Elena looked into the man’s eyes, and her heart sank. The person lying on the bed didn’t look like her husband at all. She turned sharply to the doctor, confusion written all over her face.“Please, what name did you say this man’s name is again?” she asked, her voice shaking a little.The doctor looked taken aback, but he quickly tried to compose himself. “Ah, yes… the patient’s name is… ehm… let me just confirm from the records,” he stammered, glancing nervously at the clipboard in his hand.Before he could finish, Elena cut in sharply. “Doctor, this man here is not my husband,” she said firmly, her eyes darting around the room as if she could drag the truth out from the walls.The doctor’s face shifted from confusion to shock. He stepped back unconsciously, almost losing balance. “What do you mean he’s not your husband?” he asked.Elena quickly brought out her phone and opened her gallery. She showed the doctor a clear picture of her husband. “Here, look at this picture. This is my

"Can you please attend to me?" Elena asked, her voice rising with anger. She was tired of how the police officers were treating her, like she didn’t even exist. "I’ve been here since morning, and you still haven’t attended to me. What’s going on here?"One of the police officers looked at her for a second, then looked away, avoiding her eyes. "You can only get answers if you calm down," he said. "Better still, go home and come back when you’re calmer."This response made Elena even angrier. "Is this how you treat people?" she demanded. "My husband has been missing since yesterday, and you still haven’t come up with anything. Do you have any information at all?"The officer answered rudely, "If I may ask, did you come up with anything? Do you have any information that can help us?"Elena’s anger boiled over. "That’s your duty, not mine," she snapped.The police officer raised an eyebrow. "You’re not in a position to give us orders," he said. "We’re doing our best to find your husband,

Patricia paced back and forth in her room, worry etched deep into her face. She had been trying to reach her daughter, Elena, for hours, but Elena wasn’t picking up her calls. The silence of the room pressed on her like a graveyard, and Patricia’s anxiety grew heavier with every passing minute.She picked up her phone again and dialed Elena’s number. This time, Elena answered on the second ring. “Hello, where have you been?” Patricia asked, her voice trembling with worry.Elena’s response was sharp and curt. “I’m busy now, please. I’m not in the mood for your stress.” With that, she hung up, leaving Patricia stunned and deeply hurt.Patricia collapsed onto her bed, the weight of her emotions pulling her down. It felt like she had lost her daughter in that single moment. She couldn’t believe Elena no longer wanted to talk to her. “Oh no, what have I done to myself?” she thought painfully. “Even my daughter doesn’t want to hear my voice. I feel so ashamed of myself. I should have done b

Elena walked quickly from her room back to the living room, looking confused and tired. She was worried and didn't know where to go. She pulled out her phone and dialed Karvel's number again, but it was still switched off.Just then, the door opened forcefully, and Elena was surprised to see Liza standing in her house. "Oh, wow, look at the devil," Liza said with anger. "Where do you think you're going?"Elena acted like she didn't understand what Liza was up to and wanted to go out, which was impossible at that moment. "Please can you come back next time?" Elena said. "I'm too busy for your attitude."Liza's face twisted with anger. "You should be, after all the trouble you've caused," she said. "No peace for a wicked soul. If you know what's good for you, you'll go down and start begging for mercy."Elena laughed, her eyes flashing with anger. "Did you just say beg?" she repeated. "I'd rather die than beg. You all got what you deserved because of your greed. Face it alone."Liza's a

Robert stood frozen, his chest heaving with anger. At first, he said nothing, but his clenched fists and reddened face spoke for him. Finally, he snapped.“Do whatever you think is best for your foolish self,” he spat, his voice trembling with rage. He stepped closer to Patricia, his eyes blazing. “But don’t forget—Mother makes the decisions, and the whole family follows.”His tone carried both authority and a trace of fear. Patricia met his glare with calm defiance. For the first time in years, she was ready to stand up for her daughter against Robert’s mother.“If this is how you defend your mother, then it’s nothing but blind loyalty,” Patricia said firmly. “Everyone would finally have peace if you stopped acting like her obedient dog.” Her words were sharp, but she didn’t care—her daughter came first.Robert’s fury boiled over. “Do you even realize you’re talking about my mother?” he roared. “Or have you lost your mind?” He lunged closer, his anger ready to explode.Patricia laugh

Patricia’s hands clenched at her sides as she turned to face him fully, her eyes glistening with restrained tears.“You talk about consequences,” she said quietly, her voice trembling with both anger and pain. “But have you thought about the weight she carries? Every day she’s mocked, belittled, judged for every choice she makes. And instead of protecting her, we let them tear her apart.”Her husband’s jaw tightened, but he didn’t look away. “Patricia… shielding her every time will not make her stronger. You’re a mother, I understand that. But life will not always give her comfort. Sooner or later, she must learn to stand alone.”Patricia shook her head, her voice breaking. “She doesn’t need to stand alone she needs someone to stand with her. And if no one else will, then I will. Even if it means going against all of you.”The two stood in silence, the sounds of laughter and music spilling faintly from the hall behind them. The contrast was sharp inside, a party trying to pretend all
