It’s been a while,” Mr Donald said, pulling his son into a warm embrace.“It has dad,” Scot replied, stepping into the grand foyer.

The next morning, the sun’s rays filtered through the sheer curtains of Scot and Mia's apartment, casting a warm glow over the room. Scot sat at the kitchen table, a cup of coffee steaming beside him, but his mind was elsewhere. Last night’s confrontation with Jane had left him emotionally drained, but it had also sparked a renewed sense of determination.Mia entered the kitchen, her face reflecting a mix of exhaustion and resolve.

Jane sat in the dimly lit living room of her apartment, the shadows cast by the storm outside stretching long and distorted across the walls. The room, once a reflection of her successful and controlled life, had now become a chaotic mess—echoing the tumult in her mind. The polished surfaces and neatly arranged furniture seemed to mock her, a cruel reminder of the life she once had, now slipping through her fingers.She had tried everything to regain control: manipulation, deceit, and leveraging every bit of power she had. But Mia remained steadfast by Scot’s side, and each passing day made Jane’s attempts feel more futile.

Scot drove through the quiet, tree-lined streets of the suburban neighborhood, each turn and curve bringing him closer to Jane's mother's house. The serene environment contrasted sharply with the turmoil that had defined his recent weeks. Jane’s behavior had spiraled to a level that made him uneasy, and he hoped that speaking with her mother might offer a glimmer of hope.Arriving at the modest, yet well-kept house, Scot took a deep breath before stepping out of the car. He approached the front door and rang the bell, the sound echoing softly in the stillness of the afternoon. After a few moments, the door creaked open, revealing Jane's mother, Eleanor, standing on the threshold.Eleanor's eyes were red-rimmed and tired, a testament to the emotional strain she had endured. Her face, once confident, now bore the marks of a woman deeply troubled. She managed a weak smile as she greeted Scot.“Mr. Frankenstein, it’s… good to see you,” she said, her voice trembling slightly.“Eleanor,” Sc
