2026-03-10 02:06:47“Why is she acting scary?” Ivan tried to sound calm but his voice cracked.
Father looked at me without blinking.
“If you think you can refuse then, prepare to leave this family with the only clothes on your back and I’ll also ask the hospital to stop treating Anna’s mother.”
Since her father died by suicide, Anna's mother hadn't left the hospital. The house felt emptier and quieter than before. Anna sat beside her mother's bed, holding her hand as if she were afraid to let go.
Anna was my best friend. She was the only one who understood the thing I couldn't even say out loud.
Whenever she looked at me with that tired and hopeful smile, I remembered the promise I had made to stand by her and do everything I could so she could see her mom walk out of the hospital healthy again.
“Fine. I'll do it,” I whispered. I swallowed my next word, and turned to walk down the hallway until I slammed the door behind me. The sound shook the frame.
My legs gave in and I fell on the bed.
I dragged my legs to my chest and wrapped my arms around them. My body folded in half as my forehead pressed against my knees.
Inhale,
Exhale.
A loud knock banged on the door.
I stopped breathing for a second, my hands tightened around my legs.
Another knock.
I forced myself up and walked towards the door. When I opened the door, Dominic stood there. I quickly jumped on him, wrapped my arms around him, and finally I broke into a big smile.
“Big bro, how have you been?” The muscles in my cheeks felt tight. He gently held my hands and led me into the room.
I pulled a chair from beneath the table and placed it in front of him.
He grabbed the chair, and finally he sat down. I couldn't stop smiling until I climbed the bed to face him, and tucked my feet under my body.
“How was your trip?” I asked.
He looked at me without saying a word. Those eyes reminded me of the day he told me he was traveling. I couldn't let go of him. He had been the only one on my side, seeing him makes me happy again.
No one spoke in the room, I fixed my eyes on his shoes until he finally broke the silence.
“Let’s forget about my trip,” he said.
“How are you, Yulia?” The question sat gently on my soul. My eyes scanned the wall in my room, as I tried to calm myself down from the memories of the past.
I sniffed in, “Dominic, please stay with me,” I cried out.
He stood up and sat beside me. He pulled me closer to him, his hands moved slowly across my back. His touch became slow and steady.
He squeezed my shoulder. “I'm here now.”
I inhaled sharply as I gently raised my head, my left hand wiped away my tears.
“What will I do?” I tried to control my tone yet it cracked.
His hands moved to my cheek. They were soft and cold.
“I heard about everything,” he said. “You took a bold decision to protect your name in the family history.”
I gave a gentle smile without realizing it. He reached into his pocket as it vibrated against his leg and headed outside.
I sat on my bed, listening to the thought in my head. Footsteps tapped against the floor, Elena stepped inside as she scanned every corner in the room before she stared at my face.
“There is no need to shed tears,” she said.
“By the time Nikolai finds out you are not me, you will be dead.”
I gripped the edge of the mattress, my hands became sweaty.
“Or you choose to walk away,”she continued.
My knee shook as I slowly pushed myself to my feet.
“Walk away?” I asked. I turned to point at the family picture on the wall.
“Where would I go if I walked away? This is my family, Elena. I was their daughter too, and I couldn’t leave the family I built.”
She took a few steps closer.
“They aren't your family, you don't belong here, you were just a stranger that stole my life and home.”
She stopped a few inches from me. I could smell her perfume, it was the same scent I wore everyday.
“You are a loser, Yulia.” Her hands hit my shoulder, and I fell backwards, the room echoed in sharp sound, slowly I hit the floor.
I stretched my hands out, tried to call for help, my mouth opened but no words came out.
I gasped for air the moment I noticed my lungs refused to open. I saw her boots. I saw her shadow on the floor.
“Stop pretending,” she said,
“I knew you are pretending”
Dominic came back and saw me on the floor struggling to gasp. I couldn't see clearly, everything turned grey at the edges.
“Elena, what have you done?” Dominic asked. He rushed to me, lowered his back to lift me up, I felt his hands on my shoulder.
“Why isn't she responding?” Elena's voice shook.
“Elena, what did you do to her?” he yelled.
“I tried to have a conversation with her,” Elena kept biting her lip.
“Check if she is still breathing,” she whispered.
He held his finger under my nose.
“Dominic, is she
dead?” She whispered.
My eyes began to close slowly, I couldn't fight it and I let my eyes close.

I followed him down the hallway. My feet echoed on the tiles as I spotted the door to the ward.I took a deep breath. The blood would flow from my arms to hers. This was the choice I made. I felt a cold shiver.He stopped at the entrance to the doctor's office then turned to me.“Make sure you do exactly what you are told.” He held my shoulder and squeezed it a little before letting go.I twisted the handle and pushed the door inward. The doctor sat on a chair and brought out a long file from the drawer.“Excuse me.” I stepped in.He looked up and scanned my body. “Who are you?” He said sharply as he adjusted his glasses.“Have your seat.” He pointed at the chair opposite the table. I moved it and sat down.He pushed the file to the drawer, and held his hands together.“You are…..?” He looked at me.“Mrs Romano.” I turned to look at my husband, standing outside the office. “Mrs Romano, I'm so sorry for keeping you waiting.

My husband quietly held my wrist. His skin felt warm against my cold skin. I didn't speak but I searched his eyes.“Lily needs you.” He looked at me.My heartbeat raced, a strange unease settling in my chest. The name Lily echoed in my head.“We were on our way home and we bumped into an accident. The doctor said she needed blood because she lost a lot of blood in the accident.”I remained silent and he continued.“There isn't a matching blood type for her in the hospital currently so he asked if there is someone that can donate for her. Yulia… donate your blood. We need to save her.” “How did you know I'm a perfect match for her?” “I asked my men to do a background check on you.”My eyes slowly widened.“So you were with her.” I pulled my wrist back and my voice began to rise.“Just donate the blood we are losing her.” His voice became louder than mine and suddenly dropped.“Please, do this for me. Lily needs you.” He held my hands tight and I couldn't resist.“Where is she?” I swa

I pushed his chest away, with all the strength I had in me. His head hit the porcelain. The door banged behind me as I ran out, my heels clicking rapidly on the floor.My shoulder hit a guest walking toward me, I bent down to pick up my purse without looking up. Nikolai stood with the guest. He turned to look at me, quickly signaled to one of the waiters and passed him the glass.He walked toward me and grabbed my wrist. His hands felt like iron, he stared into my eyes, scanning left and right, he said nothing.He then turned to the crowd. The waiter stood in front. He took a fresh spoon and a glass cup. He tapped the rim three times. The ringing sound cut through the room. Heads turned to our direction.Silence fell. I lowered my head and my skin felt hot under the stage lights.“I apologize for the interruption.” My husband said, bowing his head.“I appreciate your presence. Y'all stand for me and my wife.” He slowly turned his head to look at me, I softly curved my lips. “My wif

I threw my body through the opened window. The cold air touched my skin, as my legs hit a narrow edge. The hit sent a sharp pain up my back.I pressed my palms against the cold wall and forced my breath to stay quiet.Inside the room, Nikolai stumbled into the room, struggling to keep his balance. He looked under the table, his eyes landed on the mop that fell earlier.He quickly turned to check the wardrobe and he ran his eyes across the room. There was nothing.He turned his face away from the window. My muscles shook as my legs held onto two bricks.I looked down, two guards walked back and forth slowly in the garden. I could see their shadows on the grass. One look up would end my life.I waited. The room finally became silent, then noticed Nikolai was gone.My nails scratched against the rough wall as I held on tightly and dragged myself along the flat edge.I reached the master's bedroom, grabbed the window frame, cl

His phone vibrated in his pocket. He pulled back to look at the screen that displayed Father.He pressed his phone to his ear and didn't speak for a while. He only signaled to the driver to pull over. The car screeched as it slowed down and it came to a stop.Nikolai stepped out of the car. That was when I finally exhaled.He leaned back into the doorway.“Baby, I'll be back soon.” he said with a smile and turned to the driver.“Take her home, give her whatever she asks for.”A car suddenly slowed down and blocked the view ahead of us.Nikolai kept walking forward to the car ahead of us till he climbed inside, the driver twisted the key and the car began to hum.When we arrived at the mansion, it was much bigger than I expected.The driver stepped out of the car, walked around to my side and pulled the door open.

The Devil Silent Deception Chapter Three
A bitter chemical smell filled my lungs before I could open my eyes. My throat felt like it was lined with glass, something cold pressed against the back of my hand.A sharp pain suddenly hurt behind my eyes. I forced them open against the harsh white light. Dominic sat on the wooden chair near the bed. He stared at the wall as he gently rested his elbow on his knee. The pride he usually carried in his shoulders had vanished. His hands began to shake but he rubbed his hands together.The sheet rustled as I shifted slightly. Dominic turned towards me. His eyes widened for a second, and he gripped the edge of the bed.“How did you feel?” His voice sounded thin. He didn't look at my forehead where the bandage sat, instead he looked at my hands.“I'm fine,” I lied.My hand twitched under the blanke. I wanted to hold his hand but I kept my hands at my side. Elena's voice echoed in my head.“You stole my life.” Her voice wouldn't leav
