CHAPTER SEVENTEEN.

GERALD'S POV.

The news was everywhere—Lara’s press conference, her return and reemergence into the society, her past with me, and her current study as the mystery CEO.

Everyone now knew what I had lost.

It was why I had switched off my phone and let it sit in my pocket.

To obstruct everything that constantly reminded me of all I had lost.

She had taken his name in front of everyone. That bastard, Byran.

Mrs Roberts.

No longer Stone.

No longer mine.

  • Too Late To Get Me Back, Husband    Pain

    RIAPain.That was the first thing I felt when I opened my eyes.For a few seconds, I didn't know where I was. My head throbbed, and a sharp pain ran through my side every time I tried to breathe. I blinked several times, trying to make sense of the darkness around me.Then I remembered.The car.Daniel.The road.The crash.I tried to move my arm, but something was pressing against it. When I looked down, I realized I was still trapped inside the car.The vehicle had overturned.Broken glass covered the seats and dashboard, while smoke drifted through the cabin and made my eyes sting. Somewhere nearby, something was leaking, and the faint smell of gasoline filled the air."Daniel?"My voice came out barely above a whisper.I turned toward the driver's seat.Daniel was slumped over the steering wheel. Blood ran from a cut on his forehead and disappeared beneath his hair."Daniel?"He didn't move.I stared at him for a moment, unsure whether I should be relieved or worried.He had trie

  • Too Late To Get Me Back, Husband    Daniel

    RIAI sat rigidly in the passenger seat, staring at the unfamiliar phone in my hand. My fingers were still trembling from everything that had happened, but the messages on the screen had nothing to do with the shaking. They had frozen me in place. Devil was alive. Somehow, despite the bullet I had fired into his side, he was alive, and he had managed to get this phone into my possession without me even realizing it."Ria?" Daniel called, glancing at me from behind the steering wheel. "Are you okay?"I looked at him, but the question seemed impossible to answer. How could I tell him that the man who had kidnapped me was already contacting me? How could I explain any of this without sounding insane? I looked down at the phone again, hoping the messages would somehow disappear, but they remained exactly where they were."I'm fine," I finally whispered.Daniel gave me a skeptical look. "You don't look fine.""I just need a hospital."The moment I said it, I realized how badly I needed one

    RIAI ran until my lungs felt as though they were going to burst. I had no idea where I was going, and at that point, I didn't care. All that mattered was putting as much distance as possible between myself and Devil, his men, and that horrible room.My footsteps echoed through the narrow corridor as I stumbled forward, one hand pressed against the wall to keep myself upright. The gun was still clutched in my other hand, and when I looked down at it, my fingers began to tremble. There was blood on them. His blood.I swallowed hard as the realization settled over me again. I had shot him. I had actually pulled the trigger.A door appeared ahead, and I rushed toward it, grabbing the handle with desperate hope. It didn't move."Locked."I twisted it again, harder this time, but nothing happened.Behind me came the sound of shouting."Find her!""She's somewhere in the building!""Check every room!"My heart slammed against my ribs. They were coming for me.I looked around desperately and

  • Too Late To Get Me Back, Husband    Good Morning.

    RIAThe first thing I felt when I opened my eyes was something cold brushing against my leg.I froze.For a few seconds, I couldn't understand what I was feeling. My head was heavy, and everything around me was dark. My wrists ached, and when I tried to move them, I realized they were tied tightly behind my back.Then something moved against my ankle.Slowly, I looked down.A pair of pale eyes stared back at me from the darkness.My breath caught in my throat.A snake.I jerked backward instinctively, but there was nowhere to go. My shoulders slammed against the wooden wall behind me, and the movement caused several other shapes to stir around my feet.There wasn't just one.There were several."No..."My voice came out as a broken whisper.I looked around frantically, trying to make sense of where I was. I was inside a wooden box barely large enough for me to sit upright. The walls were rough, and the only light came through several narrow openings near the top.Snakes crawled across

    RIAWhen I opened my eyes, pain greeted me before anything else.It wasn't the sharp kind that came from a single wound. It was everywhere, deep and relentless, crawling through every inch of my body until even breathing felt like a punishment. My head throbbed violently, sending pulses of agony through my temples, and I squeezed my eyes shut again, hoping the darkness would somehow make it disappear.For several seconds, I didn't move. I was too afraid to.Where was I?Slowly, I forced my eyes open and stared at the unfamiliar ceiling above me. The room was dimly lit, with heavy curtains drawn across the windows and only thin rays of sunlight slipping through the gaps. The faint hum of an air conditioner filled the silence, making the room feel strangely peaceful despite the terror slowly building inside me.I tried lifting my hand.Something tugged against my wrist.My brows furrowed in confusion as I looked down, and the moment I saw the restraint wrapped tightly around my wrist,

    RIA I immediately pulled out my phone and called the men I had hired, hoping one of them would answer and tell me they had already found Lara. The call rang until it disconnected, so I tried again. Then a third time. Still nothing. “Pick up, damn it!” I snapped, gripping the steering wheel as I called another number. “What the hell is wrong with you people?” No one answered. Frustration burned through me. They had taken my money, promised they would handle Lara, and now that she had escaped, they had suddenly disappeared. I couldn't even call the police and report her missing. What would I tell them? That I had hired people to find her? That I knew exactly why she had disappeared? I would only be putting myself in danger. I tossed my phone onto the passenger seat and leaned back, breathing heavily. My head was throbbing from everything that had happened in the last few hours. Gerald was in police custody, Lara was somewhere out there, and the people I had trusted to solve my prob

    LARA“I didn't do anything, Gerald!” I pleaded, tears burning in my eyes. His eyes burned with hatred as he carried Ria up, her hands hanging limply. “She tried to hurt herself, and I stopped her.”“Stop lying!” he thundered, and I flinched. “Ria has no reason to hurt herself. You're so selfish and

    Lara's POV “Your lies weren't enough and now you're trying to blame poor Ria? She doesn't even know what we're talking about.

    Lara's POV I never got the chance to tell Gerald that I was pregnant. Or that I was dying in six months. I didn't want to believe that he would actually bring Ria to the house, so I didn't clean the room as he told me to.The doctor specifically told me not to stress myself and I wouldn't do that
