NARAThe door swung open, and the cold air inside hit me first. Tristan walked in right beside me, his shoulder almost touching mine like a shield, while Jared trailed quietly behind us.The living room was completely dead silent. The entire family was gathered there, waiting. Cassie was huddled in the back, her eyes swollen and red from crying. Aunt Ophelia stood near the couch with her arms crossed, while Jared’s parents stood right in the center of the room. The tension in the air was so thick you could cut it with a knife.The moment Jared’s mother saw me, she rushed forward. Before I could even react, she pulled me into a tight, desperate hug.“Nara… oh, Nara, I am so, so sorry,” she sobbed right into my shoulder, her body shaking. “I can’t even begin to imagine the trauma this has caused you. We were so wrong. I have no words to excuse how we treated you, my dear. All I can say is that I am so deeply sorry. Please, please forgive us.”I stood there like a statue. My hands stayed

NARADAYS LATEREver since I stepped foot back inside the Wilson estate, a strange, heavy numbness had taken over my whole body. It felt like my mind had disconnected itself from my heart just to protect me from breaking down completely.My life felt like a bad dream that I couldn’t wake up from. Just a few days ago, I was being humiliated, slapped, and handed over to the police like a common criminal. Today, I was back in the same grand house, standing under the same chandeliers, surrounded by the same people who had cheered for my downfall.I decided right then and there that the only way to survive this place was to become invisible.I kept my mouth shut. I made sure to speak as little as possible, avoiding Jared and the rest of his family like a plague.The only person I actually felt safe talking to was Tristan, but even with him, I stayed mostly quiet.I spent my nights alone in the cold, empty guest room, staring at the ceiling until my eyes burned. During the day, I threw myse

The heavy double doors opened quietly as Bethany stepped inside. She smoothed down her tailored dress, holding a small gift bag in her hand.On the surface, she was just coming over for a sweet, thoughtful visit to check up on Aunt Ophelia. But in reality, she was here for information.Aunt Ophelia was sitting in the formal tea room upstairs, sipping her herbal tea. When she saw Bethany walk in, her face brightened up slightly.“Bethany, my dear,” Ophelia said, setting her cup down on the glass saucer. “What a pleasant surprise.”“Good afternoon, Aunt Ophelia,” Bethany replied, offering a warm, graceful smile. She walked over, set the small gift bag on the table, and leaned down to give her a light cheek-to-cheek kiss.“I was just passing by the neighborhood and thought I should drop by to see how you’re holding up. You sounded a bit stressed the last time we spoke over the phone.”Ophelia let out a long, heavy sigh, shaking her head.“Stressed is an understatement, my dear. This hous

WEEKS LATEROn the other side of town, in a crowded, noisy diner, Mike sat in a vinyl booth staring at his phone screen.His face twisted in pure frustration. Notification after notification popped up—unpaid rent warnings, late credit card fees, and endless utility bills reminders. Every single red number on the screen reminded him of how broke he was.“Excuse me, sir?”Mike snapped his head up, glaring at a young waitress standing beside his table with a small notepad in her hand.“What do you want?” he grumbled.“Are you going to order something, or are you just going to sit there?” the waitress asked, her tone flat. “We’re getting really busy, and customers are trooping in looking for tables. If you’re not ordering, I’m going to have to ask you to leave.”Mike took immediate offense, slamming his phone face-down on the table.“Are you serious right now?! Am I the only person sitting in this stupid diner that you see to talk to?!”The waitress didn’t flinch.“Nope. But you’re the on
