Lisa POV:
"So like I said, this is my brother Ace," Evelyn said looking at her brother.
"How long has he been in a coma?" I asked softly.
"2 weeks now." She said looking at him and then at me.
"Have any doctors given anything to him?" I asked again.
His body looked completely fine, so why the long coma?
"Yes, I don't know their names," Evelyn said with a chuckle, then passed the bottles to me.
"Uhm what kind of accident did he have?" I found myself asking, looking down at my patient.
"It was a car accident," Evelyn said, her voice growing quiet. "He was driving when another car ran a red light and hit his car." She paused, clearly struggling to speak about the details.
"The doctors say he may never wake up, but I just know he will. My brother is a fighter. I have to believe that." I could hear the emotion in her voice, and I felt a wave of compassion for her. I knew how hard it must be for her to see her brother like this.
I placed my hand on her shoulder, hoping to provide some comfort.
"He is lucky to have you as his sister," I said. "I know you're doing everything you can for him, and that's all anyone can ask for." She nodded, her eyes watering.
"Thank you," she whispered. I gave her a small smile. "Now, let's go over his daily routine, shall we?" She took a deep breath and nodded, a determined look back in her eyes. "Yes, let's do this."
"He requires assistance with all of his daily needs," I began.
"This includes bathing, dressing, and eating. I know it's a lot, but we're going to take it one step at a time. Are you up for this?"
I asked Evelyn, wanting to make sure she was comfortable with everything we would be doing. She took a deep breath and nodded again. "Yes, I can do this. For Ace." I smiled and nodded, feeling inspired by her dedication to her brother.
"Okay then, let's get started."
"I thought you were hungry Lisa?" Evelyn said softly.
Why was she talking so calmly?
"Yes, but that can wait a little," I said with a smile.
"Nonsense, come on, we got lots of time for this, let's go fill up your tummy," Evelyn said with a chuckle.
I nodded my head slowly before walking with her out of the room.
I made sure to come to the door a little.
We took a few turns before arriving at the kitchen.
"What would you like to eat?" Evelyn asked.
"Uhn anything is fine," I whispered not knowing what to ask for.
"The maids are going to make a lot of meals, just pick one pls," Evelyn said softly.
"Uhm I'll like noodles please," I whispered looking away from her eyes.
Her eyes were so green like she was looking into my soul.
She called a maid and told her what to make, then walked outside.
I followed her closely still not knowing what to do.
"You know, you are the second nurse arriving here," Evelyn said.
"Why did she leave so quickly?" I asked confusedly.
"Oh, she was scared of my brother, saying he was too big and he looked like someone who could kill her," Evelyn said softly with a giggle.
I shook my head at what I heard before sitting down.
"When Ace wakes up, I won't be around anymore." She said making me look up.
"Why, isn't this your house also?" I asked.
"Nop, it's his, Ace hates me and some of our family." She said softly.
"So I'll be left with him?, Would he accept that?" I found myself asking.
"Hehe, you see, his a complicated Man, and his very rude," Evelyn said mumbling the last part.
"So how will I take care of him?" I asked confusedly.
"You will work things out, love," she said with a smile.
"Ah, the food is here." She said with a smile.
I looked at her for a moment before looking at my food.
I didn't know what to do.
Why didn't Dr. Kingston inform me about this?
I have never lived with a man before and this one is freaking rude to people.
Shaking my head, I picked up my spoon and ate slowly.
His in a coma, and we won't be sure when he will wake up, so I have time to decide.
Now I see why the other maid Left.
I thought.
"Are you going to leave also?" I heard Evelyn ask.
For a moment, I thought she was reading my mind or I might have said it without knowing.
"I don't see why I should," I said with a smile.
"Oh thank you so much, this means a lot." Evenly said.
Nodding my head, I looked back at my food
When I was done, I picked up my plates but Evelyn said I shouldn't worry that the maids would clean it up.
"I'd like to go to bed, is that ok?" I asked quietly.
She looked at me for a second before nodding her head, that smile never leaving her lips.
She was way too nice, something was going off here.
As I walked back upstairs.
I made sure I was the only one there.
I made a turn back to Ace's room.
I quickly looked down at his body again.
It made no sense, she said Ace was in a car accident, but I see no bruises on his skin.
He looked perfectly fine.
But it looked like he was giving some injection for him to be in a coma for this long.
Moving around his room.
I picked up the first injection bottle before shaking my head.
They were all too heavy for someone who got in a car accident.
Quickly, I walked toward my room, to get my medicine bag, thank God I always take it around.
I looked down at the stairs when I noticed the ghost was clear.
I entered his room and locked the door quietly.
A sigh left my lips when I had done everything.
Walking toward Ace, I quickly removed the injection in his skin.
Then I poured the remaining ones into a bottle, I needed to check what this injection meant.
They didn't give him anyone other than this.
Then I quickly injected him with my injection.
Not to make anyone noticed.
I emptied the old bottle and cleaned the inside, then turned all my injections in.
So anyone giving him his medicine will think it's the old one.
A smile on my lips when I had done everything.
Looking down at Ace One last time, I couldn't help but wonder why someone was doing this to him.
But again this is Earth, you won't know who to trust.
When everything was done.
I walked out of the room, not forgetting to give him a look one last time.
A year had passed since the chaos, and now, the air in their new home was filled with a sense of peace that neither Ace nor Lisa had ever known. They were far away from the world they used to know, the one that had been filled with danger, betrayal, and uncertainty. It was a small, quiet life now, one where the past didn’t matter, only the future they were building together.Lisa cradled their baby girl in her arms, smiling down at the tiny face that had completely changed her world. Their daughter, with her soft dark hair and delicate features, was the perfect blend of both of them. A reminder of the love and strength that had carried them through everything.Walking down the hallway of their cozy little house, Lisa could hear the faint sound of the ocean waves crashing against the shore in the distance. It was serene, soothing in a way that felt like a lullaby to her soul. She made her way to the room where Ace was sitting, his back facing the door as he gazed out the large windo
Ace leaned against the doorframe of the small bedroom where Lisa lay resting. The soft glow of the bedside lamp illuminated her peaceful face, a stark contrast to the chaos that had unfolded just hours ago. He couldn’t stop thinking about Richard’s lifeless body and how close his wife had come to harm. His mind was a whirlwind of conflicting thoughts, and the only thing keeping him grounded was the sight of Lisa, safe and sound in their bed."Stay here," he whispered softly, brushing a loose strand of hair from her forehead. Lisa stirred but didn’t wake, her exhaustion finally catching up with her after everything that had happened. He pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead, then turned to leave the room, closing the door quietly behind him.Ace’s expression hardened as he walked down the hallway toward the warehouse's lower levels, where Evelyn was being held. His men had taken care of Richard’s body, as per his orders, disposing of it far away from their hideout. Now, there was one
Grey stood outside the cell where Evelyn was being held, watching her through the small window. The bruises and cuts on her face were evidence of the fight she had put up, but there was no sympathy in his eyes. She had brought this on herself, and Grey had no more business here. His part was done—he had helped Ace capture her, and now it was time for him to leave.He pushed the door open and stepped inside, the cold air of the cell greeting him as the heavy metal door closed behind him. Evelyn was slumped in the corner, her arms wrapped around her knees, her hair hanging loosely over her face. She didn't look up as Grey entered, but he could sense that she was fully aware of his presence.A smirk tugged at the corner of his lips as he sat down in the lone chair facing her. "Oh, poor Evelyn," he said mockingly, his voice filled with dark amusement. "I must say, it's been quite a ride, hasn't it?"Evelyn remained silent, her head tilted slightly, but she didn’t look at him. Grey didn’t
Lisa lay peacefully in bed, the soft warmth of the blankets cocooning her, her body relaxed as sleep slowly pulled her under. She was vaguely aware of the gentle ticking of the clock on the wall and the quiet hum of the house, sounds that had become comforting in this strange new place Ace had brought her to.But then, something shifted. A sound, almost imperceptible, but enough to make her stir.Her brow furrowed, still caught in the remnants of a dream, as she called out, "Ace?"There was no reply.She blinked her eyes open, pushing herself up on the bed. Her hand reached out, instinctively seeking Ace’s familiar warmth beside her, but her fingers touched only cool, empty sheets. Her frown deepened as she sat up fully, glancing around the dark room. Where was he?"Ace?" she called again, louder this time.Still nothing.A chill crept up her spine as she swung her legs over the side of the bed, slipping her feet into her slippers. Something didn’t feel right. Her heart began to bea
Ace sat in his office, fingers drumming against the wooden desk as he stared at the stack of papers in front of him. His mind wasn’t on the documents, though. No matter how much he tried to distract himself with work, his thoughts always drifted back to Lisa and the baby. He hadn’t been home much lately, caught up in his dealings, and a part of him knew he was avoiding her.His phone buzzed on the desk, pulling him from his thoughts. He picked it up, seeing Grey’s name flash across the screen.He answered immediately. “Grey?”“We have her,” Grey’s voice came through, cool and composed. “Evelyn’s in our custody. She’s in the cells now, and we rounded up a few of her men, but Richard wasn’t with them.”Ace’s heartbeat quickened. They had Evelyn. Finally, they had her. But the news about Richard not being there left a bitter taste in his mouth. That man was like a ghost, always slipping through their fingers.“I’m coming soon,” Ace said, his voice firm. He stood up, grabbing his coat, a
Ann sat in the dimly lit room, her hands trembling slightly as she held the burner phone.Grey and his team had just briefed her on the plan—she was to call Evelyn, pretend to be sorry, and offer her some fabricated information about Ace and Lisa. It was a risky plan, but one they hoped would finally lead them to capturing Evelyn. Her mind was racing, trying to process the weight of what she was about to do. She had betrayed Lisa once by working with Evelyn, and though she had switched sides, the guilt still gnawed at her. Now, they were asking her to go back into the lion’s den, to trick the very person who had manipulated her before. Grey stood across from her, his expression calm but serious. “Are you ready?”Ann swallowed hard, nodding. “Yeah… I’ll do it.”One of Grey’s men handed her the phone, the screen lit up with Evelyn’s number. Ann’s thumb hovered over the call button for a moment, her heart pounding in her chest. She knew this call would either lead to Evelyn’s capture o
