~ Helen's POV ~

Daylight crept across my skin, its gentle warmth coaxing me from the fog of sleep and pulling me back into the reality of a new day.

Shit!

I jolted upright, the soreness between my legs a sharp reminder of last night. My hand instinctively moved to my lower stomach. A tender ache pulsed through me, but I ignored it and swung my feet to the floor.

Sebastian wasn’t in bed.

My heart skipped.

Where is he?

I stood up quickly, the bedsheet falling from my bare skin. The room still carried the scent of us—of sweat, perfume, and everything wild and beautiful that had happened only hours ago. I picked up the seductive nightwear I had worn, crumpled at the foot of the bed, and folded it quickly before slipping into my dress from the day before.

I turned toward the bathroom, needing to feel clean, but also… grounded. Inside, I splashed warm water over my face, brushed my teeth, and tidied myself as best I could. The mirror reflected a flushed version of me, my hair a tousled mess

    ~ Sebastian's POV ~Daylight crept on my skin, waking me up to the harsh reality of the day….. Helen's in the ICU.The thought hit me the very moment my eyes opened, heavy and sharp like a blade pressing against my chest.I kicked out of bed, almost stumbling as my feet hit the floor. My movements were rushed, frantic, as though moving quickly would help me escape the pain I felt inside. I scrambled into the bathroom, splashing water on my face before stepping into the shower. The water rushed down my body, but nothing could wash away the reality that burned in my heart.I stepped out, dripping wet, and grabbed my towel. I dressed quickly, throwing on a casual suit with little care.Everything reminds me of her.I could barely think as I buttoned my shirt. She's not here to take out my suit. Her fragrance is void.I exhaled sharply and grabbed my phone and keys.I dashed out, heading downstairs for breakfast.It's 8:30am already. Time felt like it was rushing past me, taunting me for

    ~ Sebastian’s POV ~“Yes…yes… I did poison her,” Zara admitted.The words struck like thunder.Gasps erupted around the room. The housekeepers recoiled in shock, some covering their mouths, others whispering in disbelief.“Zara?” Lisa's voice came out in a stunned whisper, as if her breath had been knocked out of her.Zara trembled, her soaked figure collapsing further onto the cold floor. “I’m sorry… please, forgive me…” Her voice quivered, barely holding itself together. Her arms wrapped around her body, searching for warmth she didn’t deserve.I stared at her in silence….ice cold. My fists clenched tighter as my mind raced with fury and betrayal.Lisa stepped forward, her expression cracked with confusion and pain. “Why, Zara? Why?” she asked, her voice soft, aching.“I didn’t mean to,” Zara whimpered, her eyes streaming endlessly. “I’m sorry. I truly am.”Tears poured like a river down her cheeks, soaking her shirt just as much as the water had.I’d heard enough.“Call the cops.”

    ~ Sebastian’s POV ~The gardener?What the hell is she doing in the kitchen?Do flowers grow in the kitchen now?Damnit!My jaw clenched tightly as I leaned closer to the screen. My hands balled into fists as the tension in my chest grew unbearable.She tiptoed to the served dishes on the counter, glancing around like a coward, and then pulled out a small bottle.With the most disgustingly calm look on her face, she poured liquid into the plate.Shit!My breathing hitched.My heart pounded against my ribs, fury racing through my bloodstream like a wildfire. My eyes blazed at the screen, burning holes into it.How dare she?How dare she play innocent under this very roof?The door creaked open on the footage. Helen walked in, gentle and unsuspecting.And that witch of a gardener turned, wearing a warm smile like nothing was wrong… like she hadn’t just tried to murder someone.She handed the poisoned plate to my Helen. My Helen.No… no.I couldn’t watch another second.I slammed the spa

    ~ Sebastian’s POV ~The mirror reflects myself. My face, my mess, my broken shelf of a being. I look at the man in the glass and don’t even recognize him.My shirt is stained. With her blood. Thick. Red. Cold. Her blood on me…..stuck to my chest like a reminder that I failed her.My heart bleeds more than my shirt.I don’t move. I don’t blink. I just keep staring. Like if I stare long enough, I’d wake up and realize this is all a dream. A cruel, twisted nightmare.But no.This is real.Helen is laying unconscious in the ICU. Still. Quiet. Lifeless.Her smiles…..gone.Her voice…silent.Her warmth all missing.My heart sinks again, deeper than before.In the twinkle of an eye, my whole world is placed on hold. Everything pauses. The house is still. Time has stopped.My hands tremble as I whisper to myself, to her, to whoever is listening.“Please hang in there, Helen… come back to me,” I say under my breath. But the words feel too small, too empty.I need to breathe. I need to clear my

    ~ Mena’s POV ~The doors flung open to Sebastian.His countenance more stained than his shirt. That bitch’s blood was all over it, ruining it completely.She’s worth nothing compared to how much that shirt costs, and yet, she had her pig blood all over it. Disgusting.“Where’s Mom and Dad?” I asked quickly, noticing they weren’t behind him.“They’re on their way,” Sebastian responded, voice low but firm. Still, something was laced in it… something I couldn’t place.She’s bewitched him, obviously. That’s why he’s walking around with the look of mourning on his face.And if anyone asks, who is he mourning? A pig. A curvy ass pig from the dirtiest slum known.My parents walked in moments later, their faces pale, though not as pale as Sebastian’s.“Thank goodness you’re back,” I said, walking up to them.“You guys need rest from all this…” I began, but stopped as Sebastian shot me a death stare.Not surprised. “Sebastian, go get rest,” my mom said softly.He nodded slightly and took the
