DAVID

The faint rustle of leaves couldn’t drown out the storm raging in my head. My wife my Bella had been manipulated right under my nose. That gardener, a snake in the grass, had slithered into my home, whispering lies, feeding her doubts, and I hadn't even noticed.

“Why did you act like that to him?” Bella’s soft voice cut through my spiraling thoughts. Her brow furrowed, and her lips pressed into a thin line as she waited for my answer.

I forced a chuckle, masking the burning anger under my skin. “Nothing. Let’s just say he’s a bit too friendly with my woman.”

Her eyes narrowed, suspicion flickering in their depths, but she sighed and turned away. “You’re impossible.” Without another word, she strode toward the house, leaving me alone in the garden.

I followed her upstairs, my footsteps quiet on the polished floors. She stood by the window, bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun, a hand resting protectively on her rounded belly.

“How are my babies doing?” I asked softly, step

    LIZZYThe phone felt cold against my ear as I waited for him to pick up. Finally, Michael’s voice, sharp and impatient, came through.“I’m busy. What do you want?”A slow smile crept across my lips. “Busy? You’ll want to hear this.”There was silence, the kind that told me I had his attention.“What is it?” he asked.I paced my room, my heels clicking against the hardwood floor. “David Copperfield is throwing a party. At his mansion.”“How do you even know that?” His voice was laced with suspicion.I twirled a strand of my hair around my finger, enjoying the power of the moment. “I have my ways. And I have a plan one that benefits us both. All I need is for you to do one thing.” I paused, savoring the anticipation. “You’ll sleep with Bella.”“What?” His voice shot through the line like a bullet. “That’s insane. How….”“Relax,” I interrupted, rolling my eyes. “During the party, we’ll slip her a drink. Something... special. It’ll make her lose control, and then, well, you’ll finally hav

    BELLA The cool sterility of the hospital air hit me the moment we stepped inside, the faint smell of disinfectant clinging to my nose. David’s fingers brushed mine as we walked, snapping me out of my thoughts. He held out a picture, his expression unreadable.“This is your father,” he said, watching my face as if gauging my reaction.I took the photo with trembling fingers, schooling my features into neutrality. If he had any inkling that my memories were back, he didn’t show it. I studied the image of the man who’d raised me, my chest tightening. I couldn’t afford to let my emotions slip not now.David’s voice broke through the silence. “I thought it would help to remind you of who he is.”I nodded faintly, playing along. His words were sharp reminders of the betrayal still fresh in my mind. Lizzy’s face flashed before me, and the weight of David’s actions pressed against my chest. If only I knew why he had been with her that night, maybe I could forgive him. Maybe.A group of docto

    BELLAThe wind howled through the cracks in the window frame, rattling it just enough to unnerve me. I shivered, pulling my shawl tighter around my shoulders as I moved to latch it securely. Dark clouds swirled outside, the promise of rain thick in the air.A sharp gust caught the edge of the curtains, sending them billowing into the room like ghostly arms. I slammed the window shut, leaning against it for a moment to steady my racing heart. I hated storms always had. Even as a child, the rumble of thunder had sent me scrambling under the covers. But now wasn’t the time to let fear creep in.I turned back toward my bed, eager to lose myself in sleep, when the door flew open. The handle banged against the wall, and my heart leapt into my throat. David strode in, his presence commanding as usual, his shirt unbuttoned at the collar like he’d just come from a meeting or trouble.“What are you doing here?” I snapped, instinctively tugging the covers up to my chin.He smirked, as though my

    DAVIDI was still chatting with Janet when the faint click of heels on the marble floor made me turn. There she was Bella. Her gold gown caught the light like it was spun from stardust, clinging to her curves in a way that made my breath catch. Her hair cascaded down her back, the soft waves framing her delicate face, but it was her eyes those vibrant, unguarded eyes that drew me in, even after everything."Am I missing something?" she asked, her voice soft but teasing, as if she knew the effect she had on everyone in the room.Janet answered before I could. "No, you’re not. You look stunning, Bella. Absolutely stunning."A shy smile tugged at Bella’s lips. "Thank you," she replied, and for a fleeting moment, I saw the woman I’d fallen for before everything turned to chaos."May I?" I asked, offering her my arm, my tone light but my heart thundering. When she placed her hand in mine, the warmth of her touch steadied me, even as her closeness set my nerves on fire.As we stepped into t

My heart pounded as I spotted Lizzy ahead, her body tense with fear as she tried to flee.“Seize her!” I roared, my voice unwavering as two of my guards rushed after her.I stormed down the hallway, the weight of the situation crashing over me with every step. When I broke down the door, the scene before me froze me in place. My Bella, half-naked, trembling, her skin bruised from struggling, her eyes wide with terror. And there was Michael his hands on her, his vile intentions clear.The anger surged through me, burning hotter than anything I had ever felt. "How dare you?" I shouted, my voice thick with fury. I lunged forward and struck him, my fist connecting with his jaw. He staggered, falling to the floor in a heap.I grabbed him by the collar, my knuckles white with the force of my grip.

    DAVIDThe sun pierced through the thin curtains, its brightness pulling me from restless sleep. My head throbbed slightly as the events of last night replayed in my mind. I glanced down at Bella, still nestled against me, her soft, even breaths brushing my chest. Her face, peaceful and serene, held none of the fear that had twisted it hours earlier.The sight stirred something raw in me a deep, protective ache I couldn’t shake. Gently, I brushed a strand of hair from her cheek, my fingers lingering against her skin. She stirred slightly but didn’t wake.Reluctantly, I slipped out from under her and reached for my clothes, scattered haphazardly across the floor. My shirt smelled faintly of sweat and the chaos of last night. I buttoned it quickly, then turned back to her. She looked so small and fragile, wrapped in the thin blanket, her lips slightly parted.Carefully, I gathered her into my arms, the blanket cocooning her against the morning chill. She murmured something unintelligible

    BELLAThe room felt suffocating. Every corner, every piece of furniture screamed his name. I didn’t want to believe what I’d overheard that I was just a pawn in David’s twisted game. My heart clenched as I yanked open the wardrobe. One by one, I pulled out my clothes, tossing them into the open suitcase on the bed. My hands trembled as I avoided touching anything he’d ever bought me. Those things felt like shackles now, weights pulling me deeper into this pit of betrayal.The memories stabbed at me relentlessly. First, there was the night with his ex-fiancée her presence in our lives, his lies, and how it had all ended with me losing my memories. And now this? A bet? Tears blurred my vision, but I didn’t stop packing. The mansion, once grand and full of life, now felt like a gilded prison. I couldn’t stay here another second.I froze mid-motion, clutching a scarf. The door creaked open. My breath hitched as David stepped inside, his face drawn and pale. His eyes immediately fell on th

    BELLAThe phone felt heavy in my hand as I stared at Elowen's name on the screen. My thumb hovered for a second before I tapped to call her."I'm coming home," I said the moment she picked up.Her voice was laced with confusion. "What? Why?"I drew in a shaky breath. "I ended things with David. I can't... I won't do this anymore." My voice cracked, and I hated the weakness I heard in it.Elowen hesitated before responding, her voice soft but steady. "Alright, babe. I'm at home. Come over."I hung up and hailed a cab, sliding into the backseat with a heavy heart. The car rumbled to life, the sound barely cutting through the storm of emotions in my head. I stared out the window, watching the city blur past. The weight of it all settled deep in my chest David’s betrayal, the lies, the games. The wind outside seemed relentless, as though it shared my turmoil."We're here," the driver said, pulling me from my spiraling thoughts.I blinked and reached into my wallet, handing him the fare. M

    DAVIDI spent the entire night poring over strategies to dismantle Denise’s plans. The moment Bella insisted on joining the fight, I knew I had to shut her down.“No, Bella,” I said, my voice firm but gentle. “You’re pregnant. I can’t risk your life or our baby’s.”Her eyes flared with defiance, her hands folding over her growing belly. “But you and Janet risked your lives to bring the people who tried to kill me to justice,” she argued, her voice steady, daring me to counter.I sighed, running a hand through my hair, frustration evident. “How about you visit your father for a while?” I suggested. “By the time you’re back, we’ll have taken care of Denise.”She crossed her arms, the set of her jaw telling me I’d already lost this battle. “No, David. I’m staying. That’s final.”I exhaled sharply, pinching the bridge of my nose. Arguing with a determined woman especially a pregnant one was a battle destined for failure.“All right, fine,” I muttered, waving a white flag in my mind. “But

    DAVID“Babe, you need to rest,” I said softly, brushing a stray curl from Bella’s face.Her eyelids fluttered, heavy with sleep, but she managed a small nod. “I think... you’re right,” she murmured, her voice thick with exhaustion.Taking her hand, I guided her to her room, watching as she stifled a yawn. The moment her head hit the pillow, she was out like a light, mumbling a faint “Good night” that made me smile.I stood there for a moment, my gaze lingering on her. The soft rise and fall of her chest, the slight curve of her lips pregnancy had added a glow to her, even as it filled her face out a little. To me, she was perfection. Leaning down, I kissed her forehead gently, then pulled the blanket up to her chin.“Sleep well, my love,” I whispered, turning off the lamp and quietly shutting the door behind me.But as I stepped into the hallway, my serenity evaporated. Janet. My sister’s fear weighed heavily on me, and I couldn’t shake the tension knotting my shoulders. Without hesit

    DAVIDBella's gaze lingered on me as the car glided through the streets toward the estate. I could feel the weight of her curiosity pressing against my silence."What happened?" she asked, her voice soft but insistent.I forced a smile that barely reached my eyes. "Nothing."Her eyes narrowed. "Don’t lie to me, David. Your whole demeanor changed the second you checked your phone."A muscle in my jaw tightened as I weighed my words. "Someone’s after my sister.""Who?" she pressed, leaning slightly toward me."Denise," I said curtly.Her brows furrowed. "Who’s Denise? I don’t think you’ve ever mentioned him.""You wouldn’t know him," I said, my tone clipped."Then tell me. Maybe I will," she replied, her persistence unwavering.The car pulled to a stop in front of my mansion, its grand facade illuminated by the soft glow of the outdoor lights. My assistant stepped out and opened Bella’s door. I followed, my eyes scanning the grounds instinctively, looking for any sign of trouble."Have

    DAVIDThe sound of laughter carried through the summer air, drawing my attention to the yard. Bella stood there, soaked from head to toe, her hair clinging to her neck as she laughed with her father and Elowen, water dripping from their clothes. Her smile wide, unguarded, and carefree made my chest tighten.I leaned against my car, watching from afar, unable to pull my gaze away. Bella’s father splashed her, and she squealed, retaliating with a bucket of water. For a moment, I just stood there, basking in the joy of watching her with her family. This this was happiness.“Sir, are we staying here or heading back?” my assistant’s voice broke through my thoughts, pulling me back to reality.I straightened and reached for the car door. “Let’s head back,” I said, just as a voice behind me stopped me in my tracks.“Are you leaving without your wife?”I turned, and there she was Bella. Her cheeks were flushed, her damp shirt clinging to her growing belly. She was breathtaking.Her hands rest

    DAVIDThe early morning light filtered through my bedroom window, casting golden streaks across the polished floor. I leaned against the edge of my desk, my phone cradled in my hand as I dialed the Chief of Police. The weight of my plans hung heavy in the room, though my resolve was unshakable.He picked up on the second ring."David," his voice carried a mixture of warmth and curiosity, "It’s been a while. I was beginning to think you’d forgotten about me.""I’ve been busy," I replied, my tone sharp and direct. "But I have something for you a name you’ve been waiting for.""Oh?" His interest peaked instantly. "Who might that be?""Desmond Stefan," I said, savoring the silence that followed."Desmond Stefan? Are you sure about this?" His voice dropped, cautious now. "He’s not just some ordinary man. He’s a powerful lawyer, David. We can’t touch him unless..""Unless you have evidence," I interrupted, my voice colder than the early morning breeze. "I have everything you need. Enough to

    DAVIDI stepped out of the tutoring room, Janet trailing behind me, her curious gaze boring into the side of my head. She’d been waiting to pounce with questions ever since she overheard bits of my conversation earlier."Spit it out," I said without looking at her.Her lips quirked into a triumphant smile. "So, Desmond is your friend?"I stopped mid-step and turned to her. "Correction was my friend. My ex-best friend."Her eyebrows shot up. "Wow. What happened? I mean, I heard him say he tried to poison you""He didn’t try. He did poison me," I cut her off, my tone sharper than I intended.Janet’s eyes widened, her expression a mix of shock and intrigue. She clasped her hands in front of her, giving me that infamous puppy-dog face she always used to fish for details."Don’t even start with that face," I said, pinching the bridge of my nose. "It doesn’t work on me."She didn’t budge."Fine. I’ll tell you if you drop the face," I said, exasperated.She grinned, slipping her arm through

    DAVID “Denise,” Janet’s voice cracked as she whispered his name. Her hand trembled slightly, clutching the edge of the table for balance.I froze at the sound, a rush of memories flooding back. Denise. The man who destroyed my sister’s life. My jaw tightened as I processed her words, my hands curling into fists. A slow, humorless smile crept across my face, but inside, fury churned like a storm.“Well, well,” I said, my voice a low growl. “Don’t tell me that bastard’s been released from prison.”Janet didn’t respond, but the haunted look in her eyes was all the confirmation I needed. She was trying to stand tall, but the faint quiver in her lips betrayed her.“Ten years,” I muttered, more to myself than to her. “It’s been ten years, and now he’s free. After everything he’s done...”The image of Janet’s younger self flashed in my mind barely more than a teenager, her face pale and tear-streaked as she begged me to help her. Denise had forced her into an abortion, leaving her unable to

    DAVIDThe black SUV hummed quietly as I parked it in the shadow of the looming estate. The air smelled of wet earth and gasoline, the kind of scent that carried secrets. I glanced at Janet in the passenger seat. Her nails tapped nervously against the side of her thigh, a tell she’d never learned to hide.I pulled a small vial from my pocket, the liquid inside glinting like deceit under the car's dim light. "Here’s the plan," I began, my voice calm but firm. "Desmond is in that room right now. He’s already started drinking, and I’ll send you in shortly. Slip this into his drink. Quietly. He won’t suspect a thing."Her eyes darted to the mansion ahead, then back to me. "How do you even know all this?" she asked, suspicion threading her voice.I leaned back against the seat, letting the corner of my lips curl into a cryptic smile. "You’ll find out soon enough."Her hand was already on the door handle when she froze. "Wait. Don’t he usually have guards? You’re sending me in there alone?"

    DAVIDI gripped the steering wheel tighter, the soft hum of the car engine doing little to soothe the storm brewing inside me. "You haven’t even asked about the guy’s name," I muttered, throwing a sidelong glance at my younger sister.Janet adjusted her lipstick in the visor mirror, her calm demeanor a sharp contrast to my simmering frustration. "We’ll figure it out when we get to Midnight Manor," she said breezily, snapping the visor shut. "No point in jumping to conclusions before we’ve got the facts."I clenched my jaw, focusing on the winding road ahead. Midnight Manor wasn’t just any club it was Clara’s favorite haunt before…before she was taken from me.By the time we pulled into the club’s neon-lit parking lot, my nerves were stretched thin. Janet stepped out first, her heels clicking confidently against the pavement. "You’re unusually hands-on with this," she said, her eyes narrowing as she studied me. "You usually have your guards or assistants handle stuff like this. What’s
