"Please, stop pushing. I can't take this anymore." The concert venue is packed tight. A man behind me keeps pressing into my backside. I'm wearing a mini skirt today with a thong underneath, and it only makes the situation worse. He lifts my skirt and presses himself against my hips. As the atmosphere heats up, someone in front of me slams into me, and I stumble back a step. My body stiffens as I feel like something just slid inside me.

After losing his eldest son Ethan, Kane Morgan, founder of Vertex Capital, became utterly disillusioned, retreated from the spotlight, and began driving for a ride-hailing service to quietly watch over his younger son Liam. During a carjacking on a rainy night, his former subordinate Victor appeared, revealing that Kane still commanded a vast, hidden power. Liam threw a welcome party for his beloved Aurora, only to be humiliated by Damian and his gang. He also stumbled upon his late brother’s fiancée Vanessa having an affair with Damian. Shortly after, Liam was kidnapped and taken to a warehouse, where he learned his brother’s death was noaccident — he had been deliberately tortured and murdered by Damian. Damian then set up a cruel gambling game to torment Liam and imprisoned Aurora. At the critical moment, Kane smashed through the door and overpowered everyone with his formidable strength. Victor arrived and bowed in submission, and only then did Damian realize the taxi driver was a top-tier capital magnate. Kane declared his revenge, returned to Vertex Capital, and used his wealth and connections to launch an all-out assault on the O’Hara family’s business empire. Victor severely punished his own son Taylor, while Vanessa’s repentance proved futile. After enduring these trials, Liam reconciled with his father, and together they managed the conglomerate. He and Aurora fell deeply in love, and the O’Hara Group ultimately collapsed completely.

When my parents divorced, their lawyers drafted a custody agreement. My sister and I would live with separate parents, then switch homes at the start of every school year. The handoff happened every August at La Serata, the Moretti family's restaurant. Every year, my parents fought over who got more time with Sofia. "Come to St. Barts with me for Thanksgiving," Mom coaxed. Dad's face hardened. "Sofia is with me this year. She spends the holidays with me." Mom pulled up her calendar. "You dumped her on me for nineteen extra days last year. I get those days back. Every single one." "Two of those days were school overnights. They don't count." Sofia rested her chin on one hand and gave them the helpless smile of a princess burdened by too much devotion. "If only there were two of me." Half an hour later, my parents compromised by booking the trip together. Only then did Sofia glance my way. "What about Emilia?" Dad picked up his water and looked past me. "She's not my responsibility this year." Mom finally met my eyes. "The hotel group closes an acquisition next month. I don't have time for this. St. Gabriel still has rooms in the senior dorm. You'll board there." They had just counted every hour Sofia had spent away from them. When it came to me, they could hand off an entire year without blinking. Under the table, I smoothed the napkin I had crushed in my fist. My phone lit up. [Ms. Harper: Your record puts several top East Coast schools within reach. Westbridge Institute's research scholarship would also be a great fit. Which one is your first choice?] I looked at California on the other side of the map and typed my answer. [Westbridge.] Three thousand miles ought to be far enough to leave my family for good.
