LOGINJason P.O.V
“That meeting was hell. I'm so glad is done.” I whispered while my head was pounding by the time I stepped out of the conference room, my jaw tight from clenching it too much, my mind already drifting back to the hospital.
To Brinda.
To my child.
I loosened my tie and dragged a hand through my hair as my assistant followed behind me, still talking about contracts and investors and
Brinda’s P.O.VThe knock came again.Sharp.Loud.My heart jumped straight to my throat.I froze where I sat, my baby still in my arms, her tiny body warm against mine.“Who… who is it?” I whispered, my voice barely coming out.No response.Just silence.My grip tightened around her.This wasn’t right.No one was supposed to know I was here.No one.My heart started racing.What if they found me?What if—Another knock.Slower this time.Deliberate.I swallowed hard.“Okay…” I whispered to myself. “Okay…”I couldn’t just sit here forever.I carefully placed my baby on the bed, adjusting the blanket around her.“Mommy will be right back,” I murmured softly, brushing my fingers against her cheek.She stirred slightly but didn’t wake.I stood up slowly, my legs sti
Jason’s POV I didn’t move and I couldn’t.The note was stil in my hand slightly crumpled from how tightly I had been gripping it.My eyes stayed fixed on the words like if I read them enough times… they would change.They didn’t.“Goodbye… forever.”The words echoed in my head like curse.“No…” I whispered under my breath.“This doesn’t make sense.” My chest tightened again.She wouldn’t leave like this.Not Brinda. Not after everything. Not after what we just… built.“She was scared,” I muttered, pacing slowly.“That’s all. She was scared.”But even as I said it, something inside me refused to believe it.Brinda was many things.Broken.Guarded.Stubborn.But she wasn’t a coward.She wouldn’t run without a reason.So what happened?My jaw clenched.“What aren’t you t
Brinda's P.O.V The taxi slowed to a stop in front of a dimly lit building.I lifted my head slowly and looked through the window.A cheap motel.The sign flickered weakly, half the letters barely working.For a moment… I just stared at it.This was it.“Ma’am,” the driver said gently.I blinked and turned to him.“We’re here.”“Oh…” I swallowed. “Thank you.”He hesitated, his eyes studying me through the mirror.“You sure you’re alright?”“The question caught me off guard and for a second, I almost laughed.”“Alright?” I muttered.“I had just run away from my life, nearly got killed, gave birth, left the man I loved and landed in a strange city with a new born baby and no plan.”But instead, I forced a small nod.“I’m fine.”The lie came out too quickly.Too easily.He didn’t look convinced.“You
Brinda’s POV The plane doors opened and the first breath of unfamiliar air hit my face. Cold.Sharp.Real.For a moment I just stood there, clutching my baby closer to my chest while the other passengers moved past me with their bags and chatter. Everyone seemed to know where they were going.Everyone except me.“Ma’am?” the flight attendant said gently. “We’ve landed.”“I… yes.” I forced my feet to move.One step.The another.Each step down the narrow aisle felt heavier than the last, like the weight of everything I had left behind was pressing against my chest.Jason.The thought of his name alone made my throat tighten painfully.I swallowed hard.Not now.Not here.I stepped out of the plane and into the airport terminal, my baby shifting softly in my arms.Her tiny fingers curled against the blanket wrapped around h
Brinda's P.O.V“Move, Brinda. Move now!”Sofie’s voice dragged me out of my frozen state.My arms tightened around my baby as another wave of fear rushed through me. My heart was beating so loud I could barely hear anything else.“I can hear them,” I whispered.Heavy footsteps echoed down the hallway.Voices.“Split up. She couldn’t have gone far.” the men’s voices echoed.Miss Cash.She didn’t just want to scare me.She wanted to finish me.“Sofie…” my voice cracked. “They’re close.”I know,” Sofie said, pulling me along. “Just don’t stop.”My legs felt weak, my stitches still burning from childbirth, m
Jason P.O.V“That meeting was hell. I'm so glad is done.” I whispered while my head was pounding by the time I stepped out of the conference room, my jaw tight from clenching it too much, my mind already drifting back to the hospital.To Brinda.To my child.I loosened my tie and dragged a hand through my hair as my assistant followed behind me, still talking about contracts and investors and numbers that suddenly meant nothing.“Cancel the rest of today,” I said coldly.She paused. “Sir?”“I said cancel it.”“Yes, sir.” she nodded.I didn’t wait for anything else. I walked straight to the elevator, my chest feeling heavy for no reason I could explain.The whole ride down, something felt… off
Brinda's P.O.V I sat on my bed, staring at the small pile of clothes I had folded. Each piece felt heavier than the last, like it carried a memory I was trying to leave behind. My heart thumped in my chest as I slowly moved things into my suitcase. I wasn’t in a hurry, not because I doubted my dec
Jason P.O.VThe house was quiet againToo quiet.Not the normal kind of quiet where Brinda would be in the room, sulking or humming softly while pretending not to notice me. This one felt wrong. Empty. Cold. Like something had been ripped out and the space hadn’t learned how to breathe yet.No foot
Brinda's P.O.V I stared at my phone, thumb hovering over the screen, heart racing. Finally… finally, I was ready. Ready to leave. Ready to breathe. Ready to choose me and my baby. I could almost feel the weight lifting off my shoulders, even though guilt gnawed at the edges of my mind.With shaky
Brinda's P.O.V My phone rang just as I stepped out of the yoga class.I was still adjusting my bag when I saw Sofie’s name flash on the screen.“Just the person I needed to talk to right now.” I thought. “The only bestie in my life.” I said excitedly. “Yes ohhh, no leave no transfer.” She said w
