The Plan

ผู้เขียน: Rejoice Ezeh

Beverly woke at four AM to the sound of her own heartbeat.

No alarm. No bell summoning her to service. Just her body's internal clock, trained by months of predawn kitchen duty, pulling her from sleep into the gray space before morning.

She lay still on her cot, listening to the mansion breathe around her. The old pipes groaning. The settling of ancient wood. The distant hum of security systems that never slept.

Somewhere three floors down, a guard would be making his rounds. Every two hours, like clockwork. She'd timed it obsessively over the past week, her mind cataloging patterns the way other people counted sheep.

4:17 AM: Guard passes kitchen entrance

4:23 AM: Guard checks main gate

4:31 AM: Six-minute window when east side is unwatched

Six minutes. That's all she would need.

Beverly sat up, her hands moving automatically to the small bump on her shoulder. The tracking chip. She'd been pressing it obsessively, feeling its shape under her skin, wondering if it hurt less when you k

  • Obsessed with His Unwanted Mute Bride    The Poisoning

    Despite the increased security and constant surveillance, Faye found a way.It happened on the second day after she arrived at the compound. Beverly was still on bed rest in the medical wing. Vanya had gone to get breakfast for both of them from the main kitchen, as she did every morning.What no one knew was that Faye had spent the previous night studying the compound's routines. Watching when guards changed shifts. Noting when the kitchen staff prepared meals. Memorizing the timing of everything.She had hidden a small vial in her shoe. Something she had brought with her when she first arrived. The guards had searched her clothing and bag thoroughly but had not checked inside the lining of her shoes.When the guard outside her holding room took a bathroom break-a thirty-second window-Faye picked the simple lock on her door. She had learned lock-picking when she was fifteen. Irene had insisted on it. Every Carter woman needed to know how to get in and out of places.She moved quickly

    After the media release went live, Diro returned to Beverly's room to tell her what had happened. He expected her to be relieved that they had dealt another blow to Irene's empire. Instead, he found her sitting rigidly in bed, her hands clenched into fists, her face flushed with anger.Vanya stood near the window, looking uncomfortable."What is wrong?" Diro asked immediately. "Is it the baby? Are you having complications?"Beverly's hands flew into motion, signing so fast Diro almost could not follow. You put that woman on television. You gave her a platform. You made her look like a victim when she tried to murder our child."Beverly, it is not like that-"It is exactly like that, Beverly signed furiously. I watched the interview. She cried. She apologized. She made herself sympathetic. And now people feel sorry for her. For the woman who poisoned my food. Who tried to cause a miscarriage. Who wanted our baby dead."She gave us valuable information," Diro said, trying to stay calm.

    The next morning, Faye was brought from her holding room to Don Fernandez's office for further questioning. This time, only Diro was present with Don Fernandez. Murphy was coordinating the media release scheduled for that afternoon.Faye looked tired. Her makeup was smudged. Her hair disheveled. The polished exterior from yesterday had cracked."Did you sleep well?" Don Fernandez asked, his tone neutral."As well as anyone can sleep knowing they have betrayed the most dangerous woman in the country," Faye said. She looked at Diro. "You know what she is capable of. You know what she will do to me if she finds out I talked.""Then it is fortunate you are here instead of with her," Don Fernandez said.Faye leaned forward, her hands clasped together on the table. "I need you to understand something. Yesterday I was following a script. Irene told me what to say. How to act. What to offer. But now I want to tell you the truth. My truth.""We are listening," Don Fernandez said.Faye took a d

  • Obsessed with His Unwanted Mute Bride    The Peace Offering

    The call came through the compound's main security line three days after Diro and Beverly's conversation. A woman's voice, polite and measured, asking to speak with Don Fernandez."This is Faye Lancaster," she said. "I would like to request a meeting. I have information about Irene Carter that you need to hear."Murphy, who took the call, was immediately suspicious. "Why would you help us? You were working with Irene. You tried to poison Beverly.""I was following orders," Faye said. "But I have had time to think. Time to realize that Irene used me just like she used everyone else. I want out. And I am willing to give you information in exchange for protection.""What kind of information?" Murphy asked."Irene is planning something. An attack on your compound. Within the next week. I know the details. The timing. The strategy. But I will only share it in person. Face to face."Murphy covered the phone and looked at his father, who had been listening on speaker. Don Fernandez's express

    The next day, Diro returned to Beverly's room as promised. He brought flowers-simple daisies from the compound garden. Nothing expensive or showy. Just something alive and growing.Beverly smiled when she saw them. Vanya put them in a vase by the window where Beverly could see them from her bed."I will give you two privacy," Vanya said. "But I am right outside if you need anything."After she left, Diro settled into the chair beside Beverly's bed. They sat in comfortable silence for a moment, just being together."How are you feeling today?" Diro asked.Beverly signed: Better. No cramping. The baby has been moving more. I think he or she is getting stronger."That is good," Diro said. "Dr. Silva says another week of bed rest and you will be past the critical danger period."One more week, Beverly signed. I can do one more week."You have been so strong through all of this," Diro said. "Stronger than I could have been."Beverly shook her head. Signed: Not strong. Just desperate. Despe

  • Obsessed with His Unwanted Mute Bride    Honest Conversation

    Diro stayed in Don Fernandez's office for another hour. They talked about guilt. About living with mistakes. About choosing to be better even when you did not feel worthy of redemption.When Diro finally left, he headed straight to the medical wing. He needed to see Beverly. Needed to be near the one person who had survived everything Irene had done and still found the strength to forgive.Dr. Silva was leaving Beverly's room when Diro arrived. "She is stable. Resting well. The baby is stronger every day. But she still needs to avoid stress.""I will not upset her," Diro promised. "I just need to see her."Dr. Silva studied his face. Saw the evidence of tears. The exhaustion. "Five minutes. Then she needs to sleep."Diro nodded and entered the room quietly.Beverly was awake, propped up on pillows, her hand resting on her growing belly. She looked up when he entered and immediately her expression changed. She saw something was wrong.What happened? she signed urgently.Diro closed the
