A NEW DAY

They stayed there for a while, enjoying the quiet of the night. The stars above twinkled like distant promises of everything that was yet to come. Amelia’s thoughts drifted to the future, to the days ahead when their family would grow. She imagined Jackson as a big brother, the look of wonder and excitement on his face when he first met his sibling. The thought filled her with a deep sense of contentment. As the night grew later and the cool air began to seep into their bones, Amelia and Alexander eventually made their way back inside. The house was quiet now, save for the soft hum of the refrigerator and the distant sound of Jackson’s steady breathing from his room. They headed upstairs to their bedroom, and Amelia changed into her pajamas, the soft fabric comforting against her skin. Alexander joined her in bed a few moments later, his presence as steady and reassuring as ever. As he slipped under the covers and pulled her close, Amelia felt the weight of the day finally catchin

A WELCOME SUPRISE

After breakfast, the school bus arrived to pick up Jackson. Amelia watched from the front door as he ran down the driveway, waving enthusiastically before hopping on the bus. She waved back, her heart swelling with love for the little boy. She stood there for a moment after the bus drove away, enjoying the peaceful morning air before returning inside. With Jackson at school and Alexander at the office, Amelia was left alone in the house, save for the maid who was there to help with the household chores. It was quiet, almost too quiet, but Amelia didn’t mind. She liked the calmness that came with having the house to herself, giving her time to relax and reflect. She made her way upstairs, intending to spend the morning catching up on some reading or perhaps doing some light organizing around the house. But as she reached the top of the stairs, a sound caught her attention—a car pulling into the driveway. Amelia froze for a moment, listening intently. Who could it be? She wasn’t exp

A TASTE OF HOME

It was clear that Evelyn had been following the news closely, but she didn’t press Amelia for details or gossip. Instead, she listened with genuine concern, offering words of support and reassurance. “I know the media can be relentless,” Evelyn said after a while, her voice was steady and calm. “But don’t let them get to you. What matters most is your family, and we’re all here for you, no matter what.” Amelia nodded, feeling a sense of relief settle over her. Evelyn had a way of making everything seem more manageable, even in the midst of chaos. They continued talking for a while, the conversation flowing easily between them, and for the first time in days, Amelia felt a sense of peace. As the afternoon light shifted, casting a golden hue over the house, Amelia felt a sense of calm settle in, even though the recent days had been anything but peaceful. She knew that Jackson, her son, would soon be back from school, and the thought of having the family together again after such a

A FLICKER OF HOPE

The familiar clatter of dishes and Jackson’s animated chatter filled the room, creating an atmosphere that felt almost serene. Amelia couldn’t help but smile as her son recounted the details of his school day with the kind of boundless energy only a child could have. Jackson, always full of stories, waved his arms in excitement as he talked about his art class. “Mom! Dad! I drew the biggest dragon today! Mrs. Carson said it was the best one she’s seen all year!” His eyes sparkled with pride, his face lighting up with enthusiasm. “That’s amazing, sweetheart,” Amelia said, her smile widening as she listened to him. The joy in his voice, the innocence in his excitement—it was the kind of moment that reminded her of what truly mattered, despite the turbulence they had been facing lately. Evelyn, seated at the head of the table, watched Jackson with her usual warmth and patience. “I can’t wait to see it,” she said, her voice soft yet full of genuine interest. “I bet it’s the most ma

MY MOTHER'S ABSENCE

It had already been four months since Chloe’s arrest, and Alexander’s family had finally settled into a sense of peace—one that felt long overdue. The chaos that Chloe had caused, the tension that had rippled through their household, was gone, leaving an air of calm that both Alexander and Amelia had craved for so long. Life, however, wasn’t as simple as closing the door on the past and moving forward, especially not for Jackson. Jackson, Chloe’s son, was only six years old, too young to understand why his mother wasn’t around anymore. Too young to comprehend the complexities of the situation or why everyone seemed so hesitant to talk about her. His world had suddenly shifted, and the person he had relied on the most—his mother—was no longer there to comfort him. And it showed. He asked about her every day, sometimes multiple times a day, his innocent eyes wide with hope, waiting for an answer that never seemed to come. "Where's Mom?" Jackson would ask Alexander with a frown as he

MY MOTHER'S ABSENCE*2

"She’s just really busy right now," Amelia said, her voice barely above a whisper. "But she’s thinking about you every day. She loves you so much, Jackson." Jackson didn’t respond. He just turned over in bed, facing the wall, and clutched his stuffed bear even tighter. Amelia sat there for a moment longer, unsure of what to say or do. She wished she could fix this for him, take away the pain he was feeling. But all she could do was be there for him, even if her presence wasn’t enough to fill the void Chloe had left behind. Later that night, after Jackson had finally fallen asleep, Amelia made her way downstairs to the living room, where Alexander was sitting on the couch, his laptop open in front of him as he went over some documents for work. He looked up as she entered the room, immediately noticing the weariness in her expression. "How is he?" Alexander asked, concern lacing his voice. "He cried himself to sleep again," Amelia replied, sinking onto the couch beside him. "He

TORN BETWEEN LOVE AND JUSTICE

Amelia walked slowly up the stairs, her mind preoccupied with thoughts of Jackson and his struggles lately. As she reached the top, she paused outside Alexander's study room, her hand hovering over the doorknob. She knew she needed to talk to him about Jackson, but part of her dreaded the conversation. They had both been through so much recently, and the last thing she wanted to do was add more stress to an already complicated situation. Taking a deep breath, she knocked softly before pushing the door open. Alexander was sitting at his desk, his attention focused on a set of documents spread out in front of him. He looked up as she entered, his expression softening when he saw her standing there. "Hey, Amelia," he greeted, setting his pen down and leaning back in his chair. "Everything alright?" Amelia gave him a small smile, but it didn’t quite reach her eyes. "I need to talk to you about Jackson," she began, her voice a little hesitant. She crossed the room, coming to stand near

TIDES OF UNCERTAINTY

Amelia sighed, crossing her arms over her chest as she mulled over his words. "It’s just... hard," she said after a moment. "After everything she put us through... I don’t want her back in our lives. But at the same time, I can’t stand to see Jackson hurting like this." Alexander stepped closer to her, his hand gently brushing her arm. "I know it’s hard," he said softly. "But we’ll deal with it together, just like we always do. Whatever happens, we’ll face it as a team." Amelia looked up at him, her heart swelling with love for the man standing in front of her. He was always so strong, so steady, even in the face of difficult decisions. She knew he was right—releasing Chloe might be the only way to help Jackson. But that didn’t make it any easier to accept. "Okay," she said finally, her voice quiet but resolute. "If you think it’s the right thing to do, then... I’ll support you." Alexander smiled softly, pulling her into a gentle embrace. "Thank you," he murmured against her h

THE WEIGHT OF CHOICE

And that was what gnawed at Amelia’s conscience. No matter how toxic Chloe had been, she was still Jackson’s mother. Could they really keep her away from him forever? Was it fair to let Jackson suffer because of the mistakes his mother had made? The next morning, Amelia woke up before dawn, her thoughts still swirling. She slipped out of bed quietly, careful not to wake Alexander, and made her way downstairs. The house was still, the air cool and quiet. She walked into the kitchen, where the faint scent of coffee lingered from the night before. She filled a glass with water and sat at the kitchen table, staring into the darkness outside. She thought about Jackson, about how she would explain Chloe’s return to him. Would he be excited to see her? Would he be confused about why she had been gone for so long? The questions felt endless, and she didn’t have all the answers. All she knew was that she had to put his well-being first. A few hours later, Amelia heard footsteps behind

THE QUIET RETURN

The morning of Chloe’s release, Alexander woke up early, his mind restless. He could hear the faint hum of Amelia’s breathing as she slept beside him, oblivious to the weight of the decision he was about to make. As he lay there, staring up at the ceiling, he couldn’t help but think of all the chaos Chloe had brought into their lives. But for Jackson’s sake, he was willing to go through with it. The boy had been heartbroken, missing his mother deeply, and no matter what Chloe had done, she was still his mother. When Alexander arrived at the facility, the atmosphere felt colder than usual. The grey walls seemed even more oppressive than the last time he had been here, and the sterile scent of the place filled his senses. The receptionist, a stern woman who appeared unfazed by the heavy emotions that passed through her workplace every day, handed him a clipboard to sign. He scribbled his name, feeling a strange mix of anticipation and apprehension. "Chloe would be brought out soon.
