“Mom. Are you alright?” Carl asked, his brown orbs hovering over Emerald’s features, a hint of concern in them

The thunder rumbled and the clouds congregated, their dark masses ominous and foreboding. Emerald gasped as the chilly air came in contact with her skin. Carl glanced around and he noticed some people exiting the park

    Emily's POV My chest constricted as the time ticked by.. That afternoon after picking Carl from school, I relaxed on the sofa and watched his favourite animation with him. I tried to engage in some activities with him so I could shove off those pressing thoughts in my mind. Minutes turned into hours and it was eventually in the evening. Carl shifted his gaze at me and asked, “Mom. I'm getting hungry. When will I eat dinner?” “I'll go prepare your favourite meal now,” I said, brushing his hair with my fingers. After planting a kiss on his head, I got on my feet and strolled to the kitchen. “Help me with the utensils.

    Collin’s POV I tried reaching Emerald for the umpteenth time, but all I got was the same robotic voice on her cell phone: “The number you’ve dialed is not reachable at the moment. Please try again later.”A deep sigh of exhaustion escaped my lips as I tossed the phone on my sofa. My stomach bubbles with frustration as I clench my fist. Gritting my teeth, I banged my fist on the wall and growled.“What have I done? What the fuck have I done?. I - I failed you, Emerald.

Bringing my hand upward, I brushed my fingers into my hair and sighed once again.“I’m at fault for everything that happened.. I should have just told her the truth back then. I recalled when Colin had told me to make her aware of my involvement in the Mafia but I had refused. I should have told her since..” I walked into the kitchen and placed my h
