I stumbled, retreating until my back hit the wall.

“What are you staring at?” Lovie spat, “grab her!”

The inmates charged at me, one grabbed my arms, and the other’s fist connected with my jaw.

I staggered, trying to block the hits as my body ached.

Lovie grabbed my hair, wrapping it around her hands. “From this angle,” she taunted. “You look perfect”

Her grip tightened and slammed my head against hers, rushing to the gates shaking it. “Someone, help! They’re—”

“Yell. Cry, do whatever you want,” she seethed. “No one will save you. You might run Atlas’ heart, but I run this prison”

My hands balled into fists as I turned.

One of the inmates pushed me against the gate and continued their assault while Lovie cheered them on.

My head throbbed, and I crumbled to the ground, blood leaking from my lips as I struggled to push back. I cried as a knee connected with my jaw, breathing heavily.

“Enough,”

They froze at Lovie’s voice. She stepped forward and dragged me up. “What were you saying?”

    I tapped my feet on the ground as the judge sat down. A lump grew in my throat, lingering there as his eyes swept over the jury, finally landing on my lawyer. I leaned against the older man. “What’s going on? The persecutor hasn’t even arrived,”“I’m as confused as you are, Madam. I wonder what strings they are trying to pull. Rest assured, you’ll leave here a free woman.”I nodded and faced the Judge but my mind retreated to last night. When Louis said that, I was stumped. I even went as far as asking Atlas to take off his shirt in the morning. As I expected, his birthmark was right there.I wasn’t sure if Louis was confused or if something had happened between midnight to dawn. I wanted to check at the exact moment Louis said it but I also didn’t want to disturb Atlas. He went out of his way to organize a birthday party for the kids and It didn’t feel fair to startle him awake. Either way, it was a closed case. Atlas was Atlas and I wanted to forget I even assumed he wasn’t. Th

    “Do you like it?” Atlas grinned, gesturing at the decorations.After we returned from the mall, he apologized to the kids and even played soccer with them. Now, we were at the terrace and I managed a smile as my eyes traced the decorations.At this point, I was sure it was all in my head. Atlas could never be Ryle and Ryle could never be Atlas. Greta had a point too, people dealt with stress differently and for the past few months, we had been all over the place. I leaned against his broad chest, hugging him. “I missed this,” I admitted, looking up.He traced my cheek and I captured his lips into mine, he reached for my hair, pushing me forward and deepening it.“I got you something,” he grinned, walking off. When Atlas returned, he was holding a bouquet.My stomach twisted as I registered the flowers. Lilies.Atlas bought me lilies? I was allergic to Lilies. Atlas knew this so how could he?“What's wrong?” he frowned, raising an eyebrow. “You don’t like them?”“I… I’m allergic, A

    “Something’s wrong, Greta,” I said as we walked into the mall. She spun and held my hands, “Everyone responds to stress differently.” I shook my head. I tried to make multiple excuses for Atlas but none felt logical. The change was too drastic, it was almost as if it wasn’t Atlas. But, that’s not possible, right? “Look,” she hooked her arms into mine, gesturing at the sight of designer dresses and the kids racing around the mall. “We are here to relax and have fun. Besides, if Atlas didn’t care, he wouldn’t use his connections to push back the trail so we could…”About that. Atlas managed to push back the trail because he had a surprise. I hoped he was going to explain everything. “Look at this one, mommy!” I turned to see a long red dress covering Leo. “You’ll look so pretty!”I reached for it and Greta nudged me. “Give it a try.”“Fine,” I crouched. “But only because my sweet boy chose it.”I was about to enter the dressing room when a worker approached us. “Sorry, that dress

    “Leo! It’s my turn!” Lily hissed as they bickered. I could barely hear them over the sound of Greta pulling the twentieth dress over my head. We are on the jet, returning to Germany. I was on the jet, returning alone. While the person who completed me was all the way over there. On some island whose address I didn’t even know. “Julia…” Greta paused. “Take the dresses away,” I whispered, yanking the designer dress off me. “Atlas bought them with a love of us,”“Love that wasn’t strong enough to keep him here,” A tear rolled down my cheek. “Julia. I think you’re taking this the wrong way.”“He’s my husband, Greta. I know him better than I know myself. Something is wrong and I can’t do anything to fix it,” I let a sob break through. “I can’t even describe how this feels,”She stared at me for a few seconds before tackling me into a hug. 90’s music tore through the air and we turned to see Louis standing at the door. He was holding a small speaker. He wordlessly dropped it on my

    The nurse glanced between us and parted her lips to speak but Atlas beat her to it. “I managed to get you on parole,” he said, smiling at me. “Because…” he drew out, staring at me like I was a rare jewel. “…of the best news I’ve got in my entire life”Oh, so I wasn’t dying from some terminal illness.“What news?” I asked, glancing between them.“We’re pregnant Julia,” Atlas announced and my world stopped. “It’s a high risk,” he took my hands, kissing them “But, peekaboo, we’re pregnant!” Tears blurred my vision as a soft laugh escaped my lips. I traced my stomach, and Atlas’ hand rested on mine.“I never got to bond with the triplets, because I was an idiot. But, I promise, this time, I will be the best dad ever,”“You are the best dad, Atlas. Our kids are lucky to have someone like you.”He leaned in, kissing me. My hands traveled to his hair, drowning in his soft curls. “I guess I'll leave now,” The nurse coughed awkwardly. “Congrats again,”The door shut behind us and Atlas and

    “Peekaboo?” Atlas said, and I blinked.“Yeah?”“Are you listening?” He asked, examining my face. “What happened?”I stared at him for a moment. Atlas was busy risking everything for me. I couldn’t distract or make him worry.Besides, it was Lovie. She was all bark and no bite anyway.So, Instead of speaking, I silenced him with a kiss, pulling away so he could catch his breath.“Ju-”“I’m fine, Atlas.” I lied. “Inmates can be crazy at times,” The dark-haired man stared at me for a few seconds before sighing. “I’ll get you out of here,” he promised. “We have the best lawyers and they are trying to appeal and get a hearing date,” he tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear before whispering.“Please hang on,” he begged and I smiled, leaning against him. The sound of his heartbeat lulled me into comfort.“As for these,” he said, probably referring to my bruises. “I don’t care if I have to sue the president. They will held accountable for this,”Classic Atlas. He was a hurricane to ever
