Chapter 51: Work of the devil

~ DRUSCILLA ~The stall door creaked open.Isaac stepped out first, hurriedly fixing the collar of his shirt like a man trying to pretend nothing had happened. His hair was slightly disheveled, his breathing uneven. Patricia followed behind him, smoothing down her skirt with trembling hands, her fingers fumbling as if they had suddenly forgotten how to work.Then they saw me.Both of them froze.Their jaws slackened. Their eyes widened like they had just walked straight into a nightmare.For a second, the world tilted.My breath left my lungs so suddenly it felt like someone had punched me square in the chest.My mom.And Isaac.Oh my God.My hand flew to the wall beside me. I gripped it hard for support as the ground beneath my feet threatened to give way.Ivan rushed toward me immediately, his arm wrapping around my waist to steady me.“What the hell is going on?” he groaned, his eyes moving sharply between them and me.My hand lifted slowly, trembling as I pointed at them.I choked

Chapter 52: I'm not a murderer

~ DRUSCILLA ~ I couldn’t believe what I’d just heard. My own mother had given Avery poisoned juice. And the worst part? It was true. Every ugly bit of it. If I hadn’t caught her in that restroom with Isaac, legs wrapped around him like he was the last man on earth, I would’ve called the whole thing a lie. But there was no denying it now. The image was burned into my brain. Why him? Out of all the men in this city, why did she pick Isaac to be her dirty little secret? What the hell was so special about that man? My blood ran hot with rage. What she’d done was unforgivable. Avery had lost her baby because of her. Patricia. What a piece of work. A real queen of mischief.

I turned to Avery, keeping my voice soft even though my insides were screaming. “I have to go now. I’ll come check on you later.” Tears filled her eyes, making them shine under the hospital light

Chapter 53: I will get you a lawyer

DRUSCILLAI couldn’t believe what I had just heard.Mom had been arrested.The words still rang in my ears like a church bell struck too hard. Loud. Sharp. Unforgiving.Arrested.My hands felt cold, but my body was burning. My thoughts were running in circles.Who called the cops on her?How?Why?I sat frozen in the passenger seat, staring blankly ahead, barely noticing when Ivan stepped into the garage and shut the door behind him.He took one look at me and immediately frowned.“You look so pale, baby.”His voice was soft, careful.I swallowed hard, my throat suddenly dry.“My mom just got arrested,” I mumbled.For a second, even he looked stunned.“Oh…” he said quietly. “That’s bad.”I let out a shaky sigh and leaned my head back against the seat.“Yes.”The silence that followed felt heavy.Not awkward. Just heavy.Ivan slid into the driver’s seat and started the engine, but he didn’t pull away immediately. He glanced at me again, his expression gentler this time.“So… what do yo
