Chapter 14 – A Mother’s Desperate Plea

Mira’s POV

The moment Alex stepped into my hospital room, I couldn’t hold back anymore. I grabbed his hand, my voice shaking. “Alex, please… take Josh home with you.”

Alex looked down at me with concern in his eyes. “Mira, do you know where he is?”

I swallowed hard and reached for my phone, showing him the long message Josh had sent me. Alex took the phone from my hand, his eyes scanning over the words. I could see the way his jaw clenched as he read, the way his brows furrowed deeper with each sentence.

“He’s at the park,” I whispered, trying my best to describe it. “The one we used to go to. It has those swings he loves so much, and there’s a big tree with a bench right underneath it. That’s where we used to sit and talk.” My voice cracked at the memory, but I pushed through it. “He’s all alone, Alex. Please, you have to go get him.”

Alex handed my phone back and sighed. “Mira, what if… what if I bring him here to you?”

I stared at him, shocked

The two were laughing softly, his arm draped lazily over her shoulder as they made their way inside. Clara leaned up and kissed him on the cheek, her lips leaving a faint smudge of red on his skin.“Finally,” Aaron said, kicking off his shoes and pulling Clara closer. “Some peace and quiet.”Clara grinned, running her fingers through his hair. “I thought you’d never get us out of that restaurant. You’ve been distracted all evening.”Aaron smirked. “Well, I’m focused now.” He leaned in, his lips brushing hers as they started kissing.Before their moment could deepen, the sound of hurried footsteps interrupted them. One of the cooks appeared at the edge of the hallway, her face pale and worried. “Sir—”Aaron pulled back with an annoyed sigh, his expression immediately turning sour. “What is it?”The cook hesitated, wringing her hands nervously. “It’s… it’s Jos

    Chapter 17- Protecting JoshI couldn’t believe what I had just overheard. Aaron’s voice, so cold and detached, echoed in my mind like a broken record. I stared at Alex, who stood near the door with his phone in hand, his jaw tight and his knuckles white from gripping the device too hard.“Unbelievable,” I muttered under my breath, shaking my head. I didn’t know why I was surprised anymore. Aaron’s indifference had always been glaring, but hearing it laid out so plainly—how he couldn’t even at least to check on his son’s wellbeing or bother to confirm where he was—still hit me like a punch to the gut.Alex finally ended the call, his frustration visible in the way he shoved his phone into his pocket. He turned to me and sighed. “He’s something else, isn’t he?”I scoffed, crossing my arms over my chest. “That’s putting it lightly.”Alex sat down on the chair beside my hospital bed, rubbing his temples. “He assumed Josh was with me the whole time.

The faint hum of traffic outside his penthouse windows filled the silence as he listened to the voice on the other end. The person on the line wasn’t just an associate—this was someone Alex trusted implicitly, someone who had stood by him during the messiest periods of his life.“Alex,” the voice began, laced with curiosity. “I’ve been meaning to ask you something.”Alex tilted his head, sensing the weight behind his friend’s tone. “What is it?”There was a pause, as if his friend was choosing his words carefully. “I’ve been watching the way you’ve been handling things with Mira. And don’t get me wrong, you’ve gone above and beyond to help her. But I can’t help but wonder—what’s your endgame here? Why are you doing all this?”Alex let out a small sigh, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the desk. “I’m doing it because she needs help,” he said simply.“That’s not all, though, is i

He hadn’t wanted to come himself, but since the cook had been nagging about Josh’s whereabouts, he decided to just pick the boy up and put an end to the complaints. It was a simple task—drive in, pick up his son, and go home.But as soon as he spotted Josh standing near the school gate, he knew things wouldn’t be that easy.Josh was standing there, arms crossed, a stubborn look on his small face. He didn’t even move when Aaron’s car came to a stop in front of him.Aaron rolled down the window. “Josh, get in.”Josh didn’t budge.Aaron’s patience was already thin. “Josh,” he said, his voice sharper this time, “I said get in.”Josh shook his head. “I’m waiting for Uncle Alex.”Aaron frowned, gripping the steering wheel. “What do you mean you’re waiting for Alex? I’m your father. Get in the car.”Josh took a small step back, his face filled with defiance. “I

Alex, on the other hand, was leaning back in his chair, arms crossed, already looking unimpressed.Aaron cleared his throat and stood up, adjusting the cuff of his expensive suit. “I called you all here because I have something important to share,” he said, his voice filled with confidence.

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.

    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

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

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.

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

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.

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.
