It was my first day back at work, and I was about to face the one person I had been avoiding. The implications of Lena’s deception weighed heavily on my conscience, but I couldn't act recklessly.

Nicholas was sitting by the window, a rare smile on his face as he took in the morning sun. Despite everything he went through, he still managed to look regal and composed.“Good morning, Nicholas,” I greeted him softly, trying to keep my tone light.“Emma,” he replied, turning to face me with a warm smile. “It’s good to see you back. How are you feeling?”“I’m doing okay. How about you?”He rolled his shoulders in a casual shrug. “As well as one can be in my situation. But it’s good to have

All I wanted was to crawl into bed and let the world disappear, but life had other plans.My phone buzzed just as I was about to get into my car. I fetched it out of my pocket, hoping it was Jason, my expression turning hopeful. But it was a message from an anonymous number.

She's some rich heiress. – A friend."My heart sank, dread pooling in my stomach. I felt paralysed for a moment, contemplating whether to ignore it or go investigate.

My father was in full swing, his voice booming with excitement as he outlined another business venture, punctuating each declaration with grand gestures. For a brief moment, I envied his enthusiasm. It must be nice to live so blissfully blind to the real world.Lena sat next to me, her phone clutched in her manicured hand. She seemed disinterested at first, fidgeting with her diamond bracelet, but then I noticed her glancing at her phone with a smile, her eyes lighting up in a way I hadn't seen before. Suddenly, she stood up, her chair scraping against the floor."Where are you going?" our father asked, more out of obligation than curiosity."I need to make a call. I'll be right back," Lena said, her voice tinged with urgency.I watched her disappear down the hallway, something about her behaviour nagging at me. It was rare to see Lena smile like that. I shrugged off the

Getting to the front desk, my father began to ask where Nicholas was when a doctor came up behind us."Family of Nicholas Blackthorn?" he asked."Yes, I'm his wife, Lena", Lena answered, her voice quivering. “is he okay?”"I’m Dr. Carter. Nicholas sustained severe injuries in a car accident. He has multiple fractures in his legs and spine. Unfortunately, he might not regain full use of his legs."Lena gasped, and I felt her grip tighten on my arm. Seeing her like this, so fragile and vulnerable, stirred something in me. I wanted to hold her and take away all her pain."Can she see him?" I asked for her because I could see she was seconds away from having a breakdown.Dr. Carter nodded, and I went to let go of Lena's hand to let her follow the doctor, but she gripped my hand tighter, telling me that she wanted me with her.Together, we follo
Entangled with my sister's ex Chapter Four: Awakenings and Secrets
The buzz of the morning commute surrounded me as I made my way to the hospital. My thoughts were a whirlpool, swirling with worries about Nicholas, Lena, and the recent betrayal I had uncovered in my own life. The fluorescent lights of the hospital entrance were a stark contrast to the gloom in my heart, the hum and bustle of the sterile environment a harsh reminder that life goes on, pain notwithstanding.Arriving at my station, I quickly stashed my things in a locker and made a beeline for Nicholas's room, ready to check on him and hopefully see Lena there. As I gently pushed open the door, my eyes widened in surprise. Nicholas lay there alone, his rugged face softened by the harsh whiteness of the hospital bed. Where was Lena?

I didn't want to go to the hospital. The thought of being around my family, playing along with their deceit and schemes, made my skin crawl.

The word of the Alpha was law, and my feelings had no place in the immediate future.As I walked into the hospital with Lena and my parents trailing behind them, the tension between us was palpable. Lena’s manicured hand gripped her phone tightly, her face a mask of controlled panic, and my father’s silenced rage simmered beneath his business-casual facade. We stepped into Nicholas’s room. He was sitting up in bed, looking healthier than I had expected, but with a stern expression that spoke volumes. Guilt welled up inside me, choking my ability to form words. What could I say? That his wife had been lying to him? That she was already proclaiming love to another man in secret corners? It wasn’t my place, and I had no choice as much as I hated now being tangled in
Entangled with my sister's ex Chapter Six: An Unexpected Proposition
The world outside seemed to blur as I walked aimlessly, the cold evening air nipping at my skin. The events at the hospital played over and over in my mind like a broken record. I kept thinking about Nicholas — the betrayal he felt, the rage in his eyes, and how he had dissolved their bond in front of us all. It was too much, too overwhelming. I found myself longing for solace in my small apartment, away from the chaos that had unfolded.As I entered my building, the familiar ding of the elevator seemed to invite a heavy sense of relief. Finally, the walls of my sanctuary surrounded me. I dropped my keys on the small table in the foyer and made a beeline to the lounge. I slid onto the couch and grabbed a half-eaten tub of vanilla ice cream from the freezer. Comfort food had always been my solace. Digging an oversized spoon into the tub, I let the cold sweetness melt across my tongue, hoping it would cool the turmoil inside me.A knock on the door interrupted the rhythmic sound of my s
