Overwhelmed by the chaos that surrounded us, I found myself screaming at everyone involved, demanding that they stop trying to take Alice away.
As they persisted in their attempts to leave with her, I frantically grabbed Alice's hand, determined to protect her from the situation that threatened to engulf her.
The situation quickly escalated into a heated argument, with all of us shouting and struggling over Alice's fate.
The once-harmonious atmosphere was now filled with anger, pain, and anguish, as we fought over the well-being of someone we all cared for deeply.
Aiden grabbed her and I also grabbed her, we were fighting over her.
Through the tears streaming down her face, Alice was caught in the midst of this bitter dispute, her innocence tarnished by the ugliness that had consumed us.
The intensity of the situation continued to escalate, and I found myself locked in a physical altercation with Aiden.
In the heat of the moment, Aiden delivered a punch to my stomach, a blow that left me gasping for breath and writhing in pain.
As the chaos unfolded around us, Alice's cries and screams pierced the air, her anguish amplifying the situation that enveloped us all.
In that moment, I felt a deep sense of despair, knowing that our conflict had not only caused harm to ourselves but had also left Alice vulnerable and terrified.
Despite the pain that coursed through my body, I managed to gather my strength and look around for Alice.
However, as I struggled to regain my composure, I realized that she had been taken away by those who had instigated this entire ordeal.
Overwhelmed by grief, I collapsed onto the ground, tears streaming down my face as I clutched my aching stomach.
The situation now weighed heavily upon me, and I couldn't help but feel responsible for the chaos that had befallen us.
As I lay there, vulnerable and in pain, I knew that I had to find a way to pick myself up and continue fighting for the well-being of Alice and our family.
They will pay!
AIDEN'S POV
As I stepped into the world without Eleanor, I found myself embracing a new reality with Alice by my side.
Our journey together led us to Astrid's dungeon, a place that held both mystery and potential success.
In the moments leading up to our entrance, Alice's sobs filled the air, her tears a reflection of the uncertainty that surrounded us.
I tried my best to comfort her, urging her to stop crying as we ventured into the unknown.
Upon entering the dungeon, we were greeted by Stella, who was busy preparing dinner.
Goodness, a four-year-old preparing dinner? She is well-disciplined.
The atmosphere was tense, yet there was a sense of relief in finally being away from Eleanor's grasp.
As Astrid finished cooking, we found ourselves seated at the table, the meal now prepared.
In an attempt to establish some form of order in this new environment, I boldly declared that the man in the house should be allowed to eat first, with the girls following once the meal had been consumed by the man.
My actions were met with a mixture of surprise and curiosity from those around me, as I took the first few bites of the food placed before me.
As I ate, I couldn't help but feel the weight of everyone's gazes upon me.
It was an unusual situation, one that highlighted the power dynamics and the need for a new sense of normalcy in our lives.
I hoped that my decision would be seen as a step towards establishing a more equitable relationship among us, one that would allow us all to grow and thrive in this new chapter of our lives.
