RAE

I kept peeking my head into the cot every second to be sure he was breathing in his sleep. I was surrounded by some sort of paranoia me that felt like something was going to take him away from me. We both spent a while in the hospital. I was recovering from the accident trauma while he was growing slowly.

The first time I was allowed to breastfeed him, I cried. I couldn’t stop the tears. It felt unreal, like I didn’t deserve to hold something so fragile, so alive. I was forever gratefu

    The interview was even better than I would have wanted it to be.I watched him as he packed up his things to leave.“I have a question for you” Something suddenly struck my mind“What is it about?” He asked taking a glance at me“Why did you take down the article about Axel?” I asked “It was up for less than three hours”“Oh that” he laughed“It's just the nature of my job, sometimes people offer more” he said with a creepy smile“You don’t deny caring only about money?” I asked“That’s not true Miss Knight money isn’t the only thing I care about” he laughed “If you told me who you were that post wouldn’t have gone down so easily” I just rolled my eyes at him, people like him just spoil the images of others in that profession.“In case you have anything else to talk about, you can call me” he dropped his business card on the table“I would think about it” I picked up the card and threw it into my drawer“Have a great day, Miss Knight” he said before stepping out the door“You too Mr

    RAE“I knew you looked familiar” was the first thing the reporter said when he walked into my office“Hello, Peter Venberg” I responded with a greeting instead“Thanks for honouring my invitation” I said through my teethNot like he was going to miss an opportunity as big as that.“No thank you for bringing it to me” he smiled and took a seat before I could even offer him one“Can we begin” he took out a camera and set it up at an angle in the office, then he took out a notepad and pen ready to write. It felt like a police investigation.“May I ask why you requested a live interview?” he asked“Why not?” I shrugged, my reasoning for that was to make sure he doesn't tamper with it. All he cared about was money and I could see him running over to Axel to get paid and sabotage me. I was way ahead of him“Before we start, I have an offer” A smile grew on my face“I didn't take you to be a bargainer Miss Knight” he smiled like he knew what was coming“Then you got it wrong” I pulled out a

    LIANNA “Can you act like you want to be here?” I said through my teeth to Axel who had a big frown on his face.“I don't want to be here” he said“She was your fucking wife, if anything I shouldn't have to sit through this bullshit” I said looking straight ahead at the people trying to set up the camera for the interview I had to persuade Axel to do.“Don't even start” he glared at me“Not like I am telling a lie” I rolled my eyes, we were in front of a reporter and he was making me break character, the last thing I would want to see on the blog is us bickering.“If only you had gotten the report as I asked, we would have taken charge of the narrative but you never fucking listen” I had to say that with a straight face and without any reaction to show that I was extremely mad“I am not doing this with you again” he kicked the chair to the ground as he stood up and walked away calling the attention of everyone there. doing exactly what I feared would happen“Is everything okay? We wou

    I reached out to Peter Venberg, the messiest reporter known to exist. I sent the mail at exactly 1:10 am just past midnight “I am willing to share my story with words. Rae Knight.” The mail isn’t read, short and sweet, and less than thirty minutes later I got a response back from him telling me how he would love to meet first thing in the morning. You could hear the thirst through the reply.I wasn’t going to ditch work to go give an interview, but during my lunch hours was what worked best for me so that was what I settled for. He didn’t have a choice but to wait for my time.Leaving Theo every morning had to be the hardest thing ever. I wished I could tuck him into my pocket and carry him everywhere with me.“Hey baby” I picked him up when I saw he was already up“Mama has to go to work now and make us some money. I will be back with loads of hugs and kisses” I placed a kiss on his forehead and he let out the brightest smile ever warming my heart.He was what kept me going I heard

    I managed to survive the whole day.It took everything in me to keep my face straight, to keep my shoulders back, to act like I didn’t just have my family screaming outside my workplace on my first official day as director of the gallery.I couldn’t look anyone in the eye after that.So I locked myself in my office and drowned in work.Acquisition proposals, approving lighting plans for the east wing, responding to collectors about private viewing, going through artist contracts line by line, budgeting forecasts for the next quarter, and signing off on shipment insurance for two sculptures arriving from Berlin. Interviewing the new curatorial assistant HR had hired that morning before everything exploded. That was just a few things I had to get done before the end of the week. I buried myself in emails until the screen blurred.As relieving as it was to step outside and finally stand up to my family, to feel like I had won for once, it didn’t sit right with me that the drama followe

    I stepped out of the gallery and the cold air hit my face but it wasn’t as sharp as the embarrassment crawling on my skin.My mother was pushing against the security guard’s arm, her handbag swinging wildly as she tried to get past him.“I am her mother!” she kept saying. “You cannot keep me from my own daughter!”People had already stopped walking, phones were out in addition to the reporters that gathered in front, thankfully their numbers had reduced from what they were before. Jimmy and Josh stood behind her like backup. Jimmy was yelling about lawsuits and Josh kept telling the guard not to touch her.“Mom, stop it” I said and everything pausedThe guard froze mid-movement. My brothers turned and my mom’s hand dropped slowly from the guard’s sleeve.Her eyes landed on me, she stared at me long and hard, and just scoffed “Rae” she called with the strong look of disappointment she always had in her eyes.I guess something could never changeI looked at the guard. “It’s fine. I’ve

    AXEL I was seated in my office buried in work I needed to get rid of. I worked like I wasn’t the CEO of the damn company. My father made me work like a staff under his payroll, it got even worse when I got married to Lianna, as if it was his way of punishing me. He didn’t do anything to stop t

    AXEL It didnt feel real that she was gone just like that. I was convinced the constant calls from the hospital were all fabricated to blackmail me and I wasn’t buying it. I didn’t get any information maybe because I didn’t care to look but I guess she was really gone. I hated her presence

    RAEI saw myself walking in a dark alley; there was nothing behind me or ahead, so I kept going and going until I heard a noise behind me, like something chaotic was going on. I turned around and returned in the other direction. The noise got louder and louder until I could hear it beside me.A gas

    The whole time I cried the man stood beside me not saying a word. I didn’t realize I wasn’t alone until I turned around and saw him there just standing beside me. I wiped my eyes sitting in silence for a moment watching my baby move his little limbs.It felt odd calling him mine but he was mine. Mi
