Chapter 21: The devil got me this time

“Okay… We’re sorry, but your sister couldn’t make it. She just lost her memory. But she’s stable and doing fine,” the doctor said, his tone careful but heavy.I froze, staring at him in disbelief. What did he just say?“What?” My voice cracked, louder than I intended. “She lost her memory, and you’re standing there telling me she’s fine? Do you even hear yourself?”The words felt unreal. My chest tightened, my breath came shallow. I stepped closer, my hands trembling.“Please… tell me this is a joke. I can’t accept it. How am I supposed to explain this to my mom? How am I supposed to believe it myself?”But the doctor didn’t answer. He repeated the same cold sentence, then turned and left, his white coat disappearing down the corridor.I stood there, stranded in shock. My legs felt weak, like they could no longer carry me. The sterile smell of antiseptic filled my nose, making me dizzy. I forced myself to take a deep breath, but it came out broken. Another followed, heavier.This can’

Chapter 22: IT'S ALL MY FAULT.

The hospital corridors felt endless, stretching into a maze of white walls and sharp fluorescent lights. My shoes echoed against the tiles as I half-walked, half-ran, weaving through nurses, patients, and visitors. My chest tightened with every breath, not just from the running but from the dread clawing at me inside.Mom was already ahead. She had moved faster, guided by desperation. I had slowed at some point, my legs heavy, my thoughts tangled, and by then I’d lost her in the crowd.She later told me she had wandered too, stopping strangers with urgent questions, trying to find the right room. At last, a doctor in charge had shown her the way. By the time I arrived, she was already standing outside the door.We entered together.The sight froze me in place.Betty lay motionless on the bed, her gaze fixed on the ceiling fan. The blades spun lazily, slicing the air with a low hum. She didn’t turn her head when we walked in. She didn’t blink. It was as if she was locked in another wor

Chapter 23: IT'S TIME TO UNDO WHAT WE HAVE DONE.

The car pulled away from the curb, and with that, the long journey began. The city outside blurred past my window, tall buildings and busy streets melting into one continuous stream of motion. I slipped on my headphones, pressed play on my best playlist, and let the music wash over me. The driver rode smoothly, hands steady on the wheel.It was going to be a two-hour journey.I replayed the same song over and over, as though it could build a wall strong enough to contain my thoughts. Music was my only peace, but even then, stray worries kept finding their way inside.How do I explain my father’s absence to Darius?How do I tell him about Betty’s condition?The questions circled endlessly in my mind.My heart skipped as memories pushed their way in. I remembered the day Darius had insisted that Betty should leave the house. He had been so firm, so sure. Wasn’t it because I had told him I wasn’t comfortable with what she and my husband were doing under the same roof? Or was there someth

Chapter 24: MAKING LOVE AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME

“What is going on?” Darius asked again, his voice heavier this time, his eyes fixed on me with a seriousness that made my heart pound faster. He had asked once already, but now the weight of his tone told me he wasn’t going to let this go easily. His gaze was sharp, yet there was a softness behind it.I swallowed hard, not knowing how to explain the storm raging inside me. If I told him everything, he might lose his mind. I didn’t want to ruin his night or his spirit. He had been through so much already. But how can we ever move forward if I keep holding things back? The question echoed in my mind like a whisper I couldn’t silence.“Okay, Darius,” I said at last, forcing a small smile. “It’s already late. Tomorrow morning… we’ll talk. Please, not tonight.” My words came out gently, almost pleading.He stared at me for a long moment, as though trying to read between the lines, trying to catch the truth in my eyes. Then, finally, he sighed. “O-okay… I just pray it’s nothing serious.” Hi

Chapter 25: THE HALLWAY.

It was past midnight, a little after twelve. I woke up naked, my skin damp with sweat, my body restless and unsatisfied. The sheets clung to me, cool against my overheated skin. I reached for my clothes, hoping the familiar fabric would ground me, but even as I dressed, a sharp ache of desire still pulsed through me.I turned my head toward Darius. He lay there sleeping, his chest rising and falling steadily, his presence a strange kind of comfort and temptation all at once. His body was beautiful, almost glowing under the dim light, and my gaze drifted against my will. His manhood stirred something in me, but I forced myself to look away, swallowing hard. I had to control myself.I told myself I only needed water, just something cold to drink to soothe the dryness in my throat. But as I moved, my eyes betrayed me, flicking back to him. He didn’t stir. His breathing stayed steady. I moved quietly, careful not to wake him.The hospital felt strange at night. The walls seemed too white,

Chapter 26: THE STRANGER CAME FOR ME!

Morning sunlight filtered weakly through the dusty hospital blinds, streaking the floor with pale gold. The sterile smell of antiseptic clung to my skin, mixed with the faint scent of sweat and fear. I had spent the morning whispering soft words to Darius, brushing his hair back from his forehead, doing everything I could to keep his spirits up. But beneath my smiles and gentle touches, my heart thudded like a drum. He didn’t yet know the truth about last night's shadows, the messages, the woman.I had to get him out. I had to get us both out. This hospital was no longer safe, not for another night.Darius sat propped up on the hospital bed, his face lit with a calm happiness I hadn’t seen in a while. Maybe it was because of the night we’d just had the intimacy we’d shared, the rawness of reconnecting after so long apart. It had felt strange but familiar, a reminder of what we once were. For a brief moment, it had even been fun. But the morning light didn’t erase the danger lurking j

Chapter 27: IS LEAVING AN OPTION?

The minutes dragged like hours. Every tick of the clock made me more restless. My ears caught every sound outside the room footsteps, murmured voices, the squeak of a trolley wheel. Each noise twisted in my stomach like a warning.Finally, I stood and smoothed my clothes. “Let’s get downstairs before the driver arrives,” I said, my voice low but firm. “I don’t want us trapped here when he gets here.”Darius shifted uncomfortably, his bandaged leg stiff. He gritted his teeth and leaned on me as he stood. He was heavier than I remembered, or maybe my body was simply too tense with fear to carry him easily. Still, I tightened my arm around him, refusing to let him falter.I slung the bag across my shoulder and opened the door. The hallway stretched ahead, pale and sterile, yet it felt like walking through enemy territory.“Easy,” I whispered as he limped beside me.The fluorescent lights buzzed above, flickering faintly. My eyes scanned every corner, every shadow. Twice, I thought I saw

Chapter 28: FINALLY OPENED UP TO HIM.

The car sped through the evening streets, headlights slicing through the dim orange glow of the sinking sun. Darius leaned forward, his voice firm as he gave the driver quick instructions.“Take this short cut. We need to get out of this city fast and head into ours,” he said, his tone carrying both urgency and exhaustion.The driver nodded, saying nothing. His hands gripped the steering wheel tighter as he followed the directions. Jenna sat quietly beside Darius, her heart racing faster than the vehicle itself. Her mind was heavy with thoughts of Betty lying in the hospital bed, the danger that seemed to follow them, and the secret she was still holding back from her husband.Their plan was simple, at least on the surface. They would first stop at Darius’s mansion so he could bathe and change into fresh clothes. Then, they’d head straight to the hospital where Betty was waiting. The plan had been Jenna’s idea; she knew her sister needed them, but she also knew Darius couldn’t face Be

Chapter 29: WHAT DO WE DO?

Darius’s shout shook the room like thunder. He shoved his chair back, his hands gripping his hair as though trying to tear the truth out of his skull.“Her memory? What the hell do you mean she lost her memory?!” His voice cracked with rage and disbelief.Jenna flinched. She had prepared for this moment, but the reality of it still pierced her chest. “Honey, please, calm down. The doctors said”“Don’t honey me, Jenna!” he snapped, slamming his hand against the table so hard the plates rattled. His eyes were wild, glossy with pain he couldn’t contain. “You should have told me earlier. You let me come all this way, sit down to eat, and only now you tell me my Betty doesn’t even know who she is anymore?”Tears spilled freely down Jenna’s cheeks. She wanted to run, but she forced herself to stay. “I didn’t know how to tell you. You were barely strong enough to leave the hospital yourself. I couldn’t crush you with that news when you were still recovering.”Darius paced the room, chest hea

Chapter 30: FOR ONCE MY REQUEST WAS GRANTED.

Darius’s eyes glistened with something Jenna had never seen before. His gaze was fixed, almost burning, as he leaned closer to Betty.“Who is coming for us?” he asked, his voice tight, trembling between fear and anticipation.Betty spoke, her words cutting through the quiet air of the room like a blade. Whatever she said left everyone stunned.Jenna felt her chest tighten. A storm swirled inside her as she turned her head sharply toward Darius. To her disbelief, his whole face darkened with worry not for her, not even for their shared struggles but for Betty.Why? Jenna thought bitterly. Why is he more worried about my sister than about me?And then it happened. Right there in front of her, without hesitation, he called Betty his love.The words struck Jenna like a cruel slap. She froze, her body refusing to move as her heart tried to understand what her ears had just heard.“My love?” she whispered under her breath, though no one heard. How can he call her that? Were they married bef
