“What?!”

The word ripped out of me before I could hold it back. I shot to my feet, my chair screeching loudly against the floor. I couldn’t believe what Jason had just said.

Jason, however, didn’t flinch. His face was calm, too calm, though I saw the exhaustion in his eyes. With a heavy sigh, he reached into his briefcase, pulled out a thick folder, and tossed it onto the table between us.

I looked at the folder. I couldn’t bring myself to touch it. A small part of me wished Jason would laugh and tell me it was a cruel joke, that he was simply trying to prank me or something. But the way he leaned back in his chair, his expression cold and serious, told me this was no joke.

“Go on,” Jason said quietly, “see for yourself.”

My throat was dry. My fingers twitched, but I still didn’t move. I looked up at him, hoping for a sign that this wasn’t real. But he only nodded, insisting with his eyes

    Skylar“You have to watch her closely,” Dr. Nathaniel said. “No late nights, no stressful conversations, no work and no overthinking. Skylar needs peace of mind more than anything. Her body has gone through trauma, but her mind…” he paused, adjusting his glasses, “…her mind must heal too. Limit visitors. Give her nutritious meals. And most importantly, listen when she wants to talk.”Mother nodded like a student before her teacher. “Of course, Doctor. We will follow every instruction, one after the other. Not a single thing will be missed. I promise you that.”Cole, who had been standing beside her with his arms folded, stepped forward and shook the doctor’s hand. “Thank you, Dr. Nathaniel. Really. Thank you for everything you’ve done for my family.”I managed a small smile. “Thank you, Doctor.”In my heart, I was just glad this would be the last time I would hear his lectures inside this white, cold building. I was finally leaving this h

    AmeliaThe moment Cole’s car disappeared through the gate, my tears instantly stopped.I clenched my fists in anger and before I could stop myself, grabbed the flower vase on the center table and smashed it to the ground.“Damn you, Celeste!” I hissed, my voice trembling with fury.That spoiled, arrogant brat! She dared to open her stinking, rotten mouth!Margo stepped into the living room, her eyes widening as they darted from the broken vase to my face. “Ms. Amelia, are you… are you alright?”I turned on her sharply. “Did I call for you? Did I send for you? Get out of here!”“I—I’m sorry, Ms. Amelia,” she quickly muttered and fled.I took a deep breath, trying to control my temper, but I just couldn't!Celeste. This was all her fault! This was exactly why working with immature, spoiled brats was so exhausting. She had nearly ruined everything. Everything! I had worked so hard, planned so carefully, la

    Cole“Cole?” Amelia's eyes widened in surprise immediately she opened the door and saw me. “I didn't know you were coming.” She moved aside quickly, ushering me in. “Come in, please. Is everything okay?”I walked past her into the living room. The smell of fresh coffee lingered in the air. On the table were a few magazines and a half-finished cup. “How’s Skylar?” she asked quickly, shutting the door and following me. “Is she… is she doing okay? Is the therapy helping her recover? I’ve been so worried.”I stared at her. This was someone I had taken as family, protected her and provided her with nothing but the best. She sounded all concerned about Skylar, but behind her soft voice, behind those questions, I kept hearing Jason’s words. The money transfers. The evidence. Why?Why would Amelia do this?I thought back to the time she had shown Skylar those pictures and videos of me with Luciana. Had her goal always been to

    JasonI fastened the strap of my wristwatch and adjusted it over my wrist. The day ahead of me wasn’t one I was looking forward to, but it had to be done. I had put it off long enough. Cole needed to know everything, and after that, both of us would decide what would happen next and the next step to take.I pushed open the door of my room and stepped into the hallway. I had barely taken three steps when I heard a faint voice behind me.“Brother…”I stopped. My jaw tightened as that weak, pitiful, annoying tone reached my ears. I didn’t even bother to turn.“Weren’t you asked to remain in your room?” I asked coldly.Behind me, there was a shaky sniff. I finally turned. Celeste stood there, her face pale, her eyes red and wet with tears… typical Celeste.Her lips trembled as she whispered, “Please, brother… I came to beg you one more time. I know I disappointed you, and I also know you’re angry with me. But… I don’t want to go to jail.”I stared at her for a long moment, unmoved by the

    ColeA few minutes earlier…Keith’s name flashed on my phone, and the moment I heard his voice, I could already tell something was wrong.“Sir,” Keith began, “Mr. Ethan is with Mrs. Buckman.”I froze. “What do you mean he’s with her?” I snapped.“He insisted on seeing her, and when I tried to stop him, Mrs. Buckman… she was the one who ordered that he be allowed in.”My jaw tightened so hard. My hand gripped the phone until my knuckles whitened. “She allowed him in?”“Yes, Sir.”Why would Skylar do this? She knew very well what Ethan was capable of. She knew the chaos he carried with him. Yet she disregarded my instructions and let him into her ward.“Alright. I’ll handle it myself,” I muttered over the phone and I ended the call.Without wasting another second, I grabbed my keys and stormed out. By the time I reached the hospital, my blood was already boiling.I walked quickly down the corridor, my chest tight with anger. When I reached her ward, I was ready to push the door open and
