The next day, Kaylar reluctantly pulled herself out of bed and made her way into the bathroom to freshen up. As she looked at her reflection in the mirror, her eyes were bloodshot and swollen, adorned with prominent eye bags and dark circles. It was evident that she hadn't closed her eyes all night.

After hastily getting dressed in one of Mia's loose gowns, Kaylar joined her friend in the car as Mia drove her back to the mansion. The drive was filled with an unnerving silence, with Kaylar appearing lifeless and dull. Mia couldn't help but notice that her usually vibrant friend was nothing more than a shadow of herself.

As they arrived at the mansion, Mia gently tapped Kaylar on the shoulder, breaking the oppressive quietness. "We are here," she whispered. Kaylar stepped out of the car and made her way into the mansion, with Mia following closely behind. The usually bright and lively mansion seemed to reflect the heavy news of Wayne's death, shrouded in an atmosphere of gloom.

    As Kaylar was pushed away in the stretcher and towards the direction of the ICU, Mia dropped her head in despair. She took in a deep breath, then turned to Emilia. "Auntie, you have to get some rest now. You heard the doctor, Kaylar will be fine," Mia said, hoping to reassure her.Emilia raised her head, her eyes filled with unshed tears. "It's fine, I'll stay and watch her. I won't leave," she replied, determination evident in her voice. She was determined to stay by Kaylar's side until she woke up.In the face of Emilia's stubbornness, Mia didn't know what to do. So she decided to try out her last option.

Kaylar lay there, unmoving, her fragile body trapped between life and death. Tubes and wires connected her to various monitors, measuring her fading heartbeat and shallow breaths. The flickering fluorescent lights cast an ethereal glow upon her tear-stained face.As the night stretched on, Kaylar's consciousness drifted into a world of dreams. Within this realm, she found herself standing in a meadow, where the scent of blooming flowers danced in the air. A gentle breeze travelled through the tall grass, whispering secrets that only those immersed in dreams could hear.A figur

    "You'll have to leave the mansion by midnight," an eerie voice sounded from the phone, its words sending a chill down Asherly's spine. She tightly clutched the phone in her hand, her heart racing with fear and uncertainty. The voice belonged to a mysterious caller, and this was the second time they had reached out to her, filling her with a sense of dread."I can't leave the mansion, I'm under house arrest," Asherly whispered into the phone, her voice barely audible. She knew the consequences of defying the strict orders that confined her within the walls of the grand estate. Panic seeped into her voice, revealing the fear that gripped her tightly."Just get ready by midnight. I'll get someone to take you out of the mansion," the voice responded, its tone both urgent and comforting.

    Weeks passed and Kaylar's condition only worsened. She had been discharged from the hospital, and she moved in with her mom, who could better take care of her. Unfortunately, Kaylar fell into prenatal depression, unable to come to terms with Wayne's death and the loss of one of her babies.One day, as Kaylar sat alone in her room, her mom, Emilia, knocked on the door gently. "Kaylar, can I come in?" she asked with concern in her voice.Kaylar sighed and replied, "Sure, Mom. Come in."Emilia entered the room and sat down next to Kaylar on the bed. "Honey, I can see you're really struggling right now. It breaks my heart to see you like this. I know you're blaming yourself for what happened, but it wasn't your fault. None of this is."Tears welled up in Kaylar's eyes as she looked at her mom. "Mom, I can't help but feel responsible. If I hadn't asked Wayne to come to the ultrasound, he would still be alive. And if I had been able to protect my baby, maybe he or she would still be here to

    Wayne left Jason's room, his mind in turmoil. The weight of his mother’s 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. “Get Meghan out of there,” he ordered, his voice cold and detached. Without waiting for a response, he made his way back to Kaylar’s 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. Wayne’s mother-in-law was seated beside her, but Wayne could see the exhaustion in her eyes. “You should go home and rest,” Wayne told her gently. She looked at him with a mix of concern and understanding before nodding. “Call me if anything changes,” 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, Wayne’s 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, Chad’s voice interrupted his thoughts. “Wayne,” Chad said softly as he entered the room, his face grim. “Jason’s just been rolled out of the emergency room.”Wayne 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.

He knew this was the endgame—Jason 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 Jason’s eyes now—only a cold resolve. Wayne barely had time to react as Jason fired. The bullet grazed Wayne’s shoulder, but he didn’t falter. He fired back, the shot hitting Jason squarely in the

    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.Jason’s 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. “You’re surprisingly calm, Kaylar,” he said, a smirk playing on his lips. “I suppose you’re still holding on to hope that your precious Wayne will come to your rescue.”Kaylar met his gaze, refusi

    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 city—a 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."Wayne’s voice crackled in her ear, “Stay alert. If anything seems off, we’re pulling you out.”Kaylar 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

    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. Jason’s 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. “Everything is set, sir,” the operative said, placing the documents on the desk. Jason’s gaze flickered over the papers, his smile widening. “Excellent. Let’s proceed

    But instead of answering, Jason’s 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! You’re hurting me!"Jason’s expression remained cold, his eyes void of the lustful affection he usually displayed towards her. "You think this is a game, don’t 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, you’re 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. Asherly’s body hit the ground hard, skidding to a stop near the wall. She lay there for a moment, dazed, before looki

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. "She’s figuring you out," she said with a soft laugh. "Kaylin, it’s dada. Say dada.""Dada," Kaylin echoed, her voice small and uncertain but filled with an unmistakable warmth.Wayne’s 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. "I’m back, Kaylin," he whispered, his voice hoarse with emotion. "Dada’s 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 lotion—it was all so over
