She scanned the road, hoping to spot a cab, but there was none, so she pressed forward, walking despite the complaints from her feet.

The driver leaned out the window, squinting his eyes at her. “Aren’t you one of Jace’s inner circle?” he asked, recognizing her instantly. “What are you doing all the way out here?” Stephanie didn’t answer.

It was such a familiar gesture, it was the one she had used countless times before except that it made my skin crawl now. I remembered another hand. Eric's trembling hands as he struggled to breathe beneath my grip. I remembered Marianne, the reports, the fabricated confession, the staged suicide.

My tears burnt as I walked down the staircases as rolled my bag towards the door. Flashback memories haunted me of the first day when I rolled this same bag inside this mansion which was also the first day that I set eyes on Xander. Who would have guessed back then that I would fall in love…with my father’s murderer!!! With this thought, I found the courage to open the door but as I took a step out of the mansion I felt as if I was leavin

Stephan's face remained a mask of indifference, his dark eyes glinting with skepticism as he regarded Sylvia, his silence speaking volumes. But it was really his driver's fault, Okay?

Nothing more. But the emptiness stung. The knowledge that her fairy tale princess wedding was over because of her step mother's ego and love of money and her husband unfeeling and unforgiving to her. The baby kicked, making her let out a thunderous growl, her hand smacking against the stomach. A life is growing in her, healthy. She turned her weight, tugging at the light cardigan on her shoulders and set out in the parking lot direction. The second she stepped out, a familiar voice cut through the air.

It’s trapped somewhere between embarrassment, confusion, and the way Lucas looked at me earlier like I was something he didn’t know how to handle. The library is quiet. Peaceful. Predictable. The kind of place where emotions are supposed to stay muted. Then I feel it. That familiar rush of chaotic energy that only one person in my life carries. “Marcella!” I flinch slightly and look up.
