Chapter: CHAPTER NINE:WHISPERS IN THE DARK.Liam's thumb hovered over the screen for a single second before he pressed the call button. The dial tone rang once, twice, then thrice. Each ring grew longer than the previous, pricking at the calm that Liam was striving to keep.No answer.Liam tried again, pacing across the marble floor of the lobby. His shoes tapped a rhythm. The vending machines hummed in the corner, indifferent to the storm that Liam felt inside. On the attempt, the line clicked open, but only silence answered. Liam heard a breath, a faint rustle of fabric, someone listening but not speaking.Liam whispered harshly, "Who is this?" Glancing over his shoulder out of pure instinct. Liam asked, "What do you know about Adrian?”Then, abruptly, the line went dead.Liam stared at the phone as if it had betrayed him personally. His mind raced through every person who might have Liam's number, every enemy Liam had made and buried and told himself he'd left behind. None of it added up. None of it eve

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHT:WHAT THE NIGHT HIDES.The night shattered with a sound like a whip; the screech of tires followed by a sickening thud that swallowed every other noise in the parking lot.Victoria was the first to react, her head snapping toward the source of the sound. Liam followed suit a heartbeat later, his pulse racing in his ears. Through the glass doors, illuminated by the harsh yellow glow of the parking lot lights, a small crowd had already formed, huddled together in a loose, anxious circle."Stay here," Liam instructed, though he wasn't sure why he even bothered — Victoria was already on the move, her heels clicking sharply against the tile, moving faster than someone who claimed to be taking it easy for the night should.Outside, the air was chilly and carried the scent of rain that hadn’t yet fallen. A car had jumped the curb near the entrance ramp a dark sedan, its front bumper crumpled against a concrete planter, one headlight flickering weakly like a dying star. The driver’s door was

Chapter: CHAPTER 7THE PRICE OF SILENCE.The hospital corridors were really dark at this time, with only some weak lights on. These lights were like the ones you find in offices. They kept flickering every few seconds. It was like they were tired too. Liam walked into St. Augustine's hospital through the sliding doors. He was walking fast. Quietly, like he was being chased by something that nobody else could see. His eyes were moving around, looking at the desk where people check in, the chairs where people wait for the elevator, and the hallway that goes to the ICU. It was like he was counting how many people were around.He pulled his jacket up higher even though it was not cold outside. This was something he always did because he was used to hiding from cameras and people who might ask him questions. He did not want to be noticed because that could ruin everything he had worked for in secret.The nurse saw him before he saw her. She was standing near the machine that sells snacks with her arms crosse

Chapter: CHAPTER SIX: THE LIE THAT BLED. SOPHIA'S POV.Sophia stared at the text on her phone until the words became a mess. “Adrian is dead.”She could not believe what she was reading. Her thumb hovered over the screen, refusing to accept what her eyes kept telling her. She read it again and again, hoping it was some mistake. Her knees gave way. She caught herself against the doorframe, the phone slipping from her fingers and falling to the floor. Luckily for her,the phone was not smashed.Adrian was dead, the man who had threatened her and dragged her into corners. The man who had fought with Liam hours ago to defend her was now dead. Sophia did not understand why her chest felt so tight. It's unlike her. She told herself it was a shock, that is all. Not sadness, not for Adrian Calloway. Not after everything he made her go through. It can never be.Then she thought of Theo and something inside her broke.She scrambled to pick up the phone, dialed James's number, her fingers shaking."James," she said. The moment he answered, her voice

Chapter: CHAPTER FIVE: THE FIGHTAs Sophia was still in deep thought on who could be the one shooting in front of her house, her phone rang, she could hear the phone ring but don't know where she kept it .She traced the ringing tone to where the phone is and as she was about answering the call, Liam collected the phone from her and checked the number calling, It was a man's number, no other person than James the investigator. His reaction sends shivers down Sophia's spine.“Hello, Mr James, please stop calling this my sweetheart’s number. She's very very busy. Thank you”. After Liam was done saying this, he hung up.“Your sweetheart?, you're calling my wife your sweetheart in my presence” Adrian rushed to where Liam was standing and gave him a blow on his head. He did it twice and a fight started between both of them.As they were fighting, Sophia's phone fell off Liam’s hand and she rushed and picked it and went to the kitchen to return the call because as Liam mentioned James, she knew it was her investigator .“Mr

Chapter: CHAPTER FOUR: THE CONFRONTATION.“With all due respect, why would you come to my house, talk anyhow then slap my mother?” Little Theo asked, his head up facing Victoria.“My son, come on. This is not your mother. I'm your grandmother. Follow me alright?*Victoria went closer to Theo rubbing his head..Sophia flinched. There was this silence amongst them.“God forbid! You cannot be my grandmother. This is my mother.” He said grabbing Sophia's hand.“And please use the door.” Theo said to Victoria.Adria quickly interrupted him.“Son, you don't talk that way to your grandmother and of course am your father. I came to take you to my place.”Theo looked at Sophia immediately.“I don't have a father. I only have a mother.” He said and walked back to his room.A lot was going through Sophia's mind. He never wanted Theo to know anything about his father and was afraid he'll start asking her questions.As soon as Theo went back to his room, Victoria and Adria waited for some minutes to see if he would come out again but he d
