JENNA POV

It's been three hours since I woke and Keith wasn't back from wherever it was that he went. Did he get mad when the doctor revealed the truth to him?

I get that he was supposed to hear it from me but did he really have to leave me here?

I adjusted in bed and was immediately punished with the pain from my bandaged arm when I dared to forget about it.

I heard the door open and turned instantly but it wasn't Keith. Just a nurse with a tray of food.

She gave me a soft smile as she set the tray on the small table beside my bed. "How are you feeling, Mrs. Clementine?" she asked, her tone filled with genuine concern.

I managed a weak smile. "I've been better," I replied, echoing my earlier sentiment. The pain in my arm was a reminder of how close I'd come to losing everything.

The nurse nodded sympathetically. "Try to eat something. It'll help with your recovery." She lifted the lid, revealing a bowl of soup, some bread, and a cup of juice.

I stared at the food, my appetite nowhere

    Keith's grip tightened a fraction, a shadow passing over his face. He hesitated before speaking, his voice tinged with guilt."I went to find him, Jenna. The man who did this to you," he confessed, his tone low and intense.A shiver ran through me. "Did you find him?"Keith looked away, his jaw clenched. "No," he answered simply.I reached up to touch his face, my fingers brushing against the stubble on his cheek. "Keith, I understand why you want to do this, but we need you here. I need you here."He nodded. "From now on, my focus is on you and our baby. We'll let the police handle the rest."Relief washed over me, and I felt a weight lift from my chest. "Thank you," I whispered, my voice breaking. "That's all I wanted to hear."***Keith spent the rest of the morning with me, our hands intertwined as we talked about random things. Keith's phone buzzed a few times, but he ignored it, choosing to stay by my side. Eventually, I convinced him to go home and get some rest. Reluctantly, h

    WRITER POVSCENE: THE HUNTER’S ESTATEThe sun began its descent, casting a golden hue over the meticulously manicured lawns of the grand estate. A sprawling mansion stands at the centre of this lush expanse, its elegant architecture a testament to wealth and refinement. The air is still, save for the distant chirping of birds and the occasional rustle of leaves in the gentle breeze. Gentle... Yes. That was until the loud sound of a bullet erupted, forcing the birds out of their homes to flee somewhere safe.At the edge of the property, a man clad in hunting attire, his perfect physique and muscles fighting against the fabric that covered him, lowered his gun and looked into the distance in wait.His name?Leonard Whitaker, a distinguished figure in his late thirties, with silver hair that complements his sharp, commanding features. His eyes, a piercing blue, reflect both intelligence and a certain steely gaze sure to still your breath away.Leonard placed the finely crafted hunti

    SARAH POV It's pathetic really. How I started as someone who thought she had hit the jackpot. Only for the stepsister to hop in and take everything good in the end.I don't know if I should feel like Cinderella or the evil stepsisters but I can feel the pain of hitting rock bottom right now.Will I be stuck here, a divorcee, still single, and working for the husband of my stepsister and my stepsister herself, she's out there getting the best out of life. I hate my life.Where did I go wrong? How was I to know that this Keith would make me a happy wife if I had gone through with the engagement? That's not what the rumours said. This isn't fair. I was lied to. I could have been in Jenna's position right now. I thought she'd suffer. I thought I made the right choice marrying Raphael back then but it wasn't.I slammed my palm on my desk and groaned out loud in frustration.

    "Or what?" I challenged, my voice shaking. "What are you going to do?"Yilena took a deep breath, her eyes filled with disdain and determination. "Or I'll make sure you regret every single word you've said to me today. You're nothing but a spiteful, envious woman who can't stand to see others happy. Do you think you're the only one suffering? You have no idea."I laughed bitterly, "And you do? Just because you're still pining over a man who doesn't love you? At least I moved on, tried to make something of myself.""Moved on? By trying to drag others down with you?" Yilena shook her head. "You're pathetic, Sarah. Maybe we were alike once, but not anymore. I came here today to apologize, and to make things right. But you... you're still stuck in your misery."I wanted to retort, to scream at her, but the words caught in my throat. Maybe she was right. Maybe I was stuck. But admitting that would mean facing my failures, and my regrets, and I wasn't ready for that.Yilena turned her back

    YILENA POVI stood on the doorstep of Keith and Jenna's home, my heart pounding in my chest.The sprawling estate loomed before me, the life I had once dreamed of having with Keith but never achieved. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for what I had to do. It wasn’t Jenna’s fault, I reminded myself. It wasn’t anyone’s fault but my own for holding onto this bitterness and longing for an unreachable love for so long.I rang the doorbell. Moments later, the door swung open, and Keith stood there, his expression immediately darkening at the sight of me."Yilena," he said flatly, his eyes narrowing. "What are you doing here?"I swallowed hard, my mouth suddenly dry. "Keith, I... I need to talk to you and Jenna. Please, I must get this off my chest"Keith's frown deepened, and he started to close the door. "I don’t think that’s a good idea.""Wait!" I cried, desperation creeping into my voice. I had to set things right. I should at least not turn into their enemy. "Please, Keith. I jus

    RICHARD POVThe hum of jet engines filled the air as my sleek, black Gulfstream G650 touched down on the private runway. As the door opened, I descended the steps with a confident stride, my tailored suit pristine and my dark hair perfectly in place. My eyes, sharp and calculating, took in my surroundings as I stepped onto the tarmac. I adjusted my cufflinks, a small but habitual gesture of mine.The terminal was bustling with activity, a mixture of the ultra-wealthy, their assistants, and a few paparazzi hoping for a shot of a celebrity or two. I glanced at my watch, mentally ticking off the seconds before my meeting. But just as I was halfway out of the airport, my phone buzzed in my pocket. Distracted, I reached for it, barely noticing the approaching blur of motion until it was too late.A collision.A flurry of blonde hair.A thud.I stumbled back a step, regaining my balance quickly. It was at moments like these, I wished I had the strength of my close friend. He wouldn't have

    "There was this woman at the airport. We collided. She was... captivating. Cute... But feisty." I said, unable to keep the surprise out of my voice.Keith laughed, a deep, hearty sound that echoed in the now-empty boardroom. "A woman? That's what threw you off?""Yeah, yeah. Laugh it up. But she was different, Keith. There was something about her," I said, almost defensively.Keith's smile turned more thoughtful. "Well, whatever it is, you handled the meeting well despite the distraction. How about we celebrate tonight? Like old times?""Celebrate?" I echoed, a little taken aback by the suggestion."Yeah. There's a new club downtown. Exclusive, high-end. Perfect for unwinding after a day like this. What do you say?" Keith's eyes sparkled with mischief and camaraderie.I hesitated for a moment, the image of the blonde woman still lingering in my mind. But the idea of a night out with Keith, like we used to, was tempting. "Alright, let's do it. It'll be good to blow off some steam," I a

    The stranger's grip tightened painfully around my wrist, his face contorted with anger as his eyes looked at me with belittlement. I hated men like him. Before he could say or do anything further, I saw movement out of the corner of my eye.In a swift, fluid motion, I caught the stranger's free hand mid-air as he tried to strike me, twisting his arm behind his back which made him let go of my other hand I lifted him off his feet and with a powerful move, slammed the man to the ground, sending a shockwave through the crowd that had gathered around us.The stranger gasped, looking up at his attacker with a mix of fear and rage. But before he could retaliate, I raised my fists, my gaze drunk but blazing with fury. The stranger, recognizing the danger he was in, swore loudly and scrambled to his feet, fleeing the scene as quickly as his legs would carry him."Fucker didn't stay long enough to cool me down." I cursed and took my drink from the counter, finishing it up before placing th

I stepped out of the car and waited, leaning back on the car booth.I could feel Lorah's movement in the booth and it was so tempting to pull her out and finish her off but I waited patiently for Leonard to show up first.My eyes scanned the surroundings. Every shadow was a potential threat.Finally, headlights cut through the darkness, and a sleek black car pulled into the alley. Leonard stepped out, his face a mask of confidence and arrogance. Leonard smiled when his eyes landed on me and I gritted my teeth. My arms which were folded together, tightened.He thought he was in control, that he had the upper hand. Little did he know, tonight would be his last."Keith," he greeted, his voice smooth and composed. "Where's my wife?"I scoffed, pushing off from the car, "Did you come because you loved her, or just to get rid of a witness?"Leonard's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean, Keith? Of course I love my wife. Where

    KEITH POVI never knew Laura had a twin sister with the name Lorah. I never thought that the twin would hate me so much that she'd plot with Leonard to kill me herself."Why?" I asked, although I didn't really care. I doubt her reason would save her from what I had in store for her."Why?" she chuckled, "because you hurt me Keith. You chose my sister over me even if I was the one you saw first. Love at first sight? Pfft! You fucking married the wrong twin!" Lorah spat.I squatted to her level on the ground, staring into her eyes with mine as empty as I felt, "I'm glad I married your twin. I'd never love someone as evil as you.""Evil? Keith, you are evil itself!" Lorah screamed in my face and I took out a handkerchief from my pocket to wipe my face before standing up straight.I turned away from her before speaking orders to Cecilia, "tie her up and throw her into the booth of my car."Cecilia nodded without hesitation, grabbing Lorah by the arms and dragging her out of the room.

    LAURA POVI couldn't have been more happier when the news of Jenna's death reached me. Sadly, I had to pretend to be sad about it to everyone but now that I'm alone in my room, I can finally smile at least.My phone buzzed in the pocket of my Jeans and I scanned around, shutting my bedroom door afterwards, before finally picking up.It was a call from my sweet husband Leonard, the man for whom I've gone this far in this scheme."My love." he started and I blushed, "I heard the news of her death. How is he taking it?"A smirk played on my lips as I responded, "very badly."I could imagine the grin on his face right now."Very good. That means that at this point, his guard will be let down. Do you still have the poisoned blade I gifted you?" Leonard asked.I took out a small key from my pocket and unlocked the bottom drawer next to my bed, taking out a dagger after I opened it."Yes," I answered, ready to take his orders.It's funny how they believe my husband will be the one to kill Ke

    KEITH POV"Doctor, will he be fine?""He will. He just fainted from too much stress, lack of food for possibly the last four days, and overthinking as well. He needs to take it easy or who knows what might happen.""Alright, doctor.""Make sure you keep a close eye on him. Force him to take the medicines if you have to. His health depends on it, Mr Richard.""I'll make sure he recovers." Richard's voice echoed in my head with other voices mixing in all of a sudden, "thank you for your help."I squeezed my eyes shut when I was almost blinded by the light in the room."Where the fuck am I?" I asked, not sure if Richard was still in the room or not.I sat up and after a few seconds, my eyes opened, adjusting to the light.I was in a small, sterile hospital room. The sterile smell of antiseptic filled the air. Richard came closer and sat on a chair beside my bed, his face etched with worry."You're awake," he said, relief evident in his voice as he leaned forward. "How do you feel?""Like

    KEITH POVI pushed back harder, my desperation turning into raw fury. "I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what I need to know!" I shouted, my voice breaking.Two officers grabbed my arms, trying to drag me away, but I fought back, wrenching myself free and shoving one of them. My vision blurred with rage and fear. I swung wildly, my fist connecting with an officer’s jaw. The commotion drew more attention, and I could hear the murmurs of the crowd growing louder."Tell me! What was the victim's name?!" I yelled at the officer whose eyes filled with fear as I stared into his eyes with anger.He didn't speak until I raised my fist to Puch him."We don't know the victim's name! Just her face from CCTV footage!" the officer yelled, shielding his face.My eyebrows, once furrowed, now relaxed while my raised fist weakened, "the news said..." my voice trailed off."It's just one victim. We don't plan on meeting any family member or investigating the woman!" he confessed."What?!" I exc

    KEITH POVI drove around aimlessly, trying to think of where Jenna could have gone. My mind was a storm of anxiety and regret. How had things spiraled so far out of control? Eventually, I parked the car in a quiet spot and pulled out my phone. I had to try calling her again, even if she wouldn't answer. My fingers trembled as I dialed her number, praying she would pick up. The phone rang and rang, but there was no answer.Frustrated and helpless, I decided to call Richard. He answered on the second ring."Keith? Did you find her?""No," I replied, my voice strained. "She left the hospital. Do you have any idea where she might go?"Richard was silent for a moment. "Not at all, Keith. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if she returns on her own.""Wait and see?" I snapped. "We can't just sit around while she's out there suffering.""Keith, calm down," Richard urged. "I understand you're worried, but we need to think logically. She might need some space right now."I knew he was ri

    KEITH POVRichard's eyes darted nervously before he tried to muster a calm facade. "I wasn't hiding, just trying to get a better signal," he replied, his voice shaky and unconvincing.My grip on his shoulder tightened. "Don't lie to me, Richard. Who were you talking to?" My voice was low, menacing.He swallowed hard, clearly struggling to maintain his composure. "It was a private call, Keith. I swear it has nothing to do with Jenna."I leaned in closer, my face inches from his. "Do you really think I'm in the mood for games? Tell me the truth, or you'll regret it even as my friend."Richard's eyes widened with fear. He glanced around, as if searching for an escape, but there was none. Finally, he sighed, his shoulders slumping in defeat. "Keith, I'm not sure how you will take this news...""Spill it."Richard sighed deep, "Jenna... had a miscarriage at a nearby hospital just now."The world seemed to freeze around me, Richard’s words echoing in my mind like a cruel, relentless chant.

    YILENA POVWe quickly boarded the second plane, my heart pounding with a mixture of fear and determination. Richard took the pilot's seat, while I settled into the back, preparing the parachutes and planting Jenna's dress in the plane. Everything had to look convincing.The engine roared to life, and as we taxied down the runway, I glanced out the window, hoping our plan would succeed. Richard's voice came over the intercom, tense but controlled. "We're about to take off. Ready?""Ready," I replied, my voice steady despite the adrenaline coursing through me.The plane lifted off the ground, and as we climbed higher, I double-checked the parachutes and ensured everything was in place. Richard began the distress signal after five minutes in the air, his voice urgent and convincing as he reported engine failure and a possible crash landing."We're approaching the designated area," he said over the intercom.
