All Chapters of MOAN For me MONALISA : Chapter 131 - Chapter 138

It had been one of those days that made my head pound. Meetings back-to-back. No time to breathe. I had been in and out of the factory, checking the production for our new designs, then rushing to the design department to review the fresh concepts they’d been working on. Every conversation felt like a clock ticking louder in my head. I didn’t even realize the time run so fast. My stomach twisted in protest, reminding me I hadn’t eaten. My phone began to ring and ring again, vibrating against my desk like it was about to burst. The moment I saw the caller ID, my heart skipped and then slammed against my ribs. Jayden. I didn’t think. I just grabbed my bag, almost knocking my chair over, and rushed out. "Hello Jayden, I’ll be with you shortly. Thank you," I said breathlessly into the phone as I hurried down the hall. I practically leapt into the elevator. My heels tapped restlessly against the floor as if they could make the slow box move faster. Each floor felt like a year pa

We arrived at the hospital, and before the car could even come to a complete stop, I threw the door open and jumped out. My legs carried me faster than my mind could process. My chest burned, but I didn’t care. My only thought was Jayden.I pushed through the hallways, bumping into people without saying a word. When I reached the surgery room, my heart sank. The room was empty. Cold. Silent.“No… no, where is he?” my voice trembled as I whispered to myself.I spun around and rushed back to the reception desk, my palms sweaty, my knees almost giving out.“Please,” I panted, leaning on the counter. “Jayden… the patient that was brought in after the accident. Where is he?”The nurse, calm as ever, looked at the chart and then back at me. “He’s been moved to a private ward.”I didn’t even let her finish before I whispered a shaky “Thank you” and bolted toward the hallway she pointed.Behind me, Donald and Tricia finally caught up, their footsteps echoing in the corridor. My heart was raci

“I’m waiting, Tricia,” I said firmly, folding my hands tight against my chest. My heart thumped harder with every passing second. “What feelings are you talking about?”Tricia froze, her lips trembling. She tried to laugh it off, a nervous chuckle breaking the silence. “Actually… let’s forget what I said,” she tittered, waving her hand in the air like it was nothing. “I think I was talking rubbish. I’m just exhausted and you know me...I tend to say shit whenever I’m exhausted. And that dude really stressed me out.” She forced another laugh that sounded fake even to her own ears, then quickly turned away from me and moved to Jayden’s bedside. She adjusted his blanket like she suddenly remembered he needed attention. “We should focus on Jayden right now.”“Tricia…” I stepped closer, my voice softer now but heavy with suspicion. “You can tell me anything. You need not hide anything from me. What are best friends for?”She froze again, her back to me. Her hands lingered on Jayden’s blanke

It’s been two days since I last saw Jayden.The silence around me these past two days has been heavy, like a stone pressing on my chest. I couldn’t focus at work. I kept staring at my computer screen, pretending to type while my thoughts wandered back to him lying unconscious. The sound of his laugh, the way he used to look at me, even when I hated him — it all came back in flashes I couldn’t fight off.Tricia noticed, of course. She always did.“Stop beating yourself up,” she scolded as she leaned on my desk during lunch break. “That man hurt you countless times. He doesn’t deserve your tears.”Her voice was sharp but her eyes were soft. She sighed and added, “Maybe karma came early for him.”I forced a smile, pretending her words were comfort. Comforting indeed. But my heart still ached.By the time the day ended, I was drained. Donald offered me a ride home, and I accepted. The car ride was quiet, at least for me. Donald spoke here and there, but his words never settled in my ears.
