Dae's POV

The silence between us was so heavy, it felt suffocating. I watched Amelia’s face, every flicker of disbelief and shock crossing her features. Her hand remained covering her mouth, her eyes never leaving mine, almost as if searching for the man she thought she knew.

“Amelia,” I said, keeping my voice steady and calm, with my eyes searching her's “you don’t have to understand right now. But know this—I’d do anything to protect you and Emily. Anything it takes for me to do.”

She lowered her hand, a tremor in her voice.

“Dae, I didn’t ask for all of this you are giving to me. I didn’t want… you didn’t have to go that far.” Her voice softened, breaking in a way I’d never heard before. “You’re making choices I never wanted you to make for me and in a way, it affect me badly.”

Her words stung more than I’d expected. She wasn’t yelling or angry—just disappointed, and somehow, that felt worse for me to handle.

I moved closer, gripping the edge of the car seat to ground myself.

    Amelia's POVI woke up to the jarring sound of my phone vibrating against the midnight. Blinking, I squinted at the screen, it was exactly 3:02 a.m on a dot. The name flashing on the screen made my heart skip a beat. It was Dae, calling me.I answered, my voice barely above a whisper. "Dae?" I said, placing the phone in my ears.There was silence on the other end of the phone, then a deep breath. "Amelia. I need you to get Emily and leave the house. Right now."" Is that a command or request?" " Just leave."The urgency in his tone instantly wiped away the last remnants of sleep that hung on. I sat up, already swinging my legs out of bed. "What? Why? What’s going on?""I can’t explain everything right now, but you’re not safe there. Grab what you need and go. I’ll meet you at the cabin up north. I’ve left the keys under the porch light, and I think you'd be better there than your home."I swallowed, feeling the familiar knot of fear tightening in my stomach, due to his tone."Dae,

    Dae’s POVWe pulled up to the cabin, the headlights illuminating the old wood and weather-worn porch. Emily was asleep in the back, but I could feel Amelia’s eyes waving on me. I killed the engine, sitting in the heavy silence as the weight of everything settled in."Is this it?" she whispered, her voice barely audible, making it look like a whisper."For now, I think so." I looked over at her, catching the glint of worry that hang in her eyes. She was scared but hiding it, putting on a brave face for Emily, trying not to act like the weak mother. "We’ll be safe here, for the time Being. No one knows about this place, apart from me."Amelia nodded, glancing at the cabin before looking back at me. There was a beat of silence as we just sat there, the air between us thick with unsaid words, which started building up tensions. Her hand drifted toward mine, fingers brushing lightly, but she quickly pulled back, as if realizing what she was doing.I got out, moved around to help her out

    Amelia’s POVI woke up with a new start, the creaks and groans of the cabin settling around me, but it was the cold weight of dread that was impossible to shake off. Dae was lying beside me, his arm draped protectively over me, and for a moment, his warmth gave me a sliver of comfort and new found hope. But last night’s threats echoed in my mind, the stranger’s voice laced with a promise of violence.I quietly slipped out of bed, careful not to wake Dae from his sweet sleep, and padded down the hallway. Emily was still deep asleep, her little face calm and peaceful, oblivious to the nightmare our lives had become. I brushed a hand over her hair, my heart clenching, with a little smile on my face.I didn’t know how long we could keep running for our dear lives in this situation. It totally seems like every move we make just doesn't work out for me .The soft rustle of movement in the kitchen broke my thoughts at once. I tensed, glancing over my shoulder, but relaxed when I saw Dae stan

    Amelia’s POVThe room felt like it was vibrating with tension as I waited in the sterile office. My heart was racing, and I squeezed my hands together, hoping they would stop trembling. The plan was as simple, at least in theory—convince Bryan to let me go for good, to finally end this twisted tug-of-war. But actually sitting here, knowing I was minutes away from seeing him face-to-face, had my stomach in knots tie up.“Are you sure about this?” Dae’s voice broke through my thoughts, and I looked over at him, his face lined with worry.“I have to be,” I replied quietly. “Bryan won’t stop until he hears it from me… in person.” Dae’s jaw tightened, his hand reaching for mine. “He’s dangerous, Amelia. This isn’t just about words anymore, Amelia. You know his more stronger than anything you can think of.”“I know,” I said, meeting his gaze. “But if he hears it straight from me, maybe… maybe he’ll finally let me and Emily go.”Dae exhaled sharply, pulling me into a quick, tight hug, tha

    Dae POVThe warning from Bryan lingered in the back of my mind, its dark undertone haunting my mind. I’d stayed awake half the night, running scenarios in my head, wondering who or what else might be lurking in the dark shadows. Now, standing across from Amelia in the kitchen, I could tell by the tension in her shoulders that she hadn’t slept well either.Emily was still fast asleep upstairs, but Amelia and I had both been up for hours, trying to make sense of everything that have been going on. I watched as Amelia leaned against the counter, her fingers tapping a restless rhythm.“Dae,” she finally said, breaking the silence that was already built in within we both, “what do you think he meant by that words? Who else could be after us?”I leaned against the fridge, arms folded, forcing myself to stay calm for her sake. “I actually don’t know, Amelia. Bryan’s always been unpredictable, but… I can’t shake the feeling he might be bluffing thing's."She scoffed, crossing her arms. “ yo

    Amelia POVThe words from that phone call haunted me as I sat across from Dae at the dining table, my mind swirling with uncertainty and deep concern. My appetite had disappeared the moment I picked up the call from Bryan, his last words echoing in my ears, sending discomfort through my veins."Amelia," Dae’s voice broke through my thoughts. "You’re somewhere else."I looked up, his gaze filled with concern. “I’m sorry about that, Dae. It’s… everything feels like it’s crashing down all at once and it so painful.”He nodded slowly, his fingers brushing against the back of my hand in a silent gesture of comfort. "I know it’s been so overwhelming. But you’re not alone in this, trust me."“Bryan...he’s finally letting me go, slowly getting” I said quietly, almost as if saying it out loud would change his mind. “It’s just… everything we went through. I don’t know what’s next for me and my daughter, and also for you”Dae shifted in his chair, his gaze never leaving mine. “Maybe you’re mea

    Note, we would be using a double POV in this Chapter, so don't get confused half way.Dae’s POVI slipped into the hallway, my phone pressed to my ear. “What is it?”My security lead, Mark, sounded tense on the other end of the phone.“Dae, I’m not sure how to tell you this, but... we’ve been monitoring Bryan closely, as you requested of us to do do. It seems he’s about to leave the country, and today.”I blinked, the news momentarily disorienting me at once.“Leaving? Where?”“Unknown, but we caught wind of him booking a private jet. It looks like he’s finally letting go of whatever hold he thought he had on you and Amelia.”The relief I should’ve felt didn’t quite come to me at this point. Bryan was unpredictable, and after everything he’d done, it felt totally wrong to trust that he would just walk away and give up. “What about Mr. Smith’s connections?”“Nothing new there,” Mark replied to my question. “For now, everything’s quiet. But we’ll keep an eye out.”“Do that,” I said, gl

    Dae's POVThe morning sun streamed through the window, casting a warm light across the room as I found Amelia leaning against the kitchen counter, lost in deep thought. There was a subtle calm in her expression that somehow set my mind at ease. I felt my resolve strengthen.“Good morning,” I said, giving her a small smile as I approached her, where she stood with thoughts.She looked up, a little surprised, but smiled back at me. “Morning, Dae."" What's up?" I similed." Nothing much.. i was just...thinking about everything that’s happened. I didn’t expect to feel this settled here.”I nodded, sensing the weight in her words.“I get it. Things have been…a lot. But maybe this is a fresh start for both of us?”She glanced down, her fingers fidgeting with the edge of her shirt. “Maybe it is actually. I haven’t had someone I could rely on in a long time. Trust has always been...difficult for me."Her words lingered, and I felt something shift between us both, like a silent understanding
