The doctor slowly approached her afterward. “I understand your concern, but without proper examinations, we cannot fully identify what triggered this condition.”

He crouched slightly beside her afterward. “I’m your son’s class teacher,” he said gently. “He performed very well academically, and I wanted to speak with you personally.”

Her expression immediately softened.

“Really?” she asked quietly.

The doctor nodded carefully. “He takes after his mother a lot.”

A small smile appeared briefly acr

    Jeffery sat in the back of the car with Sophia leaning on his shoulder. He kept his head low for a moment then spoke in a tired voice that carried through the small space.“I have to stop by somewhere important.”Sophia lifted her head slowly and looked at him with concern written across her face. “But we were just returning from the funeral,” she said. Her fingers stayed on his arm like she did not want to let go just yet. The black dress she wore still carried the smell of the cathedral incense.“I understand your concern Soph,” Jeffery replied softly. “I won’t stay long.” He told Logan to pull over at the next junction. The car stopped smoothly beside the sidewalk. Sophia stepped out and stood there watching the car drive away until it disappeared around the bend. She pulled out her phone and called her friend Emma to come pick her up. A small smile touched her lips once the car was completely gone from sight. She crossed her arms and waited under the street light.Back inside

    MALCOLM'S MANSIONMalcolm sat in his mansion with a glass of whiskey in his hand. The television played low in the background while the city lights blinked outside the large window. For two days now every station kept replaying the news about Clara Rothwell's death. He listened for a moment then reached for the remote and switched the TV off with a tired motion. Her death did not freak him. It only felt distant like something that happened to other people in other worlds. He took another slow sip and stared at the dark screen.Suddenly the door burst open. One of the guards rushed in breathing hard and greeted him quickly. "Sir, they are just announcing it now that Daniel is dead. He was found dead in his apartment. They say his body was almost rotten when they discovered it."Malcolm froze. The glass slipped from his fingers and landed on the floor with a loud clink. Daniel. His most trusted man. The one who drove better than anyone, spied without getting caught, gave him informa

    ADRIAN'S APARTMENTAdrian stepped into the quiet sitting room with a towel still wrapped around his head. Water drops fell slowly from the ends onto his shoulders but he did not bother fixing it. His eyes locked straight on Cole, the man who usually run things for him discreetly. Cole sat waiting with a thick folder on his knee like it held the final piece of a dangerous puzzle.He dropped into the chair across from Cole and pulled the towel down around his neck. The room felt charged with heavy silence. "Tell me what you found," Adrian said in a low voice that demanded every detail.Cole opened the folder carefully. He placed the first sheet on the table between them and spoke in a steady tone. "The test is clear sir. Jeffery Rothwell does not match George Rothwell. The man we know as Jeffery has no biological link to George at all. No shared pattern. Nothing."Adrian picked up the paper and scanned it line by line. His fingers tightened around the edges until the paper almost wrink

    Jeffery stood in the doorway for a long moment. His cold eyes locked onto the nurse standing too close to Clara's bed. The file in her hands shook just a little as she turned to face him under the harsh hospital lights.He stepped inside slowly and closed the door behind him with a quiet click. The room felt smaller right away with his presence filling every corner and pressing down on the air. The machines kept beeping steadily but the atmosphere grew thick and heavy between the three of them like something bad was about to break."What are you doing near her?" Jeffery asked again in that deep cold voice. He moved closer to the bed with slow steps that made the nurse press her back against the side rail. She held the file tighter against her chest like it could somehow protect her from what might come next in this tense space."I came to check her charts and vital signs," the nurse said quickly. Her voice stayed steady on the outside but her fingers gripped the papers harder than

    He picked up the chart and started writing with unsteady hands, noting every intervention and vital sign.Outside the hospital, the press had not left. They had been waiting since the car first arrived hours ago, and they were still there - cameras ready, microphones out, restless and hungry. The footage from the amusement park played on every screen and every phone: Clara on the stage in the peach dress making her pregnancy announcement, the crowd cheering, then the sudden shots and chaos. Jeffery dropping to one knee. Logan's car speeding away."Mrs. Clara Rothwell shot at anniversary celebration following pregnancy announcement. Condition still unknown. No statement from the Rothwell family."The city that had been celebrating that evening had turned into something else. People talked in groups. They watched the videos again and again. They felt helpless, the way people do when something big happens to someone they feel like they know.The Rothwell camp had said nothing yet.They

    Clara had been moved from the operating room to a private bed on the same floor. The machines came with her beeping steadily, breathing for her, watching every small sign of life. The small team that had stood through all seven hours of surgery now stood quietly around the edges of the room, tired and silent.The doctor stood at the foot of the bed, his shoulders heavy. Jeffery stood near the door, hands inside his pockets, watching everything with that same calm face he had worn since they arrived."The injection, sir," the doctor said. His voice was low and careful. "We are in a position where both options carry serious consequences, and I need you to understand that before we decide anything."He looked directly at Jeffery."If we give it to her now, it will wipe her memory the way you want. But her body has just been through seven hours of surgery. Her brain is under more stress than it has ever been in her life. Giving her the agent right now means the chances of her surviving i

    It had been three days since Clara was chained to the bed.Three long days without any food. Three days of darkness, silence, and unbearable weakness slowly eating through her body little by little until even lifting her fingers started feeling difficult. The room no longer smelled fresh anymore.

    The mansion remained silent long after midnight, yet the silence itself felt heavier . Smoke lingered thickly across Jeffery’s study while several empty alcohol bottles rested carelessly across the table beside him.The dim light above barely touched his face properly, but even within the shadows,

    “Who sent you.”Clara’s body trembled violently as tears rolled endlessly down her face. Her chest rose unevenly while she struggled to breathe properly under the pressure of his grip around her throat. “Je…ffe…ry…” she choked weakly, her voice cracking badly. “I’m dying…”Jeffery’s eyes remained f

    Clara woke up slowly, her head feeling unusually heavy as faint sunlight spread quietly across the unfamiliar ceiling above her. For several long seconds, everything around her felt disconnected, like her mind was still trapped halfway inside a dream she could not completely remember. Even the sil
