Fighting Back

(Lily POV)Something is wrong with my medication.I've been pretending to take the pills Sarah gives me for three days now, hiding them under my tongue and spitting them out when she's not looking. The fog in my brain is starting to clear, like someone finally turned on a light in a dark room. And with the clarity comes anger.Rage burns in my chest as I remember Sarah's cruel words about my "pathetic fantasy" of Tony Stark. The way she spread those magazine photos across my blanket like evidence of my mental breakdown. The satisfied smile on her face as she watched me cry.But the worst part is the growing certainty that Tony was real. The memories are too detailed, too vivid to be just dreams. I can still feel his hand in mine, still remember the exact way his voice sounded when he said my name. The contract marriage, the foundation, Anna's scarred face, none of it feels like fantasy.So why is everyone trying to convince me it was?I wait until Sarah goes upstairs for her afternoon

The Doctor's Dilemma

(Dr. Martinez POV)The bruises on Lily Morrison's face are not from a fall.I've been a doctor for eight years, and I've seen enough domestic violence cases to recognize the signs. The finger-shaped marks on her cheek, the way she flinches when her husband approaches, the fear in her eyes when she looks at him, it all points to one conclusion.But what troubles me most is how wrong this whole situation feels. "Mrs. Morrison," I say gently, kneeling beside her hospital bed, "I need you to tell me exactly how you got these injuries."Her eyes darted to Alex Morrison, who stands in the corner with his arms crossed. The blonde woman, Sarah, I think her name is hovers nearby, watching every move I make."I fell," Lily whispers, so quietly I have to lean in to hear her. "Like Alex said. I tried to walk to the bathroom and my legs gave out.""And you hit your face on the coffee table?"She nods, but won't meet my eyes."What about your ribs? The pain seems severe.""I hit the kitchen counter

Poison and Promises

(Alex POV)The mercury is working beautifully.I watch Lily from across the living room as she struggles to lift a glass of water to her lips. Her hands shake uncontrollably, spilling drops across the front of her nightgown. The tremors started three days ago, right on schedule."Let me help you, darling," I say, crossing to her bedside with my most concerned expression."I can do it myself," she mumbles, but her words are slurred. The mercury has been affecting her speech too, another lovely side effect."Of course you can." I take the glass from her trembling hands and hold it to her lips. "But there's no shame in accepting help when you need it."She drinks gratefully, completely unaware that each sip of water, each IV drip, each meal has been carefully laced with organic mercury compounds. The beauty of mercury poisoning is how it mimics natural organ failure. By the time she dies, it will look like complications from her spinal injury.Just like it did with my first wife."How ar

The Real Tony Stark

(Lily POV)The baby monitor saved my life. Through the fog of whatever poison they've been giving me, I heard every word Alex and Sarah said. Mercury poisoning. His first wife Rebecca. The plan to kill me for insurance money. The threats against Dr. Martinez's little girl.I know the truth now. I'm dying, and they're the ones killing me. My hands shake uncontrollably as I reach for the tablet Sarah left on my bedside table. She brought it yesterday, saying I could watch movies to pass the time. She has no idea I've been using it for something else entirely.Something that might save my life.I've been researching Tony Stark whenever Alex and Sarah leave the house. At first, I was terrified I'd find nothing, that Sarah was right about him being just a fantasy my damaged brain created. But he's real. Anthony Edward Stark, billionaire businessman, owner of Stark Industries. He exists.The photos online don't look exactly like the man from my dreams, but close enough to make my heart race

Coperate Warfare

(Tony POV)Alex Morrison's name makes my blood boil every time I see it. I'm in my office reviewing quarterly reports when Pepper knocks on my door, holding her tablet with a concerned expression."Tony, I need you to look at something. It might be important.""If it's about the Morrison Construction lawsuit, I don't want to hear it today.""It's about Alex Morrison, but not the lawsuit." She sits across from my desk. "A woman sent you several desperate messages claiming her husband is trying to kill her. Her husband is Alex Morrison."That gets my attention. I look up from my papers."Alex Morrison as in Morrison Construction? The same Alex Morrison who's been trying to destroy my company for the past two years?""The same one." Pepper hands me the tablet. "Read this. It's either the most elaborate hoax I've ever seen, or this woman is in serious danger."I read through the message, my frown deepening with each line. The story sounds insane, mercury poisoning, insurance fraud, refere

First Contact

(Tony POV)"You're real," she whispers, and her voice sounds exactly like Anna's too.I stand frozen in the doorway, staring at a ghost. This woman—Lily Morrison—has my dead sister's face, my sister's voice, my sister's dark eyes filled with tears of relief.But she's not Anna. Anna died twenty-three years ago in a car accident. I held her small hand in mine as she took her last breath.This is someone else entirely. Someone who's being slowly murdered by her husband."Mrs. Morrison," I manage to say, stepping closer to her bed. "I'm Tony Stark. I understand you've been through a terrible ordeal.""You got my messages." Her words are slurred slightly, and her hands shake as she tries to wipe away tears. "I wasn't sure they would reach you. I wasn't sure you were real."Up close, I can see the signs of mercury poisoning Pepper researched. The gray tinge to her skin, the tremors, the way her pupils are dilated despite the bright room. She's been systematically poisoned, just like she cl

Escalating Danger

(Sarah POV)Alex is pacing around Lily's hospital room like a caged animal, his controlled facade finally cracking."How did she contact him?" he snarls under his breath. "She's been unconscious half the time, and we've been watching her constantly."I keep my voice low, conscious of the nurses passing by in the hallway. "Not unconscious enough, apparently. She's been more alert the past few days, asking more questions.""I've been increasing the mercury doses. She should be getting weaker, not stronger.""Maybe she's building up a tolerance. Or maybe she's not taking all her pills." I glance at Lily, who's still pretending to sleep. "Either way, Tony Stark didn't just randomly decide to visit her. Someone told him to come here."Alex stops pacing and looks down at his wife with pure hatred. For a moment, I think he might hit her right here in the hospital room."We need to search the house," he says finally. "Check her computer, her phone, anything she might have used to contact peop

The Doctor's Choice

(Dr. Martinez POV)My heart stops when I see Sarah's hand frozen in her pocket, guilt written all over her face."Sarah," I repeat more firmly, "what's in your pocket?""Nothing," she says quickly, but her voice shakes. "Just... tissues. Lily was crying earlier."I don't believe her for a second. The way she's holding her arm, the panic in her eyes, the way Alex is standing behind me like he's blocking my exit, everything about this situation screams danger."I need to examine Lily immediately," I say, moving toward the hospital bed. "Her blood work shows signs of heavy metal poisoning. Possibly mercury."Alex steps forward, his voice tight with forced calm. "Mercury poisoning? That's impossible. How could she have been exposed to mercury?""That's what I'm here to find out." I pull out my stethoscope, but I'm watching Sarah from the corner of my eye. Her hand is still in her pocket, and she's positioned herself between me and the door."Dr. Martinez," Sarah says sweetly, "I think the

Night of Terror

(Lily POV)The bedroom door burst open at 2 AM, slamming against the wall with a crack that made my heart stop. Alex stood silhouetted in the doorway, his phone clutched in one hand, his face twisted with a rage I'd never seen before."You lying bitch."I froze in my wheelchair, my legs, which could actually walk now, tucked beneath the blanket. For six days, I'd been secretly exercising, hiding my recovery, spitting out the mercury-laced medications. But somehow, he knew."Alex, what.." I started, but he crossed the room in three strides and grabbed my hair, yanking my head back so violently I saw stars."Don't play stupid with me!" He shoved his phone in my face. On the screen was my fake social media account, the messages I'd sent to Tony Stark's contacts. "You really thought I wouldn't find this? That I wouldn't have alerts set up for my own name?"My blood turned to ice. How had I been so careless?"I can explain..""Explain?" He laughed, a sound completely void of humor. "Explai

Rescue and Devastation

(Tony POV)I couldn't stop watching the monitors tracking Lily's vitals. Every beep, every irregular rhythm made my chest tighten with a fear I hadn't felt since the day Anna died."Mr. Stark, you should go home," the night nurse said gently. "It's been three days. You need rest.""I'm fine," I replied, not taking my eyes off Lily's pale, bruised face. She looked so small in that hospital bed, connected to tubes and wires that kept her alive.Three days since we'd pulled her from that house of horrors. Three days since I'd seen the fear in her eyes when she looked up at me from the top of those stairs. Three days of barely eating, barely sleeping, just sitting in this uncomfortable chair waiting for her to wake up.The doctors said she was lucky to be alive. The mercury poisoning alone should have killed her. Add in the physical trauma, the broken ribs, the internal injuries, it was a miracle her heart was still beating."Tony."I looked up to see Pepper standing in the doorway with t
