Gwen’s POV

As always, Adrian was the only visitor in the VIP ward we shared with Kayla. However, he had not brought doctor Liang along. As if on cue, the old doctor's call came late in the evening. Doctor Liang’s voice was sharp, almost crackling with frustration. My chest tightened as I listened, the weight of his words sinking in like lead.

“Adrian… you must understand,” Liang said, his accent thick with urgency, “Gwen’s de-hypnosis has reached a bottleneck. If she remembers all her memori

  • A Kiss For Every Bruise    What Elena Remembered

    GwenThe dining room remained silent long after my mother's words faded. I stared at her. Not because I thought she was mistaken. Because I could see from her expression that she wasn't. The realization was unsettling.For months we had been looking backward, trying to understand what happened six years ago. Meanwhile, one of the people connected to that nightmare might have been walking freely through our lives in the present.My father looked stunned. "When?" The question emerged more sharply than he intended. My mother flinched slightly. Immediately, his expression softened. "Elena, think carefully." She nodded. "I am." Her hands remained wrapped tightly around her coffee cup. I wasn't sure she had taken a single sip since breakfast began. "I never paid much attention to him." She looked ashamed as she said it. "Why would I? Camilla was always introducing people. Lawyers. Advisors. Charity organizers. Business associates." A bitter feeling settled in my chest. That was how Camilla

  • A Kiss For Every Bruise    The Man Beside Her

    GwenFor several seconds, nobody reacted. Not because Adrian's words were unclear but because they were terrifyingly and painfully clear. My mother was the first to find her voice. "What do you mean she wasn't alone?" Adrian placed his phone on the table and looked around the room. His expression had become unreadable. I had learned enough about him over the past six months to know that was never a good sign. The calmer Adrian appeared, the more dangerous the situation usually was."The security footage captured a second individual arriving with her." My father's face darkened. "Why wasn't this noticed immediately?" "Because he never entered through the front." A knot formed in my stomach. Nobody interrupted. Adrian continued. "He remained outside the primary camera angles."My father swore under his breath. The sound startled my mother. Not because of the language. Because Victor Cruz almost never swore. At least not in front of the family. "What happened?" Sebastian asked. "The rev

  • A Kiss For Every Bruise    The Missing Weeks

    GwenNobody said anything for several moments after Miguel's revelation. The dining room seemed unusually quiet despite the presence of so many people. Even the rain outside had softened into a distant murmur, leaving behind a silence that felt almost oppressive.I stared at the table without really seeing it. The pieces were beginning to fit together, but instead of making me feel relieved, the growing picture filled me with dread. Because every answer seemed to expose a darker question beneath it. "What are you thinking?" Adrian's voice was gentle.I looked up and found his eyes on me. Everyone else's followed. For a moment, I considered lying. For months I had become skilled at hiding fear. At pretending certain thoughts didn't exist. At pretending certain memories didn't haunt me. But we were far beyond that now. "I think there are parts missing." The words came out quieter than I intended. Nobody interrupted.I drew a slow breath. "When my memories came back, they didn't return i

  • A Kiss For Every Bruise    A Name From the Past

    GwenThe reaction came so quickly that it caught everyone's attention. Miguel had always been difficult to surprise. Years of working in medicine had trained him to remain calm during emergencies, tragedies, and situations that would send most people into panic.Yet the moment Adrian said the name Marcus Voss, something changed in his expression. It lasted only a second. A slight stiffening of his shoulders but it was enough. Adrian noticed immediately and so did I. "Miguel," Adrian said quietly. "You know that name." Miguel leaned back in his chair and exhaled slowly. "I hoped I never would again."The room grew silent. My father frowned. "Who is he?" Miguel looked toward Adrian before answering. Almost as though confirming whether certain information should finally be shared. Adrian gave a slight nod. That seemed to make up his mind. "About seven years ago," Miguel began, "before Gwen disappeared, there was a private medical conference in Switzerland."I frowned.l because the statem

  • A Kiss For Every Bruise    Threads Beneath the Surface

    GwenThe following morning arrived beneath a sky the color of wet steel. I barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the photograph. The message written on the back. And behind all of it lingered a question that refused to leave me alone. Who had been watching that day? Not because of curiosity. Because of what it represented.For years I had believed my life in Essexville began with Mason Burkely. It was a lie, of course, but it was a lie I had once accepted completely. Then my memories returned and I learned about Kai, about Camilla, about the manipulation that had stolen half a decade from me.Now another possibility had emerged. Perhaps there had always been more people involved than any of us realized. Perhaps the story I thought I understood was only the outer layer of something much larger. The thought stayed with me throughout breakfast.The villa felt different that morning because everyone was alert. Security personnel moved through the grounds more frequently than us

  • A Kiss For Every Bruise    The Shareholder

    GwenFor a moment, nobody in the room seemed capable of speaking. The rain continued falling outside, tapping steadily against the windows, but inside my parents' bedroom, every sound felt distant compared to the words Adrian had just spoken. Camilla DiCarpo. The sole active shareholder.I stared at Adrian, trying to process what that meant. For years, Camilla had portrayed herself as an innocent bystander. Even when evidence began surfacing, she always positioned herself one step away from direct responsibility. She was careful. Calculated. She understood the value of distance. Yet this was not distance. This was ownership.My father was the first to recover. "Are you certain?" Adrian nodded. "I wouldn't have said it otherwise." My father sank into a nearby chair and rubbed a hand across his face. The movement made him look older than I had ever seen him. "What was she thinking?" he asked quietly. "She was thinking nobody wou

  • A Kiss For Every Bruise    Small Hands, Big Lessons

    Adrian’s POVI learned quickly that love did not announce itself with grand gestures. It arrived quietly. In pauses. In the way Kayla watched my hands before she trusted what they might do.Miguel noticed it before I did. “She tracks your movements,” he said one afternoon, low enough that Kayla wou

  • A Kiss For Every Bruise    The Work He Cannot Outsource

    Adrian’s POVThere were wars I could delegate. Hostile takeovers. Political pressure. Enemies who thought fear was leverage. Those were things I knew how to handle, strategies drawn on glass walls, orders given in low voices, consequences delivered with precision.This, however, was not one of thos

    Adrian’s POVMiguel did not ask me to start at the beginning. That was how I knew he was not here as a professional. He was here as my brother.We sat in the quiet living room long after Kayla had fallen asleep upstairs, her small chest rising and falling in the steady rhythm that still startled me

  • A Kiss For Every Bruise    Adrian Learns to Be a Father

    Adrian’s POVI used to believe I was good at learning things quickly. Languages, martial arts, weapons, business strategies, give me a week and I could master anything I touched. But fatherhood? Nothing… absolutely nothing prepared me for this.Kayla sat on the rug in front of me, small legs crosse
