LOGIN“Alina, you will get late for school again” I heard Dad banging on my door. “Last 10 min” I mumble, but my eyes widen. I was with Uncle Harrison. Did Dad find us? “Alina…” I opened my eyes, I was in my room and Harrison was looking at me with a warm smile wearing his signature suit. “I am taking a bath” I yelled. “Come fast, your breakfast is ready,” Dad said before leaving. “Good morning” Uncle Harrison came to bed cupping my face he kissed me. “Good morning” I whispered on his lips. “When did you bring me here,” I asked. “You were sleeping,” He said, scooping me in his arms and entering my bathroom. “This hide and seek is terrible” I sighed. “But it's fun” He chuckled. Author Note... Hello dear Readers, Meet Alina and her family. The story of love, care, romance and lots of suspense..

She’s curled into herself on the bed, arms wrapped tightly around her body like she’s trying to hide from the entire world. Her eyes flick up to me for a second, confused and vulnerable, before dropping again.Something about that look twists uncomfortably in my chest.I shouldn’t be here like this.I swallow slowly, forcing my gaze away from her for a moment. My jaw tightens as I drag a breath through my nose.The medicine is already working.I can feel it.A slow heat starts spreading through my body, subtle at first but impossible to ignore once I notice it. My muscles feel tighter, restless under my skin, like something inside me has been switched on.Damn it.Right on time.Every three months.The same damn cycle.My fingers curl slightly at my sides as I try to steady myself. I knew this would happen the moment I checked my watch. That’s why I took the pill. It’s supposed to keep
Alina POVEverything feels wrong.Like the world has been wrapped in thick fog and I’m trapped somewhere inside it. My thoughts won’t stay still long enough to make sense of them. They slip away the moment I try to grab them.My body doesn’t feel like mine anymore.It’s trembling, stiff, restless all at once. I can’t understand what’s happening to me. Every small sound feels too loud. The scrape of a chair, someone shifting their weight, even the quiet hum of the room—it all makes my heart slam harder against my ribs.I keep waiting for something bad to happen.Like danger is already here… just hiding in the corners.My breathing comes out uneven, shaky. I pull my arms around myself and squeeze as tight as I can, like I’m trying to hold my own body together before it falls apart. The pressure helps a little. Not much, but enough to keep me from completely losing control.The only clothes on my body was my panty that was cling to my skin. Damp. Cold.I hate the feeling.“Alina… relax.”
Harrison Pov The hotel room was silent, the hum of the air conditioner filling the emptiness. Alina lay on the bed, completely still, as if she had vanished from the world. Hours had passed. Hours of nothing but waiting. I sat beside her, my phone trembling in my hand as I scrolled through her preliminary report. Each word was a blow. Each line made my chest tighten. The substance in her blood didn’t exist. No name, no classification, no logic. Not medicine. Not anything meant to heal. It was experimentation. Pure, deliberate manipulation. She had been drugged. No one could tell with what. Some of the terms triggered memories that weren’t mine—fragments, flashes of knowledge I couldn’t fully grasp. I searched online, desperate, but it was useless. I deal in law. Evidence, facts, argument. Science like this… it was a foreign language, and it made me feel helpless. Past midnight. Dr. Marshall. He would be asleep, probably, tucked away in his quiet house. My thumb hovered over t
We reached the hotel. I didn’t even wait for Arc to stop the car—I jumped out, sprinting toward the reception desk.“How may I help you, sir?” the lady behind the counter asked, her voice calm and professional.“I’m Harrison Hayes,” I said, my breathing coming fast, heart pounding in my chest.“Yes, Mr. Hayes,” she replied quickly, signaling to another staff member. “The security room is this way.”“Where’s the school prom party happening?” I asked, eyes darting around the lobby.“It’s in the main hall,” the security guard answered. “Go straight, then take a left.” He paused, studying my expression. “You want to check the cameras to find her, don’t you?”“Arc will go with you,” I said, glancing back just as Arc caught up, slightly out of breath.“Stay connected with me on call,” I told him, already turning toward the hallway. My pulse hammered in my ears as I rushed toward the hall, praying she was safe—somewhere inside, surrounded by her friends.The strong smell of alcohol and smoke
Harrison POVI couldn’t breathe in that room.The air felt thick, like it was pressing down on my chest, squeezing out whatever calm I had left. So I stepped out onto the balcony, lit a cigarette with shaking fingers, and sat down hard on the cold concrete. The night air was supposed to clear my he
Alina’s POV Late night. Cold air. A silence that felt too heavy to breathe.I lay still, wrapped in a thin sheet, my body aching in places I didn’t want to think about. Everything felt slow—like my soul was moving half a step behind my body. I wasn’t crying anymore, just staring blankly at the cei
The room was dim, glowing softly from the warm light of a few wall lamps. The air smelled faintly of cigarette smoke that curled slowly toward the ceiling. Robert sat slouched in the corner booth, the worn leather creaking under him. One hand rested on the table, his fingers tapping slowly beside a
