View MoreCHAPTER – A RUSHED WEDDINGAaron stood near the entrance, watching as guests arrived. Everything was happening so fast. Initially, today was just supposed to be an engagement announcement, but at the last minute, he had changed his mind. He pressured Clara, convinced her, and now, tonight, they were having a wedding. A small one—just close family, business associates, and, of course, the press.His mother walked in, a proud smile on her face.“You did well, my son,” she said, adjusting the cuff of his suit. “Snatching Clara away from Alex… Now, you’re about to become the son-in-law of one of the richest ministers in the country. This is a victory.”Aaron smirked. “It was never about love, Mother. This is business.”“And that’s exactly why I’m proud of you.” She patted his shoulder. “Love is a distraction. Wealth and power—that’s what matters.”Aaron didn’t respond. He already knew that. He had learned it the hard way.After a brief conversation with his mother, he excused himself and
CHAPTER — A NEW STRATEGY(Mira’s POV)I tapped my fingers against the table, my mind running through every possible scenario. The more I thought about Alex’s plan—the dramatic entrance, the accusations, the confrontation—the more I realized it wasn’t the right move. It was too direct, too reckless. Aaron wasn’t just any man. He was calculated, manipulative. If I came in screaming, exposing him in front of everyone, he would find a way to turn it against me. He always did.No, I needed to be smarter than that.“I don’t think we should do it that way,” I said suddenly, breaking the silence.Alex raised a brow. “What do you mean?”I took a deep breath, gathering my thoughts. “If I walk in and start throwing accusations, he’ll immediately be on high alert. Everyone will. They’ll see me as a threat, and they’ll do everything to discredit me, to push me away again. I can’t afford that.”He folded his arms, listening. “So what’s the alternative?”I leaned forward. “I make an entrance, yes, b
CHAPTER — THE PLAN(Mira’s POV)The morning air was crisp as I stepped outside onto the small balcony where Alex was waiting. The city was slowly coming to life, but my mind was already racing ahead of the day’s events. The wedding. The confrontation. The beginning of my revenge.Alex stood by the railing, his back turned to me as he sipped his coffee. His posture was calm, but I knew better. He was thinking, calculating, planning every step just like I was.“You’re up early,” he said without turning around.I pulled the thin cardigan around me tighter. “I barely slept.”He finally turned to face me, his sharp eyes scanning my face as if searching for cracks. “I figured.” He gestured to the small table with a cup of coffee waiting for me. “Sit. We need to go over everything.”I did as he said, wrapping my hands around the warm mug, letting the heat ground me.“So,” he began, leaning forward, “today is the day. Are you ready?”I took a deep breath. “I have to be.”He nodded approvingly
JOSH AT HOMEAaron dragged Josh into the house with a firm grip on his wrist. The moment they stepped inside, the atmosphere felt heavy, suffocating even. The grand living room was dimly lit, the air thick with tension. Clara, Aaron’s fiancée, sat on the couch with a fake, sweet smile plastered on her face, and beside her was his grandmother-the woman Josh never really liked.Josh crossed his arms, glaring up at his father. “I told you I wanted to stay at Uncle Alex’s,” he muttered under his breath.Aaron shot him a sharp look. “You are my son, and this is your home. You will stay here.”Josh bit his tongue, knowing that arguing would only make things worse. Instead, he shifted his gaze to the floor, trying to push away the anger bubbling inside him.Aaron sighed and walked toward the bar, pouring himself a drink. He took a slow sip before turning back to Josh. “Tomorrow is my wedding day, and I expect you to be on your best behavior.”Josh didn’t respond, his small fingers tightening
MIRA’S POVThe water was cold. It filled my ears, my nose, my mouth. I felt weightless, floating in the silence beneath the surface.I kept my eyes shut, squeezing them tight. But the memories wouldn’t stop.Gunshots.Pain.His voice. You should have never come into my life.The sound of my own screams.I opened my mouth to breathe, but the water rushed in. It burned my throat, but I didn’t care. Maybe if I just stayed here, everything would stop.Then, suddenly—A strong grip yanked me out of the water.I gasped, coughing violently as air filled my lungs again. My chest ached, my body trembling. Strong arms held me, pulling me close.“Mira!”I blinked, water dripping from my eyelashes. Alex. His face was pale, his eyes wide with panic. His hands gripped my shoulders tightly.“What the hell are you doing?” he shouted, shaking me slightly.I shivered, unable to form words. I was soaked, my clothes heavy with water. My body felt numb, but my mind was spinning.“He came here,” I whispere
MIRA’S POVJosh kept talking and talking, telling me every little detail about his days without me. I wasn’t tired at all. If anything, I wanted to hear more. Every word he spoke made me realize how much I had missed. How much time had been stolen from me.Then, suddenly, a loud knock echoed through the house.Josh stopped mid-sentence, his eyes darting toward the door. He frowned and got up quickly, peeking through the window. Then, he gasped.“Who is it?” I whispered, already feeling a strange sense of dread.Josh turned to me, his voice barely above a whisper. “Daddy.”My heart stopped. My breath caught in my throat. I felt weak all over, my hands turning ice-cold. Aaron. He’s here.Before I could even think, Josh grabbed my hand tightly. “Listen to me, Mummy. Don’t be scared, okay? I won’t say a word. Come, let’s hide you.”I was too frozen to move at first, but my son didn’t hesitate. He dragged me toward the stairs, his small hands gripping mine with surprising strength. He led
MIRA’S POVJosh plopped down beside me on the couch, his legs swinging as he sipped from the juice box Alex had given him earlier. His eyes sparkled with excitement, but there was also something else—something deeper. I had missed so much, and I could tell my son had a lot to say.“So,” I said, brushing my fingers through his hair. “Tell me everything. What have you been up to while I was gone?”Josh took a deep breath and puffed out his chest dramatically. “A lot, Mummy. So many things happened! You won’t believe it.”I smiled. “Try me.”“Well,” he started, tapping his chin thoughtfully, “first of all, I’m in a new football academy now. Daddy said it was better for me, but I don’t like it. The coaches are okay, but the other kids are kinda mean sometimes.”I frowned. “Mean? What do you mean, sweetheart?”Josh shrugged, looking down at his juice box. “They say stuff. Like… weird stuff about Daddy and Uncle Alex. And about you.”I stiffened, my grip on his hand tightening slightly. “Wh
Mira’s POVI sat quietly in the car, my hands resting on my lap as I stared out the window. The city lights flickered as we drove past, illuminating the roads and casting a glow inside the tinted glass. My disguise—a black mask, black hat, and oversized sunglasses—felt suffocating, but it was necessary.My face was everywhere.I was a ghost that had come back to life, and if anyone recognized me, it would cause chaos.Alex glanced at me from the driver’s seat. “You can take it off now.”I turned to him, hesitating.“The windows are tinted,” he continued. “No one can see you, and besides…” His lips twitched slightly. “You’re practically unrecognizable with this new look.”I let out a breath and slowly removed the sunglasses first, then the mask, and finally the hat, letting my hair fall over my shoulders.I caught a glimpse of myself in the side mirror. It was still me, but not entirely. My once soft features had hardened, my eyes carried a weight they didn’t before, and my lips no lon
Mira’s POVThe day had finally come. I was leaving.For months, I had been trapped in this isolated hospital hidden deep within the woods, a place that had become both my prison and my sanctuary. The air was thick with the scent of antiseptic, and the walls, though painted in dull colors, held the whispers of my pain, my recovery, and my rebirth.I stood by the window, staring at the unfamiliar world outside. The trees swayed with the wind, their rustling leaves reminding me that life continued beyond these walls. I clutched the bag in my hands, the only belongings I had in this place, and exhaled deeply. Today was the day I would reclaim my life.A soft knock on the door broke my thoughts, and when I turned, the doctors and nurses were gathered at the entrance. My heart clenched. These people had saved me, healed me, and comforted me when I had been at my weakest. Seeing them now, ready to say goodbye, filled my chest with something heavy and bittersweet.Dr. Harrison, the surgeon wh
