Miracle on Hollow Peak THIS WAS MY FIGHT!
KIRAThe moment I saw Gabriel in the doorway with Maddie in his arms, being the early morning, I simply went crazy.“What do you mean?” Gabriel asked without a hint of agitation. “I’ve been looking for my daughter for half a day and she shows up in your arms practically the next day and you didn’t even bother to call me to let me know she’s okay?” I exploded. And as if he didn’t listen to me he put Maddie down and walked nonchalantly into the house.“Thank you for finding her, Gabriel, and bringing her home safe and sound,” he said as he walked past me.I was expecting a heated argument. What argument was I saying? A war in the genuine sense of the word.“I can’t believe you didn’t bring Maddie home as soon as you found her. It was after midnight, and I was so worried about her,” I yelled at the top of my lungs, watching Maddie already going upstairs.“I understand you were worried, Kira, but I didn’t feel comfortable bringing Maddie home by myself in the middle of the night. I thou
Miracle on Hollow Peak MY FIGHT WAS COMING
KIRA“My friend, I am here now,” Alana said and wrapped her warm arms around me. I needed that hug like I needed air to breathe. “Alana, I’m so glad you’re here. I need to talk to you about something really important,” I told her, holding her gaze. We eventually sat on the couch. It felt like the earth was shaking under my feet. “Ok, now you can tell me. What’s going on?” she said, grabbing my hands. “Gabriel brought Maddie home in the morning like nothing happened and I snapped. I yelled at him. He had no rights and that he is not the father to tell me what is best for Maddie and what is not. And that was when Gabriel made a threat. He said that my words will cost me dearly and that things won’t stay the way they are.” “What does that mean?” she asked.“I’m scared that he’s going to find out that Maddie is his daughter and file a paternity suit against me. He is capable of threatening me with a lawsuit,” I explained. “Wait, why would he do that? Maddie is five years old now. Wh
Miracle on Hollow Peak SO MUCH CLOSER
GABRIEL I was so pissed off. Enraged. I had been thinking about this for a while now, and I had concluded that it was finally time to take action. It was time to sue Kira for full custody of my little girl, Maddie. It had been a constant source of frustration for me that Kira had hidden Maddie’s identity from me for so long. I couldn’t help but feel like she’s been intentionally keeping Maddie away from me. It was not right, and it was not fair to Maddie. I tried to be understanding of Kira’s situation. I knew that being a single parent was hard, and I tried to be there for Maddie as much as possible since I met her. But I realized now that Kira was not willing to cooperate. Mostly because of her misplaced reaction to our last meeting. She was not interested in co-parenting or sharing custody. She was not willing to compromise. It was time for me to take matters into my own hands. I couldn’t just sit back and let Kira call all the shots. Maddie deserved to have a relationship wit
Miracle on Hollow Peak IT HAS BEGUN!
KIRA“What the hell is this, Alana?” I asked, reading an envelope that clearly said someone summoned me to Court. I didn’t even have to open it to figure out what was inside. Alana was standing in front of me at the kitchen table sipping coffee. I skipped work, and she did, too. She didn’t want to leave me alone. “Alana, I don’t know what to do. I just received this envelope from the court and it’s a citation in my name,” I said in a panic.“What? What does it say?” she asked.“Gabriel is petitioning me for full custody of Maddie. The man is crazy.” “Oh my God! Ok, we knew this would happen. Are you ok with this?” “No, I’m not okay. I’m freaking out. There is nothing I can do. I feel like I’m going to lose Maddie.” I said, and tears started welling up in my eyes.“Kira, you need to stay calm. The best thing to do right now is to contact Mark. You need to tell him everything from the day you conceived Maddie until you kicked Gabriel out of your life. He will know what to do and how
Miracle on Hollow Peak REMOVING HIM
KIRA“OK, Mark, I will tell you everything that happened between me and Gabriel,” I said, acknowledging that if I wanted this to work, I would have to be totally honest with him. “Of course, Kira. You can trust me. Tell me all about it!” he said, giving me the exact confidence I needed.“Well, it all started when I first met Gabriel. He was my direct manager, and I was immediately wary of him because of his reputation as a womanizer. But over time, I fell for him.” I started gulping a few times, thinking of how stupid I was.“I see. And what happened next?” “One day, Gabriel made advances on me, and I resisted at first. But eventually, I gave in, and we started a relationship. It was intense, and we even went on Hollow Peak for Christmas five years ago, where Maddie was conceived. But that you already know. It was then that my decline begun” “I know, no need to remember that time again. One question is bothering me. I could tell you loved him, Kira. Why did you decide to leave Gabr
Miracle on Hollow Peak MY HEART INTO PIECES
KIRA “Good morning everyone. This is the custody trial for young Maddie Reed. We have Mrs. Reed’s lawyer, Mr. Mark Johnson, and Mr. Gabriel Bates’ lawyer, Miss. Cindy Melling. And of course, we have Miss Kira Reed and Mr. Gabriel Bates, the two parents, and little Maddie, the child who is the subject of this custody dispute. Miss Reed, would you like to begin?” Judge Smith said, and my heart jumped. I didn’t expect to be the first to start. Let the battle begin. “Thank you, your honor. I want to start by saying that I am a good and respectable mother. I have always put Maddie’s needs first, even when Gabriel and I were together. However, Gabriel was quick-tempered and a womanizer. That is why I left him, even though I was already pregnant.” I started in a determined voice. “Objection, Your Honor. These claims are unfounded and irrelevant.” Gabriel’s lawyer intervened. “Overruled, Miss Melling. Please, Miss Reed, you may continue.” Judge Smith interrupted Gabriel’s lawyer. “Thank
Miracle on Hollow Peak ONE DAY...
KIRAI couldn’t believe it. After everything that had happened, after all the time and effort and love that I had poured into raising Maddie, the judge ruled that Gabriel would have full custody. I felt like I’d been hit with a ton of bricks. I felt lost, confused, and angry.And that was when I lost it.“No, how can you do that?” I snapped angrily and right when I wanted to leave my seat Mark stopped me.“Kira, behave yourself. We will appeal” “Appeal what? This heartless judge just ruined Maddie’s life and mine. Why? Don’t you have children?” I yelled pounding my fists on the table.“Bailiff, please escort Miss Reed outside,” I heard the judge say and as much as I struggled I was no match for the man kicking me out. Only my little girl’s face remained engraved in my mind, crying helplessly.How could the judge make such a decision? Didn’t he understand how much Maddie meant to me, how much I had sacrificed for her? Didn’t he see how much I loved her, how much I’d tried to provide
Miracle on Hollow Peak OUR FIRTS DAY
GABRIELI couldn’t believe it. After months of fighting, the court had finally granted me full custody of Maddie. I should be elated, ecstatic even, but I couldn’t shake this feeling of unease. Winning custody meant that Maddie would live with me full time, and that was all I ever wanted. But at what cost?Kira, the woman I loved, had been devastated since the ruling. I had never seen her so defeated before. And it was all because of me. I knew I fought hard for Maddie, but I couldn’t help feeling guilty. Kira was Maddie’s mother, and she deserved to be in her daughter’s life. But she made that choice when she withheld Maddie’s identity from me. How was I supposed to raise a child I didn’t even know existed?I tried to be fair. She didn’t want me in Maddie’s life, and that hurt. I couldn’t understand why she would deny me the chance to be a part of my own daughter’s life. So I fought for full custody, and I won. Maddie was going to grow up without her mother. That was not something I
