Chapter 36: Blood TiesI stood at the threshold, hesitating as the muffled voices from within reach my ears.My heart pounded with uncertainty, but the desperate need to understand what was actually happening inside propels me forward.Slowly, I press my ear against the door, attempting to decipher the words spoken by a male voice which undoubtedly my brother.Amidst the faint sobs, my mother's tearful voice resonates through the room. “Please, Kyle! Please don’t do this!”The air thickens as I strain to catch every word.“This is all I have left!” Her sobs grow louder as does the tremor in her voice. “What will I do after you’ve taken it all? How will I live on?”“That’s not my problem, is it?” Kyle yells out, and yet another crash makes me flinch, but I still keep listening. “How am I supposed to live on, mother? You think I can keep slaving at my in-laws like this every day? They treat me like a fucking slave! I need to get the fuck out of there!”“But…I won’t have anything left, s
Chapter 37: Unexpected SaviorMy heart raced as I watched the ambulance speed away, carrying my mother to the hospital. Panic gripped me, and I felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness. But once again, it is Mrs. Synclair who comes to my rescue and drives me to the hospital.For me, it seemed like she is a godsend, who had appeared just in time to help me navigate the sudden complexities that life had thrown in my direction.The sterile hospital walls seemed to close in around me as I clung to the hope that the doctors could save my mother.Amid the chaos, Mrs. Synclair sat beside me with genuine concern. Her eyes held a mix of empathy and regret."Kyra, I'm so sorry about your mom. If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know," she said, her voice carrying the weight of sincerity.Tears welled up in my eyes as I managed a weak smile. "Thank you, Mrs. Synclair. I really appreciate your kindness, but you’ve already done so much for me."As we sat in the waiting room, she
Chapter 38: A Beacon of HopeI stand there, a silent observer in the sterile hospital room, watching as the doctors draw Jordon's blood.Despite his assistance in saving my mother's life, a chilling sense of foreboding grips me, an unsettling feeling that I can't shake.Jordon's actions, though seemingly altruistic, leave me uneasy as if a silent debt has been forged, and I'm now entangled in his web.As the medical procedures unfold, I can't help but dwell on the implications of my indebtedness to Jordon.What does he expect in return for this life-saving act?I sense that he has maneuvered the situation to his advantage, positioning me precisely where he wants me.The complexity of emotions swirls within me – gratitude for my mother's life, coupled with an underlying fear of the unknown.The hospital room is bathed in the sterile glow of overhead lights, casting a clinical ambiance. Mrs. Synclair, seated by the bedside, looks at me with concern etched across her face.Her grandchild
Chapter 39: TrappedWe walked in silence and the words of Mrs. Synclair kept ringing in my head. And also I remembered what she told me way back in the car about him and Cathy.My heart raced as Jordan guided me to a secluded area of the hospital, away from prying eyes and curious ears.The sterile smell of disinfectant surrounded us, intensifying my unease.Despite the nagging feeling that something wasn't right, gratitude for Jordan's role in saving my mother compelled me to follow.In the quiet corner, I finally mustered the courage to question Jordan's motives."What do you want, Jordan? Why bring me here?" I asked, my voice betraying a mix of curiosity and apprehension.I stood in the sterile hallway of the hospital, my arms folded tightly across my chest, staring daggers at Jordan as he approached. His confident stride matched the arrogance in his eyes, and I felt my anger boil beneath the surface.This had been a fucking mistake. How could you’ve been so stupid, Kyra?"Kyra," h
Chapter 40: Stronger Together“Stay the fuck away from my girl.”Instant relief flooded through my veins as I realized someone had come to my aid.The chaos of the moment paused, the hospital corridor transformed into a battlefield of emotions.The atmosphere crackled with tension, and my eyes met those of the person who had just rescued me, just a fraction of a second before she turned around to shield me with her body.Jordan and I both stared astounded at the woman who was now standing in between us, taking a protective stance in front of me. She was turned towards Jordan with her back to me and she was wearing a leather jacket with dark blue jeans and high heeled boots. Her hair was wavy and cut in a bob that barely touched her shoulders. It appeared black with some light blue highlights.But even without looking, I could tell who she was.Jordan was looking at her in confusion as he covered his wounded cheek with his hand. Anyone else would’ve been confused too…but I had known he
Chapter 41: At Your Command"On the floor, Kyra," Gabby told me as soon as we were inside the confines of my hotel room, the doors locked securely behind us. "Hands behind your back."I slide down to the floor on my knees and put my hands behind my back as she asks.We were both completely naked, Gabby’s first demand having been to take off our clothes as soon as we shut the door. The cool air felt delicious on my skin, causing goosebumps to rise on my arms and my nipples started to pebble.She comes closer so she's standing right in front of me and puts one hand under my chin until my head is tilted up to her.She's looking down at me with maybe the most domineering gaze she's ever given me, licking her lips lightly. "Such a good girl, baby. You look very sexy on your knees.”“I've been thinking about this since I saw you," she says as she circles me until she's standing behind my body with her hands sitting lightly on my shoulders.I can feel her body heat behind me but keep my eyes
Chapter 42: Gaining WitnessesAs the morning sun gently filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the room, Gabby and I sat at the kitchen table of my mother’s house, the day looming ahead of us as we struggled to make a difficult decision.The house had been a mess when we had arrived early in the morning, but Gabby and I had worked tirelessly to clean up all the broken shards and cleared the room of any debris. It looked spotless now, but several things needed to be disposed off since they had been broken beyond repair.The broken glass shards had made me aware of the fragile bonds that bound us together as family. Some bonds when broken, remained shattered forever. There was no way of joining them back together, no matter how hard we tried.The weight of the previous day's events still hung heavy in the air, despite the temporary relief we felt knowing my brother was behind bars for now and my mother was in recovery. But Jordan’s forceful encounter had left me shake
Chapter 43: A Mother’s LoveAs Gabby and I made our way through the bustling corridors of the hospital, I couldn’t help the sense of apprehension gnawed at my insides.With each step, I couldn't shake the feeling that our discussion with my mother would be anything but easy.But as we reached her room, Gabby turned to me with a sympathetic smile."I'll wait outside, Kyra," she offered, her voice gentle with understanding. "I don't want to disturb your time with your mother. Just let me know if you need anything."I nodded gratefully, touched by Gabby's thoughtfulness. With a reassuring smile, I stepped into the room, steeling myself for the difficult chat ahead.As I entered the room, the sight of my mother lying in the hospital bed sent a pang of sorrow coursing through my heart.She looked so frail and vulnerable, a far cry from the strong woman I knew her to be.But as soon as she caught sight of me, tears welled in her eyes, and she reached out for me with trembling hands."Kyra,"

Chapter 57: Epilogue5 years later… I stirred from my slumber as soft lips pressed against mine, gently rousing me from sleep. Of course, it was Gabby, my loving wife, showering me with morning kisses.Blinking sleepily, I felt a flutter of excitement in my chest, knowing that today held a special significance.Gabby's voice, warm and playful, filled the room as she whispered, "Do you remember what today is, love?"I feigned ignorance, a mischievous smile tugging at the corners of my lips."Hmm, let me think," I replied, pretending to rack my brain for the answer.“Really now?” She smirked, her eyes glinting with mischief. “Then let me help you remember.”Her hands that had been resting on my chest, slowly made their way down my body, before she lifted up the white silk night dress that I was wearing and her hands made their way to my womanhood, without the barrier of an underwear.“Look who’s been playing naughty.” She whispered against my ear before she bit down lightly on my lobe,
Chapter 56: Honeymoon BlissThe next day, we arrived at the Lakeside Bliss Resort for our official honeymoon, and the first thing that caught my eye was the mesmerizing view of the shimmering water stretching out before us.The resort was nestled amidst lush greenery, with tall trees swaying gently in the breeze, creating a tranquil atmosphere that instantly made me feel at peace.Walking hand in hand with my new wife, Gabby, we followed the winding path that led us through the resort grounds.The air was filled with the sweet scent of roses, their delicate petals in full bloom, adding a touch of romance to the already fascinating surroundings.As we approached the main building, I couldn't help but marvel at its grandeur.The architecture was elegant yet understated, blending seamlessly with the natural beauty of the landscape. The entrance was adorned with intricate carvings and adorned with vibrant flowers, welcoming us with open arms.Inside, we were greeted by friendly staff that
Chapter 55: Justice ServedI sat on the porch swing with Gabby, the weight of the past few weeks seemed to lift off our shoulders as we watched the videos of our wedding going viral on the internet.The news of Jordan's arrest had spread like wildfire through our small town, and while it brought relief, it also brought a new wave of gossip and judgment. People whispered behind our backs, casting a shadow over our family name."Can you believe it, Kyra?" Gabby sighed, her voice heavy with exhaustion. "I never thought we'd see the day when helping another woman walking out of an abusive relationship would be termed ‘none of our business and ‘we should’ve stayed out of their personal life’."I shook my head, the disbelief still lingering."I know, it's like something out of a movie.” I sighed, closing my phone. “But it's over now, and we can move on. Jordan got the punishment he deserved and Cathy is now free of his abuse. Justice was served."Gabby nodded, her eyes scanning the street f
Chapter 54: Revelations of the Past Part 2The gasps from the gathered crowd echoed in my ears, each one a painful reminder of the betrayal that had unfolded before us.I watched in disbelief as Cathy's father stood there, his face a mask of shock and horror.The disclosure that he had accepted money in exchange for his daughter's hand in marriage hung heavy in the air, casting a shadow over the sanctity of our union.Cathy's voice trembled as she turned to her father, her eyes brimming with tears."Is it true?" she whispered, her voice barely above a whisper. "Did you sell me off like that?"The silence that followed was deafening, broken only by the ragged sound of Cathy's breaths.My heart ached for her, for the pain and betrayal she must be feeling in this moment of reckoning. But Jordan's cruel words cut through the silence like a knife, his accusations casting doubt upon everything we thought we knew.“Of course he did! He took the money like a beggar even though you refused to
Chapter 53: Revelations of the Past Part 1As the tension in the room thickened, I could feel my heart pounding against my ribcage. My eyes darted between Cathy, Jordan, and the rest of the stunned guests.Cathy's attempt to restrain Jordan only seemed to fuel his rage further.I could see the fear in her eyes as she reached out to him, her hand trembling. But when he felt her touch, he jerked his hand away as if he was disgusted by her, before he gripped her arm tightly when she attempted to reach for him yet again."Stop it, Jordan!" I screamed, my voice echoing through the room.But he seemed oblivious to my pleas, his grip tightening on Cathy's arm as he shoved her away.My stomach churned as I watched her fall to the floor, cradling her swollen belly. Panic washed over me at the sight of her clutching her pregnant stomach.My mind raced as I struggled to comprehend the horror unfolding before me, even as several gasps sounded from all over the room.How could Jordan be so cruel,
Chapter 52: InterruptionsAs I stood at the entrance of the aisle, my heart fluttered with nervous anticipation.My mother, her arm linked with mine, guided me forward, her reassuring presence grounding me amidst the whirlwind of emotions.A soft music began to fill the air, signaling the start of my walk down the aisle.As I walked, I stole a glance at Gabby, radiant in her wedding gown, being escorted by her father.Seeing her by my side eased the knots of anxiety in my stomach, her smile offering me solace and strength.I couldn't help but marvel at her beauty, a vision of grace and love that took my breath away.The aisle seemed to stretch on forever, each step bringing me closer to the moment when our lives would intertwine in matrimony.Surrounded by the love and support of our friends, family, and even some familiar faces from our hometown, I felt a surge of gratitude for the journey that had led us here.As we reached the altar, Gabby and I exchanged a tender glance, our hands
Chapter 51: Something Old, Something NewI slipped into the ivory gown, the delicate fabric cascading around me like a cloud. It was everything I had ever dreamed of - elegant, timeless, and utterly perfect.As I gazed at my reflection in the mirror, I felt a lump form in my throat.This was it, the moment I had been waiting for my whole life.“Mom?” I asked my mother stood beside me, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears. “What do you think?”She reached out, her hands trembling slightly as she adjusted the veil on my head. "You look stunning, Kyra," she whispered, her voice thick with emotion.Tears welled up in my own eyes as I looked at her."Thank you, Mom," I murmured, my heart overflowing with love for her.Despite everything we had been through, she was still my mother and a part of me would always love and forgive her no matter what we went through. And now, she was the only family member I had. Kyle was now rotting in prison after the judge had declared him guilty and all th
Chapter 50: Worst Mistake?The days leading up to the wedding were a whirlwind of activity, as Angie, Rika, Gabby, and I threw ourselves into preparations with full force.With their help, Gabby and I managed to get everything in order, from choosing the guest list to the card and the flowers.As we sat together, poring over the guest list, Angie and Rika voiced their concerns about inviting the whole town to the wedding."Are you sure this is a good idea?" Angie asked, her brow furrowed with worry. "There are still several people who don't like you, Kyra."Gabby smiled confidently, her eyes sparkling with determination."Those who want to come to the wedding will come, regardless of what others think," she replied, her voice filled with confidence."And besides, our wedding will be broadcast live on TV, thanks to our fame in the ballet world. People from all around the world will be watching. And I have a feeling that the town will be watching as well. Whether they like Kyra or not,
