Marietta’s POV

“Don't let them know,” Albert pulled me closer.

Tears formed in my eyes as my hands trembled in fear.

“Just get me a first aid box. It's just a scratch,” he replied.

In a second, I was soaked in sweat.

“Listen to me,” he said.

Reaching out to my hand and holding me firmer. He pulled me closer.

“You'll stich me up.” He whispered into my ears.

My jaws dropped in fear as I shook my head in disapproval.

“I've never done that before. I can't,” I stuttered and tried to run away.

“Then I'll hold you right here while you watch me die,” he replied.

I could see his eyes getting closed as much blood spilled from the cut.

It appears that whoever has done that left through the window.

There were shades of broken glass on the floor, which served as evidence.

“Hey, listen to Marietta.” He tilted my head up.

“Just follow my lead,” he pleaded.

Placing the cotton wool in my hand. And the spirit. He stuffed his mouth with some bandages.

    Marietta’s POVEverything in me went still. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t breathe.“What?” I whispered.She didn’t repeat it. She didn’t have to. I’d heard it loud and clear.I’ve just been in the hospital bed for two months, and Aiden has moved on?“How is that ever possible? How could he move on so quickly?” I whispered, crashing to the cold floor. “That’s because he forgot about you after the accident,” Bella whispered.I blinked back the tears in my eyes, letting myself know that I hadn’t seen Aiden.He hasn’t refused me yet. “He said he loved me,”“I know,” Bella answered.I slowly got back to my feet and tried to make my way out when I stumbled on the doctor.“Is everything okay? Miss Etta? Miss Bella?” The doctor questioned, looking confused.“Yes, doctor. Thanks for the help. I’m better now.” I nodded, faking a smile.“Bella, can we leave now?”“Wait. You need to see the pharmacist downstairs and get these medicines. It’s for Miss Etta,” the doctor said, handing over a white pa

    Marietta’s POVWhen I finally woke up again, I knew I had to take on the harsh responsibility. There was no more denying it — I had to face whatever this was.“I’m sorry for what happened earlier,” Bella said quietly, wiping her tears. “It was the only way to calm you down.”I didn’t need her to explain. I already knew she was the one who asked the doctor to sedate me.I let out a long sigh and gave her a small nod.“I really am sorry,” she said again, her voice shaky.“It’s okay, Bella. It’s not your fault,” I replied, keeping my voice low.After a pause, I whispered, “I want to go home.”I needed to see Aiden with my own eyes. I had to find out what everyone was hiding from me.“The doctor said you still need rest—”“Bella, please,” I cut her off gently, trying hard not to snap. “I’m fine.”I looked at her, my voice trembling with frustration. “What’s going on? Can someone just stop treating me like I’m fragile? Just tell me the truth. Is he dead?”“No,” Bella said quickly.And jus

    Michael’s POVNo sooner had I left the ward than I saw Marietta and Aiden getting out of the car.This guy really looks rich, judging from his looks and everything surrounding him.The cars, the hospital, the bodyguards–everything screams of luxury. I hid myself well so as not to be seen by Aiden. I wish Marietta could be alone so I can talk to her.Right now, I’m not in my right senses. I feel so confused and sad. My heart is unstable. What I feel for Donovan, and Marietta–I don’t know what it is. I feel so confused. I had waited for a few minutes when I saw Marietta dash out of the hospital in tears. I quickly made my way towards her, but she met me with a slap, one that stung my cheeks badly.“Let it out!” I yelled in anger. Grabbing her hands to repeat the same process, she snatched them off me. “What the hell do you think you are doing, Michael? Are you insane?” She screamed.“Yes. I’m insane about you. Don’t you get it?” I answered, trying to grab her by the hand again.Th

    Marietta’s POVUpon getting back into the suite where we had lodged last night, I could see some of the staff staring at me awkwardly.Each of them is careful with their choice of words. After all, they’ve been warned. One wrong word from them, and their job is over. I dashed into the room where my belongings were and started to pack them without wasting much time.Just then, the door flung open, revealing Aiden, looking devastated and confused.“What are you doing?” He asked, coming closer, but I refused to bulge.All I did was focus solemnly on the clothes I was arranging into my bags.“This ring belongs to you, Marietta,” he said, his voice low. “I’m not taking it back.”I didn’t say anything. Couldn’t.I was so tired. Tired of being the only one hurting, of loving like it was some kind of punishment.Tired of waking up every day with my heart in knots, wondering what would break next.So no, I didn’t fight. I didn’t cry.I just kept packing.“I’m done, Aiden,” I said quietly, dra

    Marietta’s POVAiden hugged me tightly, thanking the doctor countless times, as we watched his mother being rolled into the ward on a stretcher.“You can check back in the morning. We need to perform some surgery on her,” the doctor continued.I could see the joy radiating on Aiden’s face. It was much greater than before.As it should. I’m sure he’s the happiest man on earth. His mother woke up the same day he proposed to me. I’ve never believed in miracles, but this right here was one.“Thank you so much doctor.” Aiden said with a handshake while we watched the doctor walk away with one of the nurses.Turning to face the bodyguard, Aiden beckoned on their leader. “Keep an eye on my mother. And make sure no harm comes to her,”“Yes, boss.”“Listen,” Aiden’s hand entwined with mine, while pointing his left hand finger to the guard, “If a strand of her hair gets touched, you will not just be fired. You’ll spend the rest of your life in jail.”“We’ll guard her with our lives,” he respon

    Marietta’s POV“I’m sorry for leading you on,” I replied, my face filled with regret.That night, I never intended to sleep with him, but I was drunk. I wanted to get Michael and everything out of my mind.I still couldn’t accept the fact that my daughter was dead, as at then that I started to regain my memories. All I wanted was to escape from my reality, and now I didn’t know I had dragged Aiden along with my shitty life.“What am I supposed to do with you?” I asked, but Aiden cut in abruptly.“Don’t leave me,” was all he could come up with as he reached for my hand, his eyes desperately boring into mine.“Do everything you want with me, but don’t leave me, Marietta.” he shook his head, rubbing his hand against mine.“But-” “No buts, please. Stay with me,” he pleaded with tears welling up in his eyes. “Can you just trust me this once. I’m not Michael.” He repeated, pulling me closer. “What can I do to prove that wrong, Etta?”“We are going to have a lot of people talking about us

    Marietta’s POVMy breath hitched as I felt him closing in on me. I couldn’t process my next word as I swallowed hard, my eyes fixed on his Adam's apple.Did he mean what he said? “Relax,” he smiled, before helping me put the seatbelt on.“I was only joking,” he giggled a bit, and returned to his seat.I felt my heart pumping faster as I quickly hid my trembling hands.That was a fast one. I can’t believe I’m falling for someone who looks like Elsie–I mean, Jackson and Michael. I don’t pray to ever have those kind of people in my life ever again. “I’m sorry I frightened you,” he replied.With his hands still on the wheels and his eyes on me, I nodded abruptly.“That startled me,” I smiled briefly before holding back. “You might want to focus now,” I said, feigning a smile.All through the journey back to the office, I couldn’t believe Aiden would risk his life to come looking for me.Why could he have done that? Was he really in love with me? Michael has never come to my place wi
