Inside the bustling corridors of New York Medical Hospital, Eliot navigated the sterile hallways with a box of freshly baked muffins and brewed coffee.

He found Harlene in her office, tucked away from the frantic pace of the emergency ward. With a gentle smile, he knocked to get her attention.

"May I enter, Dr. Campbell?" he asked politely while showing the box of muffins and a cup of coffee to her.

Harlene cheeks turned red, and she immediately gestured for him to enter.

He set the cup down before her. All smiles while asking, “Morning, Harlene. How are you settling into the new office? Are you finding your rhythm here?”

Harlene looked up from her stack of patient files and returned his smile, though her eyes betrayed a hint of fatigue. “I’m doing alright, Dr. Carlisle."

Both of them chuckle as they are acting too formal in front of each other.

"It’s a lot to take in, but I’m gradually adjusting,” she replied, taking a sip of the coffee.

After a brief pause, her tone softened as s

    IN HAWKE RESIDENCE...SOPHIA’S ROOM – NIGHTThe room is dimly lit. Clothes are strewn across the floor. Sophia sits on the bed in the same clothes she’s worn for days, her phone glued to her hand.CALLING: MOMAgain. And again.Straight to voicemail.Sophia whispering, her voice broken, paranoia taking in, "Come on, pick up... please, pick up…"Tears silently fall from her eyes.She holds the phone to her ear like it’s her lifeline, her last connection to reality.It rings. Then voicemail.She throws the phone on the bed, then grabs it again seconds later. Tries again.CALLING: MOMSilence. No answer.Just that same soul-shattering voicemail tone.She tried over and over again even though she knew what happened. She’s aware someone took her mother, and she knew too well that it was THE WOMAN. The woman with the Guy Fawkes masks. The woman who took everything away from her.Her career. Her beauty.Her chance to be a mother. All taken by that god awful, vile woman, who until now did

    The moment Fallon and Nathan left the manor, Ethan hurriedly called Brooke not to check or locate Rebecca but to dig deeper into Fallon’s background.“Brooke,” Ethan muttered.“Working on it, boss. I’m checking all possible cameras that caught what happened—”“Change of plans. I need you to dig deeper into Fallon Kingsley.” Ethan cut him off.Brooke gasped, “The lawyer’s wife again? Why?” he questioned. Ethan stared out into the dark, “She said something tonight… something strange.”He replayed the words in his head.~I hope our baby looks like Nathan. If they look like me… then they won’t really look like me.~“What does that mean?” Ethan whispered to himself.His grip tightens around the phone.“Whatever you find, I want it on my desk by morning.” He demanded, then ended the call.Behind him, Madam Farwell stood by the sitting room archway, watching her grandson.“Ethan… are you sick? You’re not yourself.” She asked gently as she patted his back.Ethan turned slowly, his face blank

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 124 - Rebecca's Time

    SLAP!The sound cracked through the manor like a whip, echoing off the cold walls and high ceilings.Ethan's head jerked to the side. His cheek flushed a deep red from the impact. He didn’t raise his voice. Didn’t react.He stood there, head bowed, taking it. “I… I deserved that.”Fallon stood frozen. Her palm still hovered in the air, trembling from the force.“What the fuck is wrong with you?” She uttered through gritted teeth. Her hatred is more to herself than to him, as she longs for that kiss but needs to be stronger. His eyes flickered in shame, “I know. I do apologize for my behavior, Mrs. Kingsley.”A long silence passed between them, interrupted only by the ticking of the grandfather clock.Fallon stormed off into the living room. Ethan stood behind her, chest tight. But then his phone buzzed.A message from Brooke.~The culprits are on the move.~Attached were a police photo and an encrypted file.Ethan’s breath caught.It shows CCTV footage of Rebecca being dragged out of

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 123 - At the Farwell Manor

    Madam Farwell sat in the living room, trying futilely to relax with a novel. Her fingers trembled slightly against the pages, her jaw tense. Ever since Ethan announced his wedding, a storm had brewed beneath her polished demeanor. To her, it wasn’t a celebration. It was a catastrophe in a white dress.Her fleeting sense of tranquility shattered when a maid tiptoed in and announced, “The young master is here, Madam.”Startled, Madam Farwell snapped her book shut. Her eyes narrowed. He better not have brought that woman with him. The sound of two sets of footsteps echoed down the hallway. She didn’t even wait to see who it was.“I told you not to bring that woman here!” she barked.Fallon froze mid-step. Her hand went to her chest instinctively, her breath catching. Confused, she glanced at Ethan. “What did I do?” she thought in silent panic.She turned, ready to walk away, but Ethan gently grabbed her wrist and leaned in, whispering, “She’s not talking about you.”Then louder, “Grandma

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 122 - Longest Ride

    In the IMPERIAL PLAZA – FRONT ENTRANCESophia bursts through the grand glass doors of the venue, stumbling in her glimmering gown. Her veil had slipped halfway down her back, and her tiara sat crooked on her head. The once-perfect bride was now a portrait of devastation.Her makeup, once immaculately done, was now a dripping mess—black streaks trailing down her cheeks like war paint of a woman undone. She looked deranged, wild-eyed, and disoriented, like a princess abandoned at the altar.Civilians, hotel guests, and a few curious media reps pulled out their phones. Flashes sparked, record buttons flicked on.“Stop filming me, you vultures!” She yelled like a madwoman. She tried to snatch a phone from someone’s hand, but the crowd only grew. Her shrill sobs echoed down the street. Onlookers gasped and whispered, capturing every second of her very public unraveling.Meanwhile…IN THE VENUE BACK HALLNoel, who remained behind to coordinate damage control, watched through a window with

    In the hallway.Fallon laughs, “I can see you don’t remember me? We met briefly in the Farwell Group when I brought coffee to Mr. Farwell’s office,” she explains.Noel held the back of his neck in shame. He remembers her clearly, but is unsure why he acted stupidly. “I’m just messing with you, Mrs… I mean… Fallon. Of course, I remember.”All he knew was that he felt a familiarity with her, that he could joke around with her.Meanwhile, inside the GROOM 'S SUITEAllan stood by the minibar, pouring himself a shot of bourbon despite the early hour. Ethan sat on the couch, elbows resting on his knees, silent.“What a goddamn circus last night was. That Nathan motherfucking Kingsley sure is a bastard." Allan muttered harshly.Ethan didn't respond.“I mean, you don’t look like a man getting married today,” Allan added, turning to face him. “You look like a man walking toward the gallows.”Ethan chuckled darkly but said nothing.Then—Knock. Knock.They both turned.The doorknob twists, and
