Chapter 11

I released a breath I hadn’t realized I had been holding, my heart pounding as adrenaline coursed through my veins. I knew I had to keep my composure; collapsing now would mean giving in to the chaos. My mother was still on the line, her voice a comforting tether to reality, and I could not let her sense my vulnerability. Not now.“Mama?” I said, trying to steady my voice, but it came out a little shakier than I intended.“Mona?” Her voice crackled through the receiver, laced with concern and worry. “What happened? Are you okay?”I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to push back the tumult of emotions threatening to spill over. Gritting my teeth, I let out a shaky breath. “I’m okay, Mama. Just… just a little more trouble. But I’m fine. I promise.” I hoped my words could mask the turmoil churning within me.“Stay strong, Mona. Stay strong,” she urged softly, her voice a gentle beacon of support even through the crackling phone line.I nodded, even though she couldn't see me, feeling the war

Chapter 12

Mona’s POVI turned at the sound of my name, my heart nearly jumping out of my chest. Of course, it was Ian. Who else would it be? I barely had time to compose myself before I felt his hand on my wrist, dragging me toward his car like I was some sort of property. I pulled back, but his grip tightened, and I could already feel the anger rising in my chest.“What the hell are you doing here, Ian?” I hissed, barely managing to keep my voice from shaking.His grip was still firm, his fingers pressing into my skin, sending an uncomfortable jolt through me. I wrenched my wrist out of his hand, but he was already on me again, too quick. “I should be asking you that,” he growled, dragging me across the parking lot with surprising strength. “You think you can just walk away from me without consequences?”“Consequences?” I raised an eyebrow, my voice dripping with sarcasm. “You mean the ones where you make me your prisoner? Those consequences?”“Don’t play games, Mona,” he snarled, his grip tig

Chapter 13

Ian's povI looked up from my desk as Mia's voice pierced the silence of my office. “Ian, what’s that witch doing in your penthouse?”I sighed, rubbing my face to ease the tension that rushed in. I knew exactly what she meant.“Who?” I asked, keeping my voice steady.“Mona. The woman in your penthouse. What’s she doing there?” I let out a dry laugh, brushing my hair back. “Mona isn’t your concern.”“Don’t dodge the question, Ian. I know who she is,” she shot back, her eyes narrowing with anger.I stood up, my body tense. “Stop calling her names, Mia.You don’t know what you're talking about.”She scoffed, a laugh escaping her lips, hollow and mocking. “Oh, I get it now. You are with her, aren’t you? This is how it ends? Do you have the guts to cheat on me, Ian? You don’t even care about what we had?”It was like a slap to the face. But instead of recoiling, I stepped closer, my voice barely above a whisper, hard and cold. “Our relationship ended a long time ago, Mai.”She froze, her

Chapter 14

Mona's POVI lay on my small bed, staring at the cracked, peeling white ceiling, struggling to breathe through my swirling thoughts. My mother’s voice echoed in my mind, demanding things I didn’t think I could achieve. Even in the silence, her presence felt heavy, filled with expectations that weighed me down.I rolled onto my side, each breath growing heavier. The bed felt constricting, and I swung my legs over the edge, miscalculating the distance to the floor. My heart raced as I teetered, almost losing my balance. A rush of panic hit me, but I steadied myself, trembling from the close call.I muttered a curse, breaking the silence, before trying to gather my scattered thoughts. I reached for my shoes, which were hidden under the bed. I brushed my fingers against the cool wooden floor but found nothing. Frustration built within me—how could finding a simple shoe feel so hard?Leaning down, I carefully searched again, feeling the smoothness of the floor beneath my hands. Overwhelmed

Chapter 15

Ian's POVMy heart raced as Mona’s body collapsed against mine. At first, I thought it was just her exhaustion catching up to her, but then I felt the dampness on her skin. Sweat. Her body was burning up, trembling against me in a way that sent a cold shiver through my spine.I moved quickly, my hands gripping her shoulders, steadying her as panic surged within me. Her breaths came in sharp, shallow gasps, and I noticed her skin growing pale, a strange rigidity starting to seize her limbs.“Mona,” I said firmly, my voice tight with urgency. She didn’t respond. Her head lolled back, and her eyes flickered open for a brief moment before shutting again, a glassy look in her eyes making the world around me feel suffocating.I didn't waste another second. I scooped her up, cradling her against my chest, feeling the weight of her fragile form in my arms. My body tensed, every muscle primed to power through the fear pushing me forward."Stay with me, Mona," I insisted, determined that she c

Chapter 16

Ian's POVI heard the term and felt as if my life was unraveling. What did she mean by her body being significantly compromised? I called out to the doctor as she was about to leave; the situation didn’t seem to add up at all.“Yes, Mr. Ian,” she replied.I scoffed, my breath coming in heavy gasps as my eyes scanned the room. Just how dire was her condition?“Very serious,” she said urgently, placing a hand on my chest. My heart raced as I locked eyes with her, sensing the sincerity in her expression.“It’s fine,” I nodded, making my way out of the hospital. I was determined to uncover the identity of the cook who had poisoned her.My heart thudded violently as I exited the hospital. The doctor’s words reverberated in my mind, each one more suffocating than the last. Mona had been drugged, and I was resolute in ensuring that the person responsible would face justice.I slammed the door of my car, the sound echoing through the desolate parking lot. My grip on the steering wheel was so

Chapter 17

Mia's POVThe atmosphere between us was heavy, stifling, resembling an impenetrable barrier. Each word from my mother tightened the grip around my chest, as if she were sketching a detailed outline of all I had been striving to forget. Her gaze—those eyes that seemed to uncover every hidden truth—bore into me, anticipating a response."This isn't a support group, Mom," I replied, my voice barely audible. "I did what I had to do. Whatever Ian is dealing with now is a result of his own ignorance."The last statement escaped me like a secret, and I immediately wished I could take it back. I didn’t want her to grasp the entire truth—not the complete truth, at least. I couldn’t reveal that it wasn’t solely Ian’s fault—that I had shattered everything between us weeks prior. I had dismantled it with my own actions, my own selfish errors, and now I was desperately trying to piece it back together.My mother, however, was not easily deceived. She had always been perceptive. With her arms cross

Chapter 18

The car door clicked shut with a definitive sound that resonated in the stillness of the night. Inside the dimly lit vehicle, she reclined against the seat, the gentle purr of the engine the only interruption to the quiet. Outside, the streetlights cast a faint glow, flickering as figures approached, their footsteps deliberate and measured against the chill of the pavement.They halted just before the car, pausing for a moment before one of them broke the silence, his voice steady yet tinged with an underlying tension.“Is it finished?” the man inquired, his words barely audible in the night, as if he feared eavesdroppers.“Finished,” she answered, her voice calm and almost indifferent, though her thoughts raced through the implications of every decision she had made leading up to this moment.The woman, who had remained silent until now, stepped closer to the vehicle, her gaze darting nervously between the windows, as if wary of being observed. "You’ve fulfilled your end of the barga

Chapter 19

Ian pov The cold, still body of the cook lay there in front of me, and everything felt wrong. The silence that filled the room was suffocating, the kind that pressed against your chest and made it impossible to breathe. My hands shook as I stared at the knife, the blood, her vacant eyes.I didn’t know what to think. Who did this? Why?I could hear the faint sound of footsteps, then a voice, sharp and piercing. "Ian, what happened? What did you do to her?" Mai’s voice cut through my thoughts, and I snapped my gaze up to her.My body tensed immediately. I didn’t have time for this. Not now."Shut up, Mai," I growled, my hands tightening into fists at my sides. I felt a fury rising within me, boiling over with every word that left her lips. "Don’t say that. Don’t you dare accuse me of something like that.""But... Ian, she’s dead," Mai stammered, eyes wide as she looked between me and the cook’s lifeless form. "Did you—did you kill her by mistake?"The accusation hung in the air like a

Chapter 20

Mona's povThe sound of the stabilizer hummed faintly in the background, a constant reminder that I was alive. But alive for what? My head felt like it was filled with cotton, a thick fog clouding my thoughts. I tried to open my eyes, but the light stabbed through the thin layers of my eyelids, pushing them back closed with the force of a storm.I shifted my fingers. The cold, metal tube of the IV dug into my skin, and I could feel the steady drip of medicine coursing into my veins. My chest felt tight, like I was drowning in air, and my breath came in shallow gasps. My heart raced, and with it, the panic began to creep in.Where am I?I forced my eyes open again, a little more forcefully this time. My vision blurred, distorted shapes merging together. My pulse was in my ears, loud and insistent. My eyes darted around. The sterile walls. The faint smell of antiseptic. The beep of a monitor. The rhythmic sound of something mechanical—a stabilizer, I realized. The noise was muffled, but
