Chapter 108: Rebuilding Us

Diana's pov

The morning sun slipped through the hospital window, warm and gentle. It touched everything…..the chair, the sheets, the machines….but most of all, it touched my heart.

I blinked my eyes open slowly. I wasn’t in a dark warehouse. I wasn’t tied up or hurt. I was in a hospital room, in a clean bed, wrapped in soft sheets. The smooth sound of a beeping monitor reminded me I was alive.

And then, I saw him.

Star, my little boy, was curled up beside me. He had cried so much the night before that he fell asleep while still hugging me.

His small hand held my shirt tightly. Like he was afraid I’d leave again.

My eyes filled with tears.

I turned my head and kissed his forehead gently. “I’m right here, baby. I’m not going anywhere.”

    Chapter 110: Coming HomeDiana’s POVThe hospital room smelled like antiseptic and baby powder. The sunlight came in through the window like it always did, but this morning felt different. Lighter. Quieter. Free.I was finally going home.“Are you sure you want to sit up now?” my mom asked, fussing with the edge of my wrapper. “Let the nurse help you.”I smiled softly. “I’m okay, Mama. I want to do it myself… just this once.”She sighed but stepped back, letting me pull myself up from the bed slowly. My body still ached in places, and the bandages on my side reminded me I wasn’t completely healed. But I was standing. I was moving. I was alive.Xander’s POVI stood by the hospital window, sipping coffee. Diana was asleep again, Star curled beside her like a kitten. The boy wouldn’t let her go. Not even for a minute.I watched them, my heart tight in my chest.Her son.She had a child.And not once… not once did she tell me about it.I ran my hand through my hair and sighed. It shouldn’

    Chapter 107: The Final BlowDiana pov My whole body felt heavy.My cheeks burned from her slap. My wrists were raw from the ropes. But somehow… somehow, I was still breathing.Mercy’s words echoed inside my skull like hammers…every insult, every lie, every time she spat on the truth.I was nothing? A disgrace? A mistake?No.Not anymore.As the police shouted, swarming in with their guns raised, Mercy froze like a wild animal caught in headlights. I saw fear flash in her eyes.That’s when something in me snapped.I pushed against the cold floor with every ounce of strength. My body screamed, but I stood. My knees were all aching, and my breath shook, but I stood.“Mercy!” I shouted.She turned around, startled…maybe thinking I would beg to release her or cry for her Mercy. But not this time.I worked toward her, and before anyone could stop me, I raised my arm…SLAP!A dirty, loud, full-force slap across her face.Her head twisted from the force. Her mouth dropped open in shock.The

    Chapter 106-Justice Will Be ServedMERCY POV So… Diana has a son?I laughed. “Wow. Do you have a child? You’re not even ashamed of yourself.”I strolled across the dusty floor of the warehouse, smiling to myself.“Who got you Pregnant… and still looking and acting like you’re some pure angel. You’re not. You’re a disgrace to our family. A big one.”I hissed and shook my head.“I feel sorry for the man who got you pregnant. Whoever he is, he must have the worst luck in the world….imagine ending up with someone like you.”Diana looked at me with tears in her eyes. I didn’t care.I stepped closer, lowered my voice, and spat the words out.“Girls like you don’t deserve anything good in life. I remember John your beloved husband telling me that he was feeding you with drugs that would prevent you from getting pregnant because he didn’t want to end up with an unlucky person like you. You think helping me in the past makes you better than me? That I owe you forever because you gave me a pla

    Chapter 105: Mercy’s downfall Mercy’s POVI woke up with a spark in my chest.Today is it.God designed this day for me.Diana will vanish…and then, at last, I’ll be Xander’s wife.He will run into my arms once she’s gone.I smiled widely.I grabbed my phone and dialed my office manager.“I won’t come to work today,” I said calmly.“No problem, Mercy,” she replied.Perfect.I danced toward the bathroom, heart pounding with excitement.I brushed my teeth slowly, letting the minty taste wake me fully.I stepped into the shower, the warm water washing away doubt, washing away everything but power.Songs poured out of me between sprays“Finally… finally I see it all coming together…”I dry off and step into a body‑hugging robe. I stare into the mirror and whisper and “Today, Diana falls.”I changed….quickly but carefully into a hoodie and sweater that covered my face.I packed my cross‑body bag with three champagne glasses and the bottle for our toast.I gingerly put on sunglasses, even

  • A Pulse And Betrayal    Chapter 104: she is missing

    Chapter 104: she is missing Xander povThe wind outside had stopped.It was quiet now.Too quiet.I stayed low behind the wall of the warehouse, holding my breath. Jackson crouched beside me, eyes on the side door. The officers were in place. Two by the left wall. Three at the back. Everyone was ready.My eyes stayed on the tracker app. The red dot hadn’t moved. Diana was still inside. Still alive.“We wait for Mercy,” I whispered into my earpiece.Jackson gave a short nod.The tech guy beside us tapped his headset. “Recording is live,” he said.I looked up and whispered, “Let’s hear what he’s saying.”We all stayed still as Ghost’s voice came through the tiny speaker in the officer’s ear.It was clear.“He’s talking to himself,” the tech said. “He’s saying Mercy will arrive soon. He’s waiting for payment.”I clenched my jaw.That was all we needed.Proof.Every word Ghost said was being recorded now ...every sound, every lie, every plan. This wasn’t just about saving Diana anymore.
