CHAPTER 51 — THE TRAP

DAVID'S POVThe next morning, I was at the office early. I saw Lydia in the corridor. She was walking toward the conference room. I caught up to her, grabbed her arm, and pulled her into the corner near the fire exit."You need to be careful," I said. "Nina is crazy. She got hold of photos of us together yesterday at the library. I don't know who took them. But you need to be careful."She stared at me. Her face went still. Then a hot slap ran down my face. The sound echoed in the corridor."I told you to stay off me," she said. Her voice shook. "But you would not listen. Now you are putting myself and my son in danger."Her eyes were red. She could not stop the tears from falling."David, I was perfectly fine without you. When you came in, everything changed." Her voice broke. "Stay the hell away from me."She walked away. I stood there with my hand on my cheek and watched her go.*********I went back to my office and shut the door behind me. Marcus was already inside, standing by t

CHAPTER 52 — One Long Night

LYDIA'S POVThe parking lot was dark. I was walking to my car, my heels clicking on the concrete, my mind still on the slap I had given David hours ago. My hand still burned from the sting."Lydia!"I froze. David's voice came from behind me. I turned. He was standing ten feet away, his hands at his sides, his chest moving like he had been running."Are you married to Ethan legally?" His voice was low and sharp. "I need the truth."The question hit me like a door slamming shut. I stopped walking. My heart slammed against my ribs.I turned slowly and walked toward him. I paced around him like he was a stranger I was seeing for the first time."You know, you have guts, David." My voice was low and controlled. "Showing up at my house. Kissing me at will. Drafting a plan to get me stuck in your company. You must think so highly of yourself."I stopped right in front of him. He said nothing."I don't answer to you regarding my personal life. We signed the divorce papers. Meaning, we are do

CHAPTER 53 — THE CONFESSION

LYDIA'S POV"Ethan, what are you doing?"He did not answer. He was breathing fast. His eyes darted over me like I was his prey.I twisted, dragged my wrists from his grip, and shoved him back."What the fuck is wrong with you?" My voice shook.He stumbled. His back hit the wall. He slid down to his knees."I am sorry." His voice cracked. "I am sorry. I am under pressure. I am doing this for you. For us."I stared at him. Everything began to make sense — the flowers, the dinner, the pressure, the questions about David.I walked to the bedside table, picked up my phone, and scrolled to the photo of him and Nina talking in the parking lot.I turned the screen toward him.His face froze."Start talking, Ethan." I snapped.Ethan was on his knees. His face was wet. He moved his eyes away from me."Nina… She has my mother," he stuttered. "She threatened to kill her if I did not do what she said."I stood over him. My hands were shaking. My chest was tight."She took her from the parking lot

CHAPTER 54 — THE COLLAPSE

LYDIA'S POVThe afternoon meeting went swiftly. David sat at the head of the table, while Marcus took notes. The team went over deliverables, deadlines, budgets, and new tasks. I kept my face still. My hands flat on the folder in front of me. My son's safety still sitting on my chest.I had called my mother three times since I saw the photograph. She had not picked up. I called again during the meeting. Same thing. My hands froze while holding my phone, and my heart skipped.The meeting went on. I was in the meeting, but my mind was on my son. Why wasn't Mum picking up? What could be happening? I had the urge to run out and rush down to Mum's place. David looked at me. I could feel his eyes on me. I kept my eyes on my phone.The meeting ended. Everyone filed out. I gathered my things and walked to my office. Maya was on the phone. She held up a finger. I nodded and closed my door.I called my mother again. Still nothing. I called Sandra.She picked up on the third ring. "Hello, ma'am.

CHAPTER 55 — THE CONFUSION

DAVID'S POVNina stood in the doorway. Her chest was heaving, her eyes were on me."You will regret this," she said. Her voice was low. "Both of you." She turned and stormed out. Marcus followed her. Her footsteps echoed down the corridor.Lydia wiped her face. "I need to go." She did not look at me. She walked out like she was being pursued.I stood alone in the conference room. My hands were still shaking.******Marcus came back in. His face was tight. He closed the door behind him."What was that?" he asked."What was what? I should be asking you that, not you.""I don't get it, David." He frowned."You followed her like a loyal dog. You did not even look at me."Marcus stepped closer. "She is pregnant with your child, David. Whether you like it or not, how could you kiss another woman in front of her?""I was not kissing another woman. I was kissing my wife.""Your ex-wife." He blurted. "There is a difference."I stared at him, my eyebrows raised. "Since when do you talk to me li

CHAPTER 56 — TIME BOMB

LYDIA'S POVI could not breathe. I needed space, far away from the office and the apartment. I called Maya and told her I was sick."Please take care of yourself. I will report back to Mr. David as soon as you hang up," Maya said.I packed a few things and drove to my mother's house.The city fell away behind me. Trees replaced buildings. The road got quieter. My hands were still shaking on the wheel. I had not stopped shaking since the conference room, since Nina's eyes burned at me like they were going to swallow me any moment.My mother opened the door just when I was about to knock for the second time. She took one look at my face, pulled me inside, and hugged me tightly.I couldn't hold back the tears. They burned my eyes. I could barely see anymore."Baby," she said. "Don't say a word. You are in Mama's arms now. Don't be hard on yourself."She took me in and gave me a cup of coffee. We sat at the kitchen counter, and then she asked, "Can you talk now?"I told her everything. Da

CHAPTER 57 — THE WITNESS

LYDIA'S POVI couldn't sleep. How could I? I laid on my old bed, staring at the ceiling, running through everything Ethan said. "She walked into her own trap." I held onto those words like a lifeline. It felt like a dream come true.I got dressed and went downstairs. Sandra was in the kitchen with Noah, fixing his backpack. Mum was at the stove, flipping pancakes."Morning, baby," she said. "Sit and eat."I sat at the table. Noah climbed into my lap. He was already in his school uniform, his hair combed, his cheeks still pink from sleep."Mama, are you staying here today?""I have to go to work, baby. But I will see you tonight."He pouted. Then he kissed my cheek and ran to Sandra. She took his hand and led him out the door.The house went quiet immediately.My mother set a plate in front of me. I looked at the pancakes. I was not hungry."You need to eat," she said with her hands on her waist."Mum, I'm not a child." I picked up my fork."Not in here, Barrister. Now tell me what is

CHAPTER 58 — THE BETRAYAL

DAVID'S POVThe apartment was too quiet and unsafe. Nina had been gone for days. Her things were still there. I had called her twelve times. She never took any of my calls.I paced the living room, sat on the couch, stood up, took my phone, dropped it back down, walked to the window. The city was bright and busy. I grabbed my jacket and left.The agency was on 5th Street, the one that sent Nina to my house. I parked across the street and walked in.The receptionist looked up. Her face was polite but distracted."Can I help you?""I am looking for someone. Nina Lawson. She used to work here."The receptionist typed on her keyboard, scrolled, and shook her head."She no longer works here. Her file was closed two years ago.""Closed?" I asked, leaning forward."Terminated. She stopped showing up without a call or notice. Nothing."I stood there for a moment. The air in the office felt cold. I turned and walked out.She had been planning this for a long time. I drove to a detective counse

CHAPTER 59 — THE EVIDENCE

LYDIA'S POVHis mother had a small house on the outskirts of the city. This was smaller than the one we had visited during her party but standard. The lawn was overgrown, the curtains were drawn. She had not been the same since the kidnapping.Ethan knocked. A young woman in housekeeping uniform opened the door after a long pause. Her eyes were tired, and her hands were shaking."Who is she?" I whispered into Ethan's ear."That's my mum's maid."We walked in. His mum was seated in the living room."Hey, Mum. This is Lydia. Remember her, right?" Ethan asked. "From your birthday party." He stopped and looked at me. "She is a friend."His mother looked at me, then at Ethan, without saying a word. We sat in her living room. The air was stale. The windows were closed. She wrapped her arms around herself and rocked slightly."I know this is hard," I said. "But we need your help."She looked at me. "Help with what?""The woman who took you. Nina. We are trying to build a case against her. We

Chapter 60 — “DILEMMA”

LYDIA’S POVI drove home. My mother was in the kitchen. Noah was watching cartoons in the living room. He ran to me when I walked in."Mama!"I picked him up and held him tight."Did you have a good day, baby?""Yes. Grandma made cookies."I looked at my mother. She smiled, but her eyes remained low. I put Noah down, and he ran back to the TV.My mother followed me to the kitchen."Any news?""We have her voice on a recording. She agreed to meet the teacher, but she hung up.""So, is that good or?""It is not enough."My mother touched my face. "You will get her, baby. I know you will."I nodded. I tried to believe her.**********That night, I could not sleep. I lay in my old bed and stared at the ceiling. My phone was on the pillow beside me. I picked it up and listened to the recording again."I will think about it." Her voice was calm and controlled. But there was something underneath — like she was scared and aware.I put the phone down, closed my eyes, and forced myself to sleep.
