The room was tense, so thick with silence that even the sound of the wall clock felt intrusive. Vivian sat on the edge of the sofa, her hands clasped together as though she were praying for strength. Anita stood at Jessica’s side, her face tight with suspicion toward everyone else in the room. Ethan leaned against the wall, arms folded, his jaw clenched while Brielle sat quietly, her eyes fixed on the envelope that Dr Lorey was holding.

The air shifted when the doctor finally opened the report. Her brows drew together the moment her eyes scanned the words. A flicker of disbelief flashed across her face.

“What is it?” Vivian asked, her voice low, careful.

Dr Lorey looked up slowly, eyes darting between Ethan, Brielle, and Jessica. “Something is wrong.”

Everyone in the room turned sharply toward her.

“What do you mean?” Ethan’s tone was controlled but firm, his gaze hardening.

Dr Lorey tapped the paper, her professional calm cracking just a little. “These results… they are not the same

    Two Days LaterA groan leaves Jessica’s lips as she stirs awake on the cold, hard floor, her body instantly recognizing the harsh sleeping environment. She tries to sit up but a sharp pain in her back forces her down. She hisses immediately, cursing Brielle and Ethan for putting her in this situation.“I’m pregnant for fuck’s sake. I shouldn’t be sleeping on the floor.” She grumbled, blinking the tears away.A ruffle is heard from the other side of the holding cell and a chuckle follows. “Then don’t commit crimes. If you care so much about your child, you wouldn’t have tried to kill someone.” An older lady who had been in the cell a few hours before her said, sounding annoyed at her groaning.Jessica rolled her eyes. “I don’t remember talking to you. Why don’t you mind your business?” She answered in an irritated tone then turned away.“I’ll watch my tone if I were you.” The woman said, feeling offended at Jessica’s words. “You wouldn’t want to get on my bad side. We might share a roo

    The police station smelled faintly of coffee and disinfectant, the usual blend of late nights and weary officers. Brielle sat across from Officer Joe, her hands clasped tightly in her lap, her knuckles pale from the pressure. Ethan stood beside her, his arms crossed, his tall frame tense with impatience.“Nothing?” Brielle’s voice broke, a fragile mix of disbelief and frustration.Joe sighed, sliding a folder across the table. “She must have known we’d try to check her phone. Every trace of data—messages, call history, apps—completely wiped. Whoever did it knew what they were doing.”Brielle’s heart sank. She leaned back in her chair, staring at the blank wall behind him. The image of Hannah’s bruised face, the sound of her fragile voice asking for help, rushed back into her mind. The phone was supposed to be their weapon, their chance to expose Jessica for what she had done. Now, it felt like sand slipping through her fingers.Ethan’s voice cut into the silence, low but sharp. “So yo

    The day was dragging on like a shadow that refused to lift. Brielle had barely managed to keep herself focused on her rounds at the hospital when her phone buzzed against the desk. She wiped her palms on her coat before picking it up, not prepared for the voice that came through.“Mrs. Rayne?”It was Officer Joe. His tone was low, firm, and Brielle’s heart lurched in her chest. “Yes, Officer. What’s wrong? Please tell me it’s not bad news again.”There was a pause, the kind of pause that carried weight. Then, he said, “Jessica Owen has been arrested. She’s in custody now.”For a long moment, Brielle simply sat frozen in her chair, the words replaying in her mind. Then, a sharp breath escaped her lips, and the relief hit her like cool rain on a scorching day. Her shoulders sagged as though someone had just removed a boulder from her chest.“Arrested?” she whispered, clutching the phone tighter. “Are you serious?”“I wouldn’t call if I wasn’t. We’ve gathered enough to hold her. Attempte

    Ethan had spent the entire morning pacing in his office, restless energy refusing to leave his body. For days, he had been waiting for this moment—waiting until the weight of Jessica’s manipulations no longer hovered over him like a storm cloud. Now, with the air a little clearer and his heart lighter, he decided it was time to do something he had not done in a long while: take Brielle out on a proper date. Not as an obligation, not as a performance for the world, but as a man who wanted to win back the woman who still haunted his every thought.When Brielle returned from her shift at the hospital, she found a large box waiting on her bed. She frowned, curiosity tightening her brows. Gently, she unwrapped it and gasped at the sight. Inside was a beautiful blue dress, elegant and soft to the touch, the kind of fabric that whispered against the skin like silk. Nestled beside it was a small velvet box. Opening it revealed a delicate set of jewelry: a silver chain, earrings, and a bracele

    The room was dim, and the heavy curtains were pulled across the windows. Brielle sat quietly on the edge of the guest bed. Jessica had come in like a thief in the night, moving like a ghost. But when Brielle’s sharp retort cut her down, Jessica’s eyes darted toward the door, realizing she was close to being exposed if Ethan walked in now.Almost instantly, her demeanor shifted, deciding to use a different approach. Her face twisted into a mask of outrage. “What are you even doing in my room?” she demanded, her voice rising as she began to shove Brielle toward the door. “Get out! You don’t belong here! This is my space, not yours!”Brielle caught herself, planting her feet firmly on the floor. “This is not your house, Jessica. You can’t order me around here.”Jessica’s hands pressed harder against Brielle’s shoulders, forcing her backward toward the edge of the bed. Brielle’s patience snapped. She shoved Jessica away from her. Jessica stumbled dramatically, falling to the floor with a
