Serving My Husband His Own Medicine 54: The Ghost In The Machine
Hannah’s POVThe smartphone on the hospital tray felt like a live wire. It didn't ring...I had silenced it an hour ago...but the screen kept lighting up, a persistent, aggressive blue that cut through the quiet of the suite. I sat in my wheelchair, my heavy casted leg resting on the elevated pad, and stared at the notification.Missed Call: Grace (14).New Voicemail (1).I didn't want to hear it. I knew exactly what a cornered animal sounded like. For three years, I had been the one trapped in the corner while Grace and Daniel poked at me with red-hot irons, laughing about my "failures" and my "emptiness." Now, the roles hadn't just flipped; the entire stage had been burned to the ground."You’re staring at it again," Alexander said.His voice was stronger than it had been that morning. He was sitting up, the pillows propped behind his broad shoulders. He looked like a king even in a hospital gown, his dark hair messy but his eyes sharp as flint. He was watching me with an intensity t
Serving My Husband His Own Medicine 53: The Queen of Nothing
Grace’s POVThe peeling white paint on the front door of my father’s house felt rough against my palm. I banged my fist against the wood again, the sound hollow and cheap compared to the heavy thud of the oak doors I’d grown used to in the Mercer-designed suburbs. Behind me, Samuel was having a full-blown meltdown. He was three years old and didn't care about legal drama; he just knew his favorite toy was back at the house that was currently crawling with men in tactical vests."Mommy! I want my truck! I want to go home!" Samuel screamed. He started kicking the plastic tray of his stroller, the rhythmic thwack-thwack-thwack vibrating through my skull."Samuel, please! Stop it!" I yelled, my voice cracking.I looked like a disaster. My silk dress... the one I’d bought with Daniel’s "bonus" money last month... was stained with a smudge of chocolate milk, and the humidity was turning my expensive blowout into a frizzy mess. My heels were sinking into the overgrown grass of the front yard
Serving My Husband His Own Medicine 52: After The Storm
Hannah’s POVThe door clicked shut, and for a second, the air in the room felt like it finally belonged to us again. My hands were still shaking, my fingers digging into the hard plastic armrests of my wheelchair. My left leg, trapped in that heavy, white block of a cast, felt like a lead pipe resting on the metal footrest. The pain was there, a steady, rhythmic pulsing behind my kneecap, but I ignored it. I kept my eyes on Alexander.He looked like he had used every single drop of energy he had left to banish his mother. His head fell back against the pillow, his chest heaving under the thin hospital gown. The monitors next to the bed sped up, a rapid beep-beep-beep that made my own heart race."Alex," I breathed, moving the joystick of my wheelchair. The small motor gave a low whine as I rolled closer, pressing the side of my chair against the metal rail of his bed. I reached out, my fingers trembling as I touched his hand. "Alex, look at me. Breathe. Just breathe."He turned his he
Serving My Husband His Own Medicine 51: The Lioness at the Gate
Hannah’s POVThe VIP recovery suite was quiet, save for the soft, rhythmic hiss of the oxygen concentrator. I hadn't showered in two days. I was still wearing a borrowed hospital scrub top over my leggings, and my hair was pulled into a messy knot that felt like a weight on my head. I looked exhausted, but as I sat in the chair pulled tight against Alexander’s bed, my hand locked in his, I felt more powerful than I ever had in a designer suit.Alexander was drifting in a light sleep, his breathing deep and even. His grip on my fingers hadn't loosened once, even in his dreams. It was as if his subconscious was terrified that if he let go, the fog would swallow me again.The heavy door to the suite didn't just open; it swung back with a sharp, entitled 'thud' that made me bolt upright.Eleanor Mercer walked in first. She looked like she was ready for a gala, dressed in a sharp, cream-colored blazer and pearls that caught the harsh hospital light. Behind her stood Vivienne, looking every
Serving My Husband His Own Medicine 50: The Rat in the Cage
Daniel’s POVThe walls of the holding cell were a sickly, peeling grey. They didn't smell like the expensive cedarwood and imported marble of my home; they smelled like industrial bleach and the sour sweat of men who had actually committed crimes.I sat on the edge of the thin, plastic-covered cot, my head in my hands. My wrists still burned where the zip-ties had dug into my skin, a constant, stinging reminder of the way those officers had shoved me into the back of a cruiser in front of my own neighbors."This is a mistake," I whispered to the empty room. My voice sounded thin, cracking like dry parchment. "It’s a misunderstanding. A corporate dispute."But the recording kept playing in my head. My own voice, sounding arrogant and thick with scotch, bragging about the five million. The Whitmore credentials. I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to drown it out. How had she done it? How had that "broken" girl, the woman I had spent three years meticulously dismantling, managed to plant a b

Hannah’s POVThe hospital hallway was a blur of fluorescent lights and the sharp, chemical smell of antiseptic that always made my stomach turn. They wouldn't let me stay in the room. Two nurses had gently but firmly wheeled me toward a small waiting area while they rushed Alexander behind a set of double doors.I sat in that metal chair, my hands shaking so much I had to tuck them under my thighs to make them stop. I was still wearing that damp, ruined gown. I still had the grime of Daniel’s house on my skin. But for the first time in three years, the air didn't feel like it was trying to choke me."Hannah?"I looked up. Arthur Mercer was standing there. The man who ruled an empire looked like he had aged ten years in a single night. His tie was loose, his hair was messy, and his eyes were red. He didn't look at my wheelchair with pity. He looked at me like I was the only thing holding his world together."He’s stable," Arthur said, his voice thick. He sat down in the plastic chair n

Hannah's POV.The floor was cold. It wasn't just cold; it was freezing, the kind of chill that soaked through my thin gown and bit into my skin. I lay there for a long minute, my face pressed against the hardwood, listening to the silence of the house. Upstairs, the floorboards groaned once...Danie

Hannah's POV"I didn't ask for a second opinion, Analyst Vance. I asked for the physical files."My voice didn't shake. I stood at the edge of the mezzanine, looking down at the open-plan office of Mercer Global. The usual morning noise...the clicking of keyboards, the low chatter of the sales team

Daniel's POV. I noticed it the moment I woke up. The bed was cold.That shouldn't have mattered, but it did. Hannah never woke up before me. For three years, she waited for me to move first, like the house itself needed my permission to breathe.I checked the bathroom. Empty. No damp towel on the

Hannah's POV. I didn't look up when the door hit the wall.I knew that sound. It was the sound of a man who thought he owned the air I breathed. For three years, that specific bang of a door meant I had ten seconds to fix my face, stand up, and ask Daniel how his day was before he found something
