Nora leaned in towards Kalene, her voice laced with urgency. “You can’t be so nonchalant! Look at
Sierra. The moment dad finished his dinner and let out a yawn, she was all over him, fussing like
attentive waiters.”
Kalene, with her ever-so-gentle voice, replied, “If those two are willing to look after Hudson, it takes a
load off our shoulders. Why not be happy about it?”
Nora’s anxiety peaked. “But look at our situation. My oldest nephew’s gone, and my brother’s been hit
hard by the tragedy. He’s been sick and homebound, unable to get involved with the company’s affairs.
And Zavier, stubborn as a mule, is always butting heads with granddad even when he knows he’s on
thin ice. If you keep this laid-back attitude, we’ll end up with nothing.”
At the mention of the eldest son, Kalene’s composed facade wavered, but her voice remained soft.
“We’ve got a roof over our heads, a car, and savings. Even if we don’t get a penny more, we won’t
starve. As for the inheritance, if it’s not meant to be, so be it. Right now, I just want Zavier to be healthy
and safe.
Unconvinced, Nora switched tactics. “Do you want your family line to end, then?”
“What do you mean?” Kalene’s voice carried a hint of confusion.
You’ve got only one son left in Zavier. If he marries a girl who can’t have kids, your family name dies
with him.”e2
Kalene paused before replying, “I’ll have the doctor help Skyler with her health immediately. If in two
years, when they’re of legal age to marry, there’s still no baby, then I’ll consider other options.”
Nora scoffed. “You’re willing to give the Blue girl two years, but who’s giving you two years?”
Kalene didn’t respond.
Nora persisted, “Listen to me. Give the Blue girl six months max. If there’s no sign of a baby by then, I’ll
step in. Dad might not listen much, but he listens
to me…”
Before Kalene could reply, the sound of approaching footsteps interrupted them. Skyler hurried towards
the source, nearly bumping into the stern-faced butler. He glanced behind Skyler with a frown. “Miss
Skyler, your bags are packed. The driver will take you to Mr. Zavier’s residence.”
Skyler hadn’t expected to be sent off to Zavier’s place so suddenly. Despite her reluctance, she simply
nodded and said, “Okay.”
On the ride to Zavier’s place, Skyler replayed the conversation between Kalene and Nora in her head.
She remembered reading about Kalene’s eldest son, Zavier’s brother, who had suddenly passed away
earlier that year at the age of twenty-four.
Now, with only Zavier left, Kalene would undoubtedly want him to settle down and continue the family
line soon. Skyler didn’t know how Kalene would respond to Nora, but she was painfully aware that to
the Riveras, just like the Blues, she was nothing more than a means to an end. A tool to be used, and if
no longer useful, could be easily replaced or discarded.
Being sent back to the Blue household would be a dead end for her. She knew she had to find a way to
survive before that day came.
She wanted to live, to live well, and with dignity.
