Chapter 90: Tangled Lies SARAH’S POV The fluorescent light in my apartment flickered, casting shadows across the peeling wallpaper, the air thick with the stale scent of coffee and despair. I paced the hardwood, my bare feet slapping, my pregnant belly straining against my tank top, my heart pounding with frustration. A week had passed since I’d spun my lies to the Caldwell’s, painting their foster son as the villain abandoning me and my baby, their eyes wide, their promises to rein him in ringing in my ears.

The server had been my performer for the evening. He had lost. I had basically re-staged the party I had reminded Jade of with the grapes and honey. But this time, there were ten participants on the board, not four. And the guests were older, more mature, not as overzealous as the first set I had hosted. There was honey, there was wine, but no grapes. Toys were used instead, and the players had lasted longer. It had been a fun three hours, but it had not been the same.

Especially Charlie. It was six thirty in the evening when I started cooking. I made dry Pork Adobo and cooked rice as well. The day passed so quickly. Night came again, and tomorrow, morning will come again. It’s all just repetitive. “Hello, Mama!” I suddenly looked up when my child arrived. He was with his grandma, who had also just come home from work. Madrid immediately came over to me and hugged me tightly. “How are you, baby? How’s school?” I asked him.

Somewhere out there, the work wasn't finished. But we'd started. That was something. "Hey," Dante said. "What are you thinking?" "I'm thinking we should dance." "There's no music." "So?" He stood and pulled me to my feet. We swayed in the study, no music playing, just the sound of our breathing and the distant hum of the city. "I love you," he said. "I know." "Stubborn." "Patient." He laughed, and I laughed, and somewhere in the house, our daughter slept peacefully, unaware of the battles her parents had fought to get here.

“We don’t need milk anymore.” “That’s right, Robbie, baby,” Paul placed his gadget on the glass table. “Soon, when you and Margie get bigger, both of you will leave daddy.” “Even mommy?” Robin pouted. “No, baby, mommy stays with me. I love her so much that I married her.” Paul looked straight at his wife possessively. He smirked before blowing her a kiss. Leah quickly scowled before smiling and returning his kiss. Robby cheered while Margie didn’t buy it.

Clara chimed in just as enthusiastically. Poppy began to smile brightly when she saw others so enthusiastic about what she’d done; of course, she didn’t tell them that she was the one who’d set a trap for Samantha and her friends. After receiving a cold reaction from Evander regarding this, Poppy started to feel a little guilty about what she’d done to Samantha. And now, seeing that people were enthusiastic about hearing what happened to Samantha and her group, Poppy told the story with enthusiasm. Stella and Clara listened intently to Poppy’s account of Samantha and her group’s capture.

“Deal or not?” Javier tried not to laugh. “Okay, fine. No pinch, no kiss, no kartoshka, no stealing candy.” He held up three fingers like he was being sworn in. “Just for today. Tomorrow, we renegotiate.” “No,” Poppy cut in quickly. “Today and tomorrow. And… until I’m grown.” “How old is ‘grown’?” I asked. Poppy thought hard. “Twenty-three. Like Mommy when… when…” She glanced at me, remembering something she absolutely shouldn’t mention. “When Mommy had a stupid idea.”

He pressed further, but Lily didn't utter a word as she turned and closed the door. “Who was that?” Mila queried curiously. “The delivery guy.” Lily said and rolled her eyes. “He kept talking about being in the neighborhood, blah blah blah…” Lily added, and Mila laughed. “What? What's so funny?” Lily faked a frown. “It seems like you're caught between the boy next door and the boy in the neighborhood.” Mila teased. “Watch your mouth, or you will have to watch me devour every piece of this pizza.” Lily threatened, and Mila stifled her laughter while raising her hand in surrender.

“The last couple of months have not been easy for me, I couldn’t tell you anything because I just didn’t want worry you…….” Fernanda begun to tell them everything, which surprisingly took a whole hour to explain. The more she explained the more Stacey’s strong stubborn stance loosened up, she even knelt to be closer to Fernanda as she went on further in her experience. Brianna laid still on her bed still taking everything in and wondering how one person could stand all that. Just as Fernanda was about to end with the biggest news, being the baby, their door flung wide open and Gavin walked in.
