Alessandra's POV

“Then I heard Dimitri died in a fire… after he was kidnapped. That’s when I knew we had to run,” Mom continued even though she was Shaking ..... while It felt like my life was getting pieced together

“That night, I escaped and came to your room, I knew… I knew you and Alex would be sleeping together in your room. You always did on Wednesdays.”

She looked away, her hands were still trembling.

“But on my way, more guards were coming. I knew we couldn't run away but I still had to see you especially. I needed to tell you something, even if it was the last time you ever saw me.”

Her eyes met mine, brimming with guilt and a fierce kind of love.

“I had to tell you…..not to let your father see how smart you are. Or how brave. You had to hide it. That was the only way to survive , the only way you'd never be me .”

I felt my chest tighten. Tears spilled down my cheeks before I could stop them.

“Repress. Obey. Survive,” I whispered, my voice breaking.

She nodded slo

    Killian's POV Present Day."What did you just say?"My voice came out lower than I meant. I wasn’t even sure I’d heard her right."I didn’t stutter, did I? Get off me."She shoved at my chest, and I let her get up. I didn’t move at first. My mind was still spinning, trying to make sense of it....what she said, the way she said it, the way it burned going in like a brand I couldn’t rip off.She climbed out of the car, hands shaking as she grabbed her sweatpants and pulled them on, back turned to me like she couldn’t bear to look at me right now.I tucked myself back in, got my breathing under control, and followed her outside. The air hit me hard, sharp against my skin.She stood there with her arms crossed, staring out at nothing."What’s going on?" I asked, keeping my voice calm even though every nerve in me was already screaming."Nothing is going on," she said. Her tone was flat. Distant. "I’m just done. I’m allowed to be done."Done.It echoed in my chest like a bullet ricocheti

    Alessandra's POV "You're insane. And no, we are not accepting your deal," Mum said, still standing in front of me, shielding me like she always had. But her words hit me in a way I knew she didn’t expect.Fourteen years.Fourteen years she’s been locked in here like a ghost. I could see it now how pale her skin looked, how thin, how withdrawn. There’s no way she can keep living like this. I can’t let her.Mum kept talking, trying to reason with him, but he wasn’t listening. His eyes were locked on me. Because he knew. He knew I’d do anything for the people I love. I’d give my life for them. I’d burn everything down if it meant saving one of them."You have a deal," I said, cutting her off.She turned to me, her voice barely a whisper. "What?"I met her eyes, holding her face gently between my hands like I used to when I was little and bought something with her ATM card behind her back "You’ve been here for fourteen years. Your skin is pale. You’ve hardly seen people. I don’t even th

  • Ruin Me: Falling for My Best Friend’s Fiancée   Hundred and Six- The journey of Isabella..

    Alessandra's POV We stayed wrapped in each other’s arms for what felt like forever. I didn’t want to let go. I was scared that if I moved, she’d disappear We ended up sitting on the floor, our legs tangled, her arms around me like they used to be. My head rested on her chest and I listened to her heartbeat It was real. She was real. Her fingers stroked through my hair slowly, like she was trying to calm both of us. Then she asked again, her voice soft. “What are you doing here, princess?” I pulled back. Not completely, just enough to see her face. I couldn’t believe she was the one asking that. “You’re asking me?” I said, my voice cracking. “I should be asking you. You’ve been dead, Mum. For fourteen years. Fourteen. What is this? How are you even here?” Her eyes filled again, glassy and heavy with unshed tears. They kept shifting hazel, gold, green like the light in them couldn’t decide what to settle on. She took a deep breath, then stood slowly, brushing the dus

  • Ruin Me: Falling for My Best Friend’s Fiancée   Hundred and Five

    Alessandra's POV I remember the day Dad told us about Mom. Alex and I have been visiting her three times a week, like always. She wasn’t really living at home anymore, not fully. She had checked out mentally long before her body ever gave up too but we still went. Sat with her. Talked even when she didn’t answer. Then for a full week, we didn’t go to see her. No explanation. No call from Dad. Just silence. Alex and I sat at the kitchen table that Sunday morning, both of us unsure how to bring it up. Finally, I asked. “Why didn’t we visit Mom this week?” He didn’t even look up from his papers. Just flipped through one of his folders, like it was any other day. “Your mother died last week. That’s why you haven’t gone visiting,” he said, flipping through his folders like he was talking about a canceled appointment. Alex and I looked at each other, confused, waiting for him to say more. He didn’t. “So.....we’re never going to see her again?” I asked. He finally looke

  • Ruin Me: Falling for My Best Friend’s Fiancée   Hundred and four

    Alessandra's POV The scene in front of me wasn’t changing. No matter how many times I blinked, no matter how hard I prayed, it wouldn’t disappear. My vision was blurry with tears, but I still saw it—burned into my mind like a brand I could never scrape off. My dad… my father…..he wasn’t stopping. A choked sob tore out of me as bile rose to my throat. I bolted from the study, slamming into the door frame in my hurry. My legs moved on their own, fast steps turning into a stumbling run down the hallway. The marble floor blurred under my feet as my body trembled with horror. I didn’t care where I was going. I just needed to leave. To get away from what I saw. I didn’t see the stairs until it was too late. My foot slipped, my knee gave way, and the world twisted sideways. I fell hard, pain slicing up my arm and back. But that pain was nothing compared to the burning image seared into my mind. I tasted blood, mixed with vomit, rising up my throat as I clutched the cold marble. I
