Chapter 11: Not a Coincidence Anymore

ANNA POVBelles' voice was really quiet. Her words hit me hard. It was like she was trying to hold something that was already falling apart between us."Anna " she said softly looking at me with concern in her eyes. She glanced over at Lucian for a second before looking at me. "I think we should listen to him. He says he knew your father and he's been treating you well since you got here."This made my chest feel tight. Not because I agreed with her. It was because I did not understand where she was coming from. It felt like I had walked into a conversation that had started a time before I got there.My thoughts were all jumbled up like a mess.

Her hand was still on my arm like she was holding me in place."Anna you have to understand what I am saying.

Chapter 13: The Plan Before Time Runs Out

LUCIAN POVThe office had been really quiet for a long. You see, silence in Sterling Mansion is never really quiet because when it is quiet it usually means someone is planning somethingI was standing near the window behind my desk watching the rain come down slowly against the dark city sky. My mind was still thinking about what was going on upstairs.Anna.I could still see the look in her eyes when she walked away with Belle. It was stuck in my head. I could not stop thinking about it.I was feeling a lot of things. Distrust. Exhaustion. Fear. Not the kind of fear that makes you scream or run away.. The kind that settles in slowly after you have been disappointed too many times.I know this kind of fear well.Luke said from behind me "She will agree eventually." His voice was steady.

Anna walked in first looking calm as usual but her eyes flicked to me for a second like she was checking to see how I was doing.Then Belle came in behind her.All of a sudden the office did not feel like a place where we made plans anymore.It felt like a place where people lived.It felt human.It felt like it was hurting.Anna stood by the door for a little longer than she needed to like she was getting ready to come in all the way. I saw that her fingers were clenched together in front of her.People only did that when they were trying not to break down in front of others.Belle was behind her being quieter than before. Her eyes were moving around the room care
