The two family’s had always been close. Bailey Everleigh never thought too much about it until the summer that everything changed. She had been raised with her own family, and theirs was always nearby as well. They did almost everything together. She had always thought it was because both were large families. They understood the way things were done in them that people who didn’t have eight-plus kids could never.

A sleepy little boy wandered out and ran straight to him, all clingy. "Daddy, I wanna see my sister! Mommy said she's making potato salad and baked ribs tonight. She can't break her promise!" I stared at the kid. He looked just like Talia. All those late nights—I thought she was grinding for her career. Turns out, she was running a whole other family. And me? I'd never even had a single meal she cooked. On the table sat a fresh family photo—four of them. Talia in Danny's arms, their son beside them, their newborn in hers.

It also signified a little more seriousness and responsibilities in terms of Spears INC. In case I hadn’t made it clear, I run a multibillion-dollar company. My parents had died six years ago, just in time for my eighteenth birthday, and in turn, left the company in my care. No risk was taken because I have been in the family business since I turned 12. I watched him stand up and straighten his crisp white shirt, before turning to him. I watched him with some adoration but my ‘alter ego’ was irritated by him already. Why did he smile so much?

“Neither Damon Smith nor his representatives have commented. But sources close to the family describe the incident as ‘deeply concerning.’ More as the story develops.” Mya groaned and grabbed the remote. She clicked the TV off before the word concerning could loop in her brain any longer. She pressed the remote against her forehead, as though the cool plastic could block the irritation, could keep the heat rising in her chest from spilling over. Her pulse still raced. The last thing she needed was another narrative about her life being spun into headlines. She was tired of being Damon’s wife, Damon’s ex-wife, the pitiful woman who walked away with nothing. Every time she turned on a screen,

Meanwhile, Dad had carefully steered clear of the junk projects, earning a reputation in the business world for his keen judgment. The disasters left Mom and Megan drowning in debt. In desperation, Mom even tapped into company funds to cover losses. Unfortunately, my lovesick sister spilled everything recklessly. Soon after, Mom's company was investigated thoroughly, and Dad executed the divorce decisively. Megan lost her job, and Dad's will stripped her of her inheritance and threw her out of the family. With my dad severing ties with the Parker family, the once-flourishing Parker Group collapsed entirely. Chloe, once proud and arrogant, nearly attempted suicide in the wake of her family's

Isaiah said. “Are you okay with the possibility that it could be Sinclair?” I asked. “Yeah. She is the nerdy type. She seems to have family drama too. Have you noticed that Dad and you both were mated to women with family drama?” “Adrian had family drama to deal with too when I came to Amber.” I said. “Yeah, so there seems to be family drama with Sinclair, which means there is something I probably going to have to step in and fix later.” He said.

I see the exhaustion on their faces, the strain that sits in their eyes, the remnants of adrenaline that have not quite burned off. The study smells like oak and old books and fresh bourbon, a smell that has anchored me through divorce, boardroom wars, and family tragedies. I pour four glasses and hand them out. The weight of the bottle steadies me. “Family first,” I say, settling into my chair. “Truth without varnish.” Damian sits stiffly across from me, nursing the glass but not drinking yet. Charles takes his seat with a sigh that seems to carry fifty years of regret. Jonathan drops into the armchair near the fireplace, the bruises under his eyes proof that neither guilt nor fear leaves e

"A good wife brings prosperity to generations. A wicked one ruins an entire family. Choose wisely." As the night deepened, the family gathered to keep vigil beside the caskets. Kelly, unwelcome among them, shrank into a corner, her presence tolerated but barely acknowledged. I found her there later. "Zarrick's finished," I told her softly. "And when I leave him, I'll make sure he walks away with nothing. If you're willing to stay with him then, when he's broke and ruined, then maybe—just maybe—I'll believe your love is real."

“No, sir. I swear I didn’t.” Dad coughed hard, his body shaking with the effort. “You made my daughter miserable for nine years. If your dirty business caused this, I will destroy you from this bed.” Damien’s expression turned colder. “Watch your words, old man. I’m trying to keep this family together whether you like it or not.” Dad turned his tired eyes to me. “Take Liam and run, Lila. Do not let him pull you back in. You finally got out. Stay out.”

"Talia... Talia's gone..." Her voice was hollow, drained of everything but despair. Dad rushed in, saw the note on the floor, and his vision nearly went black again. Their son was dead. Their daughter was gone. The family had shattered completely. The home that had once been full of noise and life now held nothing but the two of them, alone in an empty house, with nothing to keep them company but regret and despair. Talia had left without any contact information, and no one knew where she had gone. She had vanished from the city as if she had never existed.
