The psychiatric wind of the prison was cold, clinical. The walls were painted a dull gray, the air thick with the sterile scent of disinfectant. Every step down the hallway felt heavier than the last, as if some invisible forces was pushing her back, telling her to turn around.

But she didn't.

A guard led her into a separate observation room, where a thick pane of bulletproof glass separated her from Sarian Martin.

The woman sitting in the padded cell was a ghost of who she had been.

Gone was the polished, confident Sarian who once walked into a room owning it.

This Sarian was frail. Her once flawless hair hung in uneven stands, her nails bitten down to nothing. She sat on the floor, rocking back and forth, her knees pulled to her chest.

And her lips…..

They never stopped moving.

Sophia knew what she was saying before she even heard it.

“ Sophia…. Sophia…. Sophia.”

A chill ran through her spine.

Sarian hadn't even noticed her yet. She was lost in her own world, whispering Sophia's nam

    Sophia sighed as she pulled into the driveway, rubbing her temples. Work had been brutal today back-to-back meetings, endless reports, and malfunctioning coffee machine that had nearly driven her over the edge. All she wanted was to kick off her heels, change into sweatpants and curl up on the couch with Raven. But the moment she opened the door, she froze. The entire house was bathed in warm golden candlelight. The air was thick with the scent of fresh roses, and read, pink, white petals created a soft, delicate path across the floor. Tiny fairly lights twinkled around the living room, casting a magical glow. Sophia's heart pounded. What was going on? She stepped inside cautiously, her eyes scanning the room. The familiar space now looked like something out of a fairly take. Then— “ Mommy, Mommy!” Raven came running full speed toward her,hi face glowing with excitement. Sophia barely had time to brace herself before her little boy wrapped his arms around her leg, squeezing t

    The court psychiatrist leaned in and whispered something to the Judge. The judge nodded grimly before hanging his gavel.“ Enough,” he said. His voice was final. “ The defendant will undergo a full psychological evaluation.”As the guards dragged Sarian from the courtroom, her screams echoed off the walls.“ This isn't over, Sophia!” She shrieked. “ You hear me? IT'S NOT OVER!”But it was.Two weeks later, the courtroom was silent as the judge read the final decision.“Miss Sarian Martin, the court finds you guilty on all counts,” he declared.Murmurs spread through the room. Sarian sat, expression blank, her fingers twitching.“ For the crimes of attempted murder, conspiracy and the murder of Daniel Steele, you're sentence to thirty five years In a high security psychiatric prison.@Sarian didn't move.The bailiffs approached, preparing to escort her away.That was when she began to laugh. Soft at first. Then louder.She threw her head back, cackling. It was the laugh of someone trul

    A sharp cry.Not Sophia and Ethan moved closer just in time to see Sarian thrashing against the officers restraining her. But something was different now. Gone was the cold, calculating woman who had threatened Sophia moments ago. In her place was someone frantic, unhinged someone unraveling before their eyes.“ No! No, Sophia is the real culprit!” Sarian shrieked, her voice rising in hysteria. “ You should arrest her! She took everything from me!”Sophia's breath caught in her throat as she watched Sarian's wild eyes dart between her and Ethan. It was as if something inside Sarian had finally cracked, something that had been holding her together just long enough to get to this point.Ethan tensed beside her, his jaw locking as Sarian's attention snapped to him “ Ethan—” she pleaded, her voice turning desperate. “ Ethan, tell them! Don't let Sophia take everything from me! You know you still love me! I know you do! She came between us! She ruined everything! She—”Her words choked of

    Sarian's breath came in sharp, ragged gasps as she glared at Sophia, her eyes burning with pure hatred. Her fingers twitched as if itching to grab the gun again, the Ethan stood between them now, his stance rigid, protective.“ You should have stayed away from me and my family,” Sophia said, stepping closer her voice like ice. “ You should have accepted Ethan's offer and left to start over.”Sarian let out a bitter laugh, her face twisting in anger. “ Start over?” She spat. “ While you get to have everything? While I'm left with nothing?”Sophia's jaw clenched. Enough.Without warning, she struck her palm against Sarian's cheek in a sharp, resounding slap. Sarian's head snapped to the side, but before she could react, another slap landed, harder, making her stumble slightly.“ Don't ever mess with my family,” she warned, her voice low and deadly. “ Next time, there will be no next cause you won't even get the opportunity to do that.”Sarian's lips curled into a sneer, but she said not
