CHAPTER FIFTY ONE: AT THE BEACH Nicole's POV —

The morning of the fifth day I finally slept without the nightmares.

I knew it was five days because I had been marking them the way you marked things when the days had stopped having their usual distinguishing features, by the light through the window and the sound of the water and the specific quality of hunger that arrived at roughly the same hour each morning regardless of whether I had eaten properly the day before.

I hadn't been eating proper

    Sandra's EndingI sat in the living room with my phone in my hands, staring at the article for a long time before I could bring myself to read it properly.Fletcher had forwarded it to me earlier with just two words: It’s done. No explanation needed. The headline said everything — Disgraced Doctor Loses All Licenses Amid Poisoning Scandal.They had taken everything from her. Every medical license stripped. Her connections on the board exposed one by one — the bribes, the quiet favors, the years of playing both sides. The reports were brutal and detailed. I scrolled slowly, taking it all in. Part of me had waited for this moment for so long, but now that it was here, I felt strangely hollow.There was one last interview.Sandra had spoken from some hidden location. Her face was blurred and her voice distorted, but I would have recognized her anywhere. She tried to spin the story, calling herself a victim caught between powerful families. She even dared to say she had only been trying t

    The house was finally quiet.Most of the lights were off, and only the soft glow of Loise’s nightlight spilled into the hallway — a gentle pink star that rotated slowly across the ceiling. I stood outside her door for a long moment, heart beating heavily against my ribs. Fletcher had gone to his study to make some calls, giving me this moment alone with her. He knew I needed it.I pushed the door open gently.Loise was sitting up in bed, surrounded by her favorite stuffed animals, wearing the soft purple pajamas we’d picked out together weeks ago. She looked small and impossibly wise at the same time, her dark eyes watching me as I stepped inside.“Can’t sleep?” I asked softly, closing the door behind me.She shook her head. “I was waiting for you.”My throat tightened. I crossed the room and climbed onto her bed, sitting beside her and pulling the blanket over both our laps. She immediately scooted closer until her head rested against my arm. For a while, we just sat like that, breat

    LoiseThe hospital smelled like medicine and flowers. I didn’t like it. I had been here too many times, and every time it made my tummy feel funny. But today was different. Today I was going home.Daddy held my hand as we walked out of the room. His other arm was still wrapped up in a big white bandage, but he said it didn’t hurt anymore. I didn’t believe him. Daddies always say things don’t hurt when they do.My heart was beating fast. Not because of the hospital. Because of her.Nicole.I saw her before she saw us.She was standing in the middle of the big lobby, wearing a soft white sweater and jeans. Her hair was down, and she kept twisting her fingers together like she was nervous. When her eyes found me, something in my chest went tight. I stopped walking.Daddy looked down at me. “Loise?”I didn’t answer. I just looked at Nicole across the shiny hospital floor. I was six years old, but I felt older right then. Like Daddy when he’s in his office and someone is trying to trick hi

    The Memory That Comes BackThe hospital room felt too still that night.The lights had been dimmed to a soft amber glow, and the only sounds were the steady beep of the heart monitor and the faint hum of the air conditioning. Fletcher had finally gone to rest in the private suite next door after I insisted he needed sleep more than I did. His shoulder was healing, but the shadows under his eyes told me he was running on nothing but sheer will.I lay on my back, staring at the ceiling tiles, willing my mind to quiet. But sleep refused to come. Instead, my thoughts kept circling the conversation we’d had earlier—his pain, my pain, the gap that still sat between us like a living thing.I closed my eyes.At first, it was just warmth. The kind that settles deep in your chest on a cold night. Then came the smell—rich, savory, slightly spicy. Broth. Garlic. Noodles.My breath caught.The memory didn’t slam into me like the nightmares. It bloomed slowly, gently, like ink spreading through wa

    He Doesn't Believe Her (Yet)The quiet after our conversation didn’t last long.We had moved from the hospital bed to the small couch by the window. Fletcher’s good arm was around me, my head resting against his uninjured shoulder. For a moment, it felt like peace. Like we had finally crossed the hardest bridge. But I should have known better. With Fletcher, nothing was ever fully settled until every shadow was dragged into the light.His fingers traced slow circles on my arm, but I could feel the tension humming beneath his skin.“Nicole,” he said, voice low. “There’s something I need to say.”I stiffened. I already knew what was coming. I had felt it in the silences between his reassurances earlier.I pulled back just enough to look at his face. “Then say it.”He exhaled heavily, jaw tight. The city lights outside painted sharp angles across his features. “I know this isn’t fair. I know it, and I hate myself for needing to say it anyway. But I can’t pretend it doesn’t eat at me.”He

    I didn’t know how to start.The hospital room was quiet except for the low hum of machines and the occasional distant voice in the hallway. Fletcher sat in the armchair beside my bed, his injured shoulder wrapped tightly under his shirt, a faint stain of blood still visible near the collar. He looked exhausted but immovable, like nothing in the world could make him leave this room. I had asked the nurses for privacy, and they had finally listened.My hands twisted the edge of the thin blanket. The words had been sitting in my chest for days, growing heavier every time I looked at him.“I need to tell you everything,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “The parts I’ve been avoiding.”Fletcher leaned forward slightly, dark eyes fixed on me. He didn’t speak. He just waited.I swallowed hard. “After the fire… the one I still don’t fully remember… I wasn’t just hurt. My face—” My fingers rose instinctively, tracing the line of my jaw, the softer curve of my cheek. “It was different b

    Nicole's POVI didn't know how, but I somehow managed to get out of bed this morning. Every step I took was shaky and my legs felt like jelly beans even up to this point."Daddy, what did you do to Miss Nicole?" Loise asked over breakfast and we both froze.My throat went dry with guilt and horror.
