Living Nightmare

**Back to the present**

“Homewrecker! Homewrecker! Homewrecker!”

The violent chanting continued and began seeping into my consciousness, dragging me back to the present. Disaster seemed to be staring me right in the face.

“Leya…” Bradon whispered my name right beside my ear.

His presence close to me reminded me that, unlike that day back then, I wasn’t alone. I had Bradon by my side, and, on top of that, everyone was here with me: Desmond and my sister. I suddenly felt a surge of confidence that made me believe that there could be a way out, one that would save us all from this dire situation my father had plotted against us.
