Fern's Perspective

Here's the proofread and edited version of the passage with improved flow and idiomatic expression:

I stood by the window, staring at the darkening sky in the distance. The night was deepening, and a heavy, oppressive feeling hung in the air. I knew this moment would come sooner or later. I had been prepared for the storm for a long time, but I never expected it to arrive so suddenly, so violently.

The lights outside flickered, as if mirroring the anxiety and uneasiness that swirled within me. My heartbeat quickened, and my footsteps grew heavier. I didn't turn around, knowing that once I did, I could no longer hide what I was keeping from him.

"Fern."

Giovanni's voice rang out behind me, low and commanding, laced with an unspoken threat. My body tensed involuntarily, but I didn't face him, only lowering my head slightly, silently feeling the weight of his presence.

"Are you planning to keep hiding it fore

    Giovanni's PerspectiveI stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, holding the latest agreement from Elena in my hand. Outside, the city was shrouded in night, its bustle and hustle as tumultuous as the chaos in my mind. Neon lights flashed, but no matter how long I stared, the view couldn't relieve the weight I felt inside.Elena's image was a nightmare I could barely shake. Her sly, deep eyes always found the most sensitive spots, striking at my fragile defenses. Despite the loathing in my heart, I knew it was only temporary—I couldn't tear off the mask of hypocrisy just yet."Are you going to keep dragging this out?" Elena's voice suddenly cut through the silence from behind me, laced with a threat I couldn't ignore.I turned around to face her, her overbearing presence almost unbearable. The indifference on her face only made it worse. Elena was wearing an elegant, dark-colored dress, her signature overly confident smile in

    Giovanni's PerspectiveI didn't tell anyone what I was about to do—not even Tobias. Alone, I drove to the place where Fern had hidden the children all those years ago. This place wasn't new to me; it was located in a remote town, a bit far from the city—an off-the-beaten-path spot, perfect for Fern to hide both himself and his child.The car bumped along the desolate countryside, with few people in sight and the occasional abandoned house. I had never realized how far this place was from civilization.By the time I arrived, the sky had darkened slightly. The simple house still stood at the foot of the hill, the wooden frames above the windows weathered and faded. The years had left their mark on it. I parked my car and walked up to the door, my fingers resting on the knob. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for whatever I was about to face.I knocked.The door opened, and there, standing in the doorway, was Fern's brother—Oliver

    Fern's PerspectiveLate at night, I sat by the window, watching the city grow quieter and quieter. My heart was a whirl of emotions. There wasn't even a whisper of wind outside; the air was so still you could almost hear your own heartbeat. I felt tired, weighed down by worries about the future and endless thoughts of the union between Giovanni and Elena.Suddenly, there was a soft knock at the door. I froze for a moment, not expecting anyone. I set the book I'd been holding down and walked to the door, opening it gently. A shuffling figure stood on the other side, and my heart skipped a beat."Giovanni?" I whispered.Giovanni stood in the doorway, clearly drunk. His eyes were glassy, his face a mixture of pain and exhaustion. He shook his head slightly and tried to force a smile, though it looked painfully strained. "Can I... come in?" His voice was hoarse, with an unmistakable hint of suppressed pain.I hesitated, a swirl of emot

    Fern's PerspectiveGiovanni was still sleeping, his peaceful face revealing how calm and carefree he was in that moment. However, I knew this peace wouldn't last long.I gently broke free from Giovanni's embrace, stood up, and walked to the window. The sunlight outside poured into the room through the curtains, and light and shadows intermingled as if everything were silently narrating past hurts and helplessness. I took a deep breath, my heart filled with conflicting emotions. I never thought I would find myself back in Giovanni's life, not like this. I had left with the determination to protect myself and my children, but now, I was once again in this man's world.Glancing back at the still-sleeping Giovanni, a surge of complex emotions flooded through me. I remembered all the sweet moments we'd shared, but I also recalled the hurt and indifference he'd shown me. My heart ached as if it had been sliced by a knife, yet I couldn't deny that he s

    Fern's PerspectiveGradually, my mood began to calm, though my heart still felt heavy. I knew I had made the hardest decision of my life. The atmosphere in the car was quiet and oppressive; aside from the hum of the engine, there was almost no sound at all. Daniel leaned against my shoulder, his eyes fluttering open and closed occasionally, as if he was still lost in the view outside the window. My hand gently rested on his head, my fingers brushing through his hair, and there was an undeniable warmth inside me.I gazed out the window, watching the city's buildings recede further into the distance. The wheels of the car turned steadily, as though they were carrying away all my attachments. I had no idea what the future would hold or whether my decision would bring pain to my child, but I knew I couldn't let Giovanni continue to be a part of our lives.I recalled Giovanni's expression from last night—uncertain, surprised, yet with a hint of

    Fern's PerspectiveA few days passed, and life for Daniel and me gradually stabilized. I found a temporary job, which, although it didn't pay much, was enough for us to cover our basic living expenses. The town's inhabitants were kind, the atmosphere peaceful, and for a while, life didn't fluctuate too much. However, an unsettling worry lingered in the back of my mind—I knew the peace was only temporary and that the real challenge had just begun.I walked around the town every day, took Daniel for walks, and occasionally visited the nearby market to buy fresh vegetables and fruits. Although Daniel was a bit uncomfortable in this new place at first, he gradually began playing with other children and integrating into town life. Seeing the smile on my child's face lifted my spirits a little. I knew that, even though everything had changed, I would do my best to create a secure future for Daniel.However, late at night, I often sat alone in fr

The house seemed unnaturally quiet, and the air felt thick and heavy. I couldn't shake the growing sense of unease rising in my chest.The place was a mess. Papers were scattered across the table, a few books had been knocked off the bookshelf, and shoes and clothes were strewn across the floor, suggesting that something had happened here. My heart sank as I quickly scanned the room, my eyes darting to every corner of the living room, searching for the one person I was most familiar with—my son, Daniel."Daniel?" I called out, my voice sounding weak as it echoed through the empty house, but there was no answer. My heart began to race, and my brow furrowed as I hurried through each room, checking every detail. The kitchen, the bedrooms, the bathrooms—everywhere was empty. There was no sign of Daniel.

My heart raced faster than usual, and every step I took felt like it weighed a ton. My grip on the car keys tightened, and my eyes locked on the deserted warehouse ahead. I knew instinctively that nothing was going to be easy tonight, but there was no turning back. I didn't even let myself consider it.I tightened the collar of my jacket and took a deep breath, feeling a wave of suffocating pressure. Daniel's silhouette kept haunting my thoughts—the one closest to my bloodline, the one child who still didn't know who he truly was. I instinctively knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, I couldn't allow Daniel to be harmed.The doors to the warehouse were closed, and a disconcerting silence hung in the air. I knew Elena had anticipated my arrival. As I approached the door, I gazed at the faded iron gate, hearing the bea

I jerked my head up to meet a pair of long-lost eyes.In an instant, my world collapsed.I threw myself into his arms, tears spilling uncontrollably, and finally let out a sob.—You're back."You're awake!" I was so overwhelmed with emotion that I nearly cried out, my tears already slipping down my cheeks.The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, a weak but warm smile forming. "Why... are you crying?""You were unconscious for so long... I thought..." I covered my mouth, unable to stop the sobs. All the strength drained from me in that moment, and I could no longer hold back. I jumped into his arms."I'm here..." he murmured weakly, gently stroking my back.

    Fern's PerspectiveHe's such a proud man. He's given so much to protect Daniel and me. He wouldn't just give up, would he?I forced myself to calm down, taking a deep breath before lifting my head with resolve."I want to see him."The hospital room was unnervingly quiet.He lay on the clean, white hospital bed, his face pale and bloodless. His chest rose and fell slowly, heavily. His once strong and powerful body was now covered in gauze and medical instruments, losing its former majesty.I slowly walked toward him, reached out, and gently held his hand. It was still warm, which reassured me, if only slightly."Can you hear me?" I murmured, my voice so soft it almost seemed to be swallowed by the wind.There was no response.I pressed my lips together, tears welling up in my eyes."You asked me to forgive you before, and I promised… so you can't just leave me like this." I choked out, my v

I stood there, frozen, as if I had lost all strength."Mommy…" Daniel sobbed, tugging at my hand. Only then did I slowly snap back to reality, pulling him close and gently patting his back to soothe him. But my own body trembled slightly.Would he wake up?Would he open his eyes and look at me?I held Daniel tightly, my nails digging into my palms as I forced myself to stay calm. I can't break down. I can't let myself fall apart. But—"Fern," Tobias's voice rang out. He stood in the doorway of the emergency room, his gaze heavy with unspoken emotions."He…" My voice cracked. "He's going

His body was still drenched in blood, with deep gashes on his back, exposing bone, yet he ignored the pain and ran toward me with single-minded determination.My heart raced in my chest, and once again, tears slipped down my face."Fern—!"He roared, throwing the last of the black-clad men aside and enveloping me in his arms. In that instant, it was as if I had truly come to life.But before we could catch our breath, Elena's laughter echoed in our ears."You really moved me, but…"She slowly raised the remote control in her hand, her eyes gleaming with twisted malice.

    Fern's Perspective"Spare them..." His voice was low and raspy, as if the breath had been squeezed from deep within his throat—fragile yet firm.Elena laughed softly, her dagger at some point in her hand. The sharp tip of the blade gently slid down his cheek, leaving a fresh trail of blood on his already scarred skin. She leaned in close to him, whispering in his ear, "You really make me sick to my stomach, to have fallen this low. Didn't you always despise me? What now?"He didn't respond. He just opened his gray-blue eyes and gazed deeply into mine.My heart trembled.He was saying goodbye."No!" I struggled desperately, attempting in vain to rush toward him. But the man in black behind me held me down in an unrelenting grip, a cold gun barrel pressed against my back.Elena stood and turned to the henchman beside her, her tone chillingly calm. "Show him what humiliation truly means."Before I could reac

    Fern's PerspectiveThe pungent stench of blood filled the entire warehouse, mixing with the rusty scent in the damp air, creating a nauseating atmosphere. My hands were bound behind my back, my knees sunk deep into the cold concrete floor, and my body had grown numb from the prolonged position. But the pain in my heart was unbearable, as if it were being scorched by an unrelenting fire, so intense that it stole my breath.Elena stood nearby, her heels echoing sharply on the ground like the bells of a death knell. She smiled, her narrow eyes glinting with the playful satisfaction of a victor, while several black-clad bodyguards behind her held Daniel down in a deadly grip. His mouth was gagged, and his eyes were wide with terror.But my gaze was fixed on the man before me—him, my MATE, my Alpha, the man I thought I'd never forgive in my life. Yet here he was, kneeling before Elena.I had never seen him so disheveled.His black

The warehouse door was viciously kicked open, sending dust flying and filling the air with a pungent, decaying smell. I instinctively opened my eyes, only to see a tall figure step through the doorway, standing frozen in the intersection of light and shadow, as if emerging from hell, radiating an unmissable aura.That figure was all too familiar to me—it was Giovanni.My heart skipped a beat, overwhelmed with a mix of surprise and pain. I hadn't expected Giovanni to be here, and even though I had long accepted that there was no going back to the past between us, seeing him in front of me still made my heart race and left me momentarily breathless.Elena clearly hadn't anticipated this turn of events either. My face immediately darkened, my gaze fixed on Giovanni like a viper's, and I drew a pitch-black pistol, aiming it menacingly at my
