View MoreBy the end of the day, I was completely exhausted—but it was all worth it. Lying in Eric’s arms, I found comfort in his warmth and steady heartbeat. As I lay there, I couldn’t help but reflect on how far I had come. From believing I had lost both my mum and dad… to losing Micheal, to ending up in Elmdare, where my life truly became a living hell.But then, it crossed my mind that when I left that place, I didn’t just walk away from the pain—I walked away from a life I had built, and with it, certain responsibilities that still weighed heavily on my heart.“Eric?” I called out softly, turning to face him. His eyes opened slowly, locking onto mine with gentle concern.“Why are you still awake?” he asked, brushing his fingers lightly across my cheek.“Can I hire you as my lawyer?” I asked, watching his expression twist slightly in confusion.“I want to go back to Elmdare and reclaim my foster father's farm. There’s someone I need to write the will for... someone who deserves it. And I wa
I looked at the woman in front of me, then at Tythorax."I'm sorry, Eric. It really wasn't in my power, and I was going to introduce you to her, but I couldn't find her. I was surprised to see her here in Drakemere," I heard Tythorax say, but my attention was fixed on the woman now standing in front of me. Her gaze never left mine, tears clinging to her cheeks.The way she looked at me—with that deep, aching motherly love—made my chest tighten. It had been so long since anyone looked at me like that. Her hands went over her mouth as she gasped."You grew up so well. I’m so glad you had all the love you needed," she whispered, her voice trembling. I couldn't find my own voice to say a word.When she reached out hesitantly, then gently rested her hands on my cheeks, it almost felt like my mum had come back to life."I'm so sorry I was never there for you. I'm sorry I didn't recognize you—there's no excuse. I wanted to check on you after I left you on that doorstep, but I was scared... s
“Sir, you have one Mr. Tythorax looking for you,” the receptionist from the hotel I booked since arriving in Elmdare informed me as soon as our line connected. Tythorax? What on earth is he doing here, and how did he find me? A deep sigh escaped my lips as I unconsciously rubbed the bridge of my nose, right between my eyes.“Sir? Are you still there?” the receptionist’s voice came again, reminding me that the line was still on.“Have him wait for me in the lounge. I’ll join him shortly,” I replied before ending the call. I made my way to the wardrobe, threw on some clothes, and headed downstairs.When I reached the lounge, Tythorax was seated comfortably, sipping from his drink. I stood silently, watching him for a while before he finally caught my gaze. I walked toward him and took a seat across from him.“So this is where you’ve been hiding for the past week,” he said casually, but that wasn’t what I wanted to hear.“What are you doing here? And how the hell did you know where to fi
Lily’s POVI stared at her face as she struggled to free herself from my grip. But I couldn’t understand anything—everything around me was a blur of blue. I couldn’t even see the face of the person I held so tightly, but her name... her voice—it sounded so familiar.“Jess?” I called out, trying to recall where and how I knew that name. But instead of clarity, a blinding pain shot through my head like lightning. I let her go as my body crumbled, the strength in me slipping away like sand through fingers.I collapsed. The cold ground met me with a jolt of agony that rippled through every nerve in my body. My limbs were numb, my chest felt hollow. Then a shrill, piercing noise exploded in my head—like an alarm that wouldn’t stop. Through the haze, I saw a figure running toward me, and for a fleeting second, her face became clear.It was Jess.Her face was etched with devastation, fear dancing in her eyes as she rushed to me. I wanted to say something—anything—but I couldn’t move, couldn’
