EMILYThe drive to the hospital felt longer than it actually was.I sat impatiently in the car, checking the time every few minutes until Jarvis finally told me to stop.“Mum, staring at your watch isn't going to make Peter drive faster.”“Shutup,son.”By the time we reached the hospital, I was out of the car before Peter could properly park.“Mum,” Donald called after me.“Hurry up!”We went straight to Elvis's floor.My heart was racing again as we approached his room.The door was partly open.A doctor and two nurses were inside, and there he was. Sitting up against the pillows fully awake. His eyes were actually open.“Elvis.”He turned towards my voice.I didn't wait for anyone to tell me whether I could go near him.I rushed across the room and wrapped my arms around him, careful not to squeeze too tightly.“Oh my, Elvis.”I buried my face against him.“You scared me. You scared the hell out of me.”“Emily…”“I thought you would never wake up again.”My eyes were already wet. I

EMILYAnother Sunday morning of pretending everything was all right.I sat in the living room with a cup of tea I had barely touched, scrolling through my phone when the front door opened.Doris walked in.Where she was coming from this early on a Sunday morning was something only she and God knew.She shut the door behind her and adjusted the small bag hanging from her shoulder.“Good morning, Emily. You good?”Here we go again.All that friendliness, fake smiles, the little attempts at conversation whenever we found ourselves in the same room.Heaven knew how much patience I'd developed over the past five months.I smiled back.“Yes, I'm good.”Her steps were much steadier now, but I still noticed the care she took with them.“I think you should take it easy. You only recently stopped using your walking aid.”“Don't worry. I'm fine.”She walked further into the room.“After Uncle Moses died, I've learnt to conquer my fear.”My fingers tightened around my cup.Even after five months,

HAZELI picked up the first picture.My stomach turned.Grace's back was covered in injuries. Some looked older than others, but there were enough marks to make me wonder how anyone could have seen her like this and believed everything was fine.I moved to the next picture.Grace looked completely different.Her hair was tangled, her clothes untidy, and there was an emptiness in her eyes that made her look like she hadn't slept properly in weeks.Another photograph showed injuries around her thighs and intimate area.I dropped it immediately.“Oh my God.”My fingers went to my mouth.“He did all of this?”Amelia didn't answer.“Why isn't he rotting in jail? She had evidence. All these pictures alone…”“We'll get to that part.”I looked at the photographs scattered in front of me.How?How did someone do this to another human being and continue living normally?Amelia pulled in a breath.“Sending her to the psychiatric facility wasn't enough. The next news we got was that she had cance

HAZELMy fingers wouldn't stop fidgeting.I finally pushed both hands between my thighs just to keep them still.To think I'd unknowingly exposed my daughter to this man.I'd left Maya alone with him countless times without a single worry because I trusted him completely.Now I was sitting across from a woman telling me he'd killed his wife.“Tell me everything,” I said.Amelia took a breath.“My sister fell in love with him and married him. Little did she know she'd walked straight into the devil's den.”She glanced down at the table.“Their love story was almost perfect in the beginning. William was everything. Meek, kind, attentive, always there whenever Grace needed him.”She snorted.“To think I envied their love.”Her voice cracked slightly.“Eventually, they got married. Things were still good for a while, until William became possessive of her. At first, we thought it was just jealousy. You know, a newly married man obsessed with his beautiful wife.”I swallowed.“But it kept

HAZELThere was no name attached to the message.I quickly turned my phone towards Mum.“Look.”She took it from me and read the message again.“Who could that be?”“I have no idea.”Another message came in before I could take the phone back.Mum opened it.‘I am Amelia. William's late wife was my sister. I need to tell you something. Please, don't allow history to repeat itself. William is more dangerous than you think.’Both of us were dumbfounded. I took the phone from Mum and read it myself.William's late wife. My arms broke out in goosebumps.It felt like the message was about some other man. Not the William I'd lived with. Not the man who'd cooked for me, helped me with Maya and spent years behaving like he wouldn't hurt a fly.“What does she mean by history repeating itself?”“I don't know.”Mum reached for her own phone.“I think you should meet her.”I looked at her.“In an open place,” she added. “Somewhere busy. Don't go anywhere private with a stranger because of one mess

HAZEL“It’s a long story.”Mum sat opposite me while Maya slept peacefully on the sofa, surrounded by cushions.“I have time,” she said.So did I.I told her what mattered, starting with William and the first DNA result.Her face changed when I told her he claimed we'd slept together while drunk.“He told you what?”“Let me finish.”She pressed her lips together and nodded.I continued.I told her about the three other DNA tests. How every single one excluded William as Maya’s father. How he'd been the one to plant the original doubt through Betty before arranging the first test.Then I told her about this morning's New Zealand announcement, the insistence that Maya was his daughter, and the strange comments about my mental health.By the time I got to what happened at the childcare centre, Mum was no longer sitting comfortably.She had moved to the edge of the sofa.“He actually told people you need medication?”“He made sure they heard him.”“And this was after threatening to protec
