(Amara)"Everyone, get ready. We can't have the celebrant downstairs before us."My mother's voice rings through the mansion, carrying above the noise that fills every corner of the house.The entire place is alive.Event planners move from one end of the hall to the other, checking every detail with practiced efficiency. Some are adjusting clusters of balloons while others carefully arrange flower displays along the staircase. Workers climb ladders to secure shimmering ribbons from the ceiling. The designated stage is being inspected for the third time because Lily had very specific requests about how she wanted everything positioned.The air itself feels electric.There is excitement everywhere. Footsteps echo across polished floors. Laughter drifts from distant rooms. Instructions are exchanged back and forth. The scent of fresh flowers hangs in the air, mixing with expensive perfume and the rich aroma of handcrafted pastries, macarons, and desserts arranged across elegant display t

(Anonymous)"What do you think you're doing?!"The words explode out of me as I shove her into the room.She stumbles backward, struggling to regain her balance. Her head drops low, strands of hair falling across her face.I stand there staring at her.My pulse pounds.Anger surges through me so violently that it feels like it's burning beneath my skin.Then she slowly lifts her head.Her eyes meet mine."Why?" she asks mockingly. "I can't come to a birthday party now?"For a second, I just stare at her.“What?”The word slams into me.Before I realize it, my feet are already moving.I close the distance between us and seize her arm.Hard."Do you think I saved your life for you to be careless with it?" I snarl.She winces, but I don't stop."If I hadn't pulled you away just now, if I hadn't dragged you in here, do you have any idea what would've happened?"I glare straight into her eyes."Maya would've seen you."My jaw tightens."She would've found out you're alive."I lean closer.

(Rayner)My eyes remain on her the entire night.On her.On the breathtaking woman standing across the hall, looking like she stepped straight out of a fairytale.I try not to make it obvious.I fail.At least, judging from the number of times Stella attempts to pull my attention back to her.But what am I supposed to do?It's Amara.And she's right there.Every time I look at her, it feels impossible to look away.And she's right there.Looking every bit the princess she is tonight.Then something shifts.The smile on her face disappears.Her shoulders tighten.The light in her eyes dims.My brows pull together.What happened?My gaze follows hers toward the stage.Toward the performance the children are putting on.I watch for a few seconds.The lonely child.The rejection.The pleading.The way the others keep pushing her away.A strange feeling settles in my chest.Could it be—The thought dies instantly.Because Amara suddenly turns and walks away.My body reacts before my brain

(Amara)“So what are you going to do now?” Maya asks as we step back into the office. “You finally got the presentation done, and it was a success. The team will be dissolved soon, so you’ll have to get your hands on something else.”A scoff leaves me as I settle into my seat and lean my head back.“I know, Maya,” I say weakly. “It’s just—”“Do you still think about what happened that night?”Her question cuts through me instantly.My mind flashes back.A week ago.Lily’s birthday party.A sigh leaves me.I still remember her face.The hurt in her eyes when she blamed me for her parents’ fight.I know I shouldn’t care.I know I shouldn’t let it bother me.It’s not my fault.Grace started everything.Yet I can’t seem to let it go.Something about it just feels wrong.“I mean…” I lean forward slightly. “It’s not going to be easy, right? Trying to win Lily over.”I force out a small laugh.“She hates me now.”“Do you have to win her over?”Maya’s question makes me pause.I stare at her.

(Amara)We walk through the restaurant doors, and my mother's words immediately drift through my mind."You should both catch up. It's been long, don't you think?"A quiet sigh slips from my lips."Yeah," I murmur to myself.It has been a long time.A dinner wouldn't hurt.We reach our table, and Lorenzo pulls out a chair for me.With a grateful smile, I take my seat."So," he says as he settles across from me, "what would you like to have?"I glance down at the menu, but before I can answer, he speaks again."Would you like me to choose for you?"My eyes lift to his.There’s an anticipation in them. Same one he always had when we were kids.I hold it for a second, pressing my lips to a thin line.Then I nod.“Sure. I’d appreciate that.”His face brightens instantly."Perfect."He scans the menu before calling the waitress over."We'll have the grilled steak with herb potatoes and mushroom sauce. Two portions."The waitress nods politely."We'll have it ready shortly."Once she leaves
