EmmaI stood in front of my mini calendar.“10 more days,” I whispered to myself.The Jury meeting was almost around the corner. I already had a lot of evidence in my hand.Backup files...Papers along with some photos and videos.Everything was going smoothly as planned.That day, I didn’t think I would gain another, since Jessica and Andrew both were not in the mansion. In the four corners of my room, being held worse than a prisoner, boredom finally struck. It had been a while since I lived as a normal she-wolf.My mind was shouting for freedom. A bit of life itself. I wanted to have fun for once.So, I grabbed my favorite skirt and decided to kill some time somewhere. I didn’t ask our family driver to drive for me. Or else, it wouldn’t feel much like freedom at all. I wanted to be alone and do whatever I want without any eyes on me.I sneaked out with my car and drove to a distant mall. And I was glad I did.I walked around the mall, with normal people around me. Each was busy fig

Emma I was walking through a field of flowers, colorful and unfamiliar ones. It was stunning to see how they all bloomed perfectly. Then I tilted my chin up. A bizarre and yet golden yellow sky welcomed me. I smiled at the scene. It was ike the clouds were dusted with gold. It was sparkling and appealing to the eyes. Then a soft breeze of wind moved past me. A fresh, spring-scented air that calmed both my body and soul. This place was almost like a dream. I walked through the flowers while I stared at them one by one. I caught myself smiling and cherishing each second. I scanned the place more and noticed a small boy, alone and sitting in the middle of this paradise. “What is he doing here alone?” I asked myself. My instinct led me to check on him. The grass and the bright flowers made a way for me toward the boy. As I approached closer, the boy sensed my presence. He turned his back immediately. His shoulders were shaking. I noticed some tears escaping his eyes. I bent down

That was when the smile on Mom’s face disappeared.The happiness on her face had dropped like it had never been there earlier. Her warmth faded. She started frowning. Just like she always did whenever she saw me.They started walking toward me. Jessica had that same little smirk she always wore, like she was already enjoying the moment. I braced myself for another round of insults. With Jessica’s smile like that, I knew she was up to something bad.I didn’t move. I just stayed still and watched them come to me.My mother’s eyes narrowed as she looked at me. Jessica walked beside her, proud and confident, like she belonged more than I ever did. Funny, wasn’t it? I was her real daughter, but she treated Jessica more like a daughter than she ever treated me.I kept my arms crossed loosely, doing my best to appear calm and normal. My heartbeat sped up a little. I made sure to stand straight. I was no longer worried or afraid. The joy of motherhood had taught me a lot of things, including

EmmaMike started the engine and drove fast.He navigated through moving cars and not saying a word. The tires screeched a little as we turned onto the main road. I grabbed the side of my seat and held on tight. The city blurred past us as we sped by.My heart was still racing. Every breath I took felt heavy. I looked at the road ahead, wishing the car could just fly and take me to the hospital in one second.Please let him be okay, I thought. Please don’t let this be real.My nerves were all over the place. I could feel my body shaking. My mind was full of questions, but my mouth wouldn’t open. My chest hurt just thinking of Andrew, possibly in pain, maybe even unconscious or worse…Dead. I looked over at Mike. His face was still tense and focused on the road. Meanwhile, I felt upset. Upset on myself for feeling like this. That quiet rejection had carved itself into me…lingering like an old bruise that still ached when touched. I was still angry at him. So angry that everything we

AndrewThere was no noise aside from the car engine. It soared through the street sweeping every car that I passed. My grip tightened around the steering wheel. I knew exactly the address Mike sent me. The place contained a lot of memories with my friends, an old villa beside a lake Mike’s family used to own. That served as our secret spot. Nobody aside from Mike’s family knew the place.During college, we were always hyped every time our group announced we were gonna spend some days there. But now, it didn’t feel like it used to.Right now, the old villa didn’t serve me excitement. It felt more like a trap waiting for me. Just the thought alone about what was waiting for me haunted me to the core.The engine continued to roar along the highway. I thought about Emma’s safety. Fine, I dragged her to this mess. But I never expected it to become this worse. Was he really capable of doing such a thing? I wanted to believe Mike was just playing around but this time, it was serious. He kid
