“I could die at Yvonne’s hands tomorrow and you’d probably tell me I was just being dramatic.”
Tracy felt a wave of nausea. Even with the divorce papers right there, Yvonne had managed to pivot, and Chase, predictably had bought it hook, line, and sinker.
Chase let out a sharp, dismissive huff. “Tracy, give it a rest. Yvonne already said she didn’t know the guy was married. Are you even listening? Even if you were with Chandler, so what? If you couldn’t keep him interested, that’s on you. Maybe if you were as impressive as Yvonne, he wouldn’t have walked away.”
He hadn’t even finished the sentence before Sarah’s hand whipped out, stinging his leg with a desperate slap. She clutched at her chest, her breath

Trevor rushed to her side, shooting Tracy a look of pure mother. “Mom! Just breathe, okay? Take a breath!”
Jared’s voice cut through the room, cold and sharp. “Are you happy now, Tracy? Screaming over nothing until you’ve pushed Grandma into an attack? I’m done with your scenes. This ends now.”
The flicker of guilt he’d felt seeing the divorce papers had vanished. To him, this was just Tracy being toxic. Seeing their grandmother collapse was the breaking point; any sympathy he had for her was gone.
Trevor let out a heavy sigh, looking at Tracy with total disappointment. “I get that you’re bitter, but your grandmother is the one person who’s always had your back. And you do this to her? Just stay away from this house. We’ve had enough.”
Sarah’s face began to turn a bruised shade of purple. Her eyes her body sliding out of the chair as she lost consciousness.

The second the front door slammed, Tracy’s knees buckled. She clutched her stomach and slumped to the floor, her body trembling under the weight of a sudden, sharp pain.
Millie rushed over to steady her. “Tracy! What is it?”
Tracy shook her head, her face deathly pale. “I’m fine. Just my stomach. Get me some water, Millie. Please.”

While Millie was in the kitchen, Tracy fumbled with her bag, pulled out a prescription bottle, and swallowed a few pills dry.
By the time she finished the water, the stabbing ache had begun to subside. Her phone buzzed; it was Sean.
“It’s late,” his voice came through low and steady. “Why aren’t you home yet? Are you still at the hospital?”
Tracy stared at the empty glass. “Something happened. I’m at the Xander house.”
“What’s wrong with your voice?” Sean’s tone sharpened instantly. “You sound weak. Are you having an attack?”
“No,” Tracy lied. “My grandma collapsed. I’m h

Despite the bridge being burnt with her brothers, Tracy couldn’t stay away from Sarah. She drove to the hospital and found the family gathered the hall. The moment they spotted her, the tension in the air spiked.
Chase stormed over, trying to shove her back toward the elevators. “You have a hell of a lot of nerve showing up here after what you did. If you weren’t so busy trying to ruin Yvonne, she’d be fine. Get out of here. You aren’t welcome.”
Jared stepped up, his expression final. “You’ve done enough damage. Grandma doesn’t want to see you, and neither do we. Everything is fine until

Tracy let out a short, bitter laugh and shoved Chase’s hands off her. “She’s in there because Chase couldn’t keep his mouth shut. Don’t you dare pin this on me. You can worship those two snakes all you want, but she’s the only standing here.”

Chase turned beet-red and raised a hand as if to strike her.
“This is a hospital,” a cold voice interrupted. A doctor rounded the corner, his gaze sweeping over the group. “If you can’t be quiet, security will show you the door.”
Chase dropped his hand, glaring.
The surgeon, Dr. Morrison, walked straight past the brothers and stopped in front of Tracy. “Ms. Tracy? I’m Dr. Morrison. Mr. Sean sent me to handle your grandmother’s surgery.”
