Afton Family Novels & Stories

Fletcher and Carson both moved quickly to invite Caitlin out of the cart. And just like that, Caitlin openly followed the old master into the Jonathan family’s grand hall. Inside, many members of the family had already gathered. Fletcher’s wife Blythe, their daughter Harper, Matthew and his wife with their twin daughters, Hector’s third daughter Fallon, fourth daughter Liliana, and youngest son Israel. The whole family sat neatly in the hall, eyes turning to the entrance where Caitlin stepped in. Nicoletta stood to help the old man into the main seat, then sat beside him. She turned her gaze on Caitlin.

“With the whole family.” Franklin nodded slightly, even though it couldn’t be seen. “Noted,” he replied before ending the call. There was a lot waiting for them in Atherton, responsibilities and unfinished matters that couldn’t be ignored, and somewhere beneath it all, the absence of Tristan lingered heavily, something neither of them spoke about but both felt. Franklin made another call almost immediately. “Jonathan,” he said once the line connected, “we’re meeting the family tomorrow. You need to be there.”

he glanced up at me again, his voice dipping into something more emotional, more raw— “Aurora came along. She saved us.” My throat tightened, and I placed a hand over my heart, trying to steady it. Ashton continued, “To Avery, Aurora isn’t just someone nice who took her in. She’s… she’s family. She’s the only real family she’s ever known. That’s why she acts so possessive. Because to her, Aurora’s not just a friend or a caretaker. She’s like a big sister.” Riley blinked, his eyes growing wider as he listened. His little fingers gripped mine tighter, then relaxed as understanding started to seep into him. He glanced down, processing the information, before looking back at Ashton.

Andreas looked surprised by Alfred's announcement, which made me realize that he had no idea that Alfred was planning to give ‘Ashton’ this responsibility, making matters worse. Adam and Amarinth were immediately in disagreement, "That's impossible, Father," Adam said, his lips turned down in a sneer as he glared at Andreas and me, "No one outside the family has ever been in charge of the anniversary." Amarinth agreed, making no attempts to hide her disdain "It's a family tradition. It should be one of us." Alfred raised an eyebrow. "Is that what you're saying? That Ashton is not part of the family? She is your brother’s wife. Does this mean that your wife Sansa is not part of this family?”

“Does the Thomson family count as noble? James’ Family.” The girl’s family background was far from the James family. She restrained her surprise at Ailina’s beauty and said arrogantly, “In City A there are four big families, the Alfonzo family, the Maxwell family, the Kensley family, and the White family. The Thompson family is not among the four big families, but they are closely related to the Alfonzo family, second only to the four big families. As the fiancée of the Third Master, you don’t even know this?”

He'd died and left their lives in utter shambles. Ashton had come home and done everything in his power to put the family back into a good position. But his mother hadn't responded to his actions with joy. Rather, she'd told him that his need for money and power had made him just like his father. The words had cut deep, and the coldness he'd felt from her since that day had left him wounded and angry. Even the memory left a bitter taste in his mouth. Needless to say, family dinners at Lennox House were damned awkwardwhen he bothered to come home for them.

“That’s one way to put it.” He folded his arms, leaning against the piano. “You know this family. We’re loud. We’re protective to the point of insanity. We screw up, we overreact, we panic. But one thing we never do—ever—is let someone in halfway.” Trina stilled. Cameron’s voice softened. “You’re not just dating Adrian anymore. You’re part of us now.” Her breath caught. “You’re family,” he said simply. “Cross family. And not because of the baby or the drama or the headlines. Because you’ve been here, beside us, beside him, even when everything turned ugly.”

CHAPTER 308 It was the start of the family’s downfall. In addition, she and her son had already snatched all of the family properties, killing off some small fry in the family along the way.
