“What?” the trio chorused.“What’s what? Do you think I’m infertile?” Cassandra chuckled. “I came back for the father of my child. Do you know the most painful part? This son of a bitch here,” she pointed an angry finger at Raymond. “He was all over Eureka again. Even when she sent him to jail, he still wanted to be with her, to have his kids back. And I spent over five years with him, yet he betrayed me for a woman he was only married to for two months. He even had the guts to have me wanted by the police after sixteen years. Was I supposed to lose everything? He proved to me that I wasted my time with him.”“It’s all my fault, Cassandra,” Raymond chimed in, remorse filling his tone. “These women are innocent. Kaiden is innocent. Do anything you want with me, just let them go, please,” he begged.“Aww! So adorable, isn’t it?” she laughed hysterically, her voice ringing through the room. “He wants me to let them go. Isn’t that crazy?”“We can sett

Heart pounding. Feet shuffling. Shoulders drooped. Eyes aching, begging for no more tears. Melissa wiped her tears with the back of her hand, took a deep breath, then grabbed the door handle and opened the door. The AC welcomed her with a chilly breeze, teasing her skin softly. She closed the door gently, heaving a sigh of relief. Her head turned from one corner of the living room to the other, scanning. Everything was just as she left it, but she wasn’t the same as when she left. Something twisted in her stomach as the scene of Eureka dropping the gas lighter on Cassandra flashed across her mind, tears threatening to fall again.“Don’t, Mel,” she cautioned herself, voice low. “She deserved what she got. Imagine her coming for me and my son if she isn’t dead?” she dreaded, her head dropping to the floor. She spotted a stain of blood on her big toe, recalling when Kaiden had dropped to the floor, shot.“She deserved what she got,” she reminded herself, chanting it like a mantra several

A week later. Eureka walked into the gazebo, holding a tray with two goblets of red wine. She placed the tray on the table, handed Melissa a glass, then sank into the chair opposite her. They both sipped it, setting the glasses down.“Still haven’t gotten a new housekeeper?” Melissa asked, tucking some strands of her hair behind her ear.“I’m still contemplating. I don’t trust anybody with my family anymore,” Eureka said. “If Mildred, of all people in the world, could betray me, then there’s no good one out there. Besides, my stay in the States is numbered, so I don’t mind doing the chores for now.”“Are you really going to leave for good?”“For my peace of mind, yes,” Eureka affirmed, sipping her drink again. “This country has done its worst to me and my family. I want to take them far away from here.”“And Raymond?” Melissa asked. “Will he go with you guys?”“I don’t have any business with Raymond. The only privilege he’ll get with his kids is knowing their

Eureka dragged her suitcase down the stairs, carefully descending to avoid falling. Her gatekeeper took two other boxes and landed first before she followed. “Go get the twins’ bags too,” she ordered him, running her finger through her hair, removing some strands from her face. The little carriage was making her sweat, so she dabbed her face with a handkerchief. “Be fast, please. We don’t want to miss our flight now, do we?” she called out.The gatekeeper returned without the twins’ bags. “They aren’t ready, ma’am,” he told Eureka.Kaiden and Kailani appeared on the inner balcony, looking down at their impatient mother. They were dressed in casual outfits, not looking ready for any journey.“Where are you going, Mom?” Kaiden asked, his hands on the handrail.“Is that supposed to be a joke?” Eureka snapped. “We’re going back to Gisborne. I’ve told you about this for the past week, and you’re not dressed yet. You said you’ve been packing.”
