Part 14: The Zenith

Part 14: The Zenith
The Zenith Skyscraper touched the clouds.
One hundred floors above the city.
The gala was dripping in wealth.
Diamonds.
Champagne.
Fake smiles.
The same luxury society people who abandoned us...
Now smiled at me like nothing happened.
I wore a simple black dress.
No jewelry.
No armor.
Just me.
Caleb held my hand tight.
My mother stayed close, holding Lily.
We brought her.
We had no choice.
Leaving her alone with security wasn’t safe anymore.
Not against a ghost.
The music was loud.
The lights were blinding.
Then, the music stopped.
A man walked onto the stage.
Silver hair.
Custom suit.
A smile that didn’t reach his eyes.
May you like
Julian.
The dead brother.
