As I came to, I found myself in a dark, damp cellar. I was lying on a cold, concrete floor, my head throbbing with pain. I tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over me, forcing me back down.

"Tristan?" I called out, my voice shaking. "Tristan, are you there?"

There was no answer. I was alone.

I slowly got to my feet, my eyes adjusting to the darkness. I was in a small, windowless room, with stone walls and a low ceiling. A single, flickering light bulb cast eerie shadows on the walls.

I stumbled forward, my hands outstretched in front of me. I felt my way along the wall, searching for a door. But there was none. I was trapped.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps outside the room. Heavy, deliberate footsteps. I froze, my heart racing with fear.

The door creaked open, and Aurelia stood in the doorway, a cold smile on her face.

"Welcome, Valerie," she said, her voice dripping with malice. "I see you're awake. Good. We have a lot to discuss."

I tried to speak, but my voice was barely a

    "Valerie, please," Jordan said, his eyes pleading. "I know I hurt you, but I love you. I want another chance to make it right."I shook my head, feeling a surge of annoyance. "You want another chance? After everything you put me through? You cheated on me, lied to me, and nearly destroyed me. No, Jordan. I'm not interested."Tristan stepped forward, his eyes flashing with anger. "Jordan, leave her alone. She's made it clear she doesn't want to go back to you."Jordan turned on Tristan, his face twisted with rage. "Stay out of this, Tristan. This is between me and Valerie."Tristan stood his ground. "I'm not going anywhere, Jordan. And neither are you, until you leave Valerie alone."Jordan snarled, but turned back to me, his eyes pleading. "Valerie, please. Just listen to me. I'll do anything to make it right."I stared at him, dumbfounded, as he continued to beg and plead. How could he possibly think I would take him back after everything he had done?"Jordan, stop," I said, my voice

    I sat there, frozen in time, as the minutes ticked by. My phone lay on the floor, a constant reminder of the news I had just received. Elena, my stepmother, was gone. I couldn't believe it. I slowly got up and walked into my room, my mind racing with thoughts and emotions.I couldn't sleep that night, my mind was a mess. I kept thinking about Elena, and Tristan, and the conversation we had earlier. I felt guilty for not being able to mourn Elena's death properly. I should be feeling sad, but instead, I was feeling numb.The next morning, I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. I hesitated for a moment before answering it."Hello?" I said, my voice barely above a whisper."Valerie, it's Aurelia," the voice on the other end said. Aurelia, my stepsister. We had never gotten along, but I never thought she would accuse me of something so heinous."What do you want, Aurelia?" I asked, my mind racing with possibilities."You know exactly what I want," she said, her voice cold and hard. "

    I stood my ground, my eyes locked on Jordan's. "I'm going to find him," I repeated. "I'm going to find Tristan, no matter what."Jordan's face twisted in anger, his eyes flashing with a fierce determination. "You're making a mistake, Valerie," he said.

And then, her gaze dropped to my stomach. A sly smile spread across her face, and she let out a low, menacing chuckle."Ah, Valerie," she purred. "I see you're carrying a little secret. A tiny life, growing inside you. How quaint."Jordan and I exchanged a shocked glance. How did she know? I had barely begun to show, and only Jordan and I were aware of the pregnancy.

    As we drove away from the house, the tension in the air was palpable. I could feel Jordan's eyes on me, his gaze burning with intensity. I knew he was still upset with me for going to the house alone, but I also knew he was relieved that I was safe."Jordan, I'm sorry," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "I know I shouldn't have gone there alone. But I just needed to see it for myself. I needed to know that Tristan was really gone."Jordan's eyes softened, and he reached out to take my hand.
