the MC continued. Movement shifted across the room again. Young warriors, battle-scarred sentinels, and noble sons all hopeful, some desperate as they walked with measured steps to the left.

I turned to Ollie and saw her looking at Steve with a longing expression on her face, she looked like a love sick puppy. Ollie turned to me and sent me an awkward smile, "Il catch with you later Jay, Steve is waiting for me there by himself" I felt terrible as I watched Ollie walk away but I found it hard to say no to Adrian. After I sat down, one of Adrian's teammates, who had never spoken to me before asked, "So you guys are step siblings?" Adrian placed his arm around me and replied, "Yep."

we burst into laughter and lay down on the bed. We waited for my husband to finish organizing his parliamentary life so we could go downstairs and say goodbye to the friends we made in Sudan. Because I'm sure Carolina Al-Makki or Madame Swiss will be present in our lives after what happened last night. As soon as Mattia finishes his small meeting with the senator, we head down to the living room, where our hosts were. I could see in Mahjub's expression that he would miss the friendship he formed with Ruslan. In their own way, they managed to form a bond, even though Mahjub didn't speak our language very well, he still managed to have fun with my son.

I tried to sit with my friend Maya, but Luca appeared out of nowhere, sliding his tray down beside mine. "Move along, Maya," he said with a charming smile that didn't match the warning in his eyes. "Luca, what are you doing?" I hissed. "Eating lunch with my stepsister. That's allowed, isn't it?" Maya gathered her things and left, shooting me an apologetic look.

My mom remarried a few months ago, and now there's this new guy in the house, Alex. He's not bad-looking for someone in his forties. Tall, with broad shoulders from whatever gym routine he sticks to, and this deep voice that rumbles when he says good morning, but he's my stepdad now, which makes everything weird. Mom's head over heels for him, always gushing about how stable and charming he is. Me? I try to keep my distance, and we barely talk beyond polite chit-chat at dinner.

To her shock, Mother only sighed. "If it weren't for fear of gossip, I never would've acknowledged her. Honestly, children raised in the countryside always turn out sharp-tongued and ungrateful." That night, Phoebe smashed countless things in her rage. Our stepdad refused to tolerate her any longer. In the end, it was Grandpa—braving the heavy rain on his rickety tricycle—who came to take her back.
