LOGIN(Martha)“What are you saying, Aunt Martha?” Rita’s trembling voice echoes through the corner. “How could Maya ever do something like that?”“Exactly,” Olivia adds in disbelief. “You have to be mistaken. Maya would never do that. She’s Amara’s best friend. The person Amara trusts the most.”Rita steps closer and gently turns me to face her.“I know Maya’s way of caring can be a little… intense sometimes. But she’d never do something so cruel to Amara. If anything, she loves her like a sister.”“That was exactly what I thought too,” I say quietly.A bitter smile touches my lips before disappearing.“I’ve never really liked Maya. There was always something about her that never sat right with me. Something I could never explain.” I swallow the lump in my throat. “But never… not even in my wildest dreams, did I imagine she was capable of something this monstrous.”I draw in a shaky breath.“Maya doesn’t love Amara.”The words leave my mouth slowly.“She doesn’t care about Amara the way
(Rita)“I really feel for Amara.”The words leave my lips as Olivia and I walk out of the hospital room.“She didn’t even realize we were there.”I glance back at the closed door, my chest tightening.“She looked so… empty.”I swallow the lump forming in my throat.“What if this turns into something worse?”“What if she needs help?”Olivia lets out a weary sigh.“I know Amara.”There’s quiet certainty in her voice.“She’s stronger than most people think.”“She won’t let herself disappear into the pain.”She offers a faint smile.“She’s going to get through this. That’s just who she is.”A heavy silence settles between us as we continue down the corridor.Then another thought strikes me.“And now…”I hesitate.“It seems this has affected her relationship with Sir Rayner too.”Olivia turns to me.“I saw him leaving just before we came in.”“The look on his face…”I shake my head.“He looked completely shattered.”“It made me think Amara must’ve told him to stay away.”I frown.“Do you t
(Rayner)My hands tighten around the steering wheel as I press harder on the accelerator.Stefan’s voice won’t stop replaying in my head.“I think something terrible happened. You weren’t around, so she wanted you to have this. She said the letter would explain everything.”I slam my palm against the steering wheel.Her final words from that letter stab at me all over again.“Let’s end everything here. Don’t come looking for me. And don’t bother trying to find me.”No, Amara.I grip the wheel until my knuckles turn white, refusing to take my eyes off the road.I can’t do that.I won’t.Forgive me…Because I can’t stay away.I’m coming to you.And nothing is going to stop me.*******I reach her hospital room and shove the door open.For a split second, I brace myself for someone to stop me.A nurse. Her family. Anyone.But the room is silent.Empty.Except for her.She looks so small sitting on that hospital bed.Fragile. Broken.The moment our eyes meet, my heart clenches.I see it a
(Amara)I’m seated on the hospital bed, staring into nothing.The voices around me drift in and out like distant echoes, but none of them truly reach me.It’s as if I’m here…Yet I’m not.My body occupies this room, but my mind doesn’t.“Amara.”Mom calls my name.I hear her.I just can’t bring myself to answer.I don’t even have the strength to lift my head.Everything inside me feels unbearably heavy.Heavy with grief.Heavy with guilt.Heavy with the crushing pain of losing another child.Maybe this is my fate.Maybe I was never meant to become a mother.Otherwise…Why does this keep happening to me?My eyes sting.Five times.I’ve had five chances to hold my own child.Five tiny lives growing inside me.Five little heartbeats that filled me with hope.And every single time…Before I could ever hold them in my arms…I lost them.What kind of cruel fate keeps taking them away from me?A tear slips down my cheek.“I can’t believe Grace would do something like this to Amara.”Maya’s v
(Stella)I grab my phone from the table, my eyes narrowing at the name flashing across the screen.Bar Man.My stomach drops.Why the hell is he calling me?I already warned him never to call unless I reached out first.So why now?I let out a slow breath.Fine.I’ll hear him out.I swipe to answer and raise the phone to my ear.“You…”“Ma’am… please save me.”His voice comes out low and strained. Every word trembles with panic.My fingers tighten around the phone.“Wha… what are you saying?” I stammer. “Save you from what? How?”“He found me.”My heartbeat stutters.“Who found you?”“The man whose drink I spiked on your orders, ma’am.”His words hit like a punch.“He sent his men after me. They tracked me down.”“What?”My voice comes out as nothing more than a whisper.“Yes.” He drags out the word, breathing heavily. “You have to save me before they catch me. You know what’ll happen if they do.”His voice hardens.“You won’t be safe either.”The threat lands exactly where it’s meant
(Amara)I’m quietly walking down the stairs when my mother’s words drift back into my mind.“It’s nothing really, dear. Just an old friend who went missing.”She’d said it so casually.Too casually.Now that I think about it… why does it feel like a lie?Not just any lie.One she’d rehearsed long before that moment ever came.“Trust me, Amara. She’s not someone you should be bothering yourself about.”I remember the way she’d held my wrist as she said those words. Her gaze had been steady. Calm.But Father hadn’t looked calm.Not even once.I can still picture the faint irritation on his face, as though he wanted to be anywhere else except standing there listening to her.Was I imagining it?Or was I simply reading too much into everything?A quiet sigh slips from my lips.Maybe I’m overthinking it…I finally reach the bottom of the stairs and head toward the dining room when a familiar voice cuts through my thoughts.“So just because you’re not going to the office today, you’ve decid
(Amara)The drive back from the clinic had been silent, each of us lost in thoughts we couldn’t share. And now, standing here, the weight of what the doctor had said presses on me.“No.”The word leaves my mouth before I can stop it.I turn to face them. Felix and Selina stand behind me, side by si
(Amara)“Girl, a sick leave?” Maya’s voice rings through the phone.I’d called the office earlier to request one because right now, I can’t even face myself—let alone clients. “Don’t tell me you’re still floating on the moon from your time with Felix last night that you decided to cover it up with
(Amara)I want to speak. I want to say something.But the words refuse to come.My eyes stay glued to them instead.The way she stretches her hands toward him.The way he rushes to her side, holding her, asking if she’s alright.The way she nods gently, like a woman loved right, before leaning into
(Amara)“Mmm.”Maya hums as she rounds the corner and catches me packing up my bag. “Don’t tell me you rushed to clear your desk on time just because you’re eager to run home?”I glance at her, smile, then return to arranging my things.Maya, my best friend and work colleague, has never been one to
