Rhea's Pov It's already been three days since I woke up from my eight month coma. It hasn't been easy to adapt to the fact that I was unconscious for eight months but so far, so good. Alaric had stayed by my side all second throughout the three days. I had to force him to leave to go to work and when he didn't agree, I literally threatened him that if he didn't leave, I wasn't going to agree to see him for one whole week. Don't insult me, but that's what I could take and apparently, he couldn't so it worked either way. He would stop by later so I was alone and bored. I was staring at the window, my mind oddly quiet despite the whirlwind of thoughts that had been tormenting me all day. The steady beep of the machines, the soft murmur of the nurses outside, and the grey-blue sky beyond the window seemed to lull me into a strange sense of peace. But peace never lasted long for someone like me.A loud crash broke through the stillness like a thunderclap. I jolted, snapping my head arou

Rhea's PovJust as I was catching my breath and limping toward the hallway, the door burst open and BAM! I smacked right into something solid.Correction: someone solid. Two strong arms caught me before I could hit the floor, and the moment I looked up, I saw a blur of familiar blue eyes and furrowed brows.“Rhea?” Alaric’s voice was low but frantic, his hands flying to my shoulders, then my waist, then my arms, then my face, as if trying to confirm I was still intact.“Are you okay? What happened?! Are you hurt? Where… Why are you…?”Laziel was behind him, wide-eyed and out of breath like they had sprinted the whole damn hospital floor.“I’m fine.” I muttered quickly, though my heart was still pounding in my ears, “Kevin… He was in my room.”At that, Alaric froze. His eyes sharpened like a blade pulled from its sheath. He gently cupped my cheek and frowned. Since that place he stared at was stinging a bit, and Kevin held my face so tightly earlier, there must be some sort of mark the

Rhea's Pov Kevin's gaze brightened up. I squashed the hope he felt back down without mercy. “But not anymore.” I said, my voice cold. Throughout the time Kevin was unconscious and being tied up, I had regained a lot of memories regarding him, and apart from the confusing memories about an older me, it was relatively complete. At least I didn't think I was missing a lot of gaps. I could see that Kevin and I had nothing to do with each other, not since I told him after I was thrown into the pool that I wasn't interested in him any longer. “Why the hell are you deluding yourself into believing that I love you? After everything you did to me, were you still expecting me to run into your arms the moment you tell me that you realise your mistake? You only want to come back to me because of the position that you are in now! After I fell unconscious, you must have garnered a lot of debts, didn't you? You lost a lot of money after that stock market crashed, you also lost the house tha

Rhea's Pov “Are you serious?!” I spluttered, my eyes wide. “Why not?” He shrugged, casually slipping his hand back around my waist and continuing to lead me down the hall as if he hadn’t just dropped a bomb in my lap, “We’re already living together. You sleep in my bed most nights. I know all your habits, except the ones you’re hiding from me, and you clearly like me.”“I am not…!”“Rhea.” He cut in, tilting his head to look at me with a lazy, satisfied smirk, “You literally just asked me to kiss you. What else do you need me to do? Put a ring on your finger before you admit it?”I opened my mouth, then promptly shut it, too flustered to argue. It was true that my heart had leapt into my throat at the mention of a wedding, but whether it was from fear or excitement, I couldn’t quite tell.Alaric leaned closer again, his breath brushing against my cheek, “No rush.” He murmured, “But I’m serious. I’ve wasted enough time watching from the sidelines while you struggled. I won’t do it an

Rhea's Pov “This isn't good.” I mumbled, my heart racing slightly, “What about her parents? Do you think they know where she is?” “I don't know, but it's possible they also have no idea of Miss Ava's whereabouts. The last time I saw them, Miss Ava's mother was trying to act normally but I could see that she was unsettled. I decided to take matters into my own hands so I met up with Miss Ava's mother and her condition has deteriorated.” “Deteriorated? What do you mean by that?” “Paranoid. She was being paranoid, yelling about how she was being watched and how she's unsafe. Begging me to help her escape or she'll die, she was saying different kinds of things. I didn't understand but the more I thought about it, I realised that maybe they were being targeted by someone. It could be that Victor Grant was using them against Ava. I'm not really sure where to put all of my theories but I know that Victor Grant is in the middle of everything that's happening now.” Her words san
