Under His Control 48. Locked Away
“Where is Emma?”Alex’s voice sounded cold the moment the door of the Swan family’s grand mansion opened.The servant who had opened the door looked nervous. But before he could answer, a woman stepped out from the living room with graceful steps.“Mr. Alex?”Sophia smiled widely, as if she hadn’t expected the man standing at her doorstep.“Please come in,” she said quickly, her eyes gleaming with calculation. “What important matter would make you come here personally?”Alex looked indifferent.“I’m here looking for Emma. I assume you know where she is right now, Mrs. Sophia,” he said flatly, though his tone sounded far sharper.Sophia kept smiling, though inwardly she felt slightly annoyed that the man hadn’t even greeted her.“Come inside first. We can talk in there,” she said as she opened the door wider.Alex finally stepped inside. The Swan mansion, spacious and luxurious, felt unusually quiet tonight.Sophia walked ahead of him and casually sat down on the living room sofa.“I’l
Under His Control 47. The Weight of Truth
The moment the hospital room door opened, the sound of sobbing filled the air.“Dad…”Alice rushed forward and wrapped her arms around Henry’s frail body on the hospital bed. An IV line was attached to his hand, and the heart monitor beside his bed beeped steadily.Henry startled for a second, then gave her a weak smile. His hand, still steady enough, lifted slowly to stroke his daughter’s back.“I’m fine,” he murmured. “Don’t cry. I’m just tired.”Alice shook her head, tears falling uncontrollably. “I was scared I’d lose you.”Jonathan stood not far from the bed, his face tight with tension. Lucas stood beside him, calmer, though his sharp eyes carefully studied Henry.Alice finally released her father and wiped her tears quickly. Then she looked at him anxiously.“How could this turn into a heart attack, Dad? What happened?”Her tone shifted—from worry to anger.“This must be because of Emma, right?” she snapped. “Because she ran away from the wedding and shocked you!”“That’s enoug
Under His Control 46. Torn Away
“Emma!”The shout cut through the late afternoon air outside the hospital.Emma, who had just been about to get into the car, froze. Her hand was still gripping the door handle. Edward stood beside her, ready to close the door once she was inside.William strode toward them, his face flushed red with anger. Shopia and Rose followed close behind, their steps just as hurried.“What do you think you’re doing here, Emma?” William barked without preamble. “Do you think this is some kind of joke? Running off on your wedding day!”Emma slowly closed the car door.Then she turned and looked at her father without fear.“Yes. I ran away,” she answered calmly. “And this time, I won’t let you destroy my future.”“You—”“My life has been ruined since the day you brought them home,” Emma cut in, pointing at Shopia and Rose. “And now I won’t let you control my life anymore. My future is mine to decide.”“You ungrateful child!” William snapped. “Who took care of you all these years if not Shopia? Ros
Under His Control 45. The Choice That Changed Everything
The Clayton family moved quickly down the corridor toward the intensive care unit where Henry was being treated. Alice’s face was tense. Jonathan walked in front with long strides and heavy breaths. Lucas followed behind, composed as always, though his sharp eyes scanned the situation carefully.But Jonathan suddenly stopped.On the long bench outside the ICU sat someone in a white gown that stood out starkly against the sterile hospital walls.Emma.The wedding dress still clung to her body. Her long veil was folded beside her on the chair. Her makeup was still flawless—though her eyes were swollen.Jonathan stiffened.Emma slowly stood when she saw them approaching.Her face was calm.Too calm.No regret.No guilt.That was what made Jonathan’s blood boil.He stepped forward quickly and grabbed her arm roughly.“You did this on purpose, didn’t you?” he hissed. “You ran away just to humiliate me in front of everyone?”Emma met his gaze.Unflinching.“I will never marry you, Jonathan.
Under His Control 44. Wedding Cancelled
The hotel’s main ballroom had transformed into a sea of white and gold.Crystal arrangements hung from the ceiling like scattered stars. White lilies and pastel roses decorated every corner, forming an aisle lined with a soft ivory carpet laid out flawlessly. Warm lights reflected off the satin-covered round tables, casting a gentle glow across the room.Every single detail had been carefully chosen.By Jonathan himself.He stood near the wedding stage, an expensive cream suit fitting his body perfectly. His hair was neatly styled, his face confident—at least, trying to look that way.Emma would be happy seeing this.He imagined her expression as she stepped into the ballroom. Her eyes would sparkle. Her lips might curve into that small smile she rarely showed.All these colors were Emma’s favorites.Soft white. Warm gold. Elegant touches of pastel flowers. Luxurious, but not excessive.Jonathan had eve
Under His Control 43. Waited for a Miracle
Emma sat upright in front of the vanity mirror.The white gown hugged her body perfectly. Delicate beads shimmered every time she moved, catching the light and scattering it across the room. Her hair was styled into an elegant updo, adorned with a long veil that flowed softly, nearly brushing the floor. Her makeup was flawless—her skin radiant, her eyes brighter, her lips tinted a soft red as if brushed by rose petals.She looked like a bride from a fairytale.And that was exactly what made her chest tighten even more.One hour.In one hour, everything would begin.“You look absolutely beautiful, Emma. Honestly, I almost didn’t recognize you,” the makeup artist said for the umpteenth time.Emma offered a faint smile.A smile that stopped at her lips.“Thank you.”Her hands, folded neatly in her lap, were trembling violently. She stared at her reflection in the large mirror before her.That wasn’t her.It was a doll.A doll perfectly dressed to be displayed at the altar, to be exchange
