The words hit her like a physical blow. Brielle shot to her feet, her knees weakening as though the floor had been pulled from beneath her. Ella, who was in the living room sensed that something was wrong and jumped to her feet, heading to the kitchen with worry plastered onto her soft features.

“What are you talking about? What do you mean by dead?” Brielle’s voice cracked. “How? How on earth did that happen? She was fine a few hours ago when I visited so what are you talking about?”

Brielle’s mind spun with confusion. She wondered how anyone could die in a police station. It made no sense.

Officer Joe exhaled. “She was being transferred to a holding cell just after you left. The transport van was attacked on the way. A group opened fire. Hannah was shot in the head and she died instantly. We are ruling this as gang retaliation because that’s the only reasonable explanation.”

Brielle’s free hand pressed to her mouth, stifling a sob. Tears blurred her vision, spilling hot down her che

    The cemetery was hushed, the only sound the low murmur of prayers and the faint rustle of wind through the trees. Hannah’s funeral was small, modest, almost painfully so. A few neighbors stood off to the side, some nurses from the hospital clutched tissues, and a few doctors bowed their heads in solemn silence. At the center were Hannah’s parents, faces etched with grief so deep it seemed to hollow out their bodies.Brielle stood at the edge of the gathering, her hands clasped tightly in front of her, her chest aching at the sight of them. They had no idea. To them, Hannah was still the sweet daughter who had stumbled into bad company, caught in tragedy far beyond her. They would never know the weight of what she carried before she died. At least, not yet.The priest spoke softly, his words of comfort almost drowned out by the sound of muffled sobbing. The air was heavy with grief, thick enough to suffocate. Brielle blinked against the sting in her eyes, her throat tightening as the c

    Ethan, Brielle, and Jessica left the Rayne mansion at the same time. Jessica strolled with her head held high at the front while Ethan walked with his hands in a fist as though he wanted to punch her.Brielle, on the other hand, walked slowly, various thoughts going through her mind. She didn’t know who to trust anymore or what to believe.“I’ll drop you off,” Ethan said but before Brielle could respond, Jessica was already standing at the door to the passenger seat.“What are you doing?” Ethan asked with a look of irritation when he saw her standing at the door.“Going home with you? You heard Raymond, didn’t you? You’re taking care of me until it is proven that this child isn’t yours.” She responded with a taunting smile.“If you think I’m letting you walk back into my house after that stunt you just pulled then you must really be delusional. All Dad said was that I had to take care of you. He didn’t say you had to stay in my house so, Jessica, do not even think about coming here. M

    Jessica’s head shot up immediately, her eyes wide open.“W-what?” She whispered.Brielle and Ethan exchanged looks, both confused at the sudden revelation. It made no sense. Ethan was sure he was right about Jessica not being pregnant so he wondered what was happening.Meanwhile, the seed of doubt had been planted in Brielle’s mind. She wondered if Ethan had been lying to her all along.“Are you certain?” Vivian asked, her eyes filled with a final hope. But, as soon as Yyvonne nodded, it shattered into pieces.Vivian slumped on the couch, her hand over her head in pain.Jessica, on the other hand was the most shocked in the room. She knew she wasn’t pregnant. Ethan hadn’t slept with her in almost seven months so what was happening?While she was unsure of how the child got there, one thing was certain. She was using this to her advantage.God had heard her cry and had given her a second chance.With her shoulders now held high, she turned to both Ethan and Brielle. “Are you satisfied

    Jessica’s blood went cold, her hands trembling as fear filled her. Her throat went dry and no matter how much she drank from the glass before her, it didn’t make a difference. She had broken into cold sweat despite the working air conditioner in the room. Her mind raced with various thoughts on how to get out of the situation. In this moment, she didn’t care about being Ethan’s wife anymore. She just wanted to leave the house and save her head. “Jessica?” Brielle’s voice pulled her out of her daze, causing her to jerk in response. She turned her head to the side quickly, her eyes wide open. “Y-yes.” She stuttered.“Are you okay? You look sick.” Brielle asked, holding in her smirk. She could tell that Jessica’s nerves were getting the better of her from hearing the news. She probably didn’t expect Vivian to act so quickly. It was a shame! Especially since she almost killed nurse joy just to keep the same truth hidden.“Yeah, I’m good. I just feel a little dizzy.” Jessica resp

    THE NEXT DAYBrielle left Ethan’s house early. She had gotten a phone call from Officer Joe, letting her know that he had returned from his trip and was at the station. She took a taxi, refusing Ethan’s countless pleas to drop her off. When she arrived at the station, it was as busy as usual and there were more officers than before. This time, she didn’t need to introduce herself for them to know who she was. After the incident with Officer Gary, the other officers had taken note of her face so, as soon as she entered, a female officer rushed to her with a broad smile. “Mrs Rayne!” She greeted politely. “Are you here to see Miss Hannah?” “Hello.” Brielle responded with a confused but grateful look. “No. I’m here to see officer Joe this time.” She answered and the woman nodded. “Alright! I’ll go get him for you.” She responded and walked away but, not before providing her with a place to sit. Five minutes later, officer Joe walked out in a casual outfit and a coffee in han
