“Divorce! You have to divorce!” Aaron’s father glared at me with anger.
“But you must leave my granddaughter with us! You’re leaving with nothing, you crazy woman!”
Aaron’s mother also sided with him. They completely ignored my years of contributions to the family.

to be watching the spectacle with detached
interest. Aaron’s father and mother stood in

I pulled out the divorce agreement and placed it

Aaron looked alarmed but still tried to be
defiant. “You need to leave our daughter with me! Where is my daughter?”

“Aaron, you killed her! You did! And you too!” I pointed at Rita with a face full of hatred.
