2025-11-14 16:00:40Adeline's POV
The house felt different when I came home from the hospital. Empty. Cold. Like it knew what was happening between Blake and me. I sat on our bed, holding the pregnancy test results in my shaking hands. The paper felt heavy, like it held the weight of my entire future. Positive. I pressed my hand to my still-flat stomach. There was a tiny life growing inside me. A piece of me that Blake could never touch or hurt. For the first time in months, I felt something I hadn't felt in so long - hope. "Hello, little one," I whispered to my belly. "I know you can't hear me yet, but I want you to know that Mommy loves you already." Tears rolled down my cheeks, but they weren't sad tears. They were happy tears. Even though I was dying, even though everything in my life was falling apart, this baby was a miracle. I imagined what the baby would look like. Would they

When the heart breaks twice The Killer
Adeline's POV I sat in the back of the police car, staring out the window without seeing anything. My mother was dead. The words kept echoing in my head, but they didn't feel real. Drug overdose. That's what the officer had said. But my mother had been clean for three weeks. She had promised me she was getting better. Unless... unless the pressure from the people she owed money to had been too much. Unless she had used drugs to escape the fear. I put my hand on my stomach, thinking about the baby growing inside me. My child would never meet their grandmother. They would never know the woman who had raised me, who had loved me despite all her problems. The police station was busy when we arrived. Officer Martinez led me to a small room with a table and two chairs. "Can I get you some water?" he asked. I nodded. My throat felt dry. He brought me a bottle of water and
When the heart breaks twice The Trap
Adeline's POV I sat in the kitchen staring at the pill bottle Blake had given me. My hands were still shaking. Everything felt wrong. My mother was dead. Blake suddenly wanted to save our marriage. And now these mysterious pills. I needed to think clearly, but my mind felt foggy with grief and fear. My phone buzzed. A text message from an unknown number. "Even if your mother is gone, you must pay us our 50,000. We know where you live. We know your husband has money. Pay up or join your mother." The blood drained from my face. My mother's drug dealers. They still wanted their money. I looked around the kitchen, suddenly feeling like someone was watching me. The house felt dangerous now. Blake is upstairs with Rebecca. These people are threatening me. I couldn't breathe. I needed to get out of here. I needed to go to my mother's place and figure out what to do. I gra
When the heart breaks twice The Perfect
Blake's POV - Present Day I woke up with Rebecca in my arms. She looked so peaceful sleeping, so beautiful. I couldn't believe I had wasted so many years with Adeline when Rebecca was right here. Rebecca stirred and opened her eyes. "Good morning," she said softly. "Good morning," I said, kissing her forehead. "How are you feeling?" "Better," she said. "Having you here makes everything better." I held her closer. "I wish I had realized this years ago. I wish I had chosen you from the beginning." "We can't change the past," Rebecca said. "But we can control our future." "Speaking of the future," I said, "I think we should speed things up with Adeline." Rebecca looked concerned. "What do you mean?" "I mean I don't want to wait any longer. I want her gone. Today." "Blake, are you sure? That seems very fast." "I'm sur
When the heart breaks twice The perfect lie
Rebecca's POV I sat on my bed, scrolling through funny videos on my phone. A stupid cat was trying to catch its own tail, and I couldn't help but laugh. Life was good when you knew how to play the game right. My phone buzzed with a message from my hired doctor friend. The fake medical reports had been delivered to Blake perfectly. He now believed that Adeline was lying about her cancer. Perfect. But I needed to do more. I needed to ensure that Blake never returned to that hospital. Never went back to her. I had been thinking about this plan for days. It was a risky move, but it would work. It had to work. I opened my contacts and scrolled down to Blake's number. My finger hovered over the call button for a moment. Then I pressed it. The phone rang twice before he picked up. "What do you want, Rebecca?" His voice sounded tired, annoyed. I took a
When the heart breaks twice Chapter 20
Rebecca's POV - Three Days Earlier I sat in my car outside the rundown apartment building, watching the entrance. I had been here for two hours, waiting. Finally, I saw her. Adeline's mother stumbled out of the building, looking around nervously. She was thin and shaky, like all drug addicts. Perfect. I got out of my car and walked toward her. "Excuse me," I called out. "Are you Mrs. Chen?" She turned around, her eyes suspicious. "Who's asking?" "My name is Sarah," I lied smoothly. "I'm a friend of your daughter Adeline." Her face changed when she heard Adeline's name. "Is she okay? Is something wrong?" "She's fine," I said. "But I need to talk to you about the money situation." Mrs. Chen looked around nervously. "What money situation?" "The money you owe to those dangerous people. Adeline told me about it." Mrs. Chen's
