ELLE

It had been raining heavily since morning as though the weather knew what I was going to do and was trying to stop me. The rain finally stopped, but I’m sure this place would have been better if the rain hadn’t fallen.

The ground was muddy, and the air stank of sewage and decay. Those, however, were the least of my worries as I clutched the torn paper Jeremy had printed for me with the addresses of the women who had lost their children in Elijah’s first trial case.

The first woman, Leia Harlow, lived alone in the slums where I currently was, trying to locate which of the rundown houses that looked like they were one push from falling apart was hers.

I didn’t know much about Leia except that she was a widow and had one child, who had died due to the drug. I thought she would be the easiest to convince, which was why I came looking for her first.

After a few stumbles and slips, I finally made it to the house as directed by a child whom I had to give a ten-dollar bill to so he would

    AUTHOR’S POV“I didn’t expect it to be this bad,” Elle whispered as she looked at the contract. “This kind of contract shouldn’t exist,” she said, looking at Theon with teary eyes.Theon’s investigator was faster than she had expected. They had managed to get the contract a few days later. He said it had been buried under encryptions just like the other files concerning the research the research they had tried to get their hands on.And it was worse than any of them had imagined.Elle had read the document herself in silence that morning, with her stomach turning with every line that she read.By signing, the women had unknowingly relinquished all rights to their children’s bodies. The wording was buried deep, wrapped in layers of legal deceit. The clause even stated that the "minor dependents" could be enrolled in ongoing drug experimentation at the hospital’s discretion, in exchange for promised treatment.They had turned desperate mothers into unknowing accomplices to their childre

    AUTHOR’S POV“Do you think they would have settled down?” Elle asked Theon as they drove into the heavily guarded gated compound.“They should. We gave them over a week to get settled in.” Theon told her with a smile. She had been fidgeting since they started this journey and it warmed his heart to see how soft she was despite how hard she fought her enemies.“I know but, this is something big. Asking them to overcome their fear immediately just to fight the same enemy they’ve been hiding from,” she mumbled. “What if they say no?” She turned to Theon with wide, hopeful eyes.“They won’t,” Theon squeezed her hand reassuringly “Leia already said yes, and so did the others. They won’t change their mind again,”The car rolled to a stop at the entrance. Theon stepped out first and held out a hand for Elle to take. They hadn’t seen the place or the women yet. Sophie had been the one to arrange everything while Elle dealt with Elijah and Jackson.That wasn’t the end of that chapter but she

    AUTHOR’S POVElijah didn’t know if he was on the verge of tears, angry or just frustrated as he slammed his hand on the table. It wasn’t enough, so he swiped his palms on the table, causing the stack of papers and other accessories to fly off the table, clattering to the floor with a loud noise.All his efforts to fix the mess were useless. Every lead he thought he had, every loophole he thought he had found ended up being useless and a dead end. His plan had wrapped around his neck and was trying to kill him.He ran a hand through his hair. He felt older because of the nerves that were killing him. Rage bubbled under his skin, but anger clawed at his throat even harder. His eyes flickered back to the glowing computer screen on his desk.The video Elle had uploaded had over ten million views. It was growing, bigger than he had anticipated, and the comments were bad, worse than he imagined they would be, and some netizens had already taken it upon themselves to find out the identity of

    AUTHOR’S POVSterling Hospital was in chaos.As soon as Elle Blackwell posted that video, everything went downhill. The internet tore them into shreds. Patients were screaming to be discharged. They wanted nothing to do with Sterling anymore. They would not even allow the medical staff to touch them, not even to check their vitals.Mira raged like a lion. She saw the posts, saw the comments and the video. She was seething. Her hands trembled as she gripped her phone, marching to Elijah’s office with a pale face and her chest heaving.The door slammed so hard against the wall that it rattled the windows as she pushed it open, startling Elijah, whose head was buried in medical files as he read through multiple possible options.Elijah stood up straight, prepared for her wrath. He knew this was coming when he saw the post. He knew he had made a mistake, but…Smack.Elijah stumbled back, eyes wide in shock as Mira’s hand landed on the side of his face with a loud smack.“How could you do

    ELLEThe moment the maid told me a doctor I hadn’t called was at the door, asking to check on my son, I said nothing or lashed out. Instead, I smiled sweetly, grabbed my robe, and made my way down to the lounge to see who he was. The doctor stood in the middle of the lounge, an ID card around his neck, as he tried to hide the subtle traces of nervousness I could see all over him. He flinched when he turned and saw me already watching him, then tried to replace his nervousness with an awkward smile “Good afternoon, Mrs Blackwell,”I smiled widely at him, completing my descent down the stairs, “I don’t remember asking for a doctor, Mr…”“Doctor Jackson Kevin,” he corrected while providing me with his name, “I’m from Haven’s Hospital, your new primary provider. We know Doctor Hayes already told you nothing was wrong with Milo, so this is just a normal procedural check-up,” he explained. He had fixed his appearance completely now, appearing calmer with the assurance of someone who knew
