Falling For My Billionaire Captor Chapter 21
Doctor Devis’ POVI stood outside the patient's room, my hands tightly clenched at my sides. The soft beeping of the machines had turned into a familiar yet unsettling background noise. I could hear her faint, labored breaths. The young woman had been admitted several days earlier, and I had been closely monitoring her recovery, but the signs were still not encouraging.I was in the midst of reviewing test results when the nurse entered my office with news that made my heart race.“She’s awake,” the nurse announced, her tone a mix of relief and uncertainty. “She’s conscious, but... I don’t think she fully understands what’s happening.”I quickly set my papers aside. “I’ll be there shortly.”As I entered her room, I saw Mona, her face pale and her eyes filled with confusion. She clutched the IV pole tightly, trying to steady herself, but her body shook, and her breaths were shallow. I had encountered patients like her before, but each time, it struck me just as hard. The fragility of l

Mona's POVI blinked, my eyelids heavy, as I felt a soft, cold drop of something wet on my arm. My heart raced, the sensation sending an unfamiliar chill down my spine. It was like the gentle, calming feel of rain, but this wasn’t rain. I felt it again—a few more drops, the water tracing down the inside of my arm. What was happening?I jerked upright, my body groggy, but my mind trying to catch up. I scanned the room, disoriented. The beeping of a machine, the white walls, and the sterile smell of the hospital assaulted my senses. A small window allowed a sliver of light into the room. My vision swam, still foggy from whatever had happened to me.Then, I saw her.Her presence filled the room with warmth and light. I had been so lost in my panic that I hadn’t noticed her sitting beside me. My mother.She was right there—close, her hand still firmly clasped in mine. I didn’t even realize how tightly I had been holding on until I felt the pulse of her fingers in mine. I wanted to believe

Mona’s POVI called her name again, desperate, my voice breaking as I leaned against the edge of the bed. "Mom?" It felt like a dream—like I was still trapped in a haze that I couldn’t shake off. The silence in the room was oppressive, the air thick with the weight of uncertainty. I waited, but the only sound was the faint hum of the machines, the quiet rustle of my own breath.My eyes scanned the room, searching. I couldn’t make sense of what had just happened, why her footsteps had disappeared so quickly. What was going on? Was she coming back? Had I imagined it all?And then, the door creaked open.I froze, my heart skipping a beat in my chest, as if the very sound of the door opening had the power to snap me from the fog I had been lost in. I turned my head just as a figure stepped inside—someone I hadn’t expected.It was Ian.My heart stuttered in my chest. I wasn’t sure what it was—shock, confusion, something deeper. His presence in the room was like an electric jolt that travel

Mona's povI walked down the street of Ian's estates, the chilly evening air biting at my skin, but I didn’t care. I was far too lost in my thoughts to be concerned about the temperature. My fingers gripped the handle of my handbag tightly, as if it could somehow anchor me to this moment, to this brief moment of solitude.The world around me—glossy homes with neatly trimmed lawns and sparkling windows—seemed distant, as though I were walking through a dream. Everything felt surreal, as though I might wake up at any second from this haze of exhaustion and confusion.I tried to push the weight of everything that had been weighing me down—the constant thoughts about work, about the mess in my personal life, about my family—out of my head, but they refused to leave. They spun in a circle in my mind, nagging at me relentlessly. I tried to block it all out. But then, the shrill screech of tires brought me back to reality.I didn’t even have time to react before a car came rushing at me. The

Mona's POVThe car sped down the road, the tires screeching as Vance pushed the accelerator harder, the engine roaring under the pressure. I glanced out the window, my eyes fixed on the blurred lines of the street lights as they passed. My mind, however, was a whirlwind of thoughts, spinning faster than the car itself. I wasn’t sure why I felt so uneasy, why I’d agreed to get in the car with a man I’d just met, but something about him was calming, in an odd way.I let my gaze linger on the road, trying to focus on something else, but then my mind flickered back to Ian. The way he had been with me recently. His affection. His calmness. At first, I had thought it was all an act, a front to hide something darker, something more sinister. But now, after everything that had happened, I wasn’t so sure. Maybe he wasn’t as bad as I’d imagined. Maybe he was just... complicated. I couldn’t deny that there was something in his touch, his gaze, that made me feel... safe.Safe. What a weird word f

Mona's POVThe words "Drop me off?" tasted strange on my tongue as they left my lips, like I was saying something that wasn’t mine to say. The truth was, I wasn't sure I even wanted to leave. The idea of Ian seeing me with someone else—someone like Vance—clawed at the edges of my mind, making my pulse quicken. It didn’t matter how much I tried to push the thought away. The nagging sense of guilt wouldn't let me breathe.Vance's gaze was unwavering, but there was something sharp in his eyes, something calculating that I couldn't quite place. He tilted his head, his lips pulling into a knowing half-smile as he drove. "You feel uncomfortable with the idea, don’t you? You’re not okay with it?"His words sliced through my reverie. I could feel the heat of his stare on the side of my face. He was right, of course. But how could I admit that? How could I confess to him, to anyone, that my life had suddenly felt like it was crumbling into pieces? I wasn’t the woman who needed saving. Yet here

Ian's POVI stood in the living room, my pulse still racing as the sound of Mona’s footsteps grew louder. I knew she’d come through that door, but I couldn’t shake the feeling of rage that coiled tight in my chest. Every breath I took felt like fire, burning through me, threatening to spill over.She had gotten out of the car. She’d looked at me like I was the enemy. Like I was the one who had done something wrong. And it hit me all at once—she was the one who had put distance between us. Not just physically, but emotionally.The sound of the door creaking open snapped me out of my thoughts, and I turned to face her. She was standing there, eyes wide, but her stance was defiant. I could see the way she held herself—like she was trying to hold on to something, but I wasn’t sure what.Before she could say anything, I crossed the room in two strides, gripping her wrist so hard I knew she would feel it tomorrow. She flinched, her eyes flicking to where I was holding her as though it physi

Vance’s POVI spun lazily in my chair, my eyes tracing the sleek lines of the office, the hum of my phone call blending into the background. Veronica was in full-on teenage-mode, as usual—ripping into me about my life choices, my wardrobe, my lack of a personal life.“Vance, you seriously need to get off your high horse and date someone who doesn’t look like she stepped out of a magazine," Veronica mocked, her voice dripping with her usual blend of exasperation and affection.I chuckled, letting my chair spin one more time. "And what’s wrong with that? I happen to like women who know how to present themselves."“Puh-lease. You like the idea of women who look good in photos. You don’t know the first thing about finding someone who actually gets you. Seriously, when was the last time you—”"Don’t start," I cut in, laughing at her irritation. "You're not even old enough to understand what I need, Veronica. Trust me, my life is perfectly fine without whatever nonsense you’re suggesting."

Vance's Point of ViewFlynn was just about to turn and walk out, her back straight, her expression cool as ice, when my hand shot out and gripped her wrist. She froze, her breath catching slightly at the contact, and I could feel the subtle tension in her body. She was on the edge, ready to retreat, but I wasn’t done yet. Not when everything inside me felt like it was coming apart.“Hey,” I said, my voice low, but with an edge that betrayed my nerves. “Can we talk?”She didn’t immediately respond. Her eyes locked onto mine, cold and calculating, but there was something more behind that steel wall. I could see the way her pulse quickened at the edge of her throat, the slight shift of her stance, as if she was debating whether to pull away or stay.I didn’t want to let her go. Not yet. Not like this.“Vance,” she said after a moment, her voice cool, clipped. “What is it that you want? You’ve got your own mess to sort out with Mona, and I—"“I know,” I interrupted, trying to steady my br

Mona's POVThe audacity of him standing there in my house, that too with her around. Vance. Of all people. The very person who had played a role in the mess I was trying so desperately to escape. I stared at him, every fiber of my being burning with confusion and frustration. My fist clenched tighter as I struggled to hold back a slew of emotions. Was I angry at him? At myself? At this whole damn situation?"What the hell are you doing in my house, Vance?" I couldn't keep my voice steady. It cracked, betraying the mess of emotions swirling inside me. "Why the hell are you here, after everything that happened with Ian? After everything you've done?"He stood there, as if trying to figure out how to navigate the whirlwind of my wrath. His eyes were dark, but his face remained neutral. Too neutral. The way he stared at Flynn—standing just behind him, clearly waiting for a moment to pounce—had me seething.Is he… is he interested in her?The thought alone was enough to make my stomach twi

Vance's POVI hadn’t heard from Mona in days. The silence had been suffocating. Since the night she left the pub with that look in her eyes, everything had gone cold. Every call I made to her voicemail, every text went unanswered. It wasn’t like her to shut me out like this. She had been distant before, but this—this was something different.It was like she had slipped into another world, leaving me stranded in the wake of her absence. I couldn’t figure it out. Something had changed, and it was gnawing at me, distracting me. The more I thought about it, the more frustrated I became. I needed to see her, to know what was going on. To make sense of whatever had crawled under her skin.I decided to go to her mansion, to confront her face-to-face. The drive was long, my mind racing with all the questions I wanted to ask, but it didn’t matter. I needed answers, even if they would tear apart whatever fragile connection we still had.Pulling up to the iron gates, I felt a twist of unease in

Author povFlynn stood with her arms crossed, leaning against the kitchen counter. The familiar scent of simmering spices filled the room, but her attention wasn’t on the meal she was preparing. Instead, she could feel the weight of Ian’s gaze from across the room, the soft hum of his disapproving presence growing louder in the space between them."I still don’t think it's necessary, Ian," Flynn said, her tone measured but firm. She wasn't going to give in to him, not this time. "I can handle the kitchen on my own, thank you very much. I’m more than capable of cooking without Mona’s help." Her voice carried a hint of finality, as though the matter was closed.Ian was quiet for a moment, his gaze unwavering. He leaned back in his chair, his arms folded across his chest, and the silence stretched thin between them. Flynn could almost hear the gears in his mind turning, considering his next words."I understand you're upset, Flynn," Ian finally said, his voice calm, yet there was an unde

Author’s POVMona’s fingers gripped the doorknob so tightly, her knuckles turned white as she stormed down the stairs, her heart thudding with frustration. The nerve of Ian, treating her like some servant just to get the job done. After all these years of holding the reins, now he was treating her like she was disposable. She could feel the anger bubbling up inside her as she reached the bottom of the stairs, practically shaking with annoyance.Slamming the door behind her, Mona whipped around, her hair flying like a wild storm. How dare he, how dare he, just dismiss her like that! It wasn’t like she had nothing better to do than watch Ian and Flynn stare each other down in that godforsaken house. She had a life, damn it.But no, it wasn’t the time for pouting. She turned back to the door. Maybe she could still catch a glimpse, listen in. She’d been around long enough to know that Ian’s cool façade was always hiding something, and that man—Flynn—had “revenge” written all over him. Mon

Flynn’s POV I stood at the entrance of the door to the man’s house, the one who had taken my sister from me. Her life, snuffed out in a heartbeat, and the police — those incompetent fools — claimed she had done it to herself. The autopsy confirmed it: suicide. But that wasn’t my truth. It couldn’t be. I would never accept that, not when I knew the man who had been in her life, the one who had caused her so much pain, was still breathing, still walking free. That was my problem. It should be his damn problem.I could feel my jaw tightening as the heat of my anger boiled over, a pressure building in my chest. I hissed, a sharp exhale that burned in my lungs, clenching my fists at my sides. I raised my hand to knock, my knuckles hovering in the air, but just as I was about to strike, I felt a tap on my shoulder.“Who are you?” A voice, cold, demanding, sharp with authority—familiar too. It was her. The loud-mouthed woman from the police station.Mona.The last time I had seen her, she w

Ian’s POVMona took a step forward, her voice trembling with anger. “You’ve got to be kidding me. You expect Ian to just hire you as a cook after everything that’s happened? After the way you’re acting right now?”The woman’s lips curled into a thin smile, and for a moment, I almost felt sorry for her. But only for a moment. “You don’t understand. I’ll forgive him. But only if he makes this right.”I turned to Mona, my mind spinning. She was fuming, her fists clenched so tightly that her knuckles were white. “This isn’t how this works,” she muttered under her breath. “This isn’t how you get justice. You don’t hold him hostage and demand a job.”I shook my head, looking at the woman with the kind of exhaustion only someone who had been through this much could understand. “Listen, I don’t care what you think you deserve, but you don’t get to make demands like this. I’m not taking you on just to get out of your petty vendetta.”The woman took a step toward me, her voice dropping to a low

Ian’s POVI stepped into the small, sterile room, the floor tiles cold against my shoes. Mona trailed behind me, clutching a half-empty bag of chips, still chewing on a piece as if it could somehow absorb the absurdity of the situation. I let out a sigh and rubbed my temples, trying to shake off the headache creeping up from the back of my skull.Ken had led us here, his face a mask of indifference. I could tell by the way he glanced at Mona that he didn’t quite know how to deal with the situation, either. But there was no mistake that this wasn’t going to end well for me—no matter how much chocolate or chips Mona had at her disposal.Mona plopped herself down on one of the cold metal chairs, her bag of chips resting on the table in front of her. She shot me a look, as if daring me to try and pretend like everything was fine.Ken was already seated at the desk, flipping through some papers. The silence hung between us like a heavy weight, each second dragging by, stretching the tensio

Mona’s POVIt had been over twenty minutes since I hung up with Ian. Twenty minutes. I glanced at the door again. No sign of him. I rubbed my temple, frustration bubbling inside me. Ian had promised he’d be back soon. But soon could mean anything, right? I had no idea what was going on, and that was driving me insane.I tried to shake it off. Maybe he was caught up with something, but something didn’t sit right. Why hadn't he told me anything about the police, about Inspector Ken showing up? What kind of trouble was he really in? I glanced back at the door again, wondering if I should just open it and ask the inspector more questions. But then the thought of standing in front of that silent, unblinking cop made me hesitate. I wasn’t exactly in the mood for another cryptic exchange.Instead, I did what any reasonable person would do in a time of crisis: I walked over to the window.I pulled back the curtain with a little more force than necessary and peered outside. There he was, stand
