LOGINKENDRICK’S POVAt this rate, she was going to kill him. Each slash was deadlier than the last.Felix’s mouth was so grounded with blood, but all he could do was gag.Tears filled my own eyes seeing her lose herself like this.“Becca…” I called out, but she didn't stop.Reaching forward, I grabbed her hand, blood streaming through. She snapped her gaze towards me. She paused, panting hard.Her face—a mixture of blood and sweat.“It’s okay,” I said softly.The knife hit the floor with a cling.She moved into my arms and I took her gently, soothing her.“It’s alright. It’s over now.”Her head fell on my chest, bursting into tears. My own heart bled, feeling the way she wrapped her hand over my shirt, tightening her grip.“I can’t… I can’t breathe,” she rasped hoarsely, her body sinking forward. That was when I noticed that she was bleeding.Her body slumped against me. Looking down—“Rebecca!”***REBECCA’S POV***Sunlight!The beeping sound of a machine filled my ears.I groaned, trying t
KENDRICK'S POVMy heart thumped watching the only woman I’ve ever loved leave. Not because I didn't want to go after her but because I deserved this. I deserved to be alone.I didn't deserve her, but that didn't make the hurt any less.My palm pressed against my shirt as I parted my lips, trying to get air into my lungs.Nothing.“Boss!” Lewis's voice jolted from behind me.Tears dropped from my face. I didn't care if anyone saw me like this.He forced me up, but I kept staring at the path she took. I could still see her retreating form.“Boss, I know this is a bad time but Miss Anna is gone. She must have left during the chaos," he said.Shoving his hand off, I responded, “It doesn't matter. I don’t care.”My steps dragged across the floor as I made my way into the office. I flopped into my seat.I stared at my phone resting on the table.“Boss, you can't just let things end this way. Miss Belmont cares about you. I’m sure if you explain the situation clearly she’ll understand.”The t
FELIX’S POVThe more I stared at her, the more I felt my stomach twist.It was like staring into a living, breathing photograph of Rebecca.That baby should have been dead five years ago.A sharp buzz snapped through the silence.I frowned and glanced at my phone.It was Anna.Of course. Just the person I needed answers from.Her voice came through, shaky and breathless.“Felix... where are you? I need your help.”There was the sound of hurried footsteps, echoing. She was running.Was someone chasing her?“Come to the abandoned warehouse, if you can,” I said coldly. “I need to ask you something.”Before she could respond, I ended the call.My gaze slid back to the two children huddled together on the cold floor.From Rebecca’s tone earlier, she hadn’t found out yet.Good.Minutes later, the rusted door creaked open. Anna stumbled inside, slamming it shut behind her.Her breath was ragged, eyes darting wildly until they landed on me.“Felix…” she gasped, grabbing my arm.I jerked free,
REBECCA’S POV“Every action has consequences... we just have to deal with them in our own ways,” I said, taking my eyes away from him.I moved, and this time, he didn't stop me. Even though a part of me wished that he had.My palm brushed the tears away from my face as I made my way down the hall.The sound of my phone buzzed, but I ignored it.I rested my forehead on the steering wheel, trying to breathe through the ache in my chest. One minute ago, I lost the man I loved and now I just wanted the world to stop spinning.Then the phone rang again.Finally, I took it out, sniffing as I realized that the person calling was William’s teacher. Did something happen? The doctors told me that, based on his trauma, he might never be the same after what Anna did to him.“Hello, is William alright?” I asked sharply.“Umm... Miss Belmont, William went out for recess, and he hasn’t come back. We’ve searched the school premises, and we can’t find him.”The phone slipped immediately from my palm.
REBECCA’S POVThe tires shrieked on the floor as I made my way into the parking lot. I had just dropped William at school, and now I found myself right in front of Kendrick’s company.“What are you doing, Rebecca?” I muttered, resting my forehead against the steering wheel for what felt like the hundredth time.I shouldn’t be here, spying on my own boyfriend… but curiosity had already won.As far as I knew, Kendrick and Anna weren’t supposed to have any private meetings—not after what happened.“Why don’t you just ask?” That little thought held me bound even though I was already making my way inside.If he wanted me to know, he would’ve told me, but he hadn’t.“Welcome, Miss Reyes,” the receptionist said sweetly as I was greeted by the unfamiliar face.Miss Reyes? God… we weren’t married yet.Forget it, there was no need to correct her.“Should I inform the chairman about your arrival?” she asked.“No, he doesn’t know I’m here.” I nodded, forcing a sharp breath. “It’s a surprise visit.
REBECCA’S POV“How are things going with the company?” I asked, snatching my robe tighter, staring down at the space over me from the window.Watching Kendrick chase William through the garden still amazed me—how effortlessly he’d become part of my life.Maybe it’s time I accepted that Kendrick was the one piece I couldn’t deny or let go of.“Sales are skyrocketing, ma’am, Alyssa said, excitement spilling through her voice. "And with the Sterling trending news, it’s hard not to see the brand also. This is one of the best PR stunts ever,” Alyssa said.I rolled a finger over my hair, eyes still locked on the figures.“Everyone is talking about you, Miss Belmont. It’s like you are a national treasure. The news about the confrontation is everywhere. Shocking to see that you actually have fans that are crazy about you,” she giggled.That’s just life. People are always quick to rush over to the winning side, but I won’t blame them.The Sterlings did their best to tear me down, and that was w
