The ride home was silent as Ryan drove Ava home in her car

Ava's knuckles were whitening as her fist clenched on her laps. She could hear the sound of her heartbeat as she thought about what she was going to face when she got home.

Ryan gripped tightly on the steering wheel, jaws clenched in a hard line. He was furious and seething, but beneath the anger was something else. He was supposed to be angry and yelling at her, but all he felt was pity for her.

She could feel it also, she hated being treated like that- being vulnerable and pitied but that was the only thing she could hold on to now.

"Are you ready?" Ryan finally said, rolling up in front of the Wadsley house. The house loomed above, the lights flickered through the windows but not stopping the storm raging in Ava's brain.

Her head was spinning, she let out in a soft tone "No." She shivered, her voice quivering. "But do I have a choice?”

Ryan sighed and relaxed back into his seat. "You always have a choice in every decision,

    Two weeks passed, and Eva took up the responsibility of preparing Maya for school almost every morning. She'd grown attached to the little girl that it almost felt like she was her daughter. Daniel and Nicole also lived like they had two daughters. Eva had always ordered food or cooked fast foods before they came, but Daniel always included hers in every meal he prepared that she had no reason to cook or order food anymore. They treated her like a family, and she was always grateful to them. She had thought she was going to live a lonely life in Atlantic Georgia, but this family came as a ray of sunshine in her clouded life like a Godsent. She felt bad because she felt like she was living off them, but Daniel always insisted, and Maya was just too cute and lovely to be refused. Maya always does all her school homework with Eva and ends up sleeping there with her. “She looks so pretty. I hope my baby will be pretty too.” Eva muttered, her hands rubbing Maya's cheeks as she watche

    The three tiny knocks echoed in Eva's apartment, just the way she had heard them every day for a week. She found herself smiling as she opened the door and found Maya standing in front of her with a school backpack, sliding halfway off her shoulder. Maya is her new neighbours four year old daughter. She's like a breath of fresh air to Eva, pretty and smart. “Please, I need your help with my math homework,” she blinked her puppy eyes and pouted, “Please…” It all started when Nicole invited her to dinner at their place, and Maya was struggling with her drawings. Eva decided to help her and guided her through it. Maya came back home the next day from school and went straight to Eva's door, she jumped into her arms immediately she opened the door and told her that she got an overall score on her art assignment. “You are the best, auntie,” She said and hugged Eva tightly. She continued doing all her homework in Eva's apartment since then. Daniel opened the door, and his voice drif

    The only thing Eva felt after settling in her apartment in Atlantic Georgia was quietness and loneliness. No constant checking up from her mother, Ava always trying to indulge her in conversations and building their relationship again, Ryan always coming around to lighten the mood, The sound of cars in the compound anytime her father leaves and comes back home and always coming to see her before going to bed and telling her how he'll never let anyone get away with hurting her or let anyone hurt her again,Just the muted hum of the air conditioner, the occasional bird chirping outside, and the low drone of traffic somewhere far beyond the quiet little neighbourhood she called home,She leaned back into her cream- coloured couch, and her eyes flickered to the window. “It's not that bad here,” she mumbled,Her apartment was modern, clean, and warm. She was safe here, far from home and far from threat “This is for the best,” She told herself for the hundredth time since she moved in,

    “Richard…” Eleanor’s voice cracked.Daine stepped between her and Ava. She placed her hands on their shoulders, “It's probably for the best. The faster we solve all these and take care of every threat, Eva would be able to come home. Safely.” “I suppose,” Eleanor whispered slowly, while Ava just remained silent and walked away to her room. Every one of them watched her walk up the stairs with a pitiful expression on their faces.Richard moved closer to Eleanor and tried to hold, but she pulled away without looking at him. Richard sighed and whispered to her, “You know how much I love our daughters, right? I want Eva to come back, too, but I want her to be safe, I can't watch my daughter continue to live in fear.” Tears were already streaming down Eleanor’s eyes. She nodded, “I understand,” her voice broke into sobs. Richard pulled her into a hug, and she didn't pull away this time. She just cried on his chest, “I just miss her so much, and I want to see her and hold her again. My

    Richard's car halted in the parking space of Wadsley's mansion, Henry's car right behind it. Both men stepped out of the car and walked towards the front door with a sense of urgency,The door was widely opened. Eleanor was standing in the doorway anxiously, and Daine hovered behind her. They were both waiting for Richard and Henry to walk in as they had already seen the two cars drove in towards the parking space. Henry and Richard came into sight, and both women's eyes lit up. They quickly ushered them in with a sense of excitement and desperation. Shawn and Ryan were seated, and they stood up immediately to greet Henry and Richard. Richard walked towards them and tapped on Shawn and Ryan's shoulders, “Thank you so much,” he said with sincerity and gratitude. “You don't need to thank us, sir. It's my duty to make sure Eva is safe,” Shawn responded. Ryan nodded in agreement, “Yes Uncle. Eva is practically my sister, I can't relax when I know she's alone out there.” “We should

    There was a heavy silence, and all eyes were on Officer Greg.“I mean… yes, James is in my investigation team,” Officer Greg responded, looking indifferent. Wilson narrowed his eyes on him, “Then what the hell is he doing here?” he pointed to the guard groaning on the floor. “I'm just as shocked to hear this as you are,” his eyes darted between the guard and Wilson, “Are you sure that this isn't a misunderstanding?” He corked his brow. Wilson shook his head and spoke with conviction, “He was standing there long enough for me to move out of my seat and carefully shot to prevent him from running.” Greg looked at the guard, and he kept his head down with nothing to defend himself. Greg looked at the gathered audience, “Get back to your stations,” he ordered, “You and you, take him to the medic and lock him up after the treatment.” he pointed to two guards. The audience dispatched with murmurs, and the two guards bowed to his orders before moving to lift the injured guard from the f
