Scarlett's mind raced with desperate prayers… praying for Michael to come back, for someone, anyone, to walk through that door and end this nightmare.

She'd take a janitor, a nurse, hell, even hospital security at this point. Anyone who could save her from this monster's grip.

Dane pinned both her wrists above her head with one hand like she weighed nothing, while his other hand clamped down on her chin with bruising force.

His fingers dug into her skin as he yanked her face up, forcing her to look directly into his cold, pitiless eyes.

Whatever sick obsession he had with her had gotten worse, more twisted and more dangerous.

The way he looked at her now was different from before, hungrier somehow, like he'd been starving for this moment.

"Look at me!" Dane's voice was a low, dangerous growl. "What's the point of getting all stitched back up if you're still going to be thinking about me every second?"

His grip tightened on her chin, forcing her to meet his eyes. "You think some fancy

    ~A while later~Scarlett's eyes fluttered open to memories of harsh light that stabbed through her consciousness. The brightness overwhelmed her disoriented senses, making her squeeze her eyes shut again with a soft whimper.Gradually, as the anesthesia fog began to lift, her vision adjusted and she realized she was no longer in the operating room.The recovery room was smaller, quieter, with monitoring equipment beeping softly nearby.Her throat felt raw and dry and a dull, throbbing numbness pulsed through her lower body. However, beneath the physical discomfort, she felt something she hadn't experienced in months; a sense of being whole again.The procedure was over. She had taken back some small piece of herself.Exhaustion clung to her as she slowly took in her surroundings.The room was dimly lit now, peaceful and quiet. Too quiet that something felt wrong, even though she couldn't quite place what it was through the medication haze.Where was Michael? Where was the nurse paid t

    ~The next morning~Scarlett sat on the balcony swing after a sleepless night, the morning sun casting a golden glow on her messy hair.The sky stretched wide and bright blue above her, so different from the dark clouds weighing down her heart.Under normal circumstances, this might have been a peaceful scene.A gentle knock at the door caught Scarlett's attention.Michael walked in, looking at his sister with curiosity before his eyebrows raised in mild concern."Did you get any sleep last night?" Michael asked gently as he approached the porch swing.Scarlett turned her haunted eyes heavy with disappointment toward him. "Don't worry about me, Michael. I'm managing," she said softly.Michael sat down beside her on the swing, sharing the weight of their troubles as they swayed slowly back and forth."I took care of everything yesterday. There's a skilled female doctor who agreed to do the procedure this morning at nine. She's completely discreet—no one will know. Once it's done and we'r

    Scarlett froze, completely speechless.Her carefully built lies had just crumbled, leaving her exposed and vulnerable.Fear shot through her like ice water as her mind spun wildly.How had he seen through everything?Of course he could! He wasn't just part of her life, he was at the center of it. Their connection ran too deep for pretense.Scarlett felt lost in the web of deceptions she'd woven. He could see straight through to the source of every lie, leaving her nowhere to hide and no idea what to do.Her thoughts raced, calculating every possible move.Should she stay quiet? Should she act shocked and deny everything, even though it wouldn't work? Or should she come clean and confess the shame eating away at her?"Maybe... my heart just recognizes yours somehow," she finally whispered, looking confused. "And that's why you don't feel like a stranger to me."Lincoln didn't answer with words. He knew talking wouldn't work on her logical, stubborn mind. Years of being a doctor had tra

    The mansion buzzed with activity as Scarlett reunited with her mother, brother, and Lincoln.It’d been announced she was alive, and their home welcomed the flood of visitors celebrating her safety."Look at them all," Scarlett murmured, watching the crowd through the window. "These are the same people who called me terrible names at my funeral."Yesterday she was a prostitute. Today she’s the respected doctor and governor's daughter.Scarlett shook her head. "How fickle they are."As evening approached, Lincoln appeared at her door and his eyes held a determination she recognized: he wouldn't leave her side tonight."May I come in?" he asked softly."Of course." She stepped aside, her heart racing as he entered her luxurious suite."I'm so sorry, my love," he whispered as he closed the door behind them. "I can't imagine what you endured while I was gone.""Lincoln, you don't need to—"Scarlett trailed off when he firmly wrapped his arms around her from behind, as if she might vanish a

    ~Earlier~The yellow light from the desk lamp cast long shadows across the room, dancing over Dane's features as his fingers traced the edges of a photograph.There she was—Scarlet—though she'd done everything possible to erase herself. Short, choppy black hair had replaced her flowing blond locks. Dark contact lenses masked the emerald eyes he'd once worshipped.Every change screamed defiance, each alteration a calculated strike targeting what she'd been.The set the photograph on the wooden table, lean back in his chair and closed his eyes and breathed in.Even in this modest house she'd shared with that family, her presence lingered—faint but unmistakable.He'd walked through each room earlier, drinking in every detail that might lead him closer to her."Clever girl." The words came out rough. "But not clever enough."The wardrobe had betrayed her first. Different from her usual style, yes, but the sizes, the cuts, the way they hung... everything screams her name."Playing house wit
