All I Want Is Happy Ending
The Same Blood
The courtroom doors groaned shut behind her, sealing in the tension, the stares, the chaos.
Outside, it was colder than she remembered.
Or maybe it was just her — drained, numb, but still standing.
Elara exhaled, watching her breath fade into the air.
She looked down at her hands.
Still trembling.
Still weak.
Yet her spine —
Elara Whitmore
( I did it )
Elara Whitmore
… I spoke because no one else would have. right?
Elara Whitmore
( glare’s at him )
Judge pretends as he didn’t hear
Footsteps behind them.
Polished. Measured. Familiar.
( FL’s Father )
There you are.
( FL’s Father )
Officer let me have my finnal words with my lovely daughter ( softly, almost rehearsed )
The police officers glanced each other for approval
Elara Whitmore
( turns around facing him. )
police: don’t think of doing anything else, just 1 minute
( FL’s Father )
Thank you ( smiling broadly )
( FL’s Father )
( squats down ) I raised you. I gave you this life. And you repay me like this? ( whispers )
Elara Whitmore
(dry, flat) You gave me survival. Not a life.
( FL’s Father )
(quieter, venom beneath the words)
( FL’s Father )
She used to cry all the time, you know. Your mother.
( FL’s Father )
I silenced her. That was the best decision I’ve ever made. She needed quiet. I gave her peace. I was merciful.
Elara’s jaw tensed.
Lawyer instinctively moved closer, sensing the change in her posture.
Elara took one step forward.
Then another.
The police were alert seeing her move
And then — she hugged him.
A cold embrace. No warmth.
No love. Just calculation.
Elara Whitmore
(whispering into his ear)
Elara Whitmore
You think you made a decision?
Elara Whitmore
If the police hadn’t stepped in when they did… I would’ve made one too.
Elara Whitmore
And yours wouldn’t have ended with peace.
Elara Whitmore
consider yourself lucky ❄️
Then, slowly… smiled.
A genuine, twisted grin.
( FL’s Father )
There she is. 😃
( FL’s Father )
That’s my blood.
( FL’s Father )
You’re going to be something terrifying.
( FL’s Father )
Something beautiful.
Elara grits her teeth in anger
( FL’s Father )
I can’t wait to see what you become. 😏
The lawyer, standing just beside them, couldn’t hear the words—
But saw the father’s wicked grin.
The sudden shift in Elara’s expression.
“Get him away from her. Right now. He’s not allowed near the child. And keep him from speaking to her again”
The officers grabbed the father just as his laughter echoed faintly down the marble steps.
His eyes remained on Elara the entire time.
Elara Whitmore
so, you did one useful thing in the end.
Lawyer (uncertain): …What was that?
Elara Whitmore
Told them to take him away. Should’ve done that years ago.
