Rhea's Pov

“Are you serious?!” I spluttered, my eyes wide.

“Why not?” He shrugged, casually slipping his hand back around my waist and continuing to lead me down the hall as if he hadn’t just dropped a bomb in my lap, “We’re already living together. You sleep in my bed most nights. I know all your habits, except the ones you’re hiding from me, and you clearly like me.”

“I am not…!”

“Rhea.” He cut in, tilting his head to look at me with a lazy, satisfied smirk, “You literally just asked me to kiss you. What else do you need me to do? Put a ring on your finger before you admit it?”

I opened my mouth, then promptly shut it, too flustered to argue. It was true that my heart had leapt into my throat at the mention of a wedding, but whether it was from fear or excitement, I couldn’t quite tell.

Alaric leaned closer again, his breath brushing against my cheek, “No rush.” He murmured, “But I’m serious. I’ve wasted enough time watching from the sidelines while you struggled. I won’t do it an

    Rhea's Pov “This isn't good.” I mumbled, my heart racing slightly, “What about her parents? Do you think they know where she is?” “I don't know, but it's possible they also have no idea of Miss Ava's whereabouts. The last time I saw them, Miss Ava's mother was trying to act normally but I could see that she was unsettled. I decided to take matters into my own hands so I met up with Miss Ava's mother and her condition has deteriorated.” “Deteriorated? What do you mean by that?” “Paranoid. She was being paranoid, yelling about how she was being watched and how she's unsafe. Begging me to help her escape or she'll die, she was saying different kinds of things. I didn't understand but the more I thought about it, I realised that maybe they were being targeted by someone. It could be that Victor Grant was using them against Ava. I'm not really sure where to put all of my theories but I know that Victor Grant is in the middle of everything that's happening now.” Her words san

    Rhea's Pov “Really?!” I echoed, flabbergasted. My heart was thumping now for a different reason, one I couldn’t quite name. Was it excitement? Suspicion? Dread for what I knew was to come?Fiona let out a tired sigh, “Yes. But it’s… complicated.”“What sort of revenge are we talking about here?” I asked, narrowing my eyes even though she couldn’t see me, “Are we talking legal action, corporate sabotage, or some blood feud where I’m supposed to show up in a red dress with a dagger?”There was a beat of silence, and then Fiona chuckled, but there was no humor in it, “Honestly, I wish it were that straightforward. But it’s better if you hear it from them directly. It's a family issue, and from what I gathered... it runs deep. Like, years of betrayal and buried secrets deep.”I exhaled slowly, leaning back into the pillows. My headache throbbed in time with my rising anxiety, “Family issues always are.” I muttered, mostly to myself.“Exactly ” Fiona confirmed, “They don’t trust easily. T

    Rhea's Pov “Rhea… Rhea no! Come back here! I'm finally back to you, you can't leave me alone here!” I heard his cries as Alaric led me out of the hospital room. “Let's take care of her discharge now, everything else will be done at home. I can't allow her to stay at this hospital any longer.” Alaric said to the doctor who nodded frantically. “This was our mistake, we’ll make sure that it won't happen again.” Alaric’s grip on my waist was gentle, but firm. I let him guide me through the hallway, the doctor rushing ahead to prepare the discharge papers. Kevin’s pitiful cries still echoed behind us, even as the door shut and his voice became a faint murmur in the distance. But I wasn't relieved yet, there was some unease that tugged at the back of my mind. I turned to Alaric, eyeing the man who had followed us from the room, the same one who’d stood quietly at the door while Kevin sobbed and begged. Alaric had said something to him right before the man nodded and walked back.I slowe

    Rhea's Pov Kevin's gaze brightened up. I squashed the hope he felt back down without mercy. “But not anymore.” I said, my voice cold. Throughout the time Kevin was unconscious and being tied up, I had regained a lot of memories regarding him, and apart from the confusing memories about an older me, it was relatively complete. At least I didn't think I was missing a lot of gaps. I could see that Kevin and I had nothing to do with each other, not since I told him after I was thrown into the pool that I wasn't interested in him any longer. “Why the hell are you deluding yourself into believing that I love you? After everything you did to me, were you still expecting me to run into your arms the moment you tell me that you realise your mistake? You only want to come back to me because of the position that you are in now! After I fell unconscious, you must have garnered a lot of debts, didn't you? You lost a lot of money after that stock market crashed, you also lost the house tha

    Rhea's Pov A few minutes later, Kevin woke up, his groan filled the room as his eyes fluttered open, glancing around. It was probably to figure out where he was. Then he shot up instantly and his eyes met mine. “Rhea!” He looked like he had finally seen his saviour the moment his eyes met mine, “You're here! I know that you wouldn't…” He trailed off as Alaric stepped right in front of me, blocking me from their view. Kevin's expression changed drastically; he glared at Kevin, his eyes quickly turning bloodshot. “What are you doing here? Get away from her!” Kevin yelled, struggling to get up from the bed fully, but he couldn't. Why? Alaric had him chained to the bed. Talk about over the top. “Rhea is my wife, why wouldn't I be here?” Alaric said loudly, his tone showing that he was trying to agitate Kevin more and it worked by the way. Kevin grew angrier when Alaric mentioned the word ‘wife’. He started spewing insults at Alaric. “You bastard! Rhea doesn't like you! She
