I watch Scarlett silently as she drops a covered document on my desk, smirks at me and walks out of my office.

I shakily reach out to pick up the envelope and pull it open, they are a series of four photos in front of me and my heart drops at the pictures in front of me. I feel like I'm about to throw up at the pictures I'm staring at. In the first picture, Maxwell is laying naked on the bed, asleep with Scarlett standing over him, the next picture is of Scarlett laying on top of him, and the third is a picture of Scarlett kissing Maxwell with his eyes closed.

I can no longer look at the pictures as I sit on my chair, trying to breathe and process my feelings. All I want to, do is curl on my bed and cry heavily. I walk upstairs to my apartment like I was being controlled.

I go into my shower and refresh myself.

I try not to think about it too much but I couldn't help it all night, I barely slept through the night and I was too scared to confront Maxwell about it, too afraid that h

I wear a bini and head to the store torestock the groceries.Jersey had offered to help but I just want to go for a stroll with my bini baby and just take in some freshair, I haven't done this in a really long time.I spend thirty minutes in the store before I begin to notice the stares I've been getting. I ignore the staresand whispers as I go about stocking up and getting things I might need. I would also do a baby shoppingbut it's still too early and I would love to do that with Ryan at my side.A woman and probably her daughter stand at the other end of the aisle as they both continue to stare atme and whisper. I'm right here ladies, I think. They are not even trying to pretend or maybe it's just tooobvious but I head to the counter to weigh and pay for my stuffs.Even the girl at the counter wouldn't stop staring but I still ignore, I gather my bags of groceries refusingthe lady on the counters help.W

    I go back to sit in the waiting room, I cannot go back home while the love of my life lays in an hospitalbed fighting for his life.I lay helplessly on the chairs in the waiting for any report on Maxwell's state. Mr. Jaxon and Bianca havereturned home for the night, I'm to call them for any update on his state.It's morning and my eyes don't close for a second not even from exhaustion when Max was goingthrough so much pain than I was.The doctor will be out to see me in not too long so I pass the message to Mr. Jaxon.Mr. Jaxon and Bianca arrive as the Doctor summons me into his office.We all go in and the doctor clears his throat.I carry my heart on a silver platter at this moment.โ€œThankfully he managed to make it through the night, but unfortunately he has gone into comma andwill be put on life support.

    โ€œWhat makes you so desperate to give me away?โ€ I ask the both of them.โ€œYou weren't this desperate when you were moaning in my bed begging to leave your wife for me. oh mybad you were, just not in this light.โ€ I chuckle bitterly. โ€œYou were more than confident when youpromised to help me leave my husband.โ€ I say wiping my tears that won't stop falling angrily.โ€œIs it just the bruised ego that your son is hundred times more the man you will only ever think of beingin your dreams?โ€ I ask him stepping back in defeat.โ€œHow dare you, you whor-โ€ Bianca goes to say.โ€œOh you are a more bigger whore and gold digger might I add than I'll ever dream to be and both youand your dear husband here knows that Mother.โ€ I stress saying to her breathing heavily.โ€œYou both win, I hope this makes you more than happy and content with yourselves but listen to this ifyou have even a cent of a conscience left.

    I go back to staring at Ryan blankly.We are at the front door of Ryan's parents and he suddenly grabs my waist tightly but I do not satisfyhim with the reaction I know he's looking for. So I keep my eyes on the door as it peels open to showIsabellaโ€™s scowling face in front of me.Ryan greets his mother but I do not say a word, I only stare blankly as we go into the house, if they wantme to forcefully remain here as their slave and prisoner, that's exactly how I'm going to act.Ryan tugs at me to say hello to his mother when we are in.โ€œHello mother in law.โ€ I say casually and my blank stare catches her off guard but she recovers and glareshard at me, probably not forgetting the public insult. That's good, I didn't say it for her to forget.โ€œSon.โ€ Ryan's father greets, acting like they are the doting family. The man only nods at me as I findlooking out the window is much more interesting than their reunion.โ€œAna's a bit tired.โ€ I hear Ryan coming up with an excuse but I cou

    The next day, Ryan's mood is all switched up like last night never happened. I'm done trying to keep upwith his mood swings, the man is basically crying for help and the earlier his parents do something aboutit before it's too late, that's if they care about their son at all, which obviously they don't.โ€œWe are going shopping.โ€ Ryan announce at the breakfast.โ€œWhat for?โ€ I ask him because we are not the cute, casual couple that just wakes up to go shopping.Ryan looks at me calculating. โ€œDon't tell me you forgot.โ€ He says seriously.โ€œForget what?โ€ I ask him not to wait a second to even think it over.โ€œThe company's Galla party is this Friday.โ€ Ryan tells me like I have committed a sin for forgetting.โ€œOh.โ€ Is all I say at first. โ€œI don't need to go shopping, I have dresses in the house that I can wear.โ€ I tellhim not really into the idea of going anywhere with him.โ€œThe media have all eyes on us, they might not show it but they are always hiding and watching us andwe have t

Most of his bruises are mostly gone onthe outside, only that I know the bruise on his ego is still very much intact.I sit there and watch them all converse and let out fake laughter's, I don't indulge any conversation, Ikeep it as short as I possibly can or I ignore it altogether.Ryan goes on to do lots of things that prick at my chest and spike my irritation up a notch but I ignore itand fix on a small lazy smile to humour him since that's what we are here for.He goes on to whisper so close to my ear that his lips was almost kissing them and then he goes ahead tokiss each of my fingers and wr

    โ€œI'm so sorry Anastasia.โ€ I hear Maxwell whisper, still not looking at me but I can see the glistening oftears in his eyes. โ€œYou might never forgive me but I'm so sorry Ana, I should have known you wouldn'thave done something like that, I should have trusted you.โ€ Maxwell says and I wanted nothing more thanto be in his arms in these times.โ€œNo, I lied, you were in pain and you were being manipulated.โ€ I say, I was hurt and I wasn't about to healanytime soon but Maxwell was as much as a victim in this, I have no idea how he must have felt all thetime he spent thinking the woman he loved killed his child.1โ€œThank you so much Ana, he's the greatest gift and redemption.โ€ Maxwell says sniffling so hard.I hold my hand out towards him. โ€œCome here.โ€ I whisper, my own eyes glistening with tears.Maxwell slowly walks towards me like he was carrying the whole world on his shoulders.

    โ€œOh God,โ€ I mutter to myself when I suddenly feel a hard push on my abdomen.โ€œYou have got to be kidding me.โ€ I whisper to myself when I feel water underneath my thighs.What was happening? Panic suddenly filled my every pore. I felt more fear than I did the overwhelmingpain in my very gut.I needed help and fast, the baby was coming. I groan out loud and try to push myself up when another bultof pain decided to rack through my body.โ€œAna? Ana!!โ€ I hear screams of my name coming from outside of the house, my already pulsing heartnearly stopped the moment I recognized who the voice belonged to.โ€œMaxwell.โ€ I whisper to myself, too weak to speak any louder.โ€œAna.โ€ Loud footsteps march past the open wide doors and a disheveled looking Maxwell stands directlyin front of me.Confusion takes over his features first and then shock as his eyes access the situation and mess in theroom and then fear as he watches me bleeding out on the floor.โ€œAna?โ€ He calls running towards me. โ€œWhat happen

    "That's good," I mutter tiredly. Seeing everything fall apart was all I wanted for so long, but now that it's actually happening, I find myself less interested than I expected.Jersey, standing across from me, studies my face carefully. "I think a warrant should be going out for both your mother and stepfather any moment now," she says quietly, her voice carrying a seriousness that matches the situation. "This is big, Ana. Are you okay?"I shrug, unsure how to answer. The truth is, I don't know what Iโ€™m feeling anymore. "Yeah, I guess," I say after a moment, trying to convince myself as much as her.Jersey doesn't seem to buy it. She watches me with concern, her brow furrowed. โ€œYou sure? Itโ€™s okay if youโ€™re not, you know. This is... itโ€™s a lot.โ€"Yeah," I repeat, softer this time. โ€œIโ€™m fine.โ€Thereโ€™s a pause, thick and uncomfortable. Jersey looks like she wants to say something more, but instead, she rubs the back of her neck awkwardly. "I'm going to bed," she announces, and I know sh

    โ€œI would love to come along with you Ana, I don't think I've told you this before but I love to explore, I'vealways wanted to leave the country, relocate somewhere else, besides it's not like I have anything backhere or a family I'll miss. My job is the only thing I have and my job lies with you.โ€ Jersey says chucklingand I let out a sad chuckles of my own.โ€œBut what about the business?โ€ Jersey asks and I shrug in answer.โ€œI have no idea but each step at a time, if I do decide to leave, we'll figure it out, together.โ€ I say holdingJersey's hand closely to mine. I cannot possibly explain the relieve and joy that came at her answer, I feltwarm all over. I just needed Beatrice to also agree to come with me, I was not sure I was comfortable withleaving her behind with Ryan. She had motherly affection for Ryan so I would respect whatever decisionshe would make.Another thought immediately crosses my mind and I turn to Jersey with a mischievous smile on my face.โ€œYou know, I was also

    Another thought immediately crosses my mind, and I canโ€™t help the mischievous smile that spreads across my face. Jersey notices, raising an eyebrow slightly as I turn toward her. "You know," I begin, "I've been thinking." My voice has a playful lilt to it, though what Iโ€™m about to say is anything but a joke. "Youโ€™re really good at what you do in the jewelry business. Like, really good. Youโ€™ve been doing this longer than I have, and you know more about the inner workings than I ever could."Jersey's expression remains calm, though I can tell sheโ€™s wondering where this conversation is heading. She nods, a quiet acknowledgment of the compliment, but itโ€™s clear sheโ€™s holding back a response, waiting for me to get to the point."You've taken care of the store long before I ever set foot in it," I continue, "and on top of that, youโ€™ve always been the one looking out for everyone. You care so much about this place and the people in it." I pause, letting the words settle for a moment. โ€œWith
