Chapter Nine

Mikaela:

Just as I was about to utter the next word, the nurse interrupted.

“It seems you need some time to think about it more. You should eat. Please sit upright. The doctor would detach some of these machines from you today or tomorrow so you need some strength to function independently.”

I gulped, shaking my head as I pushed myself to sit up. “I'd rather he gets me fast food.”

My eyes darted to Kevin, and he smiled, the corners of his lips spreading.

“Fries?” He asked.

I nodded.

The nurse stared at us in disbelief, her face pale. “But you have to eat now.”

“I can wait.” I grinned. “Thank you.”.

Her brows relaxed in defeat as she mouthed inaudible words.

Kevin stepped closer, placing a hand on my head. My muscles went stiff timidly at the feel of his touch.

“You'll be fine.” He mumbled before leaning in to press a kiss on my head.

Oh, someone fuck his cologne in the face.

His fingertips scratched my scalp gently before he pulled away and turned.

I watched him exit and

  • HIS EX-WIFE, HIS NIGHTMARE   Game On: Eight

    Chapter EightMikaela:I didn’t sleep, I couldn’t, at least not with everything spinning in my head like a storm I couldn’t shut down.Samantha was in the bed, beside me, finally breathing peacefullyBut me, on the other hand, my body was exhausted.I went to sit by the window, with a dagger in hand, my eyes on the street below, just in case.A soft knock came. I went stiff, and silent but confident. I walked to the door slowly, and peeked through the peephole.Samuel was there, Ethan’s driver.I opened the door halfway. “What?”“It’s time to go,” he informed me. “This place isn’t safe anymore.”I didn’t move. “What’s going on?”“Two men came here pretending to be staff. They asked about a woman with a scar and a child. Your husband said it's them”I turned back towards the room. Samantha was still asleep.I swallowed hard. “Where are we going then?”“There’s another hotel outside the city with no cameras. Paid in cash. Ethan made sure.”I hesitated. “Samantha stays with me, right?”S

  • HIS EX-WIFE, HIS NIGHTMARE   Game on: Seven

    Chapter SevenMikaela:I heard a soft knock, then checked through the peephole. It was Samuel, Ethan’s personal driver for years. Trusted. Quiet.I opened the door just slightly.He held a first-aid box, a food pack, and a black bag. “Boss said to bring this and wait.”“Wait?” I raised a brow.“In case you need to leave,” he continued. “He booked a safer hotel on the outskirts. No cameras. Third floor. Cash paid. Clean.”I nodded and opened the door fully.He walked in quietly, set the bags on the table, and walked back outside.I cleaned the wound on my shoulder, biting into a towel to stop from screaming. Samantha didn’t wake up. She was exhausted.I changed into fresh clothes I found at the motel closet. A black long-sleeve and jeans. Light, easy to move in. Then I opened the food pack and ate. Slowly. Every bite felt like I was chewing stone, but I needed strength.Ethan called again. “You’re moving to the new hotel. Samuel knows the way.”“I can’t risk switching rooms yet. I need

  • HIS EX-WIFE, HIS NIGHTMARE   Game On: Six

    Chapter SixMikaela:The woman’s voice was low, but commanding. She wasn’t yelling, which meant she had done this before. She wasn’t afraid. She was cold. Calculated. And just below.My hands gripped the edges of the vent but I fell back down inside. I fucking failed. I pulled myself together quickly, my back pressed against the wall just under the vent. I could hear the footsteps fading, orders being given. Keys. Samatntha’s little footsteps above.If I didn’t get out of here now, they’d pin me in like a lab rat. I was either going to die or crawl through that damn vent with one arm and just rage.I reached up again. My arm trembled, but I didn’t stop. I got one elbow into the frame, then the next. This time, I didn’t slip. This time, I did ot give the woman a chance to pull me down. I folded my knees up tightly. By the time I got through, my shirt was shredded, but I was out. Out into the night.Samantha rushed over, trying to pull me further away from the vent.“Come on, come on,

  • HIS EX-WIFE, HIS NIGHTMARE   Game On: Five

    Chapter FiveMikaela:For a full minute, I couldn’t move. I couldn't even exhale. I just stared at this… girl, this ghost of Samantha Abrams.I buried her. I buried her. I buried her.They let me stand over a casket. Cry. Mourn. Collapse. They showed me the body and watched me crumble.What the fuck did they bury? What the fuck did I cry on?“You’re lying,” I whispered, but I didn't even believe myself.Samantha’s head slowly turned toward me. “No.”The ache in my chest broke wide open.I crawled towards her, my hands shaking.The blood from my shoulder soaked through my sleeve. My body didn’t care. Pain didn’t matter anymore. Not when my daughter, the one I thought I lost, was sitting in front of me, looking like what's left of Samantha. Only skeleton.I reached for her. She flinched.“Don’t,” she whispered. “They said if I talk, they’ll take my eyes.”I pulled my hands back slowly. “No one’s taking anything else from you ever again.”A sound echoed from the corridor. Fast footsteps,

  • HIS EX-WIFE, HIS NIGHTMARE   Game On: Four

    Chapter FourMikaela:I didn’t just scream. I tore instead. I couldn't take this anymore. I was tired of proving tough and unbreakable.And their mission was to break me? Well, they got it.It wasn’t fear. It wasn't a weakness.It was rage. Hot, boiling, endless rage. Like a volcano erupted in my chest, struggling to burst out.The kind of volcano you don’t cry through. The kind that makes your skin itch to be peeled off. The kind that comes when everything you ever trusted flips on you like a fucking backstabber in a mask.I trusted the detective. Now who else was left to betray me? Ethan?I just knew there were still loyal people out there but the Blacks always made sure to either get me to meet the evil ones or they'd bribe the good ones to get on their side. Or maybe threaten them.I screamed until the sound of it didn’t even sound like it belonged to me anymore. It didn't sound like it was coming out of my throat anymore.I stopped.Not because I was calm.But because my chest hu

  • HIS EX-WIFE, HIS NIGHTMARE   Game On: Three

    Chapter ThreeMikaela:I stared at the screen long after it went black. Kevin.Bloody. Beaten. Chained. Alive.He was supposed to be in jail. Or maybe that was jail?And he said not to trust the one person I had given everything to. The one person who had promised to protect my daughter.The detective.I staggered back, my legs hitting the chair behind me. I didn’t sit. I couldn’t. My mind was spiraling too fast for my body to catch up.This couldn’t be real. No. It had to be a manipulation tactic. A lie. A trick to make me panic. Right?Right?!!But there was something in Kevin’s voice. Something I recognized.That wasn’t a setup. That was a man who had nothing left but the truth. A man who had been forced to watch everything we were doing from jail.And that scared me more than anything else.The door opened behind me and I turned around immediately, eyes blazing.It wasn’t the man from earlier.It was a boy.Young. Probably not older than fifteen. He had shaky hands. His eyes were
