Waiting in the shadows A Question of Blood
Sophie did not react instead She stood over Maya's unconscious body her breathing uneven at first before it slowly settled into something controlled. Her eyes moved across the room once, assessing, thinking ahead, already working through the consequences and how to avoid them before they even arrived.She knew one thing for certain. She could not move Maya herself.That alone forced her to act quickly, She reached for her phone and dialed a number she already knew would respond without delay."Come to the private wing," she said the moment the line connected, her voice low and firm. "I need assistance immediately."She ended the call before any questions could follow, knowing that hesitation was the one thing she could not afford right now.Minutes later, a hospital security staff stepped into the room, his steps slowing the moment his eyes landed on Maya lying motionless on the floor. Confusion crossed his face first, followed by concern,. Still, beforehe could speak further, Sophie
Waiting in the shadows Exposed
"Let me handle it," Maya told Lucas.Her voice was steady, even though she could still see the anger burning in his eyes, the kind that did not settle easily, the kind that pushed people into decisions they could not take back. He did not respond immediately, just stood there, his jaw tight, his hands still stained with dried blood from where he had hit the table earlier."If I can find proof," she continued, more quietly now, "or bring the truth out of her... that would be enough."Lucas looked at her, but he did not argue.Maybe because part of him already knew she was right.Maybe because he did not trust himself to face Sophie in that moment without making things worse. Maya did not wait for anything more. She turned and left him there, standing in the garden, consumed by anger he could not yet control.The hallway felt colder when she stepped back inside. But her mind was anything but calm. Every step she took toward Sophie's room felt deliberate, like she was walking into someth
Waiting in the shadows A little too late
When Lucas returned to the hospital, everything felt heavier than it should have been, as if the air itself carried something unresolved, something waiting to break. He walked straight down the hallway toward Sophie's room, expecting to find Maya there resting. ,But she wasn't there.He paused at the door, looking inside for a moment longer than necessary, as if she might suddenly appear, but the hallway remained quiet and empty except for the faint hum of the machines. His brows pulled together slightly, confusion settling in, before he stepped back into the hallway.That was when he saw her.Maya.Through the glass, standing in the garden. He didn't think twice before turning and heading toward her.The garden was quieter, the noise of the hospital fading behind him, leaving only the faint rustle of leaves and the distant sound of movement somewhere far off. Maya didn't move when he approached, didn't speak, just stood there like she had been waiting but wasn't sure how to begin.Lu
Waiting in the shadows Unintended Witness
The wait outside the labour room stretched longer than anyone expected, the kind of waiting that slowly eats into your thoughts until silence becomes louder than noise, and Lucas stood there with his back slightly against the wall, his jaw tight, his mind moving in circles that refused to settle into anything clear.He had gone through a lot in a short period of time, but nothing felt as unsettling as this moment, standing outside a room where he could not control anything.The hallway was quiet but not peaceful, filled with distant footsteps, low conversations, and the occasional movement of nurses passing by, yet none of it reached him fully because his attention was locked on that door, on the outcome behind it, on the uncertainty he could not shake.Then finallyThe door opened.A doctor stepped out, holding the baby carefully in his arms, wrapped tightly, small enough that the sight alone made something inside Lucas tighten in a way he could not immediately process.Lucas straigh

The pain had increased it wasnt like a while hours ago when it was mild.It was no longer something Sophie could measure or prepare for. It came in waves that refused to follow rhythm, each one stronger than the last, each one pulling whatever strength she had left out of her body and leaving her weaker than before. Her fingers gripped the sheets so tightly her knuckles had turned pale, her breathing uneven, breaking in between sharp cries that echoed through the room without control.."It's too early," one of the doctors said under his breath, but not low enough for it to be ignored.Another voice followed quickly, "She's not holding up well."Sophie heard them.Even through the pain, she heard every word, every tone, every hesitation, and it made everything worse, because she knew what that meant, she knew what they were trying not to say directly, and it sat heavily in her chest, mixing fear with anger in a way she could not separate."I can't..." she gasped, her voice breaking as
Waiting in the shadows The Cost of Impulse
Maya had not been able to shake the feeling since the last time she followed Sophie to the hospital, the moment replaying in her mind over and over again, every detail refusing to settle, every question growing louder instead of fading, until what started as doubt had slowly turned into certainty that something was wrong, something deeper than what anyone else could see.She was convinced now.Kade was alive.There was no other explanation that made sense, no other reason for Sophie's movements, her secrecy, the way she appeared where she should not be and disappeared before she could be questioned, and the more Maya thought about it, the clearer it became that whatever was going on was not something Alicia would believe, not without proof, not without something concrete enough to silence doubt.And that frustrated her.Because she knew she was right.She just did not have what she needed yet.Maya sat on the edge of the bed, lost in thought, her mind running through possibilities, co
Waiting in the shadows Misunderstandings & New Beginnings
The crisp air as Damien and Maya walked up the steps to his family's home. The stairs were neat, Maya felt a nervous flutter. She had never met a host family like this before, and she wasn't sure what to expect.Before Damien could knock, the door swung open, and a tall, warm-faced woman peered out
Waiting in the shadows Shadows Between Us
Maya had adjusted to Swedish life faster than she expected. People were kind, helpful, and curious but never intrusive. Her pregnancy, once a source of quiet fear, was now met with warmth wherever she went.She had the sweetest neighbours, who could always make sure she had enough fruit for the day
Waiting in the shadows Whispers in the Silence
The morning air in London was thick with drizzle, grey clouds pressing low over the skyline. Maya stepped out of her apartment one last time, her fingers lightly brushing the soft swell of her stomach. Two months pregnant, carrying a life she would raise alone, she had never felt more fragile or mo
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,
