Worst of all, she couldn't tell anyone about the fights with her aunt, afraid that speaking up would mean being taken away.
One evening, after another tense argument with Marcus, Taelyn stormed outside, needing air. But she wasn't alone. Her aunt was waiting.

Taelyn returned home later that night, shaken but silent. She put on her usual smile, acting like everything was fine.
"You okay?" Marcus asked.
She hesitated, then nodded. "Yeah, just tired."
But secrets don't stay hidden forever. Between Leo's meddling, Adam's suspicions, and her own struggles, it was only a matter of time before everything unraveled.
