ANNALISE/LISA

“Excuse us a moment, Mum,” Aiden said.His tone was polite, almost casual, but the moment his hand brushed against my elbow, firm enough to signal that this was not a suggestion, I felt a jolt of tension run through me.

The sort of tension that sat under the skin, quietly sharpening every sense, making the air around us feel tighter, almost claustrophobic. It was the same tension I had felt around him countless times before, though this was different—more immediate, more pressin

  • I HEARD HIM SAY " DADDY"   Elena's Resolve

    ELENA I rushed toward the sound of my son’s cries, my heart tightening with every step I took. His voice echoed through the house in a way that made everything else fall away, as though the world outside of that moment no longer existed. There was something fragile in the way he called for me, something that pulled at a part of me I could never ignore. Whatever Sam was doing, whatever had felt wrong earlier, whatever unease had settled quietly in the back of my mind—it could wait. It all had to wait. My son came first. He would always come first. When I finally reached him, the sight of him made something inside me twist painfully. His small face was wet with tears, his cheeks flushed, his lips trembling as though he had been trying—and failing—to be strong. The moment he saw me, he reached out without hesitation, his tiny hands grabbing onto me as if I was the only thing keeping him steady. “Mummy… I want water,” he said, his voice unsteady and soft, as though even speaking to

  • I HEARD HIM SAY " DADDY"   Something is off!!!

    ELENA “Sam, where are Jason’s pillows? I remember leaving them here when we got home.” My voice drifted through the room, soft and casual, carrying no urgency. It was the kind of question that usually earned an immediate answer, something simple and effortless. I expected to hear him respond without even looking up. But no answer came. The silence that followed felt ordinary at first, but it stretched just a second too long. That extra second was enough to make me pause. “Sam?” I called again, slightly louder this time, expecting at least a small acknowledgment. Still nothing. A faint crease formed between my brows as I took a few steps forward, my gaze moving slowly across the room until it finally landed on him. He was standing a short distance away, his back partially turned toward me, his phone pressed firmly against his ear. “Oh… he’s here,” I murmured quietly, exhaling under my breath. For a moment, I did not think much of it. There was nothing unusual about him being

  • I HEARD HIM SAY " DADDY"   He Never Left

    ANNALISE / LISA The room did not empty all at once. Sophia lingered longer than necessary, her movements slower and more deliberate, as though she were searching for something to fix, something to justify staying a little longer. She adjusted the same fold of fabric twice and smoothed my shoulder again, even though everything was already perfect. I could feel her hesitation. It settled quietly between us, unspoken but present. “Get some rest, okay?” she said finally, her voice softer now, the earlier brightness dimmed just enough to reveal the concern beneath it. “Tomorrow is a big day.” That word again. Big. I nodded because it was the expected response. Anything else would have required honesty, and honesty felt far too dangerous right now. “I will,” I replied, my voice steady in a way that felt practiced rather than natural. She studied me for a moment longer. It was not long enough to confront me, but it was long enough to notice that something was not quite

  • I HEARD HIM SAY " DADDY"   Veiled in lies

    ANNALISE / LISA “You can’t see the bride in her gown before the wedding day. It’s bad luck,” Sophia said, her voice carrying that careful mix of excitement and authority as she circled around me, her fingers lightly adjusting the folds of my dress. The fabric whispered against my skin, soft and expensive and suffocating all at once. From the doorway, Aiden let out a quiet scoff, the sound cutting through the room like something deliberately placed. “Oh, you actually believe in that superstitious stuff?” Sophia didn’t even pause. “It’s not superstition,” she replied sharply, smoothing down the side of the gown with more force than necessary. “Now please, leave. Alright?” There was a beat of silence, the kind that always stretched just a second too long when Aiden was deciding whether to push things further. Then he chuckled under his breath. “Okay,” he said, raising his hands in mock surrender, though the smirk on his face never faded. “Not like I care that much.” His eyes fli

  • I HEARD HIM SAY " DADDY"   The Wedding Dress

    ANNALISE / LISA The workroom felt different the moment we stepped inside. The air inside the room carried a quiet familiarity that wrapped around me almost instantly. It was the kind of comfort that came from a place filled with creativity, patience, and memories of countless hours spent shaping simple pieces of fabric into something meaningful. The faint scent of freshly ironed cloth lingered in the air, mixed with the soft smell of cotton and thread. Sunlight slipped through the tall window near the far wall, casting a warm glow across the room. It illuminated the worktable, the rows of neatly arranged fabrics, and the sketches pinned carefully on the board above the table. In the center of the room stood the mannequin. The unfinished dress still hung on it. Sophia walked toward it slowly, almost cautiously, like someone approaching something fragile. Her fingers brushed lightly against the soft ivory fabric as if she were greeting it after a long absence. For a few seconds,

  • I HEARD HIM SAY " DADDY"   The Dead Don't Return

    SAM The silence Elena left behind felt heavier than any argument we had ever had. I stood in the middle of the living room long after she walked away, staring at the hallway where she had disappeared. Part of me expected her to return. I imagined her stepping back into the room with that stubborn look in her eyes, telling me she had overreacted or that she had not meant the things she said. But she did not come back. The house remained quiet. It was the kind of silence that presses against your ears until your own breathing sounds unnaturally loud. I slowly dragged my hand across my face. The exhaustion sitting in my body felt bone-deep. My temple throbbed faintly where the bruise from the accident had not yet fully faded. The doctor had told me several times that I needed rest, but rest felt impossible tonight. My mind refused to be still. Instead, it replayed Elena’s words over and over again. Sell Annalise’s company. The sentence echoed through my thoughts like a hammer

  • I HEARD HIM SAY " DADDY"   Unexpected Proposal

    AIDEN “ Sir Aiden…” Vera’s voice wavered at the doorway, tentative, almost like a small animal daring to enter the lion’s den. Her hands fidgeted, wringing each other as if the motion could squeeze out an apology. “I—I thought she was still inside.” “I expected you, Vera, to put an eye on my

    ANNALISEI left Aiden without saying a word.I couldn’t. My voice would have cracked. My chest felt like it was being squeezed by a vise, tight and unrelenting. My ribs ached with each shallow breath. My face—God, my face—would have betrayed everything. Every thought, every fear, every heartbeat,

    ANNALISE As I heard Aiden and his mother’s voices at the door, a strange, unwanted thought lodged itself in my chest. What if I was passing up a good opportunity for my child? What if this was a way to get back my life and pay Sam back in his own coin? What if this was the chance for Annalise

    ANNALISEFor a second, I honestly thought he was joking.The words had come out too smoothly, too confidently—as if he were discussing a business merger instead of something as absurd as marriage. I waited for the punchline, for the faint curl of amusement at the corner of his mouth.It never came
