My Best Friend's Brother: Part Two

Life was just starting to find its rhythm after the chaos of the first part, but tragedy strikes again. My mother is dead, brutally murdered in our home. As I grapple with grief and a burning desire for answers, my path intersects once again with Brianna, my best friend and the girl who calms the storm within me. But when a shocking truth about my past resurfaces, forcing me back into the orbit of a woman who shattered my world, the fragile peace threatens to crumble. Caught between loyalty, a desperate need for help, and explosive secrets, can I protect those I care about and uncover the truth before everything falls apart?
The world blurred around you as you sped down the highway, Alexis sobbing uncontrollably beside you. The police lights flashing in your driveway felt like a cruel, surreal welcome home.
They wouldn't let you in at first, until you muttered the words that felt impossible: "It's my mother." Inside, the scene was a nightmare – a white blanket covering a body, ruby red heels poking out, a chilling reminder of a gift you'd given. The detective's words were cold and clinical: three stab wounds in the back, signs of a struggle, blood that wasn't hers.
Your father was in jail, ruled out. The killer was still out there. The world you knew was gone, replaced by a terrifying uncertainty. Where would you and Alexis go? Who could have done this?
