The One He Let Go In the Lion’s den
KellyHarper finally opened her eyes. The moment her lashes fluttered and she let out a soft, drowsy sound, Aiden and I practically collapsed in relief. "Mom?" Harper’s small voice croaked. "I’m here, baby." I brushed her hair back gently, forcing a smile even as my heart clenched. "You scared me." Aiden let out a choked laugh, rubbing his eyes. "Us. You scared us." Ever since Aiden and Harper united, and I revealed to her that he was her brother, Harper had been happier than ever.Harper blinked at him, confused. "Did I do something bad?" I laughed softly, my throat tight. "No, sweetheart. You just need to rest, okay?" She gave a tiny nod before closing her eyes again, exhaustion still weighing her down. But she was awake. She was okay.The doctor checked on her, reassuring us that she would be fine as long as she continued her medication. By morning, she was alert enough to complain about the hospital food, and I knew she was truly back to herself. The second we were di

AndersonKate sat across from me in the living room, her arms folded, her expression unreadable. It was a messed up week for me, Mom’s disappearance, Ava not talking to me, the house was empty, and kate, I finally honored her invitation.The weight of everything pressed down on my chest like a ton of bricks. I couldn’t stay silent anymore. "Did you ever love me, Kate?" Her eyes flickered, but she didn’t answer. Instead, she let out a breathy scoff, crossing her legs. "That’s a loaded question, Anderson." I clenched my jaw. "It shouldn’t be." She gave me a look, one I’d seen too many times before. Evasive. Like she was choosing her next words carefully, not out of love, but out of self-preservation. "Why are we even having this conversation?" she muttered. "Is this about Kelly? About Evelyn? You’re suddenly having a moral awakening because your ex-wife is making you feel guilty?" Her words were meant to provoke me, but I didn’t take the bait. "I’m asking you a simple q

KellyI sat at the head of the long glass table, fingers resting lightly against the smooth surface as my fellow board members exchanged knowing glances. They had been waiting for this moment, waiting for me to finally return to my seat after weeks of absence so they could pounce.Congresswoman or not, power was a fragile thing in a room full of men who thrived on watching a woman fall. "Kendra, you’ve been absent for too long," one of them said smoothly, leaning forward with a practiced frown of concern. "It’s become quite a... topic of discussion." "People are talking," another chimed in. "Your ability to lead has been questioned." I forced a calm smile, though my blood boiled beneath my skin. "I wasn’t aware I had to ask permission to be a mother before being a congresswoman." A few of them looked shocked, not expecting me to hit back so quickly. "Of course not," the first man said, lips twitching. "But as you know, this position requires constant attention. Absences lea

KellyI barely took three steps outside before the chaos erupted. The moment the front door cracked open, camera flashes exploded in my face, blinding and relentless. Voices clashed over one another, reporters shouting questions I didn’t have answers to, their microphones thrust forward like weapons. "Kelly! Is it true you were married to Anderson Grant for ten years?""Kelly, did you blackmail him into the marriage?""How does Aiden fit into all this?I clenched my jaw, forcing my expression to remain neutral. My heart pounded, but I wouldn’t give them the satisfaction of seeing me crumble. With my head down, I pushed forward, my driver already opening the car door. Hands reached out, some brushing against me, others shoving recorders too close to my face. I barely made it into the car before the doors slammed shut. The driver didn’t wait for instructions, he knew what to do. As the engine roared to life, more flashes burst through the tinted windows, desperate to capture my ev

AdrianThe moment I could walk without feeling like my stitches were pulling apart, I left my hospital room. Sitting around, waiting for answers, had never been my style. If I wanted to understand Evelyn’s true connection to Davis, I had to start digging. I was supposed to meet up with Susan last week, but I couldn’t due to my injury, so today I decided to take matters into my own hand.I made my way to the hospital’s archives, it was one of the oldest hospitals in D.C. A place most doctors rarely had a reason to visit, so I took that as an opportunity. As someone who had spent years working in hospitals before I got mine, I knew how much information could be buried in patient records—names, dates, relationships no one thought twice about at the time. I sneaked into the private room, make sure nobody saw me enter.After logging into the old database, I started searching. Evelyn, Davis. - Any shared medical history.I cross-referenced hospital bills, patient visits, anything that

AndersonI had expected today to be exhausting, but I hadn’t expected to be sitting in a courtroom, waiting for a woman who lived for drama. The judge was already irritated, tapping his fingers on the desk impatiently. My lawyer checked his watch for the third time in ten minutes. The opposing lawyer barely masked his frustration, shifting through papers as if the delay was a personal offense. Kate was late. Of course, she was. I exhaled sharply, running a hand through my hair as I leaned back in my chair. It wasn’t that I had expected Kate to be eager about finalizing our divorce, but I had expected her to at least show up on time.Or maybe that was my mistake, by expecting anything from her at all.I adjusted my tie, ignoring the murmurs of the few reporters seated at the back of the courtroom. ‘The divorce of Anderson Grant and Kate Brook’ just like the bloggers stated, was making headlines. The media had been circling over the news ever since Kelly’s identity had been leak

KellyThey wanted a villain, and they had chosen me. Hadn’t I suffered enough?Every headline, every news station, every gossip blog had my name plastered across their screens like a public execution. “Kelly Brook: Liar, Cheater, Gold Digger?”“Former Anchor Caught in Scandal, Did She Manipulate Her Ex-Husband for Wealth?” “Citizens Protest Against Kelly Brook—Demand She Resign.”I wanted to laugh at the absurdity of it all. Cheater? Gold digger? My undoing was keeping Anderson and my marriage a secret for ten years. Because if only they knew…The money, the investments, the career sacrifices I made for Anderson. How I had stayed in a marriage that barely deserved to be called one. And now, suddenly, I was the woman who had schemed her way into wealth and power? I refused to let them paint me as something I wasn’t. I wasn’t a victim, but I’m sure as hell I’m not a villain. ……The first few protests had started online—faceless trolls, edited videos, twisted narratives. But tod

Adrian Kelly’s voice was steady over the phone, but I could hear the exhaustion beneath it. "I’m fine, Adrian. I’m coping," she said, her tone low. I didn’t believe her. The media crisis around her had only gotten worse. Protesters outside her office, articles tearing apart her past, accusations flying without a shred of proof. I ran a hand over my face, gripping the phone tighter. "And the kids?" “Harper and Aiden are doing well. I make sure of it," she replied, the a pause. Then she exhaled softly. "You don’t have to worry about me, Adrian." She was lying. But pressing her wouldn’t help. My fingers hovered over my notes, eyes landing on the old photograph I had found. Evelyn, Davis and a woman who resembled Kelly. My mind had been circling the same question for hours, was this really Kelly’s mother? Was there something she didn’t know? I wanted to ask her. I almost did. But something stopped me. If I was right, this might break her even more. Instead, I sai

The One He Let Go Call 911
Kelly Clara’s scream ripped through the warehouse, raw and filled with fury. “CALL 911!” Her voice was hoarse, shaking with unrestrained rage as she clutched Davis. Adrian kept his gun raised, watching her carefully, but Lucian hadn’t moved. And me? I was still trying to breathe. Still trying to process everything she had just said. Davis groaned weakly beneath her, his body barely twitching. His hand, shaking and slick with blood, tried to move, reaching for Clara. His fingers barely brushed against her arm, and his lips parted, voice so faint I almost didn’t hear it. “C-Clara…” It was a whisper, but it was loud enough for anyone to hear. Clara gasped, her anger slightly faltering. She turned toward him, eyes wide with panic, pressing down harder on his wound. “I’m here! I’m right here, Davis. Just, just hold on, okay? I’ll get you out of here, I swear.” Davis’s fingers curled weakly, as if trying to hold onto her, but his movements were sluggish, his body growing l
The One He Let Go A tit for tat
KellyDavis was shot twice. Davis collapsed back again, his body hitting the ground harder than before. A strangled gasp escaped his lips, his hands pressing against his chest where blood was already spreading through his shirt. His breath came in short, desperate gasps, his fingers clawing weakly at the wound as if he could hold the life inside him. I stumbled on the floor, holding my ears, when I lifted my head again, blood had stained my jeans, blood coming from Davis laying beside me.“Davis!” A sharp, familiar voice came through the chaos. I turned sharply, just in time to see a figure burst out of the shadows. Clara? She ran straight to Davis, dropping to her knees beside him. Her hands trembled as she pressed down on his wound, her face pale with panic. “Stay with me,” she pleaded, her voice cracking as she tried to stop the bleeding. “You’re going to be fine. Just breathe, okay?” Davis let out a low, pained groan, his body twitching under her hands. His eyes flutt
The One He Let Go Ultimate face off
Kelly The warehouse was pitch-black, the only source of light coming from the streetlamp outside. I was tired of Davis’s silly games, same pattern, same ways, all he wanted was to lure me to wherever he was and play his stupid games, and I was seriously tired of it. Sparks from the shattered overhead bulb still cracked in the distance, but everything else was still. I pressed myself against the cold concrete floor, my heart hammering in my chest. My eyes struggled to adjust, but all I could make out were shadows shifting in the dark. Somewhere in the distance, my father let out a weak cough. "Dad!" My voice came out hoarse, filled with panic. "kelly," he rasped. ”I’m here"A deep chuckle filled the warehouse, low and full of amusement. He was enjoying this. "Touching," he mocked. "But how long will that last?" A click echoed, a gun being turned on. I barely had time to react before something cold pressed against the back of my head. "Game over, Kelly." I went still. I
The One He Let Go Lights out
Kelly The world had turned against me. Kate had made sure of that. I sat in the living room, staring at the television screen as news anchors dissected every word of her press conference. Every accusation. Every lie. "Did Kelly Brook manipulate her father’s will?" "Could she be hiding him?""And what about the DNA test? Is she even his real daughter?" I tightened my grip on the remote, my fingers trembling. Kate had twisted everything. She didn’t just want to take the inheritance, she wanted to get rid of me. "Kelly." Adrian’s voice pulled me back. I turned. He was standing by the window, his jaw clenched, his posture slightly dull. He had been on the phone for the past hour, making calls, pulling every connection he had. But it wasn’t enough. Nothing was enough. And then, my phone vibrated. I flinched, heart hammering. Unknown number. "Davis." A chuckle. Slow. Taunting.. "You’re running out of time, Kelly."My stomach knotted. "Where is he?" "I love it when
The One He Let Go The press conference
Kelly I had spent my entire life facing cameras. But this was different. This wasn’t a music concert nor a live broadcast. This wasn’t a scandal that would fade in a week. This was war, and the world was watching. The second I stepped outside, hundreds of voices crashed down on me. "Kelly! Did you manipulate your father’s will?" "Why are you avoiding the DNA test?" "Are you even legally entitled to his estate?" Cameras flashed, microphones shoved toward my face, the heat of the spotlights burning into my skin. I kept my face calm, unreadable. But inside? I was boiling. This was exactly what Kate wanted. She wanted me cornered. But I wasn’t going to let her win. I lifted my chin, walking up the stage, my heartbeat steady, my steps measured. Kate was already there, smug, composed, victorious. She wasn’t just enjoying this, she was thriving in it. And in her hand? Lay a white envelope. The DNA test or so…..Kate took the microphone, her expression full of fake sorrow."I
The One He Let Go The betrayal
Kelly I didn’t think Kate could sink any lower. But I should have known better. The second I stepped into the house, exhausted and desperate for a moment to think. The unknown number called and Davis’s voice crackled through my phone. "You might want to turn on the news."A sick feeling twisted in my gut as I grabbed the remote. The second the screen lit up, I knew. Kate was Live on national television. While I was fighting for my life, Kate was organizing a live broadcast.She sat at a pristine white desk, microphone clipped to her expensive blouse, her expression composed, but her words? They were designed to rattle me, and it did."My father is missing. And my sister, Kelly Brook, is hiding him."My stomach dropped. Ever since I became a public figure, right from my singing days to my political career, I never mentioned to the public that I had a twin. It wasn’t public either, because Kate disowned me as her sister, and she never wanted it public either, so why now?The re
The One He Let Go The search
Kelly I wasn’t stupid. I wasn’t about to walk into Davis’s trap alone. But I also knew one thing, if we didn’t find my father fast, Davis would make sure I never saw him alive again. Thinking about it alone, brings me to my knees. Adrian’s grip on the steering wheel was tight as we drove through the streets. His jaw was locked, his eyes hard, watchful. “We need a lead,” I said, barely recognizing my own voice. “Something. Someone. He didn’t just vanish.” Adrian’s fingers drummed against the wheel. Then, he said.“I know a guy.” I exhaled sharply. That was all we needed. ……..The warehouse on the outskirts of town smelled like rust and gasoline. Dim lighting shined overhead, casting long, eerie shadows. And the man tied to the chair in front of us? He was shaking. “C’mon, Paul,” Adrian muttered, crouching down to his level. “You were Davis’s right-hand man for years. You’re telling me you don’t know where he is?” I watched as Adrian became a gangster while interroga
The One He Let Go The phone call
Kelly The waiting room felt like it was closing in on me. The cold, white walls. The sound of fluorescent lights. The lingering scent of antiseptic, none of it felt real. The security footage kept replaying in my head, frame by frame. A man in a hoodie. A wheelchair. My father disappearing into the night, he’s probably not covered. Adrian was pacing beside me, his fists tight at his sides. His face was stone cold, we were waiting for the police, but what would the police do more than tell us to wait. "I should've been here," he muttered. "I should've….." Then my phone buzzed. Unknown Number. My chest tightened. Before I even picked up, I knew. I answered, my voice low, shaking even. "Hello?” For a second, there was nothing. Then—a low dark chuckle. Air left my lungs immediately. That voice…..the voice I had hoped I'd never hear again. Davis….. “Hello, Kelly.” A violent shudder ran through me. Like ice crawling up my spine. My fingers tightened around the phone. "Wher
The One He Let Go Without a trace
Kelly The moment I stepped into my father’s hospital room, I exhaled a breath I didn’t realize I’d been holding. My heart was still hammering from the text, but at least here, inside these four walls, I felt relieved. Or so I thought. But something was wrong. Very, very wrong. The room was too quiet. The sheets on the hospital bed were too smooth. The machines that usually beep softly were off. My stomach twisted. My father was gone. I blinked, my breath catching in my throat. No, that’s not possible, he was here just now. I turned sharply, scanning the room. The IV stand was still there, the pillows were still dented from where he had been lying minutes ago. I took a slow step forward, my mind racing. “Dad?” My voice was hoarse. Nothing. My pulse skyrocketed as my hands trembled at my sides. “Dad?” I called louder this time, my throat tightening. Nothing. Panic clawed its way up my chest, suffocating me. Where the hell was he? I spun on my heel, rushing toward the
