Miracle on Hollow Peak IT HAS BEGUN!
KIRA“What the hell is this, Alana?” I asked, reading an envelope that clearly said someone summoned me to Court. I didn’t even have to open it to figure out what was inside. Alana was standing in front of me at the kitchen table sipping coffee. I skipped work, and she did, too. She didn’t want to leave me alone. “Alana, I don’t know what to do. I just received this envelope from the court and it’s a citation in my name,” I said in a panic.“What? What does it say?” she asked.“Gabriel is petitioning me for full custody of Maddie. The man is crazy.” “Oh my God! Ok, we knew this would happen. Are you ok with this?” “No, I’m not okay. I’m freaking out. There is nothing I can do. I feel like I’m going to lose Maddie.” I said, and tears started welling up in my eyes.“Kira, you need to stay calm. The best thing to do right now is to contact Mark. You need to tell him everything from the day you conceived Maddie until you kicked Gabriel out of your life. He will know what to do and how
Miracle on Hollow Peak REMOVING HIM
KIRA“OK, Mark, I will tell you everything that happened between me and Gabriel,” I said, acknowledging that if I wanted this to work, I would have to be totally honest with him. “Of course, Kira. You can trust me. Tell me all about it!” he said, giving me the exact confidence I needed.“Well, it all started when I first met Gabriel. He was my direct manager, and I was immediately wary of him because of his reputation as a womanizer. But over time, I fell for him.” I started gulping a few times, thinking of how stupid I was.“I see. And what happened next?” “One day, Gabriel made advances on me, and I resisted at first. But eventually, I gave in, and we started a relationship. It was intense, and we even went on Hollow Peak for Christmas five years ago, where Maddie was conceived. But that you already know. It was then that my decline begun” “I know, no need to remember that time again. One question is bothering me. I could tell you loved him, Kira. Why did you decide to leave Gabr
Miracle on Hollow Peak MY HEART INTO PIECES
KIRA “Good morning everyone. This is the custody trial for young Maddie Reed. We have Mrs. Reed’s lawyer, Mr. Mark Johnson, and Mr. Gabriel Bates’ lawyer, Miss. Cindy Melling. And of course, we have Miss Kira Reed and Mr. Gabriel Bates, the two parents, and little Maddie, the child who is the subject of this custody dispute. Miss Reed, would you like to begin?” Judge Smith said, and my heart jumped. I didn’t expect to be the first to start. Let the battle begin. “Thank you, your honor. I want to start by saying that I am a good and respectable mother. I have always put Maddie’s needs first, even when Gabriel and I were together. However, Gabriel was quick-tempered and a womanizer. That is why I left him, even though I was already pregnant.” I started in a determined voice. “Objection, Your Honor. These claims are unfounded and irrelevant.” Gabriel’s lawyer intervened. “Overruled, Miss Melling. Please, Miss Reed, you may continue.” Judge Smith interrupted Gabriel’s lawyer. “Thank
Miracle on Hollow Peak ONE DAY...
KIRAI couldn’t believe it. After everything that had happened, after all the time and effort and love that I had poured into raising Maddie, the judge ruled that Gabriel would have full custody. I felt like I’d been hit with a ton of bricks. I felt lost, confused, and angry.And that was when I lost it.“No, how can you do that?” I snapped angrily and right when I wanted to leave my seat Mark stopped me.“Kira, behave yourself. We will appeal” “Appeal what? This heartless judge just ruined Maddie’s life and mine. Why? Don’t you have children?” I yelled pounding my fists on the table.“Bailiff, please escort Miss Reed outside,” I heard the judge say and as much as I struggled I was no match for the man kicking me out. Only my little girl’s face remained engraved in my mind, crying helplessly.How could the judge make such a decision? Didn’t he understand how much Maddie meant to me, how much I had sacrificed for her? Didn’t he see how much I loved her, how much I’d tried to provide
Miracle on Hollow Peak OUR FIRTS DAY
GABRIELI couldn’t believe it. After months of fighting, the court had finally granted me full custody of Maddie. I should be elated, ecstatic even, but I couldn’t shake this feeling of unease. Winning custody meant that Maddie would live with me full time, and that was all I ever wanted. But at what cost?Kira, the woman I loved, had been devastated since the ruling. I had never seen her so defeated before. And it was all because of me. I knew I fought hard for Maddie, but I couldn’t help feeling guilty. Kira was Maddie’s mother, and she deserved to be in her daughter’s life. But she made that choice when she withheld Maddie’s identity from me. How was I supposed to raise a child I didn’t even know existed?I tried to be fair. She didn’t want me in Maddie’s life, and that hurt. I couldn’t understand why she would deny me the chance to be a part of my own daughter’s life. So I fought for full custody, and I won. Maddie was going to grow up without her mother. That was not something I
Miracle on Hollow Peak TIME TO PLAY
KIRA I never thought it would come to this. Losing custody of Maddie to Gabriel was the last thing I expected. I thought I was doing everything right, but the judge saw things differently. Now, my life had taken a turn for the worse, and I couldn’t seem to get back on track. The depression had been deepening since I lost Maddie. I felt like a part of me was missing, and no matter what I did, I couldn’t fill that void. The emptiness in my heart was suffocating, like I was drowning in my own despair. I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t eat, and I could barely function. It was so damn hard to imagine a life without Maddie. She was the reason I woke up in the morning and the last thing I thought about before I went to bed. Losing her like that was like losing a piece of my soul, and I didn’t know how to move on. Every day felt like an eternity, and the pain was unbearable. But I knew I had to do something with my time or I was definitely going to lose my mind. So, I filled my days with distra
Miracle on Hollow Peak NEVER LET HER GO AGAIN
KIRAAs I approached the Melting Pot restaurant, I noticed the modern, yet cozy exterior. The building was a mix of brick and dark wood paneling, giving it a rustic yet refined feel. The large glass windows wrapped around the front of the restaurant gave me a glimpse of the lively atmosphere inside.Above the entrance, a wooden sign with the words “The Melting Pot” in bold letters caught my eye. As I got closer, the smell of fresh herbs and spices wafted through the air, signaling the restaurant’s dedication to flavor and quality.On either side of the entrance, large potted plants added a touch of greenery to the sidewalk. They filled the outdoor seating area with comfortable chairs and tables, inviting you to take a seat and enjoy a meal alfresco.As I stepped inside, a warm and welcoming atmosphere greeted me, with soft lighting and cozy seating areas. The décor was a mix of modern and rustic, with exposed brick walls and wooden accents throughout. I could hear the hustle and bustl
Miracle on Hollow Peak BLEEDING HEART
KIRAIt surprised me when the next day I received an unexpected phone call. The truth was, I was a bit annoyed with him and didn’t want to answer his messages. But this time I did.“Hey Kira, it’s been a while since we last talked. How have you been?” said Mark with joy in his voice.“Hi Mark, I’m doing okay. Just been keeping busy with work and stuff. How about you?” “Same here. But hey, I was thinking, since it’s been so long since we hung out, maybe we could grab a drink or something today? Just for old times’ sake?” he asked, and I suddenly was at a loss for words. Remembering he was a part of my losing Maddie stopped me from answering right away. Eventually I did.“I don’t know Mark. We haven’t talked in a while, and there were some misunderstandings between us before. You know, the trial and stuff” “I know, and that’s exactly why I want to meet up. It’s time to bury the hatchet and move on from the past. I miss our friendship, Kira. We’ve known each other since we were teenag
