The sunbeam warmed my skin as I walked through the glass doors of the hospital. It should have been like starting over, like having a miracle set before me. But instead, I walked as if I had entered right in the eye of the storm.

Mark was leaning against the car in a relaxed pose, arms crossed, sunglasses on the nose as always. He stood up straight when he saw me. "Miss Matthews," he said, opening the back door as though nothing had changed.

I hesitated. “Please, don’t call Landon.”

His brow furrowed. “Ma’am?”

I adjusted the straps on my bag. “Don’t tell him I’m out. Not yet.”

His lips had begun to open as if he were about to ask something, but an abrupt tension in my posture restrained him.

"I comprehend," he finally said.

I nodded and moved over into the back seat. "I have to go to the family guesthouse, not the penthouse,"

"One in Rosehill?" he asked, briefly glancing over his shoulder in my direction.

"Indeed, serene. I yearn for such calmness."

Mark declined to take the issue fur

    I bit my lower lip as I moaned softly.“Good morning beautiful…” Beside me, my boyfriend's Landon's fingers played with my nipples under my lacy nightwear.I kept my eyes closed enjoying the sensation, enjoying his husky morning voice against my ear.“Thank..thank you for the…” I trailed off as his hand wandered down my body and settled on my thighs.“Thank you for what?” His voice was so close that I could feel his breath on my cheek. I could not think properly, not with his hands on my body. “Thank you for picking this night dress out last night.” I finally said, throwing my head back as his finger found its way to my panties.He chuckled, and placed a kiss on my neck that sent shivers down my spine. Everyday, I thanked God for a man like Landon.“Don't be silly. I have done that every night since we got into this relationship, years ago. When will you stop thanking me?” He didn't stop his sweet assault. His thumb grazed my clit, and I bit back a sharp moan.“I'm practically blin

    The hot summer breeze hit me as I stepped out of the hospital, and I wondered why I had chosen to wear thick clothing.Landon had told me it would only get hotter, but I'd insisted on ‘’covering up' properly.“Careful, now.” The driver, a Somalian man with an accent, said, as he guided me towards the car.This was another privilege I enjoyed from being loved by a wealthy man like Landon. I had my own personal driver.“You should've waited for me inside.” he chided gently as he helped me inside the car.I smiled at him, hoping that he would not notice how scared I was inside.Dr. Knox's words still rang in my head. It was hard to forget. I had a real chance of seeing again.“The Dr. had offered to walk me, besides you were late.” I replied, turning my face to the window as he drove out of the hospital.I could see the blurry outline of the buildings and trees as we sped past.My thoughts went back to the Dr's words. A surgery that could restore my sight, felt unreal. I didn't want to h

    It didn't stop.I pressed my ear to the bathroom door, and a hand to my mouth to keep my whimpering silent.Landon didn't stop cheating on me. Now, as I listened to his hearty laughter and the ‘pit pat’ of the water as it hit the ground, I wondered how I had not noticed it.“I miss you, baby…” I heard him say, and I took a step back. I didn't want to hear anymore.I'd stepped backward, and the world blurred for a second before coming back into harsh focus.My brain was screaming at me to run and to just pretend I hadn't heard any of it. “So do you need me right now? I could…”Another trembling step back from the bathroom door, every word from his mouth made it harder to breathe. This was not the Landon I knew. The more I listened, the more I felt like I wasn't even real.Like this all wasn't real.He laughed-a rich sound with that same flow that once drew me to him like a moth to a flame. Now it was all wrong-twisted. It showed me something that I had been too blind to see, too bl

    The bathroom floor was cold.I laid on the cold bathroom floor, every inch of my body screaming in pain. My head was in a war zone, But the worst part? The silence. It was suffocating, like the air itself had turned heavy and still. I tried to sit up, but my limbs felt like lead. Then, a strange pressure pressed down upon my eyelids, the feeling of being sucked into some kind of dark, open space. My hand flew to my face, fingers shaking. Wet. Sticky.Blood.It trickled into my fingers, a slow tide that felt heavy and suffocating. Panic clawed at me, I tried to open my eyes, but it was useless. The effort itself was painful, and the outlines I once could see were gone.I could only see pitch darkness.My right eye, burned like fire, the pain so strong it sent my whole body tumbling back down when I tried again to stand up.I can't see.It hit my brain like a streak of lightning, and I felt breathless, frozen in fear.

    Something seemed amiss.I blinked twice, then again, slowly. The pain in the back of my eyes burned, yet it was subdued—muted. The world wasn't black. It was something else. Liquid light nudged the edges of my vision, like the first hint of day through mist."Elara?" There came a voice through the mist. Filling. Warm.I shifted my head slightly, and the motion had the sensation of pulling my skull through sandpaper."Elara, do you hear me?" The voice came closer—Dr. Knox.I had a dry mouth, though I could muster a rasp. "I can hear you."A sigh of relief. "Well. That's fine. You certainly scared us enough with your post-op experience.""Did. did it work?" My voice cracked, though I barely noticed. My fingertips hurt on the rough surface of the hospital bed.There existed a pause. I could feel it before she went on.You tell me.I wrenched them open as far as I could. Light blinded me: searing, brilliant, intruding, yes. Light. No dark outlines dancing in the dark. No hues. Burning, re
