The wind whipping her hair into disarray and her clothes billowing around her.
She stood quietly, teetering on the brink, a few steps away from a fatal fall.
Seemingly oblivious to the danger, her gaze was fixed on the rooftop entrance, waiting for Brian.
A few feet away from her, a woman was recording the entire scene with her mobile phone.
She was a well-known vlogger who had initially come to the rooftop to capture some scenic shots.
When she stumbled upon Noemi in her precarious state, she recognized the potential for a big news story and began live streaming without a second thought.
âMaâam, please take a step back from the edge,â the vlogger called out.
âYou can talk to me about whatâs troubling you.
Perhaps I can help.
Noemi stood on the edge, her gaze distant and unfocused.
After a moment, her voice barely above a whisper, she responded, âIâm waiting for my son.
â
âMaâam, are you considering this drastic step because of issues with your son? Is he not dutiful towards you?â The vlogger, sensing the gravity of the situation yet intrigued by the drama, ventured a guess.
Noemiâs reaction was immediate and visceral.
âNo, he was very dutiful before he got married.
But after his marriage, he stopped listening to me! Itâs all because of his wife, Rosalynn.
She is manipulative.
She is shameless!â Her voice rose in agitation as she spoke.
From Noemiâs words, the vlogger pieced together that the drama was likely a classic conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Such issues had always captured public interest.
With that in mind, the vlogger edged closer to Noemi, ensuring she could capture the moment clearly on her live stream.
âSo, maâam, did your daughter-in-law turn your son against you?â the vlogger prodded, her camera now trained on Noemi.
A flash of madness appeared in Noemiâs eyes.
âShe is a deceitful woman, a seductress, and she cheated on my son! My son is obsessed with her.
He doesnât care that sheâs pregnant with another manâs child.
I want them to divorce.
I want to save my son!â
The growing number of viewers on the live stream fueled the vloggerâs excitement.
âMaâam, are you saying your daughter-in-law cheated on your son? And youâre considering drastic measures to force a divorce?â
Noemiâs frustration and desperation were palpable.
âMy foolish son has been brainwashed by his wifeâs family! Heâs become a groveling fool! I gave birth to him.
Why canât he see that only I, as his mother, truly care for him?â
The vlogger continued to broadcast the emotional outpouring, her audience growing by the second.
âDo you mean that your son, urged by his wife, now only cares about her family?â the vlogger asked, pushing for more details.
âYes, that shameless woman has my son fawning over her family,â Noemi lamented, her voice filled with frustration.
âI feel aggrieved for my son, but he doesnât see my good intention.
Why is he so blind?â
It seemed Noemi had found a willing listener in the vlogger, and she continued to vent her grievances.
Just then, Brianâs tall figure emerged into view, catching Noemiâs eye.
