I woke up feeling like my emotions had been scattered all over. Sound reached me before my eyes opened up fully. I heard voices drifting in and out, blurred at the edges, as if I were underwater and the world was speaking from the surface. I didn’t open my eyes right away. I wasn’t sure I could. I wasn’t sure I wanted to. My head pulsed with a dull, steady ache and my body felt like it had been pressed into the mattress, weighted down, pinned.“…blood pressure stabilised,” a man wearing an all-white coat said somewhere near my left. His voice was calm with each word that left his lips. “She fainted due to emotional shock. Likely dehydration and exhaustion played a role as well.”Another joined the conversation even though I couldn’t see his face. But it was familiar enough that my chest twinged before I knew why.“If you don’t mind me asking, doc. What was the cause of Mr Derek’s death?” I frowned faintly, my brow tightening without my permission.“The kidneys were the primary

I turned sharply toward the voice at the reception desk, my body reacting before my mind could catch up.“Brian?” The name tore out of me, like an animal filled with disbelief.The waiting room noise dulled instantly, like someone had pressed a hand over the world. I stepped closer, my shoes striking the floor louder than they should have. “What are you doing here?” My voice rose despite myself. “Why are you asking questions about my father?”Brian stared at me like I was the last person he expected to see. His brows pulled together, surprise flickering quickly into something guarded. “Chloe?” He straightened. “How did you even know Derek was here?”The question immediately struck me as wrong.My shoulders squared. “Why wouldn’t I know?” I snapped. “He’s my father. Why are you here?”“I came to see my father-in-law,” Brian said, his tone calm but firm, like he was bracing for impact.I laughed after hearing those same untrue words again. “No. You didn’t.” I stepped closer,

The hospital was larger than I thought it be.I parked crookedly, killed the engine without really registering it, and sat there for a beat with both hands locked around the steering wheel. The building’s lights glared back at me through the windshield, they were too bright, too white, too final. My phone buzzed in my pocket, probably Lois, but I ignored it. I opened the car door and stepped out, the night air sharp against my skin.Each step toward the entrance felt more difficult than the previous one. The automatic doors slid open with a quiet hiss, releasing the sterile scent of disinfectant layered with something sharper beneath it. The emergency lobby buzzed with contained motion. Voices stayed low. Footsteps moved fast. A child whimpered somewhere to my left. A man argued quietly into his phone near the wall.I stopped just inside the doors.I pressed my tongue to the roof of my mouth and breathed in slowly. Once. Twice. My shoulders dropped a fraction.Then I walked to

The quiet hit me the moment I shut the door behind me. I locked it the same way I did every day, whenever I returned. They proceeded to do my usual ritual of resting my forehead against the wood. My bag slipped from my shoulder and dropped to the floor with a dull thud I didn’t bother reacting to. My heels followed immediately, kicked off without care, one of them skidding toward the wall.I stayed there longer than necessary.When I finally pushed away from the door, my body protested immediately. My lower back was tight, my neck stiff, my jaw aching from hours of clenching. I rolled my shoulders once and winced, then exhaled slowly through my nose like I was trying to teach myself how to breathe again.“Okay,” I murmured to the empty apartment. “Okay, let’s do this.”Those words didn’t convince anyone.I fished my phone out of my coat pocket and scrolled without really looking, muscle memory taking over. When I saw Lois’s name, I didn’t hesitate. I hit call before I could sec

Martin’s lawyer was the first to move.He cleared his throat once, sharply, then placed a firm hand on Martin’s arm. “We need a moment,” he said, not asking. “Privately if you don’t mind.”Martin jerked his arm slightly but didn’t pull away. His eyes landed on Alex, filled with visible anguish and hatred.Alex didn’t object. He didn’t even say a word or give a damn. He gestured toward the door with two fingers, relaxed, already done with the argument.I stayed seated by his side.My back was already hurting, my hands flat on the table now, fingertips pressing into the polished wood. I stared down at the grain, at a faint scratch near the edge, anywhere but at Martin as he shoved his chair back. The scrape was loud and violent.Martin stood abruptly, jaw tight, face flushed. He didn’t look at me as he stormed toward the door. His lawyer followed quickly, murmuring something low and urgent as he steered him into the hallway.The door shut behind them and no one around me flinched

I knew there was something wrong with the conference room the moment I stepped inside it.For some strange reason I had been summoned yet again and ask to me in the conference which was too quiet that I could hear my own breathing in my ears. The long table in the room looked like it had just been polished a few minutes ago. It looked like the scene of a crime with how things were wiped down.Alex walked in beside me a few minutes later, his presence steady but restrained. He said nothing to me, not even a good morning and that was enough to let me know that he was still annoyed with how things had turned out. Our lawyer, Mr. Hart, moved ahead of us, before gesturing for all of us to sit “Good morning everyone,” Martin’s lawyer said after about an hour of waiting for him and Martin to arrive. “Forgive our tardiness.” “We’re here in the interest of resolving this matter privately, without unnecessary escalation.”“Privately,” Martin echoed, his eyes never leaving me. “Which is m
