Attitude He was genuinely curious about what she would say next. She smiled after a while. "I thought as much" Francis said after seeing the smile. The next thing she tore the paper into pieces and there it at his face. "You can have your money, arrogant man," she said with a sick smile on her face. "I am so sorry I am the one at fault for expecting an apology from someone with your kind of personality. An apology from you will definitely reduce me to your level. So way beneath me. Do have a good day" She said and turned and walked out to the next street. "Boss should I go after her" Francis' eyes were on her till she turned a corner. "Sir" The driver said getting his attention. "Get in" The driver got in and drove of to their initial destination. ★ROSE HAVEN★ This place is just like it name, roses are everywhere of different color. The place was a lovely place for picnics but it was privately owned not for the public. Maria walked through the gates and took a deep breath. She walked further, her hands touching the roses as she walked pass. she stoped at a place with a clear opening where a tombstone was. The tombstone read: Hailey Diana Brooks 1976-2020 Forever in our hearts ♡ This place was owned by her mom and it was bought in Maria name reason her father didn't take it from her. This is the only closest thing she have of her mother with the photo frame at home. Her father made sure to burn all her memories. That vile man. But that is not why she is here, no negative memories. Maria sat in front of the tombstone. "Good evening mom," She started, her voice filled with emotion. "I know you are doing fine over there," she said looking briefly at the sky. "I finally got the job and I'm so happy, finally I can start helping Aunt May with some bills though I doubt she will let me" she smiled at that. "You know mom, sometimes I wonder how my life would I turned out if not for her. She is more than a God sent. I really miss you but she fills your space though not completely" "I wish you were here to watch me grow, it's been 6 years but it still feels like yesterday. I still remember how you cuddle me to sleep, how you comb my hair, taught me to cook. Even when you took me on my first dentist checkup. Why did death take you form me? Just why?" A tear slipped and she wiped it. "I am not here to cry but to celebrate the good news" "Though I met this guy today, he is so full of himself. Like his car nearly hit me and instead of an apology he threw money at me. Like what does he take me for. A cheap girl. Well trust your daughter I made sure I left with a huge comeback" "The worst part is he is so handsome maybe that is why is arrogant and the cherry on top he is filthy rich. But I'm not moved by money, so he can have them all to himself" "I know you would have handled him much better like you di to the boys who bullied me at school" She said as she reminisces on beautiful memories. She removed the former roses she placed the last time though she noticed one that looked at bit fresher than the others. She shook the thought off feeling she was over thinking. She plucked fresh roses including the ones her mother loved the most, white roses, and replaced the old ones. "Well I have to go now mom, I promise to come celebrate again with you when I fully resume on Monday. Bye" She left after closing the gates. Moments later a figure in black enter the Haven, with a white rose in hand and placed on the tomb. The figure stared at the tomb for a while. Then turned back and left as quietly as they came.

Lost in Thy Arms MY WOMAN NEEDS ME
CHAPTER 62: MY WOMAN NEEDS MEMay's footsteps slowed as she approached the house.The front door was open.Just a crack. Just enough for the evening breeze to push it gently back and forth, the hinges creaking softly in the silence. A sliver of light spilled onto the dark porch.May stopped at the bottom of the steps."Maria?"No answer.She climbed the steps slowly, her hand gripping the railing. The papers she had collected from the street — the medical report, the crumpled note — were clutched against her chest. She pushed the door open with her free hand.The living room was empty. The lights were on. Maria's shoes were kicked off by the entry table, her bag still sitting where she had dropped it."Maria? I'm home."Nothing.May walked through the living room. The kitchen. The downstairs bathroom. Every room was still. Every room was empty.She climbed the stairs, her legs heavier with each step. Maria's bedroom door was open. The chair from her desk was pulled to the closet. Boxe
Lost in Thy Arms WHAT WE FIND IN THE DARK
CHAPTER 61: WHAT WE FIND IN THE DARKThe house was quiet when Maria returned from the hospital.Sophia was home. Safe. Discharged. Maria had stayed long enough to see her settled into her childhood bedroom, Stella fussing over pillows and blankets, the house feeling almost normal again. Almost.Now her own house felt too still.She kicked off her shoes at the door and set her bag on the entry table. The living room was tidy. The kitchen was clean. A note from May sat on the counter: At the restaurant. Back by eight. There's lasagna in the fridge. Love you.Maria smiled faintly. She wasn't hungry.She climbed the stairs, her feet heavy on the worn carpet. Her room was exactly as she'd left it — bed unmade, work clothes draped over the chair, her phone charger dangling off the nightstand. She plugged her phone in and sat down on the edge of the mattress.Her eyes drifted to the window. The sky was soft with early evening. She thought about Francis. About his voice on the phone last nigh
Lost in Thy Arms THE GRACE WE GIVE
CHAPTER 60: THE GRACE WE GIVEThe hospital room was buzzing with activity.Sophia stood by the window, dressed in her own clothes for the first time in nearly two weeks. A soft blue sweater. Comfortable jeans. Sneakers that Jane had brought from her apartment. Her mother, Stella, was folding the last of her belongings into a small suitcase. A nurse checked her vitals one final time, marking something on a clipboard."You're officially free, Miss Martins," the nurse said with a smile. "The doctor signed your discharge papers. Just take it easy for the next few weeks. No strenuous activity. No screens for long periods. And if you feel dizzy or have any headaches—""Come back immediately. I know." Sophia smiled. "You've only told me twelve times."Sophia rolled her eyes, but there was no heat in it. She was too happy to be leaving. The same four walls. The same ceiling cracks. The same terrible food. She was done with all of it.Maria stood by the door, watching the scene with quiet sati
Lost in Thy Arms A MATCH
CHAPTER 59: A MATCHThe library was nearly empty.Jane sat at her usual table in the back corner, tucked between the literature section and a window that overlooked the courtyard. It was her spot. The one place on campus where no one bothered her, where the world shrank to the size of a textbook and everything else faded away.Except today, everything else wasn't fading.She had read the same paragraph three times. The words blurred together. Her highlighter hovered uselessly above the page.She hadn't seen Kenzie since the kiss.Five days. Five days of rerunning the moment in her head — his hand on her face, his lips on hers, the way her keys had slipped from her fingers and clattered to the ground. Five days of not knowing what to say or how to say it. Five days of avoiding the places he might be.And now he was walking toward her table.She saw him before he saw her. Or maybe he did see her, and he was just better at pretending. He had a book under his arm, his bag slung over one s
Lost in Thy Arms THE MOMENT OF SILENCE
CHAPTER 58: THE WEIGHT OF SILENCEThe corridor was empty.Maria stood at the intersection of two hallways, her hand pressed against the cold wall, her breath coming in short, shallow bursts. The exit door at the far end had stopped swinging. The parking lot outside was still. There was no grey suit. No familiar shoulders. No Sylvester.There was nothing.She had imagined it. She must have imagined it.But I saw him. I know I saw him.She pushed the exit door open again, stepped outside, scanned the parking lot one more time. A nurse smoking by the curb. An elderly man being wheeled toward a waiting car. A mother carrying a sleeping child.No Sylvester.Maria pressed her palm against her forehead. She was tired. Stressed. Still processing the chaos of the morning — Alfred, Francis, the secrets that kept piling up. Her mind was playing tricks on her.Or maybe it wasn't.She didn't know which possibility scared her more.Her phone buzzed in her pocket. She pulled it out with trembling fi
Lost in Thy Arms SEEING HER NIGHTMARE
CHAPTER 57: SEEING HER NIGHTMARE The morning had left Maria unbalanced.After Alfred's departure and the quiet, emotionally charged breakfast, she had retreated upstairs to shower and change. The hot water helped. The routine of getting ready — choosing a blouse, fixing her hair, applying the minimum makeup required to look professional — helped even more.By the time she stepped out the door, she felt almost like herself again.The office tower rose ahead of her, all glass and steel. She took the private elevator this time. No whispers. No sideways glances. Just the soft hum of machinery carrying her upward.The doors opened on the executive floor.Too quiet.Her desk sat empty, papers stacked neatly from the day before. The temporary secretary — Patricia, a girl brought in from one of the branches to cover while Maria was at the hospital — had left everything in order before returning to her original post. Maria was grateful for that, at least.Francis's office door was closed. No
Lost in Thy Arms BREAKFAST
CHAPTER 56: BREAKFASTThe front door had barely clicked shut when footsteps sounded on the stairs.May appeared on the landing, her robe wrapped tightly around her, her expression alert. Her hand was on the banister. Her eyes swept the room — Maria at the kitchen counter with a half-eaten croissant
Lost in Thy Arms TGE MORNING AFTER
CHAPTER 55: THE MORNING AFTERThe front door swung open."Maria! I brought pastries—"Alfred Dawson stopped mid-step, the white paper bag crinkling in his grip. His eyes swept across the room — his daughter in strawberry pajamas, her hand still curled into the lapel of a man's jacket, their faces i
Lost in Thy Arms BOYFRIEND ACTS
CHAPTER 54: BOYFRIEND ACTSThe police station was quiet at this hour.Francis stood at the front desk, his presence filling the cramped space the way it filled every room. The officer behind the counter had gone pale the moment he walked in. They all knew who he was."Mr. Huston." The desk sergeant

CHAPTER 53: THE THINGS WE CARRY"I told you before. The answer is no." He stepped into the room, his presence filling it the way it always did. "Nelson hunted you. He chased you. He left you bleeding on the ground. A week in a cell doesn't balance that. A year won't balance that.""I'm not asking fo
