تسجيل الدخولVincent"The real person behind everything... is Nyelle."For a moment, I genuinely thought I had misheard her. The reporters erupted instantly. Questions flew across the room. Cameras flashed nonstop. Voices overlapped until the entire hall became one loud blur, but I couldn't hear any of it properly. I was staring at the nurse. The same woman who had sat in front of me crying. The same woman who had confessed everything. The same woman who had told me exactly how Leon manipulated her, exactly how drugs were switched, exactly how my father had almost died once because of it. Now she was standing on a stage, looking me straight in the eye, and telling a completely different story.I pushed through the reporters and grabbed her arm before security could react. "What are you doing?" I demanded, my voice low and shaking with barely controlled anger. "This isn't what you told me." Her entire body stiffened beneath my grip, but she still refused to look at me. That alone made my stomach
VincentDone." The word barely left the man's mouth before I moved.One second he was standing there with that disgusting smirk on his face, and the next, I had him pinned against the wall so hard that the frame hanging beside him crashed to the floor."Who sent you?" My voice echoed through the hallway.The nurses froze. The doctors stopped moving.Everyone turned to look at us. "Who the hell sent you?" I roared, grabbing his collar tighter.For a brief second, panic flashed across his face. He immediately raised both hands to shield himself. "Sir, I don't know what you're talking about—""Liar!" I shoved him harder against the wall.Just minutes ago, I had left Nyelle's room. Minutes. Now her monitors were screaming and doctors were fighting to stabilize her.The timing wasn't a coincidence. It couldn't be.Before I could force another answer out of him, the man suddenly shoved me backward with surprising strength and took off running."Stop him!" I pointed down the hallway."Securi
VincentThe doctor had already explained it twice. Ronan had explained it too.Yet somehow, hearing the words again felt like someone was driving a knife deeper into my chest."Mr. Hale, your wife's surgery was successful. Right now, we're waiting for her to wake up. The injuries were severe, and we honestly can't predict what will happen next."My hand shot out fast and grabbed the front of his coat. The doctor's eyes widened immediately. Around us, several nurses froze. "What do you mean you can't predict what happens next?" My voice came out dangerously low.The doctor swallowed. "Sir, please calm down—""Calm down?" I laughed. The sound didn't even feel like mine.My fingers tightened around his coat. "You just told me my wife might not survive and you're asking me to calm down?"The doctor's face turned pale. Ronan rushed forward immediately."Boss."I ignored him. All I could see was Nyelle.The last time I saw her awake, she had been glaring at me with those stubborn eyes of he
CassiaI couldn't breathe properly. No matter what I did, my mind kept dragging me back to the same scene that happened earlier today.Then the worst part of all, was him carrying her in his arms like she was the most precious thing in the world while I stood there watching.My fingers dug so deeply into my palms that they hurt.Still, it wasn't enough.I spun around the living room again, pacing so fast that my heels clicked loudly against the marble floor. My hand disappeared into my hair, ruining the perfect style I had spent over an hour creating that morning. I didn't care. Nothing felt right anymore"That stupid girl..." The words slipped through my teeth.The second she entered my life, everything became a competition.Back in highschool, it was always the same story. The boys I liked looked at her, the teachers praised her and people remembered her. Not me.It was always her.I still remembered one afternoon so clearly it felt like it happened yesterday. A boy I had liked for
VincentLeon slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared at the red stain on his fingers. Around us, the boardroom had gone completely silent. A few directors looked horrified. Others suddenly became very interested in the papers sitting in front of them. Not one of them had the courage to meet my eyes. The sight disgusted me."You should all be ashamed of yourselves." My voice cut through the room like a blade. Several of them flinched. I looked from one face to another, anger boiling hotter with every second."My father is lying unconscious in a hospital bed fighting for his life, and this is what you're doing? Trying to hand his company over to a snake before he's even awake?"One of the directors cleared his throat nervously."Vincent, that's not what this is—"I took a step toward him.nThe man immediately fell silent. "No?" I laughed bitterly. "Then tell me what this is. Explain it to me."The silence told me everything I needed to know. Finally, another direct
VincentThe second the car came to a stop outside the hospital, I was already out of it. The automatic doors slid open and I rushed inside so fast that several nurses and patients turned to stare at me. My heart was pounding so hard it felt painful. The phone call kept replaying in my head over and over again.Every single time I remembered those words, my chest tightened even more.A nurse hurried toward me the moment she recognized who I was. "Sir, please calm down.""Where are they?" I snapped immediately.She looked startled."Sir, they're still in the operating room."My hands immediately moved into my hair. The operating room. That meant it was serious. That meant neither of them was safe yet. "Where the hell is it?" I demanded.The nurse quickly pointed down the hallway. "This way."I didn't wait for anything else. I followed her so quickly that she almost had to jog to keep up. Every second felt unbearable. By the time we reached the surgical floor, I could see the red light gl
Vincent"Are you sure about what you're saying?" I asked again as I walked down the hallway, my brows pulled together so tightly they almost hurt. Nothing Knox was saying made sense to me.A loud laugh exploded through the speaker."Are you seriously asking me that again?" Knox sounded personally o
Vincent“What have you done to me?”The words left my mouth before I could stop them, and the moment they did, Nyelle froze.For a few seconds, neither of us spoke.I just lay there staring at her, trying to understand how I had gotten to this point. After five whole years of treating her like she
NyelleMy heart stopped immediately. The blood drained from my face as panic crashed into me so hard that I almost forgot how to breathe. Did I just get caught? My fingers tightened around the burner phone and suddenly it felt like the heaviest thing in the world. Vincent was walking toward me no
Vincent "You don't remember it?" I asked, my brows slowly pulling together as I searched her face. The question seemed simple enough, yet something about her reaction bothered me. Cassia's smile froze for the briefest second before she quickly recovered. She reached up and touched the necklace res
