Chapter one hundred and one: she lives

Julian’s POVEight months.Two hundred and forty-three days of waiting.Julian had never believed in miracles, but now, he prayed for one every single day.Every morning, he walked into the hospital room with their son in his arms. Every night, he left with the same ache in his chest, the same unanswered questions. Would she ever wake up? Would she recognize him? Would she remember their love, their son, their life together?He refused to entertain the alternative.Sitting beside her, he reached for her hand, intertwining his fingers with hers. Her skin was warm, her pulse steady, but her eyes remained closed. Unmoving. Silent.“Lexi,” he murmured, his voice hoarse from exhaustion. “It’s me. Your favorite person in the world. The man who’s been waiting forever for you to wake up.” He let out a dry chuckle, though there was no humor in it. “You know, I used to think I was the impatient one in this relationship. But look at you—making me wait eight damn months for a simple ‘hello.’”Not

Chapter One Hundred and two: Finding us Again

Lexi’s POVThe first thing she felt was warmth. A steady, grounding heat wrapped around her fingers. Then, a distant sound—low, deep, and achingly familiar.She forced her eyes open, the world swimming into focus.A man.Tall, dark-haired, piercing blue eyes filled with something raw and desperate. His face looked exhausted, like he hadn’t slept in months. But the way he stared at her—it was like she was the only thing keeping him breathing.Her throat was dry. Her chest felt tight.“W-what… happened?” Her voice came out hoarse, foreign.The man sucked in a sharp breath before surging forward, pressing his lips against her knuckles, her forehead, anywhere he could reach.“You happened,” he murmured, voice thick with emotion. “You came back to me.”She blinked, dazed. Back? From where?And then she saw the baby.Nestled in his arms, a tiny, delicate bundle. Big, curious eyes, soft dark hair.Her heart clenched violently in her chest.The man—Julian—gently placed the baby in her arms, w

Chapter one hundred and three : Coming home

Lexi’s POVNaming their son had been the first step. The moment the words left her lips, something inside her settled. As if, even without all her memories, some things were instinctive. Some things were theirs.They named him Alexander.Julian had smiled at her, eyes gleaming with something that looked like relief, pride—love. “Alexander,” he repeated, brushing his fingers against the baby’s tiny hand. “Our little warrior.”The name felt right.The following days were filled with careful observations from the doctors. Tests, evaluations, and cautious optimism. Julian hovered over her, never leaving for more than a few minutes. She woke up to him watching her like she might disappear again. It should have been overwhelming, suffocating.But it wasn’t.Not when he looked at her like she was the center of his universe.Not when he spoke to her in that low, soothing voice, recounting the life they had shared before it was stolen from her.And then, finally—“You’re fit to go home,” the d

Chapter one hundred and four: Dead or Alive

Lexi’s POVThe night was quiet, too quiet. Even with Julian sleeping beside her, even with the rhythmic rise and fall of Alexander’s tiny chest in the crib, an eerie stillness settled over the room.Lexi shifted beneath the sheets, restless. A strange heaviness pressed against her chest, an invisible weight that refused to lift. She closed her eyes, willing herself to sleep.And then—A whisper.Soft. Almost delicate.But laced with venom.“Miss me?”Lexi’s breath hitched. The world around her blurred, shifting into something else entirely. She wasn’t in the bedroom anymore.She was standing in a dimly lit room, cold stone beneath her bare feet. The walls stretched endlessly, suffocating, and at the far end, perched on an elegant chair like a queen on her throne—Alexa.Her identical twin.But there was something different about her. Her once striking beauty was distorted, twisted into something unsettling. Her lips curled into a knowing smirk, her golden eyes glinting with amusement.

Chapter One Hundred and Five: A sisters Plea

Lexi’s POVThe weight of the previous night lingered in the pit of her stomach, heavy and unyielding. Even though Julian had reassured her, something about the dream—no, the vision—felt too real, too tangible. She couldn’t shake the feeling that Alexa wasn’t truly gone. She pushed the thought aside, focusing instead on the task at hand.The car ride to the prison was silent, the hum of the engine filling the air as Lexi stared out of the window, lost in her thoughts. The city outside was alive, bustling with people going about their day, but it all seemed distant. She barely noticed when the car came to a stop in front of the high concrete walls.“You sure about this?” Julian asked, his voice low and steady, as always.Lexi turned to him, meeting his gaze with a faint, unreadable smile. “I have to do this. For her.”He didn’t argue, but she saw the concern in his eyes. He’d been protective, hovering like a guard dog since she had returned to him, but he knew this was something she nee

Chapter one hundred and six: Bitter Beginnings

Lexi’s POV Lexi wasn’t sure what else she could have done. After all, family was everything to her, even if it had been twisted and frayed over the years.Kayla’s release had come with conditions, a chance for her to rebuild—starting with a small company Lexi had owned. Lexi had hoped it would help Kayla find stability, purpose. It wasn’t much, not compared to the wealth Lexi had accumulated over the years, but it was a start. A lifeline, she’d thought. The anger and jealousy that had once consumed Kayla seemed to have subsided, at least on the surface, but Lexi wasn’t fool enough to think it was gone.As they pulled into the driveway of her estate, Lexi braced herself. Julian wasn’t going to like this—he never did when she gave people second chances. But she couldn’t help it. Kayla was her sister, and despite everything, she wanted to believe she could change.“I don’t like this,” Julian said suddenly, his voice low.Lexi glanced at him, meeting his steady gaze. He was leaning forwa

Chapter one hundred and seven: crossing paths

Lexi’s POV The air in the penthouse was thick with tension as I paced the living room, my mind racing. The phone call from Alexa still lingered in my thoughts, sending a chill down my spine. I’d expected this, but hearing her voice again—so cold, so certain—had rattled me more than I cared to admit. “Everything’s a game to her,” I muttered under my breath. “But I’m done being her pawn.” Julian, sitting on the couch, watched me with a quiet intensity. He’d been silent for the past few minutes, sensing that I was on the edge of something—something that could tip me over if I wasn’t careful. “Are you sure you want to go down this path?” Julian finally asked, his voice calm but edged with concern. I stopped pacing and turned to face him. My expression was determined, but I could feel a flicker of doubt gnawing at me. I hated feeling this way, like I was teetering between control and chaos. But there was no going back now. Alexa’s return had changed everything, and I wasn’t about to l

Chapter one hundred and eight: Leverage

Kayla’s POV The air in the bar was thick with cigarette smoke and desperation. Kayla sat in a secluded booth at the far end, her fingers tapping against the scratched wooden table. She had been on edge since receiving the anonymous note telling her to meet here. Something about it felt… off. But curiosity, or maybe something darker, had led her here. Her mind had been a chaotic mess since leaving prison. Freedom wasn’t what she had imagined—it wasn’t the relief she had once dreamed of. Instead, she felt restless, her thoughts spiraling, looping back to the same bitter truth: Lexi had given her crumbs when she deserved the whole feast. A small company? After everything she had suffered? After all the sacrifices she had made? She clenched her fists. It wasn’t enough. It would never be enough. A shadow moved near the entrance, and Kayla’s head snapped up. The woman who slid into the seat across from her was both familiar and foreign. Alexa. For a long moment, neither of them spoke.

Chapter one hundred and nine : Inferno

Alexa’s POVAlexa sat in the dimly lit penthouse, swirling the wine in her glass as she watched Kayla pace in front of her. The younger woman was jittery, her fingers twitching at her sides, but there was something electric in her movements—anticipation, desperation.“You’re sure about this?” Kayla asked, stopping abruptly to look at Alexa.Alexa smiled, slow and calculating. “Of course. It’s the only way.”Kayla swallowed hard, her eyes flickering with hesitation before she forced herself to nod.“She won’t even see it coming,” Alexa continued, setting her glass down. “Lexi is so busy chasing ghosts, she has no idea we’re about to snuff her out.”Kayla exhaled sharply, rolling her shoulders back. “What’s the plan?”Alexa leaned forward, her golden eyes gleaming. “You’ll take care of Lexi and that child. Once they’re gone, Julian will be vulnerable. Heartbroken, yes, but he won’t have anyone left—except for you.”Kayla’s lips parted slightly, as if she were envisioning it. “Julian wil

Chapter One Hundred and Ten: Ashes and Betrayal

Lexi’s POVThe smoke still clung to her skin.Lexi sat in the back of an ambulance, clutching her son, her arms wrapped protectively around his small body. The paramedics had tried to take him to check for smoke inhalation, but she wouldn’t let him go. Not yet.Kayla sat on the curb a few feet away, wrapped in a blanket, her hands trembling. Her expression was blank, but Lexi could see it—the war raging inside her.Sirens blared in the distance, emergency lights flashing red and blue against the smoldering remains of what had once been Lexi’s home.Everything was gone.Everything.Julian appeared through the haze, his eyes scanning the scene in horror. The second he spotted Lexi, he ran.“Lexi!” His voice was hoarse as he dropped to his knees in front of her, his hands immediately reaching for their son. “Oh, my God—are you okay? Is he okay?”Lexi swallowed, her throat raw from the smoke. “We’re alive.”Julian cupped her face, his fingers shaking. “Jesus, I thought—when I got the call
