Chapter 62: A Possible WayHarper’s POV…Emma’s words kept ringing in my head no matter how hard I tried to fight them off.I tried to silence the thoughts, tried to calm down, tried to forget everything, but nothing worked. Instead, the thoughts grew stronger, spiraling beyond imagination, making my heartbeat race inside my chest.I took a deep breath and tried to enjoy nature—maybe that would help.The weather was cool and lovely, and I was in the garden, the one place I needed to be the most.The view was breathtaking. The green grass and lush plants were a testament to how beautiful nature is, shining brilliantly. The flowers were the most stunning of all, each glowing in its magnificent color.Tall trees hung over almost every corner of the garden, offering shade and comfort. Plants were neatly sectioned, and butterflies of various kinds fluttered around gracefully.But deep down, none of it was helping. The more I tried to use the scenery as a distraction, the worse it got. It w

Chapter 61: Talk to herEmma POV….I yanked my hand out of Charlotte’s grip the moment she succeeded in dragging me to a secluded corner.“Let go,” I hissed, my eyes shooting daggers at her. “Why are you dragging me around like I’m some little child?” I rubbed my left wrist with my right hand—she had gripped it so tightly, it ached.“Girl, you’re such a bitch. How long were you planning to keep this from me? Forever?” she spat, her face twisted like she was ready to tear me apart.I didn’t need her to say it—I already knew what she was talking about. But I wasn’t ready to come clean just yet.“What are you talking about?” I asked coolly. Playing clueless was my specialty, and I was damn good at it.“Spare me the act. I know you better than you know yourself,” she snapped. Here she goes again with that tired line. Annoying as it was, she wasn’t exactly wrong. She knew enough.I let out a heavy sigh, realizing there was no use pretending anymore. She’d already figured things out.“F

Chapter 60: Late Arrival Anna POV…. I sat on my bed, Emma’s words playing over and over in my head. I couldn’t shake the feeling, no matter how hard I tried. It all felt like a dream—how could Louis, of all people, try to kill me? It was so hard to believe.I thought we were finally getting along. I thought things were finally going well between us. I was beginning to trust him, to see him as a friend. And now this?How could he? How could he try to hurt me again? And the worst part was, I still wasn’t even sure who the real Louis was. If Emma hadn’t come to warn me about the danger ahead, would I have been his next prey?How dare he? How dare he turn against me after I placed so much hope in him? That ungrateful bastard. I swear, after I’m done dealing with Damien, he’s next. He’ll be the next one I take down—for betraying me not just once, but twice.Yes, I let the pain from the first betrayal fade. I let it wash away. But not this time. I won’t let this slide.My hands clenched

Chapter 59: Wow!Emma POV…..I walked out of Anna’s room with a satisfied grin playing on my lips. Now I’m certain—Louis won’t be able to say a word to her.Seeing him with Logan earlier, I could only conclude one thing: he’s trying to help her… to save her. And I can’t let that happen.She’s mine. My prey. And when the time is right, I’ll feast on her.The dream I told her? Just a lie. A carefully crafted story meant to scare her away from Louis.Oh, poor, innocent thing. If only she knew I was the real devil, she’d run from me like the plague.I know she’s full of life, I know she wants to escape this miserable place—but how unfortunate for her. She won’t get that chance. Soon enough, she’ll be lying in my belly, right where she belongs.Very soon… everything will fall into place. Definitely. I just need to move faster—Louis might try to stand in my way, and I won’t let that happen.That scumbag! If I had the chance to kill him, I would. And I swear, that would make me the happies

Chapter 58: Bitter Truth Anna POV….I watched as Emma drew closer, and my mind raced with endless possibilities. What’s going on in her head? Why is she walking toward me with that expression? Am I in trouble? Is she about to hit me? I couldn’t think straight. The more I tried to make sense of it, the more confused I became.The suspense ended when she finally stopped in front of me and yanked my hand harshly. That was it—I couldn’t stay quiet any longer.“What is going on? And why are you dragging me like this?” I snapped, pulling my hand away from her grip.Before I could even catch my breath, she grabbed me again. This time, panic surged through me. Her grip was firm, urgent, and unexplained. My mind spiraled into fear.“What is this? Why are you holding me like this? Is something wrong?” I fired off questions, my voice trembling. My ears burned for an answer, any answer.I was running out of patience, and her silence was only adding fuel to my anxiety. Her actions weren’t just c

Chapter 57: A Sudden Disruption Louis POV….“Damien!” I stammered, fear and panic seizing my chest. No wonder his scent had been so strong. Oh boy… I am so dead.I tried to speak again, but panic glued my lips shut. I scrambled for an excuse—a perfect one—but my mind went blank. Not a single thought came through.It was like my brain had abandoned me to carry this burden alone. That jerk! Why does it always betray me like this? Why does it leave me hanging when I need it the most?“What are you doing in front of my door? Why are you sneaking around like some shameless thief?” Damien’s voice struck me like a slap across the face. It was harsh enough to jolt words out of my mouth.“I… I wanted to check if you were in, so I could apologize for what I did,” I blurted out. I was shocked by how easily the lie rolled off my tongue.“You want to apologize?” he chuckled in disbelief.That’s it, I thought. He doesn’t buy it. He’s a full-blown Thomas—he needs proof to believe anything.“If y

Chapter 137: A Family Dinner 1 month later……“Come on, babe! Aren’t you done yet?” Derek stressed; he was already tired of waiting for Rose. Him and the kids had been waiting for Rose for almost 30 minutes, and she hadn’t descended the stairs yet.“Gosh, mom! We’re going to be late for the outing,” Kendell poured in frustration, and Rose replied from the room where she was still applying makeup. “I’ll be down in a jiffy; I’m just adding finishing touches to my makeup,” she screamed back.“But you said that twenty minutes ago, and you’re still repeating it,” Derek replied. “Yeah, but I’m serious this time around. I’m done,” Rose said, already cracking the door to the room open.“I told you I am done,” she said as soon as she stepped out of the room. Hearing the sound of the door opening and noticing her voice grew nearer was enough to inform them that she had finally stepped out of the room.“Gosh, mom! It took you forever to look this beautiful,” Ken gasped, taking in his mom’s beaut

Chapter 136: Too Hard to Believe Derek and Rose paced around the Dave’s restlessly; yes, they were still definitely mad at Dave for what he did, but they never wanted any harm to come to him. As they strolled around impatiently, Mr. Reynolds and Sofia could be seen walking into the hospital with worried looks on their faces. Derek had called them earlier to inform them about Dave’s condition.“How is he doing?” Mr. Reynolds asked the couple as soon as he was close enough.“The doctor isn’t out yet; we’re still waiting for him,” Rose replied, as if she had been forced to.“Ouch!” Mr. Reynolds mumbled and sat in a provided seat. “I just hope nothing happens to him,” he said with desperation in his tone.“I might be mad at him for what he did to me, but honestly, the last thing I wanted was for him to end up in that hospital; I never wanted that,” Derek said after a while of pacing around.“You don’t need to worry, son. I believe everything will be alright, so worry not and keep prayin

Chapter 135: Unexpected Turnaround Two months later………“Do we really need to go see that jerk?” Rose said with dissatisfaction as the driver drove her and Derek to the station. “Of course, babe. I’m so desperate to see him, and I just don’t know why,” Derek clarified, but Rose gave a loud hiss. “So you’re suddenly concerned about a man who nearly sent you to an early grave? Absurd!” She folded her hands under her breast and turned away. Of course, that act of hers was to be pampered by her husband.“No, babe, I’m not going there because I care for him. I’m going because I have this great urge to, and furthermore, I really need to clarify something from him,” Derek explained further. “Whatever! Do as you please. What can I even do? It’s not as if you ever listen to me.”“Oh, babe, but I always do. You know you’re my best advisor,” Derek said, tickling Rose, but she remained stern. “If you always listen to me, then why aren’t you listening now? Why are you being really naughty now?”

Chapter 134: A Special moment As Rose waited anxiously in the waiting room, she noticed Sofia and Mr. Reynolds approaching her from the corner of her eye. Immediately, she turned away, attempting to avoid a conversation with them. “Rose, how long will you continue avoiding us? You know this isn’t the right time for this, right? Even if you want to be mad at us, it shouldn’t be now, please,” Sofia said calmly, standing in front of Rose. Mr. Reynolds stood nearby, listening as Sofia spoke.Slowly, Rose lifted her head and stared at Sofia. “I’m not angry at anyone; I’m just in a lot of trouble now,” she replied calmly, turning to face them. “I’m sad that Derek had to go through all of that alone, and that I’ve been blaming him without knowing the reasons behind his actions,” she continued, her voice laced with pain. “I feel terrible for not sharing in his pain or supporting him through his difficult time. I was always quick to blame him without understanding his predicament.”Sofia sa

Chapter 133: The Hidden Truth“Sorry that I had to take that call,” the doctor said, dropping his phone on the table. Earlier on, before Mr. Reynolds could say the things he wanted to, the doctor’s phone rang, alerting him to a call he had to take. “It’s nothing,” Mr. Reynolds said with a calm smile, but beneath his smile, his tension still flickered around. “Thanks for understanding, sir. So, you can start now; I am ready to listen.” The doctor assured with a bright smile, and Mr. Reynolds nodded and shifted uncomfortably on his seat. He stretched his back and cleared his throat before saying his first words, “Well, it’s a long story.” His voice was filled with emotions as he spoke. The doctor and Sofia turned to him with keen attention. Mr. Reynolds gave a sad sigh before he continued, “A long time ago, Derek’s mom died while giving birth to him, thereby leaving him in the care of his dad.”“A year after his mom’s death, I advised his dad to get remarried, seeing how difficult

Chapter 132: A Call for AlarmSofia and Mr. Reynolds waited impatiently for the doctor to arrive and give them a report. Derek had been taken to a ward, and now they were made to wait helplessly for the doctor’s arrival. A few minutes later, they saw the doctor coming from afar, and before the man could get closer to them, they rushed to him to inquire how things were going with Derek.“Doctor, how is my son doing?” Mr. Reynolds was the first to speak, and they waited impatiently for the doctor’s response. “Please, can we talk in my office?” the doctor said instead of responding, and Mr. Reynolds and Sofia gave each other a quick glance before they turned back to the doctor.“Ummmm, okay,” Mr. Reynolds responded, and they both followed the doctor to his office. They walked for a while before arriving at the doctor’s office, and upon getting there, he directed them to two seats where they sat before he occupied his. Taking his seat, he cleared his throat before turning to the adults

Chapter 13: Whose End?“Don’t be too surprised, he is not a friendly man”. She stood up, tugged my shoulder, and let out a light smile. “Well it’s cool though,” She snapped her finger in front of my face. “everything is going to fall into place, as long as you don’t annoy him.”“I should get going now. I wouldn’t want him to come in here and see me.” If not… You know” . She bowed her head. And with a final smile, she walked away.I watched her until she vanished completely out of sight. With only one thought playing in my mind, “who exactly is this man?” I thought I have known him enough, but it seems there are a lot of things I don’t know about him yet. The door smacked open, pulling me out of my sphere of thought. “You are back….” The word hanged in my throat. It wasn’t the maid as I expected. I thought she had forgotten something and had come back for it.I gulped hard, as I stared at the most expected person. He stood by the door, his face cold as usual. His lips seized of smile

Chapter 12: RevelationMAYA POV…“I will tell you what you need to know,” I heard the maid’s voice, sharp and clear. I paused and turned slowly in her direction.I watched as she slowly turned to me. “I will tell you what you need to know,” she repeated, this time a sign of defeat on her face.I assessed her face for a while before walking back to her. “You want to know the truth, right?” She gulped; I could feel the weight of her tension, and then came fear. It was written all over her face.“You will tell me everything?” My voice was more of a whisper, like I was also scared of the truth, like I was scared of hearing it.“Yes, I will tell you everything.” Her ocean-blue eyes stayed glued to mine, giving me full access to read the pain in them.“Are you ready to know the truth?” Her tone and expression shifted so quickly from fear to seriousness that I cringed. For a while I judged if I was really ready to know the truth. It felt so heavy even without her saying a word.I gulped hard

Chapter 11: Out of ReachMAYA POV…“Ok, thanks Linda. I will reach out to you whenever I need you,” I said in an attempt to chase her away. I needed to carry out my plans quickly.“Ok then, I will be in my room then. Have a blissful night.” She smiled and bowed. I nodded and watched her walk away.Watching her until she finally disappeared from sight, I banged the door shut immediately. “The phone, the phone,” I rushed to it. I made sure I clicked the door shut before taking my next step.“Why haven’t I thought of you all this while?” I picked the phone from the table, taking in a deep sigh of relief. “You are my escape out of this shithole, so don’t fail me now.”Without further delay, I input Anna’s number, but my face twisted in scattered hope when I got the most unexpected response: “The number you are calling does not exist.” The number I am calling does not exist? I couldn’t believe it. I redialed the number, sure I hadn’t made an error when typing it, but I needed to be certain

Chapter 10: A FriendThe mention of the last surrogate sent ice rushing down my spine. But another thought clawed at me stronger: Who saved me?A chill swept through me. And then I saw it, A silhouette, tall and still, standing right in front of me.The light was too dim to make out a face, but its presence was undeniable.A cold breeze swept over me; I could feel my head triple in size as I stood there feeling completely small. “Where do you think you are going?” The words came out commanding and fearful at the same time.While I still struggled to see who was standing before me, they stepped forward, granting me access to the face without having to stretch my neck anymore. “What do you think you are doing, ma? Are you tired of living?” It was the maid, the chief maid who had shown me to my room and toured me around the house.For a while I could not say a word or move my body. I watched as she looked around, her fear visible in her ocean-blue eyes. Her jaws were stretched in pan

Chapter 9: A Helping HandI pulled up from the bed, but my legs arched so badly that I fell right back, the pain sharper than I could bear. For a moment, everything flashed back, the way he raped me like I was nothing more than trash. My hands fisted tight, my jaw locked, and I bit my lower lip, trying to swallow the storm of pain and anger rising inside me.I knew it would be hard, maybe impossible to wash the feelings away. I felt more worthless than ever because I couldn’t even save myself from him. Wide awake, fully conscious, and still, I was raped. By a worthless man. That wasn’t something I could accept, yet it happened, and I couldn’t do anything but beg like a weakling.My eyes burned, bloodshot red, and the more the thought of defeat pressed in, the more his words echoed in my head: “I will come back, so get ready.” They returned uninvited, like a curse plastered into my brain.“He would come back? He would come back?” I repeated, trembling. “Who the fuck does he think he i

Chapter 8: Dead or Alive“Now, it is my turn to repay the favor” he pressed me harder against the bed and widened my leg and before I could blink twice I felt him inside of me.Pain surge through me as his dick pressed into my p#ssy, I tried to scream but the scream hanged in my throat.“Please…” The words escaped like a broken plea, and for a second I thought I would pass out. “You don’t need to do this to me… what is my offence?” My voice cracked as another wave of pain shot through me.I could feel the liquid substance pouring out, and I froze. Somehow I managed to catch a glimpse of his face, and the shock on them said it all. He didn’t believe what he was seeing.Slowly, he pulled out of me his d”ck falling flatly on my laps “You… you’re a virgin?” His voice, for the first time, faltered.I couldn’t speak. My lips quivered, my legs clutched together in order to avoid further access, and my whole body trembled. The pain in between my legs was drenching enough , but what
