Waiting in the shadows Used and Discarded
Lucas woke slowly, the weight in his body still there but lighter than before, the sharp pain replaced by a dull pull that reminded him he was still alive, and the first thing he saw was Maya sleeping beside him, her head resting close, her face calm in a way he hadn't seen in a long time, like for once she wasn't thinking about danger or running or what could go wrong next.He watched her for a moment without saying anything.Then he reached out and touched her face gently, his fingers brushing against her skin, and a small smile formed without effort, something quiet, something real, something that didn't need words.Maya stirred slightly at the touch, her brows tightening before her eyes slowly opened, and the moment she saw him awake, everything else disappeared."Thank God you are awake," she said immediately, her voice filled with relief as she sat up, her hand moving to his shoulder, checking him like she still needed to be sure he was actually fine."You scared me," she added,
Waiting in the shadows Bullet For you
They slept until it was midmorning, not out of peace but out of exhaustion, the kind that shuts the body down after a long marathon night. when Maya woke up the first thing she noticed was the heat, Lucas's body was burning against her hand and it didn't feel right, not normal warmth but something deeper, something was wrong, and the fear came instantly."Lucas..." she called softly, touching his face, but he didn't respond.Her heart started racing.She stood up immediately and stepped outside, scanning the quiet road like it could suddenly give her a solution, and for a moment there was nothing, just silence and distance, until she spotted a man walking slowly with his dog, calm, unaware, normal in a way that almost felt unreal compared to everything she had just been through."Hey," Maya called out, her voice urgent as she ran toward him, "please I need your help, my husband has been injured."The man stopped, looking at her, taking in her state, the panic in her eyes, the way her
Waiting in the shadows Night of Penance
Lucas drove for a long time before arriving at Guildford, the road stretching endlessly ahead of him as his thoughts refused to settle, because not knowing where Maya was felt worse than anything else, it felt like time was slipping away and every second he wasted could cost her life. He was not ready to sit back and let that happen, not after everything they had already been through. He slowed down when he saw a small roadside market and pulled over, stepping out with urgency written all over him as he walked in and asked if there were any abandoned buildings or houses further ahead. Still, the people there only looked at him strangely, like his question made no sense, like he was the one out of place, and it irritated him because he knew he was close, he could feel it, until a young girl spoke up and said she was heading in that same direction and asked if he could drop her off.Lucas didn't hesitate, he agreed, and they got into the car, continuing the journey down a road that grew
Waiting in the shadows Sophie's Dark Secret
Lucas refused to believe it.He stood outside the ward, staring at the closed doors like if he looked long enough, something would change, like the doctor would walk back out and say they were wrong, that Henri was fine, that everything was under control. But nothing changed.His father was inside, fighting for his life, and for the first time in a long time, Lucas had no control over anything."I won't accept this..." he muttered under his breath, his jaw tightening.Footsteps approached.Lucas turned.Alicia walked in, Layrus beside her, her face filled with concern the moment her eyes landed on Lucas."I heard what happened," she said softly. "I'm sorry."Lucas didn't respond immediately. He just nodded slightly, his mind still elsewhere, still running through everything that had happened, everything that didn't add up."I will have to find Maya," he said after a moment, his voice low but firm. "Her life is in danger."Alicia's expression changed slightly."Do you remember anything
Waiting in the shadows Torn Between Two Lives
As Lucas arrived home, Kade called him."I see you decided to put my own mother into your plans that's nice," he laughed sheepishly then his face changed."My revenge is almost complete and there is nothing you can do about it."Lucas's grip on the phone tightened instantly, his jaw clenching as anger surged through him. Where are you, Kade?" he snapped. "Stop being a coward and hiding in the shadows."Kade cut him off, not allowing him to say another word, "I decide when we will meet and that should be soon."Then he sent Lucas a video ,He opened it immediately.The moment the screen lit up, something inside him dropped.Maya.Her mouth was tied, her hands restrained, her eyes the only thing visible, and even through the screen, the fear in them was undeniable.Lucas's breath stilled. Yes, yes," Kade's voice returned, almost pleased now, "I am with your lover... or should I say, baby mama."Don't you dare hurt..." Lucas started, his voice rising, but the words didn't even finish.Ka
Waiting in the shadows The Missing Piece
Lucas left the house before dawn.The penthouse was still, the kind of quiet that made every small movement noticeable, so he made sure there were none. He didn't want questions, not from the staff, not from anyone and definitely not from Sophie. Whatever he was about to do, he preferred it stay that way for now.Outside, the air was cold and empty. He got into his car and drove off without looking back.The roads were almost deserted at that hour, giving him the space he needed. He drove for a long time, far enough for the city to disappear behind him and the surroundings to grow unfamiliar and isolated. His mind stayed active the entire time, moving through the same thoughts over and over again. Is Kade alive?Nothing was lining up the way it should.By the time he reached his destination, the sky had begun to lighten slightly. The building in front of him resembled a clinic, but not one that welcomed patients. It stood apart, quiet, almost forgotten. There were no signs of activity
Waiting in the shadows Truth in the Night
The hospital room was silent, the faint hum of machines and the soft beeping of monitors the only sounds breaking the stillness. Maya stirred in her bed, eyelids fluttering open, and immediately realised how sore and drained she felt. Her entire body ached, but her mind was sharp, unusually sharp,
Waiting in the shadows Behind Closed Doors
Maya walked into the hospital, her mind focused and determined. She had to know the truth no more lies, no more games. Every step echoed in the quiet lobby, her resolve unshakable.She approached the front desk. "I need to access Sophie Thompson's recent medical appointments," she said calmly, keep
Waiting in the shadows The Lie That Bleeds
The sharp scent of antiseptic filled the private recovery room, thick and suffocating.Sophie lay against the white hospital sheets, her fingers clutching the fabric so tightly her knuckles had turned pale. Her body felt weak, heavy, as if someone had drained all the strength from her bones. A dull
Waiting in the shadows Fractured Paths
Damien carried a small container of strawberry ice cream. He placed it gently on the kitchen counter. "Here," he said softly. "I know it won't reach the baby, but... I wanted you to have it."Maya's fingers brushed the lid. She smiled faintly, her lips trembling with exhaustion. "Thank you, Damien.
