LORIAN

The burning sensation was still there. It pulsed faintly in my lower body, right around the stitches that had been bothering me for a while now. I drew in a slow breath, trying to control my expression so Anna—still standing beside the bed wouldn’t notice anything unusual.

“Lorian?” she called carefully. “What are you feeling?”

I immediately shook my head.

“It’s nothing,” I said lightly, as if it truly meant nothing at all. “Probably just a little discomfort. I’ve been sitting too long.”

    STEVENThe atmosphere in the room shifted the moment the doctor left. No one spoke. Lisa stood beside the bed, her face drained of color, one hand covering her mouth as if she were still trying to process what she’d just heard.“Pesticide…?” she murmured faintly. “How could anyone be that cruel…?”I didn’t answer. My gaze was fixed on Emely. She lay there in silence, her face still pale, but her eyes were fully conscious now. And slowly, something began to surface in them—no longer confusion.Fear.“So…” her voice was barely a whisper, “this wasn’t an accident?”Lisa turned to her immediately. “Emely, don’t jump to conclusions like that—”“The doctor already explained it, Mom.”Her voice was weak, but firm enough to stop Lisa in her tracks. Emely stared straight ahead for a few seconds, her fingers unconsciously gripping the blanket.“Then…” her breath caught, “someone actually tried to kill me.”Lisa shook her head quickly, her voice trembling. “No… I don’t believe that… there must b

    STEVENI didn’t waste a second.The moment I stepped out of the hospital parking area, I got into my car and started the engine. The low growl sounded louder than usual—or maybe it was just my restless mind amplifying everything.My hands tightened around the steering wheel as my thoughts circled back to the same thing.That mysterious food delivery.The traffic light ahead turned red. I hit the brakes a little harder than necessary, my breath catching for a moment. My fingers tapped against the wheel—fast, rhythmic, restless.This wasn’t a coincidence. I was sure of it.A perfectly healthy woman doesn’t just collapse after eating something from an unknown sender. And she was the only one who ate it.My jaw clenched. I’d seen patterns like this too many times before and they never ended well.The light turned green. I pressed the gas without hesitation. The car surged forward, cutting through the night streets that were beginning to empty. City lights streaked across the windshield, b

    STEVEN“What?!”I shot to my feet the moment I heard Lisa’s voice on the other end of the call. The panic in her tone wasn’t something anyone could ignore.“Mrs. Lisa, wait—please explain slowly,” I said quickly, trying to keep the tension out of my voice. “What exactly happened?”Her breathing was uneven, almost shaky.“Emely… she suddenly fainted after eating something. We don’t know what it was. And at the ER… she threw up… her condition still isn’t stable…”My heart slammed hard against my chest.“What did she eat?” I asked sharply.“A delivery… a box of food. There was no sender’s name on it.”Silence fell between us for a moment. My jaw tightened without me even realizing it.“Did anyone else eat it?” I asked again, this time quieter—but far more serious.“No. Only Emely.”I closed my eyes for a second, trying to suppress the thought that was starting to form in my head. This didn’t make sense.“Wait,” I said quickly. “Is there any of the food left, Mrs. Lisa?”“There’s still a

    EMELY“Emely?” Lisa’s voice came out sharp with panic.I wanted to answer. I wanted to tell her I was fine. But my body wouldn’t listen anymore. My chest felt like it was being crushed in a vice. My breaths came in shallow gasps. The edges of my vision darkened—and the next second, my body gave out beneath me.“Emely!” Lisa’s voice rose, trembling with fear.Somewhere, faintly, I could still feel her hands on my shoulders. A gentle shake at first—then harder.“Emely, wake up! Emely!”Her voice sounded distant, like it was echoing from far away. My eyelids felt impossibly heavy, refusing to open. Everything was sinking—slowly swallowed by a thick, suffocating darkness that dragged my consciousness under.“Emely! Don’t do this, sweetheart… wake up… please wake up!”The shaking grew more desperate. But I couldn’t respond. Couldn’t move. I couldn’t even open my eyes.“Amira!” Lisa cried out, her voice breaking. “Amira, come here! Quickly!”Footsteps rushed down the hallway.“Oh my God—!”

    EMELY“I’ve already filed for divorce, Mom.”The words slipped out the moment Lisa stepped into the room. I hadn’t even had the chance to ask her to sit. She stopped in her tracks, eyes locking onto mine as if she wasn’t sure she’d heard me right.“You already did? That fast?” she asked.“Yes.” I nodded. “This morning. The documents have been submitted, and the lawyers are already processing everything.”For a few seconds, she said nothing. Then slowly, she walked closer and took a seat by the window.“Finally… I have to admit, I feel a little relieved hearing that,” she murmured. “I hope everything goes smoothly, sweetheart.”“I do too.” My voice was calm. “Besides, I don’t want to delay this any longer. The longer I wait, the more chances Alex has to make a move.”Lisa nodded, her expression turning more serious.“That’s the right decision,” she said. “I don’t want him getting ahead of us either.”I exhaled slowly. For the first time, everything felt real.She studied me for a momen

    ALEXANDERI stared at the dark screen of my phone. It had been days. I’d called Emely over and over again, but damn it, she’d blocked my number. I’d even tried reaching her from other phones, but she never picked up.My jaw tightened. Damn it. In my entire life, I had never felt this frustrated. Footsteps approached not long after.“What’s wrong with you?”Anna’s voice made me look up. She stood in the doorway, brows slightly furrowed as she studied me.I didn’t answer right away. I simply lifted my phone a little, as if that alone explained everything.“Emely?” she guessed.A faint smile tugged at my lips. “She blocked my number, Mom.”Anna looked genuinely shocked. “Blocked you? Are you serious?”“Yeah.” My voice was short. “Not just mine. Every number I’ve tried.”She stepped inside, concern creeping across her face. “Maybe she just needs time, Alex. After everything that’s happened—”“No.”The word cut her off instantly. I stood and walked toward the window, my gaze fixed outside

    EMELYEver since that night, since my eyes witnessed something no wife should ever have to see her husband do with another woman, especially while she’s carrying his child, something inside me went cold. Not shattered, not blown apart. Just frozen.I had stood behind the second-floor door, my body

I stared at the glowing screen on my bedside table—never reaching for it, never moving closer. Just watching from a dist
