"Belle," Bernard's voice sounded low and frantic. Worried, he entered the room. We have to talk.

Belle remained still. She already understood his remarks. The moment Alistair's name crossed her mind again, she had sensed it approaching. Though she had been attempting to ignore it, Bernard's gaze informed her it was genuine. It was going on.

Bernard went on, "Alistair's fixation is not something that disappears. He will not rest till he has his desire.

Her heart hammering in her chest, Belle rose slowly. Her fingers clutched the edge of her desk firmly as she gazed out the window. I had known that for some time. Running is not something I can do always.

Bernard moved closer and his eyes softened. You cannot keep him away. He will not stop, Belle. You have to get ready. He's coming; when he arrives, it will be worse than before.

She tried to hold back the tears by swallowing hard. To create a life outside of Alistair's reach, she had worked really hard to safeguard Theodore. Every

    Alistair's breath caught as a sweet voice twisted through the darkness, just above a whisper. Alistair He fluttered open his eyes, his chest rising and falling irregularly, a chilly sweat dripping off his skin. Though the antiseptic medical room looked far away from the delicate sound, it remained hauntingly present. Stretching a quaking hand forward, he fingered the dense void next to him. Belle? His voice broke, almost inaudible. The stillness was dense and unrelenting in response. Sitting up slowly, the acute stinging of memory—or its absence—cutting deeper than the chill. Where are you? His voice was hoarse and frantic, the solitude gnawing through the stillness. His eyes flitted over the white walls, the monitor flicker, the low mechanical hum. Shadows danced, curling into forms that nearly matched her figure, smooth curves, a touch of laughter, warmth caressing his cheek like a sweet breeze. Reaching out, though, it disappeared, leaving only the name's echo on his lips. Be

    "Bernard," she continued, her voice calm yet cautious. Turning, he smiled charmingly. Belle. It's good you arrived. She crossed her arms. What do you want? "Simple," he said, moving closer, the aroma of costly cologne wafting between them. Forget about this chaos. Begin anew, with me. Belle's eyes narrowed as the burden of treachery and despair danced behind them. "Why now?" Bernard's eyes remained fixed. You merit more than all this disorder. Alistair's universe will consume you entirely. She chuckled, bitter. What about you? Why are you providing refuge to a lady caught in peril and secrets? His shrug was a relaxed sign that belied the underlying storm. "I think second chances are important." Is this about rescuing me? Or saving yourself? Her words sliced through the stillness, sharp as a knife. Bernard moved forward to close the gap. Perhaps a little of both. Still, I'm providing a route out. Thoughts racing, Belle stared beyond him over the metropolis. What if I say no?

    The glow from the screens flickered against Theodore’s sharp features, casting his face in hues of blue and green. His fingers danced rapidly across the keyboard, eyes narrowing as lines of code unraveled before him. “There’s more going on than we thought,” he muttered, his voice tight with urgency.“More than just memory loss?” asked Maya, sitting close, her concern etched in every wrinkle of her brow.Theodore glanced at her, then back at the screen. “Much more.” He clicked, pulling open a hidden folder labeled Project Forget. “This isn’t accidental. It’s deliberate.”Maya’s breath caught. “You mean someone’s been messing with Alistair’s memories?”“That’s exactly what I’m saying.” Theodore’s jaw tightened. “And Lucy’s fingerprints are all over this.”The room grew heavy with the weight of the discovery. Outside, the city’s neon lights hummed, indifferent to the secrets being uncovered in this small apartment.“I knew something felt off,” Maya whispered, reaching to steady Theodore’

    Belle sat rigidly across the breakfast table, the morning light filtering weakly through the slats of the blinds. The air felt heavy with unsaid words. Her eyes locked on Alistair’s, desperate and pleading.“Please, Alistair,” she began, voice trembling but steady. “Don’t push me away. I’m still here.”Alistair’s gaze didn’t soften. Instead, it hardened, distant like the surface of a frozen lake. “I don’t know who you are anymore,” he said quietly, almost to himself.Belle’s heart stuttered, a fragile hope crumbling at the edges. “I’m Belle. The one who’s loved you through every nightmare, every silence. You have to remember.”He shook his head, frustration rippling through his broad shoulders. “It’s all a blur. Faces and feelings slip away before I can catch them.”She reached across the table, fingertips brushing his. “Then let me help you hold on. Let me be the one to anchor you.”Alistair’s jaw clenched. “It’s not that simple. I feel like I’m losing myself. Like the man I was is f

    "We're not just fighting for Alistair's memory," she stated quietly but firmly. We are battling for his heart. For the truth that has been taken. Jaxon, the strategist, folded his arms. Lucy's impact is more profound than we thought. She has taken root in areas we cannot observe. Belle's jaw tightened. Then we excavate her. Then we excavate her. No more shadows. A younger man, tall and energetic, nodded. I have accessed several of her networks. Her hold is getting tighter. Belle urged, advancing, "We have to move fast." Every hour we wait gives her another opportunity to change his narrative. Alistair's name floated in the air, a thin thread binding them together. Belle's eyes softened momentarily at the mention, fingers clenching around a photo of them, smiling, living, entire. You believe he will recall? A voice from the rear muttered. Always wary but faithful, Belle looked towards the questioner, a close friend and valued comrade. Belle shot back vehemently. "Something insid
