Chapter 65: Unexpected Outcome

last update Last Updated: 2025-07-28 23:45:45

Annalyn’s POV

I stirred awake to warmth at my stomach, a hand draped protectively over me. The touch was firm yet gentle, and my insides tingled with recognition. I knew those hands. I had felt them before…

It was most definitely Alex’s hands.

A small smile crept across my lips before I even opened my eyes. Maybe last night hadn’t been a dream after all… Maybe, for once, I wasn’t going to wake up to an empty bed alone. Maybe I finally mean something to him. I mean he has his hands around me.

I opened my eyes slowly, my chest light with hope, only for it to sink like a rock in water.

It wasn’t Alex.

It was Nolan, curled against me, one small arm flung across my waist. His tiny lips were parted in sleep, his hair ruffled from tossing in the night.

For a moment, I just stared at him, heart clenching at how peaceful he looked, yet… disappointment washed over me. That warmth, that security I had felt? It wasn’t from Alex—it was from Nolan.

I glanced to the other side of the bed. Empty.

    Kristoff’s POV“Pick the damn phone, you bastard.”I paced the length of the room, phone pressed hard to my ear like I could force it to comply through sheer pressure. The marble floor beneath my feet was cold, slick, mocking me with its calm while my insides burned.Ring.Ring.Ring.I stopped pacing and glared at the screen, jaw clenched so tight my teeth ached. My reflection stared back at me from the dark glass wall…eyes sharp, face drawn, anger simmering just beneath the surface.“Pick up,” I snarled. “Pick up.”As if I’d jinxed it, the call connected.“Hello?” came the cautious voice on the other end.I didn’t bother with pleasantries.“I need a new identity,” I snapped. “Passport. Name. History. Everything. I want out of this city.”A pause.Then a sigh.“Kris,” the man said carefully, “I’m not in that business anymore.”My grip tightened around the phone.“What do you mean you’re not in the business?” I demanded. “You were in it three months ago.”“I got out,” he replied. “Cle

    Anna’s POVWaiting has its own sound.It hums.Low. Persistent.Like something alive, crawling under your skin.I’d been sitting on the same bench for so long my legs had gone numb, but I didn’t dare shift. I felt like if I moved…if I breathed too loudly…I might break whatever fragile alignment the universe had finally arranged in my favor.Mrs. Quinn was on her way back.That single fact was the only thing keeping me upright.My mother sat beside me, her shoulder pressed firmly into mine, grounding me. She hadn’t let go of my hand in over an hour. Every now and then, she’d squeeze my fingers gently, like she was reminding me that I was still here. Still alive. Still fighting.“You’re shaking,” she murmured.I hadn’t noticed.“I’m fine,” I lied, my voice thin.She turned slightly, studying my face the way mothers do…like they can see through skin and bone straight into the soul. Her brows drew together, worry carving deeper lines into a face that had already aged too fast these past m

    Kristoff POVRestlessness is a disease.It crawls under the skin, gnaws at the bones, refuses to let a man sit still even when everything is supposedly going according to plan. I paced the length of the sitting room for the fifth…no, sixth… time, my footsteps echoing off marble floors that suddenly felt too loud, too exposed.Too alive.“Sit down,” my attorney said from the leather couch, calm to the point of irritation. “You’re wearing a path into the floor.”I shot him a glare. “How do you expect me to relax when Margaret Quinn is suddenly everywhere?” I snapped. “Every move I make, she’s already ten steps ahead, waving law enforcement like a fucking baton.”“She’s reacting,” he said evenly. “Not leading.”I scoffed. “You don’t know her.”I stopped near the window, peering through the heavy drapes, half-expecting headlights to cut through the darkness. Nothing. Still, the tension wouldn’t leave. It pressed against my chest, tight and insistent.Something felt off.Before I could voi

    Mrs. Quinn POVThe door closed behind me with a weight I felt in my bones.Hospitals had a way of stripping you bare…no matter how powerful you were outside those walls. I stood for a moment beside my car, inhaling slowly, forcing my spine straight, my face calm. Flora’s voice still echoed in my head, the doctor’s words replaying like a loop I couldn’t shut off.Rissa would wake soon.Alex was stable… but still sleeping.“Let people he loves speak to him,” the doctor had said gently. “Sometimes the heart needs a reason to fight its way back.”I squeezed my eyes shut for half a second.Hold on, my son. Just a little longer.Then I slid into the car and shut the door, sealing emotion out with a practiced precision I’d perfected over decades.This was no time to break.I pulled my phone from my bag and dialed a number I hadn’t saved…but knew by heart.He picked on the second ring.“Margaret,” Inspector Hale said. “I was expecting your call.”“I need an escort,” I said without preamble, s
