Bella's POV My hand paused in front of the door as my body trembled from fear. I held the knob of the door but couldn't move and decided to let my ears listen to what they were saying.“How is that possible, Cyra? I made sure my daughter received the best treatment in the country. How could the illness come up again?” My father asked, and I looked down in fear.His voice was too calm…There's no way he believes the bullshit Cyra was telling him. I told her to keep her mouth shut and that I would tell my father about it myself! Was she thinking that I would cover up what happened and instead tell my father that my weak body had something to do with my illness?I clenched my hands tightly as my heart burned with hatred. 'Is this how far you can go to keep your silly job? I warned you to keep shut!’“Yes, Mr. Richard,” Cyra stuttered, fear visible in her voice. I slapped my forehead lightly then pushed the door and walked inside. “She is lying, father; I'm completely fine,’’ I said, w
Bella's POV"And that was what happened," I concluded after recounting how I got into the situation. The frown on Alex's face disappeared, as did the suspicion on Arnold's." So you're saying Doctor Sayanos did some tests on you-" Arnold muttered, almost to himself, but I felt the urge to correct him."No, I was the one who overheard his conversation with another doctor, and I told him I had the same blood group as Alicia, and boom, the blood transfusion was a success.”I flicked my finger at the word boom and Alexander's lips opened in an “O” shape. A sigh of relief escaped his lips. "I can't thank you enough for your kindness. I’ll make sure to remember this day.""Yeah," I replied calmly, though that didn’t change the fact that their behaviour had been rather unsettling lately."But I have a question," I said, my eyes drifting to the pile of documents on the table. The doctor was running late."What is it?" Alexander asked."I’ve noticed the murderous intent more frequently these d
Bella’s POVHuh? What’s happening?I walked cluelessly through the crowd of students gathered at the school’s main gate. My neck stretched as I tried to peek over their heads to see what was going on.“Oh my goodness, talk about tragedy,” one of the students gasped, her phone raised to record the scene ahead.I moved closer, squeezing myself between the students, my eyes locked on what she was filming.Huh?“Isn’t that Alicia…?” My mouth fell open in shock as I stared at the unconscious girl on the ground. Alexander rushed to her side and collapsed to his knees.I’m sure his legs are dislocated from that fall.But wait… how did this happen?It hasn’t even been ten minutes since I left her. How did she end up like this? I glanced down at the silver box in my hand and opened it. Inside were matching bracelets.I bought these last week but kept forgetting to give them to her. I thought the bracelets would strengthen our friendship.“He’s leaving without waiting for an ambulance?” a stu
Alexander's POVMy feet pounded against the hallway floor as cold air filled my lungs. I slid along the wall, nearly dislocating my shoulder as I rounded the corner.“Slow down, Alex!” Arnold shouted from behind me, but I didn’t listen. My head was spinning as I raced toward Alicia’s ward.This scene...I’ve seen it before.Everything’s happening just like it did a year ago.This is exactly what happened to Briana!I took a sharp turn and there he was, Adrian, sitting on a chair with his head buried in his hands. I quickened my pace and stopped in front of him, gasping for breath. My eyes darted to the door behind him. I pushed it open and when I did, my stomach twisted in pain. The room was empty! Alicia wasn’t there.“Where is she?” I asked, my eyes locked on the vacant space. I pictured her still lying there but she was gone.Did they take her corpse away?Adrian said her condition was bad. He said Alicia won't wake up anymore…“Adrian,” I took a step back and closed the door sof
Adrian's POVI stood outside the hospital staring at the patients being aided by some nurses or their family members. My hand clenched the phone which was firmly placed against my ears. “Is there no way?” I asked, staring at the empty space. “There's no way, young master,’’ The person on the phone said. “My team and I tracked the location of where your parents were last seen but we couldn't find clues about where they went afterward,”“What about the airport? You said the plane they booked disappeared too. What if they are-” I said, but the man interrupted me. “We couldn't find footage of them entering the plane, young master,” He paused before continuing. “I believe this is a hidden attack from someone. I will continue investigating,”“Good,” I sighed softly then said,” Send any information you got from the investigation to me first,” “Understood,” He answered firmly and I hung up the call. I stared at the scenes before me and closed my eyes to recollect my thoughts. I will make
Claudia's POVI stared at the spot Celine was once and sighed softly. I glanced sideways and picked up my phone from the messy bed. I scrolled through my contacts and clicked on Sebastian's number. The trilling from the phone echoed in my room as my eyes stared at the number waiting for him to pick up. “Young mistress,” Sebastian's calm voice came from the speaker. I sighed softly and was about to speak when I heard screams from the background.The fuck?“Where are you?” I asked, staring at my phone's screen.“I’m running an errand for your father,” he replied calmly, then paused before continuing, “Is there something you need me for?”I clenched my fists tightly as the image of the man my father eloped me with flashed in my mind. Ever since the incident with the false mate bond, I hadn't spoken to him again.I pressed a hand to my forehead: ‘And father hasn't asked about how everything went,’“Young mistress?” Sebastian’s voice pulled me from my thoughts.“I’m here,” I said, cleari
