Nine Years Then Goodbye A woman worth becoming
The following morning, I woke up with a strange sense of determination.I had spent too much time worrying about Adrian, his medication and the secrets surrounding his family. Yet, every time I tried to get close enough to help him, he reminded me that I had no place in his life beyond the agreement we had signed.Perhaps it was time I accepted that.I had my own battles to fight, and Shawn was still out there living comfortably, probably believing he had escaped every consequence of what he had done to me.I wasn't going to let that happen.After taking my bath, I dressed in a simple but elegant outfit, applied a little makeup and packed my handbag.For the first time since arriving at the mansion, I decided to go out simply because I wanted to do something for myself.I needed new clothes, skincare products and perhaps a few things that would make me feel better.I wasn't going to spend the rest of my life looking miserable because two men had made a mess of it.As I walked downstai
Nine Years Then Goodbye A Painful Reminder
Evelyn's words followed me long after she disappeared down the corridor.Your parents, in case you're beginning to forget.I stood there, unable to move for a moment. My fingers tightened around my phone as I stared in the direction she had gone.She had a way of reminding me that nothing in this mansion came without a price. Not the comfort, not the luxury and certainly not the protection I thought my marriage to Adrian might offer.My parents.She knew exactly where to strike.I swallowed the lump in my throat and continued towards my room.But even as I changed my clothes, my thoughts remained with Adrian.I couldn't simply pretend I hadn't discovered something suspicious about his medication. The doctor's warning was still fresh in my mind, and Evelyn's reaction only made my suspicions stronger.I needed to talk to him.Perhaps if I explained everything, he would understand that I wasn't trying to interfere in his affairs. I was only concerned about his health.The following morni
Nine Years Then Goodbye A Carefully Hidden Truth
Something was terribly wrong, and I couldn't shake the feeling that I had stumbled upon a secret nobody wanted me to discover.Early the following morning, I transferred the photographs from my phone to a folder and began searching for the names of the medications.Some of them were unfamiliar, while others were drugs I had come across during my time around medical professionals. I read through their uses and possible side effects, but the information only left me more confused.A few were commonly prescribed for nerve-related conditions. Others could cause weakness, dizziness and reduced muscle coordination when used improperly.I needed someone who could properly examine the prescriptions.By nine o'clock, I was dressed and ready to leave the mansion.I told one of the attendants I had an errand to run and asked the driver to take me to a hospital.I chose a private hospital not too far from the city centre. I didn't want to involve anyone connected to the King family, especially wh
Nine Years Then Goodbye The Prescription Of Lies
For a long time, neither of us spoke. Adrian remained in my arms, his fingers still clutching the back of my dress. I could feel the occasional tremor running through his body as he struggled to regain control of himself. Eventually, he pulled away and wiped his face with the back of his hand. He looked embarrassed, almost uncomfortable with the fact that I had witnessed him breaking down. He reached for a handkerchief on his desk and dabbed his face before turning towards the window. "I'm sorry you had to see that." "You don't have to apologise for being human, Adrian." He said nothing. I returned to my seat, giving him a little space. There were so many questions I wanted to ask, but I remembered what I had promised. I wouldn't force him to talk about things he wasn't ready to share. After a while, he cleared his throat. "You should go. I have somewhere to be." I remembered Evelyn's words about the appointment. "Your appointment?" His expression immediately ch
Nine Years Then Goodbye The Tears He Hid
"My parents!"The words escaped my mouth before I could stop them.I turned and hurried upstairs, ignoring the curious looks that followed me. I needed to hear my mother's voice. I needed to know that they were both safe.Once inside my room, I shut the door and immediately reached for my phone. My fingers trembled as I dialled her number.She answered after the third ring."Amelia, sweetheart! How are you?"The sound of her voice brought an unexpected lump to my throat."Mum...""What's wrong? You sound worried. Is everything alright?"I swallowed hard, forcing myself to sound normal."I'm fine, Mum. I just wanted to check on you and Dad. How are you both doing?""We're perfectly fine, darling. Your father is watching television as usual. Why? Is something wrong?"I glanced at the closed bedroom door."Has anyone come to the house recently? Has anyone asked about me or tried to contact either of you?""No, sweetheart. Nobody has come here. Is there something you're not telling me?"I
Nine Years Then Goodbye Now I Was One Of Them
And now I was one of them.I don't know how long I remained in that room, curled up on the edge of the bed, staring at the locked door. Every little sound made me flinch. Whenever footsteps passed outside, I held my breath, wondering whether Evelyn had returned to finish what she started.I couldn't stop thinking about my parents. Were they safe? Was someone still watching them? Had Evelyn already given the order to hurt them?I wanted to scream, but I was afraid that even my cries might provoke her.Eventually, the door opened.Two men stood outside. One was the man dressed in black who had kidnapped me. The other was a stranger I had never seen before."Get up," the stranger ordered.I scrambled to my feet, pressing myself against the wall."Where are you taking me?""You're free to go."I stared at him.” Just like that?” “ What about my parents?" I asked desperately. "Are they safe?"The man gave me an impatient look. "You should ask no more questions."My stomach twisted.I had no
