The lights were off, save the soft amber glow of the small lamp on the table and the light coming from Shawn's laptop.

He was looking really devastated. After everything, he had prepared to expose his uncle, Victor, and Norman, for good. He lost his chance, and he put Eva and his unborn child in danger.

He rubbed his palm on his face and groaned. “I'm really sorry, Eva. I should have seen this coming.”

He picked up her photo frame on the table and gazed at it , the image seared into his brain. He imagined how she's been treated and how frightened she might be.

“Please hold on, Eva. I'll find you.”

He stopped sulking and picked up his phone to dial a contact. It rang three times before the person answered

"Neil. I need help. Now." Shawn said immediately.

"Shawn? It's late. Nice to hear from you, too.” The person on the other end teased.

"I'm sorry for calling you at this hour, but I really need your help. I need you to trace a number for me.” Shawn went straight to the point.

    Ashley's eyes darted to Jonathan, “My father-in-law, Jonathan Darlington, had been secretly investigating the case, and he was able to trace it back to me. He confronted me, and I couldn't hide it anymore.” She swallowed,“I told him the truth about what I did to Eva to protect her and he told me that the only way to make it right and atone for my sins was to be a witness and expose the truth today.” She concludedJonathan Darlington lowered his head, his eyes filled with regrets Norman was paralysed, and his eyes darted to Jonathan Darlington, filled with shock, “Grandfather knew? He has been secretly investigating from the beginning. He pretended that he didn't care. Was he deceiving us all along?” The fear was evident in Norman's voice as he spoke to his father. Victor's face twisted in rage, veins bulging at his neck. “Lies! All lies!” He bellowed, surging to his feet. “How could you do this, Ashley? You joined hands with them to destroy your own family and save yourself!” The

    Norman's voice broke into a choked stutter as Ashley walked by, “Mum…what are you doing?” Ashley ignored him and continued walking forward. Victor's gaze darkened, and he rose up with fury boiling in his chest, “Ashley knows nothing about this,” he barked, “This is a set up, it's outrageous. She shouldn't be dragged into this circus,” The judge slammed the gravel, cutting through Victor's voice, “Order in the court,” Victor's Lawyer turned to him with a warning glare, “Sit down, Mr Darlington, you'll only make things worse if you lash out now,”But Victor refused to sit, his voice rose higher, “She's my wife, I know what she knows, she won't be a pawn in this farce.” Ashley's eyes, as cold as ice, snapped towards Victor, and for the first time, her voice rose with power that silenced even Victor;“Enough Victor!” She roared with venom dripping from her voice, “You made me silent for too long, not anymore.” Gasps echoed in the room, and even Norman flinched at the sound of his mot

    “I have to go, Daniel. Send my regards to Nicole and Maya,” Shawn concluded,Daniel responded immediately, “Sure.”Shawn hung up the call and slid the phone back in his pocket.“Eva is doing fine. You have nothing to worry about,” Shawn said to Eleanor and Richard.Richard nodded with satisfaction, “You said you know him personally, right?” He asked. “Yes, we attended business school together, and he decided to settle in Atlantic Georgia after he got married.” He responded, “They have a four year old daughter, and Eva is really bonding with her.” Eleanor was sitting on the couch, looking at the pictures and videos of Eva and Maya on Richard's phone, “Look at her smile, she looks so happy,” her voice cracked, “I'm so glad she's doing okay. I was worried that she'll be all alone.” “Thanks Shawn,” Richard turned to Shawn, “We'll finally see the end of this tomorrow after the court trial,” Shawn nodded, “Yeah, see you both in court tomorrow. I'll take my leave now,” He bid goodbye to

    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,
