Chapter 115: The Cost of Devotion

مؤلف: TEEZA PEE

(POV: Oma)

The chief of neurosurgery didn't look like a man who believed in miracles. Dr. Aris was a man of clinical metrics, a veteran of traumatic brain injuries and shattered bones who spoke in the cold, unyielding language of millimeters, Glasgow Coma Scales, and neurological markers.

Yet, on the sixth morning of Richard’s hospitalization, I found him standing at the foot of the bed, staring at the telemetry monitor with a look that bordered on profound professional confusion.

  • UNDESERVED ROMANCE WITH MR. BILLIONAIRE   Chapter 116: The Oakhaven Horizon

    (POV: Richard)The weight of the hospital gown was finally gone, replaced by the familiar, grounding texture of a charcoal wool sweater and denim.Buttoning my shirt had taken twice as long as it used to, my ribs still offered a sharp, localized protest if I twisted too quickly, but the sheer physics of dressing myself felt like a massive victory.The door to the private room clicked open, and Dr. Aris walked in, carrying a thin manila folder. He didn't look at the charts this time. He looked directly at me, his hands tucked into the pockets of his white lab coat."The final scans are clean, Richard," Dr. Aris said, a rare, uncomplicated smile breaking through his usually stoic expression. "If I didn't have the baseline telemetry from the night you arrived, I would say you were lying to me about the mechanics of that accident. Your lung capacity is back to ninety-five percent, the neurological responses are flawless, and your vitals are steadier than mine have been in a decade.""So,

    (POV: Oma)The chief of neurosurgery didn't look like a man who believed in miracles. Dr. Aris was a man of clinical metrics, a veteran of traumatic brain injuries and shattered bones who spoke in the cold, unyielding language of millimeters, Glasgow Coma Scales, and neurological markers.Yet, on the sixth morning of Richard’s hospitalization, I found him standing at the foot of the bed, staring at the telemetry monitor with a look that bordered on profound professional confusion."It defies the kinetic models we drafted on night one, Ms. Oakhaven," Dr. Aris said, tapping a stylus against his tablet without looking up. "The deceleration forces Richard took when that vehicle impacted the barrier should have left his neurological pathways sluggish for weeks, if not months. His cognitive processing should be foggy. Instead, his speech is fully coherent, his motor reflexes are advancing by forty-eight hours every single morning, and his cardiac stress markers are lower than mine."I smile

  • UNDESERVED ROMANCE WITH MR. BILLIONAIRE   Chapter 114:  Fragile Awakening

    (POV: Ned)The harsh, fluorescent reality of the ICU didn’t change when the sun came up, but the world outside certainly did.By 7:30 AM, my phone was vibrating so hard against the linoleum floor where I’d dropped it that it sounded like a dying insect. It was the frantic, high-pitched frequency of a market in panic. Wall Street was digesting the news of the Jones Ledger freeze, the imminent restructuring of Jones & Associates, and the sudden, unexplained disappearance of Nora Jones.I didn't answer a single call. I didn't care.Inside Room 4, the atmosphere was thick with a heavy, sacred exhaustion. The morning light filtered through the blinds in thin, dusty slats, cutting across the foot of Richard’s bed."The paperwork is done," Cole whispered, stepping up beside me. He looked as sharp as he had at midnight, a freak of nature, honestly, but his voice was hushed out of respect for the fragile quiet of the room. "Elizabeth signed everything. The non-contact order, the transfer of v

  • UNDESERVED ROMANCE WITH MR. BILLIONAIRE   Chapter 113: The fall of an Empire

    (POV: Elizabeth Jones)The roar of the jet engine faded into the heavy evening downpour, leaving behind a silence so absolute it felt physical.I stood on the tarmac, the rain ruining my silk blouse and matting my hair to my forehead. For the first time in more than forty years, I didn't care about my appearance. I stared up at the empty sky where the tail lights of Nora’s plane had just vanished into the thunderclouds.She left, she had walked away, and had traded marriage to Richard and the Jones legacy for obscurity."Madam?"My personal security guard, a man who had been on my payroll for a decade, stood a few paces back, holding the umbrella over nothing. His voice was cautious, laced with the awkward discomfort of a subordinate witnessing a deity bleed."The driver is waiting. The firm's PR crisis team has requested an immediate conference call. They say Ned’s legal representatives have already served the board."I didn't answer him. I walked back to the parked limousine, my mov

  • UNDESERVED ROMANCE WITH MR. BILLIONAIRE   Chapter 112: A Final, Severed Cord

    (POV: Nora)I didn’t look back. I knew that if I turned my head to glimpse the skyline one last time, the sheer, crushing weight of everything I was abandoning would suffocate me.The hum of the wheels against the tarmac was the only sound inside the cabin of the town car. Outside, the city lights blurred into long, weeping streaks of gold and red against the rain-slicked window.On the seat beside me lay my smartphone, turned face down. It hadn’t stopped vibrating for three hours. Public relations alerts, furious emails from the family office, frantic texts from board members, and missed calls from numbers I had spent my entire adult life trying to impress. To the public, the collapse of the Jones empire was a spectacular, slow-motion train wreck on the morning financial news. To my family, it was a social death sentence.But to me? It was the end of a long, exhausting performance.I pulled my cashmere coat tighter around my shoulders, feeling a chill that had nothing to do with the

  • UNDESERVED ROMANCE WITH MR. BILLIONAIRE   Chapter 111: Surrounded by Genuine Love

    (POV: Ned)Where is he? How is he doing now? I asked frantically, directing the question to the nurse at the reception but not waiting for the response, I wanted to dash forward toward the ICU but decided to caution myself and stopped.When the doors slid open, I stepped in with the hurried, heavy stride of a man who had spent the last two hours breaking speed laws on the interstate. Behind me came Cole, my personal aide and logistical shadow, carrying two oversized leather duffel bags and a face masked in grim, military-grade efficiency.I didn’t look at the pristine walls or the quiet luxury of the VIP wing. My eyes, sharp and hyper-focused, scanned the corridor until they locked onto the glass doors of ICU Room 4."Cole, drop the bags by the reception desk and tell security that if anyone with the last name 'Jones' tries to clear this floor without my written permission, I’ll buy this damn hospital just to fire them," I barked, my voice a low, gravelly rumble that shattered the ste

    Richard stood alone in the wreckage of the bookshop. He leaned against the heavy oak desk, his lungs burning, his hand shaking as he wiped a smear of blood from his cheek. The silence rushed back in, heavy and thick with the scent of old paper.He walked toward the alcove, his heart hammering again

    "Sir, they will tear you apart!" the security said in panic."Let them try." Richard pushed past the guard and shoved the heavy glass doors open."Mr. Jones," the head of building security said, stepping forward with a pale, stressed face. "Sir, we’ve called the district, but they’re taking their ti
