Chapter 55Rhea's Pov “So you're saying that it was all a misunderstanding? She wasn't actually the one who pushed you?” A police officer questioned. “No, she wasn't.” I shook my head, “The person who pushed me was a maid that was targeting the both of us. I think she was jealous of your relationship, she fled so we haven't been able to catch her yet but we're working on it. I should have come here since last week, but things happened, I was hospitalized for a few more days.” I explained, smiling politely at them. The officer stared at me, pity in his eyes. What happened at the hospital wasn't hidden so a lot of people heard about it, he was also one of the police officers who had re-arrested Jones.“I understand, and I hope you didn't have too much of a scare. Things like that tend to give people trauma.” He stood from his chair and directed someone else to bring Ginny out of the cell. “Well…” I trailed off. I hadn't been able to sleep peacefully these days without having some so

Chapter 54 Alaric's Pov “Are you still with me?" I whispered in his ear.He couldn’t respond. Not with the gag in his mouth. Not with the agony and pain rattling his bones, hearing his screams would have been more amazing but I could not let them wake Rhea. But he twitched, so I knew he was still conscious."Good. Because we’re not done."Fourteen. Fifteen. Sixteen. Each strike served as a balm to my fury, a physical outlet for the storm brewing in my chest. Rhea’s pale face, her trembling voice, the way she had frozen when Jones held that knife to her throat, all of it played over and over again in my mind like a sickening loop.This man enabled that.I hit him harder.By the twenty-third, he passed out cold."Shit.” Nathan muttered, lifting the man’s head, “He’s gone. Passed out again."I stood there, breath heaving, knuckles coated in blood, his, not mine. Rhea shifted in her sleep behind me, her brow twitching in discomfort. My heart clenched. I didn’t want her to see this side

Chapter 53 Alaric's Pov I stared at Rhea, silently watching her beautiful and calm face but the scenes of Jones threatening her with a knife flashed in my head multiple times. I clenched my fists, anger surging throughout my body. If I had come later, who knew what kind of story we would have been saying now?! She almost got stabbed by a knife again! “Alaric!” Nathan walked into the room, “I was able to transfer the footage and you were right, someone had let him into the hospital.” Nathan murmured. I raised my head and took the phone he handed to me, clicking on the video. Jones had bypassed the security by acting like he was going to visit a family member, however, when he got inside the hospital, he met with another guy who took him to the VIP ward and then left. My eyes darkened, “Where is he?” “He realised his cover had been blown so he made a run for it. But our men have surrounded him, it's only a matter of time before they get here.” I didn't respond. I glanced a

Chapter 52 Rhea's Pov “Can you not go? I'm still a bit scared, I don't want to stay alone.” I said, looking hopefully at him. It felt like someone else could burst through that door at any moment. Great. Now I had a trauma from opening the doors. However, Alaric didn’t answer immediately. The room fell into silence, soft beeping monitors and the low hum of lights were the only sounds. He just stared at me, his expression unreadable. That silence stretched, and for a moment, I wondered if I had overstepped. Maybe he thought I was being childish, clingy and weak.Slowly, I began to remove my hands from his arm, the tips of my fingers trembling as I murmured, “Sorry… I didn’t mean to hold you like that. I just… I’m just being selfish, aren’t I?”But before I could let go completely, his hand caught mine. It was firm and gentle. I gasped, my eyes snapping back to him.“Then be selfish.” Alaric said, voice low and steady, “If you want me to stay, I’ll stay. I'll do anything you want, no

Chapter 51 Rhea's Pov “Rhea!” Alaric stormed in, breath heaving, dark eyes locked on me with a look that could freeze hell. “Let. Her. Go.”His voice was low, cold, each word like a gunshot. Jones jolted behind me, tightening his grip, the blade pressing even harder against my skin. I winced as a thin line of blood trailed down my throat.“You take one more step, and she dies!” Jones barked, dragging me back toward the window, “I swear to God, Vale, I’ll do it!”Alaric’s hands curled into fists at his sides, “Don’t test me.”My knees buckled again under the pressure. I couldn’t hold my own weight, but the moment I heard Alaric's voice, something shifted in me. I wasn't going to become a fucking hostage! My hands, trembling and slick with sweat, suddenly shot up to Jones’s arm. I gripped it with every ounce of strength I had left, then threw my weight sideways, using the only leverage I had, gravity.The movement caught Jones off guard and we both stumbled to the ground. And in th

Chapter 50 Rhea's Pov “How… How are you going to escape this place? Everyone would have seen that you tried to push me out of the window, they won't let you leave.” I muttered, my eyes going towards the lock of the door. I had to get there, somehow. “Simple, I'll just have to take you with me. If I threaten you with this…” He brandished the knife in the air, “They'll let us leave. No medical practitioner would want to put their patient's life in jeopardy.” “Are you missing one thing? I can't walk, for now, I'm paralysed so I'll only drag you down. Just… Just call the police here, the ones who imprisoned you and I'll tell them whatever you want me to, I promise I'll do that. I… I don't want to die, I really don't want to die.” I sniffled, tears running down the corner of my eyes. Jones laughed maniacally, his voice booming in the lonely ward, “Now you don't want to die?! What about me?! You tried to put me in prison, didn't you think about my own life and if I was going to die. Yo

Rhea's POV “H… Help me. Somebody please help me!” My scream tore through the ward like a blade, raw and desperate. “HELP ME!” I cried again, my voice hoarse and trembling. Jones laughed. A low, deranged sound that echoed in the quiet room and turned my blood to ice. “No one’s coming, Rhea.” His tone was mocking now, laced with a twisted kind of pleasure, “This is the VIP wing, remember? No nosy neighbors, no nurses lurking around. You’re all mine right now.” “No, please…” I sobbed, but he cut me off with a sudden jerk, pulling me upright. Pain screamed through my legs. My knees buckled beneath me, and I cried out again, struggling to stay upright. He didn’t care. “Stand up!” He barked, dragging me by the arm. “I can’t! My legs…!” He ignored me and hauled me toward the window with alarming strength. I whimpered, my body was barely able to keep up, my feet dragging against the floor. With one hand, he shoved the window open, cold wind blasting into the room. With the other, he

Rhea's POV “They said her car was forced out of the highway by a truck. They both collided with each other as well, however, the driver must have disappeared in the midst of the chaos. He's nowhere to be found.” Alaric's hands clenched at his sides, and I saw the flicker of something deadly pass through his eyes. Rage. Pure, cold rage. “I’m coming.” He said tightly, his voice clipped as he strode toward the door. But then, right before he crossed the threshold, he turned back to me. His eyes locked on mine, dark and heavy with a thousand unspoken thoughts. “I’ll come back.” He said, “Later tonight, I’ll come check on you.” I blinked at him, stunned he was still thinking of me in a moment like this, “No, Alaric.” My voice came out more urgent than I intended, “Go. Just go now. Don’t waste another second.” He hesitated, clearly torn. “I’ll be fine.” I added, softening my voice, “Just take care of your family. You can come back later. Make sure Elena's fine.” His eyes held mi

Rhea's POV “You're going too far!” Howard yelled. “I'm going too far?! Aren't you the one who is willing to kneel for your adopted daughter?! Why? You can't handle the company over to me? Why is that? Jason already has his inheritance, Damien as well, so why can't you give me the company?” I questioned, but then I remembered, they had also never given me the company in my past life. That time, I had to work and work and work for the company, thinking I was going to inherit it but… “Don't tell me, you're intending to hand the company over to Ginny?!” Howard flinched, like I had slapped him with the truth. “You are, aren't you?” I whispered but my voice was loud enough for them to hear it. I chuckled softly, “I'm your real daughter and you were thinking of handing the company over to an adopted daughter. This is so crazy. But it doesn't matter, that company, give it to me and Ginny will be free. That's the only way out. If you don't, then forget about it.” There was finality in
