THIRD PERSON'S POVThe rest of the morning passed much more peacefully. Star never forced Liam to go to school. Mrs Goldmann, who had listened to everything from the doorway, didn't press anymore...Instead, Liam spent the day finishing up building the castle he was doing in the morning and Star managed to squeeze in some study materials in between them... But her focus stayed on not trying to make him upset anymore....Mrs Goldmann also stayed out of the way for the whole day...Evening arrived. The familiar sound of a car pulling into the driveway echoed through the mansion. A few moments later, the front door opened. Nolan walked inside, loosening his tie with one hand while handing his coat to a servant.He immediately noticed something unusual. The house wasn't tense but it felt a bit gloomy... Mrs. Goldmann was sitting quietly in the living room. Star sat opposite of her where Liam had fallen asleep with his head resting on S
STAR'S POVHe yelled so loudly that his voice echoed through the room."I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!"His chest rose and fell rapidly."You said you were different.... But you're just like everyone else..."His voice became quieter... He looked away before whispering," Go away...."THIRD PERSON'S POVLiam's small body trembled with anger. His little fists were clenched so tightly that his knuckles had turned white."...Go away."Star didn't move. She simply sat quietly on the rug, looking at him with the same calm expression. Liam's breathing became more uneven."I said..."His voice cracked."...Go away."Still... She didn't move. Something inside the little boy finally snapped."WHY AREN'T YOU LEAVING?!"His scream echoed through the room."I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE!"He grabbed the pillow beside him and threw it at her. It hit Star's
DAY FIVESTAR'S POVFive days. It had already been five days since I stepped into the Goldmann mansion. Five days since I accepted a job I knew absolutely nothing about. Five days since Liam declared war on me.A small smile found its way to my lips as I watched him sitting on the living room carpet. Instead of throwing his toys around... He was actually building something.A huge castle out of building blocks.His little tongue peeked out in concentration as he carefully balanced another block on top. Small... But still a progress then laying them all around the floor for me to step on them...He no longer threw paint at me. Well... not every day.He still called me "Miss Annoying."He still stole my notebook whenever he got bored. He still hid my slippers. And yest
THIRD PERSON'S POVThe moment Liam disappeared into the bathroom, Star let out the breath she hadn't realized she had been holding."...One battle down."She glanced at the blue paint staining the front of her dress and sighed."Only six more days..."An hour later... The dining table was filled with breakfast.Pancakes. Toast. Eggs. Fresh fruits. Milk. Star looked around.The entire Goldmann family seemed too busy to have breakfast together. Nolan had already left for work. Mr. Goldmann had disappeared into his office after a quick coffee. Only Mrs. Goldmann remained, quietly sipping her tea while pretending to read the newspaper.Star looked toward the stairs."Liam?"No answer. She frowned."That's strange..."She had just seen him come downstairs. Where did he— A loud crash echoed from the kitchen. Everyone looked up. A maid screamed."Oh no!"Star immediately ran t
STAR'S POVThe unfamiliar softness beneath me made me stir awake. For a few seconds, I simply stared at the white ceiling. Right... I wasn't in the house I once shared with Gloria anymore. I wasn't trapped inside Vanderbilt Estate either. I was in the Goldmann mansion. The realization made me sit upright.The room was quiet, with only the faint morning sunlight filtering through the curtains. I glanced at the bedside clock.6:05 A.M."So early..."I rubbed my sleepy eyes before forcing myself out of bed. Today was my first day. And I only had one week. One week to do what thirteen professional nannies couldn't. I couldn't afford to waste even a minute....After taking a quick shower, I opened the wardrobe Mrs. Finn had prepared I guess cause I don't believe someone else could do that other than her.... There were dozens of neat dresses arranged inside. It was midnight when all of these came and
STAR'S POVNolan's mother gave me a mocking look before leaving the room... Once she left, Nolan grabbed my hand and turned me to him..." Have you gone mad? How can you place such a bet? You don't even know Liam! How can you make him behave nice when no other could? "I sighed..." I may not know Liam but I have a feeling that the problem is not with Liam... The problem is with the people around him... "He frowned..." Are you calling me a problem?"I shrugged...'I don't know but you could be... Liam is a child with adults surrounding him... Everyone is mature here but he is still developing... So how can you expect him to act like a grown man when he doesn't even know what that is... "Nolan's grip loosened on me as he fell into thought..." You can't solve a math problem if you don't understand it... So let me understand Liam first, then I will try to solve his problem... But impatience is not the key.... So all of us needs to calm down..."Nolan finally let go of my hand... He t
Star's POV After Aries left, I walked out of the library too.. I thought of walking back to my room until I heard some noises coming from down stairs.. I should just go back to my room but curiosity got the best of me.. As I walked towards the garden, I saw someone's back.. Probably smoking.
STAR'S POV I stayed in my room only long enough for the ache in my chest to dull.. But how long will these last? I am home.. I have to live under the same roof as them.. I can't ignore them forever, neither can they.. Maybe they are still mad because I wasn't in front of them enough? Maybe sta
STAR'S POV Not even basic manners? The words hit harder than they should have. Maybe because for one foolish second— one fragile, stupid second— I thought he might say, Welcome home. My fingers tightened around the fabric of my dress. My throat suddenly felt dry. “Excuse me…?” He raised a
STAR'S POV “I just lost my family… and now you’re forcing me out of town too?!” Tears streamed down my face as my voice cracked through the quiet cemetery. I was still wearing my white funeral dress. Only hours ago, I had stood there and watched the only person I had left be lowered into the gr
