The silence that followed her question felt like the world itself had paused to listen.

What happens now?

Layla didn’t look at Elias when she said it.

Her eyes were still on Ross,cold and unblinking, as if she could burn holes through him with nothing but her gaze. The air in the warehouse felt thicker, heavier, charged with the metallic scent of blood and the raw fear of three broken people chained before her.

    The silence that followed her question felt like the world itself had paused to listen.What happens now?Layla didn’t look at Elias when she said it.Her eyes were still on Ross,cold and unblinking, as if she could burn holes through him with nothing but her gaze. The air in the warehouse felt thicker, heavier, charged with the metallic scent of blood and the raw fear of three broken people chained before her.Elias studied her carefully. There was no trembling anymore. No fresh tears sliding down her cheeks,no hesitation in her voice.Just… stillness.A cold, controlled, terrifying stillness that made even him pause. And he understood instantly.This wasn’t the grief-stricken girl who had collapsed in his arms the night before. This wasn’t the Layla who had screamed and pushed him away in pain.This was something else.“What happens now,” Elias repeated slowly with his vo

  • Seven Minutes with my Ex's Uncle    The truth

    Layla’s eyes shifted slowly to the last man in the room.Ross.He had been silent until now,watching everything unfold with a dark, unreadable expression.“It wasn’t us Layla!.” Liam continued. “It was my father! He’s the one who ordered it! He’s the one who sent those men! Release me and my mom! We had nothing to do with it! He’s the guilty one! He did this because Elias was destroying our company! Please, Layla! Tell Elias to let us go!”Ross Carter, who had been sitting silently in the corner with his hands and feet chained, suddenly looked shocked. His face twisted with disbelief and fury as he heard his own son throwing him under the bus so quickly.“Liam!” Ross barked, his voice hoarse but sharp. “Shut your mouth!”But Liam turned on his father, his eyes wild with fear and self-preservation.“No!” Liam snapped back, his voice shaking. “I’m not taking the blame for this! You think I’m going down for something I didn’t do?. It was you! You ordered those people to kill Layla’s fami

  • Seven Minutes with my Ex's Uncle    Questioning

    Layla suddenly turned to Elias.“Where is Liam?” she asked. Her voice was quiet, but there was a cold edge to it that hadn’t been there before.Elias stared at her for a long moment. He looked at her for a long second—his gaze unreadable, heavy, searching her face like he was trying to measure something deeper than her question.He didn’t take her hand this time. He simply gave a small nod and began walking deeper into the warehouse and Layla followed without hesitation. Marcus fell into step behind them, his blood-stained hands hanging loosely at his sides.The corridor narrowed as the air grew thicker and more oppressive. The stench of blood and fear intensified. They passed several locked metal doors before Marcus stepped forward,unlocked the one at the very end and pushed the heavy door open with a loud creak.They entered a larger, dimly lit room. Layla's eyes adjusted slowly to the dim light—And then she saw them.The first person Layla’s eyes landed on was Mrs. Carter.She sa

  • Seven Minutes with my Ex's Uncle    The Warehouse

    The words hung between them like a promise and a threat at the same time.Layla didn’t ask any more questions. She simply turned her face toward the window again, but something new flickered in her cold eyes.Anticipation.The car continued driving through the city, heading toward the outskirts where the warehouse waited — the place where the men who had destroyed her family were being held.Elias watched her silently. He knew what was coming and he was ready to let her decide how far they would go.The black car glided through the city streets, moving away from the familiar neighborhoods and into the industrial outskirts. The sun had already begun its slow descent, painting the sky in deep oranges and purples that bled into the horizon. Inside the vehicle, silence hung heavy between Layla and Elias.Layla sat by the window, her forehead occasionally resting against the cool glass. The world outside blurred past — abandoned factories, rusted fences, empty lots overgrown with weeds. S

  • Seven Minutes with my Ex's Uncle    Crime scene

    “Come in.”Elias’s voice was calm and low as he answered the knock on the door. He remained seated beside Layla’s hospital bed with one hand still resting protectively near hers.The door opened slowly, and the doctor from earlier entered, holding a clipboard. He gave both of them a polite nod, his expression professional but kind.“Good morning Mr. Thorne,” the doctor greeted.Elias nodded. “Good morning,How are you feeling today, Miss Layla?”Layla didn’t answer immediately. She simply looked at him with tired, shadowed eyes. Elias gently helped her sit up a little straighter against the pillows.The doctor performed a quick check — listening to her heart, checking her blood pressure, shining a small light into her eyes. He asked a few simple questions about dizziness, headaches, and nausea. Layla answered in short, quiet words.After the examination, the doctor pulled up a chair and sat down, facing them both.“Your collapse last night was due to extreme emotional shock and physi

  • Seven Minutes with my Ex's Uncle    Apology

    “Oldie. I’m sorry.” The words slipped out of Layla’s mouth suddenly, raw and heavy, breaking the quiet tension in the hospital ward.Elias paused, the spoon of warm soup hovering near her lips. He looked at her for a long moment, his dark eyes searching her face. There was exhaustion in his gaze, deep guilt, and something softer — love that refused to leave even after she had pushed him away so violently the night before.He didn’t respond to her apology right away. Instead, he gently brought the spoon to her mouth.“Eat first,” he said quietly, his voice low and steady. “You need strength.”Layla hesitated, then opened her mouth and accepted the food. She ate slowly, spoonful after spoonful, while Elias fed her with careful patience. The soup was warm and light, easy on her empty stomach. She finished every bite he offered — the soft bread, the cut fruits, the juice. She ate without speaking with her eyes mostly downcast. The dark cloud that had settled in her heart the night before

    For two seconds—The entire hall went silent.Then it exploded.“What?!”“No way!”“He BOUGHT the school?!”Students turned to each other in disbelief.Teachers looked stunned,even some staff members were whispering.Chloe slowly turned toward Layla.Her eyes wide.“LAYLA.YOU DID NOT TELL ME HE COUL

    Morning sunlight spilled into Layla’s room as her alarm rang loudly beside her bed.She groaned and rolled over, blindly reaching for her phone until the noise finally stopped.For a few seconds she just lay there, staring at the ceiling but then she remembered.School.Layla slowly sat up, stretch

    Layla sat up slowly on her bed while her fingers hovered over the phone. She frowned. Something about the message felt… familiar.She typed slowly.Layla:Who is this?The reply came almost immediately.Unknown:That hurts, Layla.Her fingers froze over the screen.A strange uneasiness crept up her

    Layla turned quickly and saw Elias standing in the door. Her heart jumped when she saw him. He stood in the doorway, one hand resting casually against the frame, but there was nothing casual about the way he was watching her.His expression was calm which meant he had definitely heard something.La
