MAX****

Her fingers twitched in mine. Just barely, but enough to make my chest tighten. Hope rose fast—too fast—only to collide with the fear that whatever she woke up to wouldn’t be me.

“Sara?”

Her eyelids fluttered, unfocused at first, then tracking the ceiling like it might give her answers. She blinked at me—slow, hesitant—like she was trying to place a song she half-remembered.

It had been like this for hours, and even the doctors couldn’t explain her confusion. It was as if she was trapped in a haze, unable to fully recognize her surroundings or the people around her.

“You’re—” She hesitated, her voice trailing off as she struggled to form words. Staring at my face with a mix of recognition and uncertainty, she finally managed to whisper. “I know you… don’t I?”

The words cut deeper than any accusation Sam had thrown at me.

“It’s me,” I said softly. “Max. Your Max.”

Her brow furrowed, and she looked past me, scanning the room as if she expected someone else to be here. “Where… is

  • Fighting For Her Heart: The Billionaire's Obsession   36 Faking it all

    SARAThe voices were sharp before I even opened my eyes.Not words at first—just jagged edges cutting through the cotton in my head.I’d been drifting in a warm, dark tide, the kind where you can almost pretend the pain isn’t there. Where time doesn’t exist. Where the world outside your skin can’t reach you.But the noise dragged me up, whether I wanted it or not.Flashes bled through my eyelids—ghost-light, quick and brutal—that made the ache behind my forehead pulse harder. The rhythm of it wasn’t right. Not steady like a heartbeat, not random like weather. Purposeful. Hunting.I turned my head, slowly, like my skull might crack if I moved too fast. The pillow shifted beneath me, scratchy with hospital starch. The faint smell of antiseptic clung to the air, sharp and sour under the sterile chill. The window was a strobe light—bursts, shadows, silhouettes pressed too close to the glass.And then I saw them.Max and Sam—two storms colliding just outside my door.Max’s shoulders were t

    MAX****“Sara’s fine.” That’s what I kept telling myself, over and over, like a prayer. But one look at her pale face on the hospital bed, and I knew I was lying.The sound of her head hitting the edge of the table still echoed in my skull. One moment of anger, of careless shoving, and suddenly there was blood—so much blood. I kept thinking, if Sam and I hadn’t been acting like idiots… If Sam and I weren't roughhousing in the kitchen, maybe she wouldn't have tripped over us and hit her head on the tabletop. The guilt pressed on my chest like a weight I couldn't throw off. I just needed her to wake up.But I am grateful that I hadn’t lost her. Not yet.Sara looked impossibly small in the bed. Tubes, wires, the pale cast of her skin—all of it made her look like someone else. Not the firestorm I remembered. Not the woman who could walk into a room and command it without saying a word. Even when she doubted herself, I never did. She had this way of filling space without even trying.I had

  • Fighting For Her Heart: The Billionaire's Obsession   33 Losing What Was Never Mine

    SAM***The air in the hospital was suffocating—sterile and thick with the scent of antiseptic. But that wasn’t what had my chest tight. It wasn’t the flashing cameras or the endless questions from reporters. It wasn’t even the weight of all the eyes on me, as if the whole world were waiting for something to happen.No, it was her. Sara.I told myself she wasn't mine anymore. But the truth? She never had been, not in the way I had hoped.We’d spent so much time together, been through so much that, in my heart, I knew I was the one who should’ve been there when she fell. But instead, it was Max. Always, Max.I leaned against the cold wall outside her room, watching as he held her hand. The very sight of him made my blood boil. He didn’t understand her like I did. He didn’t know her pain. The depths of her fears, the way she needed someone to listen, to understand. That was me.I had confessed my love for Sara once, long ago. I’d even asked her to be my girlfriend; she said yes. Not beca

  • Fighting For Her Heart: The Billionaire's Obsession   32 The Weight of Accusations

    Max****The sterile scent of the hospital hit me, suffocating and sharp. The harsh fluorescent lights felt like a slap to my face. None of it mattered. What mattered was that Sara was still alive. It felt suffocating, the fluorescent lights too harsh, the buzz of activity too loud. But none of that mattered. What mattered was that Sara was still alive.I squeezed her hand gently, my knuckles white from the grip. Her breathing was shallow, the bloodstains still staining the fabric of her dress, and every moment felt like it could be the last. I couldn’t bear it. Not now. Not after everything.But it wasn’t just her life on the line.As we pushed through the emergency doors, I could already hear the paparazzi outside, their cameras flashing like a storm. They were always there, always watching, but today—today they were relentless.

    Max***The seconds stretched into eternity as I knelt beside Sara, my hands shaking as they cupped her face. Blood seeped through my fingers, warm and thick. The sharp, metallic scent filled my nose, making my stomach twist with panic."Sara," I whispered hoarsely, my voice breaking. "Please, stay with me."Her eyelids fluttered, and for a moment, I thought she might open her eyes. But then she let out a soft, pained whimper, and I felt her body sag beneath my touch, as if the weight of everything was too much for her to bear."Shit," Sam muttered from behind me, his voice low and laced with something that almost sounded like regret. But it was too little, too late. His eyes darted between Sara’s limp form and me, guilt flashing momentarily across his face before it was quickly buried under layers of fury.I didn’t spare him a glance. I couldn’t. Not now."Sara," I breathed again, my heart
