The next morning, Aaron gathered the entire family in the grand dining hall of the mansion. The long dining table, usually a place for quiet meals and occasional business discussions, was now the stage for his big announcement. His mother sat at the head of the table, elegantly dressed, sipping her tea as she observed her sons. Aaron’s fiancee , Clara, sat beside her, glancing between Aaron and Alex with mild curiosity. 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. He glanced at his mother, who simply raised an eyebrow, waiting for him to continue.

“I’ve decided to announce my engagement at my company party next week.”He said holding clara’s hands

The words hit me like a punch to the stomach.“What?” I whispered.Alex’s expression softened slightly. “You didn’t know, did you?”I shook my head, my mind spinning. “Aaron told

We’re making sure of that today.” That was all I needed to hear. The transform

The wedding was in two days, and suddenly, everyone was scrambling to keep him in check. First Clara, now his stepmother. He knew Aaron would be next.He sighed and leaned back in his chair when his office door creaked open. His secretary hadn’t announced anyone, which meant this visitor had walked in like they owned the place.And indeed, she did act like she did.Standing in the doorway, dressed in an elegant beige suit, was his stepmother. Her presence alone filled the room with tension.“Alex,” she greeted, her voice smooth but firm.“To what do I owe this visit?” Alex asked, barely glancing up from his desk.She walked in, her heels clicking against the marble floor. “It’s been a while since we spoke.”“We don’t speak,” Alex corrected. “And we never had much to say to each other.”His stepmother sighed, acting like his wo

    Chapter 24 – Perfect Timing As Alex was getting ready to leave his office after a long day, his phone buzzed. He checked the screen and smirked when he saw Aaron’s name flashing.“Hello,” Alex answered casually, already knowing what this call was about.“I want to have a drink with you,” Aaron’s voice came through the phone. It wasn’t a request—it was a statement.Alex raised an eyebrow, amused. They had barely spoken to each other outside of family events, yet suddenly, Aaron wanted to share a drink? How predictable.“Alright,” Alex agreed.The moment he hung up, he let out a small chuckle. It was almost too easy. They were all following the same pattern—Clara, their mother , and now Aaron. One by one, they were trying to keep him in check. If only they knew they were fueling his amusement.When Alex arrived at the bar, Aaron was already seated in a private booth, a glass of whiskey in his hand.

    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.

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

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

    CHAPTER – 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

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

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

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
