The next day, the Ashford mansion was alive with motion and aroma. Maids bustled up and down the grand hallways, the clatter of pots and pans mingling with the scent of roasting meats and freshly baked bread. “Good morning,” Marcus greeted his mother as he entered the dining area, still rubbing sleep from his eyes. “Oh, my baby!” Mrs. Ashford exclaimed, her face lighting up. “You’ve been away for years I simply couldn’t let you return without a proper welcome dinner. It was supposed to be yesterday, but you were tired… and after that unfortunate encounter with that… evil woman, I had to make it up to you!” Marcus sighed, the weight of unspoken truth pressing against his chest. How could he tell her that the ‘evil woman’ she blamed was actually Rosey? He forced a polite smile and nodded, letting the moment pass. “Today,” she continued, “we’re going to enjoy this dinner together. Just the way it should have been.” He gave a small nod and excused himself, heading for a fresh gl

83.“I don’t know how those fingerprints got there,” Zara said, her voice low but steady.The judge looked at her over his glasses. “Mrs. Zara Johnson, we hear this every day. People commit crimes and later claim they don’t remember or simply deny it.”A murmur passed through the courtroom.Without further delay, the judge continued.“Mrs. Zara Johnson, you will be remanded into custody until the next hearing. The evidence presented is substantial. If you are proven innocent at the next session, you will be released. However ”His voice hardened.“if not, you will face full imprisonment. And the punishment will not be light.”Zara froze.This wasn’t happening.It couldn’t be happening.Marcus rose quickly. “Your Honor ”But the judge stood, cutting him off completely and exiting through the side door before he could finish.The sound of the gavel echoed like a gunshot.Zara stood there, disbelief written all over her face.Police officers approached. Cold metal cuffs clicked around he

Zara hugged Lilly tightly when they reached the apartment, she was still in her school uniform, her small arms wrapped around Zara’s neck.“Mommy, where have you been?” she cried softly.Zara gently stroked her hair. “Oh, dear… I went to buy some clothes,” she said, repeating the lie they had prepared earlier.She lifted the shopping bag and pulled out the clothes they had bought on their way home.Victor, Marcus, and Maya stood nearby, watching the mother and daughter with quiet amusement and relief. The sight warmed their hearts.Zara lifted Lilly into her arms and glanced at them gratefully.“Let me take her upstairs,” she whispered. “I’ll be back.”They nodded.Marcus and Victor sat down on the couch, but the happiness on their faces slowly faded, replaced by worry.Maya didn’t pay much attention to it. She assumed they were simply stressed after everything that had happened recently.Not long after, Zara returned. She sat beside Maya, facing Victor and Marcus.She took a deep b

After the tears finally settled, they all sat down quietly in Mrs. Ashford’s hospital ward.The atmosphere was calmer now, but the weight of everything that had happened still lingered in the air.Victor shook his head slowly, frustration written all over his face.“I still can’t believe Adrian did this to me,” he said bitterly. “I trusted him as a friend… and as a worker. He knew I once lost a sister, and yet he still did something like this.”Zara sighed softly.“No wonder Rosey hated you so much,” she said quietly.Marcus frowned and turned to her.“What did she do?”Victor hesitated before answering.“She once framed her for stealing,” he admitted. “I’m sure she never wanted Zara to stay around us for long. She must have feared that sooner or later… the truth would come out.”He gave a weak smile.“Well… I guess she was right. Because the truth did come out.”Mrs. Ashford tightened her grip on Zara’s hand as if she was afraid the girl might suddenly disappear again.“I knew my

The next morning, Victor took Zara and Lilly on a shopping spree.They went from store to store, picking out all kinds of clothes the finest, most expensive outfits they could find. Lilly squealed in delight at every shop, while Zara couldn’t help but smile at the attention.After they finished shopping, they returned to Victor’s house.Outside, Lilly was playing with the dog. The moment she saw Marcus and Zara approaching, she ran toward Marcus and threw her arms around him.“Uncle Twin!” she shouted.Marcus grinned and lifted her up. “Hey, little girl!”Then Lilly turned to Mrs. Ashford. “Hey, Granny!”Mrs. Ashford’s face lit up, though a hint of worry flickered in her eyes. “Hey, sweetheart! Why are you outside all alone?”“I was just playing with the dog!” Lilly replied cheerfully.“Okay, let’s get inside,” Mrs. Ashford said.Victor carried the shopping bags and Lilly inside . Zara ran toward Mrs. Ashford immediately spotted them with Lilly on the door way .“Hey, Mum,” she said
