Killian’s POV

The siren pressed relentlessly against my skull, a deafening wail that seemed to vibrate through every inch of the ambulance.

Each blast rattled the walls, swallowing every other sound until it became impossible to tell where the noise ended and the panic inside me began.

Under me, the floor jolted and swayed as the vehicle navigated the night traffic, but my focus remained locked on the narrow gurney. Elena lay frighteningly still, her complexion drained of every trace of color.

    Serena’s POVInstead, she leaned back slightly, her brows knitting together as she searched through her memory. Her gaze drifted somewhere over my shoulder, as though she were replaying old conversations one by one. “Not… really,” she said after a long moment, “You weren’t the kind of person who was always sick.”Without meaning to, I let out the breath I’d been holding.Some of the tension eased from my shoulders.“But…”The single word tightened every muscle in my body again.“You did complain about headaches.”I frowned.“Headaches?”She nodded.“Pretty nasty ones, actually.”She reached over to set her coffee on the bedside table before turning back to me.“They’d come out of nowhere. One minute you’d be completely fine, laughing at something or buried in work, and the next you’d have both hands pressed against your temples like somebody was trying to split your skull open from the inside.”She pointed at me with a knowing look.“And don’t even get me started on how unbelievably

    Serena's POV Girl, never give me a heart attack like that again.”Chloe threw her arms around me so tightly the force of it almost knocked the breath from my lungs. Her face disappeared against the side of my neck, her embrace fierce enough to make my ribs protest. For the briefest second, I simply sat there, caught off guard by the gesture. Then instinct took over.I wrapped my arms around her and held her just as tightly, only to realize she was trembling.Not shivering.Actually trembling.In all the time I’d spent as Elena, Chloe had never been a crier. She was the one who laughed first, joked through disasters, fixed her lipstick after every crisis, and somehow convinced everyone else that things would work out. She was sunshine wrapped in expensive perfume and impossible confidence.But now her shoulders shook beneath my hands.She pulled away so suddenly it almost gave me whiplash, immediately dragging both palms across her face before any tears had the chance to ruin her mak

  • Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO   Chapter 71: The woman in the glass

    Serena’s POVI’d convinced myself my dizzy spells were reminders that my existence in Elena’s body was temporary; that no borrowed life could last forever, and sooner or later, these were signs that the body was rejecting the soul that didn’t belong inside it.But what if…What if I’d been wrong all along?What if this body was simply sick?“Sometimes,” I admitted to the doctor, my voice barely audible.Dominic’s hand tightened around mine almost immediately. He leaned forward, concern washing over his face as his brows drew together.“Sometimes?” he repeated, clearly caught off guard. “Elena… you never told me that.” His voice softened, hurt slipping into the edges of it. “Why didn’t you say anything?”I lowered my eyes to the blanket spread across my lap, unable to meet his gaze.“I… I honestly thought it was just stress,” I admitted. “I didn’t think it was serious enough to worry anyone. I figured it would pass.”Dr. Harrison made a few notes on his tablet before looking up again.“

    Serena’s POVDominic stirred.His fingers tightened around mine before anything else moved. Then he lifted his head slowly, blinking against the light as though it took a moment to remember where he was. His eyes were bloodshot, his face creased from sleeping at such an awkward angle, and for one brief second he looked completely disoriented.Then he saw that I was awake.His entire face transformed. The exhaustion seemed to drain from him in an instant, replaced by a raw, naked relief that made his lips tremble.“Elena,” he breathed. He didn't move for a second, as if he was afraid that speaking the name would make me disappear. “You're awake.”“Hi,” I whispered. My voice was hoarse, little more than a rasp.A broken laugh escaped him before he leaned forward, resting his forehead gently against my temple. I felt the warmth of his tears as they brushed against my skin.“Thank God,” he whispered, one trembling hand sliding carefully through my hair. “God…sweetheart, you scared the li

  • Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO   Chapter 69: Avenge me

    Chapter 69Serena’s POVI was walking through a forest that seemed to stretch on forever, yet there were no trees.Only darkness.It surrounded me on every side, and every breath I took felt harder than the last. The air clung to my skin like damp mist, resisting every step I took until it felt as though I was trying to walk through water instead of air.Only then did I realize there was water.It lapped around my bare feet, so cold it stung, the uneven ground shifting beneath me with every cautious step. The silence was unnerving. It wasn’t the ordinary silence of an empty place. It was the kind that swallowed sound before it had the chance to exist. Even my own breathing felt strangely loud.“Is anyone there?” I called out.There was no echo. My words simply dropped into the dark, swallowed whole by the emptiness.I kept walking, the cold water rising slowly to my calves.“Please,” I whispered, my throat tight with mounting panic. “Is anyone there?”No answer.Then, behind me, the w

  • Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO   Chapter 68: The line I can’t cross

    Killian’s POVDominic released his grip on my coat so abruptly that the fabric slipped from his fingers before he was already moving. He crossed the waiting area in hurried strides, Vivian and I close behind as we followed the doctor into the corridor.The doctor glanced down at the clipboard in his hand before lifting his eyes to us.“Are you the family of Elena Reyes?” “I’m her husband,” Dominic barely got the words out before they broke apart. He stepped closer, his hands curling into tight fists at his sides. “How is she? Is she alright? Can I see her?”Some of the doctor’s guarded expression eased into a small, reassuring smile.“She’s stable, Mr. Reyes.”The breath Dominic had been holding left him in a rush.“Her vital signs are stable, and she regained consciousness not long after she arrived. We’ve completed the initial blood work, and at this stage, everything points to physical exhaustion complicated by dehydration and low blood sugar.”He lowered his eyes to the clipboard

    Serena’s POVThe first thing I noticed was the ceiling.White. Smooth. A water stain in the far left corner shaped like nothing in particular. I stared at it for a long time before I understood that I was staring at it, that my eyes were open, that I was somewhere.I turned my head.Machines. Tubes

    Killian’s POVThe gala was still going.That was the part that didn’t make sense. Three hundred people still laughing, still drinking, still moving through a room that felt completely different to me now, like a house after a fire where everything looks the same but nothing is. The music was still

Every detail matters.”“Three mo
