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
Miracle on Hollow Peak TIME TO PLAY
KIRA I never thought it would come to this. Losing custody of Maddie to Gabriel was the last thing I expected. I thought I was doing everything right, but the judge saw things differently. Now, my life had taken a turn for the worse, and I couldn’t seem to get back on track. The depression had been deepening since I lost Maddie. I felt like a part of me was missing, and no matter what I did, I couldn’t fill that void. The emptiness in my heart was suffocating, like I was drowning in my own despair. I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t eat, and I could barely function. It was so damn hard to imagine a life without Maddie. She was the reason I woke up in the morning and the last thing I thought about before I went to bed. Losing her like that was like losing a piece of my soul, and I didn’t know how to move on. Every day felt like an eternity, and the pain was unbearable. But I knew I had to do something with my time or I was definitely going to lose my mind. So, I filled my days with distra

KIRAAs I approached the Melting Pot restaurant, I noticed the modern, yet cozy exterior. The building was a mix of brick and dark wood paneling, giving it a rustic yet refined feel. The large glass windows wrapped around the front of the restaurant gave me a glimpse of the lively atmosphere inside.Above the entrance, a wooden sign with the words “The Melting Pot” in bold letters caught my eye. As I got closer, the smell of fresh herbs and spices wafted through the air, signaling the restaurant’s dedication to flavor and quality.On either side of the entrance, large potted plants added a touch of greenery to the sidewalk. They filled the outdoor seating area with comfortable chairs and tables, inviting you to take a seat and enjoy a meal alfresco.As I stepped inside, a warm and welcoming atmosphere greeted me, with soft lighting and cozy seating areas.

Miracle on Hollow Peak BLEEDING HEART
KIRAIt surprised me when the next day I received an unexpected phone call. The truth was, I was a bit annoyed with him and didn’t want to answer his messages. But this time I did.“Hey Kira, it’s been a while since we last talked. How have you been?” said Mark with joy in his voice.“Hi Mark, I’m doing okay. Just been keeping busy with work and stuff. How about you?” “Same here. But hey, I was thinking, since it’s been so long since we hung out, maybe we could grab a drink or something today? Just for old times’ sake?” he asked, and I suddenly was at a loss for words. Remembering he was a part of my losing Maddie stopped me from answering right away. Eventually I did.“I don’t know Mark. We haven’t talked in a while, and there were some misunderstandings between us before. You know, the trial and stuff” “I know, and that’s exactly why I want to meet up. It’s time to bury the hatchet and move on from the past. I miss our friendship, Kira. We’ve known each other since we were teenag
Miracle on Hollow Peak IT HAD TO BE MINE!
GABRIEL Kira didn’t realize I saw her across the street watching us. Maybe that’s why I left with Maddie. I could feel her heart breaking from a distance. I thought I understood the world. I thought I knew right from wrong, truth from lies. But then came the trial. The evidence, the testimonies, the verdict. It shattered my beliefs, my confidence. Everything that had happened since then confused me. Every day I regretted more and more that I had left Kira so far behind. We were so close once, sharing our dreams, our fears, our love. But then I got caught up in the trial, the media frenzy, the public opinion and snatching her daughter away from her. But now, as I look back, I realize how wrong I was. Kira was my anchor, my rock. She was the one who knew me inside out, who believed in me even when no one else did. And I let her go. It was time to do something about it. To reach out to her, to explain, to apologize. I didn’t know if she would forgive me, if we could ever go back to ho
Miracle on Hollow Peak I SHALL FIGHT AGAIN!

It has always been a fulfilling job for me, knowing that I was making a difference in someone’s life. But lately, something has been weighing heavily on my mind. The more women I helped regain custody of their children, the more I realized how much I missed my own daughter, Maddie. She was six years old, but she had been living with her father, Gabriel, ever since he won full custody in court. A year in which I cried every day. They prohibited me from seeing her up close for an entire year. I missed spending time with Maddie so much. I had been living in denial, hoping that one day I would get her back. But as the days went by, I could feel time slipping away. The reality was sinking in that I might never have her back in my arms. Every time I saw a mother reunited with her child, my heart ached a little more. I couldn’t help but think about all the missed milestones and mome
