Wings of Broken Time by Alina Das 22 Summary
Vivica desperately calls out to Larissa, but Larissa coldly dismisses her, addressing her as “Aunt Vivica,” which deeply wounds Vivica. Kiernan firmly states that Larissa has made her decision and will not be returning to Vivica. Sapphira, relieved by Larissa’s clarity, shares a tender moment with Neville, who reassures her that Larissa adores her and wants to become her daughter officially.
Honora, who has been silent, unexpectedly suggests throwing a grand welcome party for Larissa to announce her as the true heir of the Judson family. This shocks everyone, as it would expose Honora as a fraud in high society. Honora explains her motivation is not the title but her love for her family, and Vivica praises her maturity, though Larissa watches their display with a smirk. Kiernan commands Neville and Sapphira to arrange the party, and Larissa encourages them to make it as grand as possible.
Despite Honora’s outward acceptance, she secretly plans to humiliate Larissa at the party, convinced that Larissa, a country girl, has no place among the city’s elite. She looks forward to seeing Larissa ridiculed and put in her place. After dinner, as Larissa prepares to leave with Sapphira and Neville, Leopold and Honora approach her. Leopold tries to highlight Honora’s supposed kindness, but Larissa insults them both by calling them “dogs,” shattering Leopold’s composure and igniting his fury.
“Larissa!” Vivica cried out in desperation.
Larissa didn’t even spare her a glance. “You’re getting loud, Aunt Vivica,” she said, her tone dripping with impatience.
The name “Aunt Vivica” struck Vivica like a physical blow, leaving her breathless and fuming.
Kiernan’s voice was stern. “Enough. The girl has made her position clear. She will not be returning to
you.”
Hearing Larissa’s definitive answer, Sapphira finally let out a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding.
Neville patted her hand gently. “I told you not to worry,” he whispered with a smile. “She adores you.”
Sapphira gave a weak, relieved laugh. She couldn’t help it; she wanted nothing more than for Larissa to officially become her daughter.
Just then, Honora, who had been silent all this time, spoke up. “Grandpa, now that Larissa is back, shouldn’t we throw a grand welcome party for her?”
Everyone stared at her in shock. For Honora to suggest a welcome party for Larissa was unthinkable. It would mean announcing to all of high society that she, Honora, was a fraud.
“I was thinking we should make it a magnificent event,” Honora explained, her expression earnest. “I want everyone in Regal City to know that my sister is the one and only true heir of the Judson family.”
Kiernan’s expression softened slightly. “That’s very thoughtful of you.”
Honora turned to Larissa, her eyes filled with hopeful sincerity. “I truly want you to accept me. The only reason I don’t want to leave the Judson family is because I can’t bear to part with my parents and brothers. I don’t care about the title of Miss Judson. And that’s the same reason they don’t want
me to leave.”
Vivica’s voice was thick with emotion. “Oh, Honora, you’re so mature it breaks my heart.”
Larissa watched their touching mother–daughter performance with a smirk.
Kiernan said no more, simply issuing a command. “Neville, you and your wife will arrange the welcome party. Make sure Larissa’s identity is announced in a manner befitting her status.”
Ignoring the veiled challenge in Honora’s eyes, Larissa simply turned to Sapphira. “Mom, you and Dad can plan the party however you like. The grander, the better.”
Sapphira, impressed by her composure, nodded. “Of course. Your father and I will throw you the most spectacular party you can imagine.”
Honora’s face remained a mask of serene acceptance, but inside, she was already fantasizing about Larissa’s humiliation at the party.
So what if she’s the true Judson heir? She’s a country bumpkin who doesn’t know the first thing about high society. Did she really think she could just waltz in and become royalty? If she’s that delusional, let’s see how she feels when the elite of this city laugh her out of the room. It’s time she learned her

place.
After dinner, Kiernan retired to his rooms for the night.
“Larissa.”
Just as Larissa was about to leave with Sapphira and Neville, Leopold’s cold, hard voice stopped her. He and Honora walked up to her.
“You see that?” he said, gesturing to Honora.
Larissa glanced up, then nodded. “Oh, I see you two. A couple of dogs yapping at my feet.”
What Leopold had intended to say was: “See? Honora is so kind and gracious. Even after you treated her so horribly, she still thinks of you.”
But Larissa had just called him and Honora dogs.
His icy composure shattered, and fury colored his cheeks. “Larissa! How dare you speak like that!”
