Married In My Step Sister’s Place Chapter 68
Alaric sat quietly beside his daughter’s bed, his eyes heavy from sleepless nights. The rhythmic beeping of the hospital monitor was the only sound that broke the silence. Zara lay still, her face pale yet peaceful, as if she were only sleeping. He brushed a loose strand of hair from her forehead and whispered softly, “You’re going to come out of this, my girl. I know you will.”Hours passed, the sterile smell of disinfectant mixing with the faint scent of lilies someone had left by her bedside. When his throat turned dry, Alaric finally stood, intending to grab a cup of coffee. But as he stepped into the corridor, he froze.There, on the row of chairs, sat Adrian and Isabella. Both were asleep Isabella’s head resting lightly on Adrian’s arm. The sight took him aback. For so long, he had carried resentment toward Adrian, believing he was the reason Zara had ended up in this hospital bed. Yet now, seeing the young man still here after the long night, exhaustion written across his face

He sat on a vinyl chair by the corridor, hands braced on his knees. For a long stretch of time he did nothing but stare at the linoleum and the sliding doors of ward rooms .His thoughts tumbled fear first, then the sour acid of guilt, then anger that recoiled in on itself. He wanted to see Zara, to hold her hand and command her to wake up. But the knowledge of the damage of the bullet lodged somewhere it would not belong made his feet feel leaden.His mother found him there. She wore the worried sternness of someone who had watched a son spin away from safety. She crossed to him and wrapped him in an embrace that smelled faintly of lavender and patience. For the first beat he did not return it. He allowed her arm to rest on his shoulder and felt nothing but the hollow ache.“Are you okay?” she asked softly, and the question was more a fragile thread thrown across a chasm than a real inquiry.“Everything is happening because of that girl,” she said suddenly, voice sharp with an old, ti

Adrian’s knuckles were white on the steering wheel, the city lights outside the rain-streaked windshield blurring into a smear of orange and grey. All that existed in his chest was a single, jagged thought that echoed like the striking of a bell: I will kill you with my own hands. It was not a prayer. It was not a promise he imagined he’d ever keep. It was the raw, animal pulse of someone who had been stripped of logic and left with nothing but the hot iron of retribution. He drove like a man trying to outrun himself red lights swallowed, horns a distant, useless chorus. Every pothole, every sudden swerve, felt like a note in a frantic drumbeat drawing him toward the police station. He didn’t remember thinking about consequence. He didn’t remember deciding anything other than the look he wanted to put on Blake’s face when it finally settled into his sights. When he pushed through the station doors, the fluorescent hum and the smell of disinfectant hit him like cold water. Blake sat

The air in the hospital corridor was thick, a heavy, sterile silence filled with the distant beeping of machines and the faint hum of voices from other rooms. Adrian sat on the cold metal table just outside the emergency ward, his shirt stained deep red. He didn’t even know whose blood was whose anymore hers or his. His hands trembled as he stared down at them, haunted by what had just happened.Why did you save me, Zara? his mind whispered over and over. Do I even deserve it? After everything I’ve done… after all the pain I caused you…He swallowed hard, fighting the lump in his throat, his chest tight with guilt. For a moment, he closed his eyes and wished it was all a dream. But this wasn’t a dream. Reality was cruel. And she was somewhere inside that room fighting for her life because of him.Then his phone buzzed, jolting him. He looked down at the screen Isabella.“Adrian,” she said immediately, her voice trembling with panic, “is everything okay? Both of you haven’t shown up,

Both of them turned sharply at the sound of Blake’s voice. He stood in the doorway, clapping slowly, his face twisted with an ironic smile.“Oh, so you two love each other this much?” he sneered. “Wow, Zara, you’re lucky.”His words dripped with venom. Adrian’s arms tightened protectively around Zara, who clung to him, trembling yet defiant.Blake took a few steps forward, bitterness darkening his eyes. “You know, in the past, I built a company from nothing. It was thriving. But then I made one mistake. I fell for you, Zara. And the moment I did, everything started falling apart.”Zara frowned. “What are you talking about?”Blake’s laugh was hollow. “Don’t act clueless. You see this man is your perfect husband? He took everything from me. My partners, my investors, they all left for him , he did this when he found out I liked you .”“That’s not true!” Adrian barked. “Blake ignored him, turning back to Zara. “And as if that wasn’t enough, when he saw me at the park , he punched me so

Zara’s POVIn the van where she’d been kidnapped, Zara begged, “What’s going on? Who are you? Please let me go!” But they wouldn’t budge. With a sack over her head, she could barely breathe. Suddenly, the vehicle came to a halt. Before she could scream again, something stung her neck she was drugged.When she came to, she found herself tied tightly to a chair with thick ropes. The sack was ripped off her head, and before her stood a group of terrifying men with cold, mocking eyes.“Where am I? Let me go right this instant! Who sent you?” she demanded, her voice trembling with fear.They didn’t answer only sneered. Then, a voice echoed from behind them.“I sent them.”Her heart skipped. That voice… she knew it.When the man stepped out of the shadows, her eyes widened.“Blake… sir?” she whispered.He knelt before her with a smirk. “I told you not to call me sir.”“Why am I here?” she asked nervously, trying to pull away as he reached out to touch her face.“I just want Adrian,” he sai

Later, the music swelled. Couples filled the dance floor, swirling under golden lights.“Dance with me,” Adrian said, his hand extended.Zara’s stomach dropped. “I’ll just embarrass you. And myself.”He exhaled sharply, irritation clouding his features. “You already embarrassed me the day you agree

Zara sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the closet, unsure of what to wear. The fight with Adrian earlier still stung. His sharp words replayed in her head, each one cutting deeper than the last.A knock sounded on the door before she could collect herself. Isabella stepped in, her phone in han

She heard a soft knock on her door gentle this time, not commanding. When she opened it, a young woman stood there with a bright little smile. Zara recognized her instantly from the wedding: Adrian’s younger sister.“Come in,” Zara said softly. “How are you? I hope he isn’t being hard on you alread

The limousine doors closed with a soft, final thud, sealing Zara into a world that was not hers. The faint scent of leather and expensive cologne filled the air rich, masculine, suffocating. It reminded her of everything she had lost: the safety of her small routines, the fragile comfort of anonymi
