❝He's my brother, but I don't remember him❞
Adelynn Trace didn't have an ordinary past like any other 15-year-old. She had to live with her brothers when she was 12 and gradually find all their secrets. Deep, dark underlying secrets. After a lot of...

I annihilated the cold silent ambiance of the breakfast area with a clanking sound by dropping my fork on the table. All the 3 pairs turned towards me, the 3 people included Ryer, River, Ander. I tried to pretend as if nothing happened but with everyone staring at me it was inevitable.
"Sorry..." I whispered bashfully
Ryder and River resumed their conversation, I couldn't make out what they were talking but they seemed serious.
"Are you okay?" Ander who was sitting beside me asked while having a chunk of his raspberry pancake "You seem really sleepy"
"No, I'm fine" I lied, I barely slept last night
Ryder didn't really find anything last night, he assumed I was leaning in just for fun like kids do. He told me to go to my room and sleep because it was apparently "too late for me to stay awake". I swear he thinks I'm a five-year-old. After which, I didn't really sleep, I just kept stressing over the fact that I still had Darren's notebook.

"Are you sure about that?" Ander asked again
"Yeah," I stated, continuing to have the last piece of waffle left on my plate
I was finished with my breakfast when Ryder's phone ringed, Ander and I simultaneously looked at him but we turned away when he glanced at us before picking up the phone.
"Yes?" he answered in a heartless voice
I pretended I wasn't listening and continued to eat whatever was left on my plate which was just bits and crumbs
Ryder patiently kept listening to whatever the person on the other side was telling for a few moments and then replied "Ok" in the same voice
And with that both Ryder and River left, leaving me and Ander alone in the mansion. I was happy for the fact that now I could easily keep Darren's notebook back.

"What the hell, I don't wanna play this game you win every time," I said as I lost again
I was in Ander's room with Ander, playing another video game he showed me
Ander chuckled as a response "Do you wanna try another game"
"No, I am so done with video games," I said with a bit of sternness
"C'mon don't give up"
"I lost 8th time in a row!" I rolled my eyes and he mumbled as a response
We kept conversing on the same topic up till I accidentally saw a picture on the floor
