i huffed and crossed my arms from stairs. "Klara stop day dreaming come now fast dad is calling family meeting" My great but not so great brother grayson yelled from downstairs. I guess flashback is over. I quickly went downstairs to living room and saw my parents and brothers were present, guess it's something important. "Finally The Queen has came" "Shut up you dipstick i was daydreaming" "When you don't" "Are you telling me i am always zoning out?" "STOP AIDEN AND KLARA" our dad yelled.

She grabbed at my clothes. "Are you determined to destroy this family? Your father cares so much about his reputation. If you expose this, how will he have any dignity left?" I looked at her calmly. "So the only way this family survives is if I keep sacrificing myself? "So many things have happened, and he hasn't come home once. You fainted and went to the hospital. He didn't even answer his phone. "Mom, stop lying to yourself. You keep thinking about this family… But your husband gambles and cheats, while your son and daughter-in-law are leeches. I was the only one standing beside you, and you kept turning against me."

His loud voice slowly faded. Before my vision went black, I saw my loving parents. They were holding my hands, one on each side, and their smiles were sweet. Our family of three would be together forever very soon. When I woke up again, I was already in the hospital. Ryan had been dozing off with his arms propped on the edge of my bed. When he saw me moving, he immediately got me a glass of water. “Mia, we found that they have transferred all the properties overseas, and the three of them have obtained their visas. The Schmidt Corporation is nothing but an empty shell.

He began to read aloud: "To my beloved family, if you are reading this, it means the time has come for the truth to be known. For years, I have watched my son, Edward—Gavin’s father—struggle to build our family’s fortune, while my grandson, Gavin, grew up wanting everything without ever learning the value of hard work. I feared that one day, his greed would destroy everything we had built."

Audrey came from a rich family herself, she can help him. Pushing my thumb against the door handle for the fingerprint lock, I opened the door and threw away the stupid heels as soon as I got inside. A deep tired sigh left my lips as I leaned against the door, “I hate this family..” I mumbled into the fours walls that kept me safe from them. Here, I didn’t have to worry about any of them barging in, demanding me to do something, especially something I didn’t want to do.

Valerie: “You own all these books?” I asked, my eyes widening at the sight of the library. When the man said library, I had to admit, I didn’t expect him to actually have a literal library in this place. “More or less, yes,” he said, making my heart skip a beat as I walked around to see them. “We inherit them from father to eldest son or daughter, mostly the Alpha that is next in line. We keep them safe and add to them. Some even have our family history, our stories, where we came from, how we started. You know, it is always good to hold onto our history when it comes to situations like this one.”

PREVIEW Chapter 1: The House That Raised Us The sun caught the edges of the grand staircase, turning dust motes into slow arcs of suspended light. Arlo’s hands moved over the polished marble with meticulous care. Each stroke of the cloth was precise, deliberate because in this house, a mistake was more than a slip. It was a reminder of where he stood: the servant’s son, the invisible shadow in a world that belonged to others. He had learned early that the house’s rules extended beyond what was spoken. Every footstep, every glance, every breath had a place and a time. He pressed his palms harder against the rail, watching his reflection ripple in the shine.

She doesn't deserve you at all! "Enough!" Dad interrupted loudly, looking at his crude daughter in disbelief. "Adriana, how can you talk about your sister like that? She was disfigured because of you! And Jonathan is your sister's husband. How can you harbor such thoughts? If people heard this, the Lane family's reputation would be ruined!" Mom opened her mouth, seemingly somewhat disapproving. "I think it's fine, actually. Love is about mutual feelings, isn't it?" Hearing that, I could not help but laugh.

I was interrupted which I'm thankful for. "Relax girl, Javi and my husband has been doing this for a long time, they know what they are doing. It's even a family business." Family business? Does this mean that Ace..? No, it's not possible. What if? No, Ace is not that type of person, right? So do I even really know him? "Family business? Javi's brother works with them?" I poured more wine in her glass cup as well as mine. She took a huge gulp emptying it, I nervously waited for her answer.

"You don't give away family." "Baby—" "They're Gas's babies. Gas is OUR baby. So they're OUR babies too. That's how it works. That's how family works." His voice cracks on the last word. Just slightly. "You don't throw away family just because it's hard." I don't have a response to that.
