breaking point

Chapter 1: The Breaking PointThe ceramic plate slipped through my wet hands before I could catch it. The sound of it shattering against the marble floor echoed through the entire house like a gunshot.My heart stopped.I didn't even have time to look down at the pieces before the slap came. Hard. Fast. The force of it snapped my head to the side, and I tasted blood on my lip."You good-for-nothing woman!" Catherine's voice was a shriek that made my ears ring. "Do you know how much that cost? Twenty thousand dollars! Twenty thousand! But what would you know about money? You can't do anything right! All you do is sit at home like a lazy housewife, breaking things that don't belong to you!"My cheek burned. My eyes stung, but I kept them down, staring at the shattered pieces of the plate. Each fragment felt like a piece of myself."I'm sorry," I whispered. "I didn't mean—""Sorry?" Veriana, my sister-in-law, clicked her heels across the floor until she was right in front of me. I could

the truth

Chapter 2: The TruthI stood in the laundry room, my back pressed against the washing machine, trying to breathe. Trying to think. Trying to understand what I had just witnessed.Who was she?Why was Keal so sweet to her?Why did the entire family light up around her like she was the sun and I was just a shadow they stepped over?Three years. She had been gone for three years. And the moment she walked back in, it was like I had never existed.The door opened.My body went rigid.Desmond stepped inside, closing the door behind him. That smirk was still plastered on his face, his eyes moving over me in that way that made me want to scrub my skin raw."Poor thing," he said, his voice dripping with fake sympathy. He took a step closer. "I really do feel pity for you, Amira."I pressed harder against the washing machine, my hands gripping the edge. "Get out."He ignored me, taking another step. "You know, if you had just given yourself to me, I would never let anyone hurt you. I'd treat y

Albert mansion

Chapter 3: The Albert FamilyI stood there in the rain, water running down my face, my clothes completely soaked through. The four black cars surrounded me like a cage. Their engines were still running, the headlights cutting through the gray storm.Then the doors opened.Three men stepped out.My breath caught in my throat.I knew these faces. Everyone knew these faces.The first man was tall, wearing a perfectly tailored suit that probably cost more than everything I had ever owned combined. His hair was dark and styled back, his jaw sharp, his eyes intense even from a distance. Alex Albert. The youngest billionaire CEO in the world. Twenty-eight years old and worth more money than some small countries. His face was on magazine covers every month.The second man was just as tall, but his style was different. More casual. A designer jacket over a fitted shirt, his hair a little longer, his smile the kind that made millions of women scream his name. Ryan Albert. Top actor. His movies

the golden cage

Chapter 4: The Golden CageThe older man—who introduced himself as Charles, the head butler—led me up the grand staircase. My wet shoes squeaked against the marble with every step. I was painfully aware of the water dripping from my clothes onto their expensive floor."Your room has been waiting for you, Miss Rose," Charles said softly.My room. I didn't have a room here. I'd never been here before.We walked down a long hallway lined with paintings and photographs. I caught glimpses of faces—my brothers at different ages, a beautiful woman who must have been my mother, and several of a little girl with curly dark hair.Me.Charles stopped in front of a white door with gold trim. He turned the handle and pushed it open.I stepped inside and froze.The room was massive. Easily three times the size of the bedroom I'd had at the Quinn house. The walls were painted a soft lavender. There was a canopy bed with white curtains, shelves filled with toys and books, a window seat overlooking th
