The surgeon had barely stepped out when the nurse came in, her face drawn and serious. She didn’t speak at first—just walked up quietly and placed the clipboard on the table in front of Raymond, the pen tucked neatly on top.

“Mr. Raymond,” she said softly, “we need your signature to begin.”

He stared at the form like it was a ticking bomb.

His fingers moved, slow and stiff, as he picked up the pen. The paper blurred in front of his eyes. Words like emergency surgery, low survival rate, and informed consent danced across the page like ghosts. His eyes paused on her name—Olive Bennett.

It felt wrong, so wrong, to see her name there like that. Like a patient. Like a case file. Not the woman who lit up a room with her laughter, who argued with him when they first met, not even like some one who made him feel whole even when he swore he was broken.

He tightened his grip on the pen, his knuckles going white.

But instead of signing, he slammed it down.

The sound snapped through the room like

  • Accidentally yours   CHAPTER 106: URGENT.

    Mrs. Sarah stood still for a moment, watching Olive, who sat on the couch, her face crumpled in grief. She'd tried everything to comfort her—words, soft gestures, even food—but nothing seemed to break through the wall of sorrow that Olive had built around herself.Olive's constant murmuring was like a repetitive song on a broken loop. "Raymond, you left me just as my baby did. Raymond, you left me..." Each word fell from her lips like the beat of a drum, each one more sorrowful than the last. Tears streamed endlessly down her face, a mask of pain, her eyes swollen and raw from the night's grief.She stepped closer toward Olive slowly, her hands outstretched as she tried to offer comfort. "Olive, dear," she whispered, her voice soft and tender. "It's okay. Raymond is just out for a little while. He'll be back soon. You're not alone."But Olive barely reacted, her voice trailing off into another round of the same heart-wrenching words. "Raymond, you left me just as my baby did..." The r

  • Accidentally yours   CHAPTER 105: FOR HER

    "It's not going to be possible. Forget it. I have everything under control," Raymond said in a clipped tone.There was silence from the other end of the call."No one leaves. One week from now, we will meet in court," he added firmly and ended the call with a harsh tap of his finger.The phone slipped from his hand to the floor, but he didn’t bother to pick it up. His chest was tight, his jaw clenched, and his heart felt like it was caught between a scream and silence.He turned around and looked at Olive.She was lying still, curled up, facing the wall. The light streaming in through the curtains was soft and gold, but there was nothing warm about the scene. Her face was puffy. Even from where he stood, he could see the trail of dried tears that marked her cheeks like a silent map of grief.Raymond moved closer.He sat at the edge of the bed and gently touched the pillow where her head rested.It was damp.Still wet with tears.Which meant... she had cried herself to sleep. All night

    “Hope you like it here,” Raymond said, his deep voice echoing slightly as he opened the grand wooden doors, letting Olive step into the quiet, warm interior of the house.Olive paused, her eyes moving slowly across the spacious living room. The place smelled of pinewood and cinnamon. It was even more beautiful now that she was seeing it physically than it had looked on the phone. Everything was neatly arranged—books lined perfectly on shelves, velvet cushions stacked on an elegant couch, and a large painting of the sea hanging over the fireplace.Raymond stood by her side, watching her reaction closely.She gave only a small nod.He tilted his head, trying to read her silence. “That’s it?” he asked, half-joking. “No ‘wow,’ no ‘this place is beautiful,’ just a nod?”“Come on, darling, cheer up,” he added, looking at her with those lovey-dovey eyes.“It’s nice,” she finally said, her voice soft but strained.Raymond smiled, then gestured toward an elderly woman who stood across the hall

    “Sir, she did a lot—like almost killing your grandson. I’m surprised you still see no issue with that and claim she needs help, not jail,” the officer said, his voice clipped but respectful.The old man shifted his cane and slowly raised his eyes. His thick silver brows furrowed as he took one long breath before responding.“Hmmm. Lies,” he finally snorted. “You speak like someone who was bribed. Tell me, how much did they pay you? I can double it. The lies are too much. You’re someone who believes reports over reality.” He pointed his cane forward. “This is the last time I’ll have this conversation with you. Mia should not spend another daybreak in that cell.”The officer didn’t even flinch at his command.“Sir, there’s nothing we can do,” he replied, his tone now firmer, more drawn. “This is beyond emotional sentiment. The law does not bend for anyone—not even you.”The old man’s nostrils flared. His voice rose without restraint this time, thunderous with rage that could silence a r

    As the car was about to move, the old man came out again and shouted, "Don’t think I’m joking, Raymond."Raymond sighed and pushed open the car door, stepping out. His eyes met the old man's cold, sharp gaze."You’ve said enough, Grandpa," Raymond said, his voice low but burning with emotion. "I’m not listening to you. I’m not your toy, so don’t tell me what to do.""If you truly cared about Mia, you wouldn’t have given her false hope. That false hope is part of why she’s misbehaving," Raymond added bitterly, glancing at his grandfather.Olive stayed in the car, a soft smile forming on her lips—not of joy, but of survival. Her heart was too numb for any new pain. She had grown used to his voice, to the cruel barbs laced into every sentence. Nothing could break her more than what she’d already endured.She now understood—truly understood—why the old man clung to Mia like a lifeline. They were the same, after all: two people wrapped in selfishness and soaked in bitterness.Raymond no lo

    "What’s that?" Olive asked, her voice quiet but steady as she stared at the phone. Her eyes weren’t puffy like before, and though her mood was far from cheerful, the tears had mostly stopped. There was still an ache in her chest, but the storm had passed—at least for now.Raymond didn’t answer immediately. He just handed her the phone, his expression unreadable.Curious, Olive took it from him and looked at the screen. Her breath hitched.It was a photo gallery.Photos of a house. Not just any house, but a breathtaking one. Modern yet warm. Big glass windows. A wrap-around porch. White walls with soft grey stone accents. A flower garden with bright tulips and roses. It looked like something out of a dream.She blinked slowly, her fingers swiping through the photos as if her mind needed help believing what her eyes were seeing.“It’s beautiful,” she managed to say, voice hoarse but honest.Raymond gave a faint nod. “I had it built for you.”Olive looked up, startled. “For me?”He smile

    "You say you want to heal... what about me?" Raymond asked, his voice low and raw. His eyes were red, not from anger but from pain. "Don’t I need healing too?"Olive stood a few feet from him, clutching her luggage like it was the only thing keeping her grounded. Her lips quivered, but she said nothing."Dear, you need to listen to me," Raymond pleaded.More tears slipped down Olive's cheeks, her chest rising and falling with every shallow breath. Her eyes looked empty, lost in a world full of pain. Raymond stepped forward, his voice softer now."Or did I do something wrong too?" he asked.She shook her head gently, not trusting her voice to hold. Slowly, she dragged her luggage closer to herself."You can’t tell me it’s nothing, Olive," Raymond said, walking to where she stood by the door. The desperation in his tone made her lips tremble. "Why? Please, just tell me why."He reached out and gently took her hands in his. Her skin was cold. She was trembling, but she didn’t pull away.

    "You can go look for her in the prison."Those words hit his grandfather like a slap."Prison?"The old man’s eyes widened, his face twisting in disbelief. His lips trembled as he pointed a shaky finger at Raymond."You took Mia to prison? On what grounds? Are you mad? You... you unfilial son!"Raymond didn’t flinch. His jaw tightened as he stood straight, chest rising with anger."You foolish grandson! You’re no different from your father!" the old man shouted, his voice echoing through the house.Raymond’s voice rose with pain. "Do you even care what Olive and I suffered because of Mia? Do you know what we’ve been through?""You think I care?" the old man scoffed."You’ve never cared about this family. All you care about is your company—profit, power, prestige. Huh? Answer me!"Raymond stepped forward, eyes blazing."I’m not surprised you don’t care. You’ve always been blind to everything but control. But don’t you ever compare my father to me. Respect the dead, old man.""Raymond,

  • Accidentally yours   CHAPTER 98: COLD LOOKS

    “Okay, we’ll be there in a few minutes.”Raymond ended the call and slipped the phone into his pocket. His sharp eyes turned to Mr. Stones, who stood quietly in the corner, head low, avoiding his gaze.“You can leave now,” Raymond said, his voice calm but firm.Mr. Stones didn’t speak. He simply nodded slightly, turned around, and walked out. His footsteps were slow. He now regretted not telling Raymond earlier what he had been going through at the hands of Mia. He thought he could handle it himself, but he was wrong. By the time he realized nothing could be done, his daughter was already dead.Daniel, who had been standing silently all this while, stepped forward. His face was emotionless, but a part of him felt sorry for Mr. Stones.“Sir… what do we do now?” he asked, his voice low and uncertain.Raymond didn’t look at him at first. He stared ahead, his jaw clenched. Then he finally spoke, his tone cold and steady.“We’re taking them to prison.”“But sir… we shouldn’t have taken the
