Chapter 4: The Aftermath

Bringing Mayia home changed the atmosphere of the cold, modern mansion. Arthur spent the evening sitting on the living room floor, still in his dress shirt, feeding Mayia treats while Lily slept peacefully on the couch.
His phone buzzed relentlessly. It was Elena. She was sending barrages of texts: apologies, threats to sue, demands for her clothes, and most disgustingly, demanding he call a plumber to retrieve her diamond.
Arthur blocked her number. He called his head of security. ""Pack up every single item belonging to Elena. Leave it in boxes at the front gate. If she sets foot on the property, call the police."" He was done playing games. His priority was the little girl sleeping on his couch.
