Daelan

My heart hammered violently against my ribs while sweat gathered beneath my collar, and although I kept telling myself to calm down, my thoughts refused to cooperate because every time I looked toward the bed, my stomach twisted harder.

The room looked like a nightmare dragged straight out of hell, and while the metallic scent hanging in the air made my skin crawl, the sight of Elysia lying there motionless made something cold settle deep inside my chest.

"What the actual fuck..."

    DaelanThe broken glass still glittered across the café floor, while frightened customers continued staring at me as though I had suddenly grown horns, yet I barely noticed any of them because my mind had already begun connecting the pieces together.This bullshit all happened after Callista entered Luca Moretti's life.My fingers curled around the edge of the table, while a slow realization settled inside my chest, because perhaps this entire thing was Luca's doing and perhaps the bastard was simply trying to impress Callista by destroying me piece by piece.That fucking psycho.Who else had enough power?Who else could make documents disappear, move properties, silence people, and terrify businessmen?Luca Moretti.The city treated him like some dark king, while powerful men lowered their voices whenever his name entered a conversation, and although I had never taken those rumors seriously, I suddenly found myself wondering whether the stories had been true all along.I paid for not

    DaelanThe steering wheel trembled beneath my hands, although deep down I knew the car wasn't responsible for the vibration because my fingers had refused to stop shaking ever since I walked back into that bedroom and found absolutely nothing.Not even the metallic smell that had practically coated the walls earlier.The entire fucking room looked as though somebody had walked inside my house and erased reality itself, and although I repeatedly told myself there had to be some reasonable explanation, my thoughts continued returning to the same terrifying conclusion.Someone had entered my house, someone had cleaned every trace of what happened, and somehow that person knew exactly what they were doing.Rain struck the windshield while the highway stretched endlessly beneath the dark sky, and every pair of headlights appearing behind me caused my pulse to jump because I could not stop checking the rearview mirror.Was someone following me?Was somebody watching me?I cursed beneath my

    LucaThe ride home felt longer than it should have, although the city itself remained exactly the same, because Callista sat beside me looking pale and exhausted while the medication inside her body continued fighting against her.She had stopped trembling.She had stopped crying and somehow that frightened me more.A broken woman screamed. A broken woman fought. But Callista had gone quiet, and silence often carried wounds that words could never reach.Palmere opened the front doors the moment we arrived, and although she could not see us, she immediately sensed that something terrible had happened."What happened?" she asked softly."Nothing you need to worry about."She nodded, though her face tightened. "I prepared the rooms."I carried Callista upstairs because she was still dizzy, and although she quietly protested that she could walk, her legs betrayed her twice before we even reached the staircase."Stop fighting me.""I'm heavy."I looked down at her. "No."Her eyes softened.

    CallistaThe voice echoed through the entire clinic, and although I could barely keep my eyes open because of whatever poison Doctor Harrison had injected into my body, my heart still recognized him immediately because nobody else carried that kind of authority inside their voice."Callista."The entire room froze.Doctor Harrison stood beside the closet while all the confidence he had shown earlier slowly disappeared from his face, and for the first time since I entered his office, I saw genuine fear inside his eyes because Luca Moretti had arrived.Even Elysia stopped speaking.The building became painfully quiet, and the heavy footsteps coming from outside sounded like death itself was climbing the stairs.My body remained weak while my head continued spinning, yet somehow my heart slowly calmed down because Luca had come for me.The office door suddenly burst open with such force that the walls shook, and before Doctor Harrison could even speak, Luca's fist collided with his face

    CallistaThe syringe glimmered beneath the white office lights, and although Doctor Harrison held it with the same calmness he once used while prescribing my medication, the look inside his eyes had changed so completely that my entire body began trembling against the wall.My breathing turned uneven while my fingers tightened around my phone. And although I desperately wanted to believe that he was simply trying to frighten me, the cruel smile stretching across his face told me that the man standing before me was no longer my doctor."What are you doing?" I asked, while my voice shook despite my attempts to remain calm.Doctor Harrison tilted his head slightly, and his eyes slowly traveled across my face as though he was studying an experiment."You always asked too many questions, Callista, and honestly, you should have stayed blind and grateful."The words struck me so hard that my legs nearly gave out beneath me, because although I had suspected something was wrong for months, hea

    CallistaI leaned both hands against the doctor's desk because my knees suddenly felt weak, and although I had entered the office intending to demand answers, the sight of Elysia sitting there had completely destroyed my ability to think properly.Doctor Harrison adjusted his coat while his eyes moved nervously between me and Elysia, and although he tried to hide it, I noticed the tension settling across his face."Elysia," he said quietly, "would you excuse us for a moment?"The room became strangely silent.Elysia immediately stood from his lap, and although she usually carried herself like a queen entering a ballroom, she now looked like a criminal caught beneath bright lights.She lowered her head. She avoided my eyes.She reached for her face mask so quickly that her fingers trembled. The movement alone sent chills through me.Because this wasn't the Elysia I knew. The real Elysia would have smiled, she would have insulted me.She would have mocked me. She would have walked towar

    CallistaThe industrial machine groaned like a monster straight out of hell.Metal screamed against metal as the massive crusher rolled closer to the car, each turn of its gears vibrating through the concrete floor beneath me. The entire warehouse shook with the sound, dust raining from the ceiling

    CallistaAfter sniffing the flowers, I noticed a folded letter buried between the ridiculous amount of roses “I’d take you on a date, Miss.”That was it? It has no name, no question mark, no fucking manners.I stared at the note for a long second before laughing bitterly. “Psycho,” I muttered under

    Callista I stood in front of the mirror wrapped in nothing but a towel while Luca sat behind me watching quietly, and somehow that silence carried more tension than screaming ever could. Every movement I made felt hyperaware beneath his gaze. I could practically feel his eyes tracing over my shou

    CallistaLuca stared at me like a man already imagining ownership. The kind that wrapped chains around your throat so slowly you didn’t notice until breathing became impossible.The silence between us stretched painfully while his fingers continued moving through my damp hair with unsettling calmnes
