The room went dead silent.I was still awkwardly holding the pillow out like a shield. Adrian was still actively vibrating in his chair, trying and failing to hold back his laughter. And Dad was standing framed in the doorway, staring at the two of us with an expression of profound, radiating suspicion.Nobody moved. Nobody spoke.Then, Adrian completely and utterly betrayed me. He raised a hand and pointed a finger right at me. “He started it.”My head snapped toward him so fast I felt a pop in my neck. “What?!”“I was completely minding my own business.”I stared at him in absolute, jaw-dropping disbelief. “You literally climbed through my third-story balcony like a cat burglar!”Dad slowly turned his head to look at the open balcony doors, the curtains still fluttering slightly in the evening breeze. Then he looked back at Adrian. Then he looked back at me. For some reason, his face looked even less impressed than it had when he first walked in.I sat up quickly, dropping the pil

The next morning felt strangely, unsettlingly normal.Strangely.Because I woke up, blinking against the sunlight filtering through massive velvet curtains, and for a few blissful seconds, I completely forgot where I was. I thought I was back in my cramped, slightly messy apartment, about to trip over one of Bella's stray shoes on my way to the kitchen.Then I actually looked around at the cavernous, high-ceilinged bedroom, the pristine furniture, the sweeping view of the estate, and reality slammed back into me like a physical blow.Right. Mansion. Dead father who wasn’t actually dead. Secret, mildly unhinged brother. Whole life completely ruined.Great. Phenomenal start to the day.I dragged myself out of the king-sized bed, brushed my teeth, changed into a clean set of clothes, and walked downstairs half-asleep, my boots clicking dully against the grand marble staircase.I was bracing myself for absolute chaos. I expected Adrian to jump out from behind a literal pillar just to anno

I stood there, completely paralyzed, as Adrian’s words echoed around the pristine mahogany walls of the office.Bella is outside.She’s yelling at the guards.“What do you mean, she’s yelling at the guards?” I asked, my voice cracking under the sheer weight of the absurdity. “Adrian, there are men out there with submachine guns and tactical vests. She is five-foot-two and her primary weapon is a rolled-up fashion magazine!”“I don’t know what to tell you, man!” Adrian threw his hands up, looking genuinely traumatized. “The gate security fed her a line about ‘restricted entry’ and she told the head of security that his buzzcut was an analytical failure and demanded to speak to the manager of the mansion!”Dad looked between the two of us, his formidable eyebrows drawing together until they practically formed a straight line. “The manager of the mansion? Do you mean... me?”“Yes, Dad, you!” Adrian gasped, checking his watch. “And you have about four minutes before she figures out how to

The silence that followed Bella’s mid-term lecture was absolute.A heavy, suffocating stillness descended over the grand stone portico. The security guards on either side of the doors looked like they were trying to blend into the masonry, utterly terrified to breathe. Kai hadn't moved an inch, his hand still hovering dangerously close to his jacket lining, while Nikolai’s gaze remained locked onto Dad like a wolf calculating the exact trajectory to a throat.And Dad? Dad just stood there.He didn’t summon twenty more men. He didn’t reach for a weapon. He just stared down at Bella, his face a perfectly carved block of stone, completely unreadable.“A mid-term,” Dad repeated slowly. His deep, resonant voice carried over the morning breeze, entirely devoid of the lethal edge it had possessed in the command center last night. It sounded almost… analytical.“Yes, a mid-term,” Bella said, completely doubling down. She took another aggressive step up the stairs, forcing Dad to actually tilt
