Now...

Closing the book, I gently tap my fingers on the smooth surface of the cover, lost in thought as I reflect on what I have just read.

Is this really abouther?About us?

The foreword doesn’t reveal anything about us, but I know this is only the beginning—a mere taste meant to entice readers to dive deeper into the book.This book might hold more than just some chapters about a dysfunctional family and the hardships of becoming a prima ballerina assoluta.

Are all the truths hidden beneath the pages?Does it reveal that the ballerina wanted to quit?The fucked-up life she lived before us?

Grey and I knew our beautiful ballerina loved to dance, but she wanted more than to follow her mother’s dream.Even as she moved flawlessly, with the ethereal grace of a fairy, her aspirations reached far beyond the confines of the stage.

I want to go through the book and see what else they added to this story.Lang claimed that Greyson and I were mentioned in it.So far, there’s no mention of us.

Should I just read it from cover to cover and see if there’s actually a glimpse of our intertwined lives—a story that ended too abruptly?

Who the fuck wrote this book?

Was it Enya?The sister who sounds like a caring person in the foreword?I know too well that she was everything but.

I can’t imagine her writing a book, and a book that delves into her family history.The mysterious author sounds nothing like her.This woman seems to care about her little sister—even admires her.The words carry a tenderness Enya Carlton never had toward my ballerina.

I close my eyes briefly, trying to calm the vortex of emotions swirling inside me while I wonder what’s behind this narrative.

Why did Enya write it, if indeed she’s the author?

It can’t be her.If it were Enya, her name would be printed in bold golden letters, demanding the attention of the entire world.

I remember her well—too well.

Enya Carlton possesses an insatiable thirst for attention, driven by an unyielding hunger for recognition.She loves to stand out from the crowd and would do anything to carve her name into everyone’s minds.Even destroy those she claims to love.

She’s selfish, and nothing in this book talks about her desire to have the attention of billions of people.Everything she ever did was to draw attention to herself and claim her fifteen minutes of fame.

Then why is it that she didn’t write her name or make it about her?

I run a hand through my stubble, trying to figure out why she decided not to add her name to this book.

Is she afraid of us?Does she know we would sue her?
