"I think it might be best if you consider divorcing Elaine."

Richard's eyes widened in disbelief. "What? Divorce? Mom, how can you say that? Elaine is my wife.”

Mary sighed, taking a seat beside him. "I know, Richard. I understand that she is your wife but she has cancer. it's a serious matter. It's going to be a long and challenging road for both of you.

    Cassandra, a beautiful woman with long brown hair and black eyes wearing a red dress stood in the front of the Olive mansion. Her heart fluttering with anticipation to see her dear friend as she knocked on the door. It had been months since they last met, and the weight of their separation had only grown heavier with time. Elaine had always been a pillar of strength and unwavering optimism, but Cassandra couldn't shake off a nagging feeling that something was amiss. Moments later, the door swung open, revealing Elaine's tired but still radiant face. A flicker of surprise crossed her features before giving way to an exuberant smile. "Cassandra!

    Elaine sat in front of the mirror watching her teary blue eyes, her long black hair shining effortlessly from the sunlight, her beautiful face was turning into something hideous because she wanted to hide her tears. She held her ears and raised her head to push back the tears, maybe not seeing her face would probably not remind her of how miserable she was so she sat nervously on the edge of the sofa, her palms moist with perspiration. Ever since she got the news, she has been experiencing fatigue, accompanied by unexplained bouts of dizziness and sharp pains in her abdomen but that would be due to her starvation in the process. The worry gnawed at her insides, making it difficult to focus on anything else. She knew she couldn't keep it to herself any longer; she needed to share her concerns with her husband, Richard. Richard, a hardworking man with a demanding career, had been engrossed in his work lately. The mounting pressure and constant deadlines had consumed most of his

    In the city of Greece, a lovely mansion with a beautiful garden. The first rays of sunlight streamed through the curtains, gently illuminating the room where Elaine lay in bed, her weary eyes staring at the empty space beside her. It had become a familiar sight—a husband who was physically present but emotionally absent. Richard, the love of her life and her husband had become a mere stranger in their marriage. As Elaine mustered the strength to sit up, she glanced at Richard, hoping for a spark of recognition or a word of comfort. But his eyes remained fixed on the newspaper in front of him, his silence was a constant reminder of their growing apart marriage. She stared at her husband still waiting for his recognition but it seemed as if he was never going to acknowledge her presence or the fact that she had woken up. With a heavy sigh, Elaine mustered the courage to break the silence. "Richard" she spoke softly, her voice laced with a mix of hope and desperation. "I ne

    Arnold’s POVWe pulled up to an old warehouse on the far side of the ridge, the kind of place no one paid attention to. Rusted metal walls, broken windows, iron doors bolted shut. My gut twisted; this was it. I could smell her scent, it was Faint, but there.I jumped out first, Zach came around the other side, eyes sharp, already sniffing the air.“Zach,” I barked, “Scoop around the premises. I want no holes, no rats running. If there’s a back door, you close it.”He nodded once, no hesitation. “Got it.”The rest of my men followed me, heavy weapons slung, No one joked, no one smiled. They knew this wasn’t about a fight. This was about her.I ran my hand along the cold iron of the entrance door. It was reinforced and bolted, meant to keep people out or in.“Plant them,” I ordered.Two of my men crouched fast, fixing small explosive charges to the hinges and lock. I paced a step back, my pulse thundering in my ears.The last time I saw Alora, she was smiling at me, soft, shy, holding m

    Alora’s POVMy body felt heavy, my arms stiff like they were chained down. My throat was dry, and my head spun like the world was tilting. I blinked, my lashes sticky from tears, and then I saw him.He was sitting right in front of me, like he had been waiting for me to wake. His face too calm, too relaxed, a smirk tugging at his lips like he was enjoying my suffering. In his hands were small white pills. He rolled them between his fingers, like toys, he had all the time in the world.“You’re awake,” he said smoothly. “Perfect timing.”I shifted against the chair, the rope digging into my wrists. “What… what do you want?” My voice cracked.Tamlin’s eyes gleamed. He leaned forward and grabbed my chin, fingers rough on my skin. “Open your mouth.”“No.” I shook my head fast, squeezing my lips together.He laughed, not angry, just… amused. “Don’t be difficult, Alora. You know I always get what I want.”I clenched harder, but his hand slapped across my face so quick and sharp that I cried
