I pushed the door open cautiously, careful not to make a sound. The room was bathed in the dim light of the bedside lamp, its glow softening the edges of everything it touched. My gaze instantly fell on Mila, lying peacefully on the bed, her face relaxed, lost in sleep.

For a moment, I just stood there, frozen, almost afraid to take another step. She looked so serene, so vulnerable. The woman who had unwittingly turned my world upside down, who didnā€™t even know who she truly wasā€”or who I wasā€”was right there, within reach.

My eyes swept across the room, searching for any sign of Sally. When I was certain she wasnā€™t here, a strange relief settled over me. It wasnā€™t that I disliked her presence, but right now, I wanted this moment to myself, this quiet, stolen moment with Mila.

    Mila's POVA voice called my name, soft at first, almost blending with my dreams. I tried to ignore it, turning over to sink back into the comforting void of sleep. But the voice came again, clearer this time, and unmistakably familiar. Slowly, I opened my eyes, blinking against the soft light.Arine stood before me, his gaze steady and focused .Behind him stood a man whose presence made me pause, unfamiliar at first glance. Yet, as I looked at him more closely , there was a strange pull in the back of my mind as if I had seen him before but I couldnā€™t place where or when.ā€œMila,ā€ Arine said gently, breaking through my thoughts. ā€œYou should eat something. The nurse said itā€™s important for your recovery. Maybe take a short walk afterward to stretch your legs.ā€I blinked at him and nodded, still distracted, as the man stepped forward. He carried a small foldable table and carefully placed it over my lap. His movements were deliberate, almost too familiar, as if heā€™d done this for me bef

Her voice was calm, steady, but every word she spoke carried a weight I couldnā€™t ignore.ā€œMila, your condition is stable for now,ā€ she said, pausing to make sure I was paying attention. ā€œBut we need to be cautious. Without proper care, complications could arise in the future.ā€I swallowed hard, my hand instinctively resting on my stomach.ā€œWhat do you mean?

    AUTHOR'S POV The room was bathed in soft golden light as the evening sun filtered through the curtains. Mila sat at her desk, her laptop open and her sketchpad spread out in front of her. Sheā€™d been working on a set of designs from her last project, trying to refine them. At first, sheā€™d only planned to make minor adjustments, but the ideas in her mind wouldnā€™t stop flowing. One concept led to another, and before she knew it, she was sketching new details with an energy she hadnā€™t felt in months.Hours passed in a blur of pencil strokes and clicks of the mouse. Her desk was now cluttered with rough drafts and reference photos, but Mila didnā€™t mind. There was a sense of satisfaction in the chaos. When she finally leaned back in her chair and surveyed her work, a smile crept onto her lips. The designs had taken shape beautifully, blending creativity with practicality. It felt like a small triumphā€”a reminder that she was still capable of doing what she loved.Satisfied, Mila glanced at

Maybe Sally had left a note, something to explain her absence.Mila pushed open the door, the soft creak of the hinges breaking the stillness. Sallyā€™s room was neat, almost too neat, as though it had been untouched for days. Milaā€™s gaze swept over the dresser, the desk, and the bed, searching for any clue. She pulled open drawers, checked the bedside table, even glanced under the bedā€”but nothing. Not a note, not a hint of where Sally could be.She sighed, brushing a stray strand of hair from he
