The walk home was a blur as Pamela’s body still hummed with the aftershocks of everything that had happened in the library, but her mind was elsewhere-tangled in the words Richard had spoken.

“It’s over.”

The way his voice had cracked when he said it, the way his hands had trembled as he held her. He had tried to push her away, but his body had betrayed him

She wiped her lips with the back of her hand, as if she could still taste him. The way he had looked at her-like she was something he couldn’t bear to lose-it made her chest ache.

“She’ll ruin you.”

The warning echoed in her skull. Just how dangerous was Eleanor-enough to scare Richard? She wasn’t just a scorned wife; she was storm waiting to break. And Pamela was standing in the open, unprotected.

He fingers tightened around the strap of her bag as she turned the corner onto her street. The sun had begun its descent, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, but the beauty of it was lot on her. All she could think about was Ric

  • Total Surrender    Chapter 77(Is Everything Okay?)

    The soft chime of her mother’s voice floated through the haze of sleep, pulling Pamela gently from a dreamless slumber. “Pamela, sweet bun, time to get up for church!” Ellen’s words were warm, threaded with that familiar lilt of love and routine, a sound Pamela hadn’t realized she’d missed so deeply. Her eyes fluttered open, the faint glow of dawn seeping through the curtains of her childhood bedroom. The air carried the scent of lavender and old wood, grounding her in a way that felt like a long-forgotten embrace.“Church,” Pamela murmured, her voice thick with sleep. She hadn’t been in ages—not since college had swept her into a whirlwind of lectures, late nights, and Richard. The thought of him sent a pang through her chest, sharp and unbidden, but she pushed it aside. Not here. Not now. She swung her legs over the edge of the bed, the cool hardwood floor a shock against her bare feet, and crossed to the window. Lifting the curtains, she let the morning light spill in, soft and go

  • Total Surrender    Chapter 76(Home)

    Pamela hadn’t been home in months. The bus ride out of the city felt like stepping back into a softer world, the kind of place where the air smelled of cut grass and the only noise at night was the hum of crickets. Her forehead rested against the cool glass as the fields blurred past, and for the first time in weeks, her chest loosened. No secrets here, no lies. Just her family.When the bus finally pulled into the little station near her neighborhood, she felt her heart stir with something almost childlike. She slung her bag over her shoulder, tugged her cardigan tighter against the evening breeze, and started the familiar walk down the old winding road.The Hartman house stood just where it always had, painted cream with the same navy-blue shutters her mother insisted gave it “character.” The front garden was alive with roses and sunflowers, lovingly tended by her mum, and there was the faint smell of pot roast drifting from the kitchen window. Pamela paused at the gate, letting the

  • Total Surrender    Chapter 75(For You)

    The morning sun sliced through the city, painting the streets in hues of gold and amber as Richard’s car hummed along the quiet roads. Pamela sat in the front passenger seat, her hands folded tightly in her lap, her fingers tracing the faint red marks still lingering on her wrists from the night before. The weight of what had happened—the blood, the body, the nearness of death—pressed heavily on her chest, but Richard’s hand on her thigh, warm and steady, anchored her to the moment. In the backseat, Sophia leaned against the window, her bruise-darkened cheek a stark reminder of the violence they’d barely escaped. The safe house had been a temporary refuge, a cocoon of quiet where they’d clung to each other through the night. But now, as Richard pulled up to their apartment building, the real world loomed like a storm on the horizon. Pamela’s heart thudded as she glanced at him, his jaw tight, his dark eyes fixed on the road ahead. She could feel the shift in him—a hardening, a resolv

  • Total Surrender    Chapter 74(Don't Shove me Away)

    Richard's jaw locked, his fingers wrapping around the gun as if holding on to the hurricane she stirred in him. He put the gun on the side table with a soft clinking, his eyes never leaving hers. "Pamela," he breathed, her name a prayer on his lips, loaded with love and fear. "Even after tonight, you don't realize what you're demanding? It isn't safe. I'm not safe." She closed the distance between them, her heart pounding, her body drawn to him like a moth to flame. “I don’t care,” she said, her voice fierce. “I’m not afraid of you, Richard. I’m not afraid of this." She pulled his hand to her, her fingers shaking as they brushed against his, heated and rough from the violence of the night. "Please, Daddy. Don't shove me away." His breath stilled, and for a moment, she saw the struggle in his eyes—the desire to protect her competing with the desire that was hers as well. Then, with a low growl, he changed his mind, scooping her into his lap with one smooth motion. She perched on him,

  • Total Surrender    Chapter 73(Safe )

    The door clicked shut behind Ivan and his men. Pamela’s fingers brushed Sophia’s forehead, smoothing back a stray curl, her touch light but trembling. “You’re okay, Soph,” she whispered, her voice cracking with relief and guilt. “You’re gonna be okay.” She wanted to believe it, needed to.A soft groan broke the silence, and Sophia’s eyes fluttered open, hazy and unfocused. “Pam?” Her voice was thick, slurred with pain and confusion, her hand lifting weakly to touch her bruised cheek. “What… what happened? Where am I?”Pamela’s heart lurched, relief flooding her as she squeezed Sophia’s hand. “You’re safe, Soph. You’re in the apartment. There was… someone here, but he’s gone now. Richard took care of it.” Her voice wavered, the weight of the night pressing down on her, but she forced a small smile, trying to anchor her friend. “You’re okay.”Sophia’s eyes darted around the room, widening as they landed on the spot where Nash’s body had been, now just a gleaming patch of hardwood. “The

  • Total Surrender    Chapter 72(Are You Back)

    The tallest one, the leader, had a grizzled jaw and eyes like chipped obsidian, sharp and unyielding. His name, Pamela would later learn, was Ivan. He carried himself with the quiet authority of someone who’d seen too much to be rattled by a single body. The other two followed his lead, wordless, their duffel bags clinking softly with the tools of their trade—chemicals, brushes, and plastic sheets that crinkled ominously as they set them down. Ivan nodded, his lips twitching into a ghost of a smile. “Of course, Viktor” He gestured to his men, who moved with eerie precision. One of them, a stocky man with a shaved head and a scar snaking down his neck, unrolled a heavy plastic sheet and spread it beside the body. The other, leaner, with a faint limp, pulled out a bottle of industrial-grade cleaner and a stack of rags from his duffel. They worked in silence, their movements swift and methodical, as if erasing a human life was just another Tuesday. Pamela watched, her stomach churning
