Mary stood on the balcony of the room she had slept in for the past three years. She didn't want to turn on the lights; the darkness of the night would hide the tears rolling down her cheeks.'This is over! I can't go on like this. I can't take it anymore,' she thought as she stared straight ahead.
Mary was exhausted from all the crying. As she put on her pajamas, she saw a large bruise on her stomach, caused by the blow her husband had landed earlier that day. A tear rolled down her cheek, but she chose not to think about it anymore. This wasn't the first time it had happened, so seeing her s
Mary lay down, trying to calm herself and find the right words to tell Catherine that divorce was the only viable option for her marriage. Suddenly, her phone buzzed with a new text message.[How did you like yesterday's scene?You know, this isn't the first time. We do it once or twice a day; your
After what felt like a long journey, the ambulance finally arrived at the hospital. Mary was pale and unconscious. One of the paramedics said, "She has lost a lot of blood. Let's hope we can still do something."Another said, "We have to. She's so young, she can't die like this.""I don't know what
As Maximus, Emma, and Catherine waited in a private room for news about Mary's condition, Catherine couldn't help but remember how the girl had come into their lives five years ago. Much of this information was unknown to Maximus.Mary had been 17 years old when she was suddenly forced to leave her

Celeste smiled at that, a rosy blush creeping onto her cheeks. Peter grinned at her reaction.A few hours later, they arrived home. Alden was waiting in the living room, visibly nervous. He hadn’t heard from his father since yesterday before he left for Galea. Peter usually didn’t do things like thi
The night passed quickly between kisses and caresses. Peter inhaled Celeste’s scent—her rosy fragrance gave him a deep sense of peace. Holding her close and feeling the occasional movement of their children inside her filled him with a strange pang in his chest. It wasn’t pain, nor was it anguish—it
