This time, Kyla felt like she had completely disappeared–like she was nothing more than thin air.
She locked herself in the bathroom, biting her lip until it hurt, her eyes brimming with tears.
“Mom… even you’ve changed. To you, I’m nothing more than Tilda’s stand–in!”
“You’re just happy Tilda didn’t end up as someone else’s adopted daughter. You’re so happy you’ve forgotten I even exist!”
The only person who could give Kyla comfort now was Tobias.
She sent him the news and waited for his reply.
Soon, a message came.
“Don’t overthink it, Kyla. You did your part. Whatever happens next isn’t on you.”
“Tobias, my heart hurts so much.”
She typed the words, ready to pour her feelings out to the man she loved.
But then her fingers trembled.
She quickly deleted the message.
She couldn’t let Tobias know just how fragile her place at home was, completely overshadowed by Tilda.
If he knew, it would ruin everything between them.
After all, their relationship had started out of mutual benefit–they were using each other. Tobias only cared because she was the Jensons‘ most pampered heiress.
“Alright. I get it,” she finally typed back.
That evening, everyone was set to meet for dinner at Sky Dining.
Blair and Russell shared some cake and tea that Kayden had baked for them. It gave them just enough energy before heading upstairs for a nap.
At the company, Wade was holding things down. They texted him the plan to meet for dinner

Out on the balcony, Darell lit a cigarette. He didn’t smoke often, but tonight he took a long drag, rubbing his aching temples.
“Smoking’s bad for you, Darell.”
Justin walked out to join him.
“I know. But right now, this is the only thing that makes me feel a little better.”
Darell gave a bitter smile, took another deep breath of smoke, and then crushed the cigarette
out.
Suddenly, his expression twisted in pain. He clutched his head with one hand.
“Darell, what’s wrong? Is it your head? Didn’t sleep last night?”
“It’s nothing.”
Darell shook his head.
What did that mean? After that dream, what could have happened?
Why would both Tilda and the rest of the family be full of regret?
