Semua Bab RAGING FLAME: Bab 31 - Bab 40

**Aiden's POV:**The door to Amira's apartment closed behind me with a resounding finality. I walked down the dimly lit hallway, my footsteps echoing in the emptiness, but my mind was anything but quiet. My hand still tingled from the force of the slap, the image of Amira's shocked face seared into my memory. I hadn’t planned on hitting her—I never wanted to hurt her like that—but the anger had surged, uncontrollable, leaving me with only the aftermath of my own impulsive actions.As I got into my car, my hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, knuckles turning white. I was supposed to continue with my work, to keep moving forward as I always did. But my thoughts kept drifting back to her, to that moment in the apartment, to the look in her eyes that was a mixture of hurt and disbelief. I couldn’t shake the guilt gnawing at me, the worry that I had crossed a line I couldn’t uncross. Yet, as much as guilt tugged at my conscience, anger was there, too—fierce, hot, and relentless.How

AmiraMy heart pounded in my chest as I stared at the picture on the wall with the words "Be Strong" boldly printed underneath. I drew in a shaky breath, my resolve hardening as I processed the chaos that had become my life. For a moment, I felt a flicker of hope, a sense of purpose that I hadn’t felt in months. I knew I had to act—no more running, no more hiding. I couldn’t keep letting Aiden control my every move, my every thought. I needed to take back my life, even if it meant facing him head-on.The warm water from the shower washed over me, soothing my tense muscles, but it did little to calm the storm raging inside me. I kept replaying the events of the past few months in my mind—the lies, the manipulation, and the toxic grip Aiden had on me. I had been trapped in a web of fear and desire, unable to break free, but now, as the steam filled the bathroom, I knew what I had to do.After drying myself off, I dressed simply but deliberately, choosing clothes that made me feel strong

I stepped out of the apartment and closed the door behind me, my heart racing as I hurried down the corridor. The walls seemed to close in around me, each step echoing like a countdown in my head. Aiden’s presence loomed over everything, a dark shadow that I couldn’t shake. I didn’t know what his game was, but I knew one thing for certain: I wasn’t safe. Not as long as Aiden was still out there, obsessed with me, willing to do anything to keep me in his life.I clutched my phone tightly, the cold metal pressing into my palm, as I made my way to the exit of the building. My first instinct was to run to the police, to show them the video of Aiden admitting to shooting Ryan, to make them understand the danger he posed. But as I neared the door, a chilling thought struck me: What if Aiden had planned for this? What if he had people on the inside, watching my every move? The police hadn’t exactly been helpful in Ryan’s case—they had been dismissive, slow, almost as if they were being caref

I walked out of the hospital with a heavy heart, the weight of everything pressing down on me. My legs felt weak, but I forced myself to keep moving. The time was ticking away, each second bringing me closer to whatever Aiden had planned, and I had to do something. Anything. The police station was my first stop. It had to be. If I could get the police involved—really involved—maybe I could turn the tide. Maybe I could expose Aiden for the monster he was and end this nightmare once and for all.When I arrived, the station was bustling with officers and civilians, the air thick with the sound of ringing phones and the clatter of keyboards. But as I walked up to the front desk, it felt like I was stepping into a void. The world narrowed to a single point of focus: the officer behind the desk."I need to file a complaint," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. "It's urgent."The officer, a middle-aged man with a thick mustache, looked up at me with mild interest. "What's the nature of

**Daniel's POV**The tension in the room was suffocating as Amira stared at us, her eyes filled with misery. I had seen her brave through impossible situations before, but this was different. This time, the threat was personal, and it was closing in on her fast. Aiden and Ethan were ruthless, and I knew they wouldn’t stop until they had her."Amira," I said softly, trying to mask the urgency in my voice, "you need to leave the state, just for a little while. It’s the only way to keep you safe."Her eyes hardened, her jaw tightening as she shook her head. "I’m not the kind of woman who hides, Daniel. I can face my fate, whatever it is."I could see the glimmer of hopelessness behind her brave facade, and it twisted something deep inside me. How could she think this was her fate? How could she give in to that kind of despair? Mia and I exchanged a glance, both of us silently pleading with her to listen to reason."Please, Amira," Mia stepped forward, her voice filled with emotion. "You’
