**Wings of Broken Time by Alina Das**<\/p>\n
That ominous threat finally brought a heavy silence over Vivica, a silence that felt as thick as fog.<\/p>\n
Kiernan, visibly drained from the tension that hung in the air, raised his hand in a gesture of finality. \u201cThis ends today. We\u2019re dropping the matter right here. Do you understand?\u201d His voice was firm, leaving no room for argument.<\/p>\n
Paxton, who had been contemplating the situation with a furrowed brow, finally broke his silence. \u201cAs you say, Dad.\u201d His tone was resigned, hinting at a deeper conflict brewing beneath the surface.<\/p>\n
Vivica, however, was seething in her own silence, her mind racing with indignation.<\/p>\n
Sapphira turned her gaze toward Larissa, fully aware that her friend must be boiling with suppressed emotions. \u201cIt\u2019s up to you, Larissa. If you choose to let this go, we\u2019ll let it go. But if you don\u2019t, then this is far from over.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vivica\u2019s eyes widened in alarm, disbelief washing over her features. \u201cSapphira, we are the ones who have been wronged today! What could she possibly have to hold onto?\u201d Her voice trembled with outrage.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou hurt Wren,\u201d Larissa stated, her tone flat and unwavering, as if she were delivering a simple fact rather than a devastating accusation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d Vivica scoffed, a derisive laugh escaping her lips. \u201cShe\u2019s just a housekeeper! I was terrorized by you for half the day, and I haven\u2019t uttered a single complaint! You think her petty injury is worse than what I endured?\u201d Her voice dripped with sarcasm, masking her own insecurities.<\/p>\n
Wren stood to the side, her heart racing as tears threatened to spill from her eyes. The kindness of Miss Larissa, defending her in such a fierce manner, overwhelmed her with gratitude.<\/p>\n
Larissa\u2019s smile was icy, a stark contrast to the warmth she usually exuded. \u201cA housekeeper knew enough to protect me. You, a worthless creature, didn\u2019t. Why on earth would I care if you were hurt?\u201d The words struck Vivica like a slap, the sting of them echoing in her mind.<\/p>\n
Kiernan regarded Wren thoughtfully, a deep sigh escaping his lips as he absorbed the chaos around him. \u201cShe has a point,\u201d he murmured, a profound sense of sorrow washing over him. \u201cWhat a mess\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
He shook his head, frustration evident in his demeanor. \u201cPaxton, if you two hadn\u2019t made such a ruckus in the first place and had simply welcomed your daughter back, none of this would have spiraled out of control. And as for Honora, she\u2019s twenty years old, and you raised her to be exceptional. Do you really think she would be helpless without the Judson name? At worst, you could have broken her engagement to Haskell Palmer and arranged another match for her. It never had to come to this.\u201d<\/p>\n
After what felt like an eternity of silence, Paxton\u2019s gaze shifted past Sapphira to Larissa, his eyes glinting with a warning that spoke volumes. \u201cSo, what do you want?\u201d His voice was low, a dangerous edge lurking beneath the surface.<\/p>\n
Seeing that Wren had regained her composure, Larissa released her arm, stepping around her mother with a determined stride. She approached Paxton, her posture resolute.<\/p>\n
\u201cOut of respect for my grandfather, I\u2019ll settle for an eye for an eye,\u201d she declared, her voice steady and unwavering.<\/p>\n
Before Paxton could fully process her words, she propelled her foot forward, driving it into his stomach with a force that left him gasping.<\/p>\n
Vivica froze, her mind struggling to comprehend the scene unfolding before her. When clarity returned, she saw her husband crumpled on the ground, and a scream erupted from her throat, raw and filled with disbelief.<\/p>\n
\u201cLarissa!\u201d<\/p>\n
Vivica trembled with rage, her voice a piercing shriek that echoed in the tense air. \u201cHow dare you! Over a housekeeper, you actually dared to kick your own father!\u201d The betrayal cut deep, and her heart raced with indignation.<\/p>\n
With the assistance of his bodyguards, Paxton managed to stagger to his feet, clutching his abdomen where a dull ache was already blooming, a painful reminder of his daughter\u2019s betrayal. Humiliation washed over him; it was the greatest disgrace of his life, delivered by his own flesh and blood.<\/p>\n
Kiernan, taken aback by the sudden turn of events, looked at Larissa with a weary sigh. \u201cLarissa, that was too much. There were better ways to stand up for Wren.\u201d His voice was tinged with concern, knowing that her actions could lead to dire consequences.<\/p>\n
But Larissa shook her head, her resolve unshaken. \u201cGrandpa, an eye for an eye is the only true form of justice. Anything else is merely a compromise.\u201d Her words were fierce, a declaration of her beliefs.<\/p>\n
Kiernan opened his mouth to respond, but then closed it, struggling with the weight of her conviction. He didn\u2019t want to condemn her, yet he feared that her sharp, unyielding nature would only invite more trouble into her life.<\/p>\n
Vivica watched Kiernan intently, waiting for him to unleash his fury on Larissa for attacking his son. But when all he offered was a mild, almost non-existent rebuke, a fresh wave of anger surged through her. How could he remain so calm in the face of such chaos?<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the aftermath of the explosive confrontation, a palpable tension hung in the air, thick with unresolved emotions and the echoes of betrayal. Larissa\u2019s fierce defense of Wren had shattered the fragile facade of familial loyalty, leaving Vivica grappling with an overwhelming sense of disbelief and rage.

The silence that followed was heavy with the weight of consequences yet to be realized, as each character stood at a crossroads, forced to confront their choices and the realities they had created.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
As the dust settled, Kiernan\u2019s weariness became a mirror for the collective exhaustion of the family, each member grappling with their own burdens and the heavy toll of their actions.
