The Heirloom Pendant

2025-06-14 00:01:29Arla-Rosa sat at her dormitory desk, her fingers brushing over the pendant she had tucked safely into the velvet pouch the night before. Now she saw it for what it truly was, not merely a family artifact, but the rare jade pendant she had d once believed was a protective charm from Master Ye in her former life.
In that life, she had worn it through pain, betrayal, and death. It had been her only comfort when Seth broke her, the only item she clung to in silent hope. She never knew…It was his. It was Cedric’s all along. A memory surged, faint but undeniable. The morning after she’d sold her soul to Seth, when her world had already begun to rot, she woke to find that pendant on her nightstand. Back then, she thought Master Ye had slipped it there to comfort her.But now, now, in this life, he had handed her a pill and a black card. And dropped this same pendant on the cold hospital floor as if discarding a mistake. She pressed it to her heart, her thou

The Phoenix Bride Rises: Trust Was Her First Mistake Off to Country N
The city lights of Country N sprawled beneath the aircraft like scattered stars. Rosa pressed her hand against the cabin window, heart fluttering. The skyline was foreign, gleaming spires, endless neon veins of traffic, and digital screens that blinked with the pulse of progress. Here, no one knew the name Arla-Rosa Hernandez. Here, her past could not follow her.The flight attendant passed by, offering a soft smile. Rosa nodded politely but quickly turned back to the window, her fingers tightening around the jade pendant hanging on a leather string around her neck. Cedric’s heirloom… a silent reminder of a chapter she was determined to close. She was beginning again. A new name. A new purpose. A new life. Inside her, the twin heartbeats beat softly, fragile, yet full of promise.It was almost midnight when she stepped out of the airport. The wind smelled different in Country N. It was cleaner, crisper, with a whisper of salt from the distant sea. The driver holding her name, Dr. Rosa
The Phoenix Bride Rises: Trust Was Her First Mistake Silent Goodbye
Rain drizzled softly over the private terminal of Country D’s international airport, fogging the glass panels with a veil of gentle mist. Arla-Rosa sat alone in the VIP lounge, a wide-brimmed hat covering her face and dark sunglasses concealing the emotions in her eyes. A single duffel bag rested at her feet, packed not with souvenirs or medals from her achievements, but with baby journals, medical texts, and soft clothes stitched for newborns.Her letter of resignation had already been processed. Her access to the Fleming House of Hope system revoked. She had severed all professional ties. But her heart… not so easily.It was still tethered to the memory of two heartbeats, one strong, one soft. Her twins. Conceived in a past life. Taken from her by hands that never should have touched them. She had named them privately. Never spoken their names aloud. Never got a touch to hold them.Now, they stirred again beneath her ribs, tiny heartbeats pulsing in tandem. A sharp knock disrupted h
The Phoenix Bride Rises: Trust Was Her First Mistake Late Consequences
The morning sun in Country D rose high, casting long streaks of light through the tall windows of the hospital’s East Wing. Arla-Rosa moved down the corridor, clipboard in hand, her pace steady, outwardly unshaken. However, inside, she felt like the ocean before a storm.It had been six weeks since that night. Six weeks since the bitter silence in the back seat of Duke Cedric Fleming’s armored car. Since his cold, mechanical dominance, his glazed eyes clouded by drugs someone else had meant to use. Six weeks since he had handed her that black card and a small blister pack, his expression carved from stone."Take it," he had said. No emotion. No eye contact. He had not even asked her if she was alright. That moment stayed with her more than the act itself. He had not seen her as a person, but a problem to solve before it bloomed. She had taken the pill. But now, here she was, swaying slightly as her fingers gripped the corner of the nurse’s station for sup

The Phoenix Bride Rises: Trust Was Her First Mistake Bitter Morning
The morning sunlight poured into the halls of Fleming House of Hope, gilding the sterile white walls with deceptive warmth. But no light could reach the corners of Arla-Rosa’s soul, not after the night she had endured. She had not slept, and she doubted he had either.At precisely 7:00 a.m., she entered the East Wing’s briefing room as required, dressed immaculately in her scrubs. Her shoulders were straight, her chin held high. Not even a flicker of turmoil showed on her face. But Cedric’s eyes, oh, they were colder than she had ever seen them.He sat at the head of the table, surrounded by silence and sterile air. No other medical staff were present, only her. This meeting, she realized, was not for any patient. It was for her. “Sit.” The command was clipped. Arla-Rosa obeyed without a word, her palms resting on her thighs.He reached into the inside pocket of his coat and retrieved a small black velvet pouch. With measured movements, he placed it on the table before her. Beside it,
The Phoenix Bride Rises: Trust Was Her First Mistake The Unforgivable Night
Arla-Rosa could not sleep. She had gone through her shift like a machine. Checking vitals, attending to patients, and filing medication logs. However, the moment her duties were done and she was finally alone in her quarters, the gravity of what had transpired came crashing down again.The soft ticking of the wall clock was the only sound accompanying her in the stillness of her room. It had been twenty-four hours since the banquet. Since the plan. Since that night. She sat cross-legged on her narrow bed, staring at the folded dress on the far end of the room, the same crimson gown she wore when she pulled Cedric out of that banquet hall. A memory she would never forget, nor forgive herself for.She pressed her palms against her face, inhaling shakily. Her body had healed, barely sore now, but her spirit? It was fractured. And not because of the act itself. It was how wrong it had been. Mechanical. Detached. Devoid of the man who once loved her in another life. Cedric had not touched
