Poor Heir Millionaire 88
When everything was calmer, I left the room, with Jack trailing behind me, totally dejected, giving the others their respective space to recover from what had happened.I had completely forgotten the reason why I had gone to fetch that idiot dragging his feet beside me; it had vanished from my mind due to that tragic incident. How important it was to mention to him what I had been hiding from him for days on end.However, every time I tried to even mention it, something happened. Perhaps it was fate correcting me that it was best to keep silent, but unfortunately, a great remorse invaded my body, inhibiting me from acting naturally, so I urgently needed to confess to him as soon as possible.He stopped walking, staying behind me with his hands in his pant pockets and his gaze fixed on the floor, restraining the unrestrained desires to cry or scream, maybe both.I turned around slowly to observe him with a raised eyebrow, controlling my desire to embrace him, to rid him of his terrible

Since Jack needed to prepare for the operation as best as possible, he decided to take some time off work to stay in the hospital for days, where Nurse Kim administered the necessary medications for the collection of stem cells, ensuring that everything would go smoothly on the day of his surgery.At times, I would stand outside observing from the hallway his face of pain and exhaustion. I hadn't spoken to him no matter how much I tried, and likewise, he hadn't made much effort to initiate a conversation with me.The brown-haired man remained calm and chose to keep his distance, although sometimes, when our gazes met, I could feel his silent pain invading my entire body. Being in that state was a dreadful torture.However, even though I knew it was wrong to sulk in a corner, seeing him slowly killing himself was detestable, and not being able to do anything to stop him made me feel like a complete idiot.Days after the catastrophic scene with Deborah, Victoria had a strange visit from

I shook my head, dispelling my negative thoughts. I would give my best to keep Jack alive, but the prognosis was not encouraging.I hurriedly wiped away the tears that had escaped from my eyes upon hearing the doorbell ringing throughout the house. It was surely those two who had agreed to go buy some gifts for the kids and then pick me up. I ran to open the door without bothering to even glance to make sure it was them. After all, Jack was lying in bed barely breathing.I turned around, ready to grab my suitcase to leave."I'm almost done packing everything, just wait for me for a second..." I whispered as I returned to the room. Remembering that I didn't have my identifications, I rummaged through the nightstand, and it was terrifyingly surprising to find a pile of messages I hadn't seen in a long time, ever since Jack had reappeared in my life."I'll come for you," was written on scraps of magazine paper, too many to count at a glance, and I was sure it was another one of Jack's ta

I heard the sound of something breaking, and seconds later, tiny shards of glass fell upon us, injuring my face and hers. Although she was bleeding, she didn't bother with anything other than strangling me with her thick hands."Let me go!" I growled between tears. I wanted to defend myself from her attacks, to hit her face, to scratch every part of her skin, but her holding me by the neck was the only chance of not falling backwards into the precipice, as my feet were on the edge, struggling to hold on due to the lack of oxygen.I heard distant screams from people on the street, and the wind caressed my hair, whispering to me as it passed that I would soon die.If she let me go, there would be no way to survive at that height; it would be my end.They always say that when you're about to die, you see your life flash before your eyes or a faint light approaching you, but all I could glimpse was my father's contempt in his pupils, I could see the anger in his expression fused with the

"Don't make that face, you're supposed to be happy to see me again," he muttered, disappointed with my downtrodden expression. He placed his hands on my shoulders and without warning, he clawed at my breasts, forcing me to bite my lower lip to stifle my screams, choking them back in my chest."Dad, I love you," I blurted out suddenly, it was my last chance to escape from this dreadful scenario. He remained petrified under my distressed gaze, and upon sensing his distress, a magnificent escape plan crossed my mind. "I'll be good, I'll do whatever you ask. Please don't hurt me anymore.""It doesn't matter what you say, Lucy. My desire to tear you apart won't change, darling," he muttered with a hint of sadness in his voice. However, his expression was impassive, even as he watched me cry inconsolably. It was evident from miles away how pleasurable this moment was for him. "That's just how things are for you and me. When I kill you, I'll go with you. There's no way I'll be separated from

I remember in my eerie dreams, I wandered aimlessly along a path of stones, which hurt the soles of my feet with every step, yet I didn't care because I kept walking until, at the end of the road, I found myself covered in blood.Terrified, I looked at my hands, finding that knife between them, soaked in that crimson liquid. I was ready to scream in horror, but suddenly my eyes snapped open, bringing me back to reality.The first thing I encountered was a white wall, the smell of medications invading my nostrils, and I mechanically breathed, calming my racing heart, realizing without much effort that I was in a hospital.I heard distorted voices of two people nearby, and I let my eyes wander around the illuminated room, finding Nia and Ryan on the couch, chatting in whispers.I struggled to sit up, letting out a groan that caught their attention. Both noticed that I had woken up – after who knows how many days – and stood up to help me."Lucy!" scolded the girl, standing by my side, a

I stopped minutes later in front of my mother's room, where I entered in total silence. She, as beautiful as ever, was sitting on the bed reading a book that perhaps Ryan had bought for her.Mom Monica, upon seeing me arrive, set the book aside with her eyes wide open, surprised that I was up and walking towards her despite my discomfort.Hurriedly, she threw off the sheet almost kicking it, got out of bed with great care, enveloping me in her arms before I even reached halfway."Darling!" she exclaimed, squeezing me with immense affection, which elicited a sincere smile from me, enchanted by her tenderness. "I'm so sorry!""Mom, you don't have to apologize," I murmured in her ear, giving her a chaste kiss on the cheek, wiping away her silent tears with my lips."I'm so glad you're okay. That horrible man should have stayed in jail for life," she said exasperatedly, stepping back a bit to analyze every detail of me. She placed her hands on either side of my face, distressed by the dis

I held his gaze with sweetness, and involuntarily, seeing him so devastated, I smiled without needing to fake it. With him, things were more bearable, almost natural.I remained static, as he was the one who took the first step towards me and gently took my face in his hands, analyzing every part of me, making sure I was okay, which would be a lie to say, since I was a complete mess thanks to those wounds that would give me gray hair, making the effort to ensure that I didn't end up with horrendous scars.But it didn't compare to my emotional wound, that would never be erased no matter how hard I tried, it would always be deep down in my being tormenting me whenever it pleased.Without warning, he planted a sweet kiss on my forehead, making me blush, seeing his eyes well up with tears that he didn't shed.We hadn't spoken for days, barely even looked at each other, because I had put up that immense wall again that he had now broken with just a caress.He trailed his soft lips along th
