Chapter 1
Regina's heart raced when her eyes fell upon Angelo Sorrento's car. He came by twice every month ever since he had expressed interest in becoming a part of their lives again. Katherine Kennish was beginning to get suspicious and it was only a matter of time before she confronted Regina. What held Katherine back was her husband John. He thought it was best if they just let things be as for now. Angelo's intentions were still unknown and they already had a strained relationship with Regina. They couldn't afford to act irrationally right now.
During Angelo's visits, he would meet up with Bay. His relationship with Daphne had still not progressed and with the new rivalry between the girls, it had pushed him further away from her.
He and Bay bonded over art and music, and Angelo made a promise to take her to Europe with him to visit famous art exhibitions. John and Katherine scoffed at the idea but knew that once Bay was eighteen, she was out of their hands. She was free to do as she pleased. In the meantime, they wanted to make sure that Bay was never completely alone with Angelo. During the visits, they would linger nearby and make sure Bay's garage door stayed open.
Regina saw the car door open up. Angelo stepped out and briefly looked her way before making his way towards Bay's garage. Regina considered for a moment to join them but then decided against it. She drew the curtains back and stepped away from the second-story window.

The first time Angelo visited Bay's garage, he was met by the sight of his daughter embracing an auburn-haired boy. It felt peculiar, almost as if he was invading a private moment. When he finally drew their attention, his daughter walked up to him and offered her hand. He shook it wearily while wishing he could hold her in his arms instead.
His next three visits were longer but he still felt that his daughter kept herself at guard. They could discuss naturalistic art for hours but that didn't bring them any closer. As long as the personal matters were kept at arm's length, he would never gain any new knowledge about his daughter's life.
This time he was determined to get to know her as he walked into the garage with a big smile stretched across his face.
It only took a moment before a frown replaced the smile that had died on his face.

Earlier that day a quarrel broke out in the Kennish family's household. Bay was standing in the kitchen when Daphne walked in. They tried to converse civilly but at the mention of Angelo Sorrento, a fight broke out. It felt like a climax to the silent treatment they had been giving one another for weeks. Their voices were loud and raw, eventually waking up the whole house.
"I don't want him here. Tell him to stop coming!" Daphne's voice trembled with animosity. It would have sounded like a plea had she not been yelling.
Bay shook her head.
"You do not get to decide this. He is my father!" She yelled back while attempting to sign her response.
Daphne felt angry tears starting to moisten her eyes. She was about to open her mouth to utter her next sentence when she felt something vibrate across the room. Bay momentarily left her spot to pick up her phone. Daphne let out a sigh.
"Who was it?" She asked when Bay came to stand before her again.
"Miscall," Bay spoke the word as slow as she could while typing something on her phone.
Daphne nodded and tried to remain calm when she saw Bay's face light up. Her blood started to boil when she realized who it was that had texted Bay. She slammed her hand firmly on the kitchen counter, startling Bay.
"Why do you keep lying to me?" She asked in a heated tone.
"I'm not lying! I just don't want to get into another fight with you." Bay replied wearily.
"I'm not giving up on him," Daphne whispered before leaving the room.
"So you keep saying!" Bay yelled after her.
