Selena.

The walk to the dining felt longer than it should have, the quiet stretching between us in a way that made every step feel more deliberate than the last.

Denver stayed beside me, his presence steady and grounding, close enough that I could feel the subtle awareness of him without needing to look, and once, just once, his hand brushed lightly against mine as though reminding me that I wasn’t walking into this alone.

Behind us, Talia followed at an unhurried pace, her steps soft against

  • He called me fat....I stole his uncle   Closer

    Third Person POVThe basement was quieter than the rest of the hospital.The moment Denver stepped out of the stairwell, the air changed. It was cooler, still, filled with the faint smell of oil, metal, and something else that did not belong there.Something familiar.He paused for a second, letting it settle.Then he started walking.Slow.Measured.Every step was deliberate, his gaze moving across the parked car, his senses stretching beyond what his eyes could see.She had been here.Not long ago.The certainty of it sat deep in his chest, stronger than anything he had felt upstairs.Closer.Too close.---Inside the black SUV, Selena sat completely still.Her fingers were still wrapped tightly around the keys Jameson had given her, her breath shallow, controlled, as if even the sound of it might give her away.She had barely settled into the seat when she felt it again.That shift.That presence.She didn’t need to look to know.But she did anyway.She leaned slightly and looked t

  • He called me fat....I stole his uncle   She was here.

    Third Person POVThe hospital felt tighter as the evening settled in.It was not louder, not busier, but something about the quiet had changed.The calm no longer felt normal. It felt watchful, like the building itself was holding its breath.Selena tried to keep moving as nothing had shifted.She picked up files, adjusted trays, and wiped down clean surfaces. She moved from one task to another, not because they needed to be done, but because standing still made it worse. Standing still meant thinking. And thinking always led her back to the same truth.He was here.Not just in the building.Close.Too close.Every step she took felt like it might be the one that led her straight into him, and that thought alone made it harder to breathe.She turned into a quieter corridor, hoping for a moment to steady herself, but the moment she slowed, a voice came from behind her.“Esther.”She stopped.Slowly, she turned.Doctor Jameson stood a few steps away, watching her in a way that made her

  • He called me fat....I stole his uncle   No escaping him.

    Third Person POVBy evening, the hospital no longer felt like the same place.The noise of the day had faded into something softer, something slower, but the calm did not bring comfort. If anything, it made everything else more noticeable—the echo of footsteps, the distant hum of machines, the quiet conversations that carried just a little too far through the halls.Selena had tried to keep working.She had tried to move the way she always did, to finish her duties, to stay unnoticed, to pretend that nothing had changed, but the truth sat heavily inside her, refusing to be ignored.He had been there.He had felt her.And something told her he had not let it go.So when the sound of a car pulled into the compound again, something in her chest tightened before she even reached the window.She did not want to look.Something inside her had been restless all evening, like a warning she had been trying to ignore, as her body had already sensed what her mind was refusing to accept.Still,

  • He called me fat....I stole his uncle   Loving him.

    Selena.I stayed away from the main hall after the meeting.Even when the noise settled and everything returned to normal, I didn’t go back. I kept to the quieter corridors, moving slowly, taking my time with tasks that should have taken half as long, just to make sure I didn’t run into him.Because I knew one thing for certain.If I saw him again, I wouldn’t be able to hide.And worse—He wouldn’t miss me twice.I had just finished arranging a supply shelf when I heard footsteps behind me.“Esther.”I turned too quickly.Doctor Jameson stood there, watching me with a look that was softer than before, but not completely at ease.“Are you feeling better?” he asked.I nodded almost immediately. “Yes, I’m fine.”He didn’t look convinced.He studied me for a second longer than necessary, like he was trying to decide if I was telling the truth, and I held his gaze just long enough before something in his expression made me pause.There was hesitation there.Something unsettled.“What is it

  • He called me fat....I stole his uncle   Finding her.

    Third Person POV:The moment the cup slipped and shattered against the floor, the sound cut through the room sharply enough to draw everyone’s attention.Coffee spread quickly across the tiles, dark and messy, breaking the order that had been carefully maintained all morning.“I’m so sorry,” the nurse said, stepping back in a panic.“It’s fine,” another voice replied, trying to calm the situation. “Just get it cleaned.”“I’ll call the cleaner,” she added, already turning away.Not far from the main hall, Selena had already heard.She had been moving quietly along the side corridor, keeping to the shadows as much as possible, her steps careful, her attention fixed on staying out of sight. The moment the word cleaner reached her, her body reacted before her mind could stop it.She should have stayed hidden.She knew that.But instinct pulled her forward anyway.She had barely taken a few steps when she stopped abruptly.A nurse stood directly in front of her.For a second, neither of th

  • He called me fat....I stole his uncle   Her Scent.

    Denver.The moment I stepped out of the car, something didn’t sit right, and even though I couldn’t explain it, I felt it settle under my skin in a way that made it impossible to ignore.It wasn’t the kind of wrong that came with danger, nothing sharp or immediate that put you on edge, but something quieter, something almost easy to miss if I wasn’t paying attention, like something familiar had slipped into the air without permission and was now sitting there where it didn’t belong.I kept moving anyway.Doctor Jameson was already walking toward me, greeting me with a polite smile and an outstretched hand, saying something about it being an honor to have me there, but I barely registered his words as I shook his hand, because my attention had already shifted, not to the building or the staff gathered nearby, but to that feeling lingering just beneath the surface, faint but present, something I knew without fully understanding how.We stepped inside, and the moment I crossed the entran

    Selena.They returned me to my room without ceremony.No apology. No explanation. Just a pair of guards walking me back through halls I knew too well, their footsteps echoing as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. As if I had not been locked away beneath the ground and forgotten.The door

    Denver.The door closes behind her with a soft sound that lingers longer than it should.I remain where I am, my gaze fixed on the grain of the desk, a copy of the contract still lying open where I placed it. I do not move. I do not exhale. Years of command have taught me how to sit with decisions
