The return

Charles’ voice came through the phone line, sharp and demanding. “Anna, what do you mean Suzanne’s gone?”Anna stood outside, staring down at the phone in her trembling hand. The words were hard to say, but she forced them out. “She… she left, Charles. I don’t know where she went, but she packed up everything and walked out.”There was a brief silence before Charles spoke again, his voice tight with frustration. “What do you mean, she left? Why would she leave? Anna, what the hell is going on?”Anna’s chest tightened as she gathered the strength to continue. “She found out about the oath. The promise you made to Sarah’s parents… that you’d marry her and take care of her. Suzanne knows everything.”Charles let out a sharp breath, and then the line went dead.“Charles?” Anna’s voice wavered with confusion. “Charles?”The call had ended abruptly.A loud, mocking laugh interrupted her thoughts. Anna whipped her head around, eyes burning with fury, to see Sarah standing in the doorway of t

Hunt for Suzanne

A year and 10 months.The warm sunlight filtered through the lush greenery of the Smith estate garden as Suzanne sat opposite her father, Armstrong Smith. His stern expression mirrored the tension in the air, his hands clasped tightly around the ornate cane he rarely needed but always carried.“I’ve decided it’s time,” he began, his voice steady but unyielding. “The Smith Empire needs its rightful head, and that’s you, Suzanne.”Suzanne’s brow furrowed as she sat back in her chair. “Me?” she repeated, incredulous. “What about Nina? She’s been with the company for years. She knows it inside out.”Her father’s eyes narrowed, his tone laced with disapproval. “Nina is not a Smith. You are. And it’s high time you started acting like it.”Suzanne bristled, her voice rising. “I didn’t ask to be born into this family. And you can’t just expect me to walk back into a life I left behind and take over as if nothing happened.”Armstrong leaned forward, his grip tightening on the cane. “You left t

Last good thing

The wails of the sickly toddler pierced through the grand Langford estate, echoing in the lavish but cold nursery. Sarah sat motionless on the edge of a velvet chaise, staring blankly ahead, her manicured nails drumming against the armrest. The child’s cries grated against her nerves, each sob a reminder of everything she had lost, everything she had been denied.Charles had barely looked at her since the birth. Beatrice had sneered at her in that condescending way of hers, making it clear that Sarah had failed—again."A sickly child?" Beatrice’s voice dripped with disappointment the night Sarah had given birth. "Pathetic. You were supposed to strengthen this family, not weaken it with an invalid.""You expect me to celebrate this?" Charles had added coldly, barely sparing his daughter a glance. "You were supposed to give me an heir, not a burden."Sarah had laughed bitterly that night, lying weak in the hospital bed, their words slicing deeper than any scalpel ever could. She had giv

Ghost of the past

Laughter filled the luxurious bedroom as Suzanne lifted Charlie high above her head, his tiny giggles echoing through the room. His chubby hands reached for her face, his bright brown eyes filled with innocence and joy.“You like that, don’t you?” she teased, pressing a loud kiss against his soft cheek. Charlie squealed, clapping his hands, and Suzanne’s heart swelled with warmth.But then, the atmosphere shifted.The door creaked open, and the presence of Armstrong Smith sucked all the warmth from the room.Suzanne’s smile faltered as she lowered Charlie into her lap. Her father stood at the entrance, his sharp, calculating gaze locked onto her. Even in his old age, Armstrong carried an aura of absolute authority—one that demanded obedience without question.“Ms. Rose,” Suzanne murmured, giving the maid a quick nod.The maid, who had been standing quietly by the wall, immediately stepped forward and scooped Charlie into her arms. “Come on, sweetheart,” she cooed to the boy, who reach

A name, A burden

Liam’s polished dress shoes clicked against the marble floor as he strode through the grand entrance of Carter Memorial Hospital—the largest and most prestigious medical facility in the state. The air smelled of antiseptic and wealth, the kind of place where the elite received treatment in private suites that looked more like hotel penthouses than hospital rooms.The staff moved with well-practiced efficiency, their voices hushed, their steps measured.A nurse at the entrance gave him a polite nod, not recognizing him. No one here did. That was the way his father wanted it."Mr. Carter is expecting you," a hospital administrator said, stepping forward.Liam adjusted his coat and nodded, following the man through the pristine hallways.Finally, they stopped before a set of doors guarded by two imposing men in suits. Without a word, one of them stepped aside and opened the door, motioning for Liam to enter.He squared his shoulders, took a deep breath, and stepped inside.---The hospit

Old frame

Suzanne sat in the corner booth of the old, cozy restaurant, her fingers wrapped around a warm cup of tea. Outside the window, the streets of Vancouver stretched before her, unchanged in the years she had been away. The same bustling sidewalks, the same corner flower shop with its vibrant display, the same nostalgic scent of freshly brewed coffee wafting in from the café next door.Yet, something felt different.It wasn’t the city that had changed. It was her.Eight years had passed since she left, but stepping into this restaurant made it feel like she had never left at all. Like time had folded in on itself, dragging her back to a past she had carefully locked away. But today, it was seeping through the cracks, uninvited.The scent of freshly baked bread mingled with the rich aroma of simmering sauces, blending into the quiet hum of conversation and the soft clinking of silverware. The golden afternoon sunlight streamed through the windows, casting warm shadows on the worn wooden t
