-Grayson’s POV-

“Liam? What is… What is going on? Why are we here?” Elaine must have sensed the shift in him too because her tone was filled with pure confusion.

But I didn’t say anything. I just kept staring at him, wondering when all of this had started. His features looked exactly the same. The same as I had known since I was a child. Even with whatever act, whatever words he was about to say that I knew would ruin whatever it was we might have built from the early stages of our lives… he still looked the same.

“Liam?” Elsine called out again, and because I was watching her sluggish movements now, her hand reached to her turnrny band. Liam caught the moment, making the smile turn into a look of pure irritation. “You are not pregnant, Flaine, so why don’t you stop cradling a child that is not there?”

“What?” Her words were a slur, but the shock was evident.

He let out a sigh, like the very act of speaking to her was tiring. “Do you know just how much of a chore you are, Elaine ? You were a spoiled, bratty child that got everything she wanted, and sizteen years later, nothing’s changed” He looked at me. “And you, you always have to have everything. Born into royalty, the whole world was just handed to you, wasn’t it?”

I let out a tired sigh, but I didn’t say anything, wishing he would get to the main point of how this all started, because really, I was exhausted. I needed to sleep.

“Liam, I don’t know what is happening right now,” Elaine’s words came out with more force. “And what kind of joke you two think you are playing, but it’s not funny. It is not funny at all. It is getting really hot in here a-”

“Oh, will you just shut up? For the past six months, all you have done is talk and talk and talk. I don’t know how I didn’t go mad from all of it.”

“So that’s when it started? Six months ago?” I asked finally,

and a smile filtered through. “Oh, finally you’re interested? But the answer is no. It started far longer than that. It started because the world had to revolve around the Blackwoods. There wasn’t ever going to be room for the rest of us. You all sat in your mansions, while
