Chaos Is My CrownĀ Ā Ā 141
š¤ Alexandra š¤āSame time next week,ā Iād said, like it was simple, like it was just a sentence and not the kind of promise that rearranges something quietly in your chest when you make it.Jacob had smiled at me the way heād been smiling at me all day the one that didnāt have any performance behind it, the one I remembered from before everything and then heād crouched down to say goodbye to each of the kids individually, and Iād stood there watching him do it and trying very hard not to feel every single thing I was currently feeling.My phone buzzed in my pocket.I pulled it out, half expecting Jen, half expecting a Saito update, and saw Papaās name on the screen instead.{I found Stella.}Three words. I read them twice, standing in the golden late-afternoon light of a park where my children had just watched their father accidentally kiss me and announced it to the entire surrounding area, and felt the day split cleanly in half the soft, uncomplicated half that was ending, and the

š¤ Alexandra š¤I want his lips on mine. The thought arrived completely uninvited, sitting itself down in the middle of my brain with the casual confidence of something that belonged there, while I stood in the doorway watching Jacob crouch down and kiss each of my babies on the forehead, one after the other, Loveth first, then Freddy, then Dean, then Lilly, who grabbed his face with both hands and kissed him back on the nose before he could straighten up.God, Lex. Get your head out of the gutter.I crossed my arms and made my face do something neutral while Jacob stood up, and the kids swarmed around him the way theyād been doing all week like gravity had simply reassigned itself the moment he came back into their orbit, and everything now naturally tilted in his direction without asking anyoneās permission first.āHave fun, guys,ā I said, already stepping back toward the door, already constructing the next three hours in my head files, calls, the Saito update Papa had promised me b

š¤ Jacob š¤The second Jackās āUnderstood, bossā landed in the air between us, something else landed right alongside it something I hadnāt let myself think about until exactly this moment, maybe because the Grey family revelation had shoved everything else clean out of my head the moment it hit.I stood there with my jacket half on and my car keys in my hand, and let the full shape of what I was now holding settle into place.My grandparents. My parents. All of them, apparently, moving freely through the world while Iād spent five years visiting an empty stage set and believing I was maintaining a relationship and even felt guilty for keeping g them there. All of them knowing exactly where Stella was and what she was doing and choosing, month after month after careful month, to perform confusion and frailty for my benefit while she used everything the Grey name had ever stood for to build something I hadnāt even known existed until last week.And they were just out there. Right now. S

š¤ Jacob š¤One full week. Seven days of round-the-clock digging, seven days of Jack and my new team running down every lead, every shell company, every ghost address that Stellaās name had ever been attached to and nothing. She was everywhere in the paperwork and nowhere in the world. The woman had built herself a life so thoroughly off the visible grid that even people whose entire profession was finding the unfindable were coming back empty-handed.The fake Stella in Lexās custody still hadnāt woken up. Which meant the one person physically within our reach, the one person who could theoretically give us a room number, a city, a single concrete detail about where the real Stella was operating from, was still lying in a hospital bed doing absolutely nothing useful for anyone.Iād spent the week at the Airbnb Jack had extended indefinitely, working through files during the day and driving to see the kids every evening, which was the only part of any given twenty-four hours that felt

š¤ Jacob š¤She took my home from me.Iād said it to Lex on the phone before I fully understood how true it was, and now, sitting alone in an Airbnb that wasnāt mine with a folder full of my fatherās betrayal still open on the table in front of me, I understood it completely.Stella hadnāt just dismantled the Grey family business. Sheād used the Fisher-Hale familyās own power to do it Lexās family, the family Iād married into, the family Iād loved enough to lose everything else for. My sister had reached across two empires, turned one against the other, and walked away with the only thing that actually mattered to her: control of everything both families had spent generations building.This shit is till unbelievable, how did she plan this? And what if my father being involved is also a lie? God I donāt even know what to believe anymore.I sat back in the cheap kitchen chair and pressed the heels of my hands against my eyes until colored static bloomed behind them.Five years of belie

š¤ Alexandra š¤Stella is a pure evil genius. I have to give her that much, even sitting here furious enough to put my fist through a wall. How does one woman play this many people her own family included, and make every single move look like grief, like coincidence, like bad luck, instead of what it actually was?I walked out of Papaās office with the entire sack of files heād handed me, and instead of going to my room, I went straight to my own office down the hall the one Iād had set up here since I was a teenager, separate from the basement office downtown, because some habits of needing my own space to think had started long before I ever needed an empire to run.I didnāt know what to believe anymore. That was the part sitting heaviest in my chest as I shut the door behind me. Iād walked into that basement hours ago thinking I had Stella in custody, thinking I was back in control of something after five years of feeling like Iād lost my grip on all of it. Now I understood that th

š¤ Jacob š¤That banter or maybe I should just call it what it actually was, a simple yet sweet conversation was something I genuinely had not been expecting tonight.Not after the slap.Not after Chairman Fisher told me to leave the room like I was a delivery boy who had overstayed his welcome.No

š¤ Alexandra š¤āOkay I am done with this nonsense,ā Dada said, and this time there was no soft smile, no calm tone, no pretending like everything was under control, he sounded frustrated in a way I had only seen a few times in my entire life and none of those times ended peacefully for whoever cau

š¤ Alexandra š¤āSheās pregnant, President.ā That was the first thing I heard when I tried to open my eyes.And honestlyā¦ God help me because why did my entire body feel like I got hit by a truck, reversed over, and then hit again for emphasis.My head was pounding, my limbs felt heavy, and for a s
