I HEARD HIM SAY " DADDY" The Runaway Truth
CHAPTER FIFTEEN : THE RUNAWAY TRUTHSAMI lay facing the wall, my body rigid despite the warm sheets beneath me. The room was silent, save for the faint hum of the city outside, a constant reminder that the world didn’t pause for anyone’s problems. My phone vibrated sharply on the nightstand, and I flinched, half expecting it to be bad news. When I saw the name flashing on the screen—Veronica—I felt my chest tighten. Why now? Was Simeon okay? I swallowed hard. Elena was asleep beside me, her steady breathing a cruel reminder of the life I had tangled with, of the impossible mess I had created.I swung my legs off the bed, my feet touching the cold floor, and answered the call. My voice sounded hoarse even to me.“Why haven’t you been picking up?” Veronica’s voice was sharp, edged with irritation but underscored with concern.“Nothing,” I muttered, trying to keep my tone casual, though every word felt like I was swallowing knives. “Just… busy.”There was a pause, then a sharp sniffle
I HEARD HIM SAY " DADDY" The Mistress and the Mastermind
CHAPTER FOURTEEN: THE MISTRESS AND THE MASTERMINDSAM“You better find her, Sam.”Elena’s voice cut through the room like a blade, sharp, urgent, and trembling with the kind of desperation that gnawed at her insides. The shadow of last night clung to her like a second skin. I could see it in the flare of her nostrils, the tension of her shoulders, the rapid, uneven movement of her hands.“She can’t just disappear,” she continued, pacing like a predator confined, her heels clicking against the floor in a rhythm that was almost frantic. “And more importantly, I can’t stand the thought of another woman carrying your child.”The words hit me, but not in the way she expected. I wasn’t angry. Not yet. I was calculating. Elena had been unraveling ever since I lost sight of Annalise in the dark. Her movements were sharp, brittle, and desperate, yet there was a fire there—a raw, dangerous energy I had learned to feed off.“We had a plan, Sam,” she snapped, her voice brittle, teetering between
I HEARD HIM SAY " DADDY" Between Fear and Truth
CHAPTER THIRTEEN: BETWEEN FEAR AND TRUTH ANNALISE I still didn’t understand how a urine test was supposed to save anything. The idea felt flimsy, almost insulting in its simplicity, like someone offering a bandage for a wound that clearly needed stitches. Nothing about this situation felt stable, yet Aiden stood there with that unnerving calm of his—shoulders squared, expression neutral, eyes steady. He looked like someone who had already made peace with the outcome, while the rest of us were still bracing for impact. Whatever plan he had, he was confident in it. And that confidence disturbed me more than outright panic would have. “Well, we need her blood to check for other things,” Dr. Harry said, adjusting his stance slightly, his tone professional but cautious. “We need to do a blood work to be sure nothing is wrong.” The word blood made my stomach tighten instantly. A familiar, irrational dread crept up my spine. “But she’s allergic to needles,” Aiden said before I coul
I HEARD HIM SAY " DADDY" Pressure Point
CHAPTER TWELVE: PRESSURE POINTANNALISE“The doctor is coming here? Mum, don’t be ridiculous!” Aiden’s voice cut through the room—sharp, urgent, yet tightly controlled.I stood beside him, fingers gripping the hem of my shirt until it dug painfully into my skin. My stomach churned violently—not just the usual queasiness, but a deep, twisting discomfort that left my muscles tense and my chest tight. I felt exposed, as though anyone could see straight through me, could see exactly how fragile I was.“She just reacted to something she ate,” Aiden added quickly, his tone tight with restrained frustration. “Now we’re having a doctor at the house?”“Well,” Mrs. Evelyn said, her calm voice slicing cleanly through the tension, “I think she’s pregnant. And since you two are hiding it from me, I’ll find out myself.”My body froze.Every breath caught painfully in my throat. My heart pounded violently in my temples. My hands trembled as they moved instinctively to my stomach, as if they could pr
I HEARD HIM SAY " DADDY" Behind close doors
CHAPTER ELEVEN: BEHIND CLOSED DOORSANNALISEThe knock on the door jolted me so sharply that my shoulders tensed without my permission. My heart jumped—not out of fear of whoever was outside, but because the sound dragged me back into the reality I had been trying not to think about. Another knock followed almost immediately, firmer this time, more impatient.I blinked, my gaze snapping to Aiden. Only then did I realize how long we had been standing there, facing each other in silence. Neither of us had moved. Neither of us had spoken. The awkwardness made my chest tighten.“Sir Aiden, your mum says to tell you she is still waiting,” Vera’s voice called through the door.A wave of unease rolled through me. His mother, Evelyn Blackwood, was still waiting, clearly expecting answers we didn’t have.“Oh—okay,” Aiden replied quickly. “Tell her we’ll be out shortly.”There was a pause on the other side. “Alright, sir,” Vera said, and then her footsteps faded away.The silence returned, heav
I HEARD HIM SAY " DADDY" Tangled between Lies
CHAPTER TEN: TANGLED BETWEEN LIESANNALISE Aiden’s mother, Evelyn Blackwood looked at us again, her expression firm but not unkind. There was a pause, the kind that made my stomach tighten because I knew she was thinking about every word she had heard and every expression she had seen. Her eyes lingered on my face a moment longer this time, as if she were trying to read something written beneath my skin, something I hadn’t said out loud. Then she sighed slowly, a sound filled with tired acceptance, as though she was already exhausted by the situation and everything it represented.“Fine,” she said at last. “I will leave.” Her gaze shifted briefly to me, then back to Aiden. “But make sure you get her ready to see a doctor.”I nodded, though I wasn’t sure if the gesture was meant to reassure her or convince myself. My chest felt tight, my thoughts scattered, and all I wanted in that moment was for the room to stop feeling so suffocating. The moment she stepped outside, she turned bac
