It was as it her body was collapsing, about to fall ani never get up again.
When Deck framed the truth, his pupils contracted slurply.
His miles wens stift, and his breath grew heavier with pain.
It had been his enders that sear those bosdyguards in stopthent

The pain was slow and blunt, like a doll krile conting through his flesh and bones, piece by pirer,
it shredded him apart
What he had made Canais endure in the past was now being reflected back at luan
An eye for an eye, only the pain was sharper, deeper, more unbearable than anything Cassius hand felt,

Gemma watched them coldly, her gate wy,
She didn’t need to pile on. She had already done inaire than enough
Shawn, however, couldn’t help but speak tips.
“Cass lost his mont’s dog, her diamond tiara, Isis college dreams, his company shares, his health… Williamn! All he lost weis a legt Not enmight Not nearly enough
Genna froze for a moment.
The cold in her eyes was replaced by a flicker of pity,
Shawn wasn’t done.
“Don’t worry, though. We’ve got plenty of time. We take it slow.”
Derick pressed his lund to his chest, his grip tight as the words from Slowen echoed in his mind.

“Someone’s passed out!”
“Get help now!”
The scene descended into chaos.
Gemma and the others stepped back, giving them s

“Haha, that was satisfying.” Shawn chuckled.
“The old man’s face is turning purple ”
He snapped his fingers and twirled around in celebration.
He’s clearly thrilled
Cassius, on the other hand, looked as unaffected as ever
It was like it didn’t matter one bit what happened to the family
“Cass, Shawn said. “Now that Raven’s fired you, we don’t need to hold back, night?”
Cassius barely glanced at him, his voice calm, “Do whatever you want.”
Slawn grinned wider, practically hopping with excitement,
” take care of it right now
Gemma stayed silent.
But inside, she understood.
If Raven’s family hadn’t gone too far, Shawn wouldn’t be this giddy.
Cassius must’ve had a hell of a time before.
“The weather’s nice. Wanna ride the Ferris wheel!”
she asked, pointing to the amusement park in the distance
The Ferris wheel was turning slowly, its bright lights a beacon in the setting sun
“That’s the ‘City’s Eye. I’ve heard that if you go to the top, you can leave the past behind and start fresh.”
Shawn raised an eyebrow. “Is that true! I’ve never heard of that.”
Gemma didn’t respond to him, just gave Cassius a light tap on the arm. “Wanna try it!”
Cassius looked toward the Ferris wheel.
It looked like another sun.
It looked like it could really give someone a second chance ar life.
*Alright.”
His eyelashes fluttering as a brief flicker of light danced in his eyes.
Meanwhile, Marcus arrived at the hospital for a check–up, and, as luck would have it. Margaret was there for hers too.
Mabel was there with Alyah, wanting quietly by the side.
It was an unexpected meeting.
“Max, what’s wrong!”
Margaret noticed Marcus’s pale face and immediately grew concrmed.
“Dad”
Algah had lost a lot of weighs recently, his features becoming sharper, looking more like Gemina
Marcus’s heart skipped a bear when he saw his son. He bent down and pulled Alijah into his arms.
It was rare for Jum to hold his son like this.
Alijah seemed a little stunned by is.
He didn’t say much, just wanted to soak in the moment, feeling a little spoiled by the sudden affection.
He brushed it off to keep Margaret from worrying,
“It’s just one of my assistams got hurt, and I’m visiting a friend here.”
Margaret let out a relieved sigh.
“Thank goodness.”
“Dad, can we go out to play?”
Alyah didn’t seem keen on spending more time with Margaret.

His days had been filled with nothing but lessons from a tutor
Everything had to be on a schedule, meals and naps at specific times.
He was over it.
He’d rather go to kindergarten
But his grandmother had told him the kids there were uncouth and he shouldn’t hang out with them.
When Alish mentioned Noals went to Lusdergarten
His grandmother slapped him and told him not to talk back
He still hadn’t forgiven her.
From now on, he wanted to be with his dad, to go home with him.
“Ali be good. Your dad’s busy.” Mabel med to pull him away, but Alijah dodged her quickly.
Mabel gave a resigned smile, though her heart wasn’t in it
⠀ “Max, the kid just misses you. Encourage Jumalatle. He still has piano class later.”
“I don’t want plano cost I want to be with Dad!” Alijah shouted, causing a scene, with people in the hospital turning to itire
Margaret’s face darkened, clearly embarrassed.
“All do you need reminding of the family rules?”
Just hearing those words made Alijah Iv shiver.
He chung to Marcus even tighter.
Marcus didn’t notice his son’s reaction. He was 100
If he took Alijah to the hospital…
was too deep in thought.
Gemma might refuse to see him, but she wouldn’t be able to stand seeing her son wait with him.
“Alright, let’s go.”
He glanced at his mother. “You go ahead with your check–up. I’ve got things to do, so I’ll catch up with you later.”
Mabel’s worry was obvious. Marcus didn’t give her another look! “Mix…….”
“You stay with my mother.”
Marcus had planned to break up with her, but he knew that if he did, Mabel would just keep pestering him
He really didn’t have the time to deal with that right now.
Better to want a little longer.
So he just took Alijah and left.
Mabel had been released by Raven’s family, but she knew she was still vulnerable.
If Marcus couldn’t protect her, she’d need to find a new ally.
Out of nowhere.
she remembered the way Derick had looked at her the other day, his gaze filled with meaning
