Lila's pov I scrubbed my hands under the surgical lights, feeling the cool water wash away the tension of the past few hours. The operation had been intense, but we’d pulled through, and that was what mattered. I glanced at the clock on the wall—time was ticking down, and I had an anniversary dinner to get ready for. As I stepped out of the operating room, I spotted Sarah, my co-worker, leaning against the wall. She looked up from her phone, her face lighting up with a grin. “There you are! I thought you might’ve decided to take a permanent vacation in O.R” she teased. “Just another day at the office,” I replied with a weary smile. “But I’m done now. I need to get ready for tonight.” “Ah, yes! The grand anniversary dinner with Mr. Handsome himself,” Sarah said, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “Any last-minute changes? Does he have some urgent crisis to save the world from?” “Not that I know of,” I said, trying to sound hopeful. “He promised he’d be there on time this yea

Lila's pov As I struggled to wake up, my world was a blur. Everything felt heavy, like I was trapped in darkness. A TV played in the background: “—breaking news from downtown,” a reporter said. "Last night Hyperion has in a fierce battle with the notorious villain Blackthorn, who has resurfaced after months of silence. Eyewitnesses report that the confrontation led to widespread panic as civilians fled the scene. It is unclear how many were injured or if anyone was—” Fear surged through me. Where am I? And Alex—was he safe? “—the fight escalated with Hyperion unleashing a Solar Blast, but Blackthorn evaded, disappearing with an unidentified individual—” My memories snapped into place. The battle, the shadows, and then… me. I’d been taken. As my eyes cleared, I found myself trapped in darkness.The walls had strange symbols that glowed faintly. I was tied down to a stone altar with dark ropes that held my wrists and ankles. The room barely had any light , and the cold air felt hea

Lila's pov The tension in the room was thick. Damon’s smirk widened as he sensed our feelings—my doubt, Alex’s hesitation. His voice was confident as he continued "Oh, I see it now. You’re wondering, aren’t you? Did your husband,your Hyperion, really fall so low?"I could feel my chest tighten. I looked at the two men—Damon,my ex who was now a villian and Alex, the man I thought I knew, was a criminal. For the first time in my life, I didn’t know what to do or who to believe.But Damon wasn’t done. "I’ll give you one chance, Hyperion," he said. "Walk away. Save yourself. Because I promise, if you fight me, if you try to rescue her, I will release this footage. I will ruin you before her eyes, and the world will know that Hyperion is nothing more than a hypocrite—a liar."Alex’s looked at me but he didn’t move. His silence felt like a betrayal."Alex," I whispered, my voice trembling. "Tell me the truth. Did you... did you really do those things?"His jaw clenched, and for a moment,

Victor’s smile widened, but it didn’t reach his eyes. “You underestimate how far we’re willing to go to protect our interests, Lila. We have Hyperion right where we want him. With our resources, allies, and secrets, we can control him just as easily as we control you. He may be powerful, but the G.H.C. has strategies in place to ensure our dominance.”“No matter what you dominance you think you have,you can’t erase what’s between Alex and me,” I retorted.“He won’t stop until he finds me.”Victor chuckled, shaking his head. “That’s cute, really. But love doesn’t save people when it’s time for business. You’ve become a liability, and that means we have to eliminate the risk. It’s not personal; it’s just what we have to do.”Just then, the door swung open, and Alex stepped inside, his expression unreadable. My heart leaped at the sight of him, a wave of relief washing over me.“Alex!” I cried, reaching out to him. “Help me! They’re going to erase my memories!”He looked at me, his eyes f

Lila's pov I slowly opened my eyes, disoriented. My head felt heavy, and I felt an heavy headache. I blinked, trying to clear my vision. Where am I? It took me a moment to realize. I was in my own bed, the familiar blue walls surrounding me. But everything felt strange, as if I had just stepped into a dream. I sat up, wincing at the sharp pain that shot through my head. My mouth was dry, and a wave of confusion washed over me. What happened? I couldn’t remember anything from the last few days. My heart raced as I searched my mind, but all I found was emptiness. As I swung my legs over the side of the bed, the floor felt cool beneath my feet. I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. A delicious smell wafted up the stairs, pulling me toward the kitchen. My stomach growled, and I felt like I hadn’t eaten in a while. I stood and the room felt like an earthquake was happening I leaned against the wall for support, I took a shaky steps down.The smell of food grew stronger as I made
