I barely slept that night.

Every time I closed my eyes, I saw that figure stepping out of the darkness again. Then I would feel that hand gripping my arm so tightly that it still sent a shiver through me.

When I woke up, my eyes immediately fell on the reddish mark left by the attacker.

I gently touched it with my fingertips.

A shiver ran through my entire body.

I took a deep breath before getting out of bed.

No.

  • My ex uncle Is my Destiny    chapter 50

    The news fell like a thunderclap.Richard Coleman was dead.For several seconds, no one in the room said a single word.Clark remained motionless, his gaze lost in the distance, as if he refused to accept what he had just heard.Daniel slowly lowered his phone.— The guards found him a few minutes ago.A shiver ran through my body.After everything we had just discovered, this death didn’t feel like a simple coincidence.I looked at Daniel with concern.— How did he die?He took a deep breath before answering.— Officially… he died of cardiac arrest.Clark’s expression immediately changed.He raised his head.— Officially?Daniel slowly nodded.— Yes. But the initial findings of the investigation suggest that it may have been poisoning.The silence that followed was heavy.Even the usual sounds of the hospital seemed to have disappeared.Clark clenched his fists, his jaw tight.— They silenced him before he could reveal the truth.Daniel didn’t answer immediately.Then he nodded.— Ye

    After Daniel left, silence once again filled the room.Clark hadn’t moved.The old file was still open in his hands. His fingers gripped the pages tightly, as if he were afraid of losing the slightest important piece of evidence.His gaze remained fixed on the documents worn by time.I watched him in silence.I had never seen Clark in such a state.He always seemed to know what to do, and he usually wore an expression that was impossible to read. But now, faced with these revelations, he seemed completely lost.— Clark…He slowly raised his eyes toward me.For a few seconds, he said nothing.Then he carefully closed the file and walked toward my bed.— I always thought I knew my family’s history.His voice was low.He looked again at the documents in his hands.— But in reality… I knew nothing.I could feel the pain hidden behind those words.Without thinking, I gently placed my hand over his.— You’ll discover the truth.He lowered his eyes to our joined hands.A faint smile appeared

    The next morning, soft light filtered through the curtains of the hospital room.The room was quiet, broken only by the steady beep of the heart monitor repeating the same sound over and over.Clark was still sitting in the chair beside the bed.He hadn't moved all night.Ever since Marie Rose had been taken into the operating room, he had stayed there, unable to leave. He had tried to close his eyes for a few minutes, but worry wouldn't let him rest. Every sound, every footstep in the hallway made him immediately lift his head.For hours, he had watched her sleeping face, as if he were afraid that something might happen to her the moment he looked away.Then, suddenly...Marie Rose's fingers moved slightly.Clark immediately straightened, his heart pounding.— Marie Rose...His voice was low, almost a whisper.The young woman's eyelids trembled before slowly opening.At first, the light seemed too bright. She blinked several times, still confused, until she could finally make out a f

    The hours passed with unbearable slowness. In the hospital corridor, time seemed to have stopped. Clark hadn't moved an inch. He stood in front of the operating room, his hands still stained with my blood, his eyes fixed on the red light above the door that refused to go out. Around him, nurses hurried back and forth. Stretchers rolled through the hallway, distant voices echoed through the building... but he paid no attention to any of it. The only thing that mattered to him was behind that door. After a while, Daniel approached with two steaming cups of coffee. — Sir... you should drink something. Clark barely glanced at the cup. — I'm not thirsty. Daniel gently insisted. — You've been here for more than four hours. Clark didn't answer. He kept staring at the operating room door, as though he expected it to open at any moment. For the first time in a very long time, he felt completely helpless. His money couldn't buy a miracle. His family name couldn't force anything h

    “Red alert!”Within a fraction of a second, security agents flooded the building’s stairs.Orders were shouted from every direction. The journalists continued filming despite the chaos, while the police tried to control the crowd gathering in front of the entrance.Clark could no longer hear anything.Everything around him seemed to have disappeared.Kneeling on the steps, he held me in his arms, one hand pressed firmly against my wound. Despite the pressure, blood continued to seep between his fingers.“Marie Rose… look at me…”His voice trembled.“Can you hear me?”I tried to open my eyes.The entire world seemed covered in a thick fog.I could only make out his face, so close to mine.His features were tense, and his eyes reflected a fear I had never seen in him before.Clark Terry…The man who had always been in control.And yet, a tear slowly rolled down his cheek.“The ambulance is here!” Daniel shouted as he ran toward us.Clark shook his head without taking his eyes off my fac

    The morning seemed as though it would never move forward.Ever since Vanessa’s call, a heavy tension had hung over the entire villa. No one spoke with the same ease as before. Even the employees moved around in silence, as if they were afraid of disturbing an already fragile balance.Clark had canceled everything that could be postponed. Security agents were watching every entrance to the property and Terry Group. No one was allowed in or out without being searched.Despite all these precautions, I couldn’t calm myself down.That knot in my stomach refused to disappear.Clark finished buttoning his jacket before turning toward me.“You should stay here today.”I crossed my arms without taking my eyes off him.“And you?”He sighed quietly.“I have an important meeting with several investors. I can’t postpone it.”I lowered my eyes for a few seconds before looking back up at him.“Then I’ll go with you.”His answer came immediately.“No. It’s too dangerous.”“Exactly.”I took a step tow
