"I'm almost there." He texted me again.
But when the elevator doors opened on the tenth floor, I froze.
"Fiona?" My voice was tense.
I stood tall as the group stepped out.
Fiona marched toward me, her eyes burning with rage.
"Aria! How dare you show your face here!"
I didn't move an inch.
"What do you mean?" I asked calmly.
"Isaac has a fever! His core is burning up!" Fiona shouted, pointing a finger at me.
"As his mother, why didn't you even check on him?"
"Isaac has Kierra's full attention," I replied, looking Fiona straight in the eye.
"And he told me himself—he doesn't want me near him."
"What?!" Fiona's chest heaved with fury.
She had never seen me this way.
Without warning, Fiona swung her hand with all her strength.
The sound echoed through the silent hall
