hey Lovlies, can you guess what the new subplot will be? heheđ you'll find out soonđ¤
Kaylar waited until Wayne drifted back to sleep, standing silently by his side. Her fingers traced the lines on his hand as he lay in the hospital bed. Though his eyes were closed, the steady rise and fall of his chest was a fragile reminder of life, a small glimmer of hope in the midst of her overwhelming fear.She had been there for hours, watching over him, clinging to any sign that he might recover. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Kaylar gently squeezed Wayneâs hand and reluctantly let go. "I'll be back soon," she whispered, knowing full well he couldnât hear her. She needed answersâanswers that only one person could provide. With one last lingering glance at her husband, she turned and made her way to the top floor of the hospital.The elevator ride seemed to stretch endlessly, the hum of the machinery a backdrop to the torrent of thoughts swirling in her mind. When the doors finally opened, she stepped out into a long, polished hallway. At the end of it was the office
The next morning came with a gentle light filtering through the hospital blinds, marking a new beginning. Wayne had been cleared for discharge, and the atmosphere was lighter, almost hopeful. Chad arrived early, handling the paperwork and making sure everything was in order. The process was quick, efficient, and soon, Wayne was ready to leave the confines of the hospital that had both imprisoned him and saved him.As they exited Wayne's ward, Chad walked ahead, his usual calm demeanour masking the myriad of emotions swirling within him. Wayne, though still weak, looked significantly better than he had the previous day. The colour had returned to his face, and there was a hint of vitality in his eyes that had been missing for far too long.They reached the elevator, and Chad pressed the button to go down. The doors slid open, and they stepped inside, the small space filled with an odd mixture of tension and relief. Kaylar stood close to Wayne, her hand never leaving his arm, as if she
Wayneâs heart swelled with emotion as Kaylin began to explore his face with her hands, her fingers tracing his features with the careful curiosity of a child. She touched his nose, his lips, his eyes, all the while staring at him as if committing every detail to memory. Wayne looked up at Kaylar, his eyes filled with wonder and a hint of confusion. Kaylar just smiled, shrugging her shoulders slightly. "Sheâs figuring you out," she said with a soft laugh. "Kaylin, itâs dada. Say dada.""Dada," Kaylin echoed, her voice small and uncertain but filled with an unmistakable warmth.Wayneâs throat tightened as he choked back tears. He had missed so much of her life, and yet here she was, in his arms, accepting him without hesitation. "Iâm back, Kaylin," he whispered, his voice hoarse with emotion. "Dadaâs back."He lifted her gently into his arms, holding her close as he rained kisses on her chubby little hands. The softness of her skin, the sweet scent of her baby lotionâit was all so over
But instead of answering, Jasonâs hand shot up, gripping the back of her head with a force that made her gasp. He yanked her hair back, causing her to cry out in pain, the playful atmosphere shattered in an instant."Jason! What the hell has gotten into you?" Asherly screamed, struggling against his hold. "Let me go! Youâre hurting me!"Jasonâs expression remained cold, his eyes void of the lustful affection he usually displayed towards her. "You think this is a game, donât you?" he hissed, pulling her hair harder, eliciting another cry of pain. "You think you can keep playing around while everything falls apart?""Let me go, youâre sick!" Asherly shouted, clawing at his hand, but Jason only tightened his grip."Let you go?" Jason echoed mockingly. "Fine." Without warning, he stood up, still holding her by the hair, and flung her across the room with a merciless force. Asherlyâs body hit the ground hard, skidding to a stop near the wall. She lay there for a moment, dazed, before looki
The following days at Wayne and Kaylar’s home were filled with a delicate balance of normalcy and tension. The welcome-back dinner had been a success, and the joy of Wayne's return had infused their lives with a renewed sense of hope. Yet, beneath the surface, unspoken worries lingered.Wayne had begun to reintegrate into his daily routine, though his role in the company was still on hold. Kaylar continued to manage everything, her resolve unwavering despite the challenges. Chad's confession hung heavily in her mind, an unresolved issue that gnawed at her even as she tried to focus on her family and their new beginning.One bright morning, Kaylar found herself in the living room, her gaze drifting to the family photographs on the wall. Each frame told a story of happier times—Wayne and her smiling at various events, their
The city was bathed in the golden hues of the late afternoon sun, its bustling streets unaware of the turmoil brewing behind the scenes. In a sleek, high-rise office, Jason sat behind his desk, his demeanour as cold and calculating as ever. His mind was focused, not on immediate confrontation, but on a strategy that would create chaos without direct conflict. Jasonâs office was immaculate, a testament to his obsessive need for control. The room was filled with the soft hum of air conditioning and the occasional click of his keyboard as he worked on his laptop. A sinister smile played at the corners of his mouth as he prepared for the next phase of his plan. He was interrupted by a knock at the door. One of his trusted operatives entered, carrying a stack of documents. Jason looked up, his eyes narrowing with interest. âEverything is set, sir,â the operative said, placing the documents on the desk. Jasonâs gaze flickered over the papers, his smile widening. âExcellent. Letâs proceed
Kaylar stood at the edge of the deserted parking lot, her breath visible in the cool evening air. The location Jason had chosen was far from the cityâa quiet, industrial area that seemed abandoned. The sun had dipped below the horizon, leaving only the faint glow of streetlights to cut through the gathering darkness. She checked her watch: 6:10 PM. Her nerves were frayed, but she kept her expression calm, glancing around for any sign of movement. Chad and Wayne were positioned nearby, monitoring her every move through the tracking device and earpiece she had concealed. She whispered into the earpiece, "Everything looks quiet... too quiet."Wayneâs voice crackled in her ear, âStay alert. If anything seems off, weâre pulling you out.âKaylar nodded slightly, trying to steady her racing heart. The air was thick with anticipation as she waited, every minute feeling like an eternity. Suddenly, the distant rumble of an engine reached her ears, and she turned to see a car approaching from t
Kaylar was dragged through the crumbling hallways of the abandoned building, her heels clicking against the dusty concrete. The men holding her were rough, their grip like iron clamps on her arms. She forced herself to stay calm, knowing that the internal tracking device embedded in her skin was still operational. Wayne would come. He had to.Jasonâs men shoved her into a large, dimly lit room at the heart of the building. The walls were lined with rusted pipes and broken windows, allowing beams of moonlight to pierce through the darkness. The place reeked of decay, a fitting backdrop for whatever twisted plan Jason had in mind.Jason followed them in, his footsteps echoing ominously as he approached her. His eyes glinted with malicious intent as he looked down at her, bound and vulnerable. âYouâre surprisingly calm, Kaylar,â he said, a smirk playing on his lips. âI suppose youâre still holding on to hope that your precious Wayne will come to your rescue.âKaylar met his gaze, refusi
Wayne left Jason's room, his mind in turmoil. The weight of his motherâs venomous words lingered, but he forced himself to focus on the present. As he stepped into the hallway, he called out to the police officers. âGet Meghan out of there,â he ordered, his voice cold and detached. Without waiting for a response, he made his way back to Kaylarâs room. Inside the ward, it was quiet, almost eerily so. Kaylar lay peacefully in her bed, her breathing steady, though her face still showed signs of the ordeal she had endured. Wayneâs mother-in-law was seated beside her, but Wayne could see the exhaustion in her eyes. âYou should go home and rest,â Wayne told her gently. She looked at him with a mix of concern and understanding before nodding. âCall me if anything changes,â she said softly before gathering her things and leaving the room. Now it was just Wayne, Kaylar, and Chad, who had just entered the room. Wayne could feel the chaos in his mind, the events of the day overwhelming hi
The hours dragged on in the quiet, sterile corridors of the hospital. Wayne paced back and forth, his mind heavy with worry for Kaylar. When the doors of the emergency room finally swung open, and she was rolled out, Wayneâs heart lurched in his chest. He immediately stood up, his body tensed with anxiety. Kaylar was pale, her eyes closed, and tubes were attached to her, but she was alive. That was all that mattered. Wayne followed the gurney as it was rolled into her ward. He stayed by her side, holding her hand, his eyes never leaving her face. She looked so fragile lying there, a stark contrast to the fierce, determined woman he knew and loved. But as much as he wanted to stay, Chadâs voice interrupted his thoughts. âWayne,â Chad said softly as he entered the room, his face grim. âJasonâs just been rolled out of the emergency room.âWayne felt a wave of conflicted emotions wash over him. He glanced back at Kaylar, her mother now sitting beside her, watching over her with the same
Before she could protest, Wayne dashed out of the building, his footsteps echoing through the empty corridors as he chased after Jason. The night was cool, the air thick with tension as Wayne sprinted into the darkness, his heart pounding with a mixture of adrenaline and fear. He knew this was the endgameâJason had to be stopped, no matter the cost.Jason, injured and desperate, limped ahead, the pain in his leg slowing him down. He glanced back, seeing Wayne closing in, and gritted his teeth. He had always prided himself on staying one step ahead, but now he was cornered, his escape routes dwindling. As he stumbled into a nearby alleyway, he knew he had to make a final stand.Wayne burst into the alley just as Jason turned to face him, a gun clutched in his hand. There was no hesitation in Jasonâs eyes nowâonly a cold resolve. Wayne barely had time to react as Jason fired. The bullet grazed Wayneâs shoulder, but he didnât falter. He fired back, the shot hitting Jason squarely in the
