ECHOES OF HER SINS

When i saw the photo I stayed for minutes, i didn't scream when i saw it i didn't cry, i just sat there and stare at it, i memorize the angle, the lighting, the exact curve of my body in the blanket. Whoever took it had stood in my room while i slept, the person watched me breathe, watch me while i dream.

I turned the back again reading the message "i'll make you forget for good" Signed Wren.

The handwritting was elegant, familiar and cold.

I didn't realise how long i sat there until camilla entered my room " I have been knocking for close to 5 minutes Iris" she said immediately she got in. I didn't answer her making her come closer to me and take the photo from me.

" He's escalating" she said "This isn't obsession anymore Iris. It's war" I finally look up at her " How do we win against a man who erase people for a living" I asked her.

She knelt down beside me, cigarette between her fingers. "You don't fight a memory with a memory. You fight it with truth"

    SHADOWS IN THE BLOODLINEJOINT POVIRIS:I stared at the file long after Camilla left, my hands had gone numb. Noah, my son, they recorded everything, every words, every time stamp, everytime he plays, laugh, giggle, cry, sleep, everything was reccorded, they had monitor his emotiopns, documented how he listens to music, to my voice, to fear.I just stayed staring into space, my head hurts trying to understand, my heart ache because my womb have been the begining of an experiment. Worst of all the ring on my finger felt heavier than gold. My whole body buzzed like i have been dipped in electricity.I didn't know when i started shedding tears until it dropped on my hand and the files, everything i have done to protect my son was in vain, this was about rewritting my bloodline, this wasn't about erasing my memory anymore.CALLUM:I watched from the upper corridor as iris stood in the moonlit greenhouse, she held the files camilla have given to her against her chest like shield, her sho

    The Return of the Truth (Iris POV)Rain soaked the garden overnight, but Iris barely noticed. The morning after the vow-that-never-happened was grey and quiet, the kind of quiet that comes after something breaks but hasn't yet fallen.She woke to the sound of her own breath—shallow, uneven. Not quite grief. Not quite peace. Just a hovering ache.Callum hadn’t come to bed.The greenhouse still smelled like rosemary and regret. Her dress from the night before hung over the back of the chair, soaked from the rain. She touched the fabric and felt the moment he looked at her, broken but hopeful, flash behind her eyelids.She hadn’t walked away from love.She’d walked away from the version of it that still had blood on its hands.And yet she hadn’t taken off the ring.---Callum found her in the library.She didn’t look up as he stepped inside. He didn’t speak either, not right away. Just walked to the windows where she stood and handed her a folded piece of paper."It’s everything," he sai

    The Wedding That Wasn’tWRITER POVThe sunlight spilled through the tall windows of the Thorne estate, soft and golden, brushing over Iris’s bare shoulder like a whispered promise.She stirred slowly, blinking against the warmth of morning. For a heartbeat, she didn’t know where she was. But the heavy arm curled around her waist, the scent of musk and cedar, the steady rhythm of his heartbeat against her spine — it grounded her.Callum.They were back in the master bedroom. Not the cold, sterile guest wing where she’d been kept before. This one still held the ghost of their past — old memories, a worn photograph tucked behind the mirror, the faint indentation in the mattress where she used to lie curled beside him.She opened her eyes to see him watching her“You’re staring,” she murmured, smiling, her voice hoarse from sleep.“I’m memorizing,” he said. “I lost the right to stare a long time ago.”She sat up in the bed and turned toward him, her fingers brushing his jaw. The bruises f

    IN THE HOUSE OF SHADOWS Detective Jude:There are moments when your instincts scream before your mind catches up.This was one of them.Ava stood before me, with malice in her eyes and smile so devilish, she grabbed the paper from me with force and tucked it into her sleeve like it never existed. Her smile was still devilish that it felt like it was surgical.“ You are not a cop” she said coldly showing no emotions “ You are a dog with a badge chasing a ghost ”. “You switched that tie” I said “You nearly killed Callum Thorne” She looked at me from my toe to head before tilting her head “And yet he's still breathing, isn't that a shame?” she asked.I took a step forward “ Where is the rest of it, the letters, everything, where do you hide them” Eyes still on me she stepped back “ You want answers?” she asked and without waiting for me to reply she continued.”Go dig them up with the skeletons in the house” “ Why?, I thought she was your best f riend?” I asked trying to break in em
