Grace closed the box and set it aside, her smile softening as she added, "Humans can be willful and foolish. You must have seen it yourself—selling their own kind for a few coins. It’s no wonder Dallion doesn’t trust easily." Sherry couldn’t argue with that. She’d witnessed enough betrayal to last a lifetime. Humans selling humans. It was the ugliest truth of all. She shifted uncomfortably as Grace went on. "The corruption spreads through betrayal, heartbreak, loss. It twists a mafia’s emotions until they no longer recognize themselves. And when that happens... well, chaos follows." "That’s terrifying," Sherry whispered. Grace shrugged, her tone lighter now, as though they hadn’t just been d

“Come on. I’ll take you upstairs to rest.” He stood and guided her toward the stairs. Finn and Calvin exchanged a look. Then they followed right after them. God, I wanted to go eavesdrop so badly. Linda, sitting beside me, muttered under her breath, “Slutty bitch.” That jogged my memory. There was a drugging subplot around this part of the story. If I remembered correctly, Linda was the culprit. She had been secretly in love with Calvin for years, but Calvin only had eyes for Nancy. In the original novel, she managed to drug him, but afterward he turned the tables and dosed her ten times worse, leaving her stranded with no help. She ended up with a terrible fate.

Reluctantly, I set the spoon back down, shrugged to show I understood. Dad always said family should not be bogged down by too many rules. Those high-society rituals were suffocating. I needed to get my hands on the inheritance and get back to Newvale City, pronto. It was only after Edward picked up his spoon that the rest of us could eat. Victoria whispered just loud enough, "No manners at all..." I ignored her. She was not the real challenge there, not with her every move so plainly obvious. Alice, setting down her spoon, turned to me with a curious gaze. "Sis," she inquired, "is it true you were boxing for money before?"

I felt so ashamed of myself - ashamed that I had long since lost the man Grace believed me to be, the man she loved so much, believed in so much. "You knew me in a different life, Grace. Losing you... losing my pup. It changed me - turned me into someone that I wasn't proud of. It turned me into a ruthless, selfish monster." Grace quickly stepped up to me and placed a gentle hand on my cheek. "Don't say that. You're not a monster." I turned my face away from her.

Someone had started a petition demanding we be banned from every private club in Manhattan. I walked for blocks without a destination, just moving because standing still felt impossible. Ended up outside the Chrysler Building staring up at my office forty-three floors above street level. Everything I'd built was up there. My company, my reputation, my carefully constructed life. And it was all crumbling because I'd thought I was smarter than everyone else, thought I could game the system, thought women were puzzles to be solved instead of people to be respected. Grace had been right. I was going to regret this. Was already regretting it in ways I hadn't known were possible.

"Why? You don't even know if I’m telling the truth. What if I am truly a scandal? What if I am a disgrace? And what if I am lying?" Bonny stopped what he was doing, his hand resting on the edge of the bookshelf. "Because, Oma, a 'disgrace' doesn't run toward a dishwasher's job in a freezing coastal town to protect her child. A disgrace stays in the penthouse and signs the NDA for a million dollars. You’re a fighter. And in my experience, fighters are the only people worth saving."

“They had no idea of the nightmare I was living in. No one knew. I was too scared to ask for help… Leopold was so violent, he used to hit me at the slightest provocation, he enjoyed humiliating me…” Grace closes her eyes as if she was fighting the tears back. The audience looks at her feeling sorry for her alleged past. Peggy Sue is also about to cry, moved by Grace’s fake story. “I had no idea! What a nightmare! I am so sorry to hear that, Grace,” Peggy Sue says blinking the tears away. I clench my fists in anger. My blood is boiling with her lies. Grace opens her eyes again with a hint of a smile on her face. “I am better now, Peggy Sue. Now I am home with my family. After all these years,

I saw the deep crease in his brow and the slight tremor in his fingers; it was the disappointment of a man who didn’t lament my morality, but my lack of caution. My mother was in a state I had never seen in all my life. Her face, always impeccable and held high with arrogance, now bore a mask of absolute shame. She seemed to have shrunk beneath her designer dress. For the first time, I saw the woman who taught me that the family name was everything crushed by the weight of dishonor. And Grace… my sister just watched. There was a disturbing glint in her eyes, a morbid curiosity, as if she were watching a car crash in slow motion, just waiting to see who would be the next to die.

He stood up as his bus rounded the corner, and he stuck his hand out to make the bus stop. "Sorry, I can't help you. I'm going to be late for work."
