The boys are back. And they're out for revenge.

"ANYONE BUT HER." Those are the few of the final words dad had said before he hung up today.
"You can fuck anyone Caleb, you can parade anyone around, but not her. Anyone but the girl that ruined this family."
"She ruined me." I clear up, of course dad and moms public image suffered but out everyone she hurt me. Mom liked her, Elisé adored her and I - I really liked her.
Dad never met Valé, not to my knowledge at least. He doesn't meet anyone that means anything to any of us. He's secluded himself to business partners, mom, and some family members. Other than that, he's a façade of a father he isn't.
"And you are nothing without us. So, it's us she has ruined - not just you and some ex-pregnant twenty something year old." He dismisses – he's always so dismissive, with everything. I hope too never be like that.
"Don't -" I begin, don't bring her up. This isn't about her, I mean yes, the drama is but not everything else.
"Marley is simply an obstacle, one that you must overcome."
"And Marcella?"
Dad goes quiet on the other end at the mention of the younger one. "What about the baby?"
"She's a Delvaùx dad, whether you like it or not."
"Il n'y a que quatre dans cette famille." He switches to his mother tongue when he becomes agitated, letting his harsh voice poison the language. [there are only four in this family]
"You should've thought of that before you made a fifth with a college student." The words leave before I am able to process them. Stunned, I briefly stop in my tracks before realising there are other students in the courtyard. Watching me, seeking to find whatever it is they want. The answers to the pages printed in magazines I assume.
TEENAGE HEIR OF BILLIONS FOUND WITH SECRET CHILD! Everything you need to know about seventeen-year-old (soon to be eighteen ladies!) Caleb Delvaùx and how his exposé came to be.
The titles were bizarre, I wasn't an heir to billions – I'd already acquired it – well, soon enough. To most February fourteenth is a day for love, to me it's freedom. My eighteenth birthday.
I read some articles out of curiosity, they compared Valé and the girls to the bling ring except the obvious drive – one group was prompted due to a list, the others were driven for possession of money. 'They didn't steal money. They stole hearts.' Was a line continuously used throughout every article I'd read.
Atlas had scoffed when I told him, Luca was too busy regretting all his life decisions that had led him to the moment and Sage asked who they were going to cast as him as if this would ever become a movie adaptation. This was back when he was still talking to me, he hasn't since the whole Lo thing.
