Manuela's POVI had barely closed the door, hadn't even recovered from Flavian's father's visit, when the doorbell rang again. What else did that man want? I took a deep breath and opened the door. I felt as if all the blood had drained from my body. There, standing in front of me with a cold smile that seemed almost cruel, was my mother, and right behind her was Julian."Mom?!" My legs trembled, and I thought I would collapse on the floor."Did you miss me, Manuela? Did you think I would forget about you?" She laughed, but it was a humorless laugh. "A mother never forgets her child, especially one as rebellious as you!""Mom, of course I missed you!" I tried to hug her, but she dodged away, which made my heart ache."Won't you invite me in, ungrateful daughter?" My mother spoke in a cold, cutting voice. I merely gestured, and she entered, followed by my brother who rubbed his hand over my head, messing up my hair and pulled my ear hard. This had been Julian's habit since he grew talle

Flavian's POVI was in the middle of handling a case at the police station when I received a message from Manu saying my father was at the apartment. My father alone with her wasn't something I wanted; he could be very cruel when he wanted to. But I had to finish processing that case before leaving, and it took longer than I would have liked. As soon as it was done, I called the duty clerk and asked him to cover for me, explaining I needed to leave due to a personal emergency but would return as soon as possible. It would just take enough time to get my father out and make sure Manu was okay.However, when I got home, the scene I witnessed wasn't what I expected. A young man was on top of Manuela, pulling her hair. But who was this delinquent? I wanted to punch that punk's face until it turned inside out. How dare he laid his hands on Manu?When I saw the woman approach to defend her son, I understood the situation. I immediately recognized Rita, Manu's mother - it had only been a week

Flavian's POVAs soon as Manu fell asleep, I went back to the living room. I had a pending conversation with Manu's brother."Look, I've seen a lot of bad things, but what this woman does to Manu is too much even for me," I commented as I sat down."It used to be worse. Manu would get horrible beatings for anything. One day Rita beat her with a belt, leaving Manu's body covered in buckle marks, all because she ran into the house and knocked over some ornament that broke. Manu was only ten years old. Rita always threatened that if she told our father about the beatings, she would get beaten more. I had already moved out by then, only found out because I got suspicious when Manu was wearing warm clothes in summer, and I asked her to tell me. Man, I almost hit Rita, but my father arrived, and we fought. Manu begged me not to tell him." Cam's eyes welled up with tears."And that wasn't the first time, wasn't the last, and wasn't even the worst," Olivia added. "I'm amazed that Manu doesn't

Manuela's POV"Do you really have to go?" I asked my brother who had just put his suitcase in the car."We do, Manu, but we'll come visit you more often." My brother hugged me very tight."Tell Dad I'm fine, so he won't worry." I said goodbye to my brother and sister-in-law and watched their car drive away."Little one, I'm worried. That woman won't give up. She can't get into the building, but there's no way to keep her out of college," Flavian said with his arm around my waist. He had been repeating the same thing since Saturday, and I knew he was right, but I did not see how to avoid it."I know she won't give up, but I don't know what to do," I said as we walked to the car. We were back to the routine of him driving me everywhere."You should file a complaint against her and Julian," Flavian was insisting that I should go to the police station and report the assaults."Flavian, she's my mother. It's not even about Julian - he's my brother, though we'll never be like real siblings.

Flavian's POVMy mother stared at me, not even glancing at Lexie when she delivered her ultimatum. Lexie stood frozen halfway up the stairs to the second floor, her expression shocked."Lexie, go pack your things. We'll sort this out with our mother when she's calmer," I said, keeping my eyes fixed on my mother.An hour later, I left my parents' house with my siblings. My mother didn't even say goodbye to her daughter, but I knew she was just trying to pressure my sister. My mother was an expert at emotional blackmail and always managed to manipulate my sister."Flavian, now she hates me! What am I going to do?" Lexie was tearful in the car as we headed to the airport."Lexie, Mom doesn't hate you. It's like you don't know her at all. She's like a stubborn child who says these things to make everyone do what she wants. Haven't you seen how she acts with Dad?" I tried to console my sister."I don't understand why she wants me to marry that worthless guy," Lexie said, frustrated."About
