In the arms of two sins Chapter 105
Elias’s Pov I stared at the eggs on my plate, the yellow yolks congealing into a cold, unappealing mess. Across from me, Andrea’s chair was empty—likely still recovering. But it was the chair opposite me that drew my gaze. Mara’s chair. She hadn't come down for breakfast. She hadn't even opened her door when I knocked. *What is she doing in there?* I asked myself, the worry gnawing at my gut like a physical hunger. *Is she crying? Is she staring at the wall? Or is she planning her exit?*She's always soft, and make decisions out of emotions. She needed to eat. I stood up, the chair legs scraping harshly against the floor. I was halfway to the grand staircase, my mind already rehearsing what I would say to get her to open that door, when a hand touched my elbow.I turned. Camille was standing there. “Can we talk?" she asked.I looked at the stairs, then back at her. There was something in her eyes—a flicker of desperation that she was trying very hard to hide. I gave a short, cu

Mara's PovI forced a smile, though my lips felt like they were made of dry parchment. I reached up and wiped the lingering dampness from my cheeks with the back of my hand, a quick, jerky motion. "I’m fine, Margaret," I said, my voice sounding thin and hollow even to my own ears. "Something just... something flew into my eye.""Are you sure, ma’am? You look very pale. Perhaps I should brew you some ginger tea? It helps with the shock.""No," I snapped, then immediately softened my tone. "No, thank you. I just need to lie down. It’s been a very long night."I didn't wait for her to respond. I pushed back from the table, the legs of the chair screeching against the tile. I walked out of the kitchen and climbed the stairs, each step feeling like I was lifting a mountain. When I reached my room, I didn't turn on the lights. I walked inside, closed the door, and turned the lock with a definitive *click*.The darkness swallowed me, and for the first time in hours, I let the mask fall. I d
In the arms of two sins Chapter 103
Mara's PovThe first thing I felt when I opened my eyes was the silence. I was lying on a bed that smelled faintly of cedar and expensive detergent—David’s scent. Memory rushed back in a violent wave. The restaurant. My father’s voice. The shadow in the street. The fall. I sat up too fast, and the room spun. My hand flew to my forehead, brushing against a small adhesive plaster. David had cleaned me up. The thought made my stomach roll with nausea. I stood up, my legs feeling like weak, and stumbled toward the front door. I grabbed the handle and twisted. It didn't budge. I pulled harder, a sob of frustration catching in my throat. Locked.He had locked me in. He was still trying to "protect" me, still trying to control the narrative. I looked around the room, my breath coming in short, panicked gasps. My eyes landed on the window. I scrambled toward it, fumbling with the latch until it gave way. I climbed out, my fingers scraping against the wood, my joints aching. I dropped the

David's PovI sat on the edge of the bed, my hand trembling as I dipped a clean cloth into a bowl of warm water. Mara lay still, her breathing deep and heavy from the exhaustion and the hit to her head. A dark, ugly bruise was blooming across her temple, a mark where her skin had met the brick. I blotted the wound, my heart twisting in my chest. "I'm sorry," I whispered, though she couldn't hear me. "I’m so sorry, Mara."Seeing her on that sidewalk, with that shadow in the black hoodie looming over her, had been the most terrifying second of my life. I had fought that person. I had managed to land a blow, sending them stumbling back into the darkness, but they had vanished before I could see a face. It was made me remember last time when someone she was being followed.I brushed a stray hair from her cheek, my thumb lingering on her skin. It felt like a lifetime ago that I had the right to touch her like this. Suddenly, a memory flickered in my mind.Years AgoThe rain was pouring

Andrea's PovThe first thing I felt was the throb in my head, a steady pulse that made the back of my eyes ache. I sat up slowly, the sheets sliding against my skin, but my vision was blur. I had to reach out and grip the edge of the nightstand to keep from sliding off the bed. The room was dark. I blinked, trying to clear the fog in my brain. The last thing I remembered was heading out to meet David, and then, blacking out. I touched my forehead. There was no bandage, just a tender spot near my hairline. I must have been out for hours. My phone chimed on the bed beside me. The sound made me wince, but I reached for it anyway. I squinted, scrolling through the notifications until I saw the message from Leo, the man I had hired to keep an eye on Mara.“Found out more about her. This is where her father spends his time.”Below the text was a photo. It was a street view of a restaurant—dark wood, gold lettering, and a glass entrance. Richard’s place. I stared at the image, my thumb

Mara's Pov My phone was gripped so tightly in my hand that the edges dug into my palm. I had called my father six times. Each time, it rang until the voicemail picked up—his calm, recorded voice telling me he couldn't take my call.“Your father was involved in a serious accident at the restaurant.”The text message had come from an unknown number, but I didn’t care about the source. All I could think about was the years of silence between us, and the way he looked at me like I was a disappointment when he found out I was pregnant. If he died now, that would be all we had left.I swerved the car into the curb in front of the restaurant, nearly hitting a trash bin. I didn't even lock the door. I ran toward the entrance, my lungs burning, my eyes searching for an ambulance or police lights.But the street was quiet. The front windows of the restaurant were glowing with a soft, warm amber light. I stopped at the glass door, my hand on the handle. Through the glass door, I saw him. My fa

Elias’s POVI watched Camille walk away. I didn’t give her the satisfaction of a response, but that didn’t mean I was going to sit idle. Since this mess involves Mara, I will be moving ten steps ahead in my mind. Every time David’s name came up in the same breath as hers, it felt like a low-grade f

Mara's povIt was freezing cold, the perfect weather for a garden wedding. I clutched the mug Margarette had prepared for me, the steam rising in spirals to warm my face. Today being the day of the wedding made me nervous. I took a slow sip of the tea, my mind calculating the possibility of the w
