The husband adored his wife, the wife protected her child like she was the most valuable treasure in the world, and the daughter grew up believing she was the luckiest girl alive because she was surrounded by love, power, and wealth.” “But one day,” she said, her voice lowering, “that perfect little world collapsed overnight.” She stopped pacing and turned to face me directly. “You see, that family was not ordinary.

Come back with Dante. Let's all live together as a family. Have another big healthy boy for Dante. We give you our word on the Valenti family name that he won't act like that again." I spoke immediately. "Sorry. We never had a wedding or registered our marriage. At best, I'm your son's ex-girlfriend. As for coming back to be a maid? I can't do that."

"If that's the case then I can't make you happy either. I'm the troublesome daughter of the Harlows, remember? All I will bring you is bad luck and frustration." "Heather..." "That's what my family says about me but what do you think about that?" "You're not like that at all," he quickly answered, almost offended at the assumptions that I was saying about myself. "And what makes you so sure? You don't know me that well either." I looked up to meet his eyes.

Then, on my 17th birthday, she jumped off a building after being taunt

But now. Jade finally looked up directly at Sophie, then toward Clara, and then toward the others. The entire family exploded into laughter. Emily laughed so hard she nearly doubled over. Lucas had to hold his stomach. Even Sophie started laughing despite not fully understanding why. Jade stared at all of them for several seconds before calmly returning his attention to his phone. The expression on his face clearly said that he regretted every decision that had led him to becoming part of this family though he created the so-called family.

This can’t be him. This can’t be the end. We were happy…we…were…finally—-gonna be a family.

It took three days to lose that hope. By the time the engagement was announced, the family had already turned it into fact. That night, while the celebration was still going on downstairs, I passed the small bar off the library and heard Dante speaking to a few men from the family. At first, I only caught my name. Then I heard the rest. "At first, I thought she was different," he said. "But if she had a hand in what happened that night, then this is just me cleaning up a mess."
