You arranged the incident that led to his predicament,” a lady's voice surged from the crowd.My heart quickened. What proof was she talking about?I tried to ignore it, but the stunned gazes from my staff caught my attention, drilling into my heart.I turned toward the cameras. “I certainly don't have a hand whatsoever in his predicament. I just didn't like his closeness to my fiance, that's all,” I addressed, feeling increasingly drained inside.Hot sweat swirled on my forehead.“Then what about the phone calls? How do you explain them?” That same voice asked again.I narrowed my gaze into the crowd, trying to grasp the identity of this person attempting to ruin me, but I couldn't figure out who she was.The eagerness of the media personnel, the cameras all focusing on me, fighting to be the first to capture my react
James POV I flinched at her inquiry."She's just a friend from my past who wouldn't let go. She came over and seduced me. At that point, I didn't know what got over me," I replied, my gaze fixed on her."I'm so sorry. No amount of words could mend your broken heart or undo what I’ve done. Please, just find it in your heart to forgive me," I pleaded yet again."Why haven't you told me about her all these years?" she asked, her gaze locked on mine."That's because I thought I had successfully put her behind me, but I never knew she would come back," I replied defiantly.My gaze remained on her for a while before she looked away.I stayed crouched, lifting the parcel I had gotten for her."This isn't a bribe or a way of buying myself back into your heart; it's a gift of my love for you. It is boundless," I asserted, stretching the parcel toward her.She held her gaze on the gift for a while before looking away.My heart quickened. I just wanted her to forgive me. ‘I am so sorry,’ I mutt
Olivia's POV My hands were placed on my cheeks as I reflected about the encounters I had gone through at their hands.They asked for an immediate transfer once he was awake, and it hurt me deeply that they never appreciated my efforts. But I gave in to their demands.What hurt me most was the fact that he didn't recognize me or anyone else except his mom.It damn well hurts.I swallowed hard, my gaze fixed on the door as it creaked open, revealing Doctor Kaley.He had been on leave for a week, and the wait for his return had worn me down the most. He was one of the best in the neurosurgical field and had extensive knowledge when it came to his area of expertise.All research proved inadequate."Have a good day, ma’am," he greeted, and I reciprocate the gesture, motioning for him to sit."The patient from the previous surgery seems to be suffering from severe amnesia," I said as soon as he sat down.He smiled a little, then lifted his head to meet my gaze. "That’s what I meant by 'wor
Liam's POV Darkness!Everything became numb. No sign of life. The air around me thickened. I couldn't understand what was happening. Everything seemed faded.The noise around me increased. I tried to open my eyes, but they were so damn heavy.“What's happening?” I asked myself.My entire body felt numb; I could barely lift a finger. I tried, and just then, one finger moved. Then another. Finally, my palm.The noises around me grew louder, a slight surge of pain coursing from my head down to my toes.I tried to blink, to open my eyes, but my eyelids quivered. Then, I finally managed to open one eye. A sudden, consuming brightness nearly blinded me, forcing me to shut it quickly.It was too bright.Brighter than I could handle.I absorbed the light and slowly opened my eyes again, adjusting to the brightness.As my vision cleared, I took in my surroundings. A white ceiling stretched above me. My gaze drifted toward the source of the noise, but suddenly, everything fell silent.A woma
“Please, can you let me in?” His voice was soft and cold, its coolness almost sinking into my heart as always.I shook my head vigorously. “Get the heck out of this place now!” I barked yet again, moving over to my bed and collapsing onto it.His pleas, words, and excuses all drowned in my unconscious state. I pressed my hands against my ears, my head buried in the pillows…******Few days laterI slowly opened my eyes, my body weak beneath the duvet. I tried to lift myself, but I fell back hard against the bed.Three days, yet it hadn’t been easy letting go of the pain. It was too much. I hissed, rolling onto my side.I held my hands to my face, yawned, and glanced toward the window.Shocked, I snapped my head toward the clock, which hung perfectly on the nightstand.I gasped, forcing my body up despite the lingering weakness. Hurrying through my morning routine, I freshened up and soon found myself in the living room.“Cutie,” I called out. “Mum’s waiting for you,” I added, putting
My ears pressed against the door of the room, my heart racing as curiosity surged through me. I gasped, wondering who the hell was defiling such a large working atmosphere as this.The whimpers continued. Soft and wild groans filling the air.They broke through my resolve, unexpectedly filling me with bitterness.A desire to break through this door.As I pressed my ear closer, leaning against the door, my entire body froze. My hands clutched at my chest, and the heavy beats of my heart echoed in my ears.I reached up, covering my mouth with one hand to stifle my gasp.“What?” I screamed aloud, unable to hold back my words.I was certain, that was his voice when he spoke.“You’re enjoying it, right?”That voice couldn’t be mistaken. It was certainly his.I fought the compelling urge to run; to flee as fast as my legs could carry me. My instincts screamed at me, but I struggled against the storm of emotions swirling inside me, my heart aching with hurt and betrayal.Still, I remained ro
“Just let them be,” I cut her off halfway through her words, but she hesitated.“No, ma’am, I think these people need a more shocking revelation to consume their faces in shame,” she replied angrily, turning towards Liam’s family, who bore masked expressions of confusion.“Your son isn’t dead yet. Can you just let go of her legs?” she snapped, fixing her gaze on Liam’s mom.Her grip on my legs loosened, and my heart seethed.“Where is my son?” she cried out. I felt her pain, but what hurt more was the fact that they had tagged me as the evil one, blaming and threatening me.I shoved past without a word, completely engrossed in my rage.The earlier smiles and excitement in my heart as he fought through death were dissipating.They were all ungrateful and certainly didn’t think of anyone else’s feelings; only their own.I slammed the door of my office so hard that it made a loud sound, echoing throughout the entire room. My steps were loud and full of grievances as I took the seat next
Olivia's POV I hurried over immediately, my heart racing in defiant. The tension in my blood rising. My hands reached out to pull the white linen from his body.The nurses and the female doctor, still present in the room alongside me, quickly reconnected the oxygen, adjusted the tubes, and hooked up the IV drip.I reached for the probe to secure it properly. Everything happened in an instant. Everyone rushing around, making sure everything was in place, as if by some miracle, he had returned to life.He still lay motionless. The monitor beeped steadily. My stethoscope hung around my neck before I placed it against his chest, trying to determine if his heartbeat was returning.A tiny bead of sweat formed on my forehead. My heart clung to the miracle that was supposed to happen. The rhythmic beeping of the machine echoed through the room, yet a creeping unease settled within me. I held my device to my ear, alongside the other female doctor, but there was still no sign of a heartbeat; n
James POV Seated in the office, going through the files, my heart seethed with rage. The approved files from the directors were supposed to reach me, but I hadn't seen any up to this moment.Reaching for the office telephone, I pressed the secretary’s line and hit the send button. A few minutes later, a knock came at the door, which creaked open, revealing her in a black skirt and jacket, paired with a well-printed shirt that suited the office attire.My gaze fixed on her for a moment, silently demanding an answer. Being the oldest staff member, she knew too well how much I hated incompetence and lateness in any project that needed to be executed. The office should exude a business-minded consciousness, not lousiness.“Sir, I have reached out to the directors, and their report will soon get to you,” she spoke, her voice slightly trembling under my watchful gaze.My eyes turned sharp as daggers. I winced, shifting my gaze from her to the door, which had just creaked open, revealing th
Olivia's POV I felt a mix of excitement as I pulled open the door to the mansion, holding the brown envelope containing the results in my hands. “Honey, I’m…” I trailed off, my gaze meeting his angry expression, etched with frustration. “What’s the issue?” I inquired, the envelope slipping from my hand and landing on the couch as I walked up to him, placing my hands on his shoulders. “Take those filthy hands off me,” he barked, taking my hands forcefully off his shoulders. I winced in pain, clutching my wrist. “What have I done?” I asked, perplexed. I had just left the house to go to the hospital and confirm if I was truly pregnant. We shared a happy, beautiful moment together before I left. So why the sudden change? It was unlike him. “I want a divorce,” he snapped. His words making my feet to tremble, and I paused to regain my composure, taking a deep breath. “What did you say?” I asked, not sure if I had heard him correctly, those words weren't adding up. “Are you d...
