As they walked, Caleb asked quietly, “They didn’t give you a hard time, did they?” “No. They were practically falling over themselves to flatter me,” Ella said. “Ever since they found out about Mom and Dad’s status, Piper has been trying every trick to get close to us. I’m just afraid the harder she tries, the more it will hurt Mom and Dad.” “It won’t,” Caleb said firmly. “Mom and Dad are soft-hearted, but they know right from wrong. They understand what matters.”

"Because adequate children from successful families still need to maintain social position. Because mediocre heirs can still serve useful functions in family business operations. Because we love you and want you to have the best possible life, even if that life requires artificial enhancement."

They had systematically cheated on his behalf not because they believed in his potential, but because they believed he needed protection from his own limitations. "And Moonrise Academy?" "Will teach you to appreciate the advantages we've provided by showing you how you perform without them," Margaret said

"How is Kaia supposed to survive school like this? I don't mind you making her do good deeds, but kids her age are sensitive. And making her collect receipts..." Mom cut him off. "What do you know? I'm toughening her up. People who do good deeds shouldn't care about praise. Helping others isn't about getting something back. "But look at her. She runs off, starts dating, then calls saying she's going to have some man's baby! "Stay out of it. I need to set her straight." Dad finally let out a defeated sigh, shook his head, and went back to his room. Tears ran down my face. My chest hurt so much I could barely breathe.

No one did. “My baby is all grown up and going back to university,” Dad said with glassy eyes, pressing a fat envelope into my hand. “Here is a little money for your upkeep, Pumpkin. Trust me, I will send you more.” “Thank you, Dad,” I beamed, hugging him. “I want you to focus on your studies and ignore those bullies, especially that arrogant Alpha or those white he-wolves in general,” Mom added, her voice serious. “They don't like you. They just like the idea of you and want to get under your skirt and use you."

“Her father is a reasonable man. For now avoid being alone with her. She and Darrick are headed back to Atlanta now. Jared and Crystal are going to follow in a few. Crystal and I agree she is out of line. We are also worried about her turning on Kata and Camille.” Nick rubs is face hard. “Why, oh, why does this family attract boil the bunny psycho females?” “I don’t get the reference,” I tell Nick who gives Mom a sheepish smile. “Your father let you watch that movie didn’t he?” Mom asks Nick and he nods. “The things I have allowed over the years in the name of family bonding. Don’t let my grandchildren watch it.” Nick shrugs and turns his full attention back to me. The next day Nick

For the first time, she felt like someone truly understood her. "My parents think I’m a failure too," Belle admitted hesitantly. "They say I talk too much, that I’m too loud." Eva chuckled softly, the sound light but tinged with bitterness. "There’s nothing wrong with talking a lot. It builds character and makes you approachable. But I know how high-society parents think. They want their daughters to be perfect: demure, obedient, and silent. It’s an outdated, ridiculous expectation." Her gaze fell towards the window as she watched the white clouds float across the fading blue sky. Sunset is approaching soon.

Until they had become a certain age, neither one of them had really understood just how weird their lives were, but by then they were used to it and there was no turning back. "Because, when all your parents care about is being the perfect church members, they will do anything. I'm sure this man came to my parents, told them that he could make them look better in the eyes of the church, probably offered them some money, and they signed on the dotted line. When all you want to do is look good for other people, it doesn't seem to matter what you do to accomplish that. Our parents alienated two children, and neither one of us know what's actually happened to them, but I have a bad feeling that

She said, “It is rather ridiculous to me that she is even pushing that. She wants me in an office like the rest of her kids. My dad doesn’t really care what I choose now. He thinks college is a waste of time and money. He isn’t even paying for it, so I don’t understand where that is coming from. They keep going at each other, trying to rule me, and seemingly ignore the rest of the kids. My mother yelled at my father yesterday, saying he should take me because she doesn’t want me anymore. I am just too much work.” “Wow,” Maverick said as he looked at her. He didn’t know what to say. The idea that her parents had weaponized her and were ignoring the other kids in the family was beyond him. Daw

Mia and Alex's mom, who was a famous pop singer with millions of fans, announced her children's admission and received an influx of gifts, including school supplies, which they shared with us. After two weeks of planning, we traveled with our cousins, while our moms stayed behind with Stella, who wept sorely. Our dads accompanied us to the academy. At the airport, Mom's eyes locked onto mine, and she whispered, "Please, sweetie, be careful with your powers. Don't levitate in school. I know it's hard, but try to suppress it, just until you're in a safe space. You don't want to scare anyone or draw attention to yourself."

"You see your mum was never allowed to do things with her mates. My late wife and I made sure to get whatever she wanted for her so that she won't crave going out with other kids. But sadly she wanted more." FLASHBACK "Dad, can I have a sleepover at Delinda's house?" Phoebe asked. She stared at her dad hopefully. Silently praying that he will let her go this time. All her life, she was never allowed to do what every normal kid does. Her parents would always tell her that she was the heiress of the Marks empire and thus, she shouldn't involve herself with other kids. "You know what my reply would be, princess," Clement replied. Barely paying any attention to her.
