The Tyrant's captive bride Chapter 80
Harper “Come on Harper one more lap around the room,” he says one day holding my arm. “You got this. Pretend dream Elias is chasing you. That’ll make you run.”I glare at him but I’m smiling. “Shut up. Dream Elias would’ve locked me in the room and called it romance. You’re out here making me exercise like a personal trainer who actually cares. It’s suspicious. You sure you’re not the tyrant in disguise?”He laughs loudly. “If I was the tyrant I wouldn’t be bringing you those terrible hospital cookies every Tuesday. I’d make you eat kale or something evil.”“See? That’s exactly what a tyrant would say,” I shoot back and we both end up laughing so hard the nurse comes in to check if we’re okay.After a full year of recovery I’m finally out of the hospital and staying in a small apartment Elias helped set up. We’re sitting on the couch one evening when he gets all nervous and pulls out a little box.“Harper,” he says and his voice is soft but steady. “This past year and a half has been

HarperI make this huge gasping sound like I’ve been underwater for way too long and suddenly my lungs remember how to work. My eyes fly open and the room is too bright and everything feels wrong. There’s a tall guy sitting right beside the bed holding my hand gently. He looks a lot like Elias from my head but softer around the eyes and his smile is real and happy instead of scary. “You’re awake,” he says, voice cracking like he might cry any second. “Harper, you’re really awake. Doctor! Nurse! Somebody get in here she’s awake!”He jumps up fast but keeps one hand on my shoulder like he’s scared I’ll disappear. I blink at him and try to sit up but my body feels like it weighs a million pounds. “Back? Back on what? What happened to me? Where was I? I was… I was somewhere else. There was a baby and pushing and then drowning and fire and… why does my throat feel like I swallowed sandpaper?”The doctors rush in and start poking and prodding and shining lights in my eyes. They’re all talki

HarperElias sighs like I’m the one being difficult. “It’s for your own good. You need help processing this. I’ll visit every day. We’ll get through it together.”“I don’t believe you,” I whisper but my voice cracks. Everything feels fuzzy now. Did he really strangle me or was that part of the trauma too? My head hurts trying to sort it out.They take me to the institution the next day. It’s all white walls and quiet halls and people who talk to me like I’m made of glass. I spend days just sitting in my room replaying the hospital over and over. The beeping. The pushing. The silence when the baby didn’t cry. Elias’s hands on my neck. Or maybe not. I don’t know anymore.One afternoon the door opens and Yuto walks in. He looks nervous but determined, glancing over his shoulder before closing the door.“Harper,” he says, coming straight to me. “I heard what happened. I’m so sorry about the baby.”Fresh tears start even though I thought I was done crying. “He’s gone Yuto. My little boy is

HarperThe beeping starts first. That steady annoying hospital monitor sound going beep beep beep like it’s counting down to something bad. My eyes snap open and I’m on a bed with my legs up in those stupid stirrups and doctors all around me yelling numbers and pushing on my belly. Sweat is pouring down my face and my hair is stuck to my neck. I’m pushing so hard my whole body shakes but nothing is happening right.“Come on Harper push!” one doctor yells right in my face. “You’re almost there!”“I am pushing!” I scream back at her because what does she think I’m doing, napping? My belly feels like it’s splitting open and the pain is everywhere but I keep going, teeth clenched, groaning like an animal. “Get this baby out of me already! I want to see him! I want him to live!”Elias is beside me holding my hand too tight. His face looks blurry through all the sweat and tears. “Keep going baby, you got this.”I push again and again and again until my throat is raw from yelling. The doctor

Harper Elias moves closer to me, not touching but close enough that I feel his warmth. “You heard her. Time for you to leave.”Ryan looks at me for a long moment, disappointment all over his face. “If you change your mind, you know how to reach me. Don’t wait until it’s too late.” He turns and walks out without another word.The second the door closes I let out a shaky breath and drop onto the couch. My hands are trembling. Elias sits next to me, careful not to crowd. “You okay?”“No, I’m not okay,” I mutter. “Some guy just asked me to send my husband to prison while I’m sitting here the size of a house. And I said no. What kind of idiot says no to that?”“You’re not an idiot.” Elias reaches over and puts his hand on my knee. “You’re protecting our family.”“Our family,” I repeat and laugh once, sharp. “God, that sounds so normal when you say it. Like we’re not completely messed up.”We sit there for a while without talking. I keep rubbing my belly and the baby finally settles a bit.

HarperI wake up with my heart trying to punch its way out of my chest and my belly feeling like it weighs a hundred pounds already. The bus seat is sticky under my thighs and somebody’s backpack keeps bumping my elbow every time the driver hits a pothole. School is done for the day but my brain is still stuck somewhere between last period and whatever the hell is going on with my life. Elias made breakfast this morning like some sitcom husband, then helped me shower without even trying to cop a feel, which is so not him that it makes my skin crawl. Now I’m on the bus heading back and all I can think is how fast everything flipped. One picture. One stupid picture and suddenly he’s playing nice guy while I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop and crush my toes.I rub my belly and the baby kicks back hard like he’s agreeing with me. “Yeah, you feel it too, huh?” I mutter under my breath. The lady next to me gives me a weird look but I don’t care. Let her stare. My husband might be a ref

Harper The door to our room swings open way too early the next morning. I am already half out of the bed in my head. The card from Raymond burns a hole in my palm under the pillow. I think okay this is it. I am going to fake another dizzy spell if I have to. I plan to slip out during the shift cha

~Harper~I’m curled up on the couch pretending to scroll through art blogs on the tablet Elias gave me, but really I’m listening to every word because Aurora’s voice is blasting through the speaker on his phone, high and demanding like she owns the place, and he didn’t even bother taking the call i

~Elias~I know she’s breaking away from me again because I feel it every time she looks at me now, that mix of hate and fear that’s sharper than before, like the file and Aurora’s call cracked something I can’t glue back together, and it’s eating at me because I need her to need me, to want me, eve

~Harper~I’m digging through the dresser for my favorite hoodie, the one I took from him when my hand hits something lacy and weird.I pull it out.Black lingerie. Tiny. Expensive-looking. Tags still on, but the kind of set that screams “I’m here to ruin your life.”Not mine. Definitely not mine. I
