Entangled with my sister's ex Chapter One: Unravelled
I stumbled out of the hospital, my scrubs clinging to me like a second skin. The neon lights flickered as I clutched my bag, exhaustion weighing me down. 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. I furrowed my brows, quickly unlocking my phone to see what was so urgent."Emma, you deserve the truth. Jason is with another woman right now. I've seen them at The Silver Moon Bar. 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. As much as I wanted to trust Jason, a gut feeling told me something was off.Deciding I needed to see it with my own eyes, I drove to The Silver Moon Bar, my heart pounding. When I arrived, the bustling crowd and the di

The lounge room was awash in expensive chandeliers' warm, golden glow bouncing off the polished mahogany furniture. 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

As we sped to the hospital, I sat next to Lena as she gripped my hand tight. As we pulled up to the hospital, everyone jumped out, rushing inside. 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? Her absence gnawed at me, her empty chair a silent testimony to her continued absence. I stepped back out of the room, determined to find some answers. Spotting Dr. Carter down the hall, I hurried toward him."Dr. Carter, how’s Nicholas doing today?" I asked
Entangled with my sister's ex Chapter Five: Revelation and Rejection
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. But Beta James had made it clear: Nicholas had awakened and demanded our presence. 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
Entangled with my sister's ex Chapter Seven: Confrontations and Realisations
Leaving the hospital felt surreal. The world seemed oddly unchanged while my life was getting more tangled by the minute. The thickness of the envelope in my hand was a constant reminder of the complex web of loyalty, betrayal, and duty that now ensnared me. As I parked in front of my family's mansion, nausea churned my stomach. I couldn't bring myself to feel at home here anymore. I hesitated for a moment, running my fingers over the coarse edge of the envelope meant for Lena. With a sigh, I steeled myself and walked up to the door, opting to knock instead of strolling in as I used to. Something fundamental within these walls had changed, and barging in seemed wrong.The door creaked open, and there stood Lena. As soon as she saw me, her face twisted into an expression of pure rage.Her eyes blazed with fury. "What do you want?" she snapped venom in her voice. "Actually, I don't care," she spat out, turning sharply and storming off into the depths of the house.Taking a deep breath,

Returning to the hospital for my shift felt surreal. As the faces of familiar patients brought me a semblance of normalcy, anticipation ate at me. By the midpoint of my shift, I knew I couldn't delay the unavoidable any longer.Nicholas' room was at the end of the corridor. I took a deep breath, convincing myself that I could face him, that I could face everything. With trembling fingers, I pushed open the door."Nicholas?" I called softly.He turned to look at me, his piercing gaze unreadable. For a moment, the room suffocated in silence before I cleared my throat and took another step forward."I've come to tell you... I'll take the deal," I said, my voice steady despite the churning inside me. His eyes continued to bore into me, inspecting every minuscule flicker of emotion on my face. Finally, he spoke, "Good. I get discharged tomorrow at 10 am. I expect you to be there."Swallowing hard, I nodded, rummaging through my bag until I found the contract and pen. Silently, I placed th
