Taking a deep breath is even more impossible and I struggle for sips of air. After a second or two, the pain eases up and I'm able to pull up my heavy head. I watch as Atticus approaches, prowling toward me like a big, ghostly cat. I struggle to get to my feet, but stumble back, hitting my head hard against the wall. I feel warm blood roll down my neck. I'm beaten and he knows it. CHAPTER 52 ** Brad ** Man to Man "You had a chance to leave, yet you chose to stay," Atticus says, looking genuinely curious. "Do you love her?"

But as she made to scurry off, I gave her a warning she was certain not to disobey. "You know better than to bother the elders about this little incident." "She's crazy! You're crazy! Everyone's crazy!" Benedicta screamed before running off. I ignored her and knocked. But when I got no response, I hurried inside only to be bewildered by the sight that greeted my eyes. At a corner of the restroom, was the squatted form of Anita, looking so ghostly pale and almost devoid of life. "Anita," I called gently, walking over to squat beside her. The sight of her looking this way was one I had never seen, and it only meant one thing. She was having a trauma attack.

I'm getting caught. ----- Do you think Anita already knows she's in her room? Drop your response in the comments👇

The divorce papers would be delivered to Charles in the morning, and there would be no going back. Anita stood, her heart lighter but her mind sharper. “Thank you,” she said quietly, shaking her lawyer’s hand before leaving the office. Stepping out onto the street, she felt the cool evening air against her skin. The weight of the day still lingered, but beneath it, a flicker of hope emerged. Leaving behind a life of lies, she was reclaiming her own story. --- The next morning at Blackwood Mansion. “Are you feeling okay?” Damian asked, stepping inside her room.

she whispered, her fingers white- knuckled as she gripped the strap of her bag. She leaned in closer, the scent of damp skin and something metallic, like old coins, clinging to her hoodie. “They’re going to notice I’m gone. I had to tell them I was going to the pharmacy.” I guess that explains why she was late. She had to get away from somebody. “I understand,” I said, trying to project a calmness I clearly lacked. “Do you have it?” Anita didn’t respond with words. She reached into the depths of her messenger bag, her movements jerky. First, she brought out a thick Manila envelope, the edges stuffed so full they were beginning to fall apart. She slid it across the table with a silent thud.

Mom's voice came from behind me, anger edged with panic. I said nothing. The night air felt even colder now. My cheek still burned. I pulled out my phone and called the bank. "Hi, I need to freeze my credit card immediately and remove the authorized user from my account." *** Late that night, I lay on a plastic bench in the bus terminal, listening to the announcements echo overhead.

There, she passed countless rooms that belonged to the female students who attended the boarding school. When she passed one room before her room, she saw a group of girls circling another girl who stood there, looking terrified. The group bullied the girl and took her candy. Because this was Anita's second day in the school, she didn't know anyone, but she noticed the girl who always sat alone in the class and sometimes in front of the school's building as if she was waiting for someone to pick her up. She never smiled, much less talking to anyone. She always had

However, I eventually did remember that the original copies of the handouts were with her so I followed her. I haven't even gone far when we bumped into each other and I held her in my arms to steady her. Looking into her face, I saw how pale the child was. “Anita?! Hey, what happened to you?!
