Runaway with a Baby

Twisted

Thalia Ruelle had always loved Mikael Vireaux but her love was never returned. The day she finally confessed her feelings, he broke her heart with gentle words… and the announcement that he was marrying her best friend, Alina Lowe. Still, Thalia stayed by their side, hiding her heartbreak behind a smile. Until the night everything shattered. Thalia visits Alina to congratulate her on the engagement. But instead of celebration, she’s met with anger and screaming until Alina throws her out. By morning, Alina went missing. Everything was a mess and everyone assumed she was dead. And the last person to see her was Thalia. When Kael returns from a business trip and learns of Alina’s death and the rumors surrounding it, he makes a chilling assumption that Thalia who was consumed by jealousy and rejection, murdered her best friend. As punishment, he does the unthinkable. He imprisons her in his own home. Now bound to him, Thalia lives beneath Kael’s cruelty. His coldness, his rage, his quiet vow to make her suffer. And yet… she never stops showing him kindness and her love. But when Kael finds out the truth of Alina's fake death, Thalia’s spirit has already fractured. To prove her innocence, her only choice was to take her own life. Will Kael realize the truth in time to save her? Or has his revenge already destroyed the only woman who ever truly loved him?

Chapter 1: Soaked
Thalia's POVI woke to the sound of footsteps echoing across the floor like a warning. I stirred with my eyes barely fluttering open, and my limbs stiff from sleeping curled in the same position all night. The cold in the room was already biting. I had pulled the thin blanket tight around me before falling asleep, but it hadn’t done much. The sheets beneath me remained cold even from hours of lying still.But I didn’t have time to think.A second later, a sudden wave of freezing water slammed into me.I gasped, choking on the shock. My body jerked upright and my lungs seized from the chill. The blanket clung uselessly to me, soaked, heavy, and icy as it dropped from my shoulders. The water had drenched everything...my clothes, the mattress, my hair. My fingers clawed at the fabric sticking to my chest as if I could pull it off fast enough to stop the sting. My breath came in sharp, broken bursts.My eyes immediately flew up and there he was.Kael.He was standing just a few feet away,

Chapter 2: Rejected
Flashback One Month Ago...Thalia's POVThe rooftop bar was warm with low amber light, glowing like a hush between all the laughter and soft music around us. But I barely noticed any of it.My heart was pounding too loud to hear anything else.Alina had just stood from the table and excused herself, saying she needed to fix her lipstick. She left her drink half-full and her perfume lingering in the space between me and Kael like smoke that wouldn’t leave. I watched her disappear behind the restroom doors, then slowly turned my head toward him.He looked peaceful. Effortlessly beautiful in the way only he could be. Leaning back, glass in hand, eyes reflecting the flickering skyline as if this night were like any other. As if I weren’t sitting across from him with my hands clenched beneath the table, trying to hold everything in.I hadn’t planned to say anything. Not really.But something about the way the night felt...how the wind whispered across the terrace, how the stars were blurre

Chapter 3: Fragile Thread
Thalia's POVI remained seated in the shadows far longer than I intended. The night had grown cooler, and though I felt the breeze brush across my arms and neck, it did little to quiet the feverish ache pulsing in my chest.Part of me had hoped that speaking the truth aloud might have lightened the burden somehow. That maybe, in telling him, I would feel free. But freedom had not come.And as I was out disheartened and alone, without warning, the silence broke.It began faintly, in a soft stir of voices. Then came laughter, sudden and loud. Cheers, whistles, applause and then a rising wave of energy crashing through the rooftop bar.My brows furrowed. I turned my head toward the noise, uncertain. My heart already beginning to race out of dread. A strange hush fell just before the clapping swelled again, louder now, and more insistent. And then someone shouted:“Say yes!”I instantly froze.For a moment, I couldn’t breathe.I rose from the bench slowly, drawn forward against my will, a

Chapter 4: Slammed Shut
Flashback Continuation...Thalia’s POV The morning light filtered softly through the cracked blinds of my apartment, but I barely felt its warmth.Sleep had come and gone like a thief, slipping through my fingers as my thoughts stayed tangled with everything that had happened the night before.I hadn’t congratulated Alina aft6er last night's celebration.I left her there. In the middle of what was supposed to be the happiest night of her life.And now, guilt gnawed at my chest like a dull blade.After everything, I told myself that today...no matter how heavy my heart still felt, I had to make it right.So I took a bath and picked a soft cream blouse, something neat and simple. My eyes were hollow, rimmed with the ache of a sleepless night, but I pulled my hair back and forced my lips into a smile.She deserved this. She deserved someone who could be happy for her, even if I wasn’t.Even if my heart still clenched every time I closed my eyes and saw Mikael’s face not looking at me, n

Chapter 5: Arrested
Flashback Continuation...A day had passed since Thalia last saw Alina, but the memory of their encounter clung to her like a bruise that refused to fade.She tried to return to her routines. She answered work emails, read proposals, edited drafts. But no matter how much she busied her hands, her thoughts remained restless. Every quiet moment was haunted by Alina’s face,. That pale expression, the hollow eyes rimmed with tears, and the sharpness in her voice when she’d screamed at her to leave.Thalia had replayed it over and over in her mind. She had gone there to make amends. She wanted to be happy for her friend. She had made a choice that cost her her own heart and yet, Alina hadn’t let her in. She had shut her out completely. Without explanation. Without a single word of what had broken between them.And now, no matter how many times Thalia had tried calling and messaging her, she wouldn't answer. Maybe Alina just didn’t want to see her. Maybe she was still angry. Maybe she had e

Chapter 6: Revenge
Flashback Continuation...Thalia barely had time to react before her wrists were yanked behind her again as the cold steel of the handcuffs began biting into her skin. Her arms ached from how tight they were, but no one seemed to care.The moment they reached the street outside her office, she was roughly ushered toward a black unmarked car. Her legs stumbled beneath her from the shock, but the officers didn’t slow down. One of them practically shoved her into the backseat, and her shoulder hit the doorframe on the way in.“Careful!” she winced, but no one answered.The door slammed behind her.One officer took the wheel, another sat in the passenger’s seat. The third slid in beside her in the back, far too close, with his uniform brushing against her arm.The engine growled to life, and the city around them began to blur behind tinted windows.Thalia’s heart thudded violently in her chest. She sat rigid, her hands trembling in her lap, the cuffs digging deeper with every jolt of the

Chapter 7: Still
Thalia's POVI remained curled on the cold, soaked mattress while my body trembled. Everything hurt...my arms where he’d gripped me, my back from where I’d hit the dresser, and my chest from all the accusations I have received from him and from everything I’d lost in a single, brutal moment.Still, I pushed myself upright.I didn’t even know why. Maybe because some desperate part of me still hoped Kael would see the truth if I just endured long enough. Maybe because I knew giving up now wouldn’t change anything. Or maybe… maybe I was already too numb to feel the difference.The cold floor bit into my bare feet as I staggered toward the bathroom. My soaked clothes clung to me like second skin, heavy and suffocating, and peeling them off felt like tearing at my own flesh. I stepped under the shower.The water ran warm yet I barely noticed.I stood there, staring blankly at the tiled wall as it streamed down my face and shoulders, washing away the remnants of his hatred...but not the ach

Chapter 8: Pain
Thalia's POVKael didn’t pause as he reached the top of the stairs. Instead, he pushed the door open and disappeared into the dimly lit room that had become both his sanctuary and her prison.I followed.The moment the door shut behind me, the atmosphere shifted, like the walls themselves knew what was expected to happen here.Kael stood by the window with his back still turned and the light casting shadows across his shoulders. He looked calm, composed. But I knew better. He wasn’t calm. He was cruel.“Come here,” he said without looking.I moved forward with each step tightening the knot in my chest.He turned when I stopped a few feet away. His eyes met mine. His gaze was dark and empty. The softness I once knew was gone. Whatever we once were didn’t exist in those eyes anymore.I swallowed. “Kael…”But he didn’t blink. “Now,” he began, “I’m giving you a chance.”My breath stilled.“Did you kill her?”The words hit me like a slap and my knees wavered.I was still bare in front of h

Chapter 9: Trembling Hands
Thalia's POVI didn’t even have time to scream.Only enough breath left to wonder what I had done this time.Pain throbbed through my back and my scalp still burned from the force of the yank. My chest rose and fell in ragged, startled gasps as I lay sprawled on the cold marble floor, the ceiling above me blurring through tears I didn’t remember letting fall.But as I slowly looked up still dazed and still trying to steady my breath...I froze.It wasn’t Kael.It was Amara.Alina’s older sister.She stood above me like a storm in human form. Her eyes were blazing, lips curled into a sneer, and her fury was practically shaking off her in waves. Her expensive heels clicked as she stepped closer, her fingers twitching like she could barely restrain herself.“I’ve waited so long for this,” she hissed.My heart plummeted.I pushed myself up weakly, but my limbs were still too unsteady. My hands slipped on the floor, useless, as she crouched beside me.“You don’t deserve to stand,” Amara sai

Chapter 10: Hatred
Kael’s POVI had just stepped out of the car after wrapping up a lucrative investor’s meeting. The numbers were good. The future looked promising. And for a brief second, I allowed myself the illusion of peace.Until I heard violent screaming echoing from inside the mansion.I immediately picked up my pace and began walking faster down the stone pathway leading to the front door.One of my guards stood calmly at his post with his hands clasped behind his back like nothing was wrong. That alone confused me.“What’s happening?” I asked calmly.The guard didn’t even blink as he answered. “Sir, Miss Amara Lowe is inside. She’s beating her up.”Her.He didn’t even need to say her name but I already knew who he meant. But somehow, it worried me.“Thalia?” I said, not even realizing I had said it out loud.“Yes, sir,” the guard answered without hesitation.I didn’t respond. But I was already running.My steps were thunder across the marble as I burst through the front doors. The shouting was
