A heavy mist fills my lungs—worry for what Pria might be going through blocks my mind.It’s not that I care for her, but… no one should face hell alone.Is it her sister?Did Maeve die?I might not want to be close to her, but my instinct is to figure out how to help her.We’re talking about the woman who has lived to be at the beck and call of her family.If she needed a support system back in college, I bet she needs it now even more.
The least I can do is find out what’s happening, if she really needs this job.After all, Ainse is always talking about her friend Ana and how amazing she is.Isn’t she?
My sister frowns.“What’s happening?”
I love that the connection we lost while she was dating Porter is back, but I don’t need her to be on my ass.
“Not now, Ainsley.”I use my smooth voice, working hard not to show any emotion.
My triplet likes to dig until she finds answers.Switching gears, I decide to head out and find out what’s going on with Pria.If someone can help me with the details and won’t ask questions, it’s Mason.
“What?”he barks over the phone.
“Remember Pria Walker?”I had asked him to look for her, and when I’d only given him a nickname, he looked at me like I was some idiotic fool who was fucking insane.I guess having a nickname, a last name, and no other information made it impossible for him.“Her full name is Cipriana.”
“Yes, Cipriana Walker.Why didn’t I think of that when we met her?”His faint voice on the other end of the line makes me want to punch him.“There, I found her.I’ll send you the bill later.Now, leave me alone.Some of us have a real job, and I promised my woman I’d be home early.”
His wife is too busy meddling in my life to worry about him right now.
“I need her address.Can you text it to me, please?”I walk around my desk, end the call, and look at my sister.“You sure she can fix the shit you and the ’rents are nagging about?”
“I—yeah?She’s great.”
“I hate to take off, but…” I grab my wallet and car keys, marching to the door.“See you later, Princess.Lock the door on your way out.”
“I deserve some explanation, Jacob Christian.”That scream makes me rush through the building before she can catch up.
An explanation?That’s a mouthful.I’d need an entire lifetime to explain Pria Walker.It was long ago.And yet, yesterday’s music is trying to revive itself in my body.
Why?
Is it because she’s back?

Where is Aggie Now?
At seventeen, Agatha Levitz was sent on her second trip to rehab.Since then, no one has heard from her again.
Rumor has it she died from an overdose.
Was it another suicide, like her brother Evan Levitz, or… where is she now?
Martin Levitz, drummer and former member of the band Dreadful Souls…
I almost laugh at the poorly written article about Agatha Levitz, or as the world used to know her, Aggie.A child star dragged through the nine circles of hell since she was six years old.
Newsflash, people, she’s dead.I doubt they’ll accept the sad truth, not until they find the lifeless body of a teenager dumped in a lake.
“It’s been ten years.Let it go!”My voice echoes through my apartment.
Maybe I should be the one ignoring the clickbait and accept their curiosity.After all, it’s human nature to want to know what happens to the rich and famous.Celebrities are at the mercy of their public.Not all of them know what they’re signing up for until it’s too late.Their destiny belongs to the millions of fans.
In my opinion, Aggie was set for failure from the beginning.Her life was over the moment she set foot in a television studio, or maybe after she was conceived.
