Chapter 70

Ram’s POV Honey’s voice grated against my nerves long before the plane even left the ground. She had that tone again, the one that dripped with entitlement and forced sweetness, the kind that made my temples pulse. This morning, I told her to get the hell out, to take the damn plane and disappear. She stayed anyway. And honestly, I didn’t even feel surprised. Just disgusted. “Ram, remind me again why you changed your mind?” she asked, feigning curiosity but clearly fishing for a fight. “I thought we were staying in New York. Why are we on a plane going back now?” I exhaled slowly, the kind of sigh that came from exhaustion, not patience. My gaze remained fixed on the dark stretch of runway outside the window, where lights blinked like dying fireflies against the morning haze. The engines hummed beneath my feet, but my mind was already miles ahead, somewhere far away, back where I should’ve been days ago. “I never planned to stay, Honey,” I said flatly, my tone devoid of warmth. “Y

Chapter 71

The first thing I felt was pain, sharp, pulsing, and disorienting, like someone had driven a knife through the fog of my sleep. My body jerked upright before my mind even caught up, and I found myself sitting on our bed, chest heaving, the sheets tangled around my legs as though I had been fighting in my dreams. My gaze darted across the room, tracing every familiar shadow, every corner that felt both known and strange. The air smelled faintly of cedar and linen, of home, yet something about it felt wrong.For a long, breathless moment, I couldn’t understand where I was. The soft light filtering through the curtains glowed in gentle streaks across the walls. The faint ticking of the clock echoed in the distance. Everything was exactly as it should be, too exactly.This was our room. Mine and Ram’s.But I wasn’t supposed to be here.The hospital, that’s where I should’ve been.I remembered everything so clearly. I was still fighting with Amanda, anger and adrenaline crashing through me

Chapter 72

“Do you have any news from him? Did he call you back?” Amy’s voice sliced through the hum of the air conditioner, soft but steady, the kind of tone that pretended to be casual yet carried the weight of concern. Her eyes were on me, sharp and searching, as if bracing herself for the answer she already feared. I forced a faint smile and shook my head. “No, Amy. I didn’t call him.” Her brows drew together, deepening the small crease between them. “Lexie, you need to. What about Macy’s medication? You and I both know he’s the only one who can help you right now.” Her words pressed against my chest like invisible hands, squeezing the air from my lungs. I looked down, pretending to read the messy pile of paperwork spread across my desk, even though the words blurred together into nothing. Anything, anything to avoid her gaze. “Really? You’re just going to ignore me?” she said again, this time her patience thinning. “Lex, it’s been six years, six long years raising Macy. Don’t you think

Chapter 73

It was half past eight in the morning when I dropped Macy off at the daycare center. She gave me that sleepy smile she always did before I left, the one that made it harder to walk away. Her tiny hand waved from the window, eyes half-lidded but still sparkling with warmth. I pressed my palm to the glass for a moment, as if I could hold her there, safe, before finally turning away.By the time I reached the company where I worked, it was already past nine. The elevator doors opened to the familiar hum of chatter, clattering keyboards, and the low buzz of office lights that somehow made everything feel heavier. The moment I stepped inside the reception, I was greeted by the chaos waiting on my desk, stacks of paperwork like towers closing in on me.I sighed, set my bag down, and forced myself to begin. Another long day. Another endless routine that barely left room for breathing.By mid-morning, during the short employee break, I finally gathered the courage to make the call I’d been dr

Chapter 74

It had been almost three days, though it felt much longer, three endless days of waiting, of hoping, of calling every number I could think of until my heart grew numb from the silence. I had already lost count of how many times I’d tried to reach my family, how many times I stared at my phone screen, willing it to light up with something, anything. Each unanswered ring was another quiet heartbreak, another reminder that I was alone in this.I had searched everywhere I could, online directories, old emails, social media, even the faintest clue that could lead me to my parents or brothers. But the harder I looked, the clearer it became that I was chasing ghosts. They were nowhere to be found. Not a single name appeared. Not one sign that they even wanted to be found.With a deep, frustrated sigh, I punched in my cousin Claire’s number again. The sound of the disconnect tone greeted me like a cruel joke. I set the phone down, pressing my palms against my face until I felt my pulse poundi

Chapter 75

It had been a few more days, and still, there was no call.Every morning began the same way, I’d wake before dawn, stare at the pale ceiling above me, and listen to the faint hum of the city outside. I’d reach for my phone, thumb hovering over the screen, and force myself not to check it. By noon, that fragile discipline would crack. I’d find myself scrolling, pretending to look at emails or project updates, when really, I was searching for one name. Just one.But there was nothing. Always nothing.The silence on Ram’s end was a strange kind of cruelty, the kind that didn’t scream but pressed quietly against my chest until breathing felt heavier each day. It was the kind of silence that followed you into dreams, into your morning coffee, into the spaces where memory still dared to exist.So I did what I’d always done best, I hid behind work. I drowned myself in the rhythm of productivity, spreadsheets, deadlines, calls, revisions. The glow of my laptop became both shield and prison. E

Chapter 76

Dinner had just ended, and I was trying my best to stay present, to focus on the tiny pieces of a puzzle scattered across the table instead of the storm in my chest. The soft hum of the television played in the background, the smell of warm food still lingering in the air, and the faint sound of rain tapping against the window filled the silence between my daughter and me. Macy sat cross-legged beside me, her small brows drawn together in exaggerated frustration as she complained that the puzzle she’d chosen was “too hard.”I laughed softly, pretending to be calm and patient, pretending that I wasn’t falling apart inside. I nodded and handed her another piece, feigning interest, though my thoughts were miles, years away.No matter how much I tried, I couldn’t stop thinking about Ram Jordan.Six long years. Six years since I last saw him, since the day I decided to disappear and build a new life from the ruins of what he left behind. But time, as it turns out, doesn’t heal everything.

Chapter 77

Lexie’s POVSix years hadn’t dimmed my memory of him by the slightest degree. If anything, those years had only sharpened it, carving every detail deeper into my mind. Ram Jordan, the way he moved, the way he spoke with quiet authority, the way a single glance from him could make a room fall silent, had never truly left me. He had a presence that demanded attention without even trying, a dangerous charm that left every woman around him caught between admiration and fear. And I, of all people, had known him, had been part of his world. I doubted I would ever forget him, even if I tried with all my heart.Almost an hour had passed since he left, and yet here I was, wide awake, trapped in the restless swirl of my own thoughts. I tossed and turned in bed like a child, trying every imaginable position, flipping from my side to my back to my stomach, only to find sleep a distant, cruel illusion. Every time my eyes fluttered shut, his face appeared, handsome, infuriatingly so, almost painful

Chapter 78

Ram’s POV(6 years ago)The moment Honey stepped into my office, the air shifted the way a room does when thunder moves in from the sea, heavy, charged, impossible to ignore. It was the sort of entrance that demanded drama, and I was already three steps past patience and one reckless impulse away from doing something I would regret. I didn’t wait for her to shape that practiced smile or offer a soft, honeyed hello; I cut her off before she could begin to perform. “What the hell are you doing here?” came out of me blunt and hard, the kind of question a man with everything to lose asks when he finds an intruder in his life.I did not bother with gentleness, I never had for people who earned nothing but consequences. My hand closed on her arm with the measured roughness of someone who knows the difference between a warning and a lesson, and I pulled her toward the door with the kind of authority that leaves no room for argument. She winced as though I had struck her, the sound irritated

Chapter 79

Ram’s POVThey left the papers scattered across my desk until the edges curled with the weight of nothing. I stared at them for a long, stupid second, as if I could will meaning into the blank spaces or summon some hidden thread that might unravel this knot of six years’ absence. But the truth was stubborn, unmoving, a stone lodged in my chest. Finally, I crushed the papers in my palm. The sound, the crisp, obscene tearing, felt almost ceremonial, a verdict pronounced by my own hands, the room shrinking around me with the weight of failure, of time spent clawing at an emptiness that had no edges. Six years. Six years and not a single clue, a single whisper, a single thread to follow.Claire’s voice came from beside me, even, brittle, carrying the particular sadness of a woman who had exhausted every rational avenue and was now staring into the unreasonable. “It’s been almost six years, Ram,” she said, soft but firm. “Maybe it’s time we stop. If she wanted to be found… we would have so
