Faux Vows, True Desires

Ethan frowned, "Ever since my mom lost her marbles, she gets terrified every time she sees my dad. Why on earth does he keep visiting her?" His bodyguard remained silent, not knowing what to say.

"Don't go near her. That vase is a precious antique of mine!" Grace shouted, preventing anyone from approaching. She was worried that they might provoke her mentally disturbed daughter-in-law into smashing her beloved antique vase.
