Despite their plans, Ayesha moved into his house, but argued to keep to the guest bedroom so they could still have some of their arrangements preserved. Dimitri didn't argue. It was a miracle that he didn't have to hound her into staying with him.

"How'd you sleep?" She asked when he stepped out of his bedroom.

"Uneventful. Thankfully. You?"

"Good. Same."

"Have you called Joseph?"

"Yes, early this morning. My mom didn't go back. I am a little worried."

"Nothing to worry about. We will handle whatever she does. What matters is that we have filed the report against her."

"I don't think it would do much."

"Not much, but at least, should anything happen, we don't need the police pulling tales of you leaving alone without saying a word."

She tugged his shirt, and he settled against the wall so she could lean against him.

"You think she'll take me by force, right?"

"Don't you?"

"I wouldn't put it past her.

    "Open the door!"Ayesha yanked on the rigid door handle, pulling it back and snapping it up and down with all her might. Yet, the wooden doors did not open. She abandoned the efforts after some time and returned to the dressing table to pick up the metal chair to haul it at the windows, but they were too high. Even if she managed to swing it off the ground, despite its daunting weight, it would not make enough impact on the windows.For three days, she was confined to her old room, with maids bringing meals on schedule. In the morning, in the afternoon and in the evenings. They drew her baths and left her alone to wash. They set her clothes down on the bed, and with no other option but nudity, she had to put them on.Of course, she had tried multiple times to leave the room whenever the maids arrived, but to n

    In the evening, a little past four, Dimitri arrived at the pottery store. He stopped abruptly as a car sped out of the parking space and gunned it down the road. They nearly brushed his car in their haste. He watched them with a judgmental frown. Some drivers didn't know how to respect others when they drove.When he entered the store, he smiled at the receptionist, looking around to see if he could spot Ayesha anywhere."Mr Adams, good evening.""Good evening. Is Ayesha still working?"The woman frowned, her eyes shifting to look behind him. "Wasn't she outside?""Outside?""Yes. She stepped out not more than three minutes ago to wait for you."

    The sound of his doors unlocking drew Dimitri’s attention to the small monitor mounted on his kitchen counter. A familiar mop of hair entering the house brought a smile to his face. He pulled off the apron and tossed his towel aside after drying his hands. She was earlier than he expected, and he wasn’t done preparing the dinner she requested, but he was more than happy to see her.“Babe.” His smile dropped when she turned, pausing in the act of taking her jacket off.The first thing his eyes locked on was the dried blood caking her lip. He moved before she had the time to utter a word. His hand reached out to delicately cup her cheek, which he noticed was slightly discoloured.“What happened?”Her fingers reached for the cut, and she smiled weakly. “I, uh, I got hit.”“Who?”“My mother.” She muttered, her body sagging against his.“Your mom?”“She found me, Dimitri. I tried to hide, but she found me. She found me, and she want

    "Who are you?"Ayesha stood before there was a chance to reply, and after twelve years of freedom, she faced her mother. The woman had aged, but the sinister smile behind her eyes had not faded with time. She dressed moderately by her standards: a fitted gown that reached her ankles, with a large coat thrown over it. Her jewellery was stud earrings and thin necklaces. The heels brought her almost to Joseph's height."Mother.""There's my little angel."Shock didn't limit Joseph's reflexes. He planted his hand on the door frame and proceeded to block her with his body when she tried to make her way in."And you are?""Joseph. You can't come in.""That's my daughter in there, and you either move or I'll have you moved.""Try.""Joseph, it's alright." Ayesha's voice trembled.Carol stood and set her arm on Ayesha's to keep her close. She hated feeling weak again. Twenty-eight, and she still had everyone else trying t

    When they returned to town the next day, Ayesha was itching to return to her apartment and share the news of her engagement with Joseph and Carol. She had been on pins and needles every conversation they had had on the phone, aching with the need to let her happy news spill out. By grace, she could keep herself contained, and in just a few hours, she would be with them.Carol would go crazy. When Dimitri walked in with their last bag, she strolled over to him and threw her hand over his shoulders. He smiled, letting go of the bags to settle his hand around her waist, interlocking his fingers at the base of her spine. He didn't need much prompting than the upturn of her face to plant a solid kiss on her lips. Her fingers played
