Lena was still in her thoughts when the door burst open, pushed with force by Alejandro. He stormed inside, his presence filling the room instantly.

His shirt sleeves were rolled up, with his tie askew and his hair disheveled like he had run his hands through it too many times.

“Lily—” His voice cracked as his eyes landed on the bed. In two strides, he was at her side, dropping to his knees.

“Elise.” He took her hand carefully, as if afraid the slightest pressure would hurt her. His thumb brushed over her knuckles, his forehead pressing against her arm. “No… no, no, no.”

His shoulders shook once, a tremor he didn’t bother to hide. In front of him was his whole world, lying still beneath an oxygen mask.

Behind him, Lucas entered and his eyes scanned until they landed on Lena. He moved to her with restrained urgency. “What happened? How are you with the boss’s wife?

Lena’s throat tightened, but she forced herself to meet his gaze. “I already mentioned that my name is Lena. I

    The case against Clara Stanton had reached its judgment in less than two weeks.Lucas had stood in court as Alejandro’s representative, barely keeping his composure as the final sentence was pronounced. Not because it was not in their favour. It was. Clara was guilty as it was clear as day. The evidence was enough and Lena’s testimony had sealed it. But somehow, Charles Stanton had managed to manipulate the case in his favour or better put, Clara’s favour, as he took the fall for it.He had managed to convince the court that Clara was merely a minor in the John’s case, and a misguided young woman swayed by psychological instability in the fire incident. And for that reason, the judge hesitated, pitying Clara, who sobbed continuously, as if she had been falsely accused. But judgment had to be passed, and Charles Stanton volunteered himself. Why he did that was unknown. Yet, it was not surprising as he and Margaret had only ever enabled Clara since she was a child.One clear thing w

    The last time Alejandro met with the doctor, she had informed him that Elise needed a good amount of rest. Even as she had been doing that for the past week, he made sure to stay with her so she rested enough. By this time, she was off oxygen and even the urine catheter. Her day was mostly spent bathing in the morning, which Alejandro helped her with, sitting up for a while, having breakfast, and taking a small amount of medication and supplements. She also walked a bit around the hospital with Alejandro’s guidance for fresh vitamin D and stretches. Nap, lunch, and every other thing that followed till dinner, sleep, and repeat the cycle. Elise had not voiced it out but she was very excited knowing that her discharge was in the talks. Yes, the hospital was an environment that allowed for healing in its form but the anxiety that the other part came with, did not exactly help her case as an almost 8-months-pregnant woman. “Where are you going to now?”“I want to pee.” Elise rolled he

    On the white sheets where Elise lay, the morning light still managed to cast pale stripes on her face through the blinds. The skin of her face still looked weak and bruised, and her lips dry, but she had regained consciousness after a series of processes the doctors had gone through. It had only been for a while, less than five minutes. But now that Elise slept again, Alejandro sat by her side with much relief, watching the rhythm of the rise and fall of her chest that now moved steadily.The only time he had left her side since they brought her in was when the doctors had ‘forced’ him to leave so they could do their job, but even then, his eyes lingered on her through the window blinds. Now she was much better. Still weak, but visible progress. Alejandro’s hands were clasped and his eyes were fixed on her when her eyelids fluttered open. “Elise,” Alejandro murmured, brushing her hair away from her face.Her eyelids fluttered again, and when her gaze met his, his face lit up to t

    The smell of the room, mostly antiseptic and reminiscent of strong artemether lumefantrine, was still not enough to overshadow the smell of smoke that clung to Elise’s hair.The single fluorescent light overhead buzzed, flickering now and then as if even it, too, carried the strain of the night.On the bed, Elise lay unnervingly still. Her lips were parted around the clear mask that fed oxygen into her body. Her skin, usually so full of warmth, looked drained of color against the thin sheets. The monitor, perched on a shaky stand beside her, beeped at slow, irregular intervals while measuring her oxygen saturation, pulse rate, temperature, and blood pressure.Lena Moreau stood a few feet away, wringing her hands together until her nails bit crescents into her palms. Her heart hadn’t slowed since the moment she’d dragged Elise out of the fire, half-conscious. The doctor, a lean man with glasses sliding down his nose, came over to check the readings. His face didn’t reveal much until

    Alejandro could barely keep his focus on the men seated across the table. Which was silly because the main purpose of this trip was for this meeting and a few that would be coming up in the days to come. They called figures relating to the contract, projecting different explanations and tactics but none of them kept his attention.Alejandro had told himself that it was fatigue especially considering that he barely had enough rest after his flight till the meeting. A part of him also concluded that it was because where he wanted to be was with his Lily, kissing her belly and forehead, and also holding her in his arms. Still, there was this aching feeling pressing against his chest, that everything was not okay.He adjusted his wristwatch while tapping his pen against the polished wood, his jaw tight as the conversation dragged on. He had left his phone at the hotel by accident, and though it shouldn’t have mattered for a few hours, he felt the absence so much. “Sir, do you think
