I Jessica woke up to the sound of her ringing tone and an empty bed. She moved her hand to the side of the bed and touched it, hoping to find Ethan there but was met with a soft mattress instead. With a frown on her face, she sat up, stretching to grab her phone. Without checking who it was, she answered the call.“Hel—”“You fucking bitch! How dare you try to leave me in this mess all by myself!”All the sleep in her eyes cleared as she heard the sound of Hannah’s voice, sounding like a raging lion. Her heart skipped with fear and her hold on the phone tightened.“I’m telling them everything I know if you don’t show up here today, Jessica. I don’t care if I go to jail as long as you go with me!” Hannah threatened in a harsh whisper, almost as if she was trying to hide from someone.Jessica took a deep breath, calming herself. “You have no evidence.” She said suddenly. “You have no proof, Hannah. You can talk as much as you want but, you’ll only be a mad woman making stupid claims. At

Brielle left the station with a wide smile on her face. She knew it was only a matter of time until Jessica was behind bars. As for Hannah, she didn’t really care about what happened to her. Jessica was her main target and if Hannah was going to help her finally get rid of her, she didn’t mind helping her out.The sky had already started to darken as she walked towards the taxi she had waved down. She checked her phone quickly to see that it was already past 7. “I need to see Officer Joe though.” She thought, tapping her legs impatiently.“I’ll call him.” She said and searched for his number but just as she was about to hit the dial button, a call came in.It was Ethan.Her heart warmed at the sight of his name written on her phone. He had promised to call her to ask about the progress after she had warned him not to come to the station with her despite his countless pleas.Clearing her throat and wiping off the faint smile on her lips, she answered the call.“Hey. Are you good? I was

Brielle was too stunned to react. She stood frozen as Ethan’s soft lips landed on hers. She could barely process anything that was happening. All she knew was that she was being kissed by the man she had sworn to hate and it felt good.If she were being honest, she expected this. When she told him that she would be at the office, she knew that this was what they both wanted but she was too proud to admit it.Now, with his lips on hers, she realized that nothing felt more right.His hands worked their way to the back of her neck and another to her waist, pulling her closer.“Fuck.” She heard him whisper, breaking the kiss for less than a second.She gave him the entrance he needed, opening her mouth slightly but enough for him to slip his warm tongue into.“Mm.” Brielle moaned, gripping his shirt tighter at the feel of their tongues dancing together.As much as she hated to admit, she missed this.She missed him.Their passionate moment was cut off by a soft knock on the door. Brielle

The sound of the front door clicking open echoed so faintly in the quiet penthouse. Vivian's eyes darted toward the entrance with great anticipation, relief washing over her face until it was nowhere to be found.Ethan stepped in first, his hand buried in his pockets, his expression unreadable. But what made everyone's breath seize was the woman walking in right behind him.Brielle.Her coat brushed against his arm as they entered together, almost too close to each other, as if they had just come from the same place but not as ex-husband and wife who had supposedly ended things with each other.Anita froze on the spot. Her jaw dropped in disbelief, eyes shifting rapidly between her brother and Brielle like she was seeing ghosts walk in. She had worked so hard to keep her mother from seeing Jessica but now Brielle's presence threatened to crack everything wide open.Vivian's lips pressed into a tight line. Her grip on her handbag stiffened until her knuckles suddenly turned white. Her

THE NEXT DAYBrielle left Ethan’s house early. She had gotten a phone call from Officer Joe, letting her know that he had returned from his trip and was at the station. She took a taxi, refusing Ethan’s countless pleas to drop her off. When she arrived at the station, it was as busy as usual and there were more officers than before. This time, she didn’t need to introduce herself for them to know who she was. After the incident with Officer Gary, the other officers had taken note of her face so, as soon as she entered, a female officer rushed to her with a broad smile. “Mrs Rayne!” She greeted politely. “Are you here to see Miss Hannah?” “Hello.” Brielle responded with a confused but grateful look. “No. I’m here to see officer Joe this time.” She answered and the woman nodded. “Alright! I’ll go get him for you.” She responded and walked away but, not before providing her with a place to sit. Five minutes later, officer Joe walked out in a casual outfit and a coffee in han
