All Chapters of Falling For My Billionaire Captor: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Doctor Devis’ POVI stood outside the patient's room, my hands tightly clenched at my sides. The soft beeping of the machines had turned into a familiar yet unsettling background noise. I could hear her faint, labored breaths. The young woman had been admitted several days earlier, and I had been closely monitoring her recovery, but the signs were still not encouraging.I was in the midst of reviewing test results when the nurse entered my office with news that made my heart race.“She’s awake,” the nurse announced, her tone a mix of relief and uncertainty. “She’s conscious, but... I don’t think she fully understands what’s happening.”I quickly set my papers aside. “I’ll be there shortly.”As I entered her room, I saw Mona, her face pale and her eyes filled with confusion. She clutched the IV pole tightly, trying to steady herself, but her body shook, and her breaths were shallow. I had encountered patients like her before, but each time, it struck me just as hard. The fragility of l

Mona’s POVI called her name again, desperate, my voice breaking as I leaned against the edge of the bed. "Mom?" It felt like a dream—like I was still trapped in a haze that I couldn’t shake off. The silence in the room was oppressive, the air thick with the weight of uncertainty. I waited, but the only sound was the faint hum of the machines, the quiet rustle of my own breath.My eyes scanned the room, searching. I couldn’t make sense of what had just happened, why her footsteps had disappeared so quickly. What was going on? Was she coming back? Had I imagined it all?And then, the door creaked open.I froze, my heart skipping a beat in my chest, as if the very sound of the door opening had the power to snap me from the fog I had been lost in. I turned my head just as a figure stepped inside—someone I hadn’t expected.It was Ian.My heart stuttered in my chest. I wasn’t sure what it was—shock, confusion, something deeper. His presence in the room was like an electric jolt that travel

Mona's POVThe car sped down the road, the tires screeching as Vance pushed the accelerator harder, the engine roaring under the pressure. I glanced out the window, my eyes fixed on the blurred lines of the street lights as they passed. My mind, however, was a whirlwind of thoughts, spinning faster than the car itself. I wasn’t sure why I felt so uneasy, why I’d agreed to get in the car with a man I’d just met, but something about him was calming, in an odd way.I let my gaze linger on the road, trying to focus on something else, but then my mind flickered back to Ian. The way he had been with me recently. His affection. His calmness. At first, I had thought it was all an act, a front to hide something darker, something more sinister. But now, after everything that had happened, I wasn’t so sure. Maybe he wasn’t as bad as I’d imagined. Maybe he was just... complicated. I couldn’t deny that there was something in his touch, his gaze, that made me feel... safe.Safe. What a weird word f

Ian's POVI stood in the living room, my pulse still racing as the sound of Mona’s footsteps grew louder. I knew she’d come through that door, but I couldn’t shake the feeling of rage that coiled tight in my chest. Every breath I took felt like fire, burning through me, threatening to spill over.She had gotten out of the car. She’d looked at me like I was the enemy. Like I was the one who had done something wrong. And it hit me all at once—she was the one who had put distance between us. Not just physically, but emotionally.The sound of the door creaking open snapped me out of my thoughts, and I turned to face her. She was standing there, eyes wide, but her stance was defiant. I could see the way she held herself—like she was trying to hold on to something, but I wasn’t sure what.Before she could say anything, I crossed the room in two strides, gripping her wrist so hard I knew she would feel it tomorrow. She flinched, her eyes flicking to where I was holding her as though it physi

Vance's POVShe blinked, clearly taken aback. "Wait—seriously? You want me to work for you?"I turned to face her fully now, unable to suppress the excitement building inside of me. "Of course. You’re the only person I trust with something like this. You’re not just smart, Mona. You’re resourceful. You have what it takes to manage my life without me even asking." I took a step toward her, locking eyes with her as I spoke. “And more than that... I think you’re the right person for this. I’m offering you a job. If you’re interested.”She looked at me for a long moment, uncertainty flickering across her face, and then she nodded slowly. “I think I’d like that,” she said, a quiet warmth filling her voice.I smiled, but I wasn’t done yet. My mind was already turning.“Hold on,” I said, grabbing my phone from the desk and dialing my secretary’s number without hesitation. “Liza,” I said, my voice firm, “come back in here, I need to speak with you.”Mona’s eyes flickered to me, surprised.
