Damien’s POV

Half an hour later, I was in the car, heading to the airport. Cindy sat beside me in the back seat, arms crossed, her face locked in a deep frown. She hadn’t said much since we left the hospital, and honestly, I didn’t care. Her silence was a blessing.

My mind was full.

I needed to see Ariana.

I needed to know if she was okay, if she was safe. I needed to know the truth , not secondhand lies.

Up front, I caught Alex’s eyes in the rearview mirror. He looked worried. He gave me a quick, forced smile before turning his eyes back to the road.

“Damien,” Cindy finally spoke, her voice soft but tense, “you don’t have to do this. You just woke up. You’re not even close to fully healed.”

I didn’t answer. I stared out the window, jaw tight. The passing buildings blurred together.

She shifted beside me. “Grandpa brought you here to recover. He’s going to be furious. You were in a coma for a month. You need to rest.”

Still, I said nothing. Her voice became background noise.

    Damien's POV"Ari... run... run... Ari!" I heard myself shouting. My eyes flew open, and I gasped for air. My heart was racing, my body covered in sweat.The sound of beeping machines filled the room. I blinked a few times, trying to figure out where I was. I glanced around and noticed the plastered white walls and medical equipment surrounding me.A hospital room. My whole body felt weak.I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through my chest. I groaned, feeling something tug at my hand. I looked down—there was a needle in my vein. My chest ached, and I saw a bandage wrapped around it.Then it hit me. The last thing I remembered was Ariana throwing herself over me while I was getting beaten. Then—darkness.I remembered that Ariana had been kidnapped, and while trying to rescue her, I got shot."Ariana..." I whispered, trying to move again.The door suddenly opened, and Alex walked in. His eyes went wide, and for a second, he just stood there, like he was seeing a ghost."Boss!" he

    Julie's POVThe sound of my alarm woke me up, and I groaned, rolling over to shut it off. Today was the day of the interview I had been waiting for. My heart pounded with a mix of excitement and anxiety as I lay there for a moment, staring at the ceiling.Taking a deep breath, I forced myself out of bed and stretched. "You got this, Julie," I whispered to myself.I walked to the bathroom, splashing cold water on my face to shake off the lingering sleepiness. As I stared at my reflection, I noticed the nervous energy in my eyes. I picked up my toothbrush and began brushing my teeth."Okay, no overthinking," I muttered. "Just get dressed, look confident, and don’t mess this up."After a quick shower, I stood in front of my wardrobe, debating what to wear. Should I go for a formal black suit or something slightly more relaxed? I wanted to look professional but also feel comfortable. After a few minutes of indecision, I finally settled on a white blouse tucked into a navy-blue pencil skir

    Julie's POV“Mmmmm, why are you so delicious?” I said, eyeing the last bite of pizza in my hand before tossing it into my mouth. Just as I was about to take a sip of my cappuccino, my phone buzzed.I stood up and walked toward my phone, which was lying on the bed. As I picked it up, I noticed I had a new email. I opened it, and my eyes widened as I read:"Hope this message meets you well. Your job application has been approved, and the interview will take place in two weeks' time. More details will be emailed to you."“Oh my God! My application has been approved by Charlie Designs!” I shouted in excitement, my voice echoing in the room as I jumped on the bed.After I kicked myself out of my old job—thanks to that disgusting former boss of mine who was a molester in disguise—it had been a struggle. Every job I applied to rejected me. I’d almost given up hope on ever finding a decent job again.“I need to tell Ari about this! I’m so happy!” I said out loud to no one, grabbing my phone t

    Ariana's POV"And what the hell are you doing here?" Cindy's voice rang out as she walked toward me.I stood my ground, refusing to let her presence intimidate me. "I think I should be the one asking you that," I shot back.She let out a sharp, mocking laugh that made my skin crawl. "You have some nerve showing your face here after what happened to Damien because of you. If I were you, I would’ve disappeared for good. Don’t be a fool, Ariana."Her words hit me like a slap. My fingers curled into fists, but I forced myself to remain calm."Have you been waiting for him to get hurt all along just so you could take advantage of the situation? Driving his car, pretending to be his fiancée, acting like you're already Mrs. Logan while Damien is still in a coma? You have no shame, Cindy." The words spilled out before I could stop myself.Cindy's smile faltered for just a second before she regained her composure. She took a slow step closer, her eyes glinting with something sinister. "Oh, Ari

    Ariana's POVThe door suddenly opened, and I quickly pulled my hand away from Damien’s face as if I had been caught doing something I shouldn’t. My heart jumped in my chest, and I turned to see a guard stepping inside."It's been ten minutes. I think you should be done now," the guard said, his tone neutral.I swallowed hard and nodded. "Yeah... yes... I'm done already. I was about to leave," I murmured, taking one last lingering look at Damien’s unconscious face before turning away.With a heavy heart, I followed Alex toward the door, my steps slow, reluctant. The silence between us as we walked back to my ward was thick with unspoken thoughts. Seeing Damien like that—helpless, lifeless and pale made my stomach twist. How long would he be like that? When would he open his eyes? Would he ever? The thought was unbearable.When we reached my ward, I turned to Alex, forcing a small, appreciative smile. "Thank you so much, Alex.""Uh... it’s nothing, Miss," he replied with a slight smile.
