The sky was a deep shade of blue-black, the sun long gone. The street lights flickered on, casting an orange hue on the pavement below as Alexander drove his car down the quiet road.

His eyes were fixed on the path ahead as he gripped the steering wheel a little tighter.

With a quick check to ensure his phone was still connected to the car's Bluetooth, he reached for it and opened his call log, clicked on Camilla's name before pressing the Call button.

After several rings, her voicemail message started to play. "You've reached Camilla," her gentle voice said. "I'm unavailable at the moment, but please leave a message, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can."

Alexander hesitated, unsure of what to say. This was the fifth time he had tried to confirm with her about when she wanted him to pick her up for her grandmother's birthday celebration, but she hadn't answered any of his calls.

With a sigh, he decided to head straight to her office and took a U-turn.

As he drove, he couldn't he

"Camilla!" she exclaimed.Camilla hugged her back warmly. "Happy birthday, Nonna. You look beautiful.""Thank you, my dear," Her grandmother replied before glancing at Camilla's side, as if searching for someone."Where is he?" The old woman questioned in an accusatory tone, turning to Camilla."Who?" Camilla asked, confused, as she looked around the room.She gave her an exasperated look. "The boy," She replied impatiently. "The one your mother said was coming with you."Camilla's eyes widened with realization. "Oh, you mean Alexander.""Yes. Where is he?" She repeated her question, her impatience growing."Did you two have a disagreement and he decided to come separately?" her grandmother asked, furrowing her wrinkled brows and pursing her lips.Camilla shook her head slightly and forced a fake smile. "No, nothing like that happened," she

    Alexander staggered into his hotel suite, the dim lighting making it difficult for him to focus.He was inebriated, his senses dulled by alcohol, and the sound of his footsteps echoed throughout the room.As he approached the bed, a figure lying there caught his eye, bathed in the soft glow of moonlight filtering through the curtained window.Initially unable to discern who it was, his eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness and he realized it was a woman.Despite the poor visibility, the curves of her silhouette drew him closer, igniting a spark of desire and intrigue within him.Suddenly, the woman stirred and reached out to grasp his tie, pulling him towards her.Their bodies collided, and the warmth and scent of her enveloped him.As her eyes fluttered open, she met Alexander's gaze in the dim light.

    The automatic doors of the hospital slid open with a faint hiss as Alexander burst through them, cradling an unconscious Camilla in his arms.Her head lolled to one side, her skin ashen and clammy.A team of doctors and nurses rushed towards him, wheeling a stretcher bed alongside them.One of the doctors, a tall, balding man with a serious expression, barked out orders as they approached."Set her down gently, please," he said, gesturing towards the stretcher. "We need to get her stabilized as soon as possible."Alexander nodded, his eyes wide with fear as he carefully lowered Camilla onto the bed.The doctors and nurses swarmed around her, attaching monitors and IVs as they worked to assess her condition."What happened to her?" the doctor asked, turning to face Alexander. "I couldn't hear your exact words over the phone when you called.""I don't know," Alexander's voice trembled with emotion. "All she had was a glass of water at my place.

    "Doctor Hamilton, you're not giving us any information about her. Is everything alright?" Alexander's voice was tense, his expression etched with worry as he leaned forward.Alessia, unable to bear the silence any longer, spoke up, "I'm Alessia Kings, the patient's mother. Please, tell us, is she okay?" Her desperation turned her inquiry into a demand.The elderly doctor finally offered a small smile and let out a sigh of relief, "Your daughter is going to be just fine, ma'am. There's no need to worry."He paused and turned to Alexander, "We were able to stabilize her, but it was a close call. "She experienced a severe reaction to a food allergen, which triggered anaphylaxis.""It's a good thing you brought her in when you did, or things could have been much worse." He added with a little smile.Alessia furrowed her brow in confusion. "I don't understand," she said."Are you sure there wasn't a mistake? My daughter doesn't have any food allergies," she questioned Dr. Hamilton.Dr. Ham

He asked cautiously."She gave a slight nod before pausing, her lips pursed.After a while, she said, "You're still in your PJs," as though noticing it for the first time.That prompted Alexander to also look at his outfit, and he let out a nervous chuckle. "You just went down...it was scary, and I didn't have time to change."With her usual air of indifference, she added, "Thank you for bringing me here," in a dry tone."There's no need for that. I'll do the same for anyone I find in such a condition," said Alexander with an encouraging smile.He sat down on the edge of her hospital bed and looked down at his hands.After a long pause, he finally sighed. "Did Doctor Hamilton tell you..." He trailed off, still unable to believe the news.It was just one night, how could she have gotten pregnant? he internally questioned himself."Yes, he told me," she responded with no

    Alexander slumped in his car, his head heavy against the steering wheel. His furrowed brow betrayed the deep thought consuming him, and he shut his eyes, trying to drown out the world's noise.His shallow breaths came in quick succession, his white-knuckled grip on the wheel showing the weight of his troubles.He felt suffocated under the palpable weight of his thoughts, gasping for air when he finally lifted his head after what felt like an eternity.With trembling fingers, he fumbled for his phone, dialing his sister's number. When she answered, her excitement was a beacon of familiarity."How's my favorite brother doing?" she asked, ready to catch up."I... I don't know," Alexander replied, his voice cracking.

    A resounding clap echoed through the room as Charles applauded Alexander, his tone dripping with sarcasm."Wow!...

His mind raced as he realized it was Camilla's phone.Slowly, Alexander reached out and picked up the device, a face-down iPhone. He turned it over to reveal the blank screen.With a soft double-tap, the phone came to life, prompting him for a passcode.Without hesitation, he input the code, granting access to the phone's contents.

    Charles paused for a moment, taking a deep breath, his hand hovering over the doorknob.He hesitated, unsure of what awaited him on the other side.Just as his fingertips grazed the cold metal, the door swung open, revealing a breathtaking woman in her mid-thirties.Her long black hair cascaded down, framing her face with a sense of elegance.Her hazel eyes, piercing yet familiar, held a sense of curiosity.She was dressed in an elegant black gown that accentuated her curves, an hourglass figure that caught Charles' attention.A white stethoscope hung from her neck, hinting at her profession."Mr. Wilton," she began, a small smile dancing on her lips. "You are here?" Charles furrowed his brow."Yes, I just arrived. Doctor... How is my grandmother?" he inquired, his gaze shifting from the woman to the room beyond her.She glanced briefly over her shoulder, then turned back to face him."She's stable at the moment," the doctor said, her voice composed and professional."However, we need

    "Pull the trigger." the male whispered behind Charles as he held the loaded GLOCK 19 pistol pointed at Mary who was huddled in a corner, drenched in sweat and covered in bruises as a result of all kinds of torture, sobbing quietly.His hands holding the pistol trembled, "Please," he begged for the second time. "I can't do this."The shadowy figure behind him persisted, his voice barely above a whisper. "Do it, Charles. You know you want to. End her life quickly and painlessly. It won't take more than a second.""I can't," Charles whispered, his voice choked with emotion. "I can't kill her.""If you don't pull the trigger, I'll do it myself," the menacing figure threatened from the darkness, causing Mary to shake her head vehemently and sob louder than before."No, Charles, don't listen...to him. You love me. You won't...kill me. You don't have to." She said in between hiccups and gut-wrenching sobs.Charles's breaths were ragged as he shook his head, tears streaming down his cheeks as

    Camilla's heart dropped, her body frozen in shock and horror at his confession. The room felt oppressive, the atmosphere charged with an eerie energy.Tears welled up in Charles's eyes as he continued to laugh, his grip tightening on Camilla's arm. "Oh, the look on her face when I took her last breath," he rasped, his voice laced with sadistic delight.Camilla's mind raced, the gravity of the situation sinking in. She needed to find a way to escape, to get out of this nightmare before it was too late.Charles's laughter finally faded, replaced by a deranged grin.

    Camilla remained unconscious, her body rigidly bound to a chair in the dimly lit room.A black bag covered her head, concealing her features until it was abruptly snatched away.In the eerie silence, Charles's shoes clicked softly as he paced around her, only to come to a stop right in front of her.A sickeningly sadistic tone laced his words as he spoke. "We're here, princess. It's time to wake up," he declared, holding her gaze steadily with his hazel eyes.Minutes stretched on, yet there was no response from Camilla. Growing impatient, Charles decided to take a more forceful approach.Leaning in, he pressed his lips against hers, his tongue slipping along her bottom lip in a crude act of dominance.At first, there was no reaction whatsoever, until suddenly her teeth sank into his lower lip, causing him to instinctively pull away, his face contorting in pain.A humorless chuckle reverberated around the room as he held his injured lip, blood trickling down his chin."Feisty, aren't w

    Alexander arrived at the hotel, well past midnight. He carefully shut the door, assuming Camilla was already inside and likely asleep.As he entered the room, he was engulfed in darkness.After a tiring day at the hospital, all he desired was to relax in a soothing bath and snuggle up in bed with Camilla.In order to brighten up the space, he flipped the switch on the wall. What he saw in the illuminated suite left him stunned.He noticed a shattered vase lying on the floor, its delicate pieces scattered around.The once elegant golden statue, used for decoration and formerly perched on the shelf, now lay broken into two separate parts on the ground.A peculiar sight greeted him as he glanced towards the floor, where an unusually large amount of sand seemed to have accumulated.His gaze then shifted to the bed, which appeared disheveled and empty, though with slight signs of recent disturbance.Camil...Camilla?" His voice trembled with worry as he cautiously made his way into the room

    After entering her hotel suite, Camilla hastily secured the door before collapsing onto the floor.Her handbag tumbled beside her, and her phone spilled out in the process.Breathing heavily, her breath labored, she struggled to regain her composure.Adrenaline coursed through her veins, leaving her feeling dizzy and slightly nauseous.Suddenly, she felt the contents of her stomach rising, threatening to escape her mouth.With great effort, she managed to contain it, pushing herself to her feet despite her unsteady balance.She made a hasty dash for the bathroom, where she emptied the contents of her stomach into the toilet.Camilla knelt in front of the toilet, her body racked with retching and her breath coming in gasps.The cool bathroom tiles pressed against her cheek as she tried to steady herself.Time seemed to stretch on endlessly as she endured the ordeal, and eventually, the vomiting subsided, leaving her feeling utterly drained and trembling.She carefully stood up, holding
