REVENGE OF THE PHANTOM HEIRESS CHAPTER 48 – Forced Intimacy
Berry woke with the mysterious necklace still clutched in her palm, the metal warm from her skin. In the morning light streaming through her bedroom window, the engraving seemed even more puzzling. "M.V." - initials that meant nothing to her, yet felt like they should mean everything.She slipped the necklace back into its small jewelry box and tucked it beneath her clothes in the dresser drawer. Whatever secrets it held, she wasn't ready to share them with anyone else yet.The house was quiet as she prepared for her meeting with Harold. Too quiet, considering Theo and Cossy were somewhere upstairs and Bryan was probably already working at his computer in the living room.---Two doors down, Cossy traced lazy patterns on Theo's bare chest as morning light filtered through the bedroom curtains. She'd positioned herself strategically, her body pressed against his side, marking her territory even in sleep."Good morning," Cossy murmured, her voice thick with manufactured affection."Morn
REVENGE OF THE PHANTOM HEIRESS CHAPTER 47 – Who Am I
The house felt different when Berry returned from the gallery. Not physically different, but emotionally changed in a way that made her skin prickle with unease. She could hear voices coming from upstairs as she closed the front door quietly behind her.Cossy's voice, sharp and demanding. Theo's, low and measured but tense.Berry stood in the entryway, her hand still on the door handle, debating whether she should just turn around and leave again. The conversation upstairs wasn't loud enough for her to make out words, but the tone was unmistakably confrontational.She made her way to the kitchen, hoping to avoid whatever drama was unfolding above her. But even there, the muffled sounds of conflict followed her. Berry opened the refrigerator without really looking at its contents, just needing something to do with her hands."Where were you this afternoon?" Cossy's voice carried down the stairs more clearly now.Berry's stomach twisted. She closed the refrigerator and moved toward he

"Oh." Bryan stood frozen in the doorway, holding a bag of cookies and looking like he desperately wanted to disappear. "I should have... I mean, I didn't think to knock."Berry's face flamed red as she frantically buttoned her shirt with shaking hands. "Bryan, we weren't... I mean, we were just...""Celebrating your recovery," Theo finished lamely, running his hands through his disheveled hair."Right. Recovery. That's... that's what we're calling it now." Bryan set the cookies on the counter and backed toward the door. "I should go. Let you two continue... recuperating.""Bryan, wait," Berry called out, mortified. "It's not what it looked like."Bryan paused at the door, his expression gentle but knowing. "Berry, it's exactly what it looked like. And honestly? It's about time."He gave them both a meaningful look before stepping outside, pulling the door closed behind him with deliberate loudness.The silence that followed felt deafening. Berry sat on the edge of the couch, her shirt
REVENGE OF THE PHANTOM HEIRESS CHAPTER 45 – Home Again
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
