Third persons Pov

Maya sat on the cold tiled floor, hugging her weak knees to her chest. The room felt smaller now, more cold and dim. It was scary so she closed her eyes trying to calm her racing heart but it didn't work. Behind her eyes, Liz haunted her, her hands stretched forward to choke Maya.

She felt the tears stain her cheek. She wanted to escape badly. But there was no way. Elijah knew what he was doing when he locked her up in there. Everywhere was high security locked.

He must have planned this from the very beginning, she thought.

She leaned her head against the wall, banging it slowly on the wall in frustration.

“You're such a fool, Maya” she muttered to herself. “How did you not see the red signs. How could you believe he actually cared for you, damn”

She stared at Liz unconscious form on the bed. Was she really hallucinating when she heard that sound or was it real? Liz was like a mother to her. She was like a mother to almost everyone. Seeing her so helpless in that

    Elijah's pov“Elijah, there's something you really need to see.” I hear Vikram speak into the phone, his voice tinged with a slight annoyance. My jaw twitch, wondering what next he had found about Maya.Vikram is my personal investigator who had showed me that Maya was the woman who had killed my mother three years ago, and ran away like nothing happened.I didn't just take his words for it. Her innocent face, they didn't look like someone's that would pull a trigger in someone's head, much less someone they had worked for, for over five years.And so I ordered Vikram to redo his investigation again and again, and to find more proof. And at the end of the day, all evidence pointed to her. She didn't just kill my mother, Maya stole her assets, ran away, thinking no one was watching her.I vowed to myself to make her pay for everything she did to my mum. “Come to the office,” I responded back into the phone, my voice gruff around its edges.Lizzy Volkov, was my biological mother, and t

    "Why do you keep staring at me that way? You think I'll confess to a crime I didn't commit if you stare hard enough?” I asked coldly, my body launched lazily on the sofa, eyes distant. My voice feels too sore like I haven't talked for the part three months, and that's not a complete exaggeration. I've been literally mute for the past two weeks since Elijah brought me back home from the hospital.I could feel my life slipping away day by day, there was no essence for living anymore, and I hated how a night of pasion made me into this. I should have known better
trusting a man.Elijah stares at me, his expression unreadable. Gray eyes like steel with an intensity locked on me, too attentive, like he was trying to read what was running through my head. “You haven't touched your food.” He pushed the plate of pasta to me, but I turn my head away from it.“Talk to me, Maya.”That one word from his lips feels like a slap. It used to send thrills down my back, but now it only opened old wound

    Light sears into my eyes, a jagged blade cutting through the dark. I’m nowhere, just a void, my body is a lead weight, and my limbs like stone. A beep stabs the silence, rhythmic, close, dragging me up from nothing. Something pinches my arm, sharp, tugging. My throat’s is suddenly ash, my head a fog of half-formed shadows. Where am I?, I ask myself.The air’s wrong—sharp, cold, like metal and bleach. A hum buzzes, low, under the beep, and I blink, slow, the world a smear of white and gray.“Mrs. Tyler?” A voice, brisk, female, slices through. “Can you hear me?” I try to focus, but my eyes are heavy, the shape of her blurring—a woman, white coat, clipboard clicking. My name—Tyler—lands like a stone, familiar but distant, like it’s someone else’s. I can’t speak, my tongue a dead thing, so I just stare, my chest tight with something I can’t name.Water
“You’re in the hospital,” she says, nurse, her face sharpening, too bright for this cold place. “You’ve been in coma, a few days. You’re

    Chapter 18Rain splattered Elijah’s truck, his bare chest heaving, sweat stinging his eyes. His phone pinged, a new text: Maya’s off life support. Your signature. Done. No fucking way he’d signed that. The call’s venom—“You didn’t deserve her”—looped, a taunt he couldn’t completely shake. Maya, his wife, had to be alive. He gunned the engine, city lights blurring past him.Her face clawed at him—those beautiful hazel eyes, wild when he’d locked her in with his mother’s comatose body, monitors droning out loud noises. Lizzy’s aide, Maya had sworn she’d only heard the shot, bolted in panic. Elijah, overseas then, didn’t buy it. Her tears screamed she was guilty. He’d married her to chain her, make her bleed for her sins. When she’d doubled over, pregnant with his kid, begging for help, he’d stood there, hating her, punishing her Too late to the hospital. Mother or child, they’d requested. He’d chosen Maya—not mercy, but justice. She hadn’t paid enough.fie her crimes.Ahead, red and blue

    The VIP room was a shithole- it looked liked it had been used too many times by scumbags and dirty whores. But it would be enough for this night. He just needed to let off some steam.The door slammed shut as he pushed Tasha _or whatever she had called her name to be, against the door. A moan escaped from her lip as his lips found her sensitive bud underneath her flimsy clothing.“F*ck
please don't stop,” she moaned out. Trisha grabbed his head, smashing her lips against his, as his hands found the waist band of her panties. Already soaked with her juices.She clawed at his shirt, shredding it off him like a starving animal hungry for its prey. Her dress was a scrap of cheap red silk, unlike his expensive own. It was too tight, so he yanked it up, baring her half naked body to him. His hands grabbed her tits, pressing her harder to the door. “You want this, don't you?” He growled as his hands continued to rub on her nipples, eliciting a soft moan from her. She nodded, unable to spit

    Maya's POVDarkness. The world around me was filled with thick darkness. It was heavy
the kind that would sink deep into your bones and then snatch your soul.Just as I was beginning to feel dizzy, a bright light shined brightly, almost blinding me.I didn't remember how I got there, but I knew immediately, I wanted to leave.Not until I saw a familiar face.“Mum,” I called out. My mum smiled at me as she drew near.“Maya, you're finally here,” she said immediately she came closer, engulfing me into a warm hug. Then I released myself from her embrace.“Where's this, mum? Why-why are you here
you're dead.” As soon as the words left my mouth, reality struck me hard in the face.If my mum was here with me, it only meant one thing.I am not a living being anymore.“Maya, you shouldn't be here. Go back home,” my mum said as she looked at me softly. Home?I realized that as I stood in this space, there was no pain, no betrayal
no Elijah.I wanted to stay here, in this place where there wa
