Court proceedings had gone as smoothly as they could although they didn’t last long. Just thirty minutes after walking in, the judge had adjourned the case to a further date that would be communicated.

The day had gone by a little faster than I wanted it to and so when I parked my car to find Aaron’s already sitting in the garage, I found myself walking to his office. My legs walked briskly as if in hurry and the closer I got, the more my heart raced. I had a few more questions and it was the o

    Emma was grateful she had finished swallowing or else she knew for sure she would have choked on the food. Her eyes didn't meet him even though she felt the heat of his gaze. She couldn't bear to. He wasn't done, “I consider something of importance. You might have forgotten this is a contract but I definitely haven't and under that contract, your safety is of my importance" he dropped the cutlery, putting down any pretence. Except he knew it wasn't just the contract, he knew it was himself as well. He couldn't imagine her dying like… he didn't complete the thought. Emma found her footing quickly, "I know what it looks like but it isn't anything like that. Whoever it was drove recklessly and missed me by quite a distance, it only shook me up” it was half a lie. Aaron didn't believe her but now he knew why she had been pale earlier. "It doesn't matter how dangerous you perceive it but I must be told.”"How did you find out?” Even as she asked, she knew it was not her place. He open

    “Beautiful!" Lily's small voice said from behind both of them. She ran up to Emma, her eyes trailing the dress with childish excitement, "You look really beautiful Ms. Emma”Emma blushed red, her cheeks burning hot at the compliment. It was both Lily's words and Aaron's gaze, eliciting something in her. "Thank you” she looked at Lily's dress, just as pretty. "Somehow you look even prettier” she pouted playfully, "Even prettier than I do”Lily shrugged shyly, "I don't.” She went over to her father, sliding her hands into his. "Should we go daddy?”Aaron finally looked away from Emma, especially the thighs open to him, "Won't daddy get any compliment?” He swung his hair to the right, "I tried my best to look pretty for you” he teased. Both Emma and Lily laughed, the sound of their sweet giggles pleased Aaron that for a moment he had forgotten about the accident. "You look handsome daddy” Lily told him before pulling his arms down the stairs. "You as well” he reached back for Emma's ha

    Aaron’s phone buzzed, awaking the quiet office. He felt cramps in his legs and he stood up, taking his phone with him. He didn’t know when last he had gotten up for hours. There was a message from Ben, the guard he had asked to follow Emma.“She’s back now sir, here is where she went to” there was a picture attached and an address as well. Aaron felt himself relax when he saw what it was. “Oh” he said to himself, not sure what he had been expecting but definitely not this. He typed a message back, “Don’t stop following her” even if it had just been Marie’s house, he didn’t want to be caught off guard. Aaron decided to log into his email to see if there was anything new and that was when he saw it. “From the High Family Court of the City:” he was quick to open it, eager to see what it was now.Except when he read the message, a smile spread on his face. It hadn’t even been a day since he told his grandfather and here it was. A letter forwarded from the lawyer from the court agreeing

    It was his name on the news, One Aaron had come to dread that took his attention there. He took the remote and turned the volume up higher to hear what was being said. Hearing his own name was hardly ever good news recently and he wasn’t wrong.“Rumors of Aaron’s Blake’s absence at the court, refusing to show up on his court date have made their rumors and today our correspondent’s confirmed that, over to him” The camera panned to someone else standing in front of the court, bold in black behind him, “Good evening and indeed, today we confirmed that Aaron Blake has made two appeals to not show up in court, is this perhaps evidence of his guilt in his wife’s death and trying to deprive her family of their grand daughter”Aaron’s jaw clenched in anger, he turned the screen off, throwing the remote on the wall, ignoring the crack as it broke. He was boiling with so much rage that he felt his head throb with it. Of all the things he had to deal with, this was the last thing he wanted to

    Author’s POV Aaron waited a moment just to make sure he had heard right. He couldn’t help but ask again, “What?” His lawyer repeated the words slower like he was some kind of kid, “The judge rejected our plea for adjournment, apparently he doesn’t see a need for it because the kid doesn’t need to be in court and even if she did, she wouldn’t be put under enough pressure to warrant any serious medical care” Aaron’s hands tightened into fists beside him. He couldn’t believe it, the words seemed like they were something foreign, something he had never heard. “You said we had very good grounds” he repeated. The lawyer cleared his throat, “And I really I thought I did because they are good grounds but maybe I forgot to mention the judge plays a very important part as well” “Can’t we appeal” he asked, searching for a life buoy. He sighed, “Of course we can but realistically that would waste more time than needed, more than we should want to..” he trailed off. Aaron waved a hand, he

    I found myself rushing up the stairs, my feet were acting independent of my body. I pushed the door open and rushed in to find her holding a pillow to her chest, eyes red with tears and staring at the bed in fear. “What happened baby?” I asked softly, not wanting to add to her fear. She pointed at the bed and that was when I looked at it closely enough to see the reason for her scream. My heart started to pound heavily in my chest the closer I looked. “A bird” I said to myself. But of course Lily heard me. “It’s dead daddy, broken and dead. Look at it, soo much blood” she was shaking when I took her in my arms, muttering words of comfort into her ears as I tried to soothe her. I heard someone come from behind me but the pads of her soft slippers told me who it was before she spoke, “What the-” Emma stopped herself. “Jesus, how did this happen?” her voice shook slightly and I heard the fear in it. She was trying not to make it obvious but it was very much so. “As you can see, I
