ALEX “Alex… I…can't ..mmmffffff ”I tighten my grip.I'm so fucking angry, I can feel the blood boiling in my veins like acid. My pulse is pounding in my ears, drowning out everything and painting everything red.Her nails dig into my wrist, but it’s useless. I don’t loosen my grip.She kicks harder now, making strangled sounds like a dying animal. Her eyes are wild, mascara running down her face as the panic sets in. I lean in close, my lips by her ear."Did you think you were going to walk away clean? Surely you can't be that delusional or are you?"She shakes her head, or tries to.Her hands slap weakly at my chest."If I have to ask you one more fucking time to confess what you did, I'll shred you to pieces.”I drop her.She crumples like a ragdoll, coughing and gasping, her hand flying to her neck.She looks up at me through smeared makeup and horror-stricken eyes.“You…” she wheezes, her voice broken. “You could’ve loved me…”“You should’ve chosen me!” she screams suddenly, pou

ALEX We’re almost to the car park.The echo of our footsteps fills the concrete silence, tension hanging thick in the air. Athena is quiet beside me, her hands in the pockets of her coat.Mum hasn't said a word since the session ended. We have more than enough to have Leah locked up for life. But I won't stop there. Her family will lose everything. I'll make sure of it.“Athena, go on ahead sweetie.”Mum’s voice cuts through my thoughts as she halts her steps. I freeze.Athena glances between us, sensing the shift, but doesn’t argue. She nods and walks ahead toward the car, her coat swaying around her ankles.The moment she’s out of earshot, Mum grabs my arm, not hard, but firm. Her short nails digging slightly into my sleeve. I look down into her eyes.And I know.She's hurt.And it breaks my heart.But I had no choice, I had to keep it from her to protect her. I'll admit, at the beginning, I did it to punish them for how neglected I felt. I hoped I would drop dead one day, and t

ALEXThere are only two things I truly regret this afternoon. 1. Letting Luca pick the restaurant.2. Me agreeing to hang out with my so-called friends when they’ve had more than one drink in them.“I’m just saying,” Luca leans back in his chair, swirling his whiskey like he’s in a bad mafia movie, “you’ve fallen for your ex-wife.”“You’re drunk.” I reply, stabbing a piece of steak with more aggression than necessary. “ And I haven’t fallen for anyone.”Luca snorts so hard that he nearly chokes on his drink. “Sure. You just follow her around like a bodyguard-slash-lover, risk your life for her, and stare at your phone every five seconds. Totally normal co-parenting behavior.”“It is co-parenting,” I say flatly. “We share a child. It’s called being responsible adults. Not that you'd know anything about it.”“I have three kids, and I can safely say you've totally fallen for her.” Ethan says, and I turn my head in anger.“Why are you even here? I don't even like you.” I snarl. Ethan is
