They glanced at him once before going back to eating the fried pieces of meat on their plates. His stomach rumbled looking at the delicious food.

She felt Jubi slide next to her to hug her sideways. The evening Jubi had shared her secrets, Royal and Imani had filled her in on who Famke was to Precious. Unsurprisingly, she was even more attached to Famke now. Jubi nudged her, “I thought it was dumb idea two days ago. Now it makes sense,” she whispered and kissed her cheek. “Are you okay?”

Too controlled. Like two men smiling through clenched teeth. Like enemies pretending to be brothers. The poolside was quiet. Calm. Exactly what I needed. I placed my book, my phone, and a small plate of snacks on the table before settling into the chair. For a moment, everything felt normal. Then I heard movement. Water shifting. I turned. And froze. Maxwell. Stepping out of the pool. Water traced down his body in slow lines, catching the morning light. His shoulders, his chest, the sharp definition of his muscles—

He slammed his fist on the floor, then hurled the file against the wall. Papers scattered, flying like shrapnel. He muttered: "What have I done to Elara all these years?" He got up from the floor, grabbed the scattered file, and rushed downstairs, his eyes burning red. Downstairs in the dining room, the Vane couple were enjoying an exquisite French dinner. "Serena's color has been good lately, seems like that last therapy session was effective." "It's just that that damn girl Elara, who knows where she ran off to. Serena needs her for her routine check-up next month..."
