“My daughter has nothing to do with your son.” I could imagine Lily Stone, my once mother–in–law pleading with my mother that she wanted to talk to me once, only for my mom to refuse.
“She is not pregnant anymore because your son killed her child!” Lily Stone was stunned with her eyes wide with guilt as she stuttered on the other side of the phone- how was that possible.

“Elena. I have been calling you thousands of times every single day.
“Why do you refuse to see me?”
My throat constricted as I saw him

The shock made me smack his hands off
me as I couldn’t endure his touch.
“We are divorced.”
