Following the deaths of Nate and Lydia, Julian leaned heavily on Evie, who provided him with a sense of stability and comfort. Their relationship deepened, and eventually, Julian proposed. Their engagement was announced in a small, private family gathering. Julian chose to forgo a grand celebration out of respect for his late siblings. Evie has since become a trusted and beloved figure in the family. Her presence seems to ease Julian's strained relationship with his father, Larry, who now sees her as the saving grace who has grounded Julian.
Larry remains close to Anne, Nate’s widow, often visiting her and treating her like another daughter. In the years since his eldest son's passing, he's devoted himself to preserving the Bellamy legacy, funding charities in Rose, Nate, and Lydia's names and using his wealth to support the careers of his surviving sons. But Julian and Alec often feel that Larry is clinging too tightly to the past, unable to accept that his children's lives are shifting in directions he might not have envisioned.
Alec's romance with Lillian has blossomed, though it lacks the stability of Julian and Evie's relationship. Lillian's career in journalism often takes her to risky and remote locations, which worries Alec, though he admires her independence. Alec is studying civil engineering with ambitions of designing resilient infrastructure. The two remain reluctant to commit to anything as formal as an engagement, partly because Alec feels the need to forge his own path before settling down and partly due to Lillian's desire for freedom.
Anne, now 31, has never remarried, nor has she shown much interest in pursuing a new relationship. She spends her days volunteering at architectural preservation societies, giving lectures in Nate's memory, and working to promote the buildings he designed before his death. Larry often remarks that Anne carries Nate's legacy better than anyone. Though she remains close to the Bellamy family, she's gradually distanced herself, finding solace in quiet dedication to her late husband’s vision.
It was only a few months after Julian and Evie's engagement that Julian began experiencing strange and unsettling nightmares. One night, he woke in a cold sweat, having dreamt of a tall building collapsing, debris scattering, and a figure he recognized as Alec disappearing beneath the wreckage. The dream was so vivid that Julian could still smell the dust in the air when he awoke, and he spent hours processing it. The next morning, he tried to brush it off as just a disturbing dream.
But over the following weeks, certain elements of the nightmare seemed to creep into his waking life. Alec, who had been working on a project involving an experimental new bridge, narrowly avoided a serious accident at the construction site when a piece of scaffolding unexpectedly collapsed. The incident was a minor one, but it left Alec shaken, and it was eerily reminiscent of Julian's nightmare - as well as Nate's tragic fate. Julian confided in Evie, who tried to reassure him that it was just a coincidence.
Gradually, other aspects of the nightmare began appearing in Julian's life, seemingly by chance. He started seeing obscure reminders of Lydia - pieces of sheet music she used to play, old photographs left around the house by mistake, even a faint echo of her voice in the family's abandoned music room. The dream seemed to follow him, and Julian found himself slipping into a state of paranoia, half-convinced that Lydia was haunting him. The sense of foreboding he felt grew stronger, leading him to believe that another disaster was imminent.
When Julian shared his anxieties with Alec, his younger brother brushed it off as stress and the pressures of the family's history weighing on him. But Larry took a different approach, reminding Julian that he had always been the sensitive one and that such feelings were to be expected given all he had endured. Privately, Larry began to worry about Julian's mental state, fearing that his kidnapping and the family's tragic history had left him haunted.
Julian began distancing himself from his family, fearing that something terrible would happen to them because of him. He grew increasingly reclusive, retreating into books and losing himself in work. Evie noticed the change, her fiancé becoming increasingly withdrawn and tense. She tried, with little success, to distract him.
Meanwhile, Alec's career ambitions soared. Driven by the desire to create something lasting, something he could call his own rather than just a continuation of Larry and Nate's legacies, Alec threw himself into risky, high-stakes engineering projects. His latest project, an experimental high-rise bridge, was something that Julian felt an inexplicable dread about. His attempts to dissuade Alec only strained their relationship, and Alec accused Julian of trying to hold him back out of jealousy.
One evening, Julian experienced another nightmare, even more vivid than the last. This time, he saw himself standing at Alec's construction site, a storm brewing above them. Lightning struck, and in the flash, he saw Alec standing on the edge of the bridge as the structure began to give way. He woke with a start, convinced that Alec was in imminent danger. In a frenzy, Julian called Alec and tried to persuade him not to go into work the next day, but Alec dismissed it as paranoia.
In a desperate attempt to prevent his nightmare from coming true, Julian rushed to his brother's work site the next day. He arrived just as Alec was about to ascend the bridge for a final inspection. Furious, Alec confronted Julian, dismissing his fears as nonsense. But as their argument escalated, a sudden freak storm hit, just as in Julian’s dream. Lightning struck the bridge's framework, and Alec and Julian scrambled for cover.
The brothers escaped unharmed. Alec, though reluctant to admit it, was forced to reckon with his own recklessness, while Julian struggled with the knowledge that his nightmares might be more than mere figments of his imagination. The weight of their family's legacy bore down on them like concrete rubble.
After this near-disaster, Julian and Alec’s relationship began to mend, with Alec respecting Julian's instincts and Julian embracing his role as Alec's older brother and protector. Julian's nightmares ceased, but he could never fully escape the feeling that something was waiting, lying hidden in the corner, waiting for the right moment to lurch.
