last update publish date: 2026-04-25 16:48:02

Anna’s POV

When I raised my hand

It reached back.

Not slowly.

Not cautiously.

Instantly

Like it had been waiting for that moment.

For me.

Contact

The second our hands met

Everything disappeared.

Not faded

Gone.

No room

No sound

No air

Just… white

Endless.

Blinding.

I Stopped Breathing

Or maybe

Breathing didn’t exist here.

“Careful.”

Her voice.

Inside me.

Calm.

But this time

There was something else beneath it.

Tension

“This is where it decides,” she said.

“Decides what?” I whispered.

A pause

  • Divorced By The Billionaire Husband Who wanted Me Back    Chapter 140: When Power Broke Free, Nothing Could Hold Her Anymore

    Sam’s POVEverything went silent.Not the kind of silence that brings peace.The kind that comes before destruction.Anna stood in front of me, her hand still in mine, but I could feel it slipping. Not physically. Something deeper. Like she was being pulled away again, but this time not slowly.This time it was sudden.Violent.Final.“Anna,” I called, tightening my grip.Her fingers twitched in mine.For a second, I thought she was coming back.For a second, I believed we had reached her.Then her body went still.Completely still.And the air changed.It grew heavy, suffocating, like the room itself could no longer contain what was inside her.“Step back,” the woman behind me said sharply.I didn’t move.“I said step back!” she shouted.“No.”My voice came out low.Cold.Unmoving.Because if I stepped back now, I knew I would lose her completely.Anna’s head tilted slowly.Her eyes locked onto mine.And this time, there was no confusion.No struggle.No flicker of the girl I knew.O

    Anna’s POVHe reached for me.And everything inside me reacted.Not the thing controlling me.Not the presence watching through me.Me.For the first time since everything changed…I felt something break through the silence.“Sam…”The name didn’t come out of my mouth.But it echoed inside me.Loud.Desperate.Alive.His hand was so close now.Just a few inches away from mine.And yet—It felt like the distance between worlds.“Don’t,” the voice inside me said.Calm.Firm.Watching.“He will interfere with the process.”Process.That word again.Like I was something being completed.Something being built.Something no longer human.“I…” I tried to speak.But my body didn’t move.Didn’t respond.Because I wasn’t the one in control anymore.“You see?” the voice continued.“You cannot even act on your own will.”That should have scared me.It did.But something else rose stronger.Anger.No.Not just anger.Refusal.I wasn’t gone.I wasn’t a fragment.I wasn’t just something they could u

    Sam’s POV“We have waited long enough.”Those words didn’t belong to Anna.But they came from her lips.Soft.Calm.Final.And somehowThat made it worse than anything we had faced so far.Because before, there had always been struggle.Resistance.A fight.Now…There was none.“Anna,” I said carefully.My voice low.Controlled.Even though everything inside me was anything but.Her eyes stayed on mine.Unmoving.Cold.Not empty.No.Empty would have been easier.This was something else.Something… aware.“You continue to use that name,” she said.Her voice smooth.Unfamiliar.“It no longer defines what stands before you.”My jaw tightened.“She’s still in there.”A pause.Then—A faint tilt of her head.Like she was studying me.Evaluating.“Fragments remain,” she admitted.“But they are no longer in control.”Fragments.That word hit harder than anything else.Because it meant—She wasn’t completely gone.But she wasn’t whole either.“Then I’ll bring her back,” I said.Something shi

    Anna’s POVSomething touched me.Not like before.Not like the others.This wasn’t force.This wasn’t pressure.This was… awareness.Ancient.Quiet.Watching.And the moment it reached meEverything else went still.The voices that had been surrounding me.The ones that whispered.The ones that pulled.The ones that tried to take control.They stopped.Not because they wanted to.Because they had to.“Sam…” I whispered.“I feel it,” he said immediately.His voice was sharper now.Alert.“This isn’t them.”“No…”It wasn’t.This was something else.Something deeper than the darkness we had been fighting.And somehowThat scared me more.“You’ve reached too far.”The voice came softly.Clear.Calm.Nothing like the others.It didn’t echo.It didn’t distort.It spoke like it had always been there.Like it belonged here.And that was the worst part.“Who are you?” I asked.Silence.Then“A witness.”That didn’t make sense.“A witness to what?”“To all of it.”The space around us shifted ag

    Anna’s POVI wasn’t alone anymore.For the first time since this nightmare began…I wasn’t drowning in silence.“Sam…”My voice echoed through the dark space around us.It didn’t feel like a place.It felt like… a void.Endless.Heavy.But nowThere was something else here.Him.“I’m here.”His voice came from behind me.Steady.Grounding.I turned quickly.And there he was.Not physically.Not the way I was used to seeing him.But I knew it was him.The way his presence felt.Warm.Solid.Real.“You shouldn’t have come,” I whispered.“I wasn’t going to leave you here alone.”“You don’t understand…”“I understand enough.”His eyes held mine.Unshaken.“You’re not facing this by yourself anymore.”Something inside me broke at those words.Not fear.Not pain.Something softer.Relief.But it didn’t last.Because the moment I felt it—The space shifted.Darkness pulsed around us.Like something had noticed.“You brought another one.”The voice came from everywhere.Layered.Deep.Wrong.

  • Divorced By The Billionaire Husband Who wanted Me Back    Chapter 135: I Chose Her… Even If It Meant Destroying Everything

    Sam’s POVThere are moments in life where everything slows down.Not because time changes.But because the weight of a decision becomes too heavy to carry all at once.This was one of those moments.Three choices stood in front of me.Let them take her.Kill her.Or… do something no one had even suggested.I looked at Anna.Really looked at her.Not the stillness.Not the unnatural calm.But the small things.The slight tremble in her fingers.The uneven rhythm of her breathing.The way her eyes kept flickering between clarity and emptiness.She was still there.Barely.But she was still there.“She won’t last much longer,” the woman said.Her voice calm.Unmoved.Like this was just another case.Another situation.Another door.“She’s not a case,” I said.“She’s a person.”“She stopped being just a person the moment she opened the threshold.”My jaw tightened.“Then maybe your system is the problem.”A pause.Then—“You’re emotional,” the man said.“Yes.”“And that will get her kille
