Henry leaned back on the chair, a lazy smirk playing on his lips as he listened carefully to everything Adams was saying through the device. "He's finally awake huh?" he chuckled under his breath, shaking his head slightly. It was almost amusing how predictable things were becoming. Still half-lis
Darvan’s body tensed. The basement. He knew what that meant. Before he could resist, the men grabbed him roughly by the arms and started dragging him backward. He struggled, kicking and twisting, but they were stronger this time and ready for him. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Mrs. Sinclai
The sound of Mrs. Sinclair's heels echoed as she began descending the narrow stairs slowly, step by step. Darvan said nothing. He simply stood there, fists clenched at his sides, his breathing steady. Mrs. Sinclair finally reached the basement floor. Behind her, one of the men carried down a smal
Stacy slowly sank into the couch, the wrinkled letter still in her hand. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t stop thinking about it. Who sent it? And how did they know she was getting out of the hospital today? Worst of all, how did they get into her house? Her heart pounded as she picture
After leaving the Sinclair estate, Darvan went straight to Justin’s place. He didn’t bother turning his phone back on as he arrived. His steps were slow and heavy, but he managed to reach the door. Fredrick was the first to see him. “Darvan?” he called out, immediately noticing how rough and exhau
Cassia hurried into the hospital, her heart racing faster than her footsteps. As soon as she entered, she saw Justin and Fredrick waiting outside a ward, looking like they hadn’t slept all night. "You’re here. Thank goodness," Justin said with clear relief, walking toward her. Cassia raised a
Darvan slowly opened his eyes, blinking against the light. The first thing he noticed was his friends sitting by his side, their faces filled with relief. “You’re awake,” Fredrick said softly. Darvan sat up slowly, wincing at the slight ache in his body. He looked around in confusion. How did he e
Stacy inhaled deeply as she slowly ate her breakfast, each bite losing its taste. Her mind drifted, unable to focus on the food before her. First, she thought of Darvan. Then her thoughts shifted to Cassia; the woman who somehow always stood in her way no matter how hard she tried to erase her pres
Henry stood upright, towering over Cassia. His hand reached down and snatched her phone from the floor where it had fallen. He looked at the screen, the corners of his lips lifting into a dark smirk. Cassia's heartbeat quickened. That was her chance...he was distracted. Without thinking twice, she
Cassia stayed at the hospital until nightfall. She couldn’t leave at first. Even after hearing the surgery was successful, her legs refused to move. "He’s going to be fine." the doctor had finally said. "The surgery was a success. He’s stable now." Those words should have brought her some peace,
Henry stepped out of his apartment, slipping on his hoodie and adjusting the cap that covered part of his face. He had one goal now; to watch Cassia. She didn’t know anything yet, at least not fully, but Henry could feel that the truth will be revealed soon enough. And when it came out, everything w
"Fuck!" The sharp sound of Fredrick’s scream jolted Cassia awake instantly, her heart racing as she sat up. She looked around, confused at first. The room was unfamiliar but had a scent she knew too well...Darvan’s. The faint mix of his cologne and clean sheets made her pause. "Why am I here?" she
Soon after the explosion, the sound of wailing sirens filled the area. The smoke rose thick into the sky, darkening the morning sun. Curious bystanders gathered from nearby shops and buildings, whispering and taking videos on their phones. Paramedics arrived quickly, their faces tight with focus. T
Once the dishes were done, they stepped out of the kitchen, still joking and chatting, only to find Cassia curled up on the couch, fast asleep. "That looks uncomfortable," Justin whispered, but Darvan was already ahead of him. Without a word, Darvan walked over and gently scooped Cassia into his a
