8 Taking Back Control
In the grand hallway of the Alex’s mansion, Emma faced her ex–mother in–law, her posture unyielding. She had come to reclaim what was rightfully hers, and Alex’s mother’s vehement protests only steeled her determination.
Alex’s mother, her face twisted with anger, clutched at the luxurious items Emma had once gifted her. The ruby necklace, a particular point of contention, gleamed mockingly around her neck. Her sense of entitlement to these gifts was clear.
Amidst the tension, Jada couldn’t suppress a chuckle. Observing Michelle’s blatant greed, she stepped forward, her voice resolute. “If you don’t return Emma’s belongings willingly, we’ll have no choice but to take them ourselves.”
Emma’s ex–mother in–law, infuriated by Jada’s audacity, raised her hand to strike her. But Jada, swift and unshakable, caught her wrist effortlessly, her eyes cold and determined.
Emma watched silently, a sense of pride swelling within her. The bond she shared with Jada, forged over years of friendship, was her greatest strength.
Stepping forward, Emma focused on retrieving her belongings. Jada, still gripping Alex mother’s wrist, ensured there would be no further interruptions.
The older woman’s outrage escalated, her threats becoming more extravagant. She accused them of theft and home invasion, her voice reaching a fever pitch.
Jada, undaunted, issued a dire warning, her tone ominous. “Perhaps, you need to know the fate of those who’ve crossed me in the past,” she said, her words sending a shiver down Alex’s mother’s
spine.

Ignoring Alex’s mother’s continued but subdued protests, Emma made her way upstairs, her resolve unwavering. Each step she took echoed through the hall, a symbol of her newfound empowerment.
As Emma disappeared upstairs, Jada stood guard, her eyes scanning the room with an unspoken challenge. She reflected on the suffering Emma must have endured in this house, her disdain for the older woman deepening by the second. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
