Chapter 101 - New friend

[Elena]"Can I come in?"A lady stood by the door, her lips stretching into a confident, almost effortless smile.She looked—how do I even put it? Have you ever imagined one of those flawless people in a magazine suddenly walking right off the page? That’s exactly what it felt like. She was… stunning. The kind of woman who made the air feel different when she stepped in."Yes, please," I said, matching her smile as I gestured toward the chair opposite me. She took a small step forward but paused, her eyes flicking between me and the seat like she was silently asking permission.A quiet laugh slipped from my lips. "Sure, please, have a seat."She chuckled softly, lowering herself onto the chair with an easy grace. "You look even more beautiful in person. Those pictures online really don’t do you justice."For a moment, I blinked, a little thrown off. "You… you know me?"That sounded silly the second it left my mouth. Half of Boston knew who I was at this point.She smiled, tucking a pe

Chapter 102 - Let him go!

[Vienna]"Mom, this is really getting out of hand. What do I do?" My lips wobbled as I stared at my mother.It's been two weeks. Two freaking weeks and my son has been in the hospital.The vitamins are not working, I mean, the doctor clearly told me that they would not be of help anymore, but miracles do happen, right?My mom's eyes were glued to Darian's sleeping form as she took a deep breath before turning to stare at me."I'm confused as well. This isn't looking good." She said and my fingers dug deep into my scalp."Asher already suggested flying another doctor in. If he does, then there's a huge possibility that he would find out the truth and mom...he...," I paused, feeling bile rise up to my throat.Why was the universe working against me? This is supposed to be a secret that I would take to my grave but why? Why was the universe trying to mock me this way?"He won't find out. I'm sure Darian will get better.""He's not!" I snapped, my head whipping toward the bed to make sur

Chapter 103 - Watching us

[Elena] "Stay away from my son, you evil woman!" Vienna’s hand landed hard across my cheek. My eyes widened. I looked around, expecting someone to react, but everyone only smiled—mocking smiles that made my stomach twist. And worse, I didn’t recognize a single face. They all stared at me like I was some filthy thing they couldn’t stand to look at. "I heard she's trying to steal that beautiful woman's son!" a lady from my right sneered, and laughter broke out again. My eyes snapped back to Vienna. I could have slapped her back—I should have—but the woman standing before me didn’t look like the Vienna I know. Her hair was a tangled mess, her clothes rumpled beyond reason, and her eyes… they looked hollow, surrounded by dark circles so deep I could barely see their color. She looked like she hadn’t slept in months. Instead of walking away, my voice came out tight. "Vienna, what’s wrong with you? You look terrible." She scoffed, throwing the teddy bear in her hand to the ground.

Chapter 104 - Tighten your security!

[Elena]I could feel it.Maybe I was overthinking things—or maybe not.Even after we left the salon and headed to the boutique a few minutes later, that strange feeling crept back again.I kept glancing through the side mirror, looking out for that red car I’d noticed earlier, but it wasn’t there. Nothing even close. Still, I couldn’t shake the sense that someone was watching us."Elena, there’s no one watching us," Mom said as we looked through a glass case of jewelry. "But if you’re still feeling uneasy, I can call the guards to follow behind us."I shook my head quickly. Maybe I was just being paranoid. "It’s fine, Mom. Let’s continue." I gave her a small smile, though I noticed the way her brows had creased with worry.We kept shopping, moving from one store to another. The feeling never left, but I decided to keep it to myself this time. I didn’t want to worry her anymore.For the next few hours, we wandered through boutiques, perfume shops, and gift stores. Mom picked out things

Chapter 105 - In your name

[Elena]It’s been two days since I received that strange text on my phone.A small part of me kept saying it was just a cruel joke or some kind of bug message, but the louder part of my mind whispered that it wasn’t ordinary. No matter how hard I tried to piece it together, I couldn’t.I almost told my mother, but that would only burden her—especially with the sacred ceremony for their anniversary coming up in four days. So, I buried the instinct, tucked away the unease, and acted like nothing was wrong.During these two days, the strange sensations I’d felt that day with my mother—the feeling of being watched, the shadowy weight following our steps—had all disappeared.I exhaled deeply and pushed the thoughts away, glancing at my wristwatch.I was driving to my brother’s company, and of course, it still had to do with working alongside him.Asher.Yesterday, when I visited his villa to check how far my workers had gone, I half-expected to see him. But there was no sign of him at all,

Chapter 106 - How's he?

[Asher]The moment she got closer, her cologne drifted through the air—soft, warm, and maddeningly familiar. My eyelids nearly fluttered shut before I forced them open.When I finally met her gaze, everything else in the room faded.Those deep blue eyes—steady, unreadable—held mine. For a heartbeat, I saw something flicker across them, something fragile, but she masked it almost instantly.That wasn’t what unsettled me. What got under my skin was the fact that it kept happening—again and again.Every time Elena was near, my chest tightened, and my body reacted like I had no control over it. The tension that crawled up my neck, the weight I’d been carrying for weeks—everything seemed to melt away.It never happened with Vienna.So why her?Why did I want to pull her into my arms, hold her until everything stopped spinning, and breathe her in like I hadn’t taken a full breath since my son was admitted to the hospital?Why did I want comfort from a woman I was supposed to despise?My thr

Chapter 107 - Who are you?

[Elena] "How is your son? Is he getting better?" The words slipped out before I could stop them—and no, I didn’t regret it. My eyes had gone straight to Asher’s screen the moment it beeped. What was I looking at? I had no freaking idea. I wasn’t even sitting that close to him, but I caught a few words—not getting better—and I saw how his entire body shifted. Asher stared at me like I had just spoken a foreign language. His lips parted, maybe to say something, but before he could, my brother stepped out of his office. I swallowed hard and turned away from Asher, pretending to fix the files in front of me. We discussed the project for another hour—budget details, site plans, shipment schedules. Raphael filled me in on a few things I’d missed, while Asher stayed mostly quiet, that same clouded look lingering in his eyes. When Asher finally stood to leave, I did the same. A part of me wanted to follow him, just to hear his answer—to know if the boy he loved was really o

Chapter 108 - You'll do exactly that!

[Vienna]I stared at the man in front of me—his eyes wide, jaw clenched, fingers digging into the edge of his desk.Exactly the reaction I wanted.No matter how much I tried to hide it, things were spiraling out of control. And if it kept going this way, Asher would eventually fly in another doctor without even telling me. I’d seen it in his eyes these past few days—the way he looked at the doctor each time he claimed Darian was improving.Asher wasn’t stupid. He could see our son was getting worse. He tried to believe the man, but doubt had already found its way into his face.That’s why I had to go this far. Because I was out of options.Mom warned me. She even went so far as to text Elena, telling her to tighten her security. I saw the message. She didn’t know I saw it. I didn't ask her about it because if I did, then she’d know that the idea she was afraid of was still rooted deep in my mind.Doctor Adam shifted on his feet, lowering his gaze for a second like he couldn’t stand lo

Chapter 109 - The person that needs you

[Elena]I didn’t know what was happening to me.My whole body ached, like I was being tossed around, weightless and helpless. Voices echoed somewhere distant, but I couldn’t tell if it was real or if I was drifting between dream and death. My mind was blank. I tried to open my eyes, to move, to speak—but it was like something heavy was pressing down on me, crushing every effort.Again, I tried. And failed.Then it felt like I was being thrown into deep water, my lungs burning, my body sinking. I was drowning.What’s happening?That was the only thought that kept flashing through my head until it all faded again.~~~~~~~~The moment my eyelids fluttered open, confusion hit me like a wave.A sharp sting burned down my throat when I swallowed, the sound echoing in the stillness. My brow furrowed as I tried to make sense of where I was.Light. Too much light. It poured in from nowhere and everywhere at once, flooding my vision until I had to squint just to breathe.For a few seconds, the

Chapter 110 - Where's she?

[Raphael]I was just about to step into my private jet when my phone buzzed in my pocket.I glanced down and it was a call from my mother.A small smile curved my lips. She must have heard from Elena that I was leaving the state. Her anniversary with my late dad was around the corner, and it wouldn’t surprise me if she was calling to make sure I wouldn’t miss it.I took a step back from the aircraft’s stairs and answered the call, pressing the phone to my ear."Mom.""Are you with Elena?" she asked, her tone sharp with worry. That wasn't the question I was expecting.My brow furrowed. "No, I’m not." I checked my watch—it was exactly 7 p.m. Which meant Elena had left my office six hours ago. "I was with her earlier today."A faint sigh escaped her lips, followed by silence. "Her number isn’t going through, Raph. Aurora said she hasn’t been at the office today and—" Mom stopped mid-sentence, and I didn’t need to hear more to know panic had already set in."I’ll get back to you," I said
