TORN BETWEEN CHOICES

RYAN,

I don’t remember leaving.

One moment, I stood in front of her, drowning in the cold emptiness of her gaze. The next, I was outside, my feet moving on their own, my mind spiraling into chaos. The air felt different—heavier, suffocating, pressing down on me with an invisible weight that made it hard to breathe. My chest rose and fell in shallow gasps, but no matter how much air I pulled in, it never felt like enough.

I reached my car but didn’t get in. I couldn’t. Instead, I gripped the edge of the door, my fingers tightening around the cold metal until my knuckles turned white. My body was rigid, every muscle locked in place as the truth crashed over me in relentless, merciless waves.

She went back to him.

After everything—after the way she had melted into me, trusted me, held onto me—she still chose him. The same man who had broken her, who had left her shaken and lost, who had treated her like an afterthought. And yet, when it came

  • I NEED YOU, ELENA   TOGETHER FOREVER

    Chapter 130TOGETHER FOREVERELENAThe first light of dawn crept softly into the bedroom, casting a gentle glow over everything it touched. The world outside was waking up, but inside our new home, there was a peaceful stillness — a quiet promise that this was only the beginning.I lay beside Ryan, my fingers tracing lazy patterns on his chest. His steady heartbeat beneath my palm was a comforting rhythm, a reminder that after all the chaos, the pain, and the uncertainty, we were here — safe, together, and free.“Good morning,” he whispered, his voice thick with sleep and something deeper — something I could feel in the warmth of his eyes.“Good morning,” I murmured back, my voice soft and full.He smiled, brushing his fingers gently through my hair. “I still can’t believe this is real.”“Neither can I,” I admitted, my heart swelling with a happiness I hadn’t dared hope for.We had fought for this. Every battle, every tear, every sleepless night had led to this moment — to a life we c

  • I NEED YOU, ELENA   A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS

    Chapter 129A NEW CHAPTER BEGINSELENAThe morning sun spilled gently through the bedroom curtains, painting soft streaks of gold across the walls. For the first time in what felt like forever, I woke without the heavy weight of anxiety crushing my chest. There was a quiet calm, the kind that feels like the eye of a storm — a fragile peace earned after months of fighting, of clawing through shadows and lies.I turned to find Ryan already awake. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, dressed casually in a simple gray shirt and jeans, his dark hair tousled from sleep. His gaze was fixed on me, warm and steady, full of the quiet certainty that made me believe in us, in this life we were starting to build.“Good morning,” I murmured, my voice still thick with sleep.He smiled, that slow, easy smile that always made my heart race. “Good morning, Elena. You look beautiful.”I blinked, caught off guard by the tenderness in his voice. “You’re lucky I’m still half asleep.”He laughed softly an

  • I NEED YOU, ELENA   QUIET VICTORY LOUD HEARTS

    Chapter 128QUIET VICTORY, LOUD HEARTSELENAThe world outside was still buzzing with news and whispers, but inside Ryan’s apartment, time slowed. It was just us—no cameras, no accusations, no judgment. Just the two of us, finally able to breathe without the weight of the past crushing down.Ryan had insisted we celebrate quietly, away from the prying eyes and flashing cameras. “This victory is ours,” he said, “and I want it to feel like a win for us, not just a headline.”I hadn’t realized how much I needed that until I walked through his door. The scent of fresh flowers mingled with the soft flicker of candlelight, casting a warm glow across the room. A simple meal was laid out on the table, but the true feast was the look in Ryan’s eyes—steady, proud, and utterly devoted.I closed the door behind me and let the moment wash over me. After everything—the betrayals, the courtroom battles, the nights spent wondering if justice would ever come—I felt something I hadn’t felt in months: p

  • I NEED YOU, ELENA   REDEMPTION QUIET DAWN

    Chapter 127REDEMPTION QUIET DAWNELENAI sat alone in the small, stark waiting room, the hum of the air conditioning a low drone beneath the chaos spinning in my mind. Outside, the courthouse buzzed with life—people milling about, voices rising and falling like waves—but inside, I was trapped in a cocoon of silence and waiting.The last few weeks had been a whirlwind. Accusations, betrayals, court filings, and public scrutiny had wrapped around me like a suffocating shroud. Every news headline, every whisper, every sideways glance had cut deeper than I wanted to admit.But now, the hearing was over. The truth was out. And soon, the final verdict would be read.I clenched my fists, trying to steady the tremble in my hands. It felt surreal. So many times, I’d imagined this moment—standing in that courtroom, vindicated, free from the chains of lies and deceit. But now that it was here, the fear of disappointment gripped me tighter than hope.What if they didn’t believe me?What if Jason

  • I NEED YOU, ELENA   THE COURT ROOM RECKONING

    Chapter 126THE COURT ROOM RECKONINGELENA,The morning of the hearing arrived, gray and heavy with rain. I woke up feeling like the weight of the world was pressing down on my chest — the kind of weight that makes it hard to breathe but impossible to ignore. This hearing wasn’t just a formality anymore; it was everything. The chance to expose Emily and Jason’s lies, to finally clear my name and take back my life. But the fear? It still gripped me, stubborn and cold.Ryan sat next to me at the kitchen table, looking calm — almost too calm. His fingers idly traced circles on the back of his hand, and I could tell his mind was racing beneath that composed exterior. I reached out, letting my fingers brush his. “You ready for this?” I whispered.He looked at me then, really looked, and smiled softly. “As ready as I’ll ever be. We’re going to win. Together.”His confidence was the only thing keeping me grounded, the anchor in the storm. I squeezed his hand back and swallowed the lump risin

    Chapter 125FALLING APARTELENAI woke up that morning with a fragile hope I hadn’t felt in a long time. After months of crawling through this nightmare, dodging lies, and chasing down scraps of truth, Ryan and I finally had something real to hold on to. The kind of hope that makes you think maybe, just maybe, the nightmare is ending.But hope is a tricky thing—fragile and easily shattered. And that morning, it came crashing down faster than I could catch my breath.My phone buzzed with a message from Ryan: Meet me at the office. Urgent.My heart sank. “Urgent” was never good news when it came from him.I threw on the first clothes I could find—old jeans and a hoodie that smelled faintly like him—and rushed out the door. The city was still waking up, but my mind was already racing ahead, spinning with worst-case scenarios. I kept telling myself, Maybe it’s not bad. Maybe it’s just something small.When I stepped into Ryan’s office, he was pacing, a file clutched tightly in his hands.
