Ivy's POV
"Why does she get everything?" Jade's shrill voice reverberated through the house as I sat in my bedroom, trying not to laugh. Since returning home, she'd been on a rampage about my university housing arrangements. The fact that I'd secured a dorm while she was forced to remain at home had triggered an epic meltdown – as if living away from this toxic household wasn't something any sane person would want.
A knock interrupted my thoughts. I opened the door to find Faith standing there, his expression tight with frustration.
"Ivy, can you please come downstairs? I want to have a family meeting."
I nearly burst into laughter at the phrase "family meeting" but managed to contain myself with a simple nod. Faith turned and headed back downstairs, his jaw visibly clenched as he walked toward the source of the continued shrieking.
