Mia's POV

My heart pounded so loudly in my chest that it felt like it would burst.So this is how it ends, I thought.“So this is how I will die… I’m sure Emily and Nicholas would be happy by now,” my mind whispered cruelly to me.Tears filled my eyes instantly as those thoughts crashed into me.

I tried to compose myself as I slowly walked out of the hospital, my legs trembling beneath me, my heart pounding so loudly that I was sure everyone around could hear it.“Go and pack your things out of my house, you murderer!”Nicholas’s voice rang behind me, sharp and venomous, cutting through me like a blade. I froze for a second, my breath hitching, before forcing myself to keep walking. Turning back would only make things worse.Tears blurred my vision as I staggered forward.
