Caroline’s POV:What the hell was William even talking about? He had the audacity to act as if he could bring Daniel back. His foolish words alone made me want to seethe with anger.Couldn’t he see that my words were out of anger? Did he honestly think that I would believe that he would do the impos

Caroline’s POV:Unable to accept the insane ideas that were running through my head, I knew I needed to escape immediately. Looking at George’s little face for too long would only confuse me all the more, and I’d had enough on my plate already. I was already too attached to him for my own good, so
Caroline’s POV:As my mind was a whirlwind trying to frantically string together a sentence, William spoke first. “Why are you hiding here?” he asked, eyeing me carefully. He rested his uninjured arm on the door frame of the cupboard as he trained his piercing gaze on me. I was enveloped by his shad
Caroline’s POV:“Excuse me?” I scoffed, an incredulous laugh on my lips. Did he just say what I think he said? He wanted to sleep in the same room with me, even after what he’d tried to pull last time? How did he not get the hint that he was annoying me?I was just about to smack his hand away from
Caroline/ Evelyn’s POV:After some extensive testing by the doctors and regular check-ups, William was finally moved to a regular ward. I watched after him during that time, always watching to ensure that he wouldn’t suddenly die on me. During that time, we had several long talks. He was as cordial

Caroline/ Evelyn’s POV:“Lily?” I peered behind me to see William standing in the doorway, his eyes wide in disbelief. It was as though he were seeing a ghost. He knew the identity of my kidnapper, and from the look on his face, I knew we were in trouble.A bitter smile crossed Lily’s face. “Long t
Caroline/ Evelyn’s POV:As I gradually returned to the waking world, the first thing that came to my attention was my pounding headache. I tried to groan, but something was covering my mouth. There was an attempt to remove it, but my hands were locked firmly behind me.Opening my eyes, I realized I
William’s POV:Watching Evelyn’s car drive away from my window wasn’t easy. My throat tightened and I spent some time on my bed, wallowing in regret. I couldn’t tell if the ache in my chest was from my condition or the knowledge that I was deceiving Evelyn.I shouldn’t have argued with her. I should
Caroline/ Evelyn’s POV:The doctor took one look at the pill and swiftly provided an answer. “Miss, this is a medication used to treat cardiovascular diseases. More specifically, it’s commonly used for myocarditis.”My heart sank like it was weighted by stones. “Myocarditis? Are you sure?” I asked,
