Ripples And Hills Chapter 68.
Hulio. Meanwhile. The world fades into the background as I drive, putting distance between myself and the hospital. The same hospital where I just saw that girl again, Prudence. My hands tighten on the wheel, my jaw clenched as I replay the confrontation with my mum moments ago. The slap she gave me, right in front of Elviira. ‘Mum… You slapped me because of that girl?’ My voice had been low, laced with fury. ‘No, Hulio. I slapped you because you’re so stupid. You refuse to see what’s right beneath your nose,’ she snapped, her words slicing deep. ‘Alexa wasn’t responsible for the deaths. For the robbery. Even a fool would have known that.’ Mum fumed. Her words echoed in my head. I’d looked at Elviira then and saw it. The disappointment in her eyes. Disappointment in me. My gaze softened, turned apologetic, but it was too late. I couldn’t fix what I’d said. So I left. Walked out of her room. Out of the hospital. And now I’m driving with a storm inside me. Because the truth i

Alexa (Prudence) My chest burns with pain as I stumble out of the room. The guards posted outside Grandma’s door glance at me, concern flickering in their eyes. I don’t stop. I just walk, blinking past the blur. Then I crash into something hard. Firm hands steady me. “Alexa… what happened?” Helia. His voice, a low whisper, laced with concern, filters through the fog of pain. I look up at him, and a harsh sob wracks through me. He doesn’t wait. He wraps me into his arms. Tight. Solid. Steady. I don’t know how long he holds me. I don’t know when he moves us. But somehow, I end up seated across from him in the hospital cafeteria. My fingers curl around a warm cup of coffee he hands me. The hum of voices fades behind the storm inside me. Helia watches me in silence. He’s dressed casually, for the first time since I’ve known him. A black body Con shirt. Blue jeans. Chiseled. Muscled. Tousled dark hair. Handsome doesn’t even begin to cover it. “I’ve never seen you li

Alexa (Prudence) Noon. I’m reading a novel to Grandma. She hates feeling restrained here. Says she wants to return home. But the doctors insist she wait a little longer. She’s improved greatly since yesterday. Her eyes are brighter, her voice steadier. Still, she’s grumbled through half of my visit. The other half, she’s listened as I told her about my life, school, my new job, which I’ve now left. I called Flirt earlier today. Told them I relocated. They sent me the paperwork. I signed and returned it. The regret clings to me like grime. “Tell me,” Grandma says, breaking my thoughts, “Would you be ready to work with Hills Fusion now?” My eyes snap up. My heart leaps at the thought. Hills Fusion, finally. “After I introduce you, I’ll be giving you a position. So… would you be ready to take it?” She asks, carefully. I frown. Why the caution? “Why do you ask that, Grandma? You know I’ve always dreamed of working as a designer at Hills Fusion. Making dresses for your stunning clie

Pier. Corte, Corsica, France. Wednesday, 15th July. Next day. Morning. “And have you checked the vitals this morning for Mrs. Claude in Room 307?” I ask Nurse Renee, standing beside me. My eyes never leave the clipboard. My tone clipped. “No, Doctor Pier. I wanted to confirm from you if I’m to still administer the routine injection for her… or if I’m to follow up with a new one?” She asks cautiously. I still. Then slowly turn my eyes to her. Voice steel as Ice. “You’ve been an RN in this hospital for how long, and you don’t know what to do with a patient who just had a face reconstruction surgery?” I lower the clipboard and narrow my gaze on her. Hard. The hallway quiets. Everyone avoids us like they’re dodging landmines. “Do I need to send you back to nursing school, Nurse Renee? Or should I just terminate your appointment with the hospital?” My gaze darkens. She stammers. Trembling. “Non… Non… Doctor… I will do it…” she says in a thick French accent, backing away. Then s

Hulio. I cuff her ankles with the strappado. Lock her wrists with the handcuffs. My movements are quiet, methodical. Controlled. Unhurried. I know Richo Kendo. A powerful man. A man who lives and dines on rough sex. Sex in the most unconventional of ways. And all this time, I’d been trying to play nice with Ashley. Treated her like a queen. Only to discover this. All that softness I carried for her, gone. What replaces it is the version of me I buried years ago. The one who once ruled the pleasure houses of Monaco. The one I suffocated when I returned to the States, trying to build a name that mirrored my brother’s. Clean and stable. I shoved the dominant side of me deep underground. For her. Ashley. And now, I have to catch her in another man’s arms? No. No more being the good guy. “I’m gonna fuck you until you lose your legs to the sea of my dangerous passion,” I whisper into her ear, grazing the shell with my teeth. She purrs, letting her head fall to the side. Offering me a

Hulio. Later… Evening. I’m at an NBA game with Jude and Carlyle. It’s the New York Knicks versus the Chicago Bulls tonight, and the Knicks are giving us a good show. The roar of the crowd fills the arena like thunder. “Oh! That’s gonna hurt,” Carlyle winces as the ball smacks one of the players square in the chin. We laugh. I sip my soda. “Dude,” Jude leans over, crunching on some nuts. “I heard there’s a party on Saturday. The Hills are throwing it, maybe to celebrate their grandma’s recovery?” “Nah. Not just the recovery,” I reply absently, eyes still on the game. “They haven’t exactly said what it’s for. But yeah, she survived. That’s worth a party on its own.” The court’s air condition bites through my jacket, but the excitement of the game keeps me warm. I’m in full Knicks gear, hat, jacket. The cold’s got nothing on me. “God, I heard she was rammed from behind. Who does that and why?” Carlyle says, eyebrows drawn. I shrug. My thoughts drift to the same question. Why woul
