Chapter: Kirk... Who is She?CHAPTER 9KIRK’S POVThe hospital hallway had never felt so long. Each step felt heavy, like my feet were dragging through water, even though my heart was racing ahead of me. Lisa was somewhere behind me, calling my name, trying to keep up, but I barely registered her presence. None of that mattered. None of it did.All that mattered was the woman behind that door.The woman who had been lying still and silent for days.The woman who had been trapped in a coma while I unraveled piece by piece.I pushed the door open without slowing down, my chest heaving, my lungs burning. For a split second, I was ready to drop to my knees in gratitude, to thank God, fate…anything that had given her back to me. I expected the same quiet, sterile room I had grown used to. The same machines. The same suffocating stillness.Instead, the air felt wrong, thick and heavy with tension.My eyes went straight to the bed, and my heart leaped violently when I saw Stacy’s eyes open. She was awake. She was real

Chapter: This is a miracleCHAPTER 8 KIRK’S POVEverything inside me felt tangled, but I still followed Lisa when she asked if we could talk more. “Gosh! What are you doing, Kirk?” My heart screamed, but I kept following.Maybe I needed the break. Maybe I needed space from the hospital smell, from the fear, from everything that had been sitting on my chest for days. Or maybe I just didn’t want to think for a few hours. She headed toward the parking lot, and when she pressed her car key, her car blinked.I offered to use mine, trying to be polite, but she shook her head quickly. “No, I made the offer,” she said with a small smile. I didn’t argue. She always liked being the one in control of outings, and somehow, it felt like nothing had changed. I settled into the passenger seat, still feeling the weight of my earlier answer sitting on my chest like a stone.The drive felt strangely calm. The city buildings passed slowly, the sunlight warm on the glass. I looked out the window, thinking about Stacy, thinking a

Chapter: Then we have a chance, KirkChapter 7KIRK’S POVIt had been a week, but nothing felt normal again. Every morning I walked into the hospital with a heavy chest, hoping today would be different. I kept thinking Stacy would suddenly open her eyes and smile like she used to, but each day she stayed the same, lying there quietly. The sound of the machines beside her had become something I could recognize without even looking.Her doctor said her body was strong, but sometimes strength wasn’t enough. Every day I sat beside her bed, talking to her like she could hear me. I told her about the weather, the nurses, even about how I couldn’t sleep well anymore. I didn’t know if any of it helped, but talking to her made me feel less useless. It made me feel like maybe she was still close somehow.My parents only came once since everything happened. At first I thought they were just busy, but as the days passed, I realized they simply didn’t care like I did. When I called them again to give an update, they spoke as if it

Chapter: The accidentChapter 6Kirk's povI stood there, staring at Stacy, but it felt like my heart wasn’t inside my chest anymore. It felt like someone had reached in and pulled it out with their bare hands.Everything around me went silent. I could see her crying, shaking, trying to explain… but my ears refused to hear anything.My own brother. My own blood.And the woman I had started to love… had slept with him too.My throat felt tight. I swallowed hard, but the pain sat there, heavy and sharp.Arnold stood behind her, almost amused. My mother looked disgusted. My father tried to act calm. But me? I was breaking inside. Completely.“Stacy…” I said softly, even though my voice sounded like someone else’s. “Why?”She reached for me immediately. “Kirk, please. I swear I didn’t know. I never planned any of this. I never…”“Enough,” I cut in quietly, my voice was as sharp as a sword.My voice shook. Not with anger—no, anger came later. Right now it was hurt. Pure hurt.Her tears fell harder, wetting her

Chapter: You slept with my both sons?Chapter 5STACY’S POVThat evening, my house felt colder than usual. I curled on the couch like a broken child, hugging my knees close to my chest.Hillary sat beside me, rubbing my back gently.“Stacy… please,” she whispered. “You can’t keep shutting him out like this.”“You don’t understand, Hill,” I sobbed. “He doesn’t care about me. He only cares about the baby.”“But he said he was looking for you before he even knew you were pregnant,” she argued softly. “What if he's real?”“He’s not,” I muttered bitterly. “No man is that good.”Before she could reply, a knock echoed through the room.My heart jumped. We both froze.“Were you expecting someone?” Hillary asked, her eyes snapping toward the door.I shook my head slowly, as I quickly wiped the tears that rolled down my cheeks.Another knock came, firmer this time.My stomach twisted. Hillary stood up first. “Let me see who it is.”My breath caught as soon as she opened the door. He stood there - the stranger again.The man who had

Chapter: A mistake, a painful mistakeChapter 4STACY’S POVI cried for two straight days after leaving the hospital.Not the quiet kind of crying either. The choking type. The kind that steals your breath and makes your chest burn like fire. My eyes were swollen, my head throbbed, and every time I closed my eyes, I saw the doctor’s face smiling as he told me the words that had shattered my life.You are pregnant.The word followed me everywhere. It echoed in the walls. It crawled into my dreams. It mocked me when I tried to sleep.I sat before my laptop on the third morning, the screen glowed softly, but my vision blurred as tears threatened to return.RealTech. The place where I had given so much. The place where Arnold, the man I trusted with my heart, had betrayed me.I could not walk back into that office with this secret growing inside me. “Are you really sure about this?” Hillary asked softly as she placed a steaming cup of coffee beside the laptop.Her voice was gentle, but her eyes were filled with worry. She ha
