ZYRA. "I really don't understand why we're dressing up to go for this party." Ree complained while doing my hair. "Yes, I understand it's a big deal, but this doesn't make any sense. We're supposed to be doing more." I'm really glad Ree came to stay with me immediately after I landed. She was scared Mike would show up unannounced at my door. "I know, but I'm kind of excited about this. It's the Lane Empire's 35th anniversary. I think-" I got up and made her sit. "We should just take whatever life throws at us." I bent down and placed my cheek on hers. "Look in the mirror. Look at how beautiful we look. Look at all we've accomplished in seven months babe. We've been invited to a series of parties where we've been very important people. We've added more zeros to our millions. I mean-" I got up. "Girl, you're the one supposed to be giving me this advice." We laughed. "I'm just worried. Their Dad just put everything on hold for this. I even heard that he invited ev

ZAYLEN. "Aunt Mira. What a pleasure." I let Ardyn keep her occupied while I went after Ellie and Ward. I really don't understand what is going on. Is this a game? What is this for them? I have been actively trying to find the meaning of all this. Why is Ellie in the picture? Why is Mike out? What does Sabrina have to do with being Gold's sister and why is it just coming out now? What is Ward doing all this for? Sabrina? I followed them outside. They were both walking in unison. Like they knew someone was following them, but I didn't mind. I must get the information I'm looking for. "Dad, what's next after this?" Nah! Impossible. I stopped and shook my head. These people think I'm a fool. "I don't know. Enjoy the party?" They laughed. "Just leave the rest to me." "Okay. I'm going to go inside now." I sighed and went back in. Was this a distraction? "We're so sorry. We thought you were someone else." I heard Gold say to Aunt Mira when I got back in. I

ZYRA. Ree and I made our way home and got dressed. I wore a shimmering lilac mini dress with a plunging halter neckline, open waist cutout, and dramatically ruched draping around the hips. I mean, it's my birthday, and I'm going to a party. I didn't do much for my hair. Ree had it blown out, with light curls. I wore my favorite heels, YSL obviously, and my favorite scent or his favorite scent 'of me'. Zee lo dejó. Es tu puto cumpleaños y estás pensando en un hombre que no te llamó. (Zee quit it. It's your fucking birthday and you're thinking about a man who didn't call you.) I kept repeating this in my head to console myself. I mean why didn't he call? "Zee? You good?" "Of course, I am." I applied my lip gloss and ran my hands through my hair. "This color looks so good on you." "I know right?" She screamed happily and went to look at herself in the mirror. Again. She wore a fitted turquoise mini dress with a sheer lace corset bodice, halter neckline, open cen

RYNNELLE. "This is the last party I'm going to for the next three months. What the fuck!" No, this was outrageous. We've been going for parties back-to-back. I know I love dressing up, but like, can we get just a little break? "Tell me about it." Zee was also tired. After her birthday, Lane threw an exquisite party for her with just a few people here and there. Her mom came with a few friends, Aunt Mira, and Mr. Lane. Like just very few people. And then we had the Lane Empire 35th anniversary, and now Hayward Foundation is doing a launching. Out of the blues. No one even knew Hayward that much. Why are we going? Remembering all the events we've gone for, and the one we're about to go for, gave me a headache. "I'm damn serious. I need our hair to catch a break. I need to feel my skin for two weeks without make-up, and I just want to be in very comfy clothes." Zee was just laughing. I could say I was more tired than she was, but we were both tired. That doesn't mean

ZYRA. Just as I was about to- the lights went off and I just sprinted out of the hall. I couldn't breathe. I could hear Ree calling my name as I was running out in the darkness, but I couldn't think of anything else than leaving this environment. All the memories just started replaying in my head. Me feeling uneasy after meeting him for the first time and shaking his hands. I should have known. Us dancing and he said Sabrina and I had a lot in common. I should have investigated more. Me holding his suit and teasing him about his burn not knowing his silicon mask had melted. I should have fucking known. I was so stupid. All the times we've made contact; he was after me. He used someone or he came by himself. I was about to kill myself. I was going to kill myself. "Ria." I paused. I had the sudden urge. I don't know why. I really don't know why, but I did it. "Dad?" I turned around to face him. Tears in my eyes. It shouldn't be like this. There was more to this lif
