. "Brenda! Where's my mom? Is she in the back?"Brenda looked up, popping her gum. She looked at my messy hair, my bleeding hand, the wild look in my eyes. She didn't look surprised. Just tired."Chelsea, honey," she sighed. "Your mom ain't here."

THE PRICE OF A SOUL{Playlist Suggestion: "Hostage" by Billie Eilish / "Lovely" by Billie Eilish & Khalid}~CHELSEA POV~I was just sitting there in the absolute darkness of my living room which wasn't really a living room anymore because everything was destroyed, curled up in a tight ball on the floor with my knees crunched against my chest while my phone just kept buzzing and buzzing on the floorboards like an angry insect.It was Kade, or maybe it was Zoe, but I couldn't even bring myself to look at the screen because if I saw Kade's name I knew I would completely fall apart, and I didn't have the luxury of falling apart right now because I had to figure out how to get five thousand dollars in less than an hour or my brother was going to die.The room was so quiet except for the buzzing and my own ragged breathing, and then suddenly I heard it—the heavy sound of footsteps coming up the stairs and then the front door creaking open because Samuel had broken the lock when he stormed o

SURVIVAL INSTINCTS{Playlist Suggestion: "Ghost of You" by 5 Seconds of Summer / "Hold On" by Chord Overstreet}~CHELSEA POV~The Mirage was loud, vibrating with that specific Friday night energy that usually made my teeth ache, but tonight I felt like I was moving through water, my body going through the motions of wiping tables and serving drinks while my brain was completely somewhere else.Every time the heavy front door swung open to let in a new group of laughing customers, my head snapped up, my eyes scanning the entrance before I could stop myself, looking for a tall figure in a suit with cold eyes and a predator's walk."He's not coming."I jumped, nearly dropping a tray of empty glasses as Antonio appeared beside me, leaning against the bar with that knowing smirk that made me want to punch him."I wasn't looking for anyone," I lied quickly, turning back to the counter and scrubbing a spot that was already clean."Sure you weren't," Antonio chuckled, checking his watch. "Bu

THE SPARE HEIR{Playlist Suggestion: "Call Out My Name" by The Weeknd / "I Can't Make You Love Me" by Chase Coyne}~KOLT POV~I woke up staring at the ceiling of my room, the clean white paint doing absolutely nothing to cure the pounding headache building behind my eyes.The girl from last night—whose name I had already forgotten—was gone, having taken the hint and the Uber I called for her over an hour ago, but the mess of the night was still sitting heavy in my chest.Of all the places Kade could have brought her, he brought her here, to Knox's sterile safe house, and of course, she had to walk downstairs at the exact moment I was trying to bury my own demons inside a stranger on the living room couch.I rubbed my face with both hands, groaning.I had been actively avoiding Chelsea since that night at my penthouse, the night she stood in my living room crying and offered me her body like it was currency just to save her brother. Hearing her say those words, seeing the utter defeat
