- Poisoned Truths

His eyelids moved, barely, but not enough to reassure me. I gripped his hand tighter, my thumb brushing over his knuckles as if the small action could bind him here, with me.

“You don’t get to walk away, Ethan,” I whispered, my throat tightening. “Not now. Not after everything.”

A weak sound left him half groan, half sigh. His lips opened. “S-Sonia…”

I leaned closer, trying to catch every word.

“You… stayed,” he whispered, voice breaking like glass under weight.

“Of course I stayed,” I snapped, tears hurting my eyes though I tried to blink them back. “Do you think I’d just abandon you after finding out someone’s been poisoning you for weeks? You stubborn, dangerous man, how long did you even know something was wrong?”

His quiet cut was sharper than any answer. My chest ached.

“Damn it, Ethan,” I hissed, my voice breaking. “You hide everything until it nearly kills you. Do you have any idea what it does to me? To see you like this, breaking apart in front of me

I gripped his hand tighter, my thumb brushing over his knuckles as if the small action could bind him here, with me. “You don’t get to walk away, Ethan,” I whispered, my throat tightening. “Not now.

  • His to Ruin, Hers to Reclaim.   Poison in the Blood

    - Poison in the BloodHer face hardened. “You think I’d hurt him? After everything? Sonia, I’ve been the one putting your broken kingdom together while you and Ethan danced in the shadows.” “Don’t twist this.” My voice shook with fury and fear. “I found messages linking you to Adrian’s associates. And now Ethan’s been poisoned? How convenient.” Naomi stepped closer, her voice dropping, deadly calm. “If I wanted Ethan dead, do you think I’d leave him lying here, hooked to machines? No, Sonia. I want him to live. For reasons you clearly don’t understand.” I froze. The air thickened between us. “What reasons?” Her eyes sparkled, sharp and unreadable. “You don’t want to know.” Before I could press her, Lucas burst in, his face pale. “Momwhat’s happening? Is Dad” His eyes fell to Ethan’s weak body, and his voice cracked. “Is he dying?” My heart twisted. “No,” I said furiously, kneeling to grip his shoulders. “He’s not dying. Not if I can stop it.” Lucas’s eyes brimmed with tears. “H

  • His to Ruin, Hers to Reclaim.   The Poisoned Truth

    - The Poisoned TruthMy vision blurred at the edges, the room spinning. Sweat dripped across my face. I swallowed hard, fighting the darkness pushing against me. “I can’t tell you everything yet.” “Of course you can’t,” she said angrily. “Because then I’d see the monster you really are.” The words gutted me. “I’m not the monster, Sonia. I’ve been trying to keep you from them.” Her voice broke into a whisper, trembling with grief. “And what if you are one of them?” For a moment, the world stopped. Silence roared louder than her screams had. My chest stiffened, but not just from the pain in my body from the truth in her fear. I closed the gap between us despite her reluctance, standing inches from her, my breath shallow. “Look at me,” I begged. “Look at me and tell me if you really believe that.” Her eyes flicked to mine, a storm of sorrow. For the briefest heartbeat, I saw the love she tried to bury, the love she was scared to admit. But then she shook her head, stepping back, he

  • His to Ruin, Hers to Reclaim.   The Ghost in the Shadows

    - The Ghost in the ShadowsMy tears burned. “I am fighting” “No,” he cut in quickly. “You’re surviving. There’s a difference.” I stumbled under the truth of it. He was right. I had been too afraidafraid of hope, of love, of yielding to something that could kill me again. But his words cut deeper than I expected. “Ethan,” I whispered, moving closer, “I’m scared. I’ve lost too much already. If I admit what’s in my heart, I can’t take it back. And if I lose you…” My voice cracked. “It will destroy me.” His face faltered, his anger cracking under the weight of my statement. But before he could answer, a sharp knock rang against the door. We both froze. Naomi emerged in the doorway, her face pale, carrying a tablet in her trembling hands. “You need to see this.” Ethan’s shoulders stiffened. “What now?” She paused before giving it to him. On the screen, a movie began to play grainy footage, familiar faces. Ethan. Celine. The deception is saved in pixels. My blood ran cold. “No,”

  • His to Ruin, Hers to Reclaim.   Crossroads

    – CrossroadsMy stomach twisted. “Then how do you know you can trust them at all?” No answer. Just the oppressive weight of their quiet. Sonia glanced at me, her eyes sharpening. “Ethan… what if the Shadow Player isn’t outside this room? What if they’re already inside?” The board strengthened. Suspicion sparked like flames. Eyes darted from face to face, paranoia spreading. Miranda shot up from her seat. “Don’t twist this! You’re just trying to cover his insecurity by creating conspiracies.” I leaned in close, my voice a whisper edged with threat. “Then prove me wrong. Open your books, your calls, your records. Unless, of course, you’re the one hiding teeth behind that smile.” Her face paled, but her mouth stayed locked. That was when the office door burst open. Naomi stumbled in, blood marking her sleeve, her breath ragged. Every head snapped toward her. My heart lurched. “What the hell?” I started, but she cut me off, her voice breaking. “They know.” Her gaze darted around

  • His to Ruin, Hers to Reclaim.   Poisoned Roots

    - Poisoned RootsThe room spun. My breath caught. Naomi’s face was drained of color. “No,” she whispered. “That’s impossible. I swear” But Ethan cut her off, his gun already in his hand. “Swear all you want. If this proof is real, then you’re not protecting us, Naomi. You’ve been leading us straight into the fire.” The sound of the safety clicking off echoed through the room. And all I could think was if she was lying, we were already lost. Naomi raised her hands slowly, tears running down her face. “If you pull that trigger, Ethan… you’ll kill the only person still standing between you and Adrian’s empire.” “I built this empire with blood on my hands. And I’ll burn it to ash before I let rebels sell it off.” The words ripped out of me as I slammed the glass doors open, my anger vibrating through the steel and marble of Vortex International’s offices. Executives scattered down the hall like frightened birds, whispers rising behind me as I walked toward the meeting. My pulse ham
