Katie ended the call, her fingers trembling around the phone. “That’s enough for now,” she whispered, trying to convince herself that she had not crossed a line she could never uncross.

A message arrived a few minutes later. Darius wanted to meet and hear the full story before the Scavengers made a decision. Katie stared at the screen, realizing the favor had become something far more dangerous.

She called Eric again. “I’ve contacted them,” Katie reported, forcing herself to sound composed. “Th

    She drove toward the hotel, her mind racing through every possible outcome. Raymond might already have contacted the management. He might even be on his way there. By the time she arrived, the evening traffic had thickened. Katie parked, checked her reflection in the mirror, and stepped out of the car. She needed to appear calm. Desperate people attracted attention, and attention was the last thing she wanted. Inside, the receptionist greeted her politely. "Good evening, madam. How may I help you?" "I'm here to see the manager," Katie replied. "Please tell him Katie is here. He'll surely remember me."The receptionist made a quick telephone call before pointing toward a corridor. "His office is down there. He can see you now."Katie thanked her and walked away, her heels clicking against the tiled floor. When she entered the office, the manager rose with a welcoming smile."Miss Katie! It's been a while. I hope everything is fine?""Hello Marcos, Everything is fine," she replied

You just make sure they don’t lose their nerve.”Katie looked toward the

    Katie’s breathing grew shallow. “Oh my God, Eric are you threatening me?” she asked, because his calmness frightened her more than his shouting ever could.Eric paused deliberately before answering. “If you refuse to help, I might stop protecting you,” he said. “Amanda could learn exactly how long we’ve been together.”Katie’s face went pale. “Oh well she already suspects something,” she whispered, remembering the questions she had avoided and the looks Amanda had given her recently.“She doesn’t know everything,” Eric replied. “She doesn’t know about Ivy, either. Imagine what happens when she discovers that you and I were together and the child whom she thought was your ex boyfriend's is actually mine, while she trusted us.”Katie closed her eyes, grief and panic colliding inside her. “Don’t bring Ivy into this,” she said, her voice breaking because their daughter’s memory made the threat feel especially cruel.“Then help me,” Eric answered impatiently. “Make the call, arrange the me

    Eric sat in his apartment and stared at the envelope on the table.It had arrived that morning. A process server had knocked on his door. He had signed for it without thinking. Now he wished he hadn't.The envelope was open. The papers were spread across the table. Divorce petition. Grounds: adultery. Cruelty. Evidence attached.She had done it. Amanda had actually filed.---His hands were shaking.He picked up the papers. He read them again. Then again. Each word felt like a knife. Each sentence felt like a slap.She was leaving him. She was actually leaving him. And she was doing it publicly. She was making him look like the villain.He crumpled the papers in his fist."She thinks she can do this to me?"---He grabbed his phone.He scrolled through his contacts. He found Katie's number. He pressed call. It rang twice before she answered."Eric? What do you want?"Her voice was cold. Distant. She had been like that since the funeral. Since Ivy died. Since everything fell apart."I

    Amanda sat at the dining table and stared at the documents her lawyer had given her that afternoon. The papers marked another step toward ending her marriage to Eric. But she knew the real battle was only beginning. He would fight. He would delay. He would make her life miserable. She had spent too many years allowing that man to dictate how she lived. He had controlled her decisions. He had dismissed her opinions. He had made her feel guilty whenever she tried to stand up for herself. Now, she wanted her freedom. However, freedom came with responsibilities she could no longer ignore. Without Eric, she would have to make every decision herself. From managing her finances to protecting the property she had worked so hard to maintain. Every choice was hers now. She picked up her phone and opened her banking application. The balance staring back at her reminded her that she could not afford to be careless. Every expense needed to serve a purpose. Every decision had to be made carefu

    "I want to file for divorce."Amanda's voice was steady. She sat across from David in his office. Her hands were folded in her lap. Her back was straight.David looked up from his desk. He was a thin man with gray hair and kind eyes. He had been her lawyer for years."Are you sure?" he asked."I've never been more sure of anything."David nodded. He opened a drawer and pulled out a thick folder. He set it on the desk between them. He opened it. Pages and pages of documents."Divorce is a process," he said. "It's not quick. It's not easy and it's not cheap.""I don't care about the cost.""You should." David looked at her. "Eric is going to fight this. He's going to make it as difficult as possible.""I know.""Then let's talk about what we're dealing with."David pulled out a blank form. "This is a petition for divorce," he said. "It's the first step. We file this with the court. We state the grounds for divorce.""What are the grounds?" Amanda asked."Adultery, cruelty, desertion. Th
