Mia:

My phone rang in my hand as I walked out of the building, lost in the number of thoughts that kept playing in my head. The way that he spoke to me and the way that he looked down at me like I was less than he was…

It all angered me, and I knew that he understood that very well. And now that my phone was ringing, I couldn’t help but feel enraged at the ringtone.

I answered on the third ring. “What?”

“Well, hello to you too,” she said dryly. “So? What happened? I figure that you didn’t get t

    Mia:By the time I got back to the building, my legs felt heavier than they should have.I was completely drained. And it was like everything that happened had finally caught up to me all at once. The flashing lights were gone, and the crowd had cleared. But the echo of it was still there no matter how hard I tried to fully get my mind off of it.I stepped inside quickly, my eyes already searching, and then I saw her.Rosalyn. The one person who I was more than willing to fight for, my reason to actually stand and survive all the shit that I was going through.Sitting on the couch in my neighbor’s living room, her small hands clutching the edge of her dress, her eyes wide the second they landed on me.“Mama!” She jumped off the couch and ran straight toward me, making my heart race in a way that I didn’t even thin possible. For a second, I even thought that it might stop.I dropped my bag without thinking, bending down just in time to catch her as she threw herself into my arms.“I was

    Tania:I didn’t recognize him. This was the first time that I have seen him treating me this way.Nathan had always been cold. Controlled. Distant, even when he was standing right in front of me. He didn’t want me around and he always made sure that I knew and saw it, even when he didn’t say a word about it.But this wasn’t distance. This was him wanting me gone. “Pack your things. And I am not going to repeat myself twice in this. You are going to get the fuck out of the house before I do something that I will not go back from.”The words echoed in my head, louder the second time.I stared at him, my chest tightening as I tried to make sense of what he was saying.“You’re not serious,” I whispered. “You can’t just ask me to leave, Nathan. I am your Luna…”“You lost the chance to call yourself my Luna the second you chose to play me for a fool.” He said, glaring at me. “You are lucky that I am not ripping your head off your body, but do not tempt me, Tania, and show yourself out of my

    Nathan:The house was quiet when I walked in.And that quiet only made me tense up. Because was like the walls knew that something was about to break.I didn’t say anything as I stepped inside, my eyes already scanning for movement.“She’s in her room, sir,” one of the maids said softly. “She is a lot better now, she got her rest while you were gone. And as you ordered, the children have not seen her through the day.”I nodded once. “Leave.”The maid hesitated. “Sir?”“All of you,” I added, my voice colder now. “I want the house empty save for the children’s nannies. They are going to stay in their room, and the door is to be closed until I say otherwise.”There was no argument after that, it was just quiet footsteps retreating, doors closing. And the silence settling in like a cold night’s hunt.I walked down the hallway slowly, my steps measured, controlled. Because if I didn’t control it, I knew exactly what would happen, and I knew that my children didn’t deserve it… they were sti

    Mia:“Yes.” The word left my mouth before I even thought about it. At this point, I had nothing to hide, and I wasn’t going to try and prove anything to him.I didn’t wait for him to respond. I turned and walked away. My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was trying to break out of my chest, my hands trembling at my sides as I pushed through the station doors and out into the open air. I needed distance, and judging by the cops who allowed me to leave without question, I am guessing that they saw through the tension in the air.“Mia!” Brenda caught up with me quickly, grabbing my arm to stop me before I could keep going. “What the hell was that?” she demanded. “What are you doing? Have you lost your mind to just do that? Everything that you were fighting for?”I let out a sharp breath, shaking my head as I pulled my arm free.“I’m done,” I said. “I am fucking done!”“That’s not just ‘done,’ Mia. You just walked away from your job, and that is not even important right now. But y

    Nathan:I watched it twice.The first time… I thought I missed something.The second time, I knew I didn’t.“That’s her,” the officer beside me said, pointing at the screen.“I can see that,” I replied, my voice quieter than I expected.There she was, Tania, walking into the building like nothing was wrong.There were no signs of hesitation, distress or injury.My jaw tightened slightly as the footage continued. “Timestamp matches the complaint,” the officer added. “This is when she said the incident happened. And she said that they went to her, but clearly it happened differently… she was the one who went to them.”I didn’t answer, because I was waiting, I was waiting for the part where something went wrong, where she stumbled, where someone followed her out. I was waiting for anything to justify what she said.But nothing happened. The clip shifted. Exit footage. And there she was again, walking out. Untouched.My chest felt tight all of a sudden. “That doesn’t make sense…” one of th

    Mia:The room felt smaller the longer I sat in it, and it felt like the walls were closing in inch by inch, pressing the air out of my lungs.I rested my hands on the table, staring at them, trying to stop the slight tremble in my fingers. I didn’t do anything. I kept repeating it in my head, but no matter how many times I tried to explain, no one wanted to listen.The door opened, and I looked up too fast, hope flashing for a second, but having caught her scent, I knew that it was Brenda.She stepped inside quickly, her eyes scanning me, checking, making sure I was okay. “Mia… are you okay?”I stood immediately. “What’s going on? Did they say anything? Are they letting me go?”Her expression tightened, and that was all I needed to know.“Not yet,” she said carefully. “They’re still… processing things. They think we are both guilty.”“Processing?” I let out a dry, breathless laugh. “She accused us of assault, Brenda. What is there to process?”“I know, I know,” she said quickly, steppi
