(Sky’s POV)

 

I need a miracle.

 

As to where or how the miracle will happen, I do not know because I was still raging in annoyance when I got home. One of our drivers, Frank, panicked, seeing me leaving my car in the middle of the driveway, and as he approached me, I tossed the key to him, my nostrils flaring in anger as I walked into the house.

 

The maid must have known I was coming because she had already opened the main door before I could hold the knob. She lowered her gaze as I walked past her, and I doubt if any of the female servants would want to look me directly in the eyes except for Elenita, our housekeeper, the one who managed the house and the household maids after Mom divorced my father two years ago.

 

Elenita was only twenty when she was hired as my nanny when I was born, and now that I am twenty-four years old, she is still here, focusing on taking care of my eight-year-old sister and managing the house since Mom left and Dad got sick.

 

“Sky!” I heard Elenita’s voice calling me from the living room.

 

I rolled my eyes, wanting to escape her and ran to my bedroom, but she had already seen me.

 

“Sky!” She called again.

 

I heaved a deep sigh, walking toward the living room in the direction of the woman I considered my second mother. She is braiding Olivia’s long hair while my young sister reads a children’s book. My forehead creased seeing my brother, Finn, playing a video game with my cousin Leo.

 

“What happened to your face?” Elenita asked worriedly, leaving Olivia and walking toward me.

 

“What are you doing here?” I asked, my eyes fixed on Finn, ignoring Elenita. “You’re supposed to be in school.”

 

“The principal suspended him again,” Olivia flickered her eyes on me, explaining briefly why our irresponsible brother, who was supposed to be in school, was here enjoying playing video games with our cousin.

 

“Did you get into a fight?” Elenita carefully held my face, checking the skin.
