Ao No Waltz

Having been in a two-year long-distance relationship with my girlfriend, Kayleigh Richards, I finally have time to visit her family for the holidays. In doing so, I want to hash out the details of our upcoming wedding as well. What I didn't expect is that Kayleigh would actually show up with a hooligan at the banquet. She even goes as far as to terminate our engagement in front of everyone. The hooligan, Gerald Shaw, looks at me haughtily. A trace of mockery can be seen in his eyes when he notices how wretched I look. "What makes you think you can fight with me over my woman? Kay, how the heck did you even fall for this wretched-looking beggar in the first place? He's even carrying an old sack with him! Don't tell me he just came back from collecting the trash!" All of Kayleigh's relatives who are present at the banquet roar in laughter. My future mother-in-law even shoves me in an attempt to kick me out. I merely gaze at Kayleigh calmly. "Are you sure you want to choose him?" Kayleigh sneers at me in return. "You're just a stupid miner! Gerald's dad is the owner of the gold mine, you know!" I raise an eyebrow at her words. Then, I open the woven sack I've brought with me. The gold bricks that scatter from the sack shine brightly under the light. "Oh? I have no idea that my gold mine has somehow become someone else's property."

Acusou meu filho de estupro. No meio da audiência, Tiffany puxou a gola da blusa para baixo. Marcas vermelhas circundavam seu pescoço. — Ele tentou arrancar minha calça — disse soluçando — tentou se forçar em mim. Eu lutei. Então ele me bateu. Ele destruiu meu rosto! Do lado de fora do tribunal, manifestantes seguravam cartazes chamando meu filho de lixo, um riquinho mimado. Na internet, uma montagem minha viralizou. A legenda dizia: A mãe irresponsável tem que morrer junto com o filho. As ações da minha empresa despencaram. Mas eu apenas fiquei sentada ali. Com o rosto petrificado. Pedi que meu filho, Cooper, fosse trazido. As portas do tribunal se abriram. Cooper entrou.Todos ficaram paralisados.
