Elijah aka Adonis pov:

As soon as Evelyne saw me, I could see both relief and worry on her face.

Relief that I was finally found but worry because I must be looking like I had been through a battle. A few minutes back when my gaze accidentally fell on a mirror, I found my face all red and swollen, and my once white shirt was now drenched in blood.

So, she had been looking for me? Oh, God!

She had been looking for me? She cared about me?

I was just a few feet away from the blast location but the moment I heard it, I knew what had happened. I had reached the hospital after helping the victims.

As soon as she saw me… the way she lunged at me….

I felt a lump in my throat as I realized the severity of her emotions. She was clutching me tightly and all I could see was her shaking shoulders due to her sobs.

She was crying! She was crying for ME!

The woman in my arms who managed to take away my heart within a few minutes we met, was right there in my embrace.

I struggled to find my voice as

    Evelyne’s pov: (One Year Later) “Just shut up and tell me how do I look,” I rolled my eyes at my giggling friends who were busy teasing me about the hickey Adonis left on my neck. “You girls are impossible,” I complained, “Here your friend is trying wedding gowns and all you two seem to discuss is a damn hickey? Tsk!” I clicked my tongue inside my cheek and tried to fix my gown around my heavy boo*bs. “Ok,” Ashley placed the coffee cup down on the nearby coffee desk and stood up, “You look gorgeous, love.” I frowned at her in the mirror trying to assess her face if she was serious this time. Today, I was here to finalize a wedding gown. And yes. I also made the mistake to bring my friends. “It’s not a joke. I swear.” Aniya came behind me and leaned her chin on my shoulder, “You look lovely.” She said looking into my eyes through the mirror. “Let’s complete the look with this veil,” Ashley walked to me and placed the white net piece on my head. “Hmm,” she leaned her chin on my o

    Evelyne pov: It was all the same. The same fogginess around me. I was standing at the same place where no one was around. The same place, I used to see in my dreams. It was my school’s football ground again. I could hardly see through the fog and kept turning around with no idea where should I start walking. I did have this idea that it was the same dream, and he will reach out to me, to take me out of there. As expected, the fog started thinning magically. The bleachers surrounding the field were now more visible. Suddenly, a familiar voice echoed through the light fog, gradually becoming louder and clearer. It was a voice I could recognize anywhere. I knew who it belonged to. It was calling out my name, and I felt a sense of urgency in its tone. As always. I was waiting for him. I turned towards the source of the voice and saw him emerging from the fog. Today he didn’t look as worried and as anxious as he used to be. Without waiting for a second, I ran to him and lunged at

    Sophia Wyatt’s pov:Sophia Wyatt- 16 years old Rowan Levisay- 14 years old “Can you please stop staring at me?” I snapped at him. A blush crept to his cheeks, and he moved his eyes away. I felt bad for taking out my frustration on him. But the way he used to look at me, everyone around us knew that he had a crush on me. My friends used to ogle at him and used to sigh whenever they found him eyeing me. “Sophie! He is so hot!” Nova used to remark with a dreamy expression on her face. Irritatingly my best friend never said that about Colter, my boyfriend. Rowan Levisay got his great looks from his parents. He had class, style, looks, and just the right amount of hotness. That hotness was too much to handle for all the girls around. Except me. His father still had the aura that could make all females go weak in the knees. At this age, he was a spitting image of his father, Hunter Levisay. Our parents were family friends. I was an adopted daughter who was spoiled by her adoptive pa

The plan was to join the new office along with him but on our honeymoon, he kept convincing me to be a stay-at-home wife.He wanted me to take care of the home and cook hot meals for him.

I sent him after serving him breakfast and got busy cleaning the house when the doorbell rang.“Yes?” I went to the door and found a delivery guy standing there.“You have got a delivery from Raphael Wyatt, ma’am.” The guy informed me.“Daddy sent me a parcel!” I signed the receipt and brought the parcel inside with a big grin on my face.

    Sophia pov: (Trigger warning: Physical abuse but I tried my best not to be too graphic.) My heart was pounding as I stared at Rowan. What was he trying to say? Was he suggesting that I was making a mistake by staying with Colter? I felt defensive and protective of my marriage. No one had the right to interfere in my matters. "Care to explain what you are talking about?" I said, trying to keep my tone steady. I could feel the tension in the air between us. There was no explanation. This was my marriage, and I was adamant to work on it. I thought to myself. "You don't look fine," Rowan said in a hushed tone, trying to keep our conversation private. For the others around us, we were just two old friends catching up. I tried to keep a smile on my face for the sake of appearances. But Rowan wasn't letting it go. "Remember that movie night, Sophie?" he said, leaning in closer. "When we were all watching that suspense thriller. The kidnapped girl sent a message to her boyfriend, 'Help!'

The dinner party last night had been a lively affair, but something about it left me feeling unsettled.Sophia, my daughter, got married last year, but I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.I had never been in favor of Sophia's early marriage. I wanted her to pursue her career and become more confident before settling down. Hunter's daughters, Merissa and Maria, who were also present at the dinner, reminded me of what Sophia could have achieved had she not gotten married so young. Maybe I should have tried harder to persuade her."What are you thinking, Guzel?" Raphael, my husband, wrapped his strong arms around me from behind. I turned to him and smiled as he kissed me on the lips."Last night... Sophia..." I trailed off, unsure how to voice my concerns.As soon as he heard the words, Raphael exhaled deeply and slowly, pulling up a stoo

    Sophia pov “Your tooth is just fine,” the physician said after examining it, “You are feeling the pain due to the …” he paused for a moment, “the blow. I mean…” “We understand doctor,” Rowan stepped in while standing there. He had provided me with a pink t-shirt and pink cotton funky pants. “It’s Maria’s!” he explained when I had knitted my brows examining it. “I am placing some painkillers along with a sleeping pill on your nightstand. You need to take rest, Mrs. Wright.” I wanted to wince at the surname, “For now you must go for soft food.” The word food reminded me, I didn’t eat anything since morning. Whatever I ate at night was vomited out of my system. I plopped back on the pillow when Rowan escorted the doctor out of the room. The thought of popping in all those pills was making me sick. I always hated taking medicines. Dad was the one who used to put up with my grumbling and crankiness and help me swallow those pills. A uniformed woman came inside with a small tray, we

    Sophia’s pov: Colter was smart, intelligent, and the school’s soccer team captain. For every girl, he was an ideal. But he chose me as his girlfriend. We were good initially but then he started showing his true colors. “Your cousin is a creep, Sophie. He keeps staring at you. The little boy can’t control his urges,” he used to make fun of Rowan and I never liked it. “He is NOT my cousin, Colt.” I used to defend Rowan and that used to annoy him even more. “Yeah. Whatever. He is younger, Sophie. Just a kid! Don’t ever forget that. Trust me! Nobody wants to date a baby.” His remark tugged my heartstrings that day. Every other day he used to get aggressive and used to remind me that Rowan was just a mere kid. Most of the time his aggression used to be due to Rowan. He disliked it when Rowan used to sit right opposite our place in the cafeteria. He easily could get offended if he would find Rowan, visiting my place. I tried convincing him that Rowan was a family friend but failed.

    Rowan’s pov:The girl in my arms was sleeping soundly. She was making me feel like my arms were the best place where she could get that deep sleep. She was making me feel like I was a safe haven for her.That fuc*ker Colter tried to take away her spirit. Her soul. But she did it. She defeated him. The day she called me for help, I knew how much courage she must have gathered to do it. To type that single message. That single word.“Rowan!” she murmured in her sleep and stirred in my arms.“Go to sleep, Sophie. You are safe.” I said and closed my eyes but the she-devil close to me, kept rubbing herself against me intimately.“Soph!” I whispered and she made a pout in her sleep and opened her sleep-filled hooded eyes to look at me, “Go to sleep, love.”I tried to control my desire shooting up by her touch. She shook her head and started rubbing her cheek against my chest skin.“You smell amazing, Rowan.” She started kissing my chest and then climbed up to bring her face close to mine, “

    Rowan Levisay pov I looked down at the delicate girl in my arms who, very slowly, was now getting closer to me. She already lived in my heart and had, at last, started seeing me. The only difference was, she spotted me after twenty-five goddamn years. And I noticed her when I was just two. She used to sit cozily in bed with my sisters. I could hear their giggling sounds in my cot and always wanted to get down so that I could join the fun. Sometimes, Mom used to allow me to go to them. They used to cuddle me in between and all I wanted at that time was to sit beside my girl. She used to get irritated by my presence, and how I used to cling to her, stare at her. “Mom! I think she doesn’t like me.” While growing up, the four years old me, asked my mom. She smiled and made me sit on her lap. “She might see you if you stop clinging to her. Nobody likes that, Rowan. Everyone loves to have some space, son.” In my teenage years, I could never make a steady girlfriend. Because they all u

    Sophia’s pov. Restless, I continued to toss and turn in my bed, the weight of my past worries pressing heavily upon my chest. The hushed murmurs drifting up from downstairs did confirm what I already knew. My parents were still awake and their concern for me was refusing to let them succumb to sleep. Normally, my parents were early sleepers, but tonight was different. Tonight, their parental instincts were on high alert, their worry for me was palpable in the air. Ever since I could remember, they were protective of me and had shielded me from harm, nurtured me with unwavering love and care. As my adoptive parents, they made me and Jackson their utmost priority. They never let us feel that I was adopted and that Jackson was their own blood. As the minutes ticked by, I couldn't help but reflect on the countless times they had been my pillars of strength. They had been my unwavering support, always there to lend a hand or offer to just listen to me. To make me feel heard. And now,

    Emerald's pov: The weight of her words settled upon us like a heavy burden, each of us grappling with our own emotions. But at that moment, amidst the chaos of thoughts and feelings, one thing was clear — Sophie had endured some kind of ordeal. Something that was beyond our thoughts, and we had to listen, support, and help her find solace in our embrace. “Talk to us, love.” Rafael encouraged her to speak, “What is it? What did Colt do to you?” his voice seemed tense. “If I will tell you then would you believe me?” She asked Rafael innocently. Like a baby. Gosh! I wanted to cry. I could not wait to be alone and cry in my husband’s arms. But right now, we both needed to stay strong. “Yes, we will.” Abigail spoke with determination, “You are our kid. Why won’t we trust you?” The moment Abigail said that Sophia started crying. Her tears started slipping down her smooth cheeks. “Sophie?” Rafael and I both called her name. We both were shocked. “Mom! Dad! The one month I was with him

    Emerald's pov:Sophia was trembling while taking hesitant steps forward. She looked exhausted as if she had been through an ordeal that no words could adequately describe. The room remained silent, each of us holding our breath, waiting for her to speak.I saw Hunter gesturing for his investigators to leave the room without a sound.Finally, Sophia’s voice broke the silence, which was weak yet determined. "I... I'm sorry. I never meant to cause you all this worry. It's... it's complicated. I'll explain, I promise."Rafael and I exchanged glances, a mix of relief and concern etched on our faces. We moved closer to Sophia, enveloping her in a gentle embrace, offering comfort and reassurance. The room slowly came alive with a mixture of relief, confusion, and a silent desire for answers.Hunter, his voice laced with a mix of relief and urgency, stepped forward.

Don’t lose hope.”Tears were streaming down my face. I was sitting on the armchair, clutching a tissue in my trembling hands. Abigail Levisay … my compassionate friend and Rowan’s mom was kneeling beside me, offering comfort.I was sobbing uncontrollably, struggling to compose myself.“I can't help it, Abigail.

    Sophia pov:Without another word, he started rubbing my back with soapy hands. Placing my palms on the bathroom walls, I closed my eyes feeling his touch on my body and then my hair with a whiff of my shampoo. He opened the shower and started washing the sand off my hair. I held my breath when I felt his hands unusually lingering on my bre*asts.“May I?” I asked him, offering him the same comfort. He slowly shook his head and wrapped a bathrobe around me.“I can’t risk that, Sophie.” He draped a towel around my hair like a turban. He was still wearing his costume while I was there without a piece of clothing, “I can take my shower later.”True to his word, he didn’t even bat an eye on my nak*edness.“I promise, I would be decent enough not to sed*uce you,” I said mischievously making him chuckle.“And do you think that would make me happy, princess?” he placed his palms on either side of me on the walls of the bathroom behind me,His eyes were searching mine with a mixture of seriousn
