---- I pulled out my phone, my hands shaking as I accessed the security footage. "Here, watch this," I said, my voice tight. "I installed this camera the first day I moved in. Just in case Sera ever came home. But instead, it captured something else." The video played, showing Mireille climbing into my bed, her movements slow and deliberate. I was already half-drunk and barely conscious. I could see myself try to push her off when I woke up. But Mireille didn't let go. She held on, refusing to give up her grip. After a struggle, I managed to break free, and Mireille fell to the floor on her own. The entire time, I hadn't touched her-not even close. The footage made it crystal clear. Evelyn's face drained of color as she watched the video, her eyes widening in disbelief. She turned to Mireille, fury and something darker in her expression. "Mireille, is this what you called ' comforting' him?" "Mother, I-" "Js that the story you're telling me?" Evelyn ---- interrupted, her voice shaking with anger. "If Elias hadn't gotten the video to prove his innocence, were you planning to use my sympathy to make me punish him just because he didn't want to sleep with you?" "Mother, please, calm down, just hear me out." Mireille scrambled forward, attempting to kneel at Evelyn's feet, but Evelyn pushed her aside with disgust. "JT thought you were a nice girl. From the first time you told me Sera pushed you, I believed you. I scolded her, I protected you-was all of that a lie? Were you faking it just to make me scold my own daughter for your performance?" "Mother..." Mireille's tears flowed freely, but no one was fooled now. She could cry all she wanted, but the video told the truth. She was nothing but a two-faced liar. "Micheal, I think it's time you took your daughter and left my house," Evelyn said without hesitation. She turned to face me, her eyes filled with regret. "I'm sorry. I misjudged you. I-" "Misjudging me isn't the issue right now," I cut her off, my voice sharp. "What matters is that Sera is still ---- missing, and we haven't heard from her." Evelyn froze, her regret deepening. "You're right..." she whispered, her voice thick with guilt. "We... Ihave to find her, and I need to ask her so many things..." I could see the realization dawning on her. She had believed Mireille's lies for too long. Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
