Wings of Broken Time by Alina Das 38 Summary
Finley is under immense pressure at work, having faced two major failures with high-profile TV series that threaten the future of his company and his leadership. When his assistant Magnus struggles to find a solution, Finley demands results with sharp frustration. The tension in the office reflects Finley’s desperate need for a successful project to prove himself.
The mood shifts when Finley’s brothers, Paxton and Leopold, arrive with disturbing news about Larissa, the so-called biological sister recently brought into the Judson family. Leopold recounts Larissa’s aggressive and ungrateful behavior, including physical attacks on both him and Honora. Honora, who has never been treated harshly before, has been deeply hurt and emotionally distressed by Larissa’s cruelty.
Leopold’s frustration and injuries highlight the severity of the family conflict, pushing Finley to confront Larissa himself. Despite his exhaustion and disappointment from work setbacks, Finley’s demeanor turns cold and determined as he prepares to address the source of his family’s turmoil.
The chapter closes with Larissa in the courtyard, quietly drying herbs from her village when Finley approaches her, initiating a tense encounter between the estranged siblings. The atmosphere is charged with unresolved conflict and the promise of confrontation.
“Even if you did manage that, sir, there’s no guarantee they’d be convinced,” Magnus muttered under his breath.
Finley’s hand slammed down hard on the desk, making the papers jump. “Find a way. If I hear one more word of excuses, you’re out of here immediately!”
Magnus clenched his jaw to hold back a sharp reply, finally murmuring, “Understood,” before turning and leaving the office without another word.
Finley pinched the bridge of his nose wearily, the weight of recent failures pressing down on him. Over the past year, the company had poured massive resources into two high-profile TV series, each starring well-known celebrities. Both projects had crashed spectacularly. If they didn’t land a hit soon, the company’s future would be in jeopardy—and Kiernan would start doubting Finley’s leadership. He needed a blockbuster success to prove he was capable of running the company.
Just then, the office door opened once more.
“Finley.”
He looked up to see Paxton and Leopold stepping inside. “What’s going on?”
Leopold, having heard that his older brother had returned from his business trip, had bypassed his own studio and come straight to Finley’s office.
“Finley, you’ve been gone for days. You have no idea how badly Honora’s been treated at home!”
Finley leaned back in his chair, exhaustion flickering across his face.
“I’ve been tied up negotiating a TV deal for our new actress, Corrina. I only just got back today. What happened? Who’s been bullying Honora?”
“Who else but that so-called biological sister Mom and Dad dragged back from the countryside!” Leopold’s frustration boiled over as he flopped onto the sofa, stretching his legs out on the table. He launched into a detailed account of Larissa’s first three days with the family.
Finley’s brow furrowed deeply as he absorbed the list of Larissa’s supposed offenses.
“I heard she was some herb-selling girl from a village. She should be shy, overwhelmed. How is it she’s acting so brazenly right after arriving? She actually dared to hit you and Honora?”
“Exactly! She doesn’t seem to realize how lucky she is to be back here as a Judson heiress. Instead, she’s been trying to push Honora out of the family—and when that failed, she started attacking her at every turn. She’s completely ungrateful!”
Leopold sat up, rolling his pant leg to reveal a fading bruise on his knee. “Look at this! The kick she gave me nearly crippled me! And she slapped Honora so hard her face was red and swollen! You know Honora’s never been treated like that in her life. She’s been crying nonstop these past few days because of Larissa’s cruelty!”
Throwing his hands up in frustration, he added, “I can’t handle her alone. She’s driving me crazy. You have to do something.”
Finley’s expression remained calm, but his eyes grew icy cold. “I see. Looks like I’ll have to make time today to meet our dear sister myself.”
He was already in a foul mood after the company’s failure to secure the rights to “Heaven’s Will,” and he needed a way to vent his frustration. If this so-called sister had just stepped into his path, he’d be more than willing to confront her.
It was two in the afternoon. Despite it being September in Regal City, the heavy summer heat still clung to the air, making the atmosphere thick and stifling.
Larissa was in the courtyard, carefully spreading out herbs from Spire Village to dry under the sun when a voice cut through the stillness.
“So, you’re Larissa. My long-lost sister?”
She looked up slowly, her eyes meeting the speaker’s.
