Chapter: Till we meet again pt2The door had barely closed behind Lisha when the tension began to build.Adia was still glowing with excitement, helping Lisha carry her bags inside, chatting endlessly about where she would stay, what she needed, how everything would work.Dave, however, stood still in the middle of the living room. Processing what was going on.“Adia,” he finally said.There was something in his tone that made her pause.“We need to talk.”The bedroom door shut behind them, cutting off the warmth from the rest of the house.“What is this?” Dave asked, his voice low but firm. “You didn’t even tell me she was moving in.”Adia crossed her arms, already prepared.“I did tell you,” she argued. “I’ve been telling you.”“Telling me she *should* move in is not the same as her showing up with luggage!”Adia exhaled sharply, her excitement fading into frustration.“She has nowhere to go, Dave.”“That’s not true and you know it,” he replied. “She has a mansion.”“A house isn’t the same as a home,” Adia shot ba

Chapter: Till we meet againRain drizzled softly against the café windows, painting the city in blurred streaks of gray and gold. The afternoon crowd had thinned, leaving only scattered conversations and the faint sound of jazz playing overhead.Lisha sat quietly near the corner window, her fingers wrapped around a cup of untouched coffee. She looked different now. Not because of the expensive black dress she wore or the tiredness beneath her eyes, but because grief had changed the way she carried herself.Carefully.As though the world might break her if she moved too quickly.When the café door opened, Adia stepped inside, scanning the room until their eyes met. For a second, neither woman moved. Then Adia smiled softly. Lisha stood, and the two embraced tightly.It had been weeks since they had truly seen each other—not through television screens, not through headlines or whispered gossip, but face to face. Real. Human.“How are you holding up?” Adia asked as they sat down.Lisha gave a small laugh, though th

Chapter: Ethan is deadThe city woke the next morning to chaos.News headlines exploded with speculation. The celebration of new leadership was overshadowed by a single, haunting question: *Who killed Ethan Cross?*His body was taken for examination, and within days, the answer surfaced—poison. Not accidental. Not natural. Intentional.Lisha was left shattered. Confusion clung to her like a shadow. She replayed the night over and over, searching for something she had missed. He had been fine. He had been smiling. He had been alive.Investigators traced every detail, every movement, every hand that had touched a glass. The conclusion was chilling—his drink had been spiked. Quietly. Deliberately. In a room full of people.Staff members, bartenders, servers—no one was spared questioning. Suspicion spread like wildfire. Trust dissolved.Somewhere in that room, someone had decided Ethan Cross needed to die.Across town, far from the flashing cameras and whispered conspiracies, another storm was unfolding.Dave a

Chapter: How to reach a downfallLisha changed. But not in the way Ethan believed. She became quieter, more compliant, more… obedient. She followed his rules stayed when told. And Ethan noticed.“You see?” he said one evening, handing her an expensive bracelet. “This is how things should be.”Lisha smiled faintly.“Thank you.”More gifts followed. Jewellery, designer clothes. Luxuries that once symbolized success now felt like chains. But behind that calm exterior Lisha was thinking. She was no longer reacting. She was preparing.A week later an invitation arrived. A high-profile event. The coronation of a new mayor. A gathering of power and influence. Ethan was attending which meant Lisha had to be there too.The night of the event everything was extravagant.Lights flashed and cameras rolled. The media crowded the entrance.Lisha stepped out of the car beside Ethan dressed elegantly in a red silky dress.To the world they looked untouchable. Cameras captured everything. The event was broadcast live.Dave sat on the

Chapter: Long live EmeryThe days that followed grew darker. Ethan’s control didn’t ease.It tightened. What started as rules became restrictions. What started as anger became violence.Lisha tried again.And again.Different stations.Different officers.Different approaches.But every time the same outcome. It was either dismissed or delayed.It didn’t matter how she spoke or what proof she brought. Ethan’s name always arrived before justice did. And slowly even hope began to feel exhausting.Adia stayed close with calls and messages. Her constant reassurance.“You’re stronger than this,” Adia would say.“We’ll find a way.”But strength felt distant now.And “a way” felt impossible.So Lisha did the only thing she could to survive, she complied. Not because she agreed. But because resisting cost her too much.One afternoon Lisha needed air. Needed something familiar. Something safe. So she called the one person who still brought her peace.Gladys.When Gladys arrived, her presence softened the house instan

Chapter: Porcupine quillsMorning came without comfort. Lisha stood in front of the mirror, her fingers lightly brushing the faint bruises around her neck.They were real. Last night was real.And for the first time in a long time she felt powerless.She didn’t waste time. Within an hour, she was at the police station.“I want to file a report,” she said firmly.The officer behind the desk nodded casually. “Against who?”Lisha took a breath.“…Ethan Cross”.The change was immediate. The officer’s pen stopped moving. Another officer, who had been walking past, slowed down. A third looked up from across the room.“Ethan Cross…?” the first officer repeated carefully.The officer leaned back slightly, clearing his throat.“Ma’am… are you sure you want to proceed with this?”Lisha frowned. “He assaulted me.”Another officer stepped in.“There are… procedures,” he said vaguely. “These kinds of cases require… careful consideration.”“Then consider it,” Lisha snapped. “I have visible injuries.”They exchanged glances
