“Oh my, I need to make sure I look good there, at least,” Lena said, pacing back and forth in her closet. She held up an outfit in front of her, still on the hanger.

“Hmm, no… this looks overdressed,” she muttered as she tossed it to the floor.

“This one’s too tight.” Another outfit joined the pile.

Then her eyes lit up.

“Perfect. This one’s comfy... and great for the hospital. At least I’ll get a better angle if the media shows up,” she smiled, satisfied, and rushed into the washroom to change.

….………..

He walked into one of the hospital’s private rooms reserved for family. He quietly shut the door behind him.

His shoulders sagged as though the weight of the world was pressing down on him.

With trembling hands, he removed his glasses and set them on the side table.

His eyes, heavy and clouded with thoughts, stared into nothing.

He took slow steps toward the chair in the corner and sank into it, exhaling deeply as his body finally gave in.

He leaned back as he rested his head against th

  • Dangerous Love by a Billion   Chapter 50 : Going after her

    The next dayMr. Green sat slouched against the wall, his head resting to the side as his eyes closed. He had fallen asleep just like that, still in yesterday’s clothes. His arms were folded between his legs, as if trying to hold himself together. The hallway around him was quiet and cold, too.“Mr. Green,” the doctor called gently as he walked toward him.Mr. Green stirred awake, rubbed his eyes and tried sitting up straight. His back ached from sleeping against the hard wall, but he didn’t care. “How is he?” he asked quickly with a rough voice.The doctor sighed and folded his arms. “He made it through the night… barely. His vitals have stabilized a little, but he’s still not responding the way we hoped.”Mr. Green blinked slowly. “Is he… conscious?”The doctor shook his head. “No, not yet. His body’s weak. And his kidneys… we may not have much time before we need to act.”Mr. Green looked down at his hands. “What do we do now?”“We need a donor. Fast,” the doctor said quietly. “We’

    A smile still sat on Lena’s lips as she sipped her drink slowly. Her eyes followed the man walking away, the brown envelope now gone from the table.And then... the flashbacks came rushing in.Flashback: Two Months AgoIt was two months ago, days after Max had mistakenly married Kristen instead of Lena. He stormed out of the mansion as he said to himself, “I will make sure to get everything on her.”Lena, curious and secretly following him, watched as Max met with a man in a quiet corner. She stayed hidden, her eyes narrowing when she saw Max hand something over to the man, clearly instructing him.As soon as Max drove off, Lena didn’t waste a second. She rushed toward the man.“Hey, Mrs. Lena, you’re here…” the man said nervously.“Charles,” she greeted with a smile. “Long time no see.”“I saw Max here. What did he say?” she asked, tilting her head.Charles hesitated, trying to brush her off. But Lena stepped closer with sharp eyes. “I heard everything. He asked you to do something,

    At the hospitalMr. Erik hurried down the hallway, his wife following closely behind. She clutched her purse tightly, her face lined with tension.As they neared the hospital wing, Mr. Valtor stepped forward to meet them.“You shouldn’t have canceled your flight back, Erik,” Valtor said.“Come on, Valtor,” Mr. Erik replied, offering a small nod. “We had everything arranged. It’s only right that we come. Max is family.”Valtor exhaled heavily, clearly uneasy. “I appreciate you both, will forever be grateful” he said, reaching out to shake Erik’s hand.Mrs. Julia stood a short distance behind, trying to keep composed, though her hands trembled slightly by her sides. Her eyes were fixed on the hallway ahead, worry etched deep into her features.Beside her, Mrs. Marissa walked slowly. She glanced at Julia from the side and gently placed a hand on her arm.“He’s strong,” Marissa said quietly, just enough for Julia to hear. “Max will pull through.”Julia didn’t respond right away. She just n

    “The number you’re calling cannot be reached at this moment. Please call back later,” the phone said as the nurse dialed the number.She frowned and tried again.“The number you’re calling is currently switched off.”Letting out a soft sigh, the nurse glanced at the paper again. Then she stood up, looked around the hallway, and scanned the area, hoping to spot the man who had given her the number.Holding the paper tightly, she stepped away from the desk, calling out gently while checking each direction, “Sir? Hello? Are you still here?”But there was no sign of him.….……………………..“So happy you decided to come see your aunt after so long,” a chubby Italian-looking woman said as she placed a cup of tea on the table.Kristen nodded, feeling grateful that the woman had accepted her into her home. She glanced down at her phone, still trying to turn it on.The woman noticed and sat beside her.“Don’t worry, you’ll be able to charge it once the power is back,” she said kindly, settling into h

    The doctor and Mr. Green rushed into the room. Without wasting a second, the doctor moved straight to Max’s side and grabbed his wrist to check for a pulse.“His pulse is dropping,” the doctor muttered, his brows furrowing deeply as he pulled out a stethoscope and leaned over Max’s chest.“Get the crash cart in here, now!” he barked toward the hallway.Mr. Green stood stiffly beside him, eyes fixed on the monitor as the beeping grew more erratic.“Mr. Anderson, stay with us,” the doctor said firmly as he began chest compression. “We’re not losing him today.”Nurses burst in with equipment, and the room turned chaotic....hands were moving quickly, voices rising with urgency as they battled to keep him alive…The room was in chaos.“Clear!” the doctor shouted.A loud zap followed as the defibrillator pads pressed against Max’s chest, his body jolting on the bed. The monitor flatlined again.“Charging......300 joules! Clear!”Another shock.Kristen crouched near the corner just outside Ma

He better not drag our name any lower ”‘‘Julia, Juliaaaa!!!’’….…………………Max dragged himself out of the hospital building, one hand still clutching his side, the other waving weakly at passing cars.His breath was uneven. His body is still weak.But his eyes… they were burning with one thing.A taxi slowed down.Max stumbled forward and pulled the door open.“Where to, sir?” the driver asked, glancing at Max through the mirror.“Just drive… I’ll tell you where,” he muttered as he leaned back into the seat, fighting the dizziness.From behind him“MR. ANDERSON!” Mr. Green rushed out, eyes widening as he saw Max enter the taxi. “Wait!”But it was too late. The taxi took off.Without thinking, Mr. Green ran to his car, started the engine, and drove after them.Max arrived at the hotel....the same

    It was early morning, around 4:30 a.m. The room was quiet, the soft hum of machines was the only sound you could hear.The door opened gently, and Mr. Green stepped in, closing it behind him with a soft click. His eyes looked tired, heavy, as he walked slowly to the side of Max’s hospital bed.Max was asleep, his breathing steady, unaware of his present.Mr. Green stood there for a long moment as he just watched him.He finally spoke with a low and trembling voice. “You grew up right in front of me… stubborn, reckless, but with a good heart.”He paused and swallowed hard.“I failed you. I should’ve known that day… should’ve protected you better.”His eyes welled but he blinked quickly.“I’ve been asked to step away. I won’t be here when you wake up.”He looked at Max one last time.“Stay strong, kid… Don’t let this world eat you up”''I hope to see you in one piece when I return,'' he said and quickly wiped a falling tear.With a slow breath, he bowed down to give his final respect.

    "Mr. Anderson, why are we here at your father's..." the man asked as he got down from the front seat, opening the back door.Some guards rushed over, pulled a wheelchair from the boot and tried to help him sit in it."I..." The man reached out to hold the wheels, ready to assist, but Max gestured for him to stop.He drove the chair himself, wheeling away without a word.The man followed closely behind.Max rolled himself into the house and the door shut behind him. Mrs. Julia turned the corner and froze the moment she saw him.“Max…” she said, stunned. “What on earth… what are you doing here… like this?”Max didn’t answer. He kept rolling forward.She walked up to him, still in shock, her voice rising a bit, “You left the hospital? Without telling anyone? Do you know how serious your condition still is?”He glanced at her but didn’t stop. “I’m fine.”“No, you’re not fine, Max… why would you do this? Does your father even know you’re here?”“He does,” Max said, slightly glancing back at

    “Please… someone save us,” she cried out as the burst of fire surrounded her.With trembling hands, she covered her head and slowly lay flat on the floor, her eyes blinking through tears, fixed helplessly on the flames closing in around her. ...“Miss Jessica,” Paloma called out with a playful laugh, tugging at her hand. “Can we play? Please?”Miss Jessica gave her a gentle smile but shook her head. “It’s bedtime, Paloma. Your mom will kill us if she comes back and finds you still awake.”Paloma pouted, then grinned slyly. “But how will she know… if no one tells her?” She spun around, her eyes wide with mischief. “As soon as we hear her car, I’ll run back to bed and pretend I’ve been sleeping the whole time!”Miss Jessica let out a small laugh, shaking her head. “You’re impossible.”“Oh, my.....always getting me with this look,” Miss Jessica said with a soft sigh, unable to hide her smile. “Okay, okay... we can play. But only for a few minutes, alright?”“Yay!” Paloma beamed.Jessica

    Mr. Creed paced back and forth, the neurologist's words looped through his mind."Not literally. But placing her in an environment that mimics the original setting... even the scent of smoke, certain visuals, sounds... it might help trigger something. However, I must be clear: this is not guaranteed. There's only about a 70% chance she'll recover even partial memory......and it's emotionally risky."He clenched his jaw, lost in thought.“Mr. Creed, you called for me?” Tyrese’s voice broke the silence as he stepped into the room.Mr. Creed stopped abruptly, turned slowly and locked eyes with Tyrese. He studied him in silence for a moment.“History is about to repeat itself,” he muttered under his breath.Tyrese frowned, confused yet aware of the significance of what was about to unfold.Mr. Creed turned away again, staring into nothing.“There’s going to be another FIRE,” he said quietly, but with a chilling certainty in his voice.“Another fire,” he repeated, steadying himself with a

    Kristen walked briskly through the office hallway, a file clutched tightly in her hands. She was headed toward the conference room when the sound of shoes approaching caught her attention.Mr. Creed had just walked in, a security guard following a few paces behind. His usual sharp stride slowed the moment his eyes landed on her.Kristen paused, unsure why he was staring.“Good morning, sir,” she greeted politely, offering a small smile.But Mr. Creed didn’t answer right away. His gaze lingered, heavy and distant, as though he were staring through her.“My sweet Amara…” he muttered under his breath, the name spilling out before he could stop it.Kristen blinked, confused.“Sir?” she asked gently.Before either of them could react further, Mr. Mondragon got closed and without warning...wrapped Kristen in a hug from the side with caught her off guard.“Hello!

    "Sir... we were so sure about it. We saw her leaving the house," one of the men stammered, his voice shaky with fear.Mr. Creed slowly turned to face them. His eyes, dark with rage, locked onto the man like a predator. The way he stared made the room feel colder...like all the warmth had been sucked out."You saw her leave?" he repeated, his voice low and deadly. His gaze blazed with fury, his chest rising and falling heavily. Then, without warning, he grabbed the man by the shoulder."You said you saw her?" he barked, his voice shaking with suppressed wrath. His hand trembled with anger.The man flinched, trying to keep his voice steady. "Y...yes, sir... I did," he choked out, his neck reddening under Creed’s grip.He was about to speak again when Creed suddenly shoved him to the ground.Without hesitation, Creed snatched the gun from Tyresse’s side and, in one swift move, fired at the two men.Bang.

    “Congratulations to you too, Creed,” Sebastian said with a calm smile as he extended his hand. “You fought a good game.”Creed gripped his hand firmly, eyes steady. “Haha… There won’t be a next time for you to win anything,” he replied with a sarcastic edge.Sebastian’s smile faltered just a bit. “Excuse me? I didn’t quite catch the joke...I'm a bit slow sometimes”“Oh,” Creed said with a cold chuckle. “Maybe because it was a thin one. Never mind.”He gave a slight bow. “I wish you all the best.”“Mr. Sebastian, please....the President wants to see you,” a guard said as he approached quickly.Sebastian gave a short nod, then turned to Creed.“I’ll take my leave now, Mr. Creed. See you again sometime,” he said, then walked away without waiting for a reply.Creed’s eyes followed him, a cold storm brewing behind them.“There won’t be any next time,” he muttered under his breath. “I’ll take back my Amara… and everything I deserve from you. If I can’t have peace, neither will you”As he wa

Every face he asked shook their heads.Amara... his sweet Amara... was nowhere to be found.With no leads left, he returned to the US, where his life was slowly rebuilding.

    Tyrese cleared his throat as he steadied himself."Yes, Mr. Creed. Based on what we found... there's about a 70% chance that Kristen is the late Sebastian William Da Silvia’s daughter," he said carefully. "The very one you've been searching for all your life."Mr. Creed froze, the words slamming into him like a freight train."Bomboclaat... Blood clot..." he muttered under his breath, his voice thick with shock. He sank heavily into his chair, the glass of whiskey nearly slipping from his hand.Tyrese watched him cautiously before adding, "Paloma Da Silvia... That would be her full name if the connection is true."The room fell into a heavy, eerie silence.Mr. Creed leaned forward, rubbing his hands over his face, breathing hard."So that’s my sweet Amara’s daughter..." he whispered, his eyes widening, almost filling with tears."How did I not see this..." he muttered, shaking his head slowly.

"Thank you! I just want to make sure I keep up with everything... you know, stay fit, stay ready for any event. Being an influencer and all."

When she opened the door, her eyes immediately caught the figure of a well-dressed man standing there, smiling a little too warmly.Mom Maria frowned slightly, looking at him from the corner of her eyes.....something about the way he smiled made her feel uneasy."Do I know you, sir?" she muttered, her voice unsure as she studied his face.The man chuckled softly, clearing his throat as if trying to ease her suspicion. "Oh... not exactly, ma'am," he said. "I'm Kristen's boss, Donavan Creed."Mom Maria’s face shifted instantly. She tapped her forehead, embarrassed. "Oh, what a shame on me," she muttered.
