THE AUCTION
CHAPTER 101– THE AUCTION The black limousine glided smoothly along the wide city streets, the hum of its engine blending with the pulse of nightlife outside. Inside, the air was thick with tension. Mr. Arizona sat rigid in the front seat, tapping the polished wood trim with a manicured hand, while Mrs. Arizona fussed over every detail of the girls’ appearance.“Girls, we need to move faster,” Mr. Arizona barked, voice sharp enough to make Joyce flinch. “Lola, stay close. Joyce… straighten your back. You walk like a storm cloud.”She tugged at her gown, the silk tight against her shoulders, and forced herself to sit taller.“Daddy,” Lola cooed, leaning into him with a grin that melted his sharp edges. “We’re almost there. Don’t worry. I’ll make you proud.”Mr. Arizona’s frown softened as his gaze lingered on Lola. Joyce clenched her fists in her lap, pretending not to notice.Mrs. Arizona clicked her heels and adjusted the diamond brooch at her neck. “Joyce, darling, keep your hair do
THE MAN IN THE IVORY SUIT
CHAPTER 102 – THE MAN IN THE IVORY SUITThe man’s voice came from behind her, smooth but commanding—like someone used to being listened to, not questioned.“Well, well,” he drawled, his tone heavy with arrogance. “If it isn’t one of the Arizona daughters. You people always know how to make an entrance.”Joyce turned slowly, frown already forming. The man before her was dressed in a fitted ivory suit, the kind that dared attention. His posture screamed confidence—shoulders relaxed, chin slightly lifted, eyes glinting with a kind of lazy superiority. He didn’t look at her like a person. He looked at her like property.“Excuse me?” Joyce asked flatly.He smiled, slow and smug. “No need to look so defensive. I was only complimenting you.” His gaze swept over her gown, uninvited. “You clean up better than I expected.”Her spine stiffened. “You expected something?”“Of course,” he said, unfazed. “I know your family. Everyone does. Arizona Investments practically bleeds through this city. Yo
THE NECKLACE
CHAPTER 103 – THE NECKLACEThe auction hall glimmered like something out of a dream.Rows of crystal chandeliers hung above, scattering light across velvet seats and polished marble floors. The air smelled of perfume, champagne, and quiet competition — that delicate mix of wealth and vanity that made everyone smile a little too much.Joyce sat three rows from the front, her clutch resting neatly on her lap, her posture straight but tired. The gown she wore shimmered softly in the light, silver-gray silk that caught every movement. Around her, conversations fluttered like wings — laughter, whispers, and the sound of glasses touching crystal.To her left, Mrs. Arizona was leaning in to whisper something to her husband. And beside them, Lola — her sister — lounged like she’d been born to sit under chandeliers. Her dress was deep red, off the shoulder, her skin glowing under the gold light. She looked completely at ease, like she was part of the furniture, expensive and admired.The aucti
THE SCANDAL
CHAPTER 104 – THE SCANDALThe room froze for half a heartbeat.A few heads turned, curious eyes darting toward the table where the Arizona sisters sat locked in silence. Joyce’s voice still hung in the air — soft but sharp enough to cut glass. No, bitch, it’s mine.Lola’s lips parted in disbelief. Her smile faltered for the first time all evening. “What did you just say?”Joyce didn’t move. She just stared up at her sister, her hand still resting on the velvet box between them. The tension in her shoulders trembled like a pulled wire.“You heard me,” Joyce said quietly. “Let go.”A ripple of whispers began to rise around them — subtle at first, like the sound of silk rustling. Guests pretending not to watch, eyes glancing sideways over the rims of champagne glasses.Lola leaned closer, her expression changing from shock to fury. “You’re embarrassing yourself,” she hissed under her breath. “Let go of it before people start talking.”“They already are,” Joyce said, her tone colder now.
ASHES OF A SISTER
CHAPTER 105 – ASHES OF A SISTER The limousine ride home felt like a coffin on wheels.No one spoke for several long minutes. Only the faint hum of the engine and the occasional flicker of city lights through the tinted windows filled the silence. The air was heavy — thick with the stench of embarrassment, perfume, and something sour that clung to every breath.Joyce sat pressed against the window, her reflection trembling in the glass. Her own eyes looked foreign — wide, tired, angry. The velvet box lay unopened in her lap, her fingers tight around it like it was the last piece of herself she could still protect. Lola sat opposite her, head tilted away, the soft rustle of tissue breaking the quiet. Every few seconds, she sniffed quietly — not because she was crying, but because she wanted to sound like the victim.Mrs. Arizona’s diamond earrings quivered as she adjusted them, her face pale but her voice sharp as a blade. “I cannot believe what you did tonight.”Joyce turned slowly, m
THE PICK UP
CHAPTER 106 – THE PICKUPKelvin’s day had been slow, heavy in a way he couldn’t quite shake off.He spent the morning buried in work — or at least pretending to. The emails were the same, the calls just noise in the background. He replied to messages without reading half of them. The coffee on his desk went cold twice. It was easier to stay busy than to think about how quiet the house had become lately.Sometimes he could almost hear the echo of Mia’s laughter in the hall, or the faint sound of cartoons still running from the night before. But when he looked up, there was nothing. Just silence. The kind that stretched too far and too long.By two thirty, he was already in his car. Picking Mia up was the only part of his day that still felt like something worth looking forward to. He liked the moment she spotted him through the gate — that burst of energy, that little wave that made everything else fade away. She’d run toward him with her backpack half open, one shoe untied, eyes brigh
HER HOME NOW
CHAPTER 107 – HER HOME NOWKelvin didn’t remember starting the car.He didn’t remember reversing out of the school parking lot, or the moment he checked his mirrors, or even the turn onto the open road. Everything between the school gate and the highway melted into a blur he couldn’t fully piece together. His mind kept replaying the guard’s words in a loop—Her mother… her mother picked her up… her mother took her home.Each repetition stabbed deeper.The city blurred past him—a mix of orange sun trails, dust in the air, people crossing, hawkers slapping palms on windows—but Kelvin barely saw any of it. His pulse kept pounding loud enough to drown traffic noise. His grip on the steering wheel tightened until the leather bit into his palms.He didn’t bother calling her.He didn’t bother thinking of other possibilities.If she had Mia… then there was only one place she would take her.Diana’s house.He turned into her estate with a sharp swing that made the tires screech. The security m
TAKE HIM AWAY
CHAPTER 108 – TAKE HIM AWAYThe room went still.Kelvin’s heartbeat kicked loud against his ribs as Diana’s words hung in the air like smoke. This is her home now. It echoed in his head, warping everything else—the lights, the furniture, even the air between them. He didn’t move. He didn’t blink. He just stared at her, stunned, like she’d slapped him with something heavier than her voice.“Diana,” he said finally, his voice low, warning, tired. “Don’t play games with me.”“Who’s playing?” she shot back, stepping closer. Her chin angled up, her eyes sharp as glass. “I’m telling you the truth. She’s staying here.”Kelvin took a slow breath, tried to anchor himself. “You don’t get to decide that on your own. She has a home with me.”“And she has a home with me,” Diana snapped. “But unlike you, I’m actually giving her stability.”Kelvin’s jaw flexed. “Stability? You took her from school without telling me—”“I took my daughter,” she cut in. “Not a stranger’s child. Mine.”Mia looked betwe
SHE THREW ME OUT
CHAPTER 109 – SHE THREW ME OUTKelvin barely had time to inhale before the first man moved.A thick arm clamped around his shoulder from behind, yanking him backward with the force of someone who didn’t see him as a person—just an obstacle to remove. His balance faltered, shoes scraping against the polished floor.“Get your hands off me!” Kelvin snapped, twisting, but the second man was already there, grabbing his other arm, pinning him like steel brackets locking into place.“Don’t make this harder,” the man muttered—calm, almost bored.Kelvin’s pulse roared in his ears.He jerked forward, fighting against their grip. “Diana! Call them off!”She didn’t move.Didn’t speak.Didn’t even blink.Only her fingers stroked Mia’s hair, slow, rhythmic, almost absent.“Mommy…?” Mia whimpered, clutching tighter at Diana’s dress.Kelvin’s heart cracked at the sound. “Mia, baby, it’s okay—Daddy’s right here—”Harry stepped between them as if sealing off the connection entirely. “That’s enough of t
THE BACK BLOODLINE
CHAPTER 110 – THE BLACK BLOODLINEThe door opened so slowly it was almost theatrical—like something out of a crime movie where trouble didn’t knock, it just walked in wearing expensive shoes and a face full of secrets.Kelvin’s breath hitched.Four men stepped out.Not rushed.Not startled.Not confused.No—these men moved like they owned the ground they walked on.The first one was familiar, painfully familiar—broad shoulders, scar on his jaw, the kind of presence that made your instincts rise before your mind even caught up.Patrick.Kelvin’s jaw clenched. If rage had a face, it would look like his right now. Patrick. The same Patrick who sent men to beat him up—until he saw the birthmark on Kelvin’s chest and suddenly changed his mind. The memory hit like a punch he never fully recovered from.Behind Patrick, two other men emerged—both tall, both built like human refrigerators with legs. They had that “bouncer energy,” the type who didn’t need to talk to prove a point. One glance a
