Selene:
If life had a spinning wheel, mine would be spinning out of control.
Chaos. That’s what my world feels like. One disaster after another, piling on top of each other.
First, I got hit by a car. Then, I barely survived being poisoned. Not long after that, my children were kidnapped from school. And now? Now Nelly is stuck in a wheelchair, with no clear answer on when—or if—she’ll ever walk again.
Whoever ran her over wasn’t just reckless. They were brutal.
She’s devastated. She barely leaves her room, convinced that her life is over. That she’s useless to me now.
Nothing I say seems to get through to her. She keeps insisting that I’ll fire her or abandon her just because she can’t take care of Anna and Asher anymore.
As if she’s just some employee.
She’s family. M
