****Hailey****

The woods closed in around me, every sound sharper, every shadow longer. My breath came in ragged bursts as I clutched Max closer to my chest. Summer’s small hand trembled in mine, her fear reflecting my own.

Kevin marched ahead, his eyes scanning the dark. I didn’t know where we were going—or if we’d even make it there alive.

“Kevin,” I hissed, struggling to keep up. “You’re not saying anything! What’s happening? Where’s Hollis?”

He glanced back, his jaw set in a grim line. “He’s alive, but we’re not out of this yet. Keep moving.”

I wanted to scream. My heart had been lodged in my throat since he burst into the house, bloodied and urgent, telling us to run. And now, the only thing I knew for certain was that danger lurked everywhere.

But then, out of the shadows, a voice froze me in place.

“Hailey.”

It was low, calm, and terrifyingly familiar.

I whipped around, my eyes narrowing on the figure emerging from the trees. When she stepped into the moonlight, her sleek blond

    Hollis’s POV Pain tore through my chest with every breath, each step like dragging fire through my lungs. The woods seemed endless, shadows stretching and twisting like phantoms. Blood seeped from the wound beneath my jacket, warm and sticky against my skin. I wasn’t sure what hurt more—the knife buried in my chest earlier or the words that seemed to be consuming my thoughts: “Your wife didn’t die because of the accident, Hollis. She was poisoned—long before that crash.” Lauren’s face flashed in my mind, her laughter, the way she looked at me with love before it all fell apart. The accident that took her life wasn’t an accident at all. It wasn’t my fault. But now, someone wanted me to believe I killed her, wanted me broken and distracted. And worse—they were after my kids. “Damn it,” I hissed, stumbling into a clearing. “Hollis.” The voice was sharp and familiar. I looked up to see Derrick stepping out of the shadows, a rifle slung across his shoulder, his face hard as s

    The voice sliced through the room like a blade—cold, familiar, with an edge that made my blood run cold. My gut tightened, my pulse quickened, but I held myself together. Not yet. Not now. “Did you really think it would be that easy?” My hand clenched at my side, fingers itching for the grip of my gun, but I didn’t draw it. Not yet. “Justin,” I growled, barely recognizing the low growl in my voice. Every muscle in my body went rigid. My damn nephew. The one who had always been a thorn in my side, the one who resented me for everything I had, everything he thought should have been his. He stepped into the dim light, that same self-satisfied smirk on his face—so smug, so certain, like he owned the world. Or at least thought he did. I stepped forward, barely able to keep the rage from boiling over. I wanted to strike him. Right here, right now. But I knew better. Justin wanted me to lose my cool. He wanted me to make the first move. He was playing me. “Why the hell are you

    Hollis’s POVThe room was suffocating, its silence pressing against my chest like a vice. The dim light from the single bulb flickered erratically, casting shadows that stretched and contorted along the cracked walls. It felt fitting—this place, this moment—reflecting the chaos roiling in my mind.And there he stood, Justin. His posture was relaxed, his smirk smug, but his eyes burned with an unhinged fire. A predator circling its prey.“You always had a knack for drama,” I said, my voice low, carefully measured. “But dragging Hailey into this? That’s a new low. Even for you.”Justin chuckled, his hands casually sliding into his pockets. “Oh, Uncle, don’t be so self-righteous. You’ve been using people as pawns your whole life. Consider this... poetic justice.”The urge to lunge at him burned in my veins, but I stayed rooted, my fists clenched at my sides. I wouldn’t give him the satisfaction of seeing me lose control. That’s what he wanted.And then her voice cut through the tension l

    Hailey's povThe world spun around me in a blur of harsh light and suffocating darkness. My breath came in ragged gasps as the car swerved down the winding road, tires screeching against the gravel. The weight of the night pressed down on me—on all of us—and I clutched Max tightly, his tiny body shaking in my arms. Summer, too, trembled beside me, her face pale against the seat.Kevin’s eyes darted between the rearview mirror and the road ahead, his jaw clenched, hands gripping the wheel like his life depended on it. The tension in the car was suffocating, but my thoughts were a tangled mess. How far had we really gotten? My phone buzzed incessantly, but I couldn’t bring myself to look. Not yet.Suddenly, Kevin cursed under his breath. His eyes flicked to the side, and he slammed on the brakes. The tires screamed, fishtailing as the car came to a jarring halt."Stay down," Kevin hissed, his voice low and urgent. "Don’t move, Hailey."My heart pounded in my chest, a cold, sick feeling

    Hailey’s POV My heart pounded like a war drum in my chest, each beat loud and relentless, drowning out any coherent thought. I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t focus. All I could feel was the overwhelming terror gripping me, squeezing my chest so tightly it felt like I might choke. Max and Summer were gone. Taken. My babies were out there, somewhere, without me to protect them, and the thought sent a wave of pure panic crashing through my veins. I paced the floor, my steps frantic and uneven, clutching the phone in my trembling hand. The walls of our home—once warm and safe—felt cold and suffocating now, as if every ounce of life and comfort had been drained away. The silence was unbearable. No laughter. No cries. Nothing but the hollow ache of what I’d lost. Hollis stood at the edge of the room, his presence solid and unmoving, like a rock against the tide. His broad shoulders were tense, his jaw set in a hard line, and though his calm exterior gave no hint of the storm within, I knew

    Hailey's POV The warehouse loomed before us, its rusted walls and flickering lights casting ominous shadows that made my stomach twist. Each step felt like walking deeper into a nightmare, but I couldn’t stop. Not when Max and Summer were somewhere in this cold, desolate place. I gripped the blade tucked into my belt tighter, my knuckles white with tension. The air was thick with the smell of oil and rust, the metallic tang seeping into my throat. Every sound echoed ominously, amplifying the silence that hung over us like a death sentence. Hollis was just ahead, his broad shoulders rigid, his fists clenched at his sides. He didn’t speak, but the determination etched into his face mirrored the storm raging in my chest. I didn’t need words from him; I just needed him to keep going, to lead us to our children. Then, I heard it—a faint sound, barely audible over the pounding of my heart. "Mom?" I froze, the whisper hitting me like a jolt of electricity. That voice. I’d know

My vision narrowed, locking onto them—shadowy figures emerging from the dark, guns drawn, eyes burning with malice. But I wasn’t looking at them. My eyes were fixed on Hailey.She stood there, fierce and protective, pushing Max and Summer behind her. Her face was a mask of determination, but I saw it—the flicker of fear, just beneath the surface. She wasn’t invincible.And it wasn’t enough.The sound of the gunshot shattered everything.Time stopped. Everything ground to a halt, and all I could hear was the sickening pop of the bullet cutting through the night. Hailey crumpled like a ragdoll, her body jerking violently as the impact hit. Blood blossomed from her chest, staining the ground beneath her. I couldn’t move. Couldn’t breathe. The world tilted, and I felt my stomach drop.“No!” My voice ripped through the air in a guttural

    The world felt like it had gone silent. The gunshots, the chaos—it all faded into the background. All that mattered was Hailey.I watched her, her body trembling in my arms, blood staining my clothes, her breathing ragged. The weight of her in my arms felt heavier than the world itself. Every second that ticked by without her fully conscious felt like a hammer striking my chest.I couldn’t lose her. Not like this. Not now.“Hollis,” she whispered, barely able to form the words. Her eyes flickered open just enough to meet mine, dim, almost lifeless, but there was still a spark in them—a desperate, silent plea to hold on.“Stay with me, Hailey,” I begged, my voice cracking under the weight of everything I was feeling. My hands shook as I cupped her face, trying to keep her with me, keep her alive.She didn’t answer, but I could feel the faintest squeeze of her fingers around mine. It was weak—so weak—but it was something.“I’m not letting you go,” I growled, my chest heaving. “You’re no

    Hailey***The night sky stretched out above us like a blanket of stars, the villa bathed in golden light, as though the universe itself was celebrating this moment with us. It was a night of endings and beginnings—a night where we would seal our future with the promise of love, joy, and family.We all returned to the old house, the villa where we had shared so many memories. It was filled with a sense of nostalgia, yet excitement for what was to come, as if everything we’d fought for was now within our reach.I stood in front of the grand fireplace, the flames casting a warm, flickering glow across the room. The villa, with its rustic charm and luxurious touches, felt like home—not just a house, but the foundation of the life we were building together.Summer and Max were tucked into bed, their soft breaths filling the quiet house. The stillness was peaceful, broken only by the occasional hum of the night air and the distant call of crickets. The world outside was calm, but inside, my

    Hailey***The evening air was cool yet soothing, wrapping the farmhouse in a stillness that only the countryside could offer. As the first stars began to sprinkle the deepening indigo sky, the farmhouse seemed to glow with a warmth that hadn’t been there before. It wasn’t just a hiding place anymore—it was a sanctuary, a space where love and healing had begun to take root.I stood at the edge of the garden, watching Hollis and Summer as they worked side by side. Their laughter blended with the soft rustle of leaves, a melody of simple joy. Little Max toddled after them, his chubby hands grasping at flowers with an earnestness that only a one-year-old could muster. My hand instinctively rested on the curve of my belly, a habit that had become second nature. The new life growing inside me was a quiet reminder of hope and resilience.The sight before me filled my heart with peace, fragile yet overwhelming. After everything we’d endured, it was hard to believe we were here—together. The w

    Hailey***The farmhouse had always been both a haven and a cage—a place far removed from the chaos that had consumed our lives. It was where I could pretend, even for a moment, that the world beyond its weathered walls didn’t exist. The isolation was a strange kind of comfort, one that held both solace and loneliness. The days passed quietly, the rhythm of the countryside punctuated only by the laughter of my children or the occasional rustle of wind through the trees.Summer, who had always been shy and reserved, had shown a bright curiosity these past few days. The seven-year-old had taken to exploring the nearby fields, dragging her little brother Max behind her like a loyal shadow. At just over a year old, Max was the perfect mimic, his chubby hands reaching for flowers or clapping at birds that flitted overhead. Watching them filled my heart with a fragile kind of peace. Here, they were safe. Here, they were untouched by the dangers that lurked outside.That morning, I busied mys

    Hollis***The world I had once known—the world that had held me captive for so long—had finally crumbled. It wasn't just what my grandfather had done to me. It was everything he had done to the people who couldn’t protect themselves. The families he destroyed in his pursuit of power, the lives he crushed beneath his heel. I had suffered, but the worst part was always what he did to them, to those who trusted him. Now, finally, the time had come to make him pay. Slowly, methodically, piece by piece, I would tear him apart. Years of planning and waiting had led to this moment, and I was ready to exact my revenge with a cold determination that matched his own cruelty. He would regret ever crossing me.But even now, sitting in his seat, there’s a moment of hesitation. A part of me wonders—what if this isn’t enough? What if revenge won’t fix what was broken? I’d spent months walking a tightrope, pretending, smiling, nodding, showing the world I was the weak, compliant heir he wanted me to

    Hailey***A few months have passed. I can still feel the ache in my chest, like a constant companion. It’s become a part of me now, something I carry with every breath. The farmhouse is quiet. Too quiet. Every creak of the floorboards, every gust of wind that rattles the windows, feels like a reminder of what’s missing. Him.In this foreign country, with only the sprawling fields and endless sky for company, silence is suffocating. The outside world feels like it’s moving—always in motion—while I’m trapped in this stillness. I long for the noise, the chaos, the comfort of someone else’s voice. But here, with only my own thoughts echoing in the empty rooms, I’ve become too aware of every passing second.I walk into the kitchen, my bare feet silent against the cool floor, my movements automatic. Max is sitting on the floor with his blocks, his laughter a bright, shining contrast to the dark cloud hanging over me. His joy is innocent, pure—but it only deepens the hollow inside me. It rem

    Hailey***I never imagined this would be how it ends—this final moment between us, the last time I hold her, touch her, feel her warmth. But here we are. Time has been slipping through my fingers like sand, and I can’t stop it. The reality of what I’m doing weighs on me. I know what it means for Hailey, for me, and for all of us. But this is the only way to protect her. To protect them.I watch her in the soft light, the way her eyes search mine as though trying to find an answer, some reassurance. But I don’t have one to give her. Not anymore. There’s nothing left except this moment, and I want to give it to her fully. To make it count.Her hands tremble slightly as she reaches for me, her touch tentative but longing. I step into her embrace, feeling the heat of her body against mine, and the moment she wraps her arms around me, pulling me close, I feel my heart crack a little more. I don’t want to let go either. Not now. Not ever.Her lips find mine, soft but urgent, as though they’

    Hailey***A month has passed, but it feels like years. Hollis's wounds have finally healed, but the ache in my heart still remains. The memories of that day haunt me, replaying in my mind, a constant reminder of the pain and loss I endured. I fear that the scars will never fully fade, no matter how much time passes. But now there’s a new pain, different from the physical and emotional wounds I’ve known before. It’s the pain of separation, the feeling of being lost without someone who once meant everything to me. The emptiness inside grows deeper with each passing day, leaving me longing for a sense of wholeness that may never return.The house is so quiet now—too quiet. Without Summer’s laughter echoing through the halls or Max’s tiny giggles filling the air, it feels hollow. Every room reminds me of them. Every corner holds the weight of what’s been lost.I sit on the couch, cradling a photo frame in my trembling hands. The smiles staring back at me feel like a lifetime ago. A fragme

    Hailey***The silence between us was suffocating, a heavy weight pressing down on my chest as I tried to steady my breath. My fingers gripped Hollis tightly, as though by holding him in my arms, I could shield him from the pain that clung to him like a shadow. His past, the betrayal of his father, the haunting loss of his mother—each memory swirled around us, invisible but all-encompassing. I could feel the rawness of it in his every breath, and it broke my heart to know how deep the wounds ran.For a moment, I closed my eyes, allowing the rhythmic thrum of his heartbeat to ground me. I let the sound wash over me, offering a moment of peace amid the storm that raged inside him. But as I exhaled, a harsh truth settled in my chest. He didn’t want history to repeat itself. He didn’t want to become like his father—the man who had been torn apart by forces beyond his control, the man who had lost everything in his desperate attempts to hold onto something that could never be his.It was a

    Hailey***"If you want to see me alive again, you have to leave now," Hollis said firmly. "Or do you want to see my dead body lying in front of you?"The words hung in the air, suffocating, and for a moment, time seemed to freeze. My heart raced, each beat louder than the last, my body trembling as I struggled to grasp what he was asking. I stared at him, searching his face for any sign of doubt, some indication that this was just another cruel game, another way to push me away. But there was nothing. His expression was cold, almost empty, and yet in his eyes, I could see the pain—the broken pieces of the man I once knew.I took a shaky breath, feeling as though the world were closing in on me. How could he ask me to leave him? How could he force me to leave him with the children?But deep down, I knew—he wasn’t asking; he was pleading. This wasn’t a choice anymore; it was a sacrifice, one I had to make to keep us all safe. The weight of it crushed me, but I knew there was no other wa
