Chapter 52: ||Natalia's POV||

That night, it was pure torture.

I couldn't sleep. I kept my body so stiff, I prayed the morning came sooner and when it did, I was the first to jump out of bed.

I locked myself in the bathroom for so long, it was only when I heard the bed creak that I slipped on fresh clothes and stepped out.

"Good morning!" I chirped pretending to be fine.

Wesley's brows furrowed at the sound of my voice but he also smiled. "Good morning, beautiful..." He replied before going into the bathroom.

Once the door closed behind him, I fanned myself with encouragement. I didn't pass out nor stare at him for too long.

"That was a good thing, right?" I mumbled to myself.

And then an idea suddenly clicked. If pretending to be fine was going to make this whole awkward situation easier, then I could as well go on with the flow.

"Yes!" I exclaimed. The plan was perfect.

When Wesley stepped out, I wasn't trying to avoid him. I was waiting for him.

"So, I was thinking... Why don't we

    CHAPTER 106: ||ROBERT’S POV||They were bluffing. All of them. They couldn't send me to prison for my crimes. They had no proof.They had nothing. Just empty intimidations.As soon as the session was over, I sat back with a smug smile, watching the darkened windows. I knew there were people on the other side, watching me.And I was prepared to give them a good show. Besides, it wasn't everyday they had the chance to stare into the face of a god like me.So despite the soreness on my wrists, thanks to their silly cuffs, I relaxed into the chair and waited.I knew how things like this worked. They were keeping me here so I could sweat or act out of panic. The poor fools.They were getting nothing. Because I was determined to remain calm until they had no choice but to either get me the immunity I had requested or close the damned case.I couldn't even tell how much time had passed when suddenly the door buzzed and opened. Agent Sloan walked in.I smiled.“I was hoping to get some more q

    CHAPTER 105: NATALIA’S POVI stood in the middle of my room frozen with multiple emotions as I continued processing Theresa’s behaviour.Even despite my refusal, she had still brought the tea and now I didn't know what to make of it.My chest was tight and my skin was burning as I turned my eyes to the tea cup still untouched on the table.If the situation was reversed, and I was the one offering tea to someone and they were refusing, I would not get mad. Neither would I force them.I would just let it go. But Theresa wasn't letting it go.It was almost like there was more going on that I wasn't aware of because… why?Everything just felt like a metaphor. On one hand, I was trying to be open and understanding. But on the other hand, nothing made sense.Nothing was right… especially not with Theresa.Her attitude was strange. Her smile had darkness in them… her words were laced with sweetness that felt forced…I couldn't even tell if all of this was just in my head but I could see it.

    CHAPTER 104: LILA’S POVI hated hospitals. Everything about the place made me uneasy and the fact that Wesley was going to spend another night was getting on my nerves.But that wasn't even the problem in the spotlight. We still had Theresa to deal with.And the fear that she could be the villain that Wesly and I had been chasing all these years made my skin crawl.To think she had access to Natalia and her pregnancy, made dread cling to my heart.What if she hurt her?I asked myself over and over as I walked into the hospital parking lot.I knew that we were working with a lot of assumptions but there were two lives at stake here.And even though I had warned Natalia about Theresa already, everything inside me still screamed at me to run back upstairs to do it again.My instincts wanted me to physically stop her from taking anything from that woman if I had to.But Natalia wasn’t someone you could corner. She was smart and stubborn all at once. And most times her emotions got the bes

    Chapter 103: || NATALIA’S POV ||Lila’s warning formed a deep root of chill in my chest that made everywhere colder than it should have been.I could not stop the echoes as it drummed in my head, repeating that one statement. ‘Don’t take anything from her, she poisoned Wesley…’I found it hard to believe, but I couldn’t silence it.My heart raced with the possibility. And all I wanted to do was confront her… yet for the first time in my life, I gave my impulsive thoughts a break.If I was going to make my own findings on the accusations, I had to be careful.With the echoes of Lila’s voice still in my head, I went to Wesley’s hospital room.As I stepped in, I paused and observed the ward.The steady beeping of the machines was still there, but everything else felt wrong— like there was an additional thing I wasn’t picking up on…My eyes narrowed and then I glanced toward the bed. That was when I saw him. Wesley.He was awake.My heart skipped in excitement and it took every nerve endi

    Chapter 102: || NATALIA’S POV ||I sat curled on the stiff visitor’s couch with my arms folded tightly across my belly, refusing to meet my father’s eyes. The blanket draped around me did nothing to warm the cold war brewing in the air nor within my own organs.“I still don’t understand why you’re insisting on staying here,” my father muttered for the fifth time. His voice was laced with disapproval as he looked around the quiet hospital cafeteria.“Dad, it’s because I want to,” I replied, softer than I intended. “I just… I need to be sure he’s okay.”Father sighed and took my hands. “Natalia,” he began, his tone heavy with restraint, “this man lied to you. Wesley manipulated you. He made a fool of your trust and turned your pregnancy into some twisted chess game. Why are you wasting your tears and time on someone like that?”I bit my bottom lip hard. His words hurt and it was mostly because I had said them to myself in harsher ways in the last couple of hours.He turned back to me an

    Chapter 101: || WESLEY’S POV ||A faint beeping echoed in the distance, slowly bringing the world back to me…My lungs felt tight, like I was surfacing from under water. And then my eyes fluttered open.The beeping sound grew more annoying, its constant noise ringing in my head.I turned my squinted eyes towards the machine, wishing it could disappear, but then I noticed the strange setting…The white ceiling. The machines and then the connected lines to my veins…I was in a fucking hospital!My body tried to jerk upright but pain instantly shot through every part of me like I had been run over by a fucking train.“Ouch!” I groaned, closing my eyes in pain.“Wes…” Lila gasped somewhere around me.My eyes snapped open at once and they met her worried ones.“Oh Wes… thank God you are fine.” Her hands went to her chest and she smiled. “I was so worried…”Her face looked pale from exhaustion and that made my heart skip with panic. How long was I hospitalized?“What happened?” I tried to s
