ALEXANDER POVEverywhere was silent. The only thing I heard was quickened breathing. We all looked at each other, still processing the officers’ words. Isabella reacted first.“What did you just say?” She asked, stepping forward. “Alex, did you hear them?”I felt numb to her question. I didn’t even hear her. All I was thinking about was Edward and death in the same sentence. It seemed impossible.“What did you just say?” Isabella asked the officers, her voice rising. “What did you just say?!”“Ma’am, I understand that you must be grieving so we’re going to give you some time to process the news,” the first one told her. He then motioned to his colleagues. “Come on, let’s leave.”“No, no, wait,” Isabella said, her hand in the air. “I didn’t hear you correctly. There must have been a mistake. Did you just say that Edward is dead?”Her voice crooked at the last word, as though she couldn’t exactly believe what she was hearing. I couldn’t believe it either. It felt distant, untrue. I neve

ALEXANDER POVI took a deep, much-needed breath before stepping into the station. I was supposed to be here four hours ago, but I’d been too caught up processing my emotions to notice the time slipping away.I need to see Isabella. That was all I could think, all I wanted to do. We needed to talk. I didn’t even know what to say to her but I knew we just had to talk.“I’m supposed to meet someone named Penny here?” I told the officer at the reception desk. “My name is Alexander. It’s in relation to my dad Edward’s murder.”“Ah, yes.” The woman gave me a long look, the sort of one that meant you had been discussed in a group.She turned to another officer, trying to hold back her laughter as she spoke to him. “Tell Penny that the last one is here. You know, the golden boy.”“Sure thing!” Came his answer.The officer gestured to me to follow him as he walked to where I presume Penny’s office might be.“Did you see the latest People magazine spread on them?” one officer whispered to anoth

ALEXANDER POVIt was the soft humming that woke me up. I stirred, my eyes slowly opening to the new world. My head felt black, as if I was recovering from a deep slumber and my muscles were remembering how to move.How did I get here?I scanned the walls my eyes landed on, my brain struggling to catch up and understand just what I was seeing. A hospital? It seemed like. There was a beeping sound beside me.“My sweet, soft baby,” a female voice said slowly. “Your hair is as soft as silk, your skin as smooth as butter. You’re going to be fine, my darling.”Confused, my head followed the voice. My eyes fell upon a woman leaking so close, I could see her nose hairs above me. I screamed and she pulled back, my brain immediately recognizing her as Madison.“Alex, you’re alive!” She exclaimed, excited. “Thank goodness! I thought I lost you. I thought me and my son lost you!”My heart raced at her high pitched voice and the image of her face in my head. This was not the first thing I wanted t

ALEXANDER POVI randomly think about that day and what I must have done wrong for Isabella to hate me the way she did. I remember the green top and trousers she was wearing, her eyes cold and blank as she told me that she never wanted to see me again. I remember standing up and reaching for her, and she avoided my grasp.“Let’s pretend that this never happened,” I remember her saying. “Alex, I want to forget everything about this aspect of my life. I want you to move on and leave me alone.”Just as suddenly as she arrived, she left. It felt like a movie; like she had come to pay me respect and give little speeches before leaving. It felt so unreal until she had gone.“You’ll just need to keep this tape on for a while longer,” Nurse Penny said as she checked my nose. “Every other part is healed except for this.”“I can take care of it,” I replied urgently. “But I need to go now.”“Your discharge isn’t due for another few hours,” she informed me.“What’s the difference between a few hou

ISABELLA POV I froze, pressing the phone to my chest. Has she heard me? Oh god, what if Madison had heard me make that call?“Stay on the line, ma’am,” the phone operator’s voice broke through the silence. “We’ll be there shortly.”I quickly hung up, now sure that Madison had heard me. She cracked a long laughter as she slowly made her way to the cellar door, her wooden club making a thumping sound as she came, announcing her presence.“So this is where you hide,” she tainted. “Scared little Isabella. I thought you were brave, huh?”“What the actual hell.” I started to crawl deeper into the small room, looking for a place to hide. “Alex, why did you have to have the craziest people?!”I raised my phone to my face and quickly sent Alex a short text:“Help me contact the police. Madison is trying to kill me.”Madison hit the door aggressively with the wooden club, making me jump.“I’m coming in now!” She called. “I’m coming to end this once and for all.”This was a small space. If she
