    SEREIA The steps of the courthouse were packed with cameras and people shouting.Today was the day for another hearing.I moved closer to Valerian as his security team pushed through the crowd. Sarah was on my side her hand on my back and her eyes moving left and right.People were yelling at me. "Sereia, is it true you took your sister?""Did you try to hurt Selena?""How marriages have you ruined?"Someone asked Lucas, who was walking ahead of us "Is it true Sereia has been keeping your daughter away from you?"Lucas did not look back. He did not need to.Valerian whispered, "Look "I looked forward.---The courtroom was cold and empty. The benches were the same the high ceilings were the same. The flag behind the judges chair was the same. The judge with his hair and serious eyes was the same too.Lucas sat at his table with his lawyer. Selena was in the row wearing black with her hands folded in her lap.She did not look at me.The judge came in. We stood up. We sat down.The ju

    SEREIA Chapter 149The door closed behind the worker and I just lost it. I started crying. I could not stop. My daughter Liyana was still in my arms. She was telling me "Mommy do not cry please do not cry." I just could not help it. The social worker had these cold eyes and her voice was so flat. She said that allegations without proof are not enough.I have proof. I have the truth. It is just that nobody wants to listen to me.Valerian put his hand on my back. "Sereia, breathe.""I cannot.""Yes you can."I shook my head. Liyana got down from my lap. Gracie took her hand. "Come on girl let us make some cookies."Liyana looked back at me. "Mommy?"I wiped my face. "Go with Granny, baby I will be okay."She did not look like she believed me. She let Gracie take her away.The kitchen door. Then there was another knock at the door.I jumped. Valerian’s jaw got tight. "Stay here."He went to the door. Opened it. Marcus was standing on the porch wearing a jacket. His face was all scarred

    SEREIA A knock on the door broke the morning.I woke up with a start feeling confused. My neck hurt from sleeping on the couch. My hair was stuck to my face. There was dried chocolate on my cheek.Valerian was already up his eyes wide awake his hair messy. He looked at me. I looked at him.Another knock came, this time."I'm coming " I called out my voice rough.I stumbled to the door in yesterday’s clothes, still half asleep. I wiped my face with my sleeve. The chocolate didn't come off.I opened the door.A woman stood on the porch. She was in her mid-forties with blonde hair pulled back in a bun. She wore a navy pantsuit and held a clipboard. Her eyes looked me up and down—my wrinkled dress, my tangled hair, the ice cream on my face—and her expression changed. Just a little.She looked disapproving."Can I help you?" I asked."Are you Sereia Fontaine?" she asked."Yes " I said.She pushed a paper into my hand. "I'm Lydia Holloway. I'm a worker appointed by the court. I'm here to

    SEREIAI woke up to the ceiling spinning around me. Everything was white and blurry. The sheets were all tangled around my legs. My head felt like it was stuffed with cotton. I tried to sit up. The room started tilting.“Don't.” Valerian said. His hand was on my shoulder pushing me down. He was sitting on the edge of the bed close to me and his eyes looked different like I had never seen them before.“What happened?” I asked him.“You fainted in the car” he said, his voice was really low. The doctor said it was because of stress and dehydration and not eating enough.I closed my eyes and thought about Liyana, Lucas and the park.What time is it I asked.“It's Sunday afternoon you have been out for hours.” he replied .I tried to sit up and this time he let me. The room stopped spinning around me.“Liyana!” I started.“She is still with him until tonight.” Valerian informed me and my chest felt tight.Tears started coming, fast and hot.“Sereia.” Valerian snapped, his voice was sharp.

    SEREIAI stood in Liyana’s doorway for a long time before I finally knocked on the door.The sun was just starting to come up. The hallway was still pretty dark.. I had not slept at all. I could not sleep. Every time I closed my eyes I saw Lucas’s smile. I kept thinking about Saturday at nine.I pushed Liyana’s door open.Liyana was all curled up under her blanket. Her stuffed rabbit was tucked under her arm. Her hair was spread out across the pillow like silk. She looked really peaceful. She looked innocent. Like nothing could ever happen to her.I sat down on the edge of her bed. I brushed the hair out of her face."Baby it is time to wake up " I said.She stirred a bit. She mumbled something. She burrowed deeper into the blanket."Liyana come on baby " I said.Her eyes opened. She blinked at me. "Mommy is it morning?" she asked."Yes it is morning " I said.She sat up. She rubbed her eyes. "Where are we going?" she asked.I opened my mouth to say something. But nothing came out.--

    SEREIAMy bedroom was really dark. I was not asleep. I was lying on my side with my knees pulled up to my chest and my face pressed into the pillow. My tears had dried a time ago but the pain in my chest was still there. Every time I closed my eyes I sawLucas’s smile. I kept thinking about Saturday. He will pick her up at nine.The door to my bedroom creaked open. I did not move. I did not want him to see me like this.. Valerian always sees everything."Sereia " he said.EI felt the bed move behind me. His hand found my shoulder. It was gentle and warm."You are crying " he said."I am not " I replied.He pulled me back against his chest. His arms wrapped around me. His chin rested on top of my head."Talk to me " he said.I shook my head. I could not speak. If I spoke I would break down."Is it about the court hearing?" he asked.I nodded my head."He is going to take her Valerian. On Saturday. For two days. And I can do nothing to stop it " I said.His arms got tighter around me.
