She kicks him under the table, the sound echoing in the dining room. He howls as if he’s being murdered.
Oh, God. What the hell am I supposed to do now? Run? No, that would be rude. Hide under the table? That’d be crazy.
Two pairs of eyes watch me closely. Hazel eyes and midnight eyes.
That’s why both Knox and Teal looked so familiar when I first met them — or met them again.
“I’m sorry for what Ma did. I-I’m so sorry.”
“Finally.” Knox taps his chest. “I was hurt when you didn’t remember me. It hit me right in the tiny white space in my heart.”
“Your apology means shit to me,” Teal speaks casually as she sips her coffee. “It doesn’t...

She has a weird way of expressing herself. Okay, now, T. Repeat that after thinking about the words.”
“Right. Okay.” She lifts her head, a crease etching between her brows. “I meant you don’t need to apologise for something you didn’t do.”
“See?” Knox grins. “That wasn’t too hard, was it?” Teal isn’t focused on him, though. Her entire attention falls on me and I feel like a ...

“She’s kidding… mostly.”
“Because you’re not her. I’m going to be honest, the day of the pool’s incident, I was the one who lifted you when you fell to your knees in the car park. I think you were so out of it, you didn’t notice me. I was also so confused, thinking that woman had returned. Imagine my bloody shock! So anyway, I followed you and I found you floating in that pool.”
“No. Thank you. Ted was the first toy Teal and I received. Dad says it was your favourite. Children don’t give their favourite toys to anyone. Hell, I don’t give away my things now either.”
“It was something for both of us. T and I were the kind of children who weren’t allowed hope, but you gave it to us in the form of Ted.”
“We took great care of it, by the way.”
“Are you and Teal s...

Dad is the only father we had.”
“Did he take you in since the basement incident?” He nods. “We used to live in a separate home with Agnus, but Dad came by all the time. After the fire, we moved in with him.”
“He was still Dad even while he was sleeping.”
“Hey, don’t go all sappy on me. He’s my dad, too.” Challenge sparks in his eyes. “And I’m his favourite.”
When Dad told him he can’t attend a fundraiser at a duke’s house with that shirt, Knox rolled his eyes and buttoned his jacket. I laughed so hard when he said,
“You just insulted the die-hard metal fans. Happy, Dad?”
I swear Knox and Dad have the strangest, most entertaining interactions ever. They’re so different and yet, they’re in tune. Knox’s competitive streak about being Dad’s favourite is so e...

When she came down the stairs wearing a denim skirt and a T-shirt with ‘Annoyed’ written across her breasts, Dad and Agnus motioned for her to go back upstairs, put on a dress, and remove the gothic makeup.
Cute is an understatement. She really has pinchable cheeks.
Teal and I interlace our arms with Dad’s as we take the large stairs leading to the Rhodes’ mansion.
“Welcome to the Rhodes Estate, Mr Steel & Mr Van Doren.” Knox points at himself. “That would be me.”
That’s impressive. Although I would rather not meet any jaguars in real life.
“These are my children, Elsa, Knox, and Teal.”
“This is my cousin Aaron Rhodes…” Tristan drifts off when he searches on either side of him but finds no one. “Or was. He’s probably playing the invisibility game.”
I like this Aaron Rhodes. Can I play the invisibility game with him?
‘Yes, welcome to my house, but I’ll rip your heart out if you break anything.’
The three of us shake our heads in sync. “Make yourselves at home.” And with that, he disappears with Dad in the crowd.
“Okay, time to raid the food.” Knox rubs his hands together. “Be right back.” He takes two steps then stops. “Scratch that. I won’t be right back.”
Teal and I are left alone together. Awkward.
“I thought that was you, Ellie!” I’m attacked by a hug from behind. Before I know it, I’m lifted off the ground and spun around. I laugh as Ronan finally puts me back onto my feet.
“Don’t give me that, petit traitre.”
“How can you disappear on me like that? I’m having withdrawals...

Ronan is in dark-blue, Cole is in black, and Xander is in dark-brown. With their hair styled, it’s like they’re out for a fashion show.
The three of them wouldn’t be here without Aiden. He must be hiding somewhere biding his time to come out and attack.
“And who is this?” Ronan drawls in Teal’s direction. “Teal.” I motion at her. “This is Ronan, Cole, and Xander from school.”
“Bonsoir, ma belle.” Ronan devours her with his eyes, openly, with no shame. “This means we’ll be seeing a lot of you.”
“No,” Ronan clutches his heart dramatically, closing in on her. “I might die if I don’t see you again.”
“Then die.” Teal turns around and heads in Knox’s direction without a glance back.
