Tastes Like Damn Chocolate Chapter 158
CHAPTER 158 7:34 AM Tiana woke to voices, Nikolai's, rough but gaining strength, and Sandy's, bright with relief and joy. "…can't believe you're actually awake," Sandy was saying. "Do you have any idea how terrifying it was watching you code? When your heart stopped…" "My heart stopped?" Nikolai interrupted, sounding alarmed. "Pulmonary embolism on day one," Sandy explained. "Blood clot in your lung. They had to shock you back. It was…" Her voice broke. "It was the worst moment of my life, Nik. I thought I'd lost you." Tiana sat up slowly, her neck protesting from the awkward sleeping position. Both siblings looked over at her movement. "You're awake," Sandy said, smiling. "Good timing. I brought coffee and actual food from the hospital cafeteria, so don't get too excited, but it's better than whatever you've been surviving on." "What time is it?" Tiana asked, disoriented. "Almost eight. I texted you that I was coming, but you didn't answer, so I figured you were either aslee

CHAPTER 157 Day Three - 2:47 AM The ICU was quiet at this hour, the overnight shift moving through their rounds with practiced efficiency. Tiana had finally surrendered to exhaustion around midnight, dozing fitfully in the reclining chair someone had brought to Nikolai's bedside. The nurses had stopped trying to make her leave. She'd been there for seventy-two hours straight, only leaving for brief bathroom breaks and the mandatory gaps when medical procedures required privacy. Sandy had gone home to shower and check on Pascal, promising to return by morning. Ryan had stopped by twice a day, bringing food Tiana barely touched and offering quiet support that hurt more than it helped because she could see the resignation building behind his eyes. But right now, at nearly 3 AM, Tiana was alone with her unconscious husband and the sound of machines keeping him alive. Dr. Patel had reduced the sedation eighteen hours ago. "We should start seeing signs of consciousness within twenty-f

CHAPTER 156 Dawn broke over Velmore General Hospital illuminating the exhausted occupants within. Tiana had refused to leave despite the nursing staff's gentle insistence that she needed rest, that her own injuries required care, that staying in a hospital waiting room indefinitely wasn't good for her. She'd simply wheeled herself into a corner, positioned her casted leg on a second chair someone had brought, and declared she wasn't going anywhere until Nikolai woke up. Pascal had finally been persuaded to go home with Maryann, who'd arrived at dawn with fresh clothes for everyone and breakfast nobody had the appetite to eat. He'd clung to Tiana for a full ten minutes before she'd convinced him that Daddy needed her to stay here, to be close by when he woke up, and Pascal could help best by being a good boy at home. "I'll come see you later," Tiana had promised, kissing his forehead. "And I'll call if anything changes with Daddy, okay?" Pascal had nodded bravely and left, looking

CHAPTER 155 The surgical room was bright, cold, and strangely quiet. Sandy sat in one corner, still wearing her blood-stained clothes, staring at the wall with unfocused eyes. She'd scrubbed her hands raw in the bathroom, but traces of Nikolai's blood still darkened the creases of her palms, under her fingernails, impossible to completely erase. Tiana had positioned her wheelchair near the window that looked out over the parking lot, Pascal curled in her lap despite being far too big for it. He'd fallen into an exhausted sleep, his face pressed against her shoulder, one small hand fisting in her shirt like he was afraid she'd disappear if he let go. Ryan had gone to get coffee. Neither Tiana nor Sandy wanted any, but he needed something to do, some task to keep his hands busy and his mind from circling around thoughts he didn't want to examine too closely. The surgery had been going for two hours and seventeen minutes. No updates. No news. Just the endless waiting. "I can't lose

CHAPTER 154 The sirens grew louder, splitting the night with their urgent wail. Red and blue lights strobed through the Tudor house's leaded glass windows, painting the walls in emergency colors that made the blood on the floor look even more vivid, even more real. Sandy kept pressure on Nikolai's chest wound, her hands slick with her brother's blood, her voice a continuous stream of desperate encouragement. "Stay with me, Nik. You hear me? Stay awake. Help is coming. Just stay awake." Nikolai's eyes had drifted closed, his breathing shallow and rattling in a way that made Tiana's stomach clench with fear. His face had gone gray-white, lips tinged blue, and the blood kept coming despite Sandy's best efforts to stanch it. "Nikolai!" Tiana's voice cracked. She'd maneuvered her wheelchair as close as she could, one hand reaching out to touch his face, his hair, anything to maintain contact. "Don't you dare leave. Don't you dare die on me now. Not after…not after everything." Ryan st
Tastes Like Damn Chocolate Chapter 153
CHAPTER 153 Nikolai drove to the one place he needed to be. 847 Willowbrook Lane. He knew she didn't want to see him. She had made that abundantly clear earlier with her anger and Ryan's protective interference. But he had to try one more time. Had to make her understand what had happened, why he'd failed her, how everything was different now. Eva was in custody. Indy was exposed. The lies were finally over. Maybe, just maybe, there was a chance to rebuild what he'd destroyed. Behind him, far enough back to avoid immediate detection but close enough to track his movements, another car followed through the darkness. Indy sat behind the wheel, mascara streaked down her face, her hands trembling on the steering wheel but her eyes fixed with desperate determination on Nikolai's taillights. She'd watched him leave the penthouse without a backward glance. Had seen the finality in his posture, the absolute dismissal in his voice. And she'd known with terrible certainty where he was go

Chapter 40Tiana burst out laughing.It wasn't a pleasant sound. It was incredulous, almost hysterical, the kind of laugh that came from shock and disbelief rather than humor.Nikolai maintained his composure, standing there with his hands in his pockets, watching her as she laughed like she'd just

Chapter 46 Gerald didn't pick up the call. It went straight to voicemail, his professional greeting playing before the beep. Tiana hung up without leaving a message. What was she supposed to say anyway? "Help, I'm drowning and I don't know how to save myself"? She stared at her phone for a long m

Chapter 45 It was Nikolai. Of course it was Nikolai. He stood near the windows, the afternoon light casting sharp shadows across his face. His hands were in his pockets, his posture casual, but there was tension in his shoulders, the kind of tension that meant he was barely holding himself toget

Chapter 39 Pascal's eyes grew heavier with each word of the bedtime story Tiana read to him. His grip on his stuffed toy loosened, his breathing slowed, and within minutes, he was fast asleep. Tiana sat there for a moment, watching him in the soft glow of his nightlight. His face was so peaceful,
