ELODIE“Ducky, can you hear me?” A loud, impatient voice rang through the air.Despite the background noise, I recognized the voice immediately. There was only one person in the world who called me that.“Keep your voice down; you might wake her,” another voice muttered, slightly softer than the first.Beep!Beep!The beeping sound pierced through me. My head hurts. Every breath I took made me feel like my lungs were blocked.It hurt so much.I tried moving my fingers, but it was tough. I noticed that I couldn't move any part of my body.“Ducky, can you hear me?” The first voice repeated itself.Hearing his voice made me want to talk to him. “Tedros?” My lips moved on their own, and surprisingly, it didn't hurt anymore.“Ducky, you're awake.” He sounded pained, and I felt a hand on mine.I wanted to open my eyes and look at him. He came; he came for me. My head throbbed as I tried to remember all that happened.“What happened to Beatrice?” he asked almost immediately.Surprised, I man

ELODIEMy eyes rounded as I stared at him. His hair was longer than usual, and it poured over his face. I could barely breathe as I held his gaze. I could feel tears filling my eyes. Although I have tried to deny my feelings for him, They came rushing back as soon as I saw him. I still love this man. I loved him, and I have missed him so much. All these years of asking for him had been fruitless, but he was in front of me now, and I wasn't going to let him leave. “What are you doing here?!” He demanded it, his hard voice pulling me out of my trance.“Tedros,” I called out, my hand reaching out to stroke his face.He flinched, his eyes widening, before he pulled away. I felt my heart clench. I reminded myself that we were nothing but friends when we separated. I was expecting him to rise and perhaps walk away, but he did none of them. He just pinned me down, staring at me like I was a snack.“What?” I managed to ask a question.“You look different.” He blurted it out, surprising me.

“What's going on here?” I asked.Both heads turned to look at me, and the nurse rushed over to me. “Ms. Campbell, he had been like that since morning.” My eyes met Tedros, and he had a betrayed look on his face. He stared at me like I had just betrayed him. Well, I betrayed him just because I took him to the hospital to check his body.“You better hide your men.” Tedros piped. “Because if you don't and I find the one who shot me with a tranquilizer, I am going to kill him.”“No, you won’t,” I responded, turning my gaze to the nurse. “Go on. I will take it from here.”The nurse nodded before leaving us. Tedros folded his arms and stared at me as I walked over to his bed. I could feel that he had something to say to me.“Say it,” I muttered.He crooked his head to the side, his eyes squinting. “Everyone here seems to be listening to you.”I placed the lunch box on the bed and grabbed the little table that was meant for patients. I placed it on the bed in front of him and unlocked the

TEDROSSitting on the couch next to the fireplace, I glanced around the house. I had entered her house earlier but hadn't been in the room we were in now. It resembled a secret hideout, complete with a kitchen, a cinema, and a bedroom. From my seat, I could see every other part of the space. Curiosity filled me as I wondered if this was her secret place and why she had brought me here.Ducky stood by the small kitchen, her back facing me, as she prepared the coffee. The dim lighting reflected off her dark hair, and I noticed she still held her head high like a princess.She had been like that, always excluding confidence wherever she went, and that was the one thing that I liked about her. "I'm done," she announced, turning to face me."Okay," I replied, looking away since she had caught me staring."Here's your coffee," she said, appearing next to me with a steaming mug.I took it from her, murmuring thanks. She nodded before taking a seat opposite me, raising her mug to her lips.

ELODIEThe Vinters fell silent as soon as I finished speaking. Cole had the most expressive reaction, his jaw dropping in shock."You're not joking, are you?" Belle inquired, her voice tinged with disbelief.Shaking my head, I replied. “I am not; I am dead serious.” Yet Belle didn’t seem to believe me; she leaned in closer to me, peering at me. “We are really getting married, and you all are invited.”“Hmm. You don’t seem to be lying.” Belle said this before pulling back and leaning against the sofa. “So, you both are getting married, huh?”“Yes, we are.” I clarified once more. Mrs. Vinters opened her mouth to speak but hesitated, sighing instead. "I won't get in your way if you want to marry my son. However, I am curious to know what made you want to marry him. I have no idea how you managed to convince him, but I must remind you that, although he agreed to marry you, he has another person in his heart."I held her gaze steadily. Of course, I knew about Tedros's late wife before I ma
