Emily stood over her now, her hand still raised, tears streaming down her own face, her whole body shaking with a fury that had been building since the moment she'd first heard Mira had something to do with the kidnapping."How COULD you?" Emily shouted, her voice breaking apart. "How could you do this to her? Whatever excuse you're about to give me, whatever reason you think justifies this, it is NOT enough! Do you understand me? Nothing you say is going to be enough to justify giving up my daughter's life!"Miller stepped forward quickly, gently pulling Emily back by the shoulder. "Don't hit her," he said firmly, though not unkindly. "Give her a chance to explain. We need to understand exactly what happened."Mira pressed a hand against her stinging cheek, tears pouring down her face, and finally the truth came spilling out of her in a rush."He threatened my father's company," she sobbed. "He said he was going to destroy everything my dad built, every single thing he worked for his

Emily and Jems left the station together, Emily's arm wrapped tightly around her daughter's shoulders, guiding her toward the car without another glance back at the room where Mira sat, alone, waiting to give her full statement.Mira was kept in custody, placed in a small holding room down the hall from the interview rooms, the door left unlocked but a uniformed officer stationed just outside as a formality more than anything else. She sat with her knees pulled up to her chest, her arms wrapped around them, staring blankly at the wall.It was barely twenty minutes later when the door burst open."MIRA!"Her mother's voice cracked through the small room, and Mira's head snapped up just in time to see both her parents rushing toward her, her mother's face streaked with tears, her father right behind her, his expression a mixture of confusion and barely restrained panic."Mum," Mira started, but her mother had already crossed the room and pulled her into a fierce hug."What happened?" he

Richard, who had been standing quietly a few feet away, stepped forward and gently placed a hand on Jems' shoulder, guiding her toward a nearby bench."Come sit down, princess," he said softly. "These aren't things Sarah needs to hear right now, not in the state she's in. Let her calm down a little. Give her some space to breathe."Jems allowed herself to be led away, sinking down onto the hard plastic bench, wiping at her face with shaking hands, watching as Emily continued to hold Sarah, murmuring soft, steady reassurances into her hair.A few minutes passed in tense, exhausted silence.Then the front doors of the emergency wing burst open, and Josh came sprinting through them, sweat soaking through his shirt, his chest heaving like he'd run the entire way from wherever he'd been when he got the call."Aunt Sarah!" he shouted, his eyes wild, scanning the waiting area frantically. "I came as fast as I could, what happened? Is he okay? Somebody tell me what's going on!"The moment Sar

Emily didn't answer right away."Have you forgiven him?" Jems asked carefully, watching her mother's face in the dark. "Are we going back because you've forgiven Dad?"Emily shook her head slowly. "No," Emily said quietly. "I haven't forgiven him." Hot tears were already welling in Emily's eyes by the time she finished the sentence, though she fought visibly to hold them back, blinking hard and staring out the window instead of at her daughter."Have you decided to live with him again, then?" Jems asked gently."No," Emily said, her voice firmer this time. "Absolutely not."It was Nana who finally spoke, glancing at Jems in the rearview mirror. "Richard is no longer staying at the mansion," she said simply.Jems frowned, confusion cutting through her exhaustion. "Why would he leave all of a sudden? I thought..."That was when Emily broke. She pressed a hand over her mouth, her shoulders shaking, tears finally spilling freely down her face."Mum?" Jems reached forward from the back sea
