Chapter: Chapter Twenty One“Why was she here, never let her in again, understood”, Mr. Liam spat out the words in anger. I could pick up the words even when I was outside.

Chapter: Chapter Nineteen“Good morning Miss Rosa”, I said as I greeted her warmly. “ Good morning too dear”, Miss Rosa replied with a faint aura of distress, leaving me concerned. I gazed at her intensely and asked, “what's wrong Miss Rosa? I noticed you haven't been okay since yesterday”. She glanced around nervously, ensuring we were alone before focusing on me again. Her eyes locked onto mine, hesitant to speak openly. “ Can I trust you Miss Emily “, she said as she looked at me cautiously, her voice barely above a whisper.

Because there was no one at home, Mr. Liam had agreed that Mia shall always be dropped at his residence so that we can leave together once it was my time to go. My departure time was 8:00pm, once Riley was off to bed. I had to make sure she had gone to bed before I left.
