101: Poisonous Truths

Estella POV“You’ve got some nerve showing up here,” I said as I stared up at Camila leaning casually against the banister of the platform above, as if she owned the place.She wasn’t the sweet innocent, doe-eyed girl she pretended to be for so long. Today, she looked every inch the conniving snake I always knew she was— unapologetically malicious.She was dressed in a sleek, blood-red trench coat cinched tightly at the waist with stilettos so high I bet they hurt. Her lips curled into a smirk painted the same shade as her coat, and her hair was pinned back in a high ponytail, not a single strand out of place. She tilted her head slightly, as if amused, her painted pink nails tapping against the metal railing. The way she walked down the stairs felt like a performance. Each step, each click of her heels, was designed to get under my skin, and damn it, it was working.“What can I say? I’ve always been known to be bold. Full of surprises too” she replied.I could feel the curious gazes

102: Lies and Leverage

Estella POVI laughed out loud, the kind of laugh that wasn’t born out of humor but pure disbelief. “You’ve really outdone yourself this time,” I said, shaking my head. “You’ve gone from desperate to downright delusional and absolutely nuts.”“Oh, I’m sorry. What exactly is so funny about me being pregnant, Estella?”“You,” I said, biting down another laugh. “Do you honestly think I’m stupid enough to fall for this? Then you’re dumber than I ever thought, Camila.” My voice was calm, but the fury simmering underneath was unmistakable. “Newsflash, sweetheart: You can’t get pregnant overnight. Biology 101. Let me spell it out for you—pregnancy takes time. Two weeks minimum.” I raised two fingers for emphasis, staring her dead in the eye. “So read my lips: Stop this nonsense and go home before I blast your pathetic little act wide open.”Camila didn’t back down. If anything, her smirk widened, her painted lips curling in amusement. “Oh, Estella. You really think I’m lying, don’t you?” S

103: In Hiding

Estella POVThe receptionist’s polished smile barely shifted as I handed her Clara’s credit card. “Welcome to The Halcyon,” she said. “Will you be needing help with your luggage, Ms. Morris—”Yes. I logged in under a fake name. Clara’s to be precise.“No, don’t bother” I cut her off quickly, forcing a smile. “No luggage. Just me.”She nodded, but her gaze lingered a second too long, her smile widening a fraction. “You look familiar. Are you a model? I think I used to see you on—The question caught me off guard. “No,” I said quickly. “You must have me confused with someone else.”The girl blinked, her cheeks coloring. “Oh, my mistake. Sorry. I just thought—”I didn’t let her finish. “It’s fine. Could I have my key, please?”She nodded and handed over the key card. “Room 210. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to call the front desk. Enjoy your stay.”I muttered a quick “thanks” and moved away, resisting the urge to glance back. In the elevator’s mirrored walls, my reflection stared

104: A Chance Encounter

Estella POVI stopped at a 24/7 store next which was quiet except for the shuffle of a lone employee restocking shelves. I wandered through the aisles, scanning shelves that gleamed under harsh fluorescent lighting. My fingers hovered over a stack of plain T-shirts before settling on a soft gray one. I threw it into my basket alongside the essentials I’d already grabbed—a travel toothbrush, a comb, a pack of face wipes, and a plain set of pajamas. My fingers hesitated over a simple black dress. It wasn’t like I had anywhere to wear it. But then again, who cares so I tossed it into my basket too, along with a pair of flats.The cashier smiled politely as I slid Clara’s credit card across the counter, her nails clicking against the keyboard as she rang up my items. She didn’t say much, but the look she gave me—it was faintly curious, like she was trying to place me. Did I seem familiar to her too? Or was I just paranoid after the receptionist?I stuffed the receipt into the bag and hea

105: The Unexpected Adventure

Estella POVI opened the door to find Elliot standing there, looking… ridiculous. My eyes trailed over his outfit—thick boots, thermal pants, and a heavy jacket that seemed suited for climbing Mount Everest. A knit beanie rested crookedly on his blonde head, making his sharp features stand out even more.“What are you wearing?” I asked, my eyebrows shooting up.He gave me a grin that bordered on mischievous. “What you’re wearing won’t do,” he said, gesturing to my blazer and slacks.I glanced down at myself, confused. “What’s wrong with this? I thought we were going over a contract, not… whatever this is.”“Good thing I thought ahead,” he replied, holding up a plain brown paper bag. He shoved it toward me.I peeked inside, and my confusion only deepened. Inside were layers of clothing—thick thermal leggings, a fitted fleece jacket, gloves, and a scarf. “Elliot,” I started, my voice filled with suspicion, “what are you planning? This is hardly what to wear for business.”“You’ll see,”

Chapter 106: The Act That Shouldn’t Have Happened

Estella POVThe trail was well-maintained, but the snow made it slippery. I was grateful for the hiking boots he’d provided as they gripped the ground securely. I trudged behind him, muttering curses under my breath.“Keep up, Estella,” he called over his shoulder, clearly amused.“Keep up?” I shot back. “I didn’t sign up for this.”“Be careful you can easily get lost. It is slippery and wet from the snow so it is dangerous.”By the time we reached the top of the trail, I was out of breath, my cheeks red from the cold. But when I saw the view, my complaints died in my throat. My legs were screaming, but the view at the top was worth it. The city lay below us. The mountains stretched out in every direction, their peaks dusted with snow that sparkled in the sun. It was breathtaking.“You can stop pretending not to be impressed,” Elliot said beside me, his tone teasing.“Okay,” I admitted, “this is… impressive.”Elliot smiled, his gaze fixed on the view. “I thought you’d like it.”He sl

Chapter 107: Lost in the Woods

Estella POVI stumbled back a step, my boots sliding slightly against the uneven rock beneath me. My heart was pounding in my chest, though not from the altitude. I froze, unable to comprehend the sheer audacity of it. Then it hit me like a lightning strike.Elliot’s green eyes were still locked on mine, wide with shock as though he couldn’t believe what he’d just done.It wasn’t Alejandro’s stormy gray eyes staring back at me.I shoved him hard, my palms slamming into his chest with all the strength I could muster. “What the hell do you think you are doing?” I yelled, my voice raw with anger and disbelief.“Estella, I’m sorry.” he said quickly, hands raised defensively. “I lost control. I—”“You lost control?” I cut him off, stepping back, needing the space to breathe. “What the fuck, Elliot? You just kissed me! What part of that seemed like a good idea to you? You took advantage of me while I was vulnerable! How dare you?”He tried to speak, but I wasn’t finished.“I trusted you!”

108: Lost in the Cold

Estella POVThe snap of another branch startled me, and I spun around, heart hammering against my ribs. My breath hitched in the back of my throat, the sound bouncing off the trees around me.I squinted into the growing darkness, my eyes straining to find the source of the noise. The dark shadow darted past, and I let out a startled scream before realizing it was just a squirrel. A squirrel.My knees buckled, and I pressed a hand to my chest, willing my heartbeat to slow. “Get a grip,” I muttered shakily. My voice sounded hollow, barely audible against the howling wind.I pulled my jacket tighter, but it didn’t help. I was still very cold.Okay, think. What do I do now?“What do I do now?” I whispered again, my voice breaking.I looked around, trying to make sense of my surroundings. It was useless. Every direction looked the same—dense trees and snow-covered ground.Maybe the mine workers would be leaving soon. Maybe I’d hear their trucks. Or maybe Elliot would realize I hadn’t made

109: Dead in the Cold

Estella POVI couldn’t feel anything except the cold—no, it wasn’t just cold anymore. I don’t feel anything again. I was numb. It was emptiness I feel. My body had surrendered moments ago.It wasn’t painful anymore. It was almost…peacefulSo this is what dying feels like.I couldn’t move. My legs were curled awkwardly beneath me, the snow surrounding and pushing up around my body like a grave already dug. I tried to breathe, but each inhale was like a dagger in my chest.Is it supposed to hurt this much?The sky above was gray, swirling with clouds that blurred and shifted like watercolors bleeding together. I’d never noticed how beautiful the sky could be, even in a storm. My lips twitched, or at least I thought they did. Was I smiling? Crying? I couldn’t tell anymore.They say your life flashes before your eyes when you’re about dying. Alejandro’s face was the only image that came to mine. His intense gray gaze, the way he looked at me, touched me, worshiped me. The way his jaw cle

109: After She Left

Alejandro POVI knew where she was the moment she left. Even before before her text lit up my phone—I need space—.I had been tracking her since she walked out of the house. Not because I didn’t trust her—I did. I just didn’t trust the world to keep her safe. After everything that had happened—being taken, attacked, and nearly killed—I’d taken precautions. The app I had made was custom-built, encrypted, and capable of tracking her phone even if it was off. I had this app made exclusively for us. As long as the device had been used in the last 24 hours and wasn’t wiped, it could be tracked.But I had never needed to check it ever since it was made. Not once. Until nowThe glowing blue dot on my screen, taking me through her day. She stopped at the lake first—her mother’s resting place. Then to Estrella Designs, likely trying to lose herself in work. And now, it stopped at the Halcyon Hotel.The Halcyon.My jaw tightened as I stared at her location. She wanted space, I understood that.
