It Runs In The Family Book Novels & Stories

A month later, armed with my genuine near-perfect scores, I got my acceptance letter to Harvard. As the only legal heir, I took over the board of our family empire. "Throw them all out." Sitting in my grandfather's CEO chair, I gave my first order to the head of security. Chloe was dragged out of the penthouse by security, screaming and cursing my name. Mason cried like a baby, kneeling and begging me for a chance. Cousin Brianna stayed arrogant, claiming I was destroying the family. I didn't give any of them a second glance.

The Family was expanding, and this upscale gentlemen's club was just one of many we had bought around the world over the last few years. Of course, normally, I wouldn’t be sent over to keep an eye on things. We had managers for that. But something was going on in London, and it made The Family nervous. So there I was and there I would stay. At least until the thief was caught and punished. If they were lucky, we would hand them over to the authorities. The Family was a law-abiding consortium after all, but I doubted it. Things would be better handled in house. Quickly and quietly like they always were. It would be better for the guilty party to hand themselves into the police. Much, much bet

And suddenly, I knew what it was like to be Dahlia. People looked at me differently, just because I don't have any parents and 'family' that can take care of me. Ever since then, her and I hung out a lot more, found out things we didn't even know about each other. Well, more like things I didn't know about her, I was rejected from everyone except from her, she was actual family. *** Welcome to 'The end' where different scenarios take place from the inner world of Ajax, Ashley, Alec and Jace invade Dahlias head.

Their faces twisted in confusion, anxiety flickering in their eyes. Whenever they wanted me to give something up, they’d slap me with one hand and offer candy with the other. It never failed to work. All they had to do was take the first step and reach out, and I’d cave every time. This time, no one was on the other end of the call, eagerly calling them “Mom” and “Dad.” “Honey, Laura’s not exactly the sharpest at work, so why do you keep spoiling her? When we’re gone, she’ll burn through the family’s fortune in no time.

The book probably fell and got under the bed. I pick up the book, and my heart skips at the first image. It’s a sketch of… his family. His mom, dad, Vanessa, and him. But he’s in the far end, and is… a bit shadowy… he’s smiling, but not like the rest. His smile looks fake. He looks like he’s with them… but not exactly part of them… I flip the page, and my throat dries up when I see a vertically drawn image. I turn the book, and instantly feel tears begin to sting the back of my eyes.

"Come on, let's have a drink, just the two of us!" My foster mother finally let go of me, turning to Solomon with a scolding look. "All you think about is drinking! Our son just got home, and you're pouring yourself a glass? Thomas, stop him! Your old man's got high blood pressure; he should cut back on drinking!" Listening to my foster mother's chattering, I felt an overwhelming sense of warmth. This was my home. These were my real family. Before long, I heard that the Sullivans had gone bankrupt, and Giselle had disappeared with Kevin's last bit of money.

I once believed Ronald would be my salvation. My parents always told me we were poor, and I believed them. But now, I realized that my sister and I are actually heiresses to the renowned Fall Corporation. "Alice, be a good girl. All the family's money has gone to your sister’s treatment and education. We don’t have any extra, so you have to work hard and help pay for her medical bills."

It was large enough to cover most of my face. When I arrived at the book signing, the place was packed with fans. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming at first. Then, just like in my previous life, everything changed when Jenna showed up—along with the rest of my family. "You made me sick, ruined my chances of getting into any university, and seduced every boy I liked... I've put up with you all this time. Isn't that enough? Why did you have to steal the story I worked so hard to write?"

He said. “Like what?” I asked. “Family history. Not just Logan’s family. But yours too.” He said. “Why would my family history be in that book? We’re a nobody family. My dad was the head warrior before he was killed and then we were ignored.” I said. “And you’ll find the reason for that in that book.” Cory said. “What?” I asked. “You will find all of the answers that you need, in that book. Make sure you let me know when you find it.” He said.

“Family’s going to be home any minute. Better clean up… unless you want my brother to see what a filthy cumdump his little sister really is.” *End of Collection
