“Do you really still have to go?” Aunt Lou asked for the nth time as I make my out her house.

As soon as she told me about what happened to grandma, I immediately rush to get ready so that I could go and check on grandma. Aunt Lou was kind enough to inform me where Grandma was rushed today.

“Aunt Lou, Grandma is different from all of them. She has been very good to me throughout my stay there.” I turned around to explain.

And yet, the way that Aunt Lou looked at me says that she was not realy convinced. “If that is the case, then why didn’t she believed you?”

Of course, Aunt Lou has a point. If my statement was truly factual, then grandma would have believed me first more than those framed up things that ruined my name towards the Montefalco’s.

Suddenly, it made recall grandma during that night when I gave her those cookies she so longed to have. It reminded her of her late husband who worked so hard to become successful.

    Panic instantly coursed through my entire body. Regina was still trying to check on her phone about some messages that she seemed stressed to respond that she didn’t seem to bother that the elevator had already opened. Before she could even lift her head up and see me, I don’t even know why but a mysterious hand rapidly pulled me to the side and saved me from getting caught.My eyes followed Regina’s movement until she headed her way out of the lobby’s entrance.Following that, my eyes quickly turn to the side and found no other than Aunt Lou’s secretary Janine.“Good gracious, Janine. You scared me, but you know what, thank you for saving me back there.” I immediately told her after puffing out the excess air out of my lungs. I was relieved, really. Knowing that my encounter with Regina was too closer for her to finding out that I was actually here. “I saw you stammering before the elevator like you’re not on your senses. I knew I had to make some actions.” Janine immediately ex

    “You want me to disguise as a nurse?” I promptly said soon after Aunt Lou handed over the uniform she borrowed from an outgoing nurse.“Didn’t you say you wanted to see your grandmother-in-law?” Aunt Lou brought up what I intentionally came here for.And for some reason, I actually didn’t expect that she would eventually say that to me.“Aunt Lou, what if I get caught?” my worries left me extending my hand to give the uniform back to her as if I was indicating that I didn’t want to pursue with her plan. I was afraid to risk getting caught.Had I not been pregnant, perhaps, I might have considered this option so that i could sneak my way in just to see grandma. However, knowing how strict the security was around Grandma’s room right now, I couldn’t simply risk getting caught and be thrown out away by force again.I had suffered more than enough to get miscarriage, but I suppose, life has just blessed me to have this child inside me holding on despite all those hurdles I’ve faced.

    My Aunt Lou grins at me with a satisfied remark flashing across her face. I knew that she liked my decision even though I knew that it would be risky.“So, are you insinuating that since Justin and my mother-in-law left they wouldn’t return right away?” I suddenly asked since I wanted to be sure that what I was doing would be the right thing.“Actually, this video clip was taken earlier today. Meaning since arrived here quite noon already, you should know that we are no longer certain if your husband and mother-in-law were still outside or if they manage to get back right away.”And that was when it eventually registered inside my head that indeed, Aunt Lou could be right. Another thing was that I saw Regina earlier coming out towards the hospital entrance as she continued to tinker on her phone and completely ignore the whole world around her.She should just be glad that I didn’t even bother tripping her foot so that she could fall. Eventually the fear of getting caught because of h

    Aunt Lou asked the young resident doctor, Dr. Kanishk to help me with my plan to see Grandma. I had one earplug attached to my right ear that I just hope they wouldn’t notice. I was afraid that this would make some impact on my plans to see grandma. “You’ll be fine. Just relax.” Aunt Lou promptly told me as though she had sensed the nervousness I was having since this plan had be raised by her. It wasn’t that I was actually blaming my aunt for this, however, I was really hopeful that there could have been another way.But with the circumstance being too complicated, it was too impossible for me to really accomplish wanting to see grandma up close without going through the conflict of facing my in-laws.“We’ve already the surveillance and it would appear that neither of your mother-in-law or your damn husband is inside. It would seem that they really left things with an unfamiliar woman. I really haven’t met her before.” Aunt Lou informed me of the details and I was sure she was refe

    Tears has fallen into my eyes the instant I saw her in that state. My head shook in disbelief as I covered half my face with my two palms clasped together.“Come closer and have a better look,” Dr. Kanishk went closer to me again as she escorted me towards grandma.I suppose she sensed that I don’t have the courage to come closer. It felt like each step I take drawing myself near to were Grandma was, just simply squeeze my chest and caused me to become pressured and unable to breathe fairly.Perhaps it was because I really didn’t want to see grandma in this state which was why, I mean who would want someone to see their loved ones being in this state when you know that their lives were seemingly dependent on the machine.“Dr. Kanishk, is my grandma fully depending on the machine now?” I said fully forgetting that I was not allowed to talk and just act like a nurse.However, Dr. Kanishk simply answered, “No not really.

    Terrified.That was exactly what I felt at the moment.I couldn’t even make a single sound as his other hand covered my entire mouth. Even the freedom to move was deprived of me since his free hand had both my hands held above my head.I was still pinned against the cold walls of the dark suite room and I could barely make out his face. The strong scent of his masculine perfume intoxicates me, making me understand how close his face was against me,“Who sent you?” He snarled, and I felt him press his mouth beside my ear as he continued, “Who dared to summon you to your death?” he whispered above his breath while doing it against my left cheek.I knew it was a mistake that I freely entered this suite room without even asking if it’s even occupied. However, I was exactly at the point of moment where I don’t even have that much time to do that.The possibility of getting caught by my mother-in-law was giving me the chills. I didn’t want us to get caught because not only I would be in tro

    “That’s why I am asking for your consideration since I can’t lift you up.” I told him, while trying to contain the annoyance I have for him.Yet, despite in his dizzy state, I just couldn’t believe that he was still capable of making me feel annoyed at him. “Hey nurse, I don’t know if it was only because I was feeling dizzy but you know, I actually find you attractive or maybe it was the melatonin.” he eventually said that caused my temple to crease.“Melatonin?” I asked as I remember that that was like a sleeping pill or something.“Yeah. I asked that so that I could sleep but you broke my sleep, nurse. Good job.” Now he even blame me for his deprived sleep. Although I quite feel guilty about it since I entered his suite room without any permission. Of course, he has all the rights to blame me.“Sor—” I was about to ask for an apology when I realize that I was still disguised as nurse. Of course I couldn’t possibly apologize for entering his suite. It would only be natural for me t

    My hand rapidly flew outward which I believe must have been my reflexes as soon as I struggled to get away from him. There was an awkward sound of our lips parting after I successfully distanced my face from his.“You’re sick! Why did you do that?” I instantly yelled at him, completely forgetting the fact that my mother-in-law could possibly hear me from this point.I just couldn’t simply let this pass. He was a complete stranger who just randomly kissed me. I could easily file a case against him for harassing me.“You appeared like you wanted to taste my lips. I may be in delirium but I have a good sense you were staring at them for damn good seconds I barely even count how long.” He even teased which rapidly infuriated me that I felt I had to distance myself away from him at a much further space.“I didn’t ask for you to kiss me, you damn idiot!” I retort back, refusing to accept his claim that I want him to kiss me. There wasn’t even any truth to his claim that I was staring at his

    The room felt heavier now, as if the ghosts of the past had never truly left. My father’s study had once been a place of quiet authority, filled with the scent of polished wood and old books. Now, it was chaos—a graveyard of secrets waiting to be unearthed.Leon and Dorian moved swiftly, sifting through papers, searching for anything that might explain my father’s connection to Elise’s father. But my hands trembled as I flipped through the documents.My father’s handwriting stared back at me in sharp, deliberate strokes.Project Haven—Initiated 20 years agoI frowned. “Project Haven?”Leon peered over my shoulder. “That name mean anything to you?”I shook my head, but something about it felt... familiar. Like a memory I had brushed against in passing but never grasped fully.Dorian pulled a dust-covered filing box from beneath the desk. “We’ve got more.” He popped the latch and revealed stacks of old documents, some stamped with red ink.CONFIDENTIAL.I swallowed hard as I pulled out

    The weight of the locket in my palm was heavier than I remembered. The last time I had seen it, I was a child—too young to understand the depth of what had been stolen from me. And now, years later, it had resurfaced in the hands of a man who had every reason to use it against me.Leon’s grip on my knees tightened. “We need to figure out why he has this.”I nodded, but my thoughts were elsewhere, tangled in memories I had buried long ago. My parents. Their deaths. The accident—or what I had been told was an accident.I took a shaky breath. “This locket... it was my mother’s. She gave it to me the day before she died.” My voice wavered. “When they found me after the accident, it was gone.”Leon’s eyes darkened. “Someone took it.”“Not just someone,” I whispered. “Elise’s father.”Dorian entered the room, his usual calm demeanor slightly frayed. “I just got word. Elise’s father left town hours ago. Whatever game he’s playing, he planned this move in advance.”Leon cursed under his breat

    The moment we arrived at Leon’s safe house, a heavy silence settled between us. The tension in the air was suffocating, thick with unspoken fears and the weight of what we had just learned. Alexa was gone. And Elise's father—the man who had been a phantom in the shadows of our problems—had finally made his move.I paced the length of the dimly lit living room, arms crossed over my chest. My mind raced, trying to piece together the possibilities of where Alexa could be and what they might be doing to her. Dorian stood near the window, his sharp eyes scanning the darkness beyond, while Leon leaned against the wall, his jaw locked tight.“We need to move,” I said, breaking the silence. My voice came out steadier than I expected, but my hands were trembling. “Every second we waste, Alexa could be—” I cut myself off before finishing the thought. I refused to let fear paralyze me.Leon pushed off the wall, his expression unreadable. “Dorian already has our people searching the perimeter of

    The city swallowed us whole the moment we stepped out of the car. Anacortes was the same—steel and stone, sharp edges and dark alleys—but I felt it in my bones. Something had changed. Or maybe it was just me.I wasn’t the same woman who had left this place behind. I wasn’t the same woman who had fallen in love in this city, built a life here, and thought she could outrun the ghosts waiting in the shadows. I had returned, but not as a victim. Not as the woman Elise’s father had once underestimated. No, this time, I was ready for war.Leon moved beside me, his presence solid, his energy coiled like a predator waiting to strike. He was on edge too. We all were.“Dorian.” Leon’s voice was low, sharp. “What do we know about Elise’s father’s movements?”Dorian’s fingers danced over his phone screen, his brow furrowing. “He’s been careful, but not careful enough. There’s been an increase in high-profile meetings in the city—business moguls, politicians, even a few well-dressed criminals. He’

    The moment we stepped into the house, I could feel the tension in the air. Every shadow felt like a threat, every silence too loud. Leon locked the door behind us, and Dorian immediately pulled the curtains shut, moving with a precision that told me he’d done this before. I was no stranger to fear, but tonight, it pressed against my skin like a second layer.Elise’s father was behind this. I could feel it in my bones. And that terrified me more than anything.Leon paced near the fireplace, his face locked in a storm of controlled fury. Dorian sat at the table, his fingers moving across the keyboard of his laptop, eyes scanning for any digital trace of Alexa. I stood in the center of the room, my mind spinning with a thousand possibilities.“She’s out there somewhere,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “And we’re running out of time.”Leon exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair. “We need to figure out what Elise’s father wants. What’s his endgame?”Dorian didn’t look u

    The moment we stepped into the safe house, the air felt different. Heavy. Charged with something unspoken but undeniable. The low hum of tension sat thick between us, each of us knowing that Alexa’s disappearance wasn’t a coincidence. It was a move—a calculated strike from Victor Langford, a man whose power was as dangerous as his reach.I couldn’t stop my hands from trembling as I reached for the envelope Leon had just read aloud. You should have stayed away. The words were scrawled in sharp, deliberate handwriting. I imagined Victor writing them with a smirk, knowing exactly what this message would do to us.Leon exhaled sharply, crushing the paper in his fist. “We need to move fast.”Dorian nodded. “I’ll put our guys on the streets. If they moved Alexa within city limits, someone saw something.”I swallowed, forcing my voice to steady. “We can’t just wait for information. We need to hit back.”Leon’s gaze snapped to mine, a flicker of something unreadable in his expression. “What a

    The night felt heavier than before, the air thick with unspoken tension as we pieced together what Elise’s father’s return truly meant. My mind raced through the implications—if he had found her, it meant he wasn’t working alone. It meant he had resources, people willing to do his bidding, and most of all, it meant we weren’t prepared for what was coming.Elise hadn’t moved from her place on the couch, her fingers white-knuckling the phone. She wasn’t the same woman I had met before—there was something fragile about her now, something shattered. I understood that feeling far too well.Leon and Dorian were standing near the kitchen island, speaking in hushed voices, but I caught fragments of their conversation.“We need to move her somewhere else,” Dorian said, arms crossed. “If he got to her once, he can do it again.”Leon ran a hand through his hair, his jaw tight. “Moving her won’t change anything if he has the means to track her.”“Then what do you suggest? We wait for him to knock

    The tension still lingered, like static in the air, even after we had ensured Elise’s safety and returned to the penthouse. The night had been long, exhausting, and I was running on nothing but adrenaline and borrowed time.Leon stood at the kitchen counter, pouring himself a glass of whiskey. The amber liquid swirled in the crystal tumbler as he took a slow sip, his eyes trained on me. He didn’t have to say anything—I could feel the weight of his gaze."You’re shaking," he murmured.I exhaled sharply, glancing down at my hands. He was right. I hadn’t even realized it.Leon set his glass down and crossed the space between us in two strides. His hands, warm and steady, caught mine, stilling them. "Come here."I let him pull me into his arms, the exhaustion catching up to me all at once. I buried my face against his chest, breathing him in—woodsy cologne, something faintly smoky, something undeniably him."You always act like you have to carry the weight of everything on your own," he m

    The air in the penthouse was heavy with unspoken tension. I sat at the desk, eyes scanning through the files, absorbing the weight of what we had in our hands. The evidence was undeniable. Justin and Elise’s father had left a trail of financial crimes, bribes, and illegal dealings that could tear their empire apart. The question was—how did we move forward without tipping them off too soon?Leon stood behind me, his presence strong and reassuring. His hand was still on my shoulder, grounding me in the moment. "We need to be careful with this," he murmured.I nodded. "I know. We have to strike at the right moment."Dorian, now lounging on the couch, exhaled loudly. "I hate waiting. Feels like we should be doing something more than just sitting on this.""Patience is key," Leon countered. "If we rush, we lose the advantage."Dorian rolled his eyes but didn’t argue. I closed my laptop and stretched, the weight of the day settling deep into my bones. "I need a break."Leon caught my hand
