    **Through Unseen Doors We Step Into Untold Worlds Beyond by Sage Hunter Lane 162**


    The atmosphere in the Summers’ household had grown increasingly tense, and N found herself at the center of this storm, the target of their disdain. It was almost as if her very presence had be a catalyst for their contempt, amplifying their disregard for her.


    In the past, N had managed to overlook their unkindness, fueled by her hopes and dreams for a future with rk. But now, with the me of her love extinguished, the thought of enduring their scorn felt like a betrayal to her own dignity. She refused to be reduced to a mere doormat, silently absorbing their kicks and jabs.


    With a forced smile, she turned to Aunt Anne, her voice steady yetced with defiance. “Getting a divorce is still better than never getting married. What do you think, Aunt Anne?”


    The moment those words left her lips, she could see the change in Anne’s demeanor. The woman’s face darkened, her eyes narrowing into sharp slits that could cut through steel. “Say that again?!” she hissed, her tone a mixture of disbelief and fury.


    N knew all too well the weight of Anne’s past. Once, she had been in a rtionship, a connection that had left its mark long after it ended. Now, as she approached the daunting age of forty, still unmarried, the subject had be a raw nerve. It was a topic that hovered like a dark cloud, one that no one dared to mention in her presence, for fear of igniting her wrath.


    Marie, too, felt the sting of N’s words. Ever since theirst confrontation, a simmering resentment had brewed within her. She had held onto the hope that N woulde to her senses and apologize, yet here was N, not only unrepentant but now turning her barbs toward Anne!


    Cindy, standing nearby, regarded N with a mixture of surprise and suspicion. Was she truly out of her mind to utter such a provocative statement?


    Yet N maintained her calm, a serene smile gracing her lips. “Aunt Anne, repeating it won’t change anything. Besides, I live by a simple principle: I don’t offend others unless they offend me first. As a Sumner, I thought you would appreciate that.”


    “Enough!” Marie’s voice cut through the air, icy and sharp. “It’s my birthday party today. Do you really have to stir up trouble and ruin the mood?”


    N felt a flicker of indifference wash over her. Was she truly the one causing difort, or was it Anne’s inmmatory remark that had ignited this tension?


    “Grandma, you’re absolutely right. Since Aunt Anne clearly doesn’t wish for mypany, I’ll take my leave and not trouble her any further. It would be quite embarrassing for the Sumners if a scene were to unfold in front of the guests,” N said, her tone dripping with a mix of sarcasm and resignation as she excused herself.


    With that, she turned on her heel and walked away, her patience for the torment of these women wearing thin. ttering them had never served her any purpose, and she had no intention of sticking around for more of their disdain.


    On the second floor, Cyrus observed N’s departure with a calcting gaze, his mind racing with thoughts of his own. He turned to a nearby attendant, his voice cold andmanding. “How are the preparations going?”


    “They’re all set, but… proceeding with this might…” the attendant hesitated, his voice faltering under Cyrus’s intense scrutiny.


    “No ‘might’!” Cyrus interrupted sharply, his words crisp and deliberate. “Tonight’s n must seed. Follow my instructions to the letter, or you know what the consequences will be.”


    The threat in his tone sent a shiver down the attendant’s spine. He nodded quickly, fear evident in his eyes, and scurried away, eager to escape Cyrus’s presence.

    “Damon, what have you been up totely? I’ve had my secretary trying to set up a meeting with you, but we haven’t managed to connect,” Cyrus greeted him, his tone deceptively casual.


    Damon’s eyes glinted with a hint of recognition at the sight of Cyrus. He epted the ss with a neutral expression, masking whatever thoughts churned within him.


    “It’s Mom’s birthday party tonight, Cyrus. Let’s not discuss business,” Damon replied, a hint of irritation creeping into his voice.


    Cyrus tightened his grip on the wine ss, a wide smile spreading across his face, seemingly unfazed. “Anything you say. As your elder brother, I’m just looking out for you.”


    Damon remained silent, his features inscrutable, revealing no trace of the emotions that flickered beneath the surface.


    But Cyrus had no intention of letting the conversation die. He continued to chat idly, filling the air with words that felt more like a game of chess than a casual exchange.


    Suddenly, Damon’s attention shifted to the northwest corner of the main hall. His brow furrowed slightly, a flicker of concern crossing his face.
