SUMMER.

The weight of the night clung to me like a baby tied to me with a red string, even though the morning was already breaking. The crisis had passed, the doctors said he would survive, but for me, the plan had almost unraveled completely. If Eloise hadn’t shown up, if she hadn’t pushed for more tests, if she hadn’t stayed calm and calculated–it would have been over. I would have been standing here, watching the patriarch die by my hand.

But it didn’t end that way.

I sat by the edge of my bed, fingers clenched tightly into the sheets, trying to control the surge of rage that still bubbled beneath my skin. I had been so close–so close to shattering everything. And yet, I was left here, empty–handed, waiting for the next chance.

I pulled my phone from the side table and stared at it, as if it held the answers I needed. And then it rang–her name flashing on the screen.

My mother. The only person who understood what I carried inside me. The only person who knew what it felt like to be cast out by a family that should have kept us.

I answered before it could ring again.

“Summer,” she said, her voice low, cautious, but carrying a sharp edge. “I heard what happened. Are you all right?”

I bit down on the rising heat inside me, forcing my voice to stay even. “I’m fine, Mom. But I was so close–I had the perfect chance, and then Eloise ruined it.”

“Summer,” my mother’s voice dropped even lower, filled with a warning that made my stomach twist. “You have to be careful. You almost lost everything. If you rush again, you won’t get another chance.”

I pressed the phone closer, feeling my jaw tighten. “I can’t wait, Mom. This family has always stood in my way. If I don’t act now, they’ll crush me forever.”

Her silence was long on the other end. I could almost see her face–drawn, worried–like she always got when I rushed too far, too fast. “Summer, listen to me. The people around you may seem foolish, but they’re not. They see everything you do. You can’t let this slip again. Wait. Plan carefully.”

I clenched my fist, my nails digging into my palm. “I don’t have time for waiting. They took everything from us. I won’t let them win again.”

“Summer,” my mother warned, her voice tightening. “You think Eloise is weak because she

I scoffed, shaking my head as if she couldn’t see the truth. But I knew better. I couldn’t dismiss Eloise like I used to. She was the one person who might ruin every step I took.

“I don’t care,” I spat, my voice sharp. “They ruined us once. I won’t let them stand in my way again.”

My mother sighed, a heavy sound that spoke of battles she once fought and lost. “You have so much fire, Summer, but fire burns the hand that holds it. You need to be smart. Wait a few weeks. Then we strike.”

I ground my teeth together, feeling that familiar urge to push ahead. But for once, just for a moment, I held back. I had been reckless before and I couldn’t afford another failure.

Still, the hatred in me didn’t fade. It burned like a constant ache, a reminder of everything that was stolen from me. I hated Eloise with a passion that made my skin crawl. Every time I looked at her, I saw the life I was supposed to have, the future I could have ruled.

This family–this family that cast me and my mother out, that let us scrape by on scraps- would never see another day of peace if I had a say. I would make sure of it.

After the call, I walked to the window and looked out over the garden, watching the first light touch the hedges. The world outside was calm, but inside, I was a storm. The next move had to be perfect. I couldn’t let anyone see it coming

I grabbed my bag, heading toward the door. But this time, I paused. I had to slow down. I needed to bide my time. If I moved rashly again it could all fall apart. And I couldn’t risk that.

I hated the fact that i had ti be extra cautious because it that bitch, Eloise has become a constant thorn in my side and it was starting to annoy the hell out of me. I needed to do something about it but those damn bodyguards wouldn’t leave her alone. She was in a position of powerful that had my hands tied. I needed to plan something and destroy everybody in this family.

They chased my mother away when she needed them the most, and now they looked like they were fucking angels. I could not wait ti see their faces when they knew about the shit i had planned for them. Especially that Julian and Antoine that chose me over their real sister.

The pain of that alone would make them go crazy, i needed away to keep Eloise away from this house, something struck in my mind suddenly. How the hell did she know that the old hag was poisoned? Even the doctors didn’t know My mind started flashing back ti everything. How she healed people at the Luna rual effortlessly. Fuck.
