I kept my gaze on Frank and Alex, watching as they exchanged stunned glances.

I even noticed Frank swallow hard before finally meeting my eyes.

"We... we’re sorry if we disrupted your morning," he said carefully. "But at least let us take the kids to school—"

"No. We can manage."

I cut him off again and let out a long, weary breath.

"And it seems like you didn’t fully understand what I just said."

I held their gazes, steady and unflinching.

"I said I need peace right now. And honestly? I haven’t had any in the past two weeks—ever since you started showing up out of nowhere."

I could see the flicker of confusion and discomfort slowly registering on their faces.

"The kids and I have been doing just fine on our own. Taking them to school is the least of it. So it’s better if you just leave."

They both looked taken aback—like my words were only now beginning to sink in.

"But... we came here hoping to talk to you..." Frank said seriously.

I clenched the fabric of my shirt, trying to steady

  • She Writes Her Own Heartbeat    Chapter 179

    Victoria’s brows furrowed the moment she heard that irritating voice again—James, the new boy in their class who had transferred to their school just a few weeks ago."Hahaha! Of course they don’t have a dad! I even heard from my mom that they’re adopted. Just look at them—they look nothing like their mom!"Another classmate chimed in—someone who never used to bully them before. But ever since James showed up, more and more of their classmates had started picking on them too."What did you just say?!" Victoria snapped, clenching her fists.She was about to charge at the classmate who made the remark when Christy immediately stepped in.Christy placed a hand on her twin’s arm and gave a calm shake of her head, silently telling her to stop.Their teacher, Ms. Amie, still hadn’t arrived—giving their classmates the confidence to be as loud and do what they wanted without holding back.Their mom’s number one rule had always been, ’Never get into fights at school.’ Christy tried to follow t

    Third Person POVChristy and Victoria exchanged a knowing glance as they watched their mom move around, preparing their school bags.They didn’t say anything—but the look they shared was enough. A silent conversation only the two of them could understand."Christy, Victoria, are you done getting dressed?" their mom called from the kitchen."Yes, Mom!" the girls replied in unison."Okay, let’s get going then."They looked at each other once more before slipping their hands together and following their mom out of the house."Did you forget anything?" Monica asked as they reached the gate."Nope, Mom." Christy answered.Monica smiled and reached for their free hands, one twin on each side, as they began walking the familiar path to school.As they walked, the twins couldn’t help but notice how quiet their mom had become. Her eyes seemed distant again. She had been like this for two weeks now—ever since Alex and his friends started showing up.The twins exchanged another glance. They knew

    The Next Day*"Mom, don’t we have any yummy food today?"Victoria asked with a pout as she stared at the simple breakfast on the table—just eggs and fried rice.I let out a deep sigh."That is yummy food. It’s your favorite, remember?" I said, pointing at the plate—the same breakfast she always used to ask for.But she only pouted more."What I meant, Mommy... is, isn’t there any breakfast from Uncle Alex today? I really love the pancakes they always bring."I paused, my spoon halfway to my mouth, and glanced at the twins.Christy sat quietly, eating without a word, while Victoria—who used to eat whatever was in front of her without complaints—now looked like she was missing the breakfast meals sent by Davison’s friends.After what happened yesterday, they didn’t send anything.Maybe Alex told them I kicked him out... That’s probably why nothing came this morning.I’d already expected this, which was why I got up early to make breakfast myself.I don’t want the twins getting too used

    Why the hell did I say that...? What he had said to Monica lingered in his mind. Now that he was no longer in her presence, the embarrassment fully hit him. I don’t even know what she’s been through... and yet I still said all of that to her... Guilt gnawed at him—he had come hoping to help, but somehow, he’d only made things worse. Maybe it was because he knew just how deeply Davison had been hurt—after they recently discovered that Monica, the woman he couldn’t forget, was the same woman who had left him five years ago. None of them had ever met Monica back then. Davison never got the chance to introduce her to any of them... because she was already gone before he could. And after that? Davison was never the same. He changed so drastically that even his closest friends could barely recognize him at times. At first, they didn’t understand why Davison—who already had a wife at the time—was still in so much pain. They had even assumed that the woman who left him must have been a
