Mag-log inRhea's POVI didn’t know where I was going, but I kept walking.I had no destination in mind. All I knew was that I needed to keep moving, to get as far away as possible from everything that had happened.As I walked through the streets, I saw banner after banner of Rowan. Some of them had pictures of him alone, while others had pictures of the two of us together.A bitter smile crossed my lips. I refused to shed a single tear.I didn’t know where I was going, but I kept walking.I had no destination in mind. All I knew was that I needed to keep moving, to get as far away as possible from everything that had happened.The first place I went was the bank. I emptied my account, taking out every bit of money I had, because I knew I couldn’t stay here anymore.From there, I headed straight to a boutique.I needed a change of clothes, something that wouldn’t remind me of the life I was trying so desperately to leave behind.While changing, my eyes fell on the scar on my hand.I froze.My f
Author's POV“Oh my God! Did that bitch just jump?” Rowan’s stepmother exclaimed as she rushed toward the bridge, with Mia and Liam following closely behind her.She leaned over the edge and looked down, but there was no sign of anyone. The darkness below made it almost impossible to see anything clearly.“Why did you shoot her?” she asked Mia, her voice filled with panic.“You asked me to stop her. How else was I supposed to stop her?” Mia replied calmly as she slipped the gun back into the waistband of her pants.The men who had been working alongside them had already turned back and disappeared. Now, the three of them stood at the bridge, each stretching their necks from side to side, desperately searching for any sign of Rhea.But it was getting dark, and the river below was completely swallowed by the shadows.“Mummy, I told you we should have just scared her,” Liam muttered, his voice trembling slightly.His mother immediately turned toward him and glared. “You fool! If you hadn
Rhea's POVI groaned each time, desperately praying for a savior, but no one came to my rescue.Liam and Mia successfully forced my mouth open while Rowan’s stepmother poured the medicine into it.I tried to spit some of it out, but my nose was tightly pinched shut, leaving me with no choice but to swallow. Tears blurred my vision as I struggled against them, my entire body already filled with pain. Was this it?Was this really the end?Would I actually die here, in the hands of these people?Once they were sure I'd swallowed it, they let go and sat back to watch.I tried to throw up. I tried so hard, but it was too late. Heat was already spreading through me, my skin burning from the inside out.“Please, Mia…” I begged weakly. “I beg of you, don’t do this.”Mia only smiled. “Oh, you can beg?” she asked mockingly.She stepped closer, looking down at me. “You mocked me. You made fun of me. You gallivanted around the whole country like some trophy wife, acting as though you had won eve
Rhea's POVWhen I opened my eyes again, my vision was blurry, so blurry that everything around me looked like shadows. A blinding headache throbbed inside my skull, making it difficult to think clearly.And then I realized something else.I couldn’t move my arms or legs.I struggled against whatever was holding me, pulling and twisting until I was completely breathless, but it was useless. My wrists and ankles were tightly bound, the ropes digging painfully into my skin.It took several blinks before my vision finally started clearing.I was in a warehouse.There were goods scattered around the place, some covered with dusty sheets while others were stacked carelessly against the walls. From the look of it, the warehouse had been abandoned for a long time. There was a strange smell in the air, a mixture of dust, dampness, and something I couldn’t quite identify.I looked around, but there was no one in sight.Only a few insects were crawling across the dirty floor.“Hello! Anybody her
Rhea’s POV Our pictures were everywhere. People couldn’t seem to get enough of us, and honestly, neither could I.And the divorce, he never mentioned it again. Sometimes, when he wore a serious look, I feared he’d bring it up, but he never did, not even when we had just a week left on the contract. Still nothing. That had to mean something, right? At least, I thought it did, until the night we went out for dinner and were driving back.Feeling completely comfortable beside him, and probably a little too carried away by everything that had happened between us, I suddenly blurted out, “You know, I never thought you would fall for me.”The change in his expression was immediate.It was as though I had just said something completely unbelievable.“Where did you get that from?” he asked.The question shattered something inside me.I should have let it go. I should have laughed it off and changed the subject, but instead, I swallowed hard and forced a small smile. “I was just curious, that
Rhea's POVThat was just the beginning of Rowan’s possessiveness. He started staying home most days, going anxious whenever my phone rang, and worse, he’d started video-calling me at work.Typical behavior of a possessive lover.At that moment, I was the happiest girl alive. Maybe this was it. Maybe seeing me with Ethan had made him realize something.One morning, after an incredible early-morning session that had left me completely spent, my legs still weak beneath the duvet, Rowan walked into the room with a tray in his hands, just like he had been doing for the past few days.I quickly sat up, a smile spreading across my face. “Good morning.”“Good morning, Angel. How are you?” he asked in that soft tone of his, a tone I had only recently discovered he had.“Well, completely wrecked by you,” I said with a giggle.He only looked at me, his eyes filled with admiration. I could see it so clearly that it made my cheeks heat up.“I want to talk to you about something,” he said.My hand
AUTHOR’S POV After the disastrous dinner, Rowan apologized several times to Rhea.Rhea kept assuring him it was fine, even though her night had been completely ruined. Still… the image of Rowan standing up for her replayed in her mind again and again, vivid as if it had just happened.But days pas
A Few Days Back!!AUTHOR’S POV Rowan Langston was halfway out of his office when his phone rang.He had just shrugged into his jacket, his mind already shifting to numbers, timelines, and a client who hated being kept waiting. Meetings didn’t bother him. People did. Still, he moved with purpose, l
Rhea’s POV I woke up feeling like someone had used my head for drumming practice all night.My eyes opened slowly, and the first thing I felt was pain sitting right behind them. I groaned and rolled to the other side of my bed, pressing my face into the pillow like that would magically fix my life
Rhea’s POVWatching Mr. Rowan from my bedroom window never got old. He moved like he owned the world, his broad shoulders perfectly fitted in that red shirt, the faint curl of cigar smoke marking his presence. My father walked beside him, talking quietly, but I wasn’t listening. My gaze was locked,
