Berry sat at her desk staring at her computer screen, but her mind was still trapped in fragments of the nightmare she had.

She just couldn't shake it off her head and her mind.

"What's up with you?Did you not sleep well?" Theo said, appearing beside her desk with two cups of coffee.

"I had some weird dream and I can't seem to shake it off my head."

"What kind of dream?" Theo asked, setting one of the coffee cups in front of her.

"I was at some kind of formal party, wearing this beautiful gown, but everyone around me felt dangerous. Like they were all pretending to care about me while planning something terrible."

Theo's expression grew concerned. "Do you remember any faces? Any specific details about the location?"

"No, Just a grand ballroom with crystal chandeliers, people in expensive clothes, and this overwhelming feeling that someone I loved was about to betray me."

"Berry, sometimes our subconscious processes stress through dreams. You've been working hard, dealing with a lot of

    Theo arrived at the hospital with breakfast, finding Berry already dressed and sitting on the edge of the bed with barely contained excitement."Someone's eager to leave," Theo set the coffee and pastries on the bedside table."I've been awake since five," Berry admitted. "I kept thinking they might change their minds if I fell back asleep."Dr. Kim appeared in the doorway with a clipboard and discharge papers. "Ready to go home?""More than ready," Berry stood carefully, still moving slowly but steadily."Remember what we discussed. No driving for at least a week, no strenuous activity, and plenty of rest. If you experience severe headaches, nausea, or confusion, come back immediately.""I'll make sure she follows orders," Theo promised.As they gathered Berry's belongings, she picked up the bouquet of white roses from her bedside table."Someone sent these yesterday," Berry showed Theo the card. "No signature, just 'glad you survived.' Isn't that sweet?"Theo read the message, feeli

    The morning light filtered through the hospital blinds, casting soft patterns across Berry's face as she blinked awake. The steady beeping of monitors had become familiar background music over the past two days, but the throbbing in her head remained a constant reminder of how close she'd come to losing everything.Theo sat in the chair beside her bed, his hand wrapped gently around hers. He looked like he hadn't slept properly since the accident, dark circles shadowing his eyes."You're still here," Berry whispered, her voice still rough from the intubation."Where else would I be?" Theo brushed a strand of hair from her forehead."You should go back to the hotel. Shower and sleep in a real bed.""I'm fine here." Berry squeezed his fingers weakly. "Theo, you look terrible.""Thanks for the confidence boost," Theo managed a small smile."I'm serious, when was the last time you left this room?""Yesterday, it took about ten minutes to bring your coffee."Berry studied his face, takin

    Dr. Kim's expression remained carefully neutral as she approached Theo in the hospital waiting room, her scrubs still stained from the emergency surgery."Mr. Blackthorn, Miss Berry's injuries are extensive but not immediately life-threatening. She has severe head trauma, three broken ribs, and internal bleeding that we've managed to control."Theo's hands clenched in his lap. "When will she wake up?""That's difficult to predict. The head trauma has induced a coma. Her brain activity is good, which is encouraging, but we don't know when or if she'll regain consciousness."The words hit him like physical blows. "If?""I have to be honest with you about the possibilities. There's also concern that when she does wake up, she may experience memory loss again due to the severity of the head injury."Theo closed his eyes, feeling the weight of his failures crushing down on him. He should have insisted on going with her. He should have protected her."Can I see her?""Of course. But I need

    The hotel room felt suffocating as Berry paced between the window and the bed, her hands trembling every time she tried to process what had happened in Harold's office. The broken photograph of Jezza kept flashing behind her eyelids, along with the overwhelming sensation that she'd been looking at something familiar.Theo sat on the edge of the bed, watching her with increasing concern. "Berry, you need to sit down.”"I can't sit down. Something's wrong, Theo. The way I reacted to that picture—""You were overwhelmed. It's understandable after everything that's happened today."Berry stopped pacing and stared at him. "No, it was more than that. When I saw her face, I felt like I was drowning. Like I couldn't breathe."Theo's phone rang before he could respond. Harold's name appeared on the screen, and Berry's face went pale."Don't answer it," she whispered."I have to." Theo accepted the call. "Mr. Clarksville.""Theo, I need to speak with you about Berry. Privately.""She's right h

    Harold knelt beside the scattered glass, his hands shaking as he looked up at Berry's pale, motionless figure. The silence in the room was deafening, broken only by the sound of Berry's shallow breathing."Berry, please sit down," Harold said gently, rising to his feet and guiding her toward one of the chairs. Berry allowed herself to be led to the chair, but her eyes remained fixed on the broken photograph of Jezza. The image seemed to pull at something deep in her consciousness, something she couldn't name but felt with every fiber of her being."I'm sorry about your picture," she whispered, her voice barely audible. "I don't know what happened. I was just looking at it, and then I felt dizzy.""Don't worry about the picture," Harold said, his own voice strained. "I'm concerned about you. Have you been feeling unwell lately?"Gina stepped carefully around the broken glass, her face filled with worry. "Dad, maybe we should call a doctor. She looks really pale.""I don't need a docto

    Berry stayed late at her desk for the third night in a row, her computer screen illuminated with search results about Jezza Clarksville's death. The fluorescent office lights had been dimmed for the evening, leaving only the glow from her monitor and the distant city lights streaming through the windows.She had become obsessed with understanding what had really happened to Harold's daughter. The more she researched, the more inconsistencies she found in the official story.According to every news report, Jezza had collapsed suddenly during her engagement party from an undiagnosed heart condition. The medical examiner had ruled it a tragic case of sudden cardiac death, something that occasionally affected young, seemingly healthy individuals.But Berry had spent hours reading medical journals and case studies about sudden cardiac events in young adults. The condition was extremely rare in people without underlying health issues or family history. And according to everything she cou
