Aria
The last thing on earth I needed was Helena trailing me all the way home.
My life was a dumpster fire. I had two babies, a sick grandfather-in-law, a crumbling marriage, and a divorce plan I was trying to keep hidden.
The last thing I had energy for on my to-do list was "enduring mother-in-law crisis."
But nope. She stuck to me like glue, following every single move
The moment I stepped into the house, she was right behind me. She angrily whipped out her phone.
“Luca! Your wife—” she began immediately, like she’d been rehearsing the speech in the car.
I didn’t stick around to hear the rest. I scooped up Aurora, checked on Adrian, then headed upstairs before Helena gave herself a throat injury screaming about how ungrateful I was.
Her voice carried anyway. Pap
