The Unseen Eyes

last update Last Updated: 2024-12-05 17:45:38

Elona hadn’t realized how much time had passed until she looked up at the clock on the wall. The hands seemed to mock her, showing the late hour. Yet, she couldn’t bring herself to leave.

She had told herself countless times that she was here only to fulfill her duty as Alaric’s doctor. But as the days stretched into weeks, and then into months, the line between duty and lingering affection blurred. It wasn’t just the triplets that kept her here. It was him.

Her fingers rested lightly on the side of his bed as she whispered her nightly words to him, words she no longer tried to restrain. Words that poured from her heart, words she had locked away for years.

“I still love you, Alaric,” she whispered softly, her voice trembling with the truth she had buried for so long. “Even when you don’t deserve it, I still love you.”

Her hands lingered at the edge of his blankets, her gaze falling on his handsome face. It was the face of the man who had once broken her heart, the man who had cast h

  • Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret   Unexpected Visitor

    Harley’s heart raced as her heels clicked sharply against the polished marble floors of the Royale estate. She had finally arrived. Her eyes, wide with excitement and anticipation, darted to the door at the end of the hall. Her plan was simple: get to Alaric’s side, take advantage of his vulnerable state, and, if necessary, make sure she cemented her place in his life once and for all.She had been calculating, strategic. She knew the rules. Even in a vegetative state, Alaric could still father a child. And if she could carry his heir, there would be no denying her rightful place in the Royale family. She could step into the position she’d been trying to carve out for herself, and no one would question her anymore.But as she stepped closer to the room where Alaric lay in a coma, her gaze flickered to the doorway of a nearby room, where laughter and giggles echoed through the corridor. She paused, her curiosity piqued. It wasn’t just the sound of children, it was the sound of children

    Harley’s heels clicked louder as she stormed down the grand hallway of the Royale villa, her fingers trembling with a mixture of fury and desperation. The bitterness in her chest festered like an open wound, consuming her from the inside out. Elona had won. That thought gnawed at her. Four years ago, she had been the one on top, Alaric’s fiancee, the one he trusted. And now? Now, it was Elona who stood at the center of his world.The image of Elona, poised and confident, holding her children close while tending to a helpless Alaric, played over and over in Harley’s mind like a mocking replay. How had she done it? How had Elona turned everything around so seamlessly? She was considered a divine doctor at twenty-five. She had healed the sick, cured the impossible, and here Harley was, still trapped in the same old schemes, the same old failures. She didn’t deserve it.Harley’s hands balled into fists at her sides as she exited the villa and stepped into the cold night air. The childre

  • Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret   Calm Before The Storm

    Elona sat by Alaric’s side, the rhythmic beeping of the machines the only sound in the sterile, cold room. Her fingers brushed against his hand, feeling the faint warmth that remained despite his unmoving state. It was strange, how someone could lie so still and yet seem so present, like a part of her soul was tethered to him.She leaned forward, her voice barely above a whisper. “I know you can hear me, Alaric,” she said softly. “I know you think that I’ve hurt you. I know you believe that I’ve made mistakes... but so have you.” Her chest tightened as she forced back the tears threatening to spill over. “I wanted to give up on you. I tried to move on. I thought maybe... just maybe, I could have a life without you in it. But every day... every moment, you’re still here.” Her voice faltered slightly, but she quickly composed herself.“I wanted to hate you. And for a time, I did,” she continued, her fingers tracing the lines of his hand, “But the truth is, I love you, Alaric. I’ve alwa

    The days were long and filled with quiet intensity. The triplets’ laughter echoed through the villa, their innocent joy a stark contrast to the tense atmosphere that clung to the air. Elona had taken Master Fu’s suggestion to heart. She had started bringing the children to Alaric’s room, allowing them to play around him, occasionally touching his hand or speaking to him as though he were awake. She didn’t know if it was working, but something about the way Alaric’s vitals steadied when they were near gave her a small measure of hope.She had placed the children in their play area just outside the door, and as she wiped a cloth across Alaric’s forehead—gentle and tender, as though he could feel it. She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was changing. Her heart fluttered every time she looked at him, a mixture of love, regret, and longing. “You’re stubborn,” she murmured softly to his still form. “So, so stubborn.”Her voice wavered, but she steadied herself. The cold, indiffere

    The next few days passed in a quiet rhythm. Elona found herself growing used to the subtle changes in Alaric’s condition. His vitals, though still fragile, were more stable. The room, once cold and sterile, now had a sense of life. The scent of herbs, remedies Elona had prepared herself, mingled with the soft sound of the triplets’ laughter drifting from outside.It was a delicate balance: her hopes rising with each small improvement, yet the weight of her past with Alaric, the hurt, the betrayal, never quite lifting. She would sit beside his bed, her hand on his, and talk to him for hours. She would speak of the triplets, of the life she had built without him, and of the quiet sacrifices she had made. There were moments when she would pause, her voice faltering, unsure if he could hear her. But each time, she returned, convinced that, somehow, he could feel the sincerity in her words.The triplets, as Master Fu had suggested, were the key. They were so young, so full of innocence, a

    The days continued to blend into one another, each one bringing a flicker of hope, then the familiar pull of despair. Elona found herself locked in a delicate dance with her emotions. There were moments of strength, when the progress she saw in Alaric gave her courage to push forward, to believe in his recovery. And then there were the quieter moments, when the weight of the past seemed to close in on her, and the bitter sting of his betrayal resurfaced like an old wound that refused to heal.But despite it all, she continued to care for him. The triplets were her light, their laughter a balm to her weary soul. She knew that as long as she had them, she would survive. But Alaric, he was a different story.She could feel the bond between them growing stronger, in ways that terrified her. What am I doing? she thought, watching Alaric’s still face as she brushed his hair back, her fingers lingering just a moment longer than necessary. I should be angry with him. I should hate him.

    Harley’s frustration simmered beneath her polished exterior as she stared at the messages on her phone, each one an update on Alaric’s condition. Senior Royale’s words echoed in her mind, forbidding her from visiting the villa. “The Chinese doctor does not need family interference with his treatment.” Harley could hardly contain her bitterness. Every day she was kept at arm’s length, watching from the shadows as Elona, the very woman she had once orchestrated to be cast aside, now stood at the center of Alaric’s recovery.But Harley was not a woman to accept defeat easily. The situation was getting out of hand, and her jealousy grew like a poison, infecting her every thought. Elona had the audacity to call herself Alaric’s savior, and the triplets, those children who were so unmistakably his, only made matters worse. They were his legacy, his flesh and blood. Harley couldn’t bear the thought of them growing up with the man who was meant to be hers.She had thought of many ways to reg

    The villa was quiet in the dead of night, the usual hum of activity now replaced by an eerie stillness. Harley paced back and forth in her private study, the dim glow from the desk lamp casting long shadows across the room. Her hands were steady, her mind sharp, even as her heart pounded with anticipation. The information had arrived, confirming what she already suspected: Alaric was starting to show signs of waking up. It was time to act.Harley knew better than to trust anyone fully, especially when it came to the old Chinese doctor. Master Fu had been a thorn in her side for far too long, and while she wasn’t one to underestimate anyone, she couldn’t risk him standing in her way. The dark web had its uses, and Harley had called upon her connections. A few well-placed words and she had orchestrated a distraction that would buy her the time she needed.Master Fu had left the villa, having received urgent news about his closest friend being poisoned in his home country.

    Meanwhile, in Velmorah, Aria decided not to worry about Alaric's threats or the threats that loomed in the dark. She did not even want to deal with the imposter who stole her identity.

Now that they had reconnected, she felt whole again.Aria sat in the warmth of her private study, her delicate fingers curled around a porcelain teacup as she watched the triplets animatedly recount stories from their past.

    The prison wardens office swirled with a suffocating tension. The revelation hand a certain ominous feeling that was pressing down on everyone in the room. The forensic team stood frozen, the results on their screen a glaring contradiction to what had been believed for over a year.“This… this isn’t possible,” the warden stammered, his face turning ashen. His fingers trembled as he clutched the paper detailing the fingerprint results. Feeling the colad and fore doing aura emanating from the Royale grandfather and grandson, his knees nearly buckled. Alaric sat across from him, and his cold, calculating gaze drilling into the man like a sharpened blade. His posture was deceptively relaxed, but his aura was suffocating. Even the most hardened officers in the room dared not meet his eyes. “Explain,” Alaric said, his voice dangerously quiet.The forensic specialist cleared his throat, stepping forward. “Sir, according to our records, this woman”, he pointed to the prison cell's current oc

    Aria paced the length of the study, her fingers curled into tight fists. The weight of the letter still lingered in her mind, but it wasn't fear that consumed her now, it was frustration."Who does he think he is?" she muttered, her voice sharp with anger. "He had an imposter by his side for a year, and now he thinks he can summon me like I owe him an explanation?"Kian leaned against the desk, his arms crossed. "Alaric is a desperate man, Aria. The fact that he’s finally figured out that the woman beside him isn’t you means he’s digging deeper. We need to be ahead of him." Aria exhaled sharply. "I don’t care about what he figures out. I care about keeping my children out of this mess."Master Fu, who had been silent until now, set down a document on the table. "We might not have the luxury of staying out of it anymore. Our sources have confirmed something troubling, Maribel is not working alone. There's someone orchestrating this deception from the shadows."Aria stilled. "What do yo

    The days that followed were quiet but suffocating. The peacefulness of the Vortigen Grand Villa, which had once been a refuge, now felt more like a gilded cage. Aria's thoughts often wandered back to the time before her memories had been taken. Before she had learned the truth about her life, about Alaric, and about the world she had once belonged to. But those days seemed like a distant dream now.She focused on the present, on her children, and on the promise she had made to Kian. They would not let the past destroy what they had built. However, the threat of Alaric’s return still loomed over them like a dark cloud. The truth was out there, and it was only a matter of time before it reached him.Kian, ever the protector, was especially vigilant. He spent long hours studying the files and information Master Fu had gathered about Alaric’s movements, searching for any sign of weakness, anything that would give them an edge. He wasn’t about to let Aria slip through his fingers again. F

    The ominous, foreboding feeling that lingered over Vortigen Grand Villa had settled into a tense silence. Master Fu paced slowly in the study, deep in thought, while Kian and Aria sat with the triplets, who were now playfully rolling around on the rug. Their laughter seemed like a distant melody, a stark contrast to the storm brewing on the horizon.Aria absentmindedly played with Allie’s hair, the feel of her daughter’s soft curls grounding her, anchoring her to the present, to the family she had found in Kian and these beautiful children. She had made her decision. The past, with all its pain and lies, was behind her.But even as she tried to savor this peace, her thoughts kept drifting to the woman who had taken her place in Alaric’s life. The imposter.A gnawing unease began to grow inside her, the certainty of what had been done to her, what had been done to the triplets. It was a heavy feeling, one she couldn’t shake.

    The Vortigen Grand Villa was silent, tension swirling around the whole place. Master Fu sat at the grand study’s desk, his fingers drumming lightly against the polished mahogany surface. The triplets sat on the plush couch with Kian and Aria, their small faces serious as they waited.In his hands, Master Fu held the DNA analysis results, sent directly from Alaric himself, who had unknowingly delivered the truth into their hands.The envelope was already opened, the paper slightly crumpled from his grip. He had read the contents twice, yet the the truth was a bittersweet revelation. Although he expected it, Aria had no recollection of her past. But it was also good for the triplets to know that they were right.Aria took a slow breath, her fingers entwined with Kian’s. Although she had braced herself, though she had always felt an inexplicable connection to the triplets, a part of her still feared, feared that this was all a cruel trick of fate.Master Fu exhaled sharply before looking

    Forty-Eight Hours Later......Alaric Royale sat behind his massive oak desk, his fingers rhythmically tapping against the polished surface. The clock on the wall ticked steadily, but his mind was anything but calm.Forty-eight hours had passed. A whole two days since he had Maribel’s blood drawn under the guise of a routine check-up. Any minute now, he knew he'd be drawing closer to the truth.A soft ding echoed in the quiet office and his phone screen lit up with a message from Dr. Hastings: "The results are ready. You’ll need to see this in person."Alaric’s grip on his phone tightened. He rose from his chair, grabbing his coat with a sharp motion before striding out. Jimmy, who had been standing nearby, immediately fell in step beside him. “Sir?” Jimmy inquired, softly.“We’re going to Hastings’ clinic.” Alaric's response was clipped. Jimmy felt the suppressed rage and shuddered inwardly. Jimmy needed no further explanation. His sharp gaze darkened as he nodded. “Understood.”Dr. H

    Maribel had always prided herself on her ability to read people. It was how she had survived this long, how she had secured the life of luxury that should have never been hers. But lately, something had shifted.Alaric had been watching her differently. Not with the same warmth or admiration. Not even with suspicion. No, this was something far more unsettling. He was studying her. Calculating.It made the hairs on the back of her neck prickle, but she couldn’t let it show. She had worked too hard to let paranoia ruin everything.Still, as she stepped into the dining hall that morning, she forced her best smile onto her face, eyes scanning Alaric carefully as he sipped his coffee.He looked relaxed, his posture at ease, too at ease. For a moment, she hesitated. Then, as if sensing her hesitation, he glanced up at her with a small smile. "Good morning, my love."Maribel’s stomach twisted, but she returned the smile effortlessly.

    The letter had been sent. Alaric paced the grand study of the Royale estate, his jaw clenched, his fingers twitching with restless energy. His heart pounded in his chest, an unfamiliar sensation clawing at his insides.Anxiety. For the first time in his life, he was afraid. What if she didn’t come back? No. That wasn’t an option. Elona, or Aria as she was now known was his wife, the mother of his children. He had wronged her, yes, but fate had given him a second chance. She would come back. She had to.A knock echoed through the room, snapping him out of his thoughts. "Come in," he ordered. The door opened, and his assistant stepped inside, his face carefully blank."Mr Royale, " the assistant said hesitantly. "The response has arrived." Alaric stilled. His throat tightened. His heart drummed against his ribs as he held out his hand.The assistant hesitated before passing him the letter. "You should prepare yourself, Chairman Royale." Alaric didn’t like the sound of that.
