A second later, the cold, untouchable CEO quietly put on a pair of gloves and got to work cracking crab legs. The livestream exploded. Millions of people tuned in to watch the richest family eating at a local seafood joint. [I'm dying. So this is the family hierarchy at home. Even the richest guy isn't on top!] [Poor Ethan. Juliet is clearly the favorite.] [This family is insanely good-looking. The vibe is unreal.] [If that fake heiress saw this, she'd probably lose it in her cell.] Three months later, Laurel's sentence was handed down. Because of the large amount involved, along with fraud and public disturbance, she received eight years. Rumor had it that she cried until she passed out in

Elena's POV: Adriana was arrested and imprisoned, but Mom and Dad had no time to grieve, much less save her. The shocking news of "Wealthy Heiress Kills Sister" shot straight to the top of entertainment headlines. When the Reed family saw the scars covering the corpse on the news and heard my name in the broadcast, they instantly realized the Lane family had played them. This time, they showed no mercy and bankrupted the Lane family overnight. Debt collectors and reporters blocked the entrance to their house so tightly that not a fly could get out. My elderly parents hid inside their home, too afraid to venture out.

During a family banquet, four-year-old Benjamin Miller is made to kneel and apologize to Hannah Garber's husband, all because he called her "Mommy" in front of everyone. Samuel Miller arrives at the scene to find the banquet hall empty and blood on the ground. The housekeepers pour buckets of water across the floor, washing off the blood again and again. With red eyes, Samuel rushes forward and grabs one of the housekeepers by the arm. "Where's Ben? Where's my son? Where is he?" The accosted housekeeper shrugs off Samuel's grip. "How the hell should I know? I should be in bed at this damn hour, but instead, I'm here scrubbing blood off the floor!" Samuel, his eyes still red with tears,

Sinclair chimed in, approving of every word that left Claire's mouth. Without even looking at them, I knew they formed the picture-perfect definition of a happy family. The sounds were so... domestic. I held tightly onto a book I had grabbed from the room's closet. It was covered in dust, but it had caught my eye. Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I remembered seeing books like this growing up, but I had never gotten to read the series. I had lost interest in childhood novelties back then, completely consumed by trying to win over a family that would eventually orchestrate my death.

“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,

The three of them showed me my room and the mounds of books they'd stocked on the shelves, and I stayed holed up alone until dinner, lost in the pages of a made-up world. It was weird to eat with anyone other than my mom, or anywhere other than at our table for two. Ours was nestled into a corner of our living room to create a makeshift dining space. Even at eight years old, I knew it wasn't much, but it was ours, and my mom worked hard to make sure we had a nice place. It wasn't as big as the Shaws' house. Our carpet was flat from walking on it all the time, and my twin bed didn't have a matching dresser, much less a nightstand and a lamp. The walls were white and our dishes mismatched, but

I closed my eyes, letting the last shred of my attachment to family die. "Think whatever you want. But Mom, even if you kill yourself right now, I'm still telling everyone the truth about that matcha."

"Only one way to prove that." "Careful, wife." I warned, my voice low and teasing. "I always rise to a challenge." She laughed softly, her gaze falling to the book she’d closed. "Do you know what this book’s about?" I glanced at the title again, pretending to think. "A family, right? Something about poverty and resilience?" She nodded, seeming a bit surprised though she had found the book in the beach house, probably assuming I've never read it. "It’s about overcoming tough beginnings and finding beauty in broken places. It’s sad but also hopeful." Her voice softened and she looked thoughtful.

"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.

The floor was sparkly and the books were neatly arranged, but I could feel the dust beneath the shelf as I ran my right hand on the smooth wood. Twice in a day. Same straightforward question, the same tight-lipped response. Like Camille, had something sinister happened to the rest of the family? Was Salvatore… dead?. Why won't anyone tell me anything? What was the family hiding?! I swept through the books, not the new ones, but the old ones kept away on a special-looking shelf. Most of them were about the Axtons, history, journals, and keep stakes from their previous lives in the mafia world. I read a few pages from one of the books and my wonderment went up a notch.
