After My Last Breath Chapter 68
[Elara]Before letting me into the cell, Officer Bentley allows me to make two calls.One to Jazz, and the other to Gwen.While Jazz sounds calm and collected after hearing my situation, Gwen is full of frantic questions, fussing over me.If it were up to her, she would have taken another hour for me to explain what was going on. But time was not a luxury I had at the moment. There was only one person whose well-being mattered the most to me, and that was my daughter. Without a single damn doubt. So I told her to just make sure to check up on Cora from time to time, and if she asks about me, to tell her I’m busy.Then I walk into the cell and wait for the long two days to end. There are three other women already occupying the bench, but we don’t say a word to each other.I just hope Jazz will be able to hire a lawyer for me. She did say she had someone in mind when I explained everything to her. Though she also mentioned that the courts would be closed for two days, and considering sh

[Griffin]When I was eight, my cousins dragged me out of my room and locked me in the basement. They called it a game—something meant to be fun, something to laugh about later.It wasn’t fun for me. Not even close.It felt like being trapped inside a horror movie, one I desperately wanted to end.I still dream about it sometimes—the darkness, the scratching of rats, the sticky webs of spiders, lizards clinging to the walls, cockroaches skittering across the dusty floor.It wasn’t until the next morning, when I didn’t come down for breakfast, that our butler realized something was wrong. He searched for me in a panic, moving through the house with frantic urgency, knocking on doors, checking every corner, every dark space he could think of.By the time he found me, I was already unconscious, my pants soaked.When they asked me who had done it, I stayed silent—too afraid that if I spoke up, they would lock me in there again.A few weeks later, they did the same thing to one of our young

[Elara]“You did this to yourself,” Dad whispered harshly into my ear, staring at the cuffs cinched tightly around my wrist. “If only you had listened…”I turn my head away, not wanting to hear any more of his nonsense.From a distance, Damon keeps his gaze pinned on me. He looks serious—his jaw tight, his gaze piercing. He looks somewhat disappointed. But what right does he have to be disappointed in me? I’m the one who’s being framed. I’m the one who has been wronged. Why does he look like I betrayed him in the worst way possible?Perhaps it’s the fact that he ate up all the lies and fake evidence my parents produced for him to see. The fact that he thinks I broke his trust and made him lose almost three billion.I wonder what he would do when the truth comes to light. Would he feel sorry for me or for himself? Would he apologize for his distrust? For not trusting his one and only wife?But who am I kidding? I should be glad if he even sees me as a human being. To hold any more expe

He turns to Damon. “I’m sorry, son, for not raising my daughter properly. This is… this is all my fault.” He pinches the bridge of his nose and shakes his head. “Elara has always been money-minded. She pretends she doesn’t care, but money is the only thing she’s ever cared about. Even as a child, she demanded money as if it grew on trees. And we, as her parents, spoiled her far too much. We gave in too easily—never able to say no to any of her demands.”Are they even talking about me?It doesn’t matter, however, because Mom joins in quickly.“Exactly. We… we failed as parents, and that’s why we’re living through this disgrace today. We were too soft, too trusting. If we had been stricter—if we had corrected her selfish ways early on—this shame would never have come knocking at our door. We gave her too much freedom, too much leniency, and this is what it turned her into.”“No, Mom. How can you say something like that?” Hannah jumps in. Of course she does. She holds Mom by the shoulder

[Elara]To say I’m dumbfounded would be an understatement of the century.Because there’s no way in hell I know what’s going on here.Who is this man? Why is he pointing fingers at me? What idea is he talking about? And why the hell would I come up with anything for a stranger like him?“Is this true?” Damon asks, and I look at him, wondering if he feels as confused as I am.“What are you even talking about?” I frown, shifting my gaze back to the man who seems to be making false accusations. “And who are you? I have never seen you before.”“Don’t joke at a time like this, Ms. Graham,” he says, chuckling awkwardly. “Just admit the truth. I’m sure Mr. Blackwood wouldn’t take it too far, knowing you are the one behind it.”“What?”Just then, Hannah walks over and takes my hand. “Don’t make this any more difficult for Damon, Elara. Just admit what you’ve done, and we can all go back to the way things were. Do you really have to put on an act like this? It’s not like you’re fooling anyone.
After My Last Breath Chapter 63
[Elara] The door shuts behind me, and when I search for my bag—patting my side, hands fumbling for the strap—I realize I don’t have it on me. Shit. Where the hell did it go? I remember picking it up from the table. But then another realization dawns, and I end up sliding down the wall with my back to it. “They took my bag too.” They made sure I contacted no one until they were done with me. Tears stream down my face—not because I feel sad, but because I feel so damn helpless. How did it come to this? Why did I make the stupid mistake of even returning to the Graham mansion? This place had never been my sanctuary, my safe place. The only reason I ever even returned to this place was because I had nowhere else to go. But then I wipe my tears and let out a deep sigh. Perhaps this is all for the good. Maybe I needed this confrontation—to remind myself there’s literally no one here worth staying for. Once the divorce is finalized, Cora and I are leaving for good.
