More days passed that I lost track that it had already been over weeks now since I lost my child through a miscarriage. And yet, for some reason the pain was still here and won’t fade away.

It hurts the most when you know that you could no longer be able to see your baby that you had been praying to have for so long. I had wished for that baby to come for so long, and now I won’t be able to have the chance to hug him ever.

I was still in the middle of my thoughts when all of a sudden, Aunt Lou came from behind me. She was carrying a tray with two cups of coffee.

“I see you woke up quite early today.” Aunt Lou swiftly told me the moment that she was able to get a comfy sitting position.

Aunt Lou was usually wearing her bubbly face once more and I knew that she would try her best to cheer me up today. We usually do this around in the morning before she prepares to head out for her daily appointments.

There are days when I feel like a burden for my aunt knowing that she was already bu

    I have pondered that perhaps Aunt Lou could really be right after all. Choosing to stay her would only make me suffer more and recall about the incident of my miscarriage. It was something that still haunted me now in my everyday life. Which was why, I somehow wish to believe that what Aunt Lou told me would really help me in a way.“Could my decision about moving to Vancouver wait?” I abruptly said that caused Aunt Lou to abruptly draw back a bit with a little taken aback face. “May I know why?” she inquired.At first, I was uncertain about telling her all about it. Especially after what happened, I knew that she would only be upset that it was for this reason why I want to delay the plan to move to Vancouver.However, I knew that I must secure putting the connection between me and ex-husband into a closure. Aside from that, I wanted to make sure that I get all the terms that I asked of Justin.It was for that reason I still prefer to be left behind so that I could work on it. This

    I am filled with an overwhelming wave of anger, surpassing mere surprise. It is truly disheartening to witness the Montefalcos' insatiable greed, going so far as to strip my late parents of their beloved medical center. "Those heartless individuals will stop at nothing until they have taken everything you hold dear." Aunt Lou expressed her frustration. Learning about the news must have truly ignited her anger. "The medical center is now under our management, and it is unbelievable that anyone would even attempt to claim it from us," she exclaimed with a mix of frustration and disbelief. I sensed that her anger surpassed my own. It came as no surprise that her reaction was as expected, considering Aunt Lou and her husband had taken charge of everything at the medical facility after my parents passed away.Naturally, they have every reason to be furious about the Montefalcos' desires. “We can’t let them get away with this. Do you happen to know a reliable lawyer we could consult for

    “It’s you?!” I exclaimed, seeing that it was just none other than the same man, that perverted man, whom I encountered when I disguised as a nurse at the medical facility.He was able to stand up straight as though he had not been severely wounded before. I guess he must have recovered from that wound. I kind of envy him, the wound he had has already healed, whereas mine would probably take a long time, probably never at all, to heal."Oh, look who it is. The nurse who took care of me. What are you doing here all by yourself?” He asked. And just like he did before, he was acting to casual with me again. Still seething with anger from the near collision, I could not help but feel the urge to confront him. "Do not you dare divert the issue here," I said, unable to contain my frustration. You nearly got me killed just now! I vented at him.The man eventually raised his hands before his chest, as though indicating that he surrendered. “Okay, okay, I’m sorry but I was in a bit of a hurry

    “Please don’t hurt me.” Was the only thing that came out of my mouth as the homeless lunatic woman threatened me with the knife in her hand.I was totally scared, my whole body shaking from the fear that had quickly enveloped me. I suddenly began to feel fear about my life. Like since I was stuck in this isolated road with no one to rescue me, only miracle could tell that this lunatic woman wouldn’t hurt me.“Give me all your money now!” The lunatic woman’s stinky breath almost made me puke as she screamed before my face. This also made me instantly cry as I beg for her mercy.In that instant, I immediately pulled my bag to get my purse but before I could even open it, the lunatic woman was swift to take it from me. “Give me that, you dimwit!” I feel so helpless at the moment, it was like my life now depends on if I would give her all my money. Apparently, it would seem that the lunatic woman was so disappointed finding out that the purse was actually empty. “What the hell? Why is i

    It surely was effective given the way that the lunatic woman was quick to stand up and take her knife from me.“I just want the money!” she said, “Give me the money and I’ll leave!” but still insist on wanting to take the money.“You are not going to get a damn money from her!” the man snarled as he pushed the car door quite loud. This time, the man finally took his step out from the car and quickly chased the lunatic woman.“How does it feel when I make you savour the same treatment you caused her just now, huh?” He quickly uttered before her face. He was able to quickly pull her back, pressed her down the ground and used the knife he had swiftly snatched from her hand to press on her neck.And just like the man said, it was just the same treatment as what the lunatic woman did to me. “Damn it, you really stink! What if I bathe you with your own blood? How would that sound, huh?” The man continued to threaten the lunatic woman and I seem to really feel bothered hearing it much more.

    I was feeling a little guilty that I have mistook Leon like some kind of creepy man. I supposed he was just serious about wanting to help me.My reaction was only reasonable, he was a complete stranger to me. Anyone in my position would have probably done the same thing—even if they encountering someone as strikingly captivating as this man before me, although with a bit tinge fondness for green jokes.“Now, you go and eat this for now. Have some rest because I needed to run some urgent errands for a while.” Leon quickly said that distracted us from the short silence that enveloped us both.“Uh, no, I mean, I don’t need to finish this. I needed to go home now. My aunt probably is worried about me.” I promptly told him, remembering that I had been long gone since I left and then I haven’t called at least to inform her of my whereabouts.I bet she’d be worried as hell about where to find me. And knowing my aunt, she would probably be calling for help to find where I was.That instantly

    Coming down to follow Leon was such a sneaky move I never thought I would actually be able to pull out. However, trying to eavesdrop into him and his guests conversation was something I found to be more stupid and reckless.I really thought this place was like a small flat, but I found out that where I woke up was just a spacious room of this large house I am in that it made me wonder if this house was actually leon’s house or if he borrowed it to impress me.However, it wasn’t even my main concern now.My attention was focused on my current situation. I found myself stuck in a position where the possibility of getting found was imminent and that Leon would surely get mad at me if he were to find me here and disobeying his request that I just remain inside the room.While hearing the rest of them talk, I suddenly had a growing sense that they could really be part of some illegal drug dealers. I have no idea what could this produce they’re talking about and who could his guest be refer

    I was not entirely sure why Leon was suddenly sounding as though what he wanted to convey was something I was not ready to know. “I don’t know what exactly you mean by that but since you obviously found out about me eavesdropping then I don’t have any reason to hide it any longer.” I finally admitted that I actually become curious and tried to follow him.And as a result of that, I was wounded on my left heel instead. Sometimes my reckless decisions always puts me to danger and obviously, I really felt bad about it in the end.Although most of the time it often becomes too late for me to regret over my decisions. Even my aunt feels concern at some of my impulsive decisions.I could only just wish now that Leon wouldn't be furious at me now that he knows the truth. I mean, he was surprisingly aware of it by the way so the only thing that worries me now would be his next course of action towards me."How much of our conversation have you heard?" he asked, still his voice was calm that

    The rain was falling again.It always did on days like this—days that felt like endings.I stood on the edge of the cliffs overlooking the stormy waters of Anacortes, my coat pulled tightly around me, the hood shielding my face from the wind that carried the scent of salt and something older—something like goodbye.Leon stood behind me. I didn’t have to turn around to feel him there. His presence was familiar now, carved into my skin like muscle memory. He’d been my gravity, my storm, my salvation, and my ruin—sometimes all at once.“It’s really over, isn’t it?” I whispered, more to the wind than to him.He didn’t answer right away. His silence was as heavy as the stormclouds above us.“I wanted to fix everything for you,” he said finally, his voice hoarse, like it had been dragged across a battlefield. “I wanted to give you a life that didn’t hurt.”I closed my eyes. The ache in my chest pulsed with every beat of my heart. “You did,” I said. “For a while, you did.”I heard the crunch

    I took a deep breath, steadying myself. “I’m not the same person I was before,” I said, my voice firm, unwavering. “And I’m not walking away this time.”The man’s eyes flickered with a moment of doubt, just enough for me to catch. And then, before I could even register what had happened, Leon moved.Faster than I could blink, Leon was in front of me, his hand grabbing the gun and twisting it out of the man’s grasp. The force of it sent the man stumbling back, but he didn’t go down easily. His bodyguards rushed in, but Leon was already a step ahead, disarming one of them with a swift, calculated move.I stood frozen for a moment, trying to process what I was witnessing. Leon—always so calm, always so careful—was ruthless. He was like a force of nature, determined to protect me at all costs.But the fight wasn’t over yet. The man recovered, his eyes burning with rage. “You really think you’ve won?” he spat, his voice dripping with venom. “You’re nothing but a pawn in a game you can’t ev

    The sound of boots drew closer, pounding the floor with an urgency that echoed through the cavernous halls of the estate. My heart raced as the reality of what I had just heard crashed into me like a tidal wave. The man who had once been a part of my life—my family’s betrayer, the one who had orchestrated their deaths—stood there, calmly, as if this was just another night for him.Leon’s grip on my hand tightened, but I didn’t let him pull me away. I could feel the air thickening with tension, the walls pressing in as everything I thought I knew began to crumble.The intruders were only moments away.The man—he—smirked, watching us. “You think this will end well? You’ve no idea what you’re up against. My people are everywhere.”I took a step forward, ignoring Leon’s silent plea to retreat. “You killed them. And you thought I would be the next one to fall in line?” My voice was a whisper, but it held a power I hadn’t realized I had. “You were wrong.”The man’s face faltered, just for a

    Next Morning at the Estate Archives. The basement was cold and damp, and the air smelled of mildew and secrets. Old boxes lined the walls, labeled in my father’s tidy script. Financial records. Land deeds. Correspondence.Leon sifted through a crate of documents while I dug through another.Then something caught my eye.A faded folder labeled: Project Thornfield.I opened it slowly.Inside were blueprints—plans for development across coastal land that was supposed to be protected forest. There were signatures from multiple board members, including names I recognized.And then, one I didn’t.N. Vallis.Leon leaned over. “You know that name?”I shook my head. “No. But look here—he signed off on the project two weeks before my parents died.”Leon pulled out his phone. “I’ll run a background check.”I kept flipping through the documents—and found something that made my blood run cold.An aerial photo.Of the cliffside. Our property.With a giant red X drawn over the coordinates where my p

    THREE WEEKS LATER...The investigation moved faster than I’d expected. With the board fully on our side now, the paper trail unraveled like a thread pulled from an old sweater—each piece of evidence exposing the next. Shell companies. Forged contracts. Witnesses who had remained silent out of fear but were finally coming forward.Still, no one had seen him since the day of the summit. He had vanished without a trace. No flights. No offshore activity. No messages. It was like he’d disappeared into smoke.But Dorian didn’t believe in ghosts. “He’s hiding,” he said as he handed me a thick folder. “And this—this will force him out.”I flipped through the documents. Bank records. A property registered under an alias. Hidden deep in the woods outside of Anacortes. I felt my stomach twist.Leon stepped up behind me, his hand grazing my shoulder. “Let’s pay him a visit.”The cabin was barely more than a shadow tucked between trees. No lights. No car. Just silence and the thrum of insects in t

    Sunlight crept cautiously through the cracks in the blinds, casting golden slivers across the hardwood floor of the safe house bedroom. I sat curled up on the edge of the bed, a blanket draped around my shoulders and the journal heavy in my lap. The cover was cracked, worn with age and secrets. My fingers hovered over the first page for what felt like an eternity.Leon was nearby—he hadn’t slept much, either. He stood at the window with a mug of black coffee, watching the world outside with quiet alertness. When I finally opened the journal, he turned slightly but didn’t speak. He knew I needed silence for this.The first entry was dated nearly two decades ago.July 14th. We signed the contract today. Two families, one future. The woman from Delmar Holdings is more cunning than I expected. She knows we’re desperate—and she used it. I told Mariana to trust me. That this was the only way. God help me, I hope I’m right.My breath hitched. Mariana—that was my mother’s name.I flipped thro

    MARGARETTE'S POVBefore we could react, the door behind us burst open.Three armed men rushed in, dressed in black, their movements precise and rehearsed. Leon shoved me behind him, drawing his gun up in an instant. Dorian, who had been lingering near the entrance, took cover behind a cabinet, gun already out.“Elise’s father wasn’t bluffing,” I breathed, my heart hammering. “He had backup ready.”Leon fired the first shot, catching one of the intruders in the shoulder and sending him crashing to the floor. Chaos erupted. Dorian ducked low and returned fire, narrowly missing another attacker who retaliated with a spray of bullets that shattered the windows.I crouched behind an overturned table, the sound of gunfire drowning out my thoughts. The locket in my palm dug into my skin, its edges sharp—a painful reminder that I couldn’t afford to lose control now.“Elise’s father!” I shouted to Leon. “He’s escaping!”Through the haze of smoke and broken glass, I saw the man slinking toward

    The sound of footsteps pounding in the hallway was the last thing I heard before the door slammed open.I barely had time to react before a rush of armed men poured into the room, their eyes scanning every corner, landing finally on me. There was no mistaking the intent behind their cold stares.“Get down!” Leon’s voice crackled through the earpiece again, but there was no time to obey. I couldn’t allow myself to hesitate—not now, not when the truth was within reach.I raised my gun, my hands steady despite the chaos unfolding around me. I wasn’t going down without a fight, not after everything I had lost. Not after everything Elise’s father had taken from me.Before the first man could react, I fired. The sound of the shot echoed in the confined space, the bullet finding its mark in the man’s chest. His body crumpled to the ground with a sickening thud, but the others didn’t hesitate. They moved in faster, their guns drawn, but I was ready.I ducked behind the desk, using it as cover

    Dawn came in silver slivers through the cracks in the window. I hadn’t slept—not really. My mind was too loud, looping the footage over and over like a broken reel.Leon sat across from me at the table, sipping his coffee like it was the only thing keeping him grounded. Neither of us had said much since the footage. We didn’t need to. The truth had cut so deep, it didn’t leave room for small talk.But I had questions.And I needed answers.“How long do you think he’s known I survived?” I finally asked, voice hoarse.Leon didn’t look away from his mug. “Long enough to start covering his tracks. But he didn’t expect the locket to resurface.”My hand instinctively reached for it. The locket was warm now, like it had absorbed my grief and fury. Inside was a picture of my mother and me—her arm around my tiny shoulders, her smile soft but tired. A photo I hadn’t even remembered until last night.“He killed her,” I whispered. “He killed my father. For what? A project?”“Not just a project,”
