CHAPTER TWENTY ONE— The Fury Of Hell

What burned in my chest wasn’t anger. No, anger was too small of a word to describe it. This was pure rage. It was violent and suffocating, boiling so hot that it was suddenly so hard to breathe. My whole body shook as I stared at the tiny world I had built with blood, sweat, and sacrifice… destroyed in minutes. Mary was on the floor, broken and crumpling, holding her injured arm while sobbing in pain. Billy stood frozen, his small body trembling, fear written all over his face. Gracie screamed until her tiny voice cracked, crying because she could feel that her big brother was in danger. My apartment was in ruins with the furniture overturned, belongings scattered everywhere, the safe space I’d suffered to create was destroyed. It felt like I had stepped straight into hell. “Mary!” Rebecca dropped the bags at her feet and ran to her daughter, collapsing beside her, crying as she carefully checked her arm with shaking hands. Anna, still limping from surgery, forced herself

CHAPTER TWENTY TWO — Precious Son And Daughter

“I don’t understand why the hell I’m the one being arrested!” Gerald shouted. “I’m the victim here! Look at my face! Look at what she did to me!” “Call my lawyer!” Sarah screeched, holding her head. “This isn’t fair! That crazy bitch pulled my hair out, I’m going to go bald!” “Ow! Ow!” the old woman wailed dramatically. “My back! I’m an elderly woman! Why are you handling me like this? She hit me! That’s a crime!” Karen burst into loud sobs. “Please call my husband! Tell him to come get me! He can’t abandon me again! I didn’t even do anything wrong!” The police station sounded like a marketplace. Everyone was yelling, crying and blaming someone else for their own mistakes. The constable sat there rubbing the back of his bald head, his face twisted in deep frustration. He was a middle-aged man with a round belly and tired eyes, and it looked like this chaos had taken ten years off his life. The only person who wasn’t yelling was me. I sat quietly across from him, calmly picki

CHAPTER TWENTY THREE — A Mistress Truth

Anyone with eyes could see the guilt written all over Sarah’s face. It was clear as day. Not because she had suddenly grown a conscience after all these years, no. It was because she had finally realized something far worse. She was walking straight into a trap. And I was the one who dug the pit… just for her. Her face turned bright red. She wrapped her arms around herself then took a shaky step away from me as I reached out to grab her but Gerald quickly stood in front of her to stop me. His whole face crumbled with anger. His finger jabbed toward my face, his whole body shaking with rage. “You disrespectful woman!” he yelled. “Do you even know what you’re doing right now? You’re standing here accusing my family of stealing from you! Do you think I’ll just sit back and take this?” His shoulders were raised, his eyes bulging like he was using every bit of his strength to scare me into submission, like I was possessed by some evil spirit that needed to be chased away. I let ou

CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR — A Suffering Mother

Gerald’s face drained of colour. “Rebecca, have you lost your mind?!” “Yes!” she shot back, spinning toward him. “I must have been crazy to think you were a good enough man to marry! That was the worst mistake of my life! The only reason I don’t regret it is because I had my precious daughter. Mary is the only reason I stayed with you for so long!” “Mom…” Mary cried softly behind her. Rebecca turned, her voice breaking. “It’s not your fault, baby. It’s mine. If I had left this useless man earlier, none of this would have happened!” “Rebecca, do you hear the rubbish coming out of your mouth?” Gerald barked. “Leave who? Me? Do you even have the right?” “Why don’t I have the right?!” she yelled back. “Are you God? Why can’t I leave you?!” Gerald laughed in disbelief. “What can you even do without me?!” “Everything!” Rebecca threw her hands in the air. “Answer me in front of everyone. When was the last time you paid rent? When Mary was still in high school, did you ever buy her bo

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE — On Your Own Feet

I was released the next day. One night in the cell felt like I’d been stuck in a cage for a year. It was dirty, smelly, and so uncomfortable I barely slept. But the moment I stepped out of the station, all of that stopped mattering. Because the first thing I saw… was my family. They were standing across the road, waiting for me. “Mom!” Billy broke free from Anna’s hand and ran straight at me. He crashed into my chest, pushing his face into my neck, holding me so tight like he was scared I might disappear. “Mom!” he cried. When he pulled back, his big eyes were full of tears. “I thought I wasn’t going to see you again!” My heart shattered into pieces at that moment. “M–mama…!” Gracie cried out too from Rebecca’s arms, reaching for me with her tiny hands, her lips already trembling. I hugged Billy close, fighting my own tears, then stepped forward and took Gracie into my arms. “Mom is back,” I whispered. “Don’t cry, okay? I’m not going anywhere.” Anna walked over quietly and

CHAPTER TWENTY SIX — A Day In The Sun

“This is not a funny joke, Pat.” Rebecca almost laughed at first. Those were the wildest words she had ever heard. But when she looked at my face, the smile faded. I wasn’t joking. That made it worse. Pat Allen… successful? Changing her life like it was easy? It didn’t make sense. Maybe I was just trying to comfort her. It was strange, but she wanted to believe I meant well. “I’m not someone who jokes about things like this,” I said quietly. “I’m serious.” Rebecca’s heart began to race. She didn’t know why, but hope felt scarier than fear. She let herself imagine it for just a second… a different life. A better one. It felt dangerous. She leaned closer. “How would you even do that? Moving out of Murkwood is expensive. Starting a business is expensive. Do you think money grows on trees? I can’t just…” She glanced at Mary and lowered her voice. “I can’t gamble my daughter’s future on something risky.” “But that’s exactly it,” I replied. “It’s a chance. I’m offering you a chanc

CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN— Skyline City

I turned off the stove and fully faced her. “Anna, no one is born knowing everything,” I said gently. “You forgot some things? Fine. You’ll relearn them. That’s not shameful. What’s shameful is giving up on yourself before you even try. Do you think rich kids remember everything either? They get tutors. Extra lessons. Help. And you’ll get help too.” Her eyes dropped, and she rubbed her elbow nervously. “B-but what if I never make friends… and everyone thinks I’m weird?” I sighed and looked at Billy. “Billy, is your sister weird?” He answered without even thinking. “Yes.” “BILLY!” Anna jumped at him, and he shrieked loudly as I stepped in between them. Gracie burst into giggles pointing at her brother and sister. “Okay, okay, everybody relax,” I said, trying not to laugh myself. When they calmed down, I placed my hands on Anna’s shoulders. She slowly looked up at me. “You are the kindest, strongest, most beautiful girl I know,” I said gently and I meant it. The truth was,

CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT — Hair Is Like A Crown

“You guys, the blow dryer is not a monster. It won’t eat you. Why won’t you sit down?” Billy had lost all his playfulness. He was holding Anna like the chair might swallow him alive. Anna wouldn’t even look at me. Mary suddenly found something very interesting on Gracie’s shirt and Rebecca stood stiff, hands close to her body, like she was scared to touch anything and be told to pay for it. That’s when I slowly realized that I had my work cut out for me. I didn’t just have to take them out of poverty to live a better life, I had to teach them they were allowed to be there. Bianca, the stylist who was biting her lip to stop herself from giggling turned to me with a knowing look. “How about this? You go first.” She pointed to the chair in front of the big mirror. “So that they can see that there’s nothing to be afraid of, it’s just a haircut” I sighed giving her a grateful smile before sitting down. There was another empty chair beside me so I looked at Rebecca. “You to

CHAPTER TWENTY NINE — Flash Back

Two Years Ago“So what you’re telling me,” I said slowly, my voice tighter than I intended, “is that three of our closest business partners want to terminate their contracts with us. Just like that? With no prior notice?”The boardroom sat at the very top floor of Dawson Industries, all glass walls and city views that meant power and success. A long mahogany table stretched through the center, filled with directors and board members dressed in expensive suits and frustrated expressions.Today, none of that power felt like mine.Five open files sat in front of me, the numbers and legal notes blurring together as my vision would shake every time I tried to think too hard. All I could see were revenue charts dipping down red, reports and reports of production delays and customer complaints spread across multiple regions.It looked like my company wasn’t just struggling.It was bleeding.Beside me, Malcolm crossed one leg over the other, flipping through his own documents, lost in what I

CHAPTER THIRTY— An Insurance For Life

“Oh, we’re just looking around,” Rosie said brightly. “We want to get something special for the birthday girl.” She slipped her hand from mine and wrapped both arms around Mom instead. Mom let out a pleased, self-satisfied laugh, patting Rosie’s arm. “Oh, you naughty girl,” she said, though her smile said she loved every second of it. “If you hadn’t dragged me all the way here, you know I wouldn’t have come. I don’t care much for material things.” “Aww, Mom.” Rosie beamed. “I just want you to always have the best and be happy. Money means nothing if you don’t look good.” Right on cue, like part of a well-rehearsed play, the saleswoman placed a hand over her chest, her smile widening as she leaned in. “Oh, what a thoughtful daughter,” she said warmly. “We have some exquisite new arrivals that would suit a lady of such elegance perfectly.” Mother laughed, squeezing Rosie’s hand affectionately. “My daughter is a doctor, so she does very well for herself. I’m proud of her every sin
