Damien’s POV

“Is this some kind of joke?” I mocked back. But inside, my heart was hammering. I could tell that he was truly concerned.

But no, it’s impossible. Celeste is in a sanatorium, under expert care. They know what they’re doing. How can she be in danger?

"Isn’t this what you’ve always wanted?" Theo spat with venom.

Then—the line went dead.

I stared at my phone, stunned and confused. Was Celeste really in danger? Had I somehow caused it?

A strange, uneasy feeling formed in my gut. I tried to push it away, to remind myself that Theo was probably exaggerating.

But panic began to take over me. My pulse pounded in my ears.

Just then, Genevieve reached out, her fingers brushing against my arm.

"Damien…" Her voice was soft, soothing, but it made me even more uneasy.

“What?”

There was hesitation in her eyes. "I didn’t want to tell you this," she murmured, lowering her gaze as if reluctant. "But since Theo is getting involved… I think you should know the truth."

I frowned. "What tru

    Damien’s POVI grabbed the bastard by the collar and slammed him against the concrete wall of the holding room. The chair clattered to the side, and the air between us vibrated with fury.“What the hell did you do to her?” I growled, nose inches from his. “Tell me exactly what you did to Celeste.”Dr. Halbridge’s breath hitched. He raised both palms, shaking. “P-please—Mr. Vaughn—I didn’t mean harm—”“Just tell me what you did to her there!” He stammered, his words crashing over each other. “I-I was just following orders. We had documents. Authorizations. From you!”I slammed him back again, harder this time. His head hit the wall with a dull thud. “Stop lying to me!”“I swear!” he cried. “Everything had your seal. Your name. The Vaughn crest.”My pulse thundered in my ears. I could see her now—Celeste, pale and trembling in that hospital bed, her body reacting to medications she never should’ve had in her system. My hands shook.“You drugged her,” I said with accusation. My heart fe

    Third Person POVViv blinked at her husband, her features stiff with disbelief. “Nathaniel,” she said sharply. “You can’t be serious.”“I’ve never been more serious,” he replied, calm but cold. “Something doesn’t add up.”Michael looked between them, jaw tense. “Dad, that’s—look, I know things are messy, but this theory? It’s too far-fetched.”“Is it?” Nathaniel turned to him. “The girl has the exact same blood type as Genevieve. That could be a coincidence. But the allergy?” He looked at his wife, locking eyes. “Viv, it’s genetic.”Viv flinched. “That doesn’t prove anything. There are hundreds—thousands—of people who could share those traits.”“And yet,” Nathaniel continued, pulling something discreetly from his inner coat pocket, “here we are.”Viv’s breath caught as she stared at what he held—several loose strands of hair, carefully wrapped in a tissue. “What is that?”“She had a brush on her bedside table. When she closed her eyes, I just had to take some samples. I wasn’t going t

    Third Person POVViv Lancaster dabbed beneath her eye with a folded silk handkerchief as she stepped out of the hospital room with her husband. “She’s… not what I expected,” she murmured. “Stronger. Quieter.”Nathaniel gave a small grunt in response, his gaze already scanning the hallway as though mentally filing everything away.But both of them paused when they spotted their son Michael just a few feet down the hall—deep in conversation with the young woman who’d met up with them earlier. Her name’s Harper, I think, Viv remembered silently. Celeste’s best friend. But her eyes narrowed as she watched them seemingly in an argument. The woman stood rigid, arms crossed, expression sharp.The moment was fleeting. In a split-second burst of motion, Harper turned toward the hospital door, pushed it open, and disappeared inside before Michael could stop her—shutting the door firmly behind her.Michael cursed under his breath and rubbed the back of his neck.“Hhmmm,” Viv commented. “That on

    Celeste’s POVThe door creaked open. My breath hitched.Viv Lancaster stepped into the room first, her heels nearly silent against the floor. Nathaniel followed, tall and composed, but visibly uncomfortable. I felt a strange jolt ripple through me, like cold water running down my spine. For a second, I thought I was hallucinating.“What…” My voice came out hoarse. “Why are you here?”Viv’s gaze swept over me, her expression softening in a way I hadn’t expected. Pity. That was the first thing I saw. Not hostility. Not judgment. Just… quiet, aching pity.“We came to apologize,” she said gently. “To see you. If that’s alright.”I didn’t answer right away. My pulse fluttered erratically. Part of me wanted to shout. To scream that they were a little late. The other part—the one curled beneath layers of exhaustion and trauma—simply couldn’t find the strength to fight.So I nodded. Even though I wasn’t entirely sure if they’d really been responsible for covering up Genevieve’s wrong doings.

    Celeste’s POVI woke to the sound of murmured voices. My head throbbed—a dull, pressing ache—and every inch of my body felt like it had been wrung out and left to dry.“Celeste?”I blinked against the light, vision slowly sharpening.Theo sat beside me, elbows resting on his knees, dark circles smudged under his eyes like shadows that refused to leave. Harper was curled up in the corner chair, her hands wrapped around a coffee cup that had likely gone cold.“You’re awake,” Harper breathed, standing immediately to come closer. “Thank God.”Theo leaned in. His hand found mine, warm and solid. “You scared the hell out of us.”I opened my mouth, but only a rasp came out. “Water?”Theo poured from the jug and brought the cup to my lips, his movements gentle. After a few sips, I cleared my throat. “What… happened?”“You were hit by a motorcycle when you pushed Tomas out of the way,” Harper said quietly. “It came out of nowhere.”“The guy had no plates. No ID. It might’ve been—” Theo hesitat

    Harper’s POVI spotted him the second I stepped into the hallway. Damien Vaughn—towering, grim, all sharp lines and shadowed brows. And standing across from him was Tomas, the janitor Celeste had risked her life for. The air between them was tight. Like something was about to snap.Damien was saying something low, too low to hear. But I knew that look. The same one he wore when he thought he had control—when he wanted answers.Poor Tomas. “Excuse me,” I said, cutting across the space between them, my heels clicking a little too sharply against the floor.Damien turned, surprised. His gaze flicked toward me, then narrowed.Great. I’d already ruined his interrogation scene.“Harper,” he muttered. “You’re here.”“Of course.” I offered him a tight smile. “I’m always here for Celeste. I suppose that’s why you’re here too? To check on her?”“Yes, I’m really hoping she’ll be fine. They’ve found some traces of —”“Yeah, more tests will be done,” I interrupted. Then turning to Tomas, I said,
